Route to Utah.
Denver, Colo, June IA carload of
girls converted to mormonism passed
through Denver yesterday to join the
Utah followers of Joseph Smith and
Brigham Young. They were in charge
Of a deacon and the deacon's wife, and
were among the fairest the east could
produce-cheeks and eyes betokening
the healthy farm life that the major
ity have been leading. Some were IS
and others 22 years of age, but there
was none older than that. They came
from Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and other
valley states. All expect to marry
rich mormons. Miss Jennie Hodges,
a Peoria beauty, speaking for the 9TH
err twenty brides-elect, said: IF find
no one to suit me won't get married.
Young men are becoming mormons
and going to Utah from our state all
the time. There are not enough eli
gible men for all the girls in the east.
It's awful TO be an old maid"

Public sentiment in Tacoma is strong

Japs, and by public meetings, news
paper criticisms and discussions in the
meetings of workingmen's unions the

clared in favor of restricting or pro-
hibiting Japanese immigration"

INDIAN FAMINE IN SENATE.
Mr.. Perkins Presents a Petition Asking
Relief.

Relief.
Washington, d. c., June AT the
opening of the session of the senate
today Mr.. Perkins (Cal.) presented a
petition from organizations and indi-
viduals of his state, asking congress
to make an appropriation for the re-
lief of the furnishing people of India
and he asked that it be referred to the
committee on appropriations. He was
not, he said, in possession of sufficient
information to enable him to prepare
a proper resolution dealing with the
question.
In 1897 he had asked for and procur-
ed ship to carry to India provisions
donated by the people of California,
Oregon, Washington. Nebraska Kan
sas and Iowa. The provisions aggre-
gated 1000 tons. No official ack-
nowledgment ever had been received
of that donation so far as he was
aware. He hesitated now, therefore,
TO press resolution looking to the
relief of the people of India, lest the
government of Great Britain might
not look with favor upon the action
of congress in sending to India unso-
licited aims, as it had not looked with
favor on a friendly intervention by
this government in the South African
war.
The resolution brought from Mr..
Hale (Me) a bitter attack on Great
Britain. He demanded to know what
England had been doing for her starv-
ing millions in India, while she was
pouring out unlimited Treasure to
crush two republics in Africa.
Mr. Perkins said he did not wish 10
debate that question, but he did wish
careful committee report on the
memorial. 1t was sent to the commit
tee on appropriations.

PRESIDENT KRUGER IS Ill.
Dispatch from kroonstadt Says He
Is in Bad Health.
Beers NOT READY TO GIVE UP
withdraw from Pretoria but Mass for
Determined Stand Against Advance of
Roberts Loss at Douglas

London, June "A belated dispatch
from Kroonstad, dated Tuesday, May
20, reports that President Kruger is
very i'll and adds that the stationmas-
ter at Kroonstad says the president is
dead. This, however, was not cred
tied.
London is still awaiting the news
that Lord Roberts army has occupied
Pretoria, Notwithstanding that event
has been considerably celebrated al
ready. 1t is supposed that Gems.
French and Hamilton are advancing
to-day on Pretoria. Dispatches from
the front generally agree that there
will be no defense of the town. The
impression is growing. however that
there will be further fighting in the
Transvaal before the state is pacified.
1t is believed that President Kruger
has gone to Lydenburg to reorganize
the shattered commandos. and will i'm
mediately draw around him the bur-
ghers who are now resisting Gen. Bull
ler's army in the region Of Laing's
mex. Meanwhile Gems. Randle and
Brabant are still having trouble at the
hands of the Free State burghers.
From Douglas, Cape Colony, sixty
miles southwest of Kimberly, comes
the news that small British force has
been surprised by Dutchmen, and that
the commanding officer and sixteen
British soldiers were killed. Gen. Ba-
den-Powell and Col Mahon are thought
to be marching across the Transvaal,
by way of Zeerust and Lichtenburg,
with the intention of joining the Brit
ish forces at some point west Of Pre-
toria. Lord Roberts is reported to
have issued proclamation guarantee
ing immunity to non-leaders, who sur
render their arms, and take an OATH
not to fight again.
Boer Position in Doubt.
London, June 2, 3:45 a. m.-Lord
Roberts continues silent regarding
Pretoria, probably because he cannot
wire Of events from his own knowl-
edge. Lourenco Marques, where all
the news from the Boer side is re-
handled, cables that communication
with Pretoria is now suspended.
Some messages by courier have
reached Lourenco Marques, but none
of later date than Wednesday. These
assert that the burghers are in state
of panic and that Pretoria is being
controlled by vigilance committee.
Lourenco Marques again sends the re-
port that President Kruger has been
captured. The news blank gives rise
to a suspicion that the citizens COM
mittee at Pretoria may not have been
able to carry out the plans for secur-
ing the peaceful entry of Lord Roberts
and sparing the city the horrors Of a
Siege.
