Investigating P0lygamy.

Washington, Jan. 8.-Immediately
after reading of the journal in the house
today Dalzell (Pa.), from the committed
on rules, reported back the resolution
introduced last week by Lentz (Ohio),
for the investigation of the committee
appointed to investigate the case of Rep
resentative-elect Roberts of charges that
John c. Graham, postmaster of Provo,
Utah, and Orson Smith, postmaster at
Logan, Utah, were guilty of polygamous
practices, with the recommendation that
it pass amended so as to provide that
the investigation shall be made by the
committee on postoff1ces and postroads,
instead Of by special committee.
Wheeler (Ky) remarked that in his
opinion the resolution for investigation
was pure proof of political buncombe.
1.-The president has full power in the
premises" said Wheeler, land there is
no necessity for congressional investiga-
tion.'
The resolution was passed without d.
vision.

The presence of plague in this city is
commencing to worry sugar men. They
nave an idea Hawaiian sugar may be re-
fused at United States ports If shipped
from Honolulu. To get around this diff
fculty the new crop may be shipped from
ports outside Honolulu. Honolulu being
the only infected port, it is believed the
federal authorities will agree to this plan
and allow the marketing of the 1899 crop.

Senator whiteside of Montana continued
his testimony in the Clark senatorial
case before the committee on privileges
and ELECTIONS today. He was cross-ex-
amined by ex-senator Faulkner. Inc
examination brought out the fact that
whiteside, as a member of the commit
tee to investigate the state capitol COM
mittee. had made a minority report,
charging corruption. He was asked II
this was the case in which ne nao sus-
gested to ]. p. McCabe that this minority
report could be suppressed for $2,5oO' put
denied that such was the case.
He said his sole purpose in undertaking
the exposure of bribery in the legislature
that elected Clark was to protect the
good name Of the state.
II desired" he said, "to have some one
accent money so as Ito expose the
methods of Clark"
did you become friend OF Clarks
friends for the purpose of entrapping
them?"
IT can't say exactly, but I suppose I
did"
"In doing this, did you not know you
were assuming an attitude Of misrepre-
sentation?"
IT did,
WAS this not position of false
hood?"
"I can't say as to that. but I had to
make number of Misrepresentation"
what do you consider lie?"
''I consider it misstatement to one
who has a right to know the truth-not
to one who has no right to know it."
Whiteside said he did not see how any
honest man could vote for Clark after
the exposure of the committee of investi-
CATION, and said, under pressure. that the
remark applied to "a members who cast
their votes for that gentleman.
He said, in reply to a question, that
Marcus Daily was an acquaintance OF MS
mot a friend-though he should be glad
to have him for a friend.
Have you received $35,000 for this pre-
tended exposure?" asked Faulkner.
IT have not received $4,000, or any sum
for that SERVICE" witness replied.
Relating to his conversation with Clark
prior to the latter's election, he said he
was positive Clark himself had said,
among other things, that State Senator
Anderson could not be Influenced with
money like some of the other members.
and that this statement was not made by
Welcome. as appeared in the printed re-
port of his testimony before the grand
jury of Lewis and Clarke county.
Witness said the money to pay for the
present prosecution has been raised by
subscription, and he understood that
Daily was one of the subscribers to the

The cross-examination further brought
out that witness had no personal knowl-
edge of bribery in the case of three men,

THE FRENCH-CA CANADIANS,
ONE OF THEIR PAPERS SAYS THEIR
DAY OF DELIVERANCE IS
X AT HAND.

New York, Jan. S.-A special to the
Times from Washington says: Lift up
your eyes, French Canadians, for the day
of your redemption is at hand" Thus
La Semaine Religuse, the organ of the
Roman Catholic hierarchy in the prov.
ince OF Quebec, which is published at the
franciscan monastery, in quebec and un-
der the authorization and supervision OF
his grace, Archbishop Begin. opens
long article in this weeks issue on AN
glomania in Canada"
Continuing La Semaine Religuse says:
You (Freneh- -Canadians) conquered by
England, ever hated and oppressed by
the race which is your enemy, whose chill
their oppressors in schools of the Unit
ed States and Manitoba. you shall at last
see the star Of your liberty rise for you
and your rights respected by those who
have SO long violated them"
The developments of the war In South
Africa leads La Religuse to speak in this
strain of what it refers to as the ap-
preaching emancipation Of the French
Canadians. The article Is an exceeding
ly interesting one, as expressing the sen.
timents of the French Canadian clergy
regarding the loyalty of French-Cana-
dians to Great Britain.
The attitude of the church in Canada
towards the possible annexation of this
count rt'r to the United States 10 also net
forth with considerable emphasis. AT
ter speaking Of what it calls the rabid
hostility OF the English Protestants in
Canada to the French Canadians the
article continues:
1.-The situation would become much
more critical for the French-Canadan
race II the Anglomaniacs of Ontario and
of Canada, instead of being little sympa-
thetic with the Yankees and their repub
lic, as they are Just, at present, should
become reconciled with them and under
take to bring about the annexation of
Canada to the United States. Such
reconciliation is quite possible for the
hatred of the Catholic religion and the
French Canadian race is profound among
a very great number of English Protes-
tants in the country. 1t may easily lead
them to forget the secondary differences
which divide them and unite them in a
firm alliance against the religion and the
race which they hate.
"Once annexted to the United States
Canada would become rapidly and
wholly English E-gulfed In the turbu-
lent sea Of American life, swallowed up
in the nnire CT national schools. immersed
in the great swirl of Yankee business,
could we long retain our French-Cana-
dian atraits and characteristics? What
indeed would be left of us at the end OF
so years. Would not ours be the fate
which was that OF our former compatri-
OTIS of New Orleans? We believe that IL
Canada became a part Of the United
States, another century would see us
without trace Of the spirit the langu-
age or the customs of our fathers"

THE NEW KING,

Italy's new King, Victoria Emanuele
Ferdinand Maria Gennaro, formerly
the Prince of Naples, was born Nov.
II, 1869. From his birth he was, a
small and sickly child and for a long
time it was a question whether he
would live to arrive at the age of ma
turity.
The responsibility for the young
Kings present ailments is to great
extent placed upon his mother, who
is more than half German. When he
was ten years old she insisted on the
lad being put to educational tasks by
the German methods of learning that
overwhelmed him and gave him no on.

strong.

alarming that King Humbert, over
ruling his wife's wishes, dismissed all
the pedagogic torturers and sent the
Crown Prince travelling thru Eu-

Prince has completed his military stu
dies and he was given command Of
the military division of Naples, subse-
quently obtaining command at Flor

HOW THEY GROW.

The development of the manufac-
turing industries of the United States
during the past decade, and especially
during the second half of the decade,
is illustrated by the completed figures
of the treasury bureau of statistics,
showing the imports of manufacturers
materials and exports of finished man
ufactures in the fiscal years 1890, 1895
and 1900. From 1890 to 1895 importa-
lions of manufacturers materials in
creased $9,O47,231, and from 1895 to
100 they increased $114,8l,3 1853.
From 1890 to 1895, the exports of
manufactures increased $32,493,367;
from 1895 to 1900, they increased $24S,-
68S,623. Manufacturers materials
formed in 1890 23.06 per cent. of the
total imports, in 1895 1854 per cent,
and in 1900, 1857 per cent; finished
manufactures formed in 1890 1881 per
cent of the exports, in 1895, 23.14 per
cent, and in 1900 31.54 per cent.

There seems to be no longer any
good reason to doubt that Minister
Conger, his family and the other mem
bers of the Pekin legation are alive.
This is good news and will relieve
many anxious hearts turnout the world.
The thing to do now is to send an
armed force to Peking to assure the
permanent safety of the legations. If
the Chinese government has been able
to protect them so far, or if, as is more
probably the case, they have been
able to save themselves, there is no
warranty that things will turn out
equally fortunately in the future. The

AS an Illustration how protection
hurts the farmer the Astoria, ILL.,, Search
Light cites this instance: "A Wood
land township democrat farmer, dur
ing the Cleveland times of five years
ago, traded an old COW for so head of
sheep and was to give SIS to boot.
One of the sheep was dead when he
went after them and the bargain was
closed for 81 and the old COW. To
give practical illustration of what
this republican administration has one
for that Woodland democrat who yot-
ed for Bryan, free silver, free trade.
and free wool, we will say that this
farmer has since that time sold $500
worth of sheep and wool from his
flock that he gave 81 and the old COW
for, and now has 172 fine sheep left.
All this in five years, under republican
tariff, gold standard administration.
Will that man vote the democratic

His love for it has never left him,
and he is continually experimenting
with well-nigh everything that con-
Germs electricity. He was one of
the first and most successful expert
mentors with the X-rays after their
discovery, and his apartments, wher-
ever he may be, always bear the as
pc t of the abode of the scientist.
In August, 1896, his betrothal to
Princess Helene of Montenegro, third
laughter of the reigning prince, was
announced, and two months later they
were married. The princess was born
in 1873.
The, Queen of Italy scored a per-
sonal triumph when the wedding
ceremony was performed, for her son
had persistently vowed that he would

Prince Victor had been for years
morbidly sensitive on the subject Of
marriage. His diminutive form and
weak constitution kept him constantly
in the belief that if he married and
had any offspring the child would be
deformed.
The Prince of Naples is looked on,
despite his. ill health and morose
disposition, as one of the most bril-

Which his father unfortunately did

pertaining to mentality and strength

fat-er, Victor Emmanuel over again.

site or location. The latter matter is
a minor consideration, which can
safely be left to the good sense and
Judgment of the people of Ottumwa.
2. Ottumwa wants a pretty park in
the square fronting the Union depot,
regardless of any question of public
liprary.
Ottumwa should start out with a
fixed determination to bring these
two things about and nothing should
ne permitted to stand in the way of
their accomplishment.
So far as the Courier is concerned
we are not in favor of the depot site
for the public library. We believe the
library should be located on or above
Second street and our first choice is
for a location facing on the court
house and postoffice square, But
there are many fine locations for such
building that would be preferable in
almost all respects to the depot loca-
ton. A public library should be in a
retired location, away from the imme-
date turmoil of business, and yet
should be accessible to the general
public by street car lines and main
thorofares.
On the other hand the Courier is
most emphatically in favor of convert
ing the entire square in front of the
Union depot into pretty park. The
people already own nearly 100000
worth of this property, and by con-
demnation proceedings the council can
secure for few thousand dollars the
balance of the block, and devote it to
the pleasure and comfort of all the
people for all time to come. If this
is not done the people of this city
Will have the unspeakable disgrace of
seeing beer bottling establishment,
horse stables, beer key sheds, ETC.,
placed upon one end of this block,
with the consequent ruin of the prop.
erty belonging to all the people. 1t is
simply unthinkable that such a thing
will be permitted.

be carried on a great excursion train
