STATUS OF POSTMASTERs.
tBy Telegraph to Virginian-P llot)
Washington. Jan. 1o.-Thc invcstiga-
ton as to the alleged polygamous stat
us of certain Federal appointees in
Utah was resumed to-day by the House
Committee on Postonlces and Post
Roads.
Postmaster General Smith, who had
been summoned. detailed the curcum-
stances so far as they had come to his
knowledge. although the two appoint
ments under consideration were made
prior to his administration. He had
found however. that attention had not
boon directed to any chnnge prior to
the appointment, although subsequent
ly papers which had been submitted
were brought TO the attention OF the
higher officials.
One of these was n letter from n. e..
ClemeRson. pastor of the Presbyterian
Church. OF Logan. Utah. addressed
Personal to the President" and dated
Logan, November %, 1897. In this Rev.

Clemcnson states that "NIr Smith, the
postmaster Mt Logan, Is high eccles
iastic of the Mormon Church, living in
Il polygamous status"
There was also Il petition received.
Mr.. Smith presented letter from
Private Secretary Porter, dated yester-
day, saying that at the White House
there is no record of any letters, petit
lions or protests regarding the appoint
ment of Tostmasters John c. Graham,
at Provo City, Utah. and that as to the
other appointment, Orson Smith. at
Logan. Utah, n letter ana some petit
tons having been received and for
worded to the department
Mr. Bristow. Assistant Postmaster
General, stated that he made up a
brief relative to the Presidential APP
pointments to stmasterships. and
when these Utah cases were brefcd he
had no knowledge OF any polygamous
charges against the parties. The Glenn
ensnn letter had not at that time come
to his attention. nor did 1t get before
the Postmaster General, as the clerks
who handled 1t did not so brief 1t as
to call special attention to 1t.

INSTRUCTION AND WARMING.

London. Jan. 2O.-The Daily Mail
publishes the following dispatch, dnted
Thursday, from Spearman's Camp:
1T is rumored that the Beers have
evacuated Colenso in order to reinforce
their troops here. Heavy gun fire was
heard from Ladysmith this morning.
General Buffers order instructs the
men to heed the white flag of the Beers
only when they lay down their arms.
1t also instructs them to beware of
false bugle calls"

Camp, Jan. 19.-Everything is quiet
The position is unchanged and there is
very little bombarding.

The heat is intense, but there is no
increase OF sickness.

Secretary of State. Mr.. Hale made the
question the text Of an impassioned
speech. in which he declared that nine
tcnths of the American people sympa-
thized with the Beers in their gallant
struggle for liberty against one of the
greatest powers in the world
He spoke with unusual force, deci-
siveness and earnestness, even for him.
ana his passionate elouuencc claimed
the closest attention of every auditor.
at the opening the Allen resolution.

Information as to whether any repre-
sentative of the Transvaal had applied
to the United States Government for
recognition, and If such application hnd
been made, If it mad been accented ana
II not why not, was laid before tho
Senate.
MIR. sPOONER's VIEWS.
Mr. Spooner. of Wismconsin. moved
that the resolution be directed to the
President, and he be requested to fur
IRISH the information If not incompnt-
ible with public interest.
1.-THE Senate had no right" he said
TO demand information from the Pres
ident, but the President was the abso-
to communicate the information asked
for. He utterly repudiated, he said. the
doctrine advanced repeatedly by Sena-
tors that the people were entitled to
information from day TO day regarding
the conduct of our foreign business.
1t was perfectly manifest. he
thought, that diplomacy to be success
full must be secret 1t was evident. too.
that from the status OF foreign affairs
the Secretary OF State was the servant
of the President ana not of Congress.
Mr.. Spooner maintained that the
President ought to have discretionary
power about giving out information. as
1t was given not only to the American
people. but to the world. Even infor-
nation given by the President in ex-
ecutivc session could not always be
held in confidence
