POLYGAMY OPPOSED.
Younger Generation Of Aormons
Against It
Evidence Secretly Furnished Unit
ed States Authorities in Legal
Proceedings by Mormon
Children.

ut is a great mistake to suppose that
the Mormons are united in secret in
dorsement of polygamy," said resi-
dent of Salt Lake City the other day.
1.-The younger element-that is, the
children of the original emigrants
from Nauvoo. back in 1S47-is bitterly
opposed to the practice and has prac-
fically stamped it out. When the Unit
ed States authorities began to enforce
the general law on the subject in 1885
they could never have made out single
case had it not been for the evidence
they were privately furnished by the
younger Mormons, and on the strength
of that information they sent dozens of
the most prominent men of the terri
tory to the penitentiary. That is a
well-known fact, although, of course,
it would be denied. The fight on polyg-
amy in the church ranks is what might
be called a sweethearts' war.
"The women among the early settlers
didn't know enough to stick up for their
rights. They were cowed by hardship
and persecution and were under the
thumbs of the men, but their daughters
are of different breed. The average
Mormon girl of the present day is a
beautiful, healthy, high-spirited crea-
ture, with good education, a deep
chest and mind of her own. She won't
stand for polygamy not for moment,
and when the sweethearts lay down the
law the young men are pretty certain
to obey. Anyhow, that's been the case
out in Utah. As a young business man
of Salt Lake City said to me recently:
we have better wives now and we don't
need SO many of them He was son
of an early apostle of the church and
he has more stepmothers than he could
count on his fingers and toes. Roberts
represents the older element, now rap
idly dying out, and the new blood of
Utah is dead against him.
II am Gentle" continued the speak
er-"you know everybody in Utah who
isn't a Mormon is a Gentle, even
though he be Jew, but have lived out
there since '72 and | believe know the
people thoroughly. They are very much
misunderstood by the outside world.
Very few are aware, for instance, that
the textbook of their religion is the
Bible. The Book of Mormon is simply
supplementary volume, purporting to
give history of the lost tribe that set
tied in the western world. The princi-
pal distinctive feature of their faith is
what they call continuous revelation
In other words, the heads of the church
claim to be guided directly by messages
from God, but nowadays comparatively
little stress is laid on that point. Old
Brigham Young used it with tremen-

brought against the city of Chicago amounting
now in cases pending to several mllllons OF doI-

example a few months ago a colored woman

against the city, the warrant for the money
was cashed at a discount, but the Judge found
that not one cent of the money would ever
reach the bedridden plaintiff. as lawyers ana
others interested claimed the whole amount the

4 LETTER FROM 4 PRIEST.
Rev. Father Marquet Tells of Beginntng
 and Growth Of Boxers.

nnd Growth Of Boxers.
 New York, Aug. 5.-In a letter from
 the Rev. Father Marquet, the superior of the Roman Catholic missionaries in
 the province of Chi Lii, China, just re- ceived here, he says that at the begin
 ming of the Boxer outbreak the Chinese
 authorities sought to protect Chris tians. He tells how the native Chris tians fought against the Boxers and
 defeated them.
 "The Boxers say that, by the help of certain incantations," writes Father
 Marquet, "they become invulnerable as soon as the spirit to which they surren- der themselves has taken possession Of them. But whenever a Christian IS present or wherever a church stands, the spirit, they say, does not descend upon them, and so they cannot become invulnerable. In fact, not far from the Christian establishment of Tiech-kln- Ho (King Tcheou), three of those who had been initiated volunteered, after lHell lifCulldllOIS, lU DG iiiSa '.N' NAAS first of them was instantly killed, while
 the two others were wounded mortal ly.
 "It was market day, and the Boxers, afraid of losing their prestige betore the people, proclaimed loudly that this was the fault of the Christians. They spread the news that Neophytes had killed one of their adherents ana
 wounded the two others, and declared
 their intention of getting rid of the Christians, sacking their houses ana burning their churches
 Of the beginning of actual trouble, Father Marquet writes: With the eX- ception of three communities, Whlcn foreseeing what was about to happen, had armed themselves. and two others
 which were protected by Pagan village chiefs every Christian establishment al

big transports can approach the landing at Taku no nearer than twelve or four teen miles. Vessels drawing more than fifteen feet of water are forced to lie far out in the gulf. This necessitates the use of lighters for the transportation to the shore of both men and horses, mak- ing the debarkation of a considerable force task surrounded with innumer- able obstacles. Added to the actual difficulties are the discomfort and incon- venience placed upon the troops. Rains are almost incessant heavy fogs are prevalent and the water of the gulf Is exceedingly rough.

King Cheo was sacked At Leou-Pa- Tchoang, a Christian who wanted to save his house was stabbed; then an in- flammatory fluid was poured over his body and set on fire while he was still breathing. I few days later it was the turn of the Christian establishments at -Tcheng, Keao-Ho and Tong ko- ang. The district of Father Andlauer, the real hotbed of the Boxers, suffered most.
 First of all, the Christians were ask ed to aposta tize, but so far as is known, none did so, and every Christian conn munity with the exception of that Of ia-Schoang, whose members had taken flight. was devastated.
 "A part of the new Christian estab- lishments was subsequently destroyed. Father Heitzler was compelled to retire to Ou-Kaio The Boxers crossed the imperial canal. invaded his district and effected a junction with the Boxers Of Cham-Tong Though surprised, the courageous Christians defended them selves valinntly till all their ammuni- ton was used up, then, when there was no more powder left, they hurled bricks from the roof tops on the heads ot the bandits Thus they were able to pro- tect their homes, but were unable to save their church, which was burned. When informed of these events soldiers from Ou-Kiao started after the ban dits.
