Salt Lake. Utah. March 12.-Yester-
day. three days before the Legislature
comes TO a close. the House. by vote
of % to Il, and after an exciting de-
bate in which more than a dozen men,
bers participated. passed the Evans
Senate bill amending thaS portion Of
the revised statutes Of Utah, relating
10 prosecutions for adultery. Having
passed the Senate last week by vote
OF IL to 4. the document now goes to
the governor for his signature.
The bill, which was introduced by
Senator y. j. Evans of Juab county,
has caused more discussion and more
feeling than any measure introduced at
the present session of the Legislature.
Its text is as follows:
Every person who has reason to be-
lieve that crime or public offense has
been committed. may make complaint
against such person before some mag
istrate having authority to make in
quiry of same: provided that no prose-
cution for adultery shall he commenced
except on complaint of the husband or
wife or relative of the accused within
the first degree of consanguinity. or of
the person with whom the unlawful
act is alleged to have been committed,
or of the father or mother of said per.
son. and no prosecution for unlawful
cohabtation shall be commenced ex-
cept on complains; of the wife or alleg-
ed plural wife of the accused; that this

In answer to Il request for state
ment as to the object Of the bill. Sena-
tor Evans. its author. furnished the AS
sociated Press the following:
My object in presenting this bill
was twO-fOld. In the first place II was
intended to keep down public agitation
by taking away from certain agitators
the opportunity to arouse periodic fu-
directly against Utah. and for that rea-
son its primary purpose was for the
general good of the state. l believe
that general law upon our statute
books, in conformity with the laws of
Michigan. Minnesota. Iowa. Oregon
and North Dakota, and even more lib
eral laws, would create much less agi-
tation throughout the country than the
practice which has heretofore been re-
sorted Of arreSting every few weeks

cohabitation and having the arrest an

try which can be induced to take up

LEGAL INSTRUCTIONS TO THE
GUGGENHEIM SALE REMOVED

Jersey City. n. j.. March 12.-In
chancery chambers yesterday Vice
Chancellor Stevens denied the appllca-
ton to make permanent the injunction
restraining the stockholders of the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany from increasing the capital stock
of that company from SGo.OD,Ooo to
S10O,OO0.O0O and restraining the direc-
tors from purchasing the plant Of NJ.
Guggenheim Sons in Mexico.
The chancellor in his opinion said the
courts could act only where there was
a question of fraud.
The vice chancellor read his decision.
The main point discussed by him was
whether the Guggenheim property was
worth the price it was proposed to pay
for it. The vice chancellor concluded
that nothing had been shown that
would warrant the issue Of perma-
nent injunction restraining the Ameri-
can Smelling and Refining Company
from purchasing the property. He said

Senator Bucslln's BILL

In the House on the Sth instant the
special features of the day We're the
discussion on constitutional amend

opposed with spirit. The author Of
the bill was present. Mr.. Lubers had
never become convinced that the sys-

In New Zealand, where its success Is
cited, the revenue derived from that
source was but six or seven per cent.
of the total. That country had excise
and other duties which could not be
used by a state or county. If the sys-
TEN were adopted here the tax on land
must be increased many fold, because
no such excise and other duties could
be used to make up the necessary rev.
enue. He WAS not certain he would
vote against it now. but he gave notice
that unless he received more light he
would oppose it on third reading.
Mr.. Mclean was opposed to the piin-
ciple and would vote against it. Mr..
Meredith said he should not discuss
the merits of the system. This bill
proposes to submit to the people the
question whether the constitution shall
be amended so that any county may
try it or not. He believed in home
rule. and even II opposed to adoption
of the system would support this bill

ENGLAND REFLECTS
AMENDED TREATY

Washington. March 1.-THE long
expected answer from the British gov
ernment to the State Departments
communication reciting the action of
the Senate upon the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. was returned yesterday. Lord
Pauncefote, the British ambassador,
had already acquainted Secretary Hay
with the fact thnd he had received a
communication from his government
on the subject and it had been In his
possession for several days. Secretary
Has has acquired general knowl-
edge OF the character Of the British re-
sponse.
The British answer is long. as such
documents go, and would make about
two newspaper columns. The tone
Of the reply Is distinctly friendly
throughout, particularly so in the con-
Guiding assurances of good will and
desire to cooperate in the realization
OF the undertaking. Although the
text Is withheld. it is understood that
the answer takes up the three amend
ments made by the Senate and pre-
sents the difficulties in the way of as
senting to them. AS to the amend
ment which struck out all that clause
of the treaty inviting other maritime
nations to concur in the neutralizing
Of the canal. the British view is that
while the United States and Great
Britain can bind themselves by treaty
to neutralize the canal, they cannot
make this action binding on all other
governments, unless these govern
ments agree.
AS to the entire abrogation Of the
Clayton-B -Bulwer treaty as provided by
one Of the Senate amendments 1t ap-
