Some time since the S%tar-Journal
Yentured the suggestion that the Chi
nese minister, WI Ting Fang, petted
and almost spoiled by the attention
given him In an amiable way to one
who, while an able man, has yet been
wined and dined rather as something
curious, was likely to put his foot into
1t before the question Of Chinese TX
clusiOn should be finally disposed Of.
In the course of his remarks before
the House immigration committee,
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation Of Labor, admin
istered n just and merited rebuke to
the Oriental diplomat who seems to
have conceived a wrong notion Of his
prerogatives, a notion that has been
fostered, to be true, by the character
Of the attention paid him. Mr.. Com
pers said: Il deny the right Of a rep
resentatlve Of a foreign government
addressing himself to an official of our
government and referring to American
citizens by name in such a manner,
particularly when such reference is of
a derogatOry character. The Chinese
minister in this country is treated with
every becoming courtesy, and he has
no right to make insinuations upon
American citizens. Upon behalf Of the
laboring men of this country, whom /
represent as president of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, l repeat that
l resent these remarks On the part of
the Chinese minister"

Salt Lake Ministers Say THAI Mormons
still Adhere to old System.

Salt Lake, Feb. 1.-The Ministerial
Alliance of Salt Lake has unanimously
adopted the report Of the committee Of
that organization appointed to investi-
gate and report on the alleged practice
and teaching Of polygamy by the Nor
mons at the present time This re
port is to be used as a petition for the
passage of a constitutional amendment
prohibiting polygamy, and viii he sent
to the judiciary committees of Con
gress.
The report sets forth that positive
evidence can be produced that .pOlyg.
amy is both practiced and taught by
the MormOns at present In open def
ance Of the laws Of the state. The
documents contains numerous quoted
statements alleged TO have been made
by Mormon leaders, in which the prac-
tice and teaching OF polygamy is ad-
vOcated and urged, regardless of man
made laws TO the contrary
The ministers assert that the evil
dence is in such shape that It could
be produced as evidence ia court If il
became necessary to do so. Besides
being sent to the judiciary committees
of Congress, the document, if is said, is
to be extensively circulated in the East
to further the campaign for the anti
polygamy amendment TO the e0nstitu-
ton.
The report, after quoting a number
of Mormon leaders in favor of the prac-
tice of pOlygamy, and giving the dates
of the same, dwells at ONE length on
the colonization schemes Of the church
which, according to the committees re
port, have a twO-fold purpose, viz, 10
enable the Mormons to practice polyg-
amy "where they will be free from the
scrutiny of their Gentle neighbors, -
and to secure the balance of political
power in the sparsely settled states OF
the West, thus blocking the way of
any proposed hostile national legisla-
ton.

Of the Mormon church, tonight editor

les, many of them grossly false, most
Of them purposely exaggerated and the
whole relating to a very small portion

the Mormon party of it,"

agony, and often death.

my only chance of life. My sister had been using Lydia e. Pink

and she strongly urged me to let the doctors go and ythe Com

Great Britain and Japan Agree to Pro-
teet China.
London, Feb. 11.-An important par
liamentary paper was issued tonight.
giving the terms of a practical ALI
ance between Great Britain and ia
pan for the preservation Of China and
Corea. The paper covers a dispatch
sent by Lord Lansdowne, secretary of
state for foreign affairs, January Both,
to the British minister 90 China, Sir
Claude Macdonald, and comprises a
signed copy Of the agreement.
In explanation the paper says the
agreement may be regarded as an out
come of the events of the past two
years. Throughout the Boxer troubles
Great Britain and Japan had been in
close and uninterrupted communica-
ton and actuated by similar views.
I'VE each desire" says Lord Lans-
dOwne, that the integrity and indie
pendence Of the Chinese empire should
be preserved, and that there should be
no disturbance of the territorial statu
quo, either in China or the adjoining
regions"
The discovery that their far eastern
policies were identical resulted in each
party to the agreement expressing its
desire that their conmO policy find
expression IN an International contract
OF binding validity.
