PROTESTS SEATING OF SHOOT.
Mr.. Leilich DecIare. That h Apo.-
tie il a PolyEami.t and now Has q
Plural Wife.

Washington February Ex-senator
Burrows, chairman of the senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections, today
presented to the senate a protest sign
ed by Rev. j. 7. Leilich, in the case Of
Senator-elect Reed Smoot, of Utah,
urging that Mr.. Smoot shall not be per-
mitted to take his seat in the senate.
Mr.. Leilich is in charge Of Methodist
missions in Utah and resides in Sat
AXE City. He is in Washington as
the representative of the ministers as
ISOLATION of Salt Lake. His statement
is sworn TO. Mr.. Leilich declares that
plural wife, although he deems it in
eXpedient to give the maiden name Of
the lady at this time. His charge on
this point is as follows.
That the said Reed Smoot 1s a po-
lygamist, and that since the ADMISSION
Of Utah into the Union OF states he,
although then and there having a legal
wife, married a plural wife in the state
of Utah, in violation of the laws and
compacts hereinbefore described and
since such plural or polygamous mar
riage, the said Reed Smoot has lived
and cohabited with both his legal wife
and his plural wife in the state Of
Utah and elsewhere as occasion offered,
and that the only record of such plural
marriage is the secret record mad ana
kept by the authorities OF the church
of Jesus Christ OF Latter Day Saints,
which secret record Is IN the exclusive
custody and control Of the first presi-
dency and the quorum of the twelve
apostles of the said church, Of which
the said Reed Smoot is one, and IS pc
yond the control or power of the pro-
testants. Your protestant respectfully
asks that the senate Of the United
States or it's appropriate committee,
compel the first presidency and the
quorum of the twelve apostles and The
said Reed SmoOt to produce such secret
record for the consideration Of the SEN
ate. Your protestant says hat he is
advised by counsel that it is inexpedi-
ent at this time to give further partic-
ulars concerning such plural marriage
and it's results, or the place in which 1t
was solemnized or the maiden name of
the plural wife"
Mr.. Leilich also asserts that PreSi-
dent Joseph F. Smith the president Of
the Mormon church, is living in open
polygamy and has had a child born to
him by his plural WIFE as late as 1873.
And also that president Lorenzo Snow
lived and died in the practice of polyg-
amy and polygamous cohabitation and
that his plural wife Minnie Jensen
Snow, bore him a child as late as the
winter of 1861"

MRS. FAIRBANKS RE-ELECTED{
Gets Unanimous Vote for President
General of the Daughters OF Amer
lean Revolution.

Washington, February 26.-Mrs. Cor
Inelia Cole Fairbanks, of Indiana. was
unanimously reelected p~resident-gen-
Ieral of the Daughters of the American
Revolution today. There was less ex-
lcitement han usual over the result of
the unequivocal declaration of Mrs.
donald MacLean. of New York, that
she would not permit her name to be
presented as a candidate for president
present incumbent.
Mrs. Warning. of South Carolina, took
the chair during the reading of the
minutes of yesterdays sessions, which
were approved after Il number of cor
rections and personal explanations.
Mrs. Fairbanks yielded the chair to
Mrs. George NJ. Sternburg and nomi-
nations were declared in order. Mrs.
ICharles H. Massury. of Massachusetts,
was recognized. She pleaded that the
present generation of women b. true
to their noble ancestry of revolutionary
days. She then formally presented the
name of Mrs. Fairbanks for recollection.
THE mention of the name was the sig
Inal for an outburst of applause that
ECHOED and re-echoed throughout the
man. MIS-. LIpplll, VI flDOOe ISldnu,
seconded the minati and the
speeches that followed were a sympos-
iium Of TO Mrs. fairbanks
from q number OF the state delegations.
Mrs. Lippitt moved to make the nolni-
nation unanimous. Mrs. Donald Nc
Lean vas recognized and spoke from
1.-THE platform. AS she seconded the
nomination of Mrs. Fairbanks there
was loud applause and ringing huzzas.
After a number of delegates had given
Voice to their views, the nomination
was declared unanimous by an aye
land nay vote.
! Then the question went back to the
congress on a technicality. Mrs. Nc
Lean. of New York, protested because
she had not been recognized IS the
first to second the nomination Of Mrs.
Fairbanks and there was a lively dis
icuSsiOn between her and the chair.
Mrs. S~ternberg.) Mrs. Mclean sug-
Igested, to avoid technicaiities. that tn"
Iru1es required the unanimous vote to be
cast by the recording secretary for the
congress. An aye and nay vote on the
instruction to the secretary to this eff
feet followed and a faint no" was
called by one of the delegates, which
was sufficient to defeat the instruc-
ltiOn.
Mrs. Mclean, however, appealed to
the unknown negative to withdraw
the vote in the interest of harmony and
on A rising vote there was no one
standing when the negative side was
lcalled. Mrs. Fairbanks was therefore
declared elected unanimously.
Nominations were then made for
Twice tresidents-generals among them
being Mrs. Dennis Pagan, of Florida.

From Now ON They VIII Block the
heel of Legislation as Far as
Possible.

Washington. February 26.-The house
following resolutions:
Resolved. That we shall resist by
all honorable means at our command
the unseating of COntestee Butler and
the seating of Contestant Wagner,
being convinced that the republican
maagers in the house have determined
to disregard the large majority of c.
600 votes by which Contestee Butler
was returned and dispose of the contest
arbitrarily in blind p~artisanship with
out reference to its merits and without
effort or desire to learn what they are,
and that by Way of emphasizing our
condemnation of persistent partisan
disregard of the rights of the minority
and this Wanton outrage, lacking even
n sorry Excuse of pretended partisan
necessity, and to prevent the passage
of vicious measures which there is
every reason for believing the majority
nave planned to rush through the house
in the confusion incident to the ending
of the final session of al expiring on
greSS, we pledge ourselves to stand to-
gether in support of the demand for the
presence of a quorum at all times. for
the transaction of business and a re-
corded yea and nay vote upon every
thing upon which the house shall act
UP to the moment of final adjourn
ment."
The caucus was attended by nearly
all the democratic representatives in
the city and the resolution was unani-
mOusly agreed to after a general dis
cussiOn. 1t is the opinion of the min
GRITTY that the republicans will not be
able to accomplish more than to pass
the appropriation bills before adjourn
ment.

G y Larson, proprietor OF an employ
ment agency on First South and Com
merCial street, was arrested yesterday
afternoon by Officer Henry Johnston for
assault and battery. According to the
statement of the policeman, Larson has
been iabOring under the deluSiOn that he
has a. divine right to do Just about as he
pleases in that section OF the city Yes
terdaE he had some words with Jacob
Smith, a laborer, and put him out of his
establishment Not content with doing
this. he rushed at the latter as he was
standing on the pavement and pushed
him out into the street, at the same time
using some language that is not found in
the Good Book Ofdcer Johnston, who
had witnessed the trouble took the -belifg-
erent Larson to the station where he was
charged with battery As Johnson led
the man away cheer after cheer rang out
