FORMER CHIEFS
PattersOn's EulOgy of Cleve-
land and Mckinley Is Ap-
plauded in the House

WASHINGTON, March IA. The
House to-day resumed consideration of
the postoffice appropriation bill in COM
mittee Of the whole. Moon of Tennes-
see, the ranking minority member of
the Postoffice Committee, reviewed the
action of the committee in bringing
the report before the House, and said
the. committee was not authorized to
sit in judgment and could not have
made any change in the report as sub
mitted TO the committee.
The House applauded a political eu-
logy Of President Cleveland by Pat
terson of Tennessee and a moment
later a eulogy Of the late President
Mckinley, also by Patterson. Cleve-
land, he said, had not hesitated to lis
ten to political and ether advice from
the South and Mckinley had done
much to heal the breach between the
North and the South.
Although President Cleveland made
mistakes" declared Patterson, "he GER
tainly did not make them against the
interests of the South, and whatever
mistakes he made were like specks on
the sun IOllipdltd ~ HIS SlNob NhoA-
acter, his true Americanism and his
unblemished honor"
The blight of the fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution had reversed
the previous great record of the South
in producing Presidents but Patterson
expressed the belief that Democratic
nominee from the South would not lose
a single electoral vote to the party.
He mentioned John G. Carlisle, Rep
resentative Williams and Senator
Bailey as possible candidates.
Crumpacker (R) Of Indiana read
letter from F. II. Cunningham, presi-
dent of the National Letter Carriers
Association, urging rural delivery let
ter carriers to telegraph to their MEM
bers of Congress to vote to increase
the salaries of the rural free delivery
carriers. Crumpacker said that he was
not opposed to increasing the salaries
of carriers, but he believed this a full
fillment of the prophecy of ex-Repre-
sentative Loud that these carriers
would organize a powerful machine and
dictate TO Congress.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SALT LAKE, Utah, March 14.-With
remarkable family reunion. Joseph F.
Smith. president of the Mormon
church. was welcomed home to-day on
his return from the Smoot inquiry in
Washington. His five wives were not
awaited his coming at the famous Bee
Hive house. where also, some thirty
two of his children had gathered to re-
ceive him. President Smith kissed Mrs
Julia Smith warmly and embraced
Mrs. Edna Sampson Smith, a sister of
Julia. Then he greeted his other
wives fondly and kissed few of the
younger children.
For about three hours there was a
private family gathering in the Bee
Hive house, from which all but the i'm
mediate members of the Presidents five
families were excluded. Afterward the
wives separated, going to their various
homes. where they were later visited by
President Smith, who paid formal call
to each.
In the meantime the quorum of the
twelve apostles (all that are present in
Salt Lake, and the council of seventies
were awaiting the President on import
ant business, the nature of which
lis kept secret.
Smith, in an interview tonight, said
that his visit to the national capital
had been productive of great pleasure
He said the Senators were lot of good
fellows and that the press of Washing
ton had treated him fairly. He declined
to discuss the merits of the Smoot case,
but said that the people of the country
had been already sufficiently informed
on the subject.
Smith said that all his testimony on
the witness stand had been given with
out regard to how it might affect the
chances of the Senator from Utah and
declared that all he had stated he
would reiterate under any circum-
stances.

unexpected formation of a new polit-
ical party to oppose the Mormons in
political affairs.
Non -MOrmons. who are indignant at
the testimony of President Smith and
the admissions made before the Smoot
investigating committee, met here to-
day with the avowed purpose of form
ing new party. A committee Of twen-
ty-f1ve citizens was appointed to frame
plan of political action, and a mass
meeting will be held next week to ratify
the action and perfect organization. A
protest against the statements of Presi-
dent Smith was unanimously adopted
and was at once forwarded to Chair
man Burrows of the investigating COM
mittee, and copies will be circulated for
further signatures in Utah and adjoin-
ing States.
The resolutions declare that the law
abiding citizens repudiate emphaticaIly
the statement of President Smith that
his offense of living in open polygamy
is condoned; that, on the contrary, the
disclosures made by him at Washing
ton were nowhere received with greater
amazement, Indignation and disgust
than in Utah; that it has been hereto
fore impossible to get at the real facts
of the situation owing to the wall of
secrecy with which the polygamists
have surrounded themselves and their
constant practice of falling to comply
with the law in reporting births The
protest concludes with the demand that
law breaking in Utah be brought to an
end and that the State keep its pledge
to the United States.

The hearings on this bill have been
second only in public interest during
the past week to the Mormon inquiry
on the Senate side of the Capitol. The
committee room there has been packed
daily, the curious being admitted to

sational testimony was followed with
the liveliest interest and the shock
with which the throng of women listen
ers heard the sturdy old apostle admit
the possession of many wives, all living
apd bearing children, was tempered
with admiration as they followed the
confession by a declaration of read

Senator Hoar of Apostle Lyman-a

"Oh, yes, to be sure said he.
