ulluSISldllu BIG uA'
Senator Dubois-Judge Powers, what
do you regard the chief exhibition OF
church domination over political affairs
that has come to your notice?
1T occurred ct the April, 1896, con-
ference, when the political rule-that is,
the manifesto against Mormons enter
ing politics without consent of the
church authorities-was adopted. This
rule was adopted without dissenting
vote, and at the same conference Mo-
ses Thatcher was dropped from the
rolls as an apostle and no explanation
of any character was made"
Senator McComas-How do the
young men in the Mormon Church re-
gard the practice of polygamy?
IT think the young Mormon men, ano
women, too. are opposed to the prac-
tice-strongly opposed-although | con-
fess that 1 can not understand the
power the church is able to exert over
them. 1 believe, however, that if the
church authorities should attempt tt
re-establish polygamy, by revelation oi
otherwise, there would be trouble"

DIFFERENCE In VIEWS.

In regard to the continuation Of po-
lygamous cohabitation Judge Powers
said that some look upon this condi-
ton with tolerance and others witt
open hostility.
Several Senators engaged in the dis
cussion of the future of polygamy an6
Judge Powers said he believed the
practice could not last any more than
could slavery. Continuing he said:
but 1 don't regard polygamy as the
worst feature of the Mormon religion.
What 1 object to most is its un-Ameri-
can domination by the hierarchy of the
people of that belief. The belief in the
right of the church authorities to pre-
scribe rules. the belief that the head
of the church is inspired and inter
ference of the church in political and
commercial affairs"

WOLVES PURSUE FLYING STAGE.
Hungry Brutes Fought Off BY Free
Use of Revolvers.

/ TWO HARBORS, Mimi, Dec. 10
With a hungry pack of wolves Jumping
upon the vehicle in an endeavor to
secure a deer carcass, swapping at the
horses necks and threatening the oc-
cupants in broad daylight, the driver
and passengers on the stage had
thrilling adventure when driving from
Grand Marais to this village.
The wolves kept up their chase for
four hours the first day, until house
was reached, where the passengers put
IN for the night The carcass of the
deer was being conveyed from Grand
Marais. and the wolves, attracted by
the scent of fresh blood, gathered in
a pack about o'clock in the after
noon and kept close to the stage uhtl
o'clock in the evening, When the
stopping place was reached. FROM
time to time the wolves would attempt
to spring upon the wagon, but were re-
PEELED with revolvers. Several times
the animals attempted to spring upon
the horses. but were beaten OH.
Wolves are causing more trouple
this year than for many past. 1t Is
said they are more numerous ana are
holder than usual. having even al
tackled men. The only explanation is
that fewer deer than usual nave peeh
killed in the woods tbs season py
hunters who desire only the heads UT
horns as trophies, and leave the car
casses i'm the wilds. This is accounted
for not by a more humane attitude Oh
Tho hunters but because less opportu-
nitv was afforded to kill big game.

ASSISTANCE FOR AMERICAN
LINES TO SOUTH AMERICAN
AND ORIENT PROJECTED.
1t Will Include Substantial Grants to
the Vessels Carrying Mails to
New Ports.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia new
plan for the encouragement of the
American merchant marine will be
presented shortly in congress. 1t bears
no very close resemblance to the Han
Frye subsidy bill, inasmuch as the
aid furnished is applied to American
and Oriental lines. 1t will include
grants to vessels for carrying mails to
new ports, chiefly South American,
and also ala to freight lines to South
America and Oriental points.
The amount utilized for this purpose
is less than two thirds that provided
for by the Hanna bill, is taken out of
existing revenues, and requires no di-
rect appropriation-rath a diversion
of funds already available. &'#i
1t is understood that the assistance
offered to encourage freight lines will
be based upon tonnage. 1t is likely,
also. that a provision will be made for
bonuses for the enrolment of able sea-
men in the merchant marine service,
who. by reason of the bonus. becomes
eligible for transfer to the navy IN
emergency.

TITLE TO 10000 ACRES SETTLED
Weyerhaeuser Loses Suit Against
Detroit Man.

DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 19.-The de-
court in the case of Humbird & Weyer-
haeuser VS.. w. A. Avery and others
about 500 persons of Duluth and vicin-
ity, including settlers. purchasers and
cases pending in the state courts that
will probably be determined by the
decision handed down by Justice Har-
Ian.
The decision in favor of Avery and
others relates to land in Lake and ST.
Louis counties, and which is valuable
for it's timber. Waldo A. Avery of De-
troit is claimant to 1000 acres of the
land, and he becomes the owner of it
under the decision of the United States
court, which affirms the decision Of
Judge Lochren of the United States
circuit court. s....- ..r ...s
1t is said that this suit and the two
state court suits involve in the aggre-
gate 10000 acres of land lying east of
Duluth, in Minnesota, valued a. not
less than $4,000, 900 The case in the
United States supreme court was
argued a year ago last October. There
were altogether fifty-five defendants.
The decision is supposed to settle def
initely the title to the 100000 acres of
land.
The case has been before the pub
lie one way and another for three
years In that time it has passed
through the United States circuit
court, the circuit court of appeals. and
now. the United States supreme court
part of the Northern Pacific grant,
and the litigation arose over points
at one time in controversy as to
whether Duluth or Ashland was the
eastern terminal of that road.
Forty-seven interake ships will
spend the winter in the Duluth u-

settled for the winter except three
boats to arrive from the lower lake,
the Schuykill with merchandise, the
Sahara with coal, and the Crescent
CITY light, from Two HarbOrs, where
she is now discharging coal.

GRAVES WOULD HELP MEN.
Proposes Compensation for Injuries to
Employees, No Matter Whose Fault.

SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. 19.-State
Senator Will G. Graves of Spokane
will introduce number of bills in the
coming session of the Legislature and
prompt attention from railroad and
other corporations.
My workmen's compensation act is
to have some compensation to en-
ployes who are injured or killed and
who are entitled to no compensation
under the existing rules of law, said
Mr.. Graves in an Interview Whether
or not the employer is negligent, the
injured person, under the proposed
bill, shall have compensation, except
he be injured by his own wilful act,
as would be the case where a man
permits himself to be injured for the
sake of securing this compensation
Has Limit of $4,000.
The bill will be drawn and made
to apply to what are known as the
more hazardous employments, such as
factories, mills, transportation SER
vice and the like.
The bill will provide that any per-
son so employed who shall be injured
under such circumstances as would
give him no right to recover under the
INF a CHI h
abled certain ratio of his wages, the
amount in no case to exceed SO
week.
If the employe is killed and leaves
persons dependent upon him these per-
sons shall have the right to recover
from the employer an amount equal
to the employees earnings or the three
years next preceding the date of his
injury, the amount in no case to ex-
coed $4,000
Where a workman is injured under
such circumstances as would now
make the employer liable, this new law
would not apply. In other words.
where a man is injured while engaged
in any hazardous employment. even
when the employer is not negligent. he
shall be entitled to compensation Of
this kind.
Favored in Foreign Countries.
Laws of this kind are in force in

but knows that he must proceed eau
tiously and has not yet any plan defa-
nifty fixed in his mind.
He is discussing the matter with
Secretary Morton, of the navy depart-
ment, who has been a railroad man all
his life, and is learning much about
the railroad business from Mr.. Morton.
The president is not at all confident
that he will be able to get any legis-
lation from the present congress, but
he has decided to go after it, and if he
is not successful to continue his eff
fort with the fifty-ninth congress
which meets year from now.
EIkns Has : Plan.
Senator Elkins, chairman of the in
terstate commerce committee, has a
plan for carrying out the ideas OF the
president There will be a meeting of
the committee Friday when Mr.. Elk
ms will submit his plan.
1t is proposed by Senator Elkins to
create a judicial tribunal, to be known
/ -, i,,tA
will comprise nine members, one for
each judicial circuit. This court shall
have full Jurisdiction over railroad
and steamboat rates. Each member
of the court shall be appointed for life,
and receive ample compensation.
1t is intended to make this tribunal
approximate in dignity to the supreme
court, after which it is modelled. Each
judge will sit and hear complaints
against rates in his own circuit. The
other eight judges will hear appeals
| from the opinion of the sitting judge.
| thus constituting an appellate branch
of the same court. In the event of a
| further appeal being necessary it will
come to the United States supreme
court. .. aj ..3 ...

satisfactory manner. He believes it
would prove equally successful in this
country.
"The subject of controlling railroad
and steamboat rates. said Senator
Elkins, SIS one of the most important
now confronting the American people.
In this question there are five thou
sand million dollars worth of property
involved. Whatever action is taken
must be calm and deliberate. There
must be no undue haste. The necessi-
