IF R. L. Carly wants to go over
to the Republicans for the sake of
Office, he has a right to do so; but
how he hopes to justify his action
by calling himself "a lifelong
Democrat" is beyond me-. If Jim
Austin didn't consider himself in
honor bound to accept the result
of the primary to which he sub
mitted his claims, how al he 'ex-
pect the action of the Miller-M Null
lin-Gay junto to bind Republicans
to his support? Are not the intel
lects and political consciences of
both these gentlemen flambergast-
ed, as it were?

MORGAN WILL FIGHT.
Aims to Control and Expand ths Erie
and Be Independent of the
Pennsylvania,

Chicago, Dec 19.-The acquisition OF the
Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton-Perei
Marquette system by the Erie Is believed
to be a part of j. p. Morgan's plan to-
dominate more thoroughly the steel situa-s
ton for the United States Steel corpora
ton, and to prevent Rockefeller securing
control of American railways.
The Eric long has wanted more vital
connection with the Cincinnati, Hamilton
and Dayton, with which it has had close
traffic relations for years. The steel COR
poratlon practically has control of the
Erie, reaching all its mills and furnaces
supplying an outlet to the west and to the
seaboard without having to ask Sfayors
from any railroad.
The bold strike of Morgan, 1t is feared,
will force a crisis in both the steel and
the railroad situation. 1t Is a blow
against the Pennsylvania Steel company,
and the Vanderblts, owning Cambria
steel
The steel trusts short lines will be con-
nected with the Erie, and with the Gin
cinnnti, Hamilton and Dayton-Pere Mac
quette, and some other roads that soon
may be acquired, will form chain that
will weld together the Steel companyss
mines and mills.
The Toledo, st. Louis and Western IS
not included in the purchase by the Erie.
| Negotiations by interests representing the
| Dayton road were begun two or three
| months ago, but an understanding cotzlc
not be reached. 1t is probable, however
that the Erie will resume negotiations

THE COURT INQUIRY.
Witness Declares the Church Officially
Has Not Countenanced Plural
Marriaoee

Washington, Dec. 21.-Apostle John
Henry Smith Of the Mormon church
was recalled today in the Smoot inves-
tigation Smith said he had known A.
F. Mcdonald (who died during the
present Year, who was charged by one
witness with having performed q plural
marriage in Mexico.
ct had come to the attention Of
President Lorenzo Snow that McDon-
aid had been exercising the right to
marry or seal persons in plural mar
riages," said the witness. Snow in
structed me to call Mcdonald to &C
count. 1 went to Mexico, but did not
learn that any plural marriages had
been performed. I never have heard
of any president of the church author
izing plural marriages since the mani
festo."
A de9ial was made by the witness
that the Mormon church owned a ma
jority of the stock in the sugar manu-
factories of Idaho. He admitted taking
an active part in bringing about the
repeal of the territorial test oaths,
which practically excluded Idaho Nor
mons from voting.
Senator Dubois asked Smith if an
Apostle could take a plural wife now
and retain his standing. Witness said
if the fact of the plural marriage should
be Demonstrated In the courts the apos-
tie contracting such marriage would
lose his standing.

TIE JAPs MOVING FORWARD.
A Big Battle Is Believed to Be Near at
Shake River.

London, Dec. IA forward move
ment of the Japanese right wing has
been reported in todays dispatches
from Toxic, and it is believed that this
foreshadoWS II general engagement, as
sufficient time has now elapsed since
the success of General Nogi's operations
at Port Arthur to make it reasonably
certain that the japanese would cap
ture the fortress before very long, to
permit of reinforcementS from Nogi's
army to have reached Field Marshal
Oyama. 1t is generally believed that
the lack of men is all that kept the lat
ter from giving battle during the last
month or so, when the aggressiveness
| of the Russians became SO threatening
that it was believed q battle could not
be avoided.
According TO a st. Petersburg report,
the provisioning Of his present army
has become q serious problem with
Kuropatkin and keeping this in view
it is difficult to see how the Russians
can make good their boast of being able
to put an army Of 100000 in the field be-
fore the end Of the year. Unless the ST.
berian railroad could be doube-tracked
by that time it is extremely improbable
that the Russians will be able to ma
terially add to their present force and
| If Oyama is prepared, as he is believed
to be, to make a general attack, it is
the belief of military experts that he
has every chance of success.

New York, Dec. 22.-Dr Lyman Alb

he announced his new and heterodoX

Mon in New York. The good doctor, as
u powerful minister and later as editor
of the Outlook, has been a powerful

pronouncement of views has gone so
far as to stir many even of his liberal
friends and admirers. Especially is
there criticism of making such an ut

WANT MORE POWER.
Tho Interstate Commerce Commission
Shows in Report Why 1t Is


Washington, Dec. 2l-The report of
the interstate commerce commission
was made public today 1t discusses at
length the regulations of tariff rates
and the amending legislation deemed
necessary to the enforcement of the
statutes. The report says in substance
that successful regulation of rates de-
ponds upon the effective publication
and observance of rates and the cOlrec-
ton, on complaint, of established rates.
Much of the language of President
Roosevelt on this subject in his annual
message to congress is quoted by the
report to show that the commission
should have it's powers extended in this
direction.
The report says during the fiscal year
1904, 1896 employees and S,O77 pas
sengers were injured; 1867 employees
and AL passengers We're killed on rail
roads The increase in the number of
deaths Of passengers is G4la per cent.
over 1908. The commission emphasizes
it's former recommendation for the
adoption of the block" system on all
roads, with a view of preventing acct
dents.
Average gross earnings of the rail-
roads for 1904 We're $9110 per mile of
line. an increase of $152 over 1903; oD-
Grating expense averaged 5000 per
mile, or $3.50 more t. IN last year.
