Five members of the committee, Sem

Foraker and Dubois, were present.
The room was filled with spectators,
80 per cent being women.
Dr. X. NJ. Buckley, Methodist, edi-
tor of the New York Christian Advo-
cate, was the first witness, and told
of visit to Utah 25 years ago, when
he saw Brigham Young and heard a
sermon on Mormonism by Austin
Pratt and also interviewed George
Smith, one of the directors of the
church. He was then considered a
possible convert. He went again in
1891 and again last June. He at
tended services in the tabernacle both
times. The witness said he made ac-
curate reports for his paper, includ-
ing speeches made at a Joint young
mems and young woman's associa-
tion meeting which he attended last
June. The witness then read from the
files of his paper.
The witness said President Smith
spoke on the responsibilities Of mar
riage. Smith was quoted by the wit
ness as saying he could not give up
any of his wives, and that it meant
eternal damnation to abandon the
multiplicity of wives. The witness
said he made inquiries concerning
Smoot and everywhere found Smoot

Lake. testified. He said marriages
were performed with dead persons In
the endowment house and that the
church granted divorce and legal mar
riages until the courts acted. Plural
marriages are not recognized by the
courts and therefore the church does
not consult the courts in such cases.

SHAWNUT PASSENGERS TELL
STORIES OF HARD VOYAGE

After an eventful trip of AZ days,
the Boston Steamship company's big
steamship Shawmut reached port at
o'clock last night. According to
khe reports made by the passengers,
the trip was one succession of de-
lays and accidents. Three Japanese
firemen were drowned, several crews
of stokers were released and many
deserted, quarreling among the Off
GERS occurred frequently, and general
chaos at times had full swing ON the
boat.
A detailed account of the trip was
given to The Times by a well known
naval officer. who was one of the
passengers from Manila. He said:
me left Manila on May IS with
every assurance that we would have
q pleasant voyage, but we were all
sadly disappointed. AT quarantine
station we met out first delay. When
opposite Corregidor island we again
had to lay to for 1S hours, this time
on account of the breaking of the
pumps. In the China sea one of the
engines gave out and steam could
not be kept up. Considerable trou-
BILE was being had with the Chinese
firemen, who were unable to keep up
steam. 1t took the boat five days
to run from Manila to Hongkong,
landing there on the 23d of May.
'At HOngkong the Shawmut was
placed in drydock and for about a
week repairing of her boilers and
machinery was proceeded with.
after new stokers had been Sc
cured and a supply of coal was taken
on, we steamed very slowly toward
Nagasaki Much trouble was had in
keeping up steam, and the firemen
were on the verge of refusing TO
work longer when Nagasaki was
reached Here a new crew of Jap

anese fireman was signed after much
trouble, and a new lot of coal was
secured. Up to this time poor coal
had been given as the excuse for
the numerous delays, but after leav-
ing Nagasaki incompetent firemen
was given as the cause We finally
landed at Kobe on June s. In 10
hours after leaving that port the
boat had covered a distance of 10l
miles, and it took two days and a
half to run to Yokohama.
THE passengers were by this time
very dissatisfied, and many of them
demanded that a part of the money
paid for their tickets be refunded,
in which case they would have en-
gagged berths on another boat. This
was refused, however, and we had
to make the best of it. Another crew
of firemen was placed in fire-room
and the trip was resumed. We left
Yokohama at o'clock in the after
noon of June 10. The engines now
began to cause delays, and prevented
us from making any kind of time,
though the water was smooth and
everything favorable for speed. We
encountered no storms and had no
rough weather"
Among the passengers who came
in on the Shawmut were the follow
ing: Pay Director Stephen Rand, U.
S. n, and wife; ]. S. Leech, chief of
bureau of public printing of the Phil
ippines; S. P. Sullivan, manager of
f. s. Brown Lumber company of
Manila; M. W. Creagh, of the Pacific
& Oriental Trading company of
Manila; r. McDougalI, attorney, of
the Philippines; G. A. McDermoth
and wife of Hongkong, and E. H.
Jones, of Tacoma, who has been a
missionary at Gen Dai for the past
20 years.
