THE CASE OF REED sMooT.
Inquiry Before the Senate Invsstiga-

Concerning Mormonism.

Washingt, n, March 1.-THE Reed
Smoot hearing yesterday brought out
the fact that the Mormon church insists
on controlling the votes Of its members
Andrew Jensen, assistant historian Of
the Mormon church, testified that he had
never known of a prosecution OF q polyg-
amist who continued to cohabit with
plural wives he had married prior to the
manifesto of 1890.
Washington, March 1.-THE only
witness on the stand yesterday in the

Mormon church.
Washington, March 14.-That Reed
Smoot could not have been elected to the
United States senate without having first
been chosen as an apostle of tho Mormon
church and that after he was so chosen
he could not have been defeated, was as
serted by Judge Ogden EIiles, assistant
United States attorney from 1886 to 1880
and later judge Of the district court Of
Utah, who was witness Saturday in the
Smoot case before the senate committee
on privileges and elections. The COM
mittee adjourned subject to the call Of

RIVERS OVER THEIR BANKS.
Destroy Immense Amount Of Property
and Make Many Persons Home
less in Pennsylvania.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 1.-THE
city Of Wilkesbarre and the Wyoming
valley have suffered immense loss by
floods. At Plymouth the entire bust
ness section of the town was under wa.
ter. Only few business houses es.
capped the flood and as a result the
merchants have lost thousands Of dol
lars worth of goods.
At Middletown between 700 and 800
houses were surrounded and could only
be reached by entering the second-story
windows, and many houses were en-
tirely ruined.
Summing up the situation in brief,
over 100000 worth of property has
been destroyed in the Wyoming valley
and over 1000 families rendered home
less. Though the river was falling at
Wilkesbarre towns in the vicinity of
Bloomsbury were experiencing the
worst flood in their history. Five spans
of the great steel bridge erected by the
state at Catawissa, were swept from
their piers and carried 400 yards by
the ice. There was almost complete
suspension of mining throughout the
valley, the water flowing into the COL
lieries faster than it could be pumped
out.

clamation Of neutrality in the pending

to abEtain from either action or speech
which can legitimately cause irritation
to either Of the combatants. The govern
ment Of the Cnited States represents the
people Of the United States not only in
the sincerity with which It is endeavoring
to keep the scales Of neutrality exact and
even. but in the sincerity with which 1t
deplores the breaking out Of the present
war, and hopes that it will end at the
earliest possible moment and with the
smallest possible loss to those engaged.

New York, March 12.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
more seasonable weather has brought
increased activity in business, normal
conditions existing for the first time

evidence of an effort to recover lost
ground and prepare for large spring
trade. Collections are also improving

the markets for building materials and
increasing real estate transfers There
has been great damage from floods, al

Vhe total area of California is 1885,
800 square miles. The Japanese
islands cover not quite the same
amount of space. The population Of
California is not quite 100000. ia

other words, 80 times as many people
are living in the same space in Japan
as in California. II the whole United
States was as thickly populated as is

UNDER MILITARY CONTROL.
Normal Conditions Have Been Re-

Three Days Rioting.

Springfield, O., March 1.-THE race
disturbances which have terrorized the
town for the last three days as the re-
suit of the murder of Patrolman Coils
and the subsequent lynching of the ne
gro Dixon, who shot Coils, are held well
in check by the 10 companies of state
militia, and the authorities are OF the
opinion that no more troops will be
needed to control the situation. Both
Chief of Police O'Brien and Sheriff
Routzahn believe, however, that 1t
would be a mistake to materially de-
crease the number Of troops now on
hand.
Springfield, O., March 12.-After an
other quiet night and every indication
of order yesterday, the withdrawal Of
part of the troops has begun. The
troops will return to their homes

Thibet is a wonderful country and
a strange people. Think of tract Of
land where hot springs abound, round
which the deposits are of such rain
bow tints as blue, purple, green, red
and yellow. It is easy to imagine that
the landscape effects Of such coloring
are wondrous. The social customs of
the people are scarcely less astound-
ing. Polygamy is common where the
men are rich enough, for wives seem
to be a question of wealth. When
poverty renders it necessary or ex'
pedient several men will have one wife
in common.

combatants to anything in the nature OF
an injury or slight by outsiders. Too
often combatants make conflicting
claims to the duties and obligations OF
neutrals, so that even when discharging
these duties and obligations with scrupu-
lous care it is difficult to avoid giving Of
Tense to one or the other party. To- such
unavoidable causes of offense, due to the
performance of national duty, there must
not be added any avoidable causes.
Friendly with All.
ut is always unfortunate to bring old
world antipathies land jealousies into
our life, or by speech or conduct to ex-
cite anger and resentment toward our
nation in friendly foreign lands. But
in a government emplaye, whose official
position makes him in some sense the
representative of the people. the mischief
of such action is greatly increased. A
strong and 1self-confident nation should
be peculiarly careful not only OF the
rights but of the susceptibilities of its
neighbors, and nowadays all Of the
nations of the world are neighbors one
to the other. Courtesy, moderation, and
self-restraint should mark international,
no less than private, intercourse.
"All the officials of the government
civil, military and naval-are expected
so to carry themselves both in act and
in deed as to give no cause for just Of
Tense to the people of any foreign and
friendly power, and with all mankind we
are now in friendship.
