The MormonS.

at is the will of the Lord that you
vote the republican ticket this time"
Such said a witness in the SmOOt in
quiry yesterday, was an admonition Civ
en- out by Mormon apostles on a certain
occasion when, he said, the church was
exercising its prerogative of controlling
political action in Utah.
This testimony was part of the story
related before the Senate committee on
privileges and elections by E. B. Critch-
low, un attorney from Salt Lake City,
one of the counsel for the protestants
against Smoot. 1t was evoked during his
narrative of incidents attendant upon,
the candidacy of Moses Thatcher for the
United States Senate. The latter had per-
sisted in his candidacy, despite the adj
mOnitiOn of the quorum of apostles that
he withdraw.
In response to an inquiry in regard to
to Mr.. Thatcher running for the Ssnate
on a platform not in harmony with the
church Mr.. Critchlow spoke Of the inhu-
ence of apostles giving as an illustration
that the apostles gave out the instruction
that sit is the will of the Lord that you
vote the republican ticket this time"
Mr.. Critchlow said the democrats pro-
tested against the interference by the
church in such manner.

execution of a Murderer.

st. Joseph, No., Mar. 1l.-Mark
Dunn was hanged at 1910 o'clock this
morning. Dunn, who was 40 years old
and a painter by trade, murdered Alfred
Fenton, farmer, at Rushville, Mo-,
July 20, 1902, after the men quarreled
at a dance. Dunn pleaded insanity.
Convicted, he appealed to the supreme
Court which confirmed the death sem
tence. Two reprieves postponed the
execution until today. Last Monday
Dunn escaped from the st. Joseph Jail,
overpowering one of the jailers and over
awning two others. During his three
days fight across the country pneu-
monia overcame him and caused his cap
ture Wednesday. He escaped a second
time and was recaptured Thursday so
weak that the physicians predicted he
would die natural death if he was not
executed. Governor Dockery thought the
fear of death was largely responsible for
Dunn's collapse, and declined to interfere.
Dunn was deliriOus from fever incidental
to pneumonia. His last words were
"My life has been sworn away by my
enemies" The scene at the scafF0ld
was pitiful. The condemned man had
to be assisted up the steps and supported
as he stood on the trap. He was dazed
and bewildered. Physical rather than
moral weakness was the cause of any
lack of courage he may have betrayed.
Sheriff Martin Spencer, who pulled the
trap, did so only after telephoning Gov
ernor Dockery asking if he should pro-

The Senate yesterday passed num-
Der of bills relating to Alaska, but failed
to act upon the measure authorizing the
election of a delegate to Congress from
that Territory. Mr.. Plat, Of Con-
necticut, opposed the bill, and because Of
his opposition and his desire for time for
discussion it was not pressed. The
Alaskan bills passed included those for
the improvement of roads the main
tenance of schools, the appointment
of an additional judge, and the
extension of the coal laws to the Terri
tory.
Several other bills were passed, in
Guiding ane increasing to 500 the pen
sion of ex-soldieIs who have become
totally blind on account of service. In
connection with this bill, Mr.. McCum-
Der, chairman of the committee on pen
sions, stated that 600 cases were covered
by the provisions of the bill, and that
the increased cost to government would
be SOL, 900 annually.

Russia.

To the Editor of the Alexandra Gazette:
In considering the war now being waged in
the East. the following extracts may not be
uninteresting 10 your readers In regard 10
the position Of Russ ia at the time OF our
Spanish.American war. the Novosti, IN the
last week of June when the struggle was
nearing its crisis, declared that 1t was full
time to end a senseleSs and criminal war; that
America must submit her pretentions TO a
tribunal of the Powers; that we could not
avoid doing this, since our long and exposed
coast line could not withstand two or three
combined European fleets. In November the
Novcsti insisted that the great Powers should
protest against the proposed cession OF the
Philippines The NovOsti is considered
semi-official organ, and in government
where everything Is subject to such strict
censure as in Russia, the government will
have TO bear possibility for what
appears without objection in the press: II IS
said that the Spanish Red Book will furnish
evidence that Russia was practically a secret
ally of Spain. The Russian Ambassador alb
sented himself from Washington during the
greater part OF the hOstilities and was engaged
in diplomatic consultation in various Euro
pean capitals.
Catherine II was a pronounced enemy Of
the United States during the Revolutionary
War. lSee Wharton's American Reyolu-
tionary Diplomatic Correspondence, vol. ..

tain an army of Cossacks and Tartan. to help
crush the Americans, but Frederick the Great
refused to permit Russian troops for British
use in America to cross his territory. Fran

Gals of the mine workers association urge
as a reason for accepting the wage cut
proposition of the coal miners that the
apex of prosperity has been reached and
industrial depression is approaching;
that the cut is far smaller than was at
first demanded by the operators; that all
accomplished in the years Of struggle
would be jeopardized by strike at this
time. Conservative men say it is calm
and fair presentation of facts and as such
should have great weight in averting a
strike in the bituminous field on April
1. The United Mine Workers local

ton of accepting reduction of 5.55
