French Alleged to HaV e De

the Republic.

London, Sept 2S.-Sir Harry john
ston. the well known traveller and for
mer consul general Of the Uganda pro-
tectorate. who recently returned here
from visit to Liberia is quoted in an
interview as saying there is no doubt
that France is endeaVOring to secure.
ais a result of the boundary dispute, a
portion of the territory of the Liberian
republic.
mo justification whatever can be
shown for such a procedure. ne said,
"other than the right of the strongest
and the fetal inability of Liberia To re-
sist by force any French aggression"
Sir Harry speaks highly of the
American negro A census which he
made shows that there are about 1900
of these resident in Liberia. who
show under their own government
what the negro is capable OF in the
way OF civilization. American and
British philanthTopists who have
watched Liberia for years could not
but view with great bitterness any at
tempt on the part Of the colonial party
in France to take advantage of Ii
beria's weakness to snip off portions of
her territory"

Ex-senator HeitfeId Accusing
Great Interest in His Tour

Rexburg. Ida, Sept. 2S.-Ex- Senator
.Heitfeld spoke here this evening on the
issues OF the day Notwithstanding
the refusal Of Committeeman Minsaps
to advertise the meeting, a respectable
sized audience was present at Flanm 5
hall. The audience was composed prin-
cipally of young people. The absence
of the old Mormon leaders was especi-
ally noticeable. The hearers followed
the senator's remarks with great at
tentiOn. Especially did they display
great interest in that portion of his
speech touching upon pOlygamy and
church dictation in political affairs.
After the meeting many citizens eX-
pressed themselves as well pleased.
From the fact that the population Of
this town is composed almost entirely
of MoTmons Mr.. Heitfeld is well
pleased with the reception accorded

Sutherland is concerned.
No attempt was made 10 disguise the
fact that a straight SmOOt slate for the
lower house was out. The ten Names
printed on slips of paper, were passed
to the delegates, and in many instances
the vote was reported in the order the
names appeared on the slips. Every
man on the slate landed by wide mar
gin on the first ballot. Friends OF
Dunn and Mcdonald made an ineftec-

carried Dunn and Mcdonald in place

ballot Not a man missed. Dunn's
friends, in the city made every effort

he still needed 3f1a votes to tie the
lowest slate man.
