Request for an Early Revision
Of the Tariff.

Washington, Jan. 14.--Eleven wit
nesses testified today In the Smoot
case. All except two told of political
conditions in Utah and OF the Mormon
endowment house ceremony.
Several witnesses said the ceremony
included no obligations that confic,
with the duties of citizen to the state
or the nation.
Chairman Burrows asked two wit
nesses to give the nature Of the cere-
monies, but both refused on the ground
that they had given oaths not to di-
vulge what had taken place within the
temple. They both claimed not to be
Mormons, one having been expelled
and the other voluntarily withdrawn
from the church.
A former judge Of the supreme court
under territorial and state government
told of prosecutions for polygamous
expressing the opinion that
is now almost thing Of the
past and the sentiment Of Mormons In
the state is against plural marriage.
The general opinion expressed among
senator's is that there is not sufficient
time left to accomplish anything in
that line during the present congress.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 14.-Tne dis
position Of the house military is to
cut the appropriations for the trans
portation Of regular army troops to the
annual maneuvers such as were held
at Manassas The committee members
have all along been skeptical Of the
wisdom of such maneuvers when the
enormous cost Is taken into consider
alton. Occurrences around headQuar-
ters at Manassas last September have
only confirmed the committee members
In this view. Accordingly, from the
present plans OF the committee. the to-
tai appropriation for transportation Of
the army for the next fiscal year will
be $12,0O0,0O0, a reduction of $S,o00,-
900 from the appropriation under the
same head for the present, fiscal year.
The reduction win be effective in pre-
venting the massing OF troops for such
maneuvers. Then 1t Is the intention to
withhold any appropriation for the
transportion OF the national guard.
