END OF THE LONG FIGHT.
Several Speeches Made Before the
Vote Was Finally Taken.

Washington, Feb 2O.-In anticipation
of the closing debate and final vote on
the resolution declaring Reed Smoot to
be not entitled to his seat as senator
from Utah. fixed for O'Clock TODAY.
the galleries were well filled.
The proceedings opened with a short
skirmish TO secure division of time
among those desiring to speak for and
against the resolution.
When Senator Hopkins suggested a
division of time there were many neg
alive observations among senators.
! That is procedure of the house.
where they have no parliamentary Law.
and l object" asserted Senator Money
/ Fifteen minutes We're occupied in dis
cussing the question of procedure. Then
further efforts in that direction were
abandoned and Senator Dubois took the
| floor in opposition TO Mr.. Smoot. He
charged that senators supporting the
Utah senator had taken advantage of
all the tactics of special pleading.
! When he declared that Senator Hon
klns had put the Mormon church above
all other Christian organizations. Mr..
Hopkins sought to interrupt
Dubois Would Not Yield.
7 viii not yield declared Mr.. Du-
bois. with some heat. You would not
permit me to interrupt YOU"
But the senator is making an abso-
Lutte misrepresentation shouted Mr.
Hopkins.
Mr.. Dubois said the only fair speech
that had been made for Mr.. Smoot had
been by the junior senator from Utah.
Mr.. Sutherland. He would not have
dared utter on this floor what other
senators uttered" he said, because he
knows better the actual conditions in
Utah"
Mr. Dubois took direct issue with
Senator Knox's statement, polygamy
in Utah has ended"
Five out of the twelve apostles have
gone into it since the manifesto" said
Mr. Dubois. 1.-The president of the
church performed the ceremony be-
tween an apostle and his fourth wife"
Smoot a Polygamist Child.
Turning his attention to Senator
Smoot, Mr.. Dubois remarked:
Mr.. Smoot is the son of a polyga-
mist His father had four wives. When
he reached the age of manhood he mar
ried the daughter of a fourth wife of
her father. I would not say this IL II
hurt the feelings of the senator 1t
does not. No one in Utah will blame
him for it. Many will honor him."
Concluding, Mr. Dubois declared
there were not ten senators who would
vote for Reed Smoot If they had read
the testimony.

After the 1st Of April
The secretary Of the interior, Mr.. z.

Gus methods OF prosecution on April
upon all persons who persist in un-
lawfully fencing government land for
their own use. The governments spe-

not to wait for complaint but are in

This active campaign against the
''fencer" has been inaugurated by an
amendment to the former order OF the
interior secretary to special agents
The amendment, more drastic than
the former order, is as follows:
1t shall be the duty Of the special
agent on receipt OF any charge or
complaint or upon Information being
acquired by him from any source, that
an unlawful inclOsure is being main
tained by any person or persons, as
sOciatiOn, or corporation, to at once
proceed to secure sufficient data, in
cluding a description Of the lands in
closed, with reasonable cerainty, not
necessarily by metes and bounds, nor
by governmental subdivisions OF sur
veyed land, but only so that the in
closure may be identified and the per
son or persons guilty Of the violation,
as nearly as may be, and by descrip-
ton If the name cannot on reasonable
inquiry, be ascertained, and to at once
submit such case, with the data thus
obtained, to the United States attOr-
ney for prosecution.
It shall be the duty Of the special
agent, and he shall be so instructed,
to be alert and vigilant to detect the
existence OF unlawful Enclosures in his
district and to proceed in accordance
Herewith as hereinabOve directed, and
that he is not to cOnstrue his duties as
requiring that, before proceeding in
the matter OF an unlawful inclosure
there must first be filed with him a
formal complaint BY some person or
persons acquainted with the facts, but
it shall be his duty, as hereinabOve
stated, TO take the initiative himself
