That thn teachings and practice of

tember 1, there have been in the

of York advocates the old-fashioned way

is practiced, it is with tho secrecy that a
bitrshir guards his house-breaking aud
a thief his larcenies. Those, who are
convicted of polygamy regard them
selves and are regarded by their friends
as martyrs, and think it no disgrace to
be sent to the penitentiary.
Tho commission, in view of the pres-.
cut condition of tho territory as regards
polygamy, does not think Utah should
lie admitted ns a state. Should it be,
the commission says, "jt &uld nut be
long before the gentile element wkh its
advanced civilization, its trade and traf
fic would be driven from the territory,
and the Mormon theocracy be made su
preme." Tho commission makes a number of
recommendations, among them that tho
jurisdiction of all polygamous and sex
ual offenses, without regard to the place
where they are committed, within the
territory, lie conferred on 'the district
courts; that the terms for unlawful co
hubition be extended to at least two
years for the first and three years for
the second offense; that it be made a
penal offense for any woman to enter
into the marriage relation with any
man, knowing him to have a wife living,
midivorced: that any person who refuses
to take oath that he or she is not cohab
itatingwith more than one husband or
wife in the marriage relation, as the
cose may be, shall be excluded from
making location and settlement upon
public lauds; that the laws with refer
ence to the immigration of Chinese and
the importation of contract labor, pau
pers and criminals be so amended us to
prevent the immigration of persons
claiming that their religion justifies the
crime of polygamy; that tho constitu
tion should be amended so as to further
prohibit polygamy: that a law be en
acted creating a board to consist of the
governor, the Utah commission aud the
secretary of the territory to apportion
Salt Lake City into alderuiauio and
councilmitnic districts.
In regard to the prohibition of immi
p ration the report says: "While we for
bid the immigration of the non-proso-lyting,
peace-loving, docile- Chinaman,
because we fear a future danger from
his coming; while we forbid the lauding
on our shores of contract laborers, be
cause they cheapen the wages of American-born
citizens; and paupers because
they become a burden; there is a far
greater reason for closing our doors as a
nation and refusing citizenship to the
hordes who are brought here to swell
the ranks of an organized body which
teaches them, in advance, to hate our
government, denominates its executive,
lawmakers, judges and prosecutors as
pernecutors, and instills iuto each mind
Che constant teaching that their pre
tended revelations are more binding
than the highest and best laws of the
land and that resistance to such laws is
a virtue and rendering of obedience to
God. How far short of treason these
teachings are we leave to those who can
answer."
In concluding, the report say con
gress should take no backward or even
no wavering step in the enforcement of
the laws against polygamy.

riTTsnrim, Pa., Sept. 2.7. The con
vention of the stale republican league
clubs assembled in the historic Lafay

The convention hall was a bower of
beauty iu its decoiation. Tliere is a

republicans from various parts of the
state are present
The first business of the afternoon
session of the convention was the elec
tion by acclamation of William T. Leeds
of Philadelphia and Harry S. Paul of
Pittsburg as dolegates-at-large to rep
resent the stato league nt tho national
convention, to be held at Nashville next
year.
Business was suspended to listen to
the report of the cmnmilteo on resolu
tions. The report reallirms and ratifies
the platforms adopted by the Inst state
and national conventions of the republi
can party; indorses tho administration
of President Harrison; that it is the duty
of the republican party to use every en
deavor to protect tho southern negroes
in tho enjoyment of civil and political
rights, and calls upon the president and
congress of the United Slates to take tho
necessary action to secure their consti
tutional rights; denounces the action of
the democratic authorities in tho state
of West Virginia as necessarily subver
sive of free government; indorses Hon.
II. K. lioyer, republican candidate for
i-tatc treasurer, and indorses the admin
istration of Governor Heaver.
ltf picseiit'itives of the slate clulx, two
from each congressional district, to tho

New Yoiik, September 29. New York
proporty owurrs are greatly exercised
over the results of taking Chinese as
tenants. They find that the Mongolians,
like a plague radiating from a single
place of business, spread through a
street in defiance of law and persuasion
and the street is as effectually ruined as
though infected with small' pox. The
district attorney is now investigating a
charge of boycott mode by John P.
White, the owner of a building on Molt
streot, againt the Wing We Hing com
pany. iinKrlrs of Chinese merchandise.
They were former teuants of the build
ing but refused to renew tho lease ex
cept on such terms as they dictated.
Mr. White soon found himself nuableto
lease the building either to Chi
nese or any one else. The former
because a notice had been posted
warning all Chineso against it and
the latter because they would not oc
UPV a building after thn fililur l,onn......
hod been in it. The Chinese have se
cured a foothold in New York. If it
becomes firmer, if the increase of Chi
nese population increases at the rate of
15 per cent as it has iu the last vear
despite the icstrioting act, what will be
the effect on property valnes? Tlint is
the question that is troubling the land
lords. Should the Chinese greatly iu.
crease ami should tlisv luinn. ;il.
gard to other property tactics similar tor
those adopted in Mr. White case, the
iuuuimius wouui ne entirely at their
mercy. They misht drive the Chinese
out by a concerted effort, but in order
to secure Cancusian tenant in the va
cant place they would be obliged to
renovate thoroughly, even should thev
not bo complied to tear down and re
build the entire district.

Washington-. V. C, Sept. 27. Tho
Evening Capital snys: The ieiort of
Messrs. Ea itig. Campbell and Bruce, the
commission that investigated the pen
sion office, though closely guarded by
the interior officials, is gradually becom
ing known. It is known that the report
lakes up each relating case separately
aud each is exhibit in itself. Stress is
laid Ukiii the fact that Deputy Commis
sioner Hiram Smith, jr., received over
S0,W0 as a leraliiig. This action of his
comes for severe criticism iu the reoit.
Whether or not Smith has returned this
S),000 tho report does not state. Smith
receives his pension at tho Topeka
ugouev.
Secretary Noble, iu view of ih report
of the commission, has himself ques
tioned Mr. Smith lo the facts attend
ing the rerating. Tho rejiort also con
demns Squirts, especially for his notion
iu making cases special. It states that
Squires possesed the stamp of Tanner
as commissioner and aflued it to papers
without tho commissioner's knowledge.
Tho number of such can'fs a very largo
number, is given, and Commissioner
Tanner is criticised for his carelessness
in thus entrusting his official prerogative
to a mere private secretary who violated
the confidence reposed in him. The
name of pension ollico officials who
caused themselves to be rerated f"rm a
conspicuous part of the repot t. Several
veredisclmrged lit thctime by Seci'etai
Noble and they now point to thn fact
that tho olio who received the largest
amount of nil. Deputy Commissioner
Smith, is still in oflice.
A member of tho board who made tho
investigation intimated to a reporter
that the chief culprits were still in lwi
tion, but would soon follow Mr. Tanner
iuto privato life.
Corporal Tanner was today seen by a
representative of tho press at his resi
dence and questioned as to the genuine
ness of the letter pnrKiiting to have
been written by him to Private DulzelJ,
oud telegraphed this morning from
Caldwell, O. He stated that the letter
was genuine, and had been written in
confidence to a man whom he consid
ered a friend. He said tho letter was
evidently stolen.
TANNER TALKS.
Commissioner Tanner is indignant
about tho publication of his letter to
Private Dalr.cll. Ho is not prepared to
state whether the letter had been made
public by Privato Dalzell intentionally
or whether Dalzell had allowed it to
slip out through some one who had
access to his correspondence, aud says
that inasmuch as the letter was a confi
dential one and not intended for pnl
hcatiou he will not discuss anything iu
connection with it.
With reference to the rerating of De
puty Commissioner Smith Mr. Tanner
says: "The relating cases that came be
fore mo were iu a batch. Among them
was that of Deputy Commissioner
Smith. His cast) was not made special.
There were nine other cases where tho
disability was about of the same charac
ter, namely the loss of an arm or a leg.
It was iii May when these cases wcie be
fore we.. There were photographs of
each subject, including some very bad
cases. While tho question of relating
these pensioners was under discussion
thero were present in my oflice General
Lew Wallaco, General Barunin of New
York and more than a dozen newspaper
men. 1 hero was not the slightest criti
cism as to the justice of tho reinting of
these peiisijuicrs. It was generally in
dorsed by tho press, including papers
which liavo generally been opposed to
me. As I Raul bofore tho cose of the
deputy commissioner went along with
tho others. I do not recall whether I
signed tho certificate subsequently or
not. If I did it was douo with a rubber
stamp, the way in which the signature
of tho commissioner and secretary ol
tho interior is usually attsched to the
certificates. If I did situ it, it was in
that manner. If Mr. Smith signed it
his own siguaturo will appear on the
certificate."

In the cose of the Northern Pacifio

does not forfeit any rights which tho

It simply cannot insist on any further
opportunity to coutradict tho proofs
