A small Mormon settlement ia tem porarily domiciled at the Palace hotel , and It consists of the president of the church , John Taylor , and nlno ( aids doc - c tnp , f niniuly : John Sharp , John Taylor , Kraatus Snow , Joseph Fielding , George Ilaynolde , Moses Thatcher , F. M. Lyman , John Q Cannon and Wrc. Ilarvey. They will leave for the "Cily of Xion" to-morrow. They arrived hero ever the Southern Pacific railroad yet- torday , having visited the Mormon U'ttlutnenia in Arizona , and Inspected the country as far os Guaymaa , with what object , however , is not known , last evening a Call reporter presented hlmeolf at the door of President Taylor's ' room , and nftor the gatiutlnt of the ser vant hid been run , Bishop Sharp was mot with. The bishop explained how Itnposilblo It would bo to sao President Taylor , as that dignitary was about to retire ; "and then you must consider his advanced oge seventy-six years , " added the bishop. A Tllll" TO THE YAQVI COUXTKY. The gentleman in answer to qucs tiona then described their trip from Salt Like , which city they loft throe weeks ego for Denver , and thcnco to Kansas City , Albuquerque , and finally down to Guayraw , or more properly speaking the Yaqiu Indian country. The sottlu- montfl in Anma the bishop reported as nourishing , the Mormons In that terri tory now numbering upward of 4,500 The greater proprtlon of these are at a little settlement above Marlcopa , known an Macoyo and the remainder are at a place ctiled St. Johns , about eight miles went of the first-mentioned place. "It is true , " said the bishop , "that even our people there are being prose cuted , ana , oil I understand , E in-oral of them ha\o been convicted. Wo Lope to win in thu end though , " ho Bald , drawing a sigh. Bii'aop Simp was'then asked In icgard to tbo report that has been printed that his cliurcu had cast longing eyes upon the Yaqui country , In Mexico , with a view of colonizing It with the polyga- mints of Utah. In this connection it will be well to state that the entire party , when they loft Utah , want with ttje purpose - pose of visiting the Mexican country , and In particular that part of it known as tbo "i'aqui Indian country , a section whore a tribe cf tint nnmo is very pow erful. The object In view was said to be an ollillation with the Yaquis , BO tDat in the couisa of a few years they would bo able to bid defiance to the Mexicin authorities and demand such concessions as they wanted ; auccoedlng.ln this , they would have a safe refogo in the avout of the Mormon church being overthrown In Utah. A NON COMMITTAL 11ISU01' . The buhop stated that ho had road all these reports but did not care to Bay any thing abnut them. "Is the allegation true or fals ? ' ' was asked. "I will reither deny or affirm i1tho bishop replied ; "all 1 en a say is , we want as far as Gunymss and are going homo to morrow. " The bishop then turned to leave , but came back and added by way of paren thesis , that the nowBtaper men scorn to know more about the Mormou church than did the elders and bishops them selves. In regard to proselyting abroad tbo bishop would say nothing further than that the church was growing in numbora yearly , but at the same time ho would not state oven approximately what the membership is. Tno bishop ia 57 years old , but ho bears his ago well , llo is of robuit aupoaranco , with gray bjard , and looks like well-to-do altogether moro a - - granger than a bishop of the Mormon church.

THIS NEWSPAl'KK Tlic Early 1'rliitliiK 1'rcssos Tlio First Pniicr in Bnn Frnnclauo Newspaper Pun , At the beginning of the century the Times was at the bottom of tin list of London morning journals as regards thu numbers cold , its contemporaries being ranked .13 follows in prcpartlon to their circulation (1) ( ) the Morning Chronicle , (2) ( ) the Morning Post , (3) ( ) the Morning Herald , (4) ( ) the Morning Advertiser. The circulation of the Times did not then ex- 1,000 crpios daily. Seven join earlier the daily circulation of the Morning Post was but 350 copies , and its progress had beou lapid ; yet that of the Times was oven moro marvellous during the ten fol lowing yoarr. From ths amalloit circula tion of any London contemporary , the circulation of tbo Times became so much larger than that of any of them that the ordinary printing appliances proved in adequate to provide the copies for which thcru was a demand. When the number bought was l.OCO it was easy enough to supply them with a press which tinned out between 300 to 400 copies an hour , but vhm many thousands were called for such a press proved wholly inadequate. Mr. Walter had inado several attempts to affect im- proveniMits in the printing presses. Bo consulted Mate If.imbanl Brunei , ono of the great mechanics of his day , who gave his best attention to the matter and thun intimated his inability to execute what was required. Mr. Walter advanced money to 'J homas Marlyn , who thought ho had made an important discovery , but iho ideas of Alnrtyn woto not rea'izcd ' in practice.

Two years later , when i working model of Koonlg'a improved prees had boon completed , Bemley brought the matter before Mr. Walter who , tor the moment , was so fully occu pied with other engagements that ho onnld not entertain a now scheme. In 1812 Koonig lii finished ono of his now printing ptuuoa , nnd iho conductors of the London journals were invited to eeo it in operation. Mr. Pony , of the Morn ing Chronicle , a very shrewd man , and the editor of a most successful newspa per , would not oven accept the invitation declaring that , in his opinion , no news paper was worth BO many yoara purche.so nn would equal the cost cf the now ma chine. Mr. Walter accepted the invitn tiou , carefully rxaminod K-.onig's im proved press and at once ordered twi 3 double prcoEoj on thu same model. Twi 3 years clapicd before these presses wor constructed and at work , Ramon of the now invention were clrou latod , despite the secrecy tc which all concerned had bsen pledged , and the Times prpssmtn , whc D bolloved that their moans of livelihood would bo at an end when ttjam was ap - plied to printing , vowed vengeance upon the inventor. The now presses wor e erected in rooms adjoining thoao whom n the old ones woio in operation. At [ J o'clock in the morning ( f the 20th day o if November , 1814 , Mr. Walter entered th o oflico with several damp printed ahoiti i n his hand aid informed tin startled press i- man at work there that "tho Times was already printed by steam I that If they at t- tempted violence there wts a force reedy to Biippreas it , but that If they were peacoabla their pnjos should be contin i- ued to every ono of them till similar em i. ployment could bo procured.

In the meantime , prlvato parties had not given up the idea of the advantages to ba gained by the construction of this water way. way.A cotrpiny was organized in New York in 1840 called the Americm Atlantic A Pacific Ship.Canal 'company. O. W. Ohildr , a Philadelphia ongicofr , was cm- plryed by tha company to mike a cart- fnl survey of the route , which ho did ic 1850. This survey wae , nt the request ol the company , transferred to Mr. Conrad , than secretory of war , to Col. J. J. Al bert and Major W. Tnrnbull , of the United States typographical englneorr , who pronounced the plan the mott fowl- b'o ot any which hid yet been proposed. The succeeding political complication ? , which culminated in the war of the rebel lion , put au end to all attempts on the part of American citizens to construe ! this great waterway. Between 1870 and 1873 the c\nal projects were revived , and surveys of all three of the favorite routes were made nndor the supervision of the Unitad States Rovornrcrnt , that ol tbo Nicaragua route bolnq nude by Commander mandor K P.

The proposed now lonti will comprise a tiiflo ever fifty miles of canal , together with river and lake navigation of 119 miles. There will be eleven locks , six on the Pacific and' five on the A tlantic side. It ts claimed that the trip of ojdinary sailing vessels from New Ytrtt to San Irancisco will bo shortened seventy-five days , to Hong Kong twenty-seven days , to Shang hi tliirty-four days , and to Ca'lao ' fifty- tire days by this route. From New York to San Francisco this route , it is claimed , will bo ten days shorter than the Panama route. There is little doubt that the e are lo"8 engineering difficulties to bo over come by this route than any other pro posed , and that it can bo constructed with the least outlay of money. 'Jho chief drawback lies in the necessity of locks which ncccssatily limits the taritlic that can bo carried on through its agency. An early us 1774 thu route by the Tohuaotopoo isthmus was surveyed hy Cramer. Prior to tbii period , in 1745 , leading cltlzeriH of Oaxasa had ajltated the subject. In 1814 the Spanish cortja paes ( d a decree for the opening of a c > n il 1 at this point , in the hope of alloying thu revolutionary eplrit ot the Mexicans by ihls meanf. Oroegcz ) explored the route again ten yeats later , In 1824 A surrey was made by Geroy In 1842 , after which Tohunatopoc canal schemes seem to have slept till 1872 , when a new survey was msdo by Cap * . Shufeldt , uudtr thu ana- picoi of the United S atos government. This route Is about 120 mil OH in length , crosses an elevation of G80 feet , which will require a good many locks to over conip. The water faoilitiiH , how ever , are da med to bo ample. This is the mist northerly of all thn routea proposed , and and is easiest of occea from Ntw York and other United States ports.

The doctor ssys ho will dlo from blood poisoning , or fur the want of ndurieh- tncnt. Canada BS a Winter Ilesort. From an illustrated article by W. George Boers , In tbo February Century , wo quote the following. "How shall I hope to describe what has been done to make Canada as a winter resort bett-.r known to all the world ? The first snow fall is an intoxicant. lioyagoanomad. . Montreal has a temporary insanity. The hi uses are prepared for the visit of King North Wind , and Canadians are the only people in tbo wcrld who know _ how to keep warm outdoors ns well as indoors The s'reoti am gay with life and laughter - tor , and everybody eoeras determined to trako the most of the great carnival. BuainoiH goes to the dogs. There is a mighty march of tourists and townspeo ple crunching over the crisp snow , and a constant jingle of slefgh-boHs , If you go to en ? oi the toboggan s'idos , you will wltnets a Bight that thrills the onlooker M well as the toboggouist. The natural hills were formerly the only resort , but some ono introduced the Russian idea of erecting a bign wooden structure , up ona aide of which you draw your toboggan nnd down the other tide of which you fly like a rocket. These artificial alldou are the moat popular as they era easier of ascent andean bo male to as to avoid cahote , or bumps. "Within the last row yeara a sccro of regular toboggan clubs have boon organ ized. Everybody has gene crjzy on the subject , and men , women and children rev. 1 in the dashinz flight. The hills are lit by torches stuck In the snow on each aide of the track , and huge bonfires are kept burning , around which gather picturetquo groups. Perhaps of all sports c f the carnival , this ia iho moat geneially enjoyed by visitor * . Some of the s'ides are veay s ecpand look danger ous , and the Bennatiori of ruahing down the hill on the thin atrip of basawood Is ono never to bo forgotten. _ " 'How did you like It ? ' asked a Cana dian girl of an American visitor , whom aho had ateored down tlio atcopcat slide. " 'Ohl I wouldn't ' have mltBod It for a hundred dollars. ' " 'You'll Iry it again , won't you.1 " 'Not for u thousand dollars" " W * < VtifM TitrToainrird * Illlr , loiter f H1nr pawn. ftttnUil i'rowtti > r ) < rtuk r uvfrciiiut 174 ti * iii tln4 - t' ' ritjr TlK r alii ] tji lihl > j * fh tif i'lj I'UlllIng up t' ' * A t j tlouri itt c > DC'UtrtU ) ( ii < iurlitn ) ui to wtthtit I-Tl'.ODi. full HieiiKtli ie-flu.ni ! i I , ul funrtloDi lf Q lu vtrror4tti t.t tb Ixnjr fcifw u lie * UUln iUr.
