WASIIINOTON , Kch. 24 [ Special Tele- nrnin. ] It Is said tlio Mormons nro contem plating a most dating innvc. Heretofore tlicy Imvo peacefully selected tlio Icnltorli's In which to live. From Utah they ha\o brnnchcil out In Idaho , New Mexico and Ail- ynna. Like all residents or the tcrrltoiius tlioy arc tinder the direction and contiol of romness and nmenablo to tlio laws passed at Washington. Thuilgjdgty of the laws against polygamy and the uniclcntlng enforcement of thrm by llioftd ial courts In Utali have forced the pi oblom on tlic Mormons of how to escape fioiu control of tlio federal aulhoil- tics. If they contioiled a state by a mnjoilty vote , It Is thought by some that tlio solution would ho found. Tliey would then bo free from tlio Intelfeicnco of congicss and that they infill carry out their polygamous prac tices In dellance of federal laws. It Is said Nevada Is tlio Held selected In which Mormon Ism will In the end maku Its defiant stand against thu general govern ment fortlie peipctuatlon of Its Institutions. Their obvious course In attain this position Is by an immigration Into tlm state sttlllclcnt to command a majority at tlio polls. Once dominant , with tlm power of maUngand ad ministering local laws , their situation will bo ono of pet inancnt vantasro , and they will have enlisted for their protection the wiiolo foieo of tlm state rights doctilne. That they Imvo not yet made a direct move In this diiectlon Is duo not to their inability In several ycais past , but to the fact that they have ovciythlng to gain by delay. While the population of Nevada has been diminishing tlio .Mommns have be-on augmenting by an average jeaily addition ot',2,000con\cils , and by the natuial Incicaso of the icsultof plural nmirlago. Until thcydeclaro tliemselvei , no ono outside tlio facts can know how many Moimons mo already living unnoticed in Nevada. When they shall have attained a voting population In the btato as gieat as cither of tlio two neaiiy evenly balanced po litical paillcs , thclv end Is assuted , for no Blngle man , no matter how rielii can outbid tlio Moimon chinch In a contest for state or national onice Influenced , by money. Kuch colon l/.atlon can bo elTectod by the 3Ioimons without effecting their supiomacy In Utah , or without weakening their hold in tlio outlying leiutoiics , nnd with leprcsentativcs In the lower house of COIIRIGVI niul two si'imtois , thostioimth of their posi tion Is btiikinglj' apparent. To deal with them under state organl/.atlon , constitu tional questions have to bo met commen surate In cravity with those settled by tlm civil war , with the peipetnal dllllciiUy that In dealing with this particular ease pre cedents may be established which In after time could be quoted in justification ot the icpiusslon of civil and icllgious llbeity , and the enfoiccmeiit of the Integrity of duty Invested - . vested In statehood. GOSSIt' ON AIIMY It Is said at the war department there are not likely to be any appointments inado to till any existing vacancies In tlioarmy , higl or low , until the ICth of March , when Genera Pope goes on the rcthed list. Then two major gcncials will bo appointed and other consequent appointments bo made. The piesldcnt Is dis posed to give Ocneral Terry precedence as major general over General Howard , pro vlded ho can do so without doing any injiis- tico to Cicneral Howard. Ho Is lecelving a gicat many applications from clcigymon for the three chaplaincies which ho is going to till , and there Is also gieat prcssmo for the position of Judge advocate with a major's lanUandpay , which Is open.

[ Special Tele gram.J The stoiy of United States Senator Jones' slngulaily persistent pursuit of Miss Clotlidc Palms , whoso hand he seeks in mar- ilagc , has so tinned out as to make It com mon piopeity , nnd this being the case the full lacts were nuthoiitativcly detailed lor the piess to-day by a gentleman who is ac quainted with them minutely. Three years ago Ex-Mayor Thompson , while on a pleasure hip east , met Senator Jones for the hibt time at the Ocean House , Nowpoit. Jones seemed a jolly good follow , brlghl and somewhat Intellectual , and Mr. Thompson , In an offhand , hospitable way , Invited him to visit him in Detiolt and bee how ho lan things ns mayor of the city , Jones.visitcdDctioit , nnd during a soclai evening at the mayoi's home was intioducod to Miss Palms. Ho was a widower and United States senator. She had youth and money. Ho was smitten. A week alter ho called upon the young lady , summarily proposed nmirlage , nnd was as sumiuaiily lojcctcd. I understand Irom rela tives that ho never had another Intcivlew with her. However , ho was not dismayed , and continued to prosecute his suit by letter. After he lett tlio city tlio young lady was fnlily inundated with love letters , and I don't think I exaggerate much when 1 say she re ceived fiom Washington ncaily n ton of the senator's speeches , delivered during his twelve years In the senate. Eaily last Juno the senator lovislted Detroit to again prose cute his .suit in person. Ho called constantly at the house , but never found Miss Palms at homo to him. His Impoitunltlcs continued with lelontless perseverance until two months ago , when her father forbade him over entering the house. Hut the most astonishing p.ut of the perse cution remains to bo told. Miss Palms is a btauuch Koman Catholic. The senator be longs to the same faith. Now , lefuscd by the young lady herself , ho seeks the assistance of the chinch. Not content with quarreling with two priests , whom ho offended by the bare suggestion ot their Intel ference , ho quietly appealed to no lens augu&t n personage than lUght Hev- eicndUlshopHoigess. The bishop was nil- palled , and his answer to thu letter Irom the senator was ono of the most scorching replies ever penned. Throughout Hie whole affair the lady has conducted heikelf with that quiet , womanly dignity that lias graced her everyday life. She is keenly moi tilled at the notoriety the senator's importunities have thrust upon her. Miss I'alins Is a daughter of Francis Palms , commonly reputed to bo the wealthiest man In Michigan. Ho Is long past 70 years , and his toituno of S 12,000,000 to 815,000,000 is likely to go In bulk to the daughter.

Senator idmunds : will seek to open a debate upon this subject ns soon thereafter as possi ble , but the educational bill stands on the calendar as unfinished business , a position It has occupied since the Oth hist. , Mr. Ed munds has not intimated n puiposo to have it set aside. The filends of the educational bill hope it may ho disposed of within two or three days , and lilalr will icslst all attempts to have It laid aside for any put pose. The de- hate on the Issues between the majoiity In the scnato and the ex ecutive , to which the minority icport ghcsrlsc , is expected to last several days , ami may co\cr two or tlneo weekM.

Meanwhile , however , much legislative bus iness of a character not provocative ol debate will bo transacted as lieietoloro duilni ; the horns ot each day devoted to the calendar. The piescnt week momlses to bo n busy one In the house ot ropiesentatlves. Atter the call of stales on Monday , it will bo in order lor the speaker to iecognl7o members lor the mil pose of moving to put any nicasuro on Its passage under suspension of the rules. It is understood that James ot New You : will bo rccognl/.ed for tlio puiposo ol asking the adoption of a lesoluilon fixing ccitaln days tortho consideration of adverse lopoits on the bill lor the iieo coinage of silver. Undertho rules halt an hour for debate is peimittcd on eveiy motion to suspend the nilcs , but ns thcro is a general sentiment In the house that the vexed question should bo speedily settled , theio will piobnbly be no opposition to the resolution. Tlio call of committees this week dining tlio morning hours now icsts with the com- mltteo on mines and mining , which has but the measure for the appointment of n commission ot expeits to execute testi mony of hon nud steel. If this bo Killed up its consideration will consume but little time. The call will then lestwith the com mittee on public buildings nnd grounds , and it is the Intention of that committee to call up in the older in which they stand on the cal endar various public building measures. Theio aio sjventeen such bills to bo disposed ol , nnd it is not likely that the horns allowed to the committee will bo sufficient to peimlt ol action on all of them. , Mr. Ciispof UcoiKin has been instructed by the committee on Pacific railioads , which stands next on the list , to call up the bill ic- quiring the Pacific railioads to pay the cost ol .surveying their lands and to take out pat ents nnd become subject to state taxation. lint It Is doubtful whether this measure will icccivo final action dining the week. Untin- ished business coming over tioin mevious inomlng hours consists ol the " .set off claim" bill and liennepin canal bill , but the indica tions aio that neither ot them will receive luithcr consideration this week , 'there are nowllvogcnor.il appiopiiatlon bills in coin mitteo of the whole , which will occupy the attention of the house after tlm morning boms on Tuesday , Wednesday , Thursday , and they may bo allowed to displace the piivnto calendar on jfilday.

THIS OVI3nLiVxirWAU. ASwcoplnsCut In Kreltjht Itntcs In- Hnturdnv NnwYomt , Feb. 27. [ Special Telegram. ' ] The overland roads jesterdny put the knlfo deep Into Height rates from New York to the-Pacific coast. Under anthoitty gl\en him by CominlssIonorCannon F. Knowland , general e.istein agent of the Union Pacific nnd Central Pacific companies , announced a rate of SI per 100 pounds on all classes. All classification Is abolished , and hence the now rate is a reduction fiom the tariff tlmt ranged liom S2 to S3. A into of eighty-five cents on cotton goods was innilo ye tciday from New York toS.xn Finnclsca. The former tailtr was S'J.75 nnd the severity of the cut Is plain ly shown by the fact that the trunk line late would bo hoventy-livecents to Chicago. The lines fiom Chicago to the Missomlrher would have only ten cents left to them , while the Pacific lallroads would iccelvo absolutely nothing for the long haul from the Missouri liver to California. The Sunset route , It Is expected , will promptly meet this icductlon In rates. Theio will bo a stiongpressmo brought to bear to have tlio trunk lines shaio in the cut on California business , nnd the overland roads claim that this can be done without In the least disturb ing the rates to Chlca6and St. Louis. The sentiment among the trunk lines , however , Is stiongly opposed to any stop that will aggravate the war or extend its limits. It is said that the Atchlson people are beginning to feel moro disposed to submit n'dcclslon of their differences to nibltratlon. All the in- lluence of tlm trunk lines will bo brought to bear at next Tuesday's confeienco to secuio peace. Merely a Flash in the Tan. CHICAGO , Feb. S3. The Times pi hits the following tills morning : The war on St. Paul and Omaha passenger rates Is as a flash in the pau up to date , and doesn't even do- sen o the name of a skirmish. The predic tions of n teriibly hot contest that were rlto a day or two ago in the main nro realized , and the only tangible expectation to hold on to Is the dictum of tlio St. Paul road that it will sell to Omaha as cheaply as It finds Its ii\ol belling to St. Paul In the brokers' olllccs. This means a descending scale at the late ot fifty cants or SI every time n scalper sacrifices his commission to secure n customer. Up to data the action of all tlio lo.uls hasbjeh most iinpoitaut so tar as se curing actual results bv forcing lights. As compromises seem to bo impossible nnd open war contemplated , outshlettt arc little at sou as to what the roads are driving at. Tlio transcontinental war Is equally foitnre- less , although it Is being waged with lull vigor. Passenger rates lemaiu unchanged , with the exception that brokers find an active market and a commission margin. All sorts of figures could bo given on ficlght , as it is a "go as you pleaso'r light in that direction. The Missouri i Ivor lines are all taking care of their coast connections on the matter of pro rating , notwithstanding the action last week of the Pacific Coast association , and will con tinue to share the rate In proportion dining the contest. Cuts of all Kinds and degree are being made out of Chicago tenltor , and the shippefs are masters of the situation. Fiom private advices it Is learned that the fighting is rairing hotter at San Francisco than any other point. Both passenger and tieight tiallic demoralization reigns supreme.

Uradshx-et pilnts this week a trans- atlou of a speech in the house of deputies by Herr Scholz , Oiman minister of finance. Of late the agiailan piotcctlonists have been calling for bimetallism. The speech has no unceitain moaning. It affirms in btiong tcims the wisdom of Geimany's action in adopting tlio single gold standard. The last number nt hand of tlio Pails Economist con tains an elaborate article by hero , IJcaiilleu , dealing with what he calls the actual state of the silver question. Here , as In Heir SchoU' speech , there is little but discouragement for the silver men.

It Is not be lieved dlscilmlnation can be sustained for any length of time. Philadelphia now con sumes illtvcailoads of Chicago dicssed beet In a week. A year ago half that quantity was sufllcicnt to glut tlio maiket. I don't think there aie twenty-live cailoads a week of live stock shipped from Chicago to Philadelphia now , and this falling off has been tlio result of dressed beef shipments. At Boston the ef fect of increasing dressed beef shipments has been noticeable during the past year In com- paratlv ely neglected bloclc yaids and abattohb just outside the city.
