POLYGAMY IN UTAH
Echo of the Roberts' Case in
the House.
LANDIS CAUSED A SURPRISE
Crossfire Between the Indiana Con
grenmnn and King, of the Mor
mon. State The Agricultural
BUI Passed.
"WASHINGTON. Jan. 20. The anti
polygamy crusade, -which resulted in driv
ing Roberts, Utah's .Representative, out of
the House last session, had an echo in the
House today during the consideration of
the agricultural bill. When the section
making the appropriations for agricultural
colleges for the several states was reached
Landls (Rep. Ind.) offered an amendment
providing that no money should be paid
to the college in Utah until the Secretary
of Agriculture was satlKed that no trus
tee or teacher in the institution practiced
polygamy. The amendment came as a
complete surprise. King (Dem. Utah),
who succeeded Roberts, tried in vain to
head it off with a point of order, and then
Inveighed against it as simply an after
math of the Roberts crusade. He insist
ed that polygamy was a thing of the past.
Landls replied by alleging that two of the
professors of the Utah college were polyg
amists, and that one of the trustees had
seven wives and 39 children. Upon this
showing the House adopted the amend
ment, whereupon King retaliated by offer
ing an amendment providing that none
of the money should go to agricultural
colleges in any state whose Instructors or
trustees have engaged m lynching or been
guilty of adultery or rornication. He
afterward modified it to as to apply only
to the Agricultural College of Indiana." It
was overwhelmingly defeated. Subse
quently, when the bill was reported to
the House, the Landls amendment was
stricken out by a vote of GO to 19.
"The friends of the farmer" were much
In evidence during the day, and against
an aggressive opposition led by Mahon
(Rep. Pa.) voted into-the bill an additional
appropriation of $50,000 for "farmers bul
letins." There was also considerable dis
cussion of the irrigation of the arid lands
in connection with the paragraph provid
ing for an investigation of that subject
The bill was passed.
When the House met, Taylor (Rep. O.),
chairman of the committee on elections,
No. 1, submitted the report on the con
tested election case of "Walker vs. Rhea,
from the ninth Virginia district The
committee found that while gross frauds
and irregularities occurred in the election,
they fell "very far short of changing the
result." The-committee recommended that
Rhea, the sitting member, who is a Dem
ocrat, should retain his oat Linney
(Rep. N. C.) and Samuel Davenport (Rep.
Pa.) dissented from the conclusion of the
majority, and were given leave to file
their views. The report will be called up
in the near future.
The House then resumed the considera
tion of the agricultural appropriation bill.
The sections of the present law relating
to the sceintific bureaus of the depart
ment were substituted for the provisions
in the bill which went out yesterday on a
point of order made by Mahon.
Lattimer (Dem. S. C.) offered an amend
ment to increase the app-oprfations for
farmers' bulletins to $50,000. Mahon de
clared that the increased dissemination of
farmers' bulletins would not do the farm
ers any good. He inveighed against the
alleged friends of the farmers, who were
always howling against railroads and
prating of their friendship for the farm
ers. Shackleford (Dem. Mo.) replied to
Mahon very sarcastically, calling atten
tion to his economical suggestions for the
Agricultural Department while he favored
paying the big claims of the "down-trodden
Cramp Shipbuilding Company." He
spoke of Pennsylvania as a trust-ridden
state, and sold that whenever a man from
the West championed the farmers' cause
he was denominated a "Populist." Lat
tlmer's amendment was adopted, 92 to 86.
Landls offered the following provision
as an amendment to the section making
appropriations for agricultural colleges:
"Provided, that no part of this appro
priation shall be available for the Agri
cultural College of Utah until the Secre
tary of Agriculture shall be satisfied and
shall so certify to the Secretary of the
Treasury that no trustee, officer, in
structor or employe of said college is en
gaged in the practice of polygamy or po
lygamous relations."
King made a point of order against
the amendment. He declared that he
would not oppose it if it nad been offered
in good faith, but that he considered It
Blmply an aftermath of what had been
denominated the "crusade" against his
predecessor, Roberts. King said the prac
tice of polygamy in Utah was a thing of
the past. No polygamous marriages were
now solemnized. A few of those who
had entered into such marriages prior to
1S90 might still be secretly preserving po
lygamous relations, but they were very
few In number.
Landls said he was credibly informed
that one of the professors in the college
had three wives, and another two, and
that one of the trustees had seven wives,
who had blessed him with 39 children.
These statements, he said, had been made
by one of the leading papers of Salt Lake
City, and. so far as he knew, the official
organ of the Mormen church had not de
nied It. If these statements were true,
not one dollar should be appropriated for
the support of the Institution. The chair
ruled that the amendment was in order
and the amendment was adopted. TO to 44.
King, who was taken by surprise by the
amendment, hastened to retaliate by offer
ing an amendment providing that no per
son should be a teacher in any agricul
tural college who had engaged in any
lynching or who had been guilty of adultery-
or fornication. The reading of this
amendment created a furore, A score
of members jumped to their feet with
demands for recognition. Grosvenor (Rep.
O.) was recognized. He said he desired
to raise a point of order against the
amendment, not one, but naif a dozen, in
fact. As he oroceeded he warmed up,
and charged that the amendment was an
aspersion upon the teachers in all the
colleges. The chair intimated that the
amendment as drafted was not in order,
and King changed it so as to place it In
th exact language of the Landls amend
ment, and making it apply only to Utah
and Indiana.
Payne (Rep. N. T.), who was in the
chair, thought as the amendment would
modify the previous amendment upon
I tan, it would not be in order. King
seized eagerly upon this suggestion, and
modified it so as to make it applicable to
Indiana alone. In this form the chair
held it was in order. King explained
briefly that he would have been perfectly
willing to include Utah with Indiana,
but could not do so without leaving it sub
ject to a point of order. He again re
verted to the amendment already adopt
ed, which he declared was a gratuitous
Insult to his state. He spoke of the Ag
ricultural College of Utah as one that
had gained a splendid reputation by its
achievements, and paid a high tribute to
the Governor of Utah. who. he said, had
appointed so-called "gentiles." If teaoh
ers had been appointed who were 'obnox
ious, they had been appointed by men
outside of the pale of the dominant
church. The amendment was an affront
to the people of Utah and to the Repub
lican officials of the state, said King.
Grosvenor said he had not voted for- the
amendment with the Idea of assaulting
the people of Utah.
Miers (Dem. Ind.) appealed to King to
withdraw the amendment It had served
the gentleman's purpose-, ne said, and he
appealed to him not to cast a reflection
upon the college at La Fayette, Ind. The
debate was cut short at this point by a de
mand for the previous question, and the
amendment was voted down by a viva
voce vote. After this action had been
taken King asked the privilege of with
drawing it. He said It had not been his
intention to allow It to come to a vote.
The request was not granted.
The proposition to appropriate S50.COO for
investigating the question of Irrigation
and for the publication of reports upon
the subject precipitated another lively de
bate. Moody (Rep. Mass.) a member of
the committe on appropriations, called at
tention to the paragraph and warned the
House that Congress should not be called
upon to deal with this subject, involving
expenditures of vast sums of money.
Newlands (Sil. Nev.) replied to Moody,
pointing out the various methods by which
the irrigation of arid lands, so much de
sired by the West, could be accomplished.
When the bill was reported to the House
King demanded a separate vote upon the
Landls amendment, which was then
stricken from the bill by a rising vote,
69 to 19. The bill was passed, and at 6:45
P. M. the House adjourned.

MILES FAVORS VANCOUVER
As n Point for Enlisting a New Iteff
lincnt of Infantry.
NEW YORK. Jan. 30. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
General Miles is opposed to the estab
lishment of camps to serve as rendez
vous for the 15 regiments to be organized.
The weather is too cold to be comfortable
for the recruits, and he has suggested
that the infantry and cavalry posts now
unoccupied be used as rendezvous. If Gen
eral Miles' recommendations are adopted
the Ave infantry' regiments will be or
ganized, respectively at Plattsburg Bar
racks, N. Y.; Fort Sheridan, 111.; Fort Mc
Pherson, Ga.; Fort Logan, Col., and Van
couver Barracks, Wash The Ave cav
alry regiments will be formed at Fort
Loavenworth, Kan.; San Antonio, Tex.;
Fort Asslnabolne, Mont; the Presidio,
San Francisco, and Jefferson Barracks,
Mo. Light artillery regiments, if the
plan is adopted, will be organized at
points where the weapons and equipment
for the horses can be stored and the
animals can be housed.
From the points where the new regi
ments are organized, ofAcers will be sent
out to enlist resrults. Besides the ef
forts of these officers, more then SO enlist
ment rendezvous have been established
and men are now being enlisted. As none
of tho regulars now serving in the Phil
ippines must be discharged, only about
33,000 men are to be enlisted.
Held Up by Drunken Yaquls.
TUCSON, Ariz., Jan. 30. La Canaoea,
the mining camp of the Green Consoli
dated Mining Company, In Sonora, was.
held for three days by a band of Yaqul
Indians, and the people of the camp were
at the mercy of the Indians. It seems that
a large number of Yaquls who were em
ployed at the camp got drunk when paid
and purchased all the mescal In camp.
The Mexican police were driven from the
camp and held outside by a number of the
Yaquis. Their guns were taken from
them, and the Yaquls also took guns
away from Americans who attempted to
Interfere with them. There were a num
ber of serious cutting affrays, but no
one was killed. The Americans set about
to quiet the Indians and sober them, and,
with the assistance of the Mexican cav
alrymen, were successful In quelling the
drunken rebellion.

THE LOOTING PRIVILEGE
SPEECHES IX THE SENATE IX OP
POSITION TO THE SUBSIDY BILL.
Tnrley and Jonci of Arkansas Ar-
pned Apnlnst It The Measure,
As It Stands, Was Read.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. The shipping
bill was kept at the front in the Senate
today. No appreciable progress was
made, most of the time being occupied
by Turley and Jones (Ark.) In speeches
opposing the bII and severely arraigning
Its alleged favoritism. Early in the day
an unsuccessful effort was made to se
cure an agreement to the conference re
port on the Army reorganization bill.
Clapp, the new Senator from Minne
sota, presented the credentials of his
colleague, Nelson. Burrows presented
the credentials of McMillan, as Senator
from Michigan. Each Is for the full term
of six years from March 4.
Tha Senate agreed to a resolution in
troduced by Jones (Ark.) requesting tho
Secretary of War to inform the Senate
whether the executive council of Porto
Rico has agreed to guarantee dividends
to corporations doing business In that
island.
The conference report upon the Army
GENERALS ORDERED
General William Ludlow.
reorganization bill was then presented by
Hawley, who explained the report and
said the committee on conference had
placed no new legislation in the bill.
Hale asked, whether there had been any
Increase of officers in any instance over
the number permitted by the bill either
as It passed the House or Senate. Haw
ley replied in the negative, but Butler
Insisted that the-,e had been an Increase
of color sergeants In the artillery pro
vision. At 2 o'clock the shipping bill was laid
before the" Senate as the unfinished busi
ness, but as the Army conference report
was still pending, Aldrich asked that the
shipping bill be laid aside temporarily.
Pettlgrew promptly objected. This cre
ated a parliamentary blockade which
compelled either the subsidy bill or the
Army bill to give way. Hawley, in
charge of the Army bill, concluded to
yield, but gave notice that he would call
up that measure the first thing tomor
row. Consideration of the subsidy bill being
resumed, Aldrich gave notice of two
amendments, one providing that appli
cants for subsidy shall contract to build
a new vessel within the United States
within three years, and a second provid
ing that the utmost limit of subsidy
shall be 15 years instead of 20 years, as
provided in the bill.
Turley then spoko against the bill,
pointing out the large expenditures in
volved. Ho declared that already the
shipping Interests had unusual privileges
under the tariff, the postal bounty laws,
and in many other ways. Turley com
pared the cost of ship building in various j
countries. This brought out a state
ment from Vest that ships could be built
for less In the United States than In any
other country. As proof of this, he said,
Japan had advertised for the lowest and
best bid on a cruiser, and the American
bidders had taken the contract, under
bidding the British shipbuilders by 20
per cent. Later, when Russia called for
like bids, the American builders again
underbid the foreigners. Only two weeks
ago. Vest said, the Cramps had secured
a contract for building a cruiser for Tur
key as against all other competitors.
Turley spoke for two hours and was
followed by Jones, In opposition to the
measure. Jones said the bill proposed to
take millions out of the public treasury
and give It as a free gift to certain fa
vored "subsidy beggars." One of tne
worst features of the measure, he said,
was that the vast sums to be paid as
subsidies to a few wealthy doncerns were
wrung from the laboring people and the
poor. Jones said the bill should be en- ,
titled "A bill to enable a select coterie
of ship-owners to loot the United States
treasury." He argued that commercial
development and extension must come
from our natural advantages and enter
prise and not from the legislative stim
ulus of subsidies.
Jones spoke for two hours and then
Berry' called for the formal reading of
the bill. This brought on a controversy
as to the present form of the bill. Frye
declared that Democratic Senators were
delivering New York Reform Club
speeches against the measure, apparently
believing It was the Hanna bill of two
years ago, whereas it had been entirely
changed and bore little resemblance to
that measure. Morgan said he thought
very few Senators knew what was In the
bill. He had been "fox hunting," trying
to locate the amendments and learn what
was in the bill, but had been unable to
do so. Jones also sp"bke of the kaleido
scopic changes of the bill and the inabil
ity of people to keep track of it As a
matter of Information the detailed read
ing of the bill was agreed to. After the
formal reading of the bill it was tempor
arily laid aside.
A bill was passed establishing a Ash
hatchery and Ash station in Idaho.
At 5:56 P. M. the Senate adjourned.
OPPOSITION TO SHIPPING BILL.
Minority Conference Today "Will De
cide Its Fate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30. A conference
of Democrats and associates of the Popu
list and Silver Republican faith will be
held tomorrow, as a result of the declara
tion yesterday by Mr. Frye that he In
tended to push the consideration of the
ship subsidy bill to the exclusion of all
other business, except by vote of the Sen
ate. This conference will determine the
fate of the bill. If it Is decided to con
tinue a stiff Aght and debate the meas
ure at great length, it will mean defeat
at this session, with the short time re
maining to pass the appropriation bills.
The conference also will take Into con
sideration, the question whether the min
ority will desire to take the responsi
bility of defeating a party measure of the
majority. Some of the opponents of the
hill on the Democratic side feel that If
the Republicans are determined to pass
the bill, the minority should not go far
ther than to state their objections fully
and vote against It, and to let the Re
publicans take the responsibility which
is theirs.
It also develops that no one wants an
extra session, and that one will be avoid
ed If there Is any possible way of doing
so. It Is even said that the Spooner bill
will be passed In order to avoid such ses
sion after March 4. Republican leaders
say that they believe an extra session can
be avoided. They also say that the Dem
ocrats must also decide whether they will
take the responsibility of defeating the
subsidy bill, and if It is demonstrated that
they are willing to take that responsi
bility, then other necessary legislation will
be pressed rapidly to avoid an extra session.

MRS. NATION OUTDONE
ANTHONY, KAN., WOMEN INDULGE
IN SALOON-SMASHING.
Mrs. Sheriff, the Originator of the
Idea. Led. the Crusade Four
"Joints" Demolished.
ANTHONY, Kan., Jan. 30. Mrs. Nation
was outdone here today, when a band of
W. C. T. U women, headed by Mrs.
Sheriff, of Danville, Kan., completely
wrecked the fixtures of four "joints,"
smashing plate-glass windows and mir
rors and turning gallon after gallon of
liquor into the streets. The women, who
were of the best families In Anthony,
were accompanied by their husbands, sons
or brothers, who assured them protection.
No arrests were made, and the band will,
it Is said, start out tomorrow on a tour of
destruction through Harper County,
which Is prolific In saloons.
Mrs. Sheriff, who led today's raid, is un
der hond to appear at Danville In appeal
to answer to a charge of saloon wrecking
placed against her six weeks ago. Mrs.
Sheriff came to Anthony late yesterday,
and worked all night procuring hatchets
and other Implements of destruction, and
It was 2 o'clock this morning before she
had perfected plans for the raid. The
women began their attack shortly after
daybreak, taking the saloon-keepers and
the town officials by surprise. Among the
brigade were two or three schoolgirls, un
der age, whb did some of the most effect
ive smashing; The actual damage to per
sonal property, aside from the liquor de
stroyed, is estimated by the saloon-keepers
at $2000. For a time the whole town
was In an uproar, and. it was feared that
personal violence would result.
The Arst place attacked was situated in
the rear of a drug store, which was forci
bly entered from the rears It contained
6ome costly bar Axtures and a valuable
cash register. Within a few minutes the
women had smashed everything in sight,
but in their hurry to finish this job and go
to other places they overlooked the bulk
of liquor stored away. Half a block down
the street the second scene of joint
smashing was enacted. They found this
saloon locked, but axes were applied and
the whole front was smashed in. Here
their work was more complete. The
building, a great plats-glass mirror and
everything In sight was reduced to the
maximum of the Mrs. Nation Idea. The
proprietor was smashed over the head
with a beer bottle, and his blood mixed
with the flow of liquors over the floor.
The Jolntkeeper w3 struck by the hus
band of one of the women. In quick suc
cession two other places a short distance
down the street were subjected to similar
treatment, the Axtures smashed and all
the liquor turned into the gutter.
Mrs. Sheriff is credited with having
.given Mrs. Nation the Arst idea for a
wrecking crusade. " The saloon-keepers of
Anthony each have a warcroom aside
from their saloon, where a stock of liquor
Is kept. The women did not know this,
and a considerable amount of the prohib
ited liquid Is yet unmolested.
The women then prayed within sight
of the wrflekAce thov had nnrpnrl ftnn
woman. In an anpeal to the Almighty,
asKea tnat ne guiae tnem to other dens
of Iniquity and direct their steps to rum
cursed towns In Kansas. This prayer was
Interpreted to mean that the Anthony
women would extend their crusade, and
word was hurriedly sent over the tele
phone wires to adjacent towns by local
saloon sympathizers, who wished to warn

sist in wiping out "joints." The band
was organized at a mass meeting of

sence. The others agree to follow the

her "bidding at a moment's notice. Mrs.

Dr. Ward Gamble, pastor of the First
Methodist Episcopal Church here, in
dorsed and applauded the drastic methods
adopted by Mrs. Carrie Nation in her
crusade against the saloons of Kansas in
his discourse before a large number of
the most prominent women of Vineland
last night. Dr. Gamble even advised the
women of this city to emulate Mrs. Na
tion's example, and smash all the unli
censed saloons or "speak easles" In Vine
land If the authorities fall to do It. Dr.
Gamble took the ground that, as the laws
of Kansas prohibit saloons, this woman
has the example of Christ as a precedent
In what she Is doing, and that the prin
ciple is Identical. Dr. Gamble was pre
pared for the bar before entering the min
istry. Condemned by W. C. T. U.

"Resolved,. That as members of the
Cambridge W. C. T. U., we deplore ex
ceedingly the attitude of the Kansas
Union, of Enterprise, and deprecate tb
methods adopted for the suppression of
the saloons In those sections. We feel
that Mrs. Carrie Nation and others have
strayed from the paths of the pioneers of
the work, and have deserted the badge of
our allegiance, which stands for purity
and peace, which is our Christian thpught
and pure as the teachings of him whom
we serve."

MEMBER ILLINOIS ASSEMBLY
AFFLICTED WITH CATARRH OF THE THROAT AND LUNG3
CURED BY PERUINA.
0 -.
HON. JOHN J. FURLONG. Member
of the Thirty-fifth General Assem
bly of the State of Illinois, writes of
Peruna as follows:
1353 Osgood St., Chicago, 111.
The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.
Gentlemen "I can safely recom
mend Peruna as a remedy that will
cure all catarrhal troubles.
"It was of great benefit to rne as It
cured me of catarrh' of the throat and
lungs permanently and In a very short
time. I am glad to add my endorse
ment to that of others.' John J. Fur
long. The order In which the symptoms of
chronic catarrh occur are nearly always
as follows:
A cold which hnnRi on longer thnn
nnnnlj a sensitiveness of the air pas
sages, by which one catches cold asni ;
a continual settled cold in the head, throat
or chest; discharges grow thicker and
more offensive, loss of flesh, despondency,
loss of appetite, headache or cough, and
general lassitude.
Now this is about the order In which
symptoms of chronic catarrh make their
appearance, and if the sufferer Is for
tunate enough to And a cure the symptoms
will begin to disappear in exactly the
reverse order. There may be at Arst no
Perceptible improvement in tho earliest
symptoms, while the latter symptoms
show prompt Improvement.
This I Exactly "What Peruna Will Do
In the Care of Chronic Catarrh.
It first Invigorates the system. Increases
the appetite, then the patient begins to
gain flesh, hope takes the place of de
spondency, and all the mischievous symp
toms which the chronic catarrh has pro
duced will disappear one by one in the
reverse order of their appearance.
Cnrcs Made In This Way Are per
manent Cares.
A patient cured by Peruna is no more
he is the kidnaper. Jlmmie Maloney,
formerly Chief of Police In South Omaha,
who is In Joplin, has. however, failed to
recognize the prisoner as Crowe. John
son is light complexioned. He and an
other man named McNeil, who was ar
rested with him,. have been spending gold
freely in Joplin for several days. They
are being held and their photographs have
been sent to various places.
BITUMINOUS COAL SCALE.
Operators and Miners Will Meet at
Colnmbus Today.
COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 30.-The joint con
ference of the bituminous coal operators
and miners will convene at the Board of
Trade Auditorium in this city at 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. It will be composed
of about 200 operators and 800 miners, rep
resenting Western Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois. The question of ad
mitting representatives from Iowa and
Michigan will be determined by the con
ference. The miners are in favor of ad
mitting those states to the agreement,
but their admittance will be opposed by
the Illinois operators. A majority of the
operators are in the city tonight. Confer
ences have been held by the Illinois, In
diana bituminous and the Hocking Val
ley operators. The conferences have been
devoted chiefly to discussion of the de
mands of the miners and the position that
will be taken by the operators in the joint
conference.
The sentiment of the operators is unan
imous not to grant an increase. They say
It will be utterly impossible to concede
any advance on account of the competi
tion from West Virginia, which is not in
cluded in the interstate agreement. West
Virginia Is third among the coal produc
ing states, and the competition of Weot
Virginia coal has been felt in all the
bituminous districts, especially Western
Pennsylvania. During the past year, it
is claimed the sales of West Virginia
coal in the Chicago markets alone have
increased 250,000 tons. Any increase In the
present price of mining would, therefore,
operators say, give their West Virginia
competitors just that much advantage.
The operators appear to be willing to con
cede the present price of mining, but they
will insist as a condition of Its mainte
nance that the miners of "West Virginia
be obtained and that state brought into
the Joint agreement The operators will
oppose the demands of the miners for a
scale upon a run of mine basis and an
adjustment of the differential between
pick and machine mining. The operators
will oppose any change from the old plan.
