CHANCES FOR BRITISH - INVASION.
How Foreign Troops Might be Massed
Upon Our1 Border.
IN TIMK of PEACE PEEPAEE for WAR
How - Dulutta, St.. Paul, Mlnneauolls,
Chicago, and Other Large Cities'
are Exposed.
Washington, May 2. Some time ago
the house committee on militia made a
report, in which the chairman, Mr. Cat
ting, introduced some statements of a
sensational character, in" view- of the
then strained relations existing between
this country and Great Britain over the
Behring sea controversy. " Mr. Cutting
made the" remarkable statement that
Great Britain was able to place, within
forty days, an army of 100,000 men in
the midst of the great wheat ' producing
section of this country. He elaborated
this statement with the greatest detail,
showing just where the. British soldiers
would be drawn from, and- where they
would be concerntrated so as to be ready
to strike at Duluth, St. Paul and Min
neapolis, and - within -easy -reach - of
Chicago and other large cities. Mr.
Cutting's statements were so remarkable
that part of them are given verbatim.
He said: "Great Britain, if uninter
rupted, could place within forty days an
army of 100,000 men in the midst
of the great - wheat - . producing - sec
tion of our country. She has in India,
according to the - latest - advices, 72,408
English soldiers, and the native " Indian
regular army of 109,000 infantry, 21,700
cavalry, 2,000 artillery and 1,411 British
officers. For the service of these she has
there 10,336 horses and 318 field, guns.
From Calutta to Vancouver via Singa
pore, steaming at about thirteen knots
an. hour 'and allowing one day's stop at
Singapore and Yokohama ior coalings
twenty-eight days is all that is required.
For the rail journey, from Vancouver to
Winnipeg, allowing margins for delays,
the time would not exceed eight days,
making in -all thirty-six days. -At the
end of which time' an army-' of veteran
troopjr from -India, '-English troops in
part, and partly native with English
officers, can be moving' on Duluth, St.
Paul and Minneapolis." He entered into
detail respecting the dangers of such inva
8ionWd showed how. difficult it'; would
fee for this government,' under such cir
cumstances, to -f eed its own troops when
the .wheat, fields-, of ! Dakota, Minnesota
and' Manitoba should be ia 4be handof
the same nation which now controls the
output of the wheat crop of India. In
addition to the. wheat fields, the lumber
regions and the ore beds of the north
west, the entire output of which ' would
be controlled by an army of occupation
moving from Winnipeg' south' into; the
United States and thus cutting the
Northern Pacific railroad, Great- Britain
would, by means of her light-draft gun
boats', have 'control of the great1 lakes
and thus have an uninterrupted water
communication, except' when .the rice,!of
winter prevented, between the left' wing
of the army of occupation of the north
west resting at Duluth and the right
wing of the army of the northwest with
its right resting probably on lake Erie.
This army -would : be composed of the
troops of the home garrisons in the
united kingdom and Of levies from Ber
muda and Jamaica and all the' militia
and volunteers of Canada." . But little
was said concerning the matter " at the
time, but the senate committee has now
acted favorably .uponthe .proposition to
establish. two J additional 'military, posts
on the northern frontier, to be determ
ined by, the1 secretary Aof ,- One af
them will probably be prt Lake Champ-,
31iejother, it ii ipM4;wllbe
put somewhere on Paget sound.' -It is
not the intentipncof , those who have
most strongly favored' 'the project that
extensive fortresses' shalT be built, but
merely that the poeta shall be at availa

, Hill or Cleveland. .
New York; May 2. There are many
New Yorkers who think that when Col.
Henry - Watterson has killed off Cleve
land as a possibility he will spring Car
lisle upon the country as its only sure
salvation. " The exact date when-all this
will happen is not known, but maybe
posterity will find it oat. So much has
been said recently about "going west"
for a democratic candidate for president
that there may have been a tendency to
overlook the latent , strength which
Cleveland possesses among the people of
his party in the west. Is it a small
matter for instance, that nine-tenths of
the delegates to the Minnesota state
democratic convention' were given iron
clad instructions to vote for Cleveland as
the choice of the state? Or is there any
significance in the fact that the leading
Gray organ of Indiana announced that
henceforth Gov. Gray's supporters will
support Cleveland as their first choice?
It would be idle to deny that Mr; Cleve
land's strength' before the people is be
coming more manifeet as the convention
approaches. , Conversely, the weakness
of Gov. Hill as a popular man is growing
more evident daily. . The politicians in
a national campaign cannot get very far
away ; from the people.' In the west
especially there are few political ma
chines that are stronger than the dod-
ular will. Hence, when the politicians
begin to put state delegations on record
as favoring Cleveland for president, it is
merely ; popular ' sentiment - speaking
through the politicians.

New Yobk, May 2. Based upon a
w.indy cablegram from London, the sen
sational press "of this cityi was again
filled yesterday with forage for scandal
hunters, in the shape of explanations
concerning Millbanks' last duel "with a
Frenchman." The only truths gleaned
from the stuff show that it was not,
positively,1 the Due de1 Morny;vwith
whom : the alleged fight .'occurred ; nor
had the meeting any connection .with
the Dray ton-Borrowe scandal. That a
duel took place at all, as described, - is
very much : doubted. ; The identity of
"the Frenchman'! has not been fixed.

Remarkable Results of Their Pioneer
Co-operation in Utah.
8BRVET 'OF THE MOHMON FCTIU4B
Another Generation. Most l'asg Before
htatehnod Can be Trusted to
the People.
Sai.t Lake City, May 2. April 30th '
and May 1st, 18S)2, will pass into history
as memorable days in "Utah. Thirty
nine years after its inception the can-
stone of the 'Mormon ' temple at Salt
Lake- City has been laid. - The record of
mormon isin since this huge religious
edifice waB' begun by Brigbam Young a
generation ago is of great interest. In
the erection of the temple 13,000,000 has
been spent. Viewed solely as a religious '
sect the "latter-day saints have had a
tenacity' of purpose and a-virility in
action that have ' produced marvellous '
results. 'Apart from their peculiar -rites,'
their belief in polygamy and their -frequent
conflict with the United States
laws,' their pioneer labors in the devel- -
op men t Of Utah have had remarkable
results. On the completion of its great
temple, mormonism' doubtless takes an
inventory of the present and a survey of
the future. Most of its pioneer leaders
are' gone and a majority of the younger1
prophets' desire no more conflicts with
the gentiles; ' The territory has largely
passed' under the control of men of
American eentimeht."'- The suppression .
of polygamy by law is no longer openly ' .
resisted; But the mormon sentiment is
still the' ruling force in Utah, and those
who say it is dead are superficial inves
tigators. ' Another generation may have
to come and go be'fore'the American peo
ple will feel safe in intrusting sovereign
statehood 1 to ' Utah. Meanwhile the
mormons will.', worship peacefully in
their great temple at Salt Lake, their
harmless eymbolic rites being freely tol
erated by a government that is bound ta.
suppress polygamy.
