The Utah Commission has forwarded to the Secretary of the Interior a report of its opera tions and proceedings for the year ending Sep tember 1,1800. ' : After reviewing the elections held in Utah since their last report, the Commission say: During the year there has been frequent ex pression of the hope that the church would, in some authoritative and explicit manner, de clare in favor of the abandonment of poly gamy, or plural marriage, as one of the saving doctrines or teachings of ihe church, but no such declaration has been made. There is lit tle reason for doubting so complete is the con trol of the church over its people, that if such adcclaration weremade by those in authority, it would be accepted and followed by a largo majority of the membership of the so-called Mormon Church, and a settlement of themuch discussed "Mormon question" would soon be reached. On the contrary, in all the teaching in the Tabernacle and the church organs, every ef fort of the Government to suppress this crime is still denominated ns a persecution and those charged with ferreting out and prosecuting the guilty are denominated as persecutors of the Saints. , , The church seems to grow more united from day to day under these teachings. At the Gen eral Conference of the church held at Salt Lake City in April last, Wilford Woodruff, a disfranchised Polygamist, was chosen Prophet Seer and Rcvelntor ami President of the Church of Jems Christ of Latter Day Saint in all the world," the first time since the death of John Taylor in 1887 that that olllce has been filled. At the same time George Q. Cannon was chosen as "First Councillor of the First Presidency," and Lorenzo Snow as "President of theTwelve Apostles," allot' them being dis franchised polygamists. . The Council of the Twelve Apostles was completed by filling all vacancies. A large portion of the twelve apostles and the high dignataries of the Churcn are polygamists, and all are reputed to be open believers iu thedoc trine. . Indeed, it is believed that no one can be promoted to office in the Church unless he professes a belief in it ns a fundamental doc trine. It is the opinion of the Commission that nothing but a wholesome fear of the penalties of the law leads them to even make a pretence of obedience to it, and that there has never been any change in the gospel ordinances. The Commission is in receipt of reports from its registration officers which enumerate forty male persons, who, it is believed, have entered into the polygamic relation in their several precincts since the June revision in 1889. Crediting them with one plural wife each would give eighty-two persons thus reported as entering into the relation forbidden by law, and said to be forbidden by the church author ities. The belicfis also expressed thatonlyasniall proportion of polygamous marriages are re ported, as many of the registrars are members of the Mormon Church. The Commission recommends that the pow ers of the Commission be so enlurged as to authorize and enable it to issue instructions, which shall be binding upon the registrars of its appointment in the performance of their legal duties. ' . The report also recommends the enactment of a law similar to the Idaho test oath law, "Believing that it would do more to put an end to the teaching and practice of polygamy than has been accomplished by the partial en forcement of existing laws." In conclusion the commission reports what it said in its last report that in this matter the Government and Coneress should take no backward or even wavering step, but should continue the active and vigorous enforcement of the laws and the improvement by the amendment of such as would make them more effective, and by enacting such other laws as experience may show to be wise and more ef ficacious to accomplish the desired end. 100 NEGROES POISONED. Serlons Termination of u Revival Meet lng In Alabama. . One hundred negroes were poisoned near Collirine, Dallas county, Ala. Eight of them have died. The Jatest news from the neigh borhood is to the effect that many are danger ously ill, and their death is hourly expected. A big revival meeting has been going on a week at a negro church near the little town of Collirine, which is in a remote section of Dal las county, some twenty miles from Selma. The meeting was to close last Sunday, and it was decided to give a grand dinner to all who attended. There was plenty of food. One course of the dinner consisted of barbecued pork, a liberal supply of which was pro vided. There were not enough tables and fishes to feed the entire crowd at once, or the fatalities would have been much greater. Soon after those who ate at the first table fin ished, they complained of feeling sick, and in a lew moments several of them were suffering severely. They decided that it was the pork that made them sick, and no more pork was eaten. ' : All the physicians in the neighborhood were summoned, and at once pronounced the sick ness the result of poison. The barbecued pork was examined, and the physicians found traces of arsenic in it. Everything possible was done by the physicians, but two children died in a short time. Next day, six grown persons four women and two men died in agony. No less than twenty others were in a critical con dition and expected to die at last accounts. An investigation is being made by the coroner. The negroes in the neighborhood are much alarmed, believing there is an enemy in their midst who is determined to destroy them. " AN EMBEZZLER ROBBED. .

KILGOBE USES HIS BOOT An Exciting Scene in the House of Representatives. : . 1,1 " . The Big Texan Kicks Down a Door and Injures Governor Dingley A Wild Flight to Kcape Being Counted. There was a scene of excitement on tho Re publican side of the House . of Representa tives. The Virginia election case was the un finished busino s,but the House itself was en gaged in the technical proceeding of trying to approve the journal. The Democratic mem bers were endeavoring in every way to pre vent tho consideration of the election case, and, in pursuance of this policy, almost all of them left the hall to break a quorum on the question of approving the journal. A call was ordered, which brought in a number of Democrats, and a yea and nay vote was being taken on a motion to dispense with further proceedings under the call, when the Demo cratic members again began to decamp. Mr. Burrows called the attention of the Speaker to the fact and asked if the members present could not be obliged to remain. The Speaker replied that the rules were intended to secure this end. He added that he did not see whjr they were not observed. Accordingly, the assistant doorkeeper, Mr. Houk, directed all of the doors leading into the hall to be locked. Hardly had this been done before Representative Kilgore, of Texas, presented himself at the door at the Speaker's left hand and sought to go out into the lobby. He found that the door was locked and the doorkeeper in charge. Mr. Hayes, refused to unlock it "Unlock that door," demanded the stalwart Texan. The doorkeeper moved not, whereupon Mr. Kilgore gave a sudden and vigorous kick, and the frail baize structure flew open and Mr. Kilgore strode out. He was followed in about the same fashion by Representatives Crain, of Texas; Cumming", of New York, and Cole man, of Louisiana, who in tnrn forced the lock open without opposition from the door keepers. At the moment Mr. Kilgore drove the door flying wide open. Representative Dingley, of Maine, was approaching from the other side. The door struck him with full force in the face, bruising his nose badly.- For a time it was feared, and so 'generally reported, that the bone had been broken, but this was found not to be the case upon examination. Representative Coleman, of Louisiana, ex plains that he meant no disresnect to the House or to Speaker Reed in forcing an exit from the hall.' He felt compelled to leave, but upon his first refusal by the doorkeener he returned to his desk. Later, he saw that Representative Crane, of Texas, had no diffi culty in getting out, and believingthat hewas bei ne made the victim of uniust treatment Mr. Coleman made a second application that the door be opened for him, and receiving a second -refusal, forced it open with his knee. As soon as he bad transacted the business which called him out, he returned and took ins seat again. DISASTERS AND CASUALTIES. Texas fever has broken out among the cat tie near Elberon, Iowa.
