However, he 10 asked permission to go upstairs, to get his overcoat, and see his wife, who he said was quite ill. The officers consented and Driggs went upstairs. He did not return, and after waiting some time one of the officers ascended the stairs. On entering a room on the second floor he found a window open, and on the ground leading from it on the outside footprints were plainly visible. The officers followed the trail. Driggs, who concealed himself in a tunnel not far from his house, after a little time came out and surrendered. He was taken to the marshal's office, and later on was released on his own recognizance.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The members of the Utah Commission have filed with Secretary Noble majority and minority reports of the proceedings of the Commission for the year ended September 1, 1891. The majority report, signed by Messrs. Godfrey, Robertson, Sanders and Williams, says, in regard to the Mormon Church: "In view of the fact that the Mormon Mormons. McClernand recommends TIN PLATE IN OHIO. THE campaign in Ohio seems to have developed into a direct issue on "tin plate." And the question boiled down means simply, are Americans producing tin-plate or are they not? The tin-plate schedule of the McKinley bill went into effect on July 1st of the current year. There were such large stocks purchased by American consumers of tin before the new law became operative that the supply has lasted up to the present time. That is why the large firms engaged in the manufacture of cans cannot give any decided answer to the tin query. Potter and Wrighton, a Boston firm, engaged exclusively in manufacturing articles made of tin, state, in a letter to the National Provisioner of New York, that they have not bought any tin-plate since July 1st. Previous to that date they laid in a stock for six months, which still supplies their demand. But they state they advertized for any part of 50,000 boxes of American plates equal in quality and price to the Eng. lish. They received no replies except some advertising toy plates. Here it is: "Personally appeared before me John E. McCabe, who being duly sworn, deposeth and says that he is the foreman of the galvanizing and tinning departments of the Cincinnati Corrugating Company, and that on Sept 14, 1891, the first Corrugating Company were made under terne plates made by the Cincinnati his supervision, and that the sheets used then and since in coating under affiant's supervision, were of steel rolled by the Piqua Rolling Mill Company; that the pot holding the bath for coating contained three thousand pounds, composed of the usual proportions of pig-tin from California, and American lead; that on Sept. 18, 1891, Major William McKinley, coated in the regular way five sheets of in my presence and that of many others, steel plate, by dipping in the aforesaid pot containing the aforesaid mixture of California tin and American lead; and, furthermore, that all coating done under affiant's supervision since at the works of the Cincinnati Corrugating Company has been done at and with material heretofore described.

THE great National Liberal Federation Congress of England and Wales opened its sessions at Newcastle, England, on the 1st instant. The dispatches contain the substance of its feature of its work is the unanimity proceedings so far. One significant with which a local government scheme was adopted. Another is that the House of Lords was characterized as a serious obstacle to progress, and an anomaly in a country where representative government prevails. Monarchy has been lauded because of its alleged social advantages. Mr. Labouchere claims that this is a fallacy. Monarchy tends to breed snobbism. The tone of a court depends on the character of the monarch. During the lifetime of the Prince Consort, the tone of the court was beneficial to public morality. But during the reigns of George I, George II, and George III, the social influence of their courts was for a hereditary arbiter of social morals is, evil rather than for good. Besides, according to the editor of the Truth, a transparent absurdity. It is in the expense of royalty that Mr. Labouchere sees its inconvenience in England. All told, he says it costs $5,000,000 annually. When William IV died, a new Civil List act was passed. By this the Queen was allowed £365,000 or over $1,900,000 a year. In addition she holds the revenues of the Duchy of Lanc shire, there is the cost of maintaining palaces, amounting to $250,000 a year. Then and a number of houses in which the friends of royalty reside, all of which comes out of the public treasury, and is not included in the Civil List. The Prince of Wales receives from the Duchy of Cornwall $300,000 per annum. In addition he has been voted by Parliament a sum of $250,000 a year, and his wife, the Princess of Wales, gets $50,000 from the same source. The younger sons of the Queen receive each $125,000 a year. Each of the daughters get $30,000 a year. The Empress Frederick of Germany, on the occasion of her riage received $500,000 in one sum, independent of her annual income of Cambridge gets $60,000 a year and from the British treasury. The Duke his two sisters, severally, $25,000 and $15,000 a year. mar Notwithstanding this enormous expense of royalty, the Queen is person. ally popular. The Prince of Wales also commands a certain kind of popularity. He is likened to Charles II, and with some classes is Я favorite. The other children of the Queen, lead quiet and decorous lives. The Duke of Edinburgh is the least popular; he is rich and parsimoneous. Mr. Labouchere sees among the reforms of the future the abolition of the House of Lords and the disestablishment of the Church. But he contends changes. Its abolition is not within the that monarchy will survive all these realm of English practical politics. He thinks the English people do not desire a republic.

And all those who would go with me were those who believed in the warnings and revelations of God; wherefore they did hearken unto my words.

There is no name recorded of the locality of the first settlement, but it is thus described by the great leader, Nephi: "There were beasts in the forests of every kind, both the cow and the ox, and the ass and the horse, and the goat and the wild goat, and all manner of wild animals, which were for the use of men. And we did find all manner of ore, both of gold and of silver and of copper." (I Nephi, 18: 25.) of his danger by the Lord, Nephi took their tents. They left Lamanites in possession of their deserted homes and journeyed north ward, taking with them their flocks of sheep and other animals, and such bousehold goods as their convenience would permit. They addressed themselves without delay to the developing of the resources of the country around them, which was then, as now, very rich in vegetable products and minerals. Nephi says: "And I did teach my people to build buildings; and to work in all manner of wood, and of iron, and of copper, and o brass, and of steel, and of gold, and of into convenient shape for effective and pears which have attracted universsilver, and of precious ores, which were warfare.
