St. Paul Is Not Only the Commercial and Distributing Point of the Northwest, But the Great Producing 1 Center of the State as Well. its Importance as a Manufacturing- City Impressing Itself More and More Upon the Vast Territory Tribu tary to St. Paul. the Boot and Shoe Industry Taken as a Fair Example of What the City Has Quietly Been Accomplishing: in the Past Ten Years. A Manufacturing* Line That Has Grown One Thousand Per Cent in a Decade and Is Now Preparing to Double Its Proportions. Admirable Openings for Tanning* and Other Adjuncts That Quick-Sighted Capitalists Are Already Taking* Advantage of. The fame of St. Paul as the commer cial and distributing center of the North west has served in a measure to obscure the powth of her manufacturing inter ests and give to the outside world the impression that the large wholesale trade having its headqquarters here is the principal reliance of the city. How Incorrect this supposition is can best be seen by a visit to the numerous facto ries and workshops of the Saintly City and an examination of the products they are turning out. Such a tour of Inspection will open theey.es of the man •who has formed the impression that St. Paul has but few manufacturing in dustries, and depends for her prosperity and growth solely upon her magnificent wholesale, commercial and financial In terests. While the part trade has played in the development and growth of St. Paul is not to be disparaged, it is only fair to state that during the past few years another interest has been forging to the front with the same resistless energy that marked the growth of trade in this city. This is the manufacturing inter est. The growth in the way of new in dustries and the enlargement of those already established has been most rapid duriug the past few years, when busi ness throughout the country was most depressed. Causes or Growili. The causes which have led to this re markable growth arc the sriine that will insure its constant iner«?s<j year by year until .St. Paul becomes ajproatmanu facturing city, producing a large pro portion of the manufactured articles demanded by the trade of the North-" west. By thi's it is not meant that every thing needed in the way of manufact ured poods will be made here, for that could not be done profitably, but there are hundreds of things in the manufact ure of which .St. Paul can compete with the whole world. She has the raw ma terials in wood, iron, flax, and a hundred other lines at her door, and the facilities for their rapid, easy and cheap distribution. The people of an empire vaster than the whole United Mates a century ago now look to her for their supplies. A half-century of un tiring effort has given her this gieat trade, a large part of which In certain lines is supplied oy articles manu factured right here in St. Paul. In man ufacturing, as iv commerce, St. Paul builds conservatively and well. No blare of trumpets marks the addi tion of a new industry, and solidity is the tirst thintr that is "expected and may be looked for when a new manufactur ing plant is started. The remarkable development of the boot and shoe, clothing, cigarmaking. wood-working and other industries during the past few years shows that in spite of local and general depression every increase in population In the Northwest has created an additional demand for goods that are either made or jobbed by St. Paul houses. The fact that factories In all these lines have been obliged to in crease their capacity every year iv the past three shows that St. Paul has a territory as distinctively her own for her manufactured products as for the goods distributed by hor wholesale mer chants. In Boots and Shoes. "While every manufacture that has been started in St. Paul in recent years, with few if any exceptions, has been successful, there" is one" line in which the success has been really marvelous. This is the boot and shoe manufacture. Five years ago there were hardly 300 people encaged in that industry: to-day the three principal factories employ about 1,000 people, and what is more to ■ the point and speaks volumes for the city and country, all these people are riven employment every working day in the year. There are no dull seasons • hi the boot aud shoe industry of St. Paul. ~ Thirty years ago the making of boots and shoes in this city was commenced at the very bottom of the ladder, the founder of one of the great factories of to-day himself. working at the bench. His poods gained a reputation that grew and spread as the Northwest developed. The trade was educated to goods of St. Paul manufacture, and year by year all the goods the little factory could turn out found a ready sale. The ' iirst factory was enlarged and re-enlarged until the present time, and now gives employment to nearly 'M 0 hands, and this year will have an output of nearly 12,0110,000. Another factory next in point of age to the one named above is comparatively young, but has met with success be yond the most sanguine hopes of its founders. Five years ago the total out put of this company was under ?200,C00, and employment was given to between fifty and seventy-live people. At the present time 500 hands -are employed and the output for the current year will exceed $1,500,000. And this is not enough to supply the demand for goods of St. Paul manufacture, and next year this factory will be enlarged -at least 50 per cent and its capacity may be doubled. The third large factory, although it has not been in the business so long as the two previously mentioned, already employs over 200 people, and is unable to supply the demand for goods of St. Paul manufacture, and in less than a year the proprietors confidently predict that they will be giving employment to over 500 hands, and turning out nearly $1,500,000 worth of manufactured goods. Au Unlimited Field. St. Paul now ranks gg the tenth city In the manufacture of boots and shoes in the United States, ana is rapidly ad vaiicing to the lirst place. This may leem surprising to those unaqualnted with th<; remarakble advances made by this industry in the past five years, but It is a fact nevertheless, and if the same IWf I rate of growth is kept up during the next nine years, St. Paul will lead the van in the whole country in 1000. Lowell, Lynn, Brockton, and other New England points that have heretofore been looked to by the whole country for boots and shoes are already distanced so far as the trade of the Northwest is concerned, and as this section of the country grows the manufacture of boots and shoes at St. Paul will grow. The field is hers, and she has a class of men In the business who have the ability, the capital, the enterprise, and the reputation not only to keep what they have won, but also to seize and retain business at present out of their hands. "The St. Paul boot and shoe factories are getting control of the Northwestern trade very fast," said Theodore A. Schulze, of Foot, Schulze & Co., yester day. "The finest goods are now made here in competition with Eastern fac tories. Seven years ago it was consid ered unprofitable to manufacture any thing bin coarse goods, but we now find that we can make all lines of fine shoes to fully as good advantage as the coarser grades." Boots and shoes made in St. Paul have gained a great reputation as irood. solid, substantial and well-made goods, and the Northwestern trade prefers them to the same quality made in the East. This is the statement repeated to the writer at every one of the factories visited, and one of the causes given for it by It. 11. Stevens, of C. Gotzian & Co., is that every case of goods sent out from St. Paul factories carries a guarantee with it. Long experience in catering to the wants of the people of that large sec tion of the United States tributary to St. Paul has furnished the manufact urers of this city with avast fund of in formation as to the articles of footwear demanded by the climate, and this they have not been slow to seize and utilize. The lumbermen of Minnesota, Wiscon sin, Oregon and Western Montana, the miners of these states, as well as the farmers here, have had their wants sup plied by the St. Paul factories, as those of no Eastern city could possibly have done. Mechanic* Prefer St. Paul. Can the boot and shoe manufactories of St. Paul compete with those of the East as to prices? This is a question that will occur to the local merchant and to the observer about as quickly as he Is told that boots and shoes are made in St. Paul in large quantities. It is an important question, and one that was answered by every manufacturer in the city in the af firmative. The living expenses of a man iv St. Paul are less than they are in Chicago, and the low cost of comfortable life combined with other conditions, make it possible for the St. Paul factories to obtain the finest expert mechanics and operatives for less monej than they will work for in New Enjr land. One of the reasons for this is that the St. Paul factories run the year around. They are in their own terri tory aud orders are coining in without regard to season, whereas the New England manufacturers send their men out twice a year to secure orders, running their factories only long enough to till them. The New England shop runs in two seasons: the St. Paul factories know no difference and afford their employes steady labor. "Do you have any difficulty in secur ina operatives," was a question asked one of the proprietors of one of the largest factories. "We do not," was the answer, "and we never get h good workman West who wants to go back. There is some thing in the country that he likes, and he remains." (irow Hi of a Decade. The magnificent boot and shoe-man ufacturing industry which has been built up in St. Paul did not rise in a day. It was built on solid foundations, and foi that reason is capable of almost any amount of expansion. It is the one line of manufacturing in which New England cities were only a few years ago deemed to be solidly intrenched. They could manufactured more cheaply than even the cities of the Middle states, and no thought was given to the infant shoe industries of this far-away Northwestern metropolis. The shoe manufacturers of the East know that St. Paul is a shoe manufacturing centre without glancing at the census. The fact that the Northwest has grown while the trade of the Eastern boot aud shoe men has not grown with it satisfies them on this point. The development of the boot and shoe manufacture in this city during the past ten years is the best evidence of its success. In 1881 St. Paul had but one factory, and this but a small one. con fined almost entirely to the making of coarser grades of goods demanded by this section of the country. The follow ing table shows the number of men em ployed in ISSI and at present, the total wages paid in each of those years and the total output: Value No. Fac- No Hands Ain't Paid Total Year, torles.

There is an industry that stands very close to the boot and "shoe factories of this city, that could be carried on more profitably in St. Paul than perhaps any other city in the west. It Is the tan ning and finishing of leather. At the present time there is not a tannery in the city, although a strong company has just been organized to construct and operate one. That this will be a finan cial success goes without saying, but the good worK shouiu not stop when it is in operation. There Is room for a dozen more larger than this one is de signed to be. At the present time the boot and shoe and all other industries, using large amounts of leather, arc obliged to go to SAINT PAUL MINN., WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 7, 1891. Milwaukee and Chicago for it in spite of the fact that the raw product, the hides are produced in greaterquantities here than in Milwaukee, and the addi tional fact that the baric needed in the business can be laid down In St. Paul cheaper than it can in either Milwau kee cr Chicago. Milwaukee has no less than eleven large tanneries, and is the greatest tanning center in the West. The bark used there is obtained from the almost inexhaustible forests of Northern Wisconsin. This bark coun try is tapped by roads leading directly to St. Paul, thus making it possible to cam- on not only the tanning of hides produced at the slaughterhouses in this section, but also the hides imported from other places. Here Is a great de mand for leather in manufactures— a demand far greater than exists in Milwaukee. The cheap bark so near at hand would make tanning an exceed ingly profitable industry in St. Paul if all the hides had to be imported, and it would be doubly profitable when they as well as a market for the finished product are right at hand. All Industries Profitable. This outline contains the main fea tures in the rise and growth of the boot and shoe manu facture in St. Paul. How it has grown from the time when one of the present great factories contained but one or two cobblers down to the present time, when this factory alone demands a building covering half a block and filled with 900 employes. These industries have been successful to a wonderful degree, but their success is largely due" to the exceptionally favorable location of St. Paul, although it must be conceded that business tact and ability of the highest order have been at the helm in all these factories. When they started it must be remembered that they had to pay more for their labor, fight for a show to demonstrate the value of their goods, and besides meet the low prices of the New England manufacturers. It was done, and to-day the St. Paul man who can visit the great shoe factories of the city and not feel a glow of pride that such an Industry is here to stay de serves banishment. But the success that has been achieved in the manufacture of boots and shoes in St. Paul is not an isolated case by any means. There are other manu factories just as large and just as suc cessful in operation, and their number will surprise many people, and what is more to the point, there are hundreds of opportunities for small factories and workshops open in St. Paul. The shoe manufacturing industry was commenced —very humbly In this city, but the man who started it went to the top of the ladder and made his fortune. The same opportunities are open to-day without one-half of the hardships or the dif ficulties that surrounded the founding of the first shoe factory in St. Paul. The fact is, St. Paul is the distributing center of an empire so vast that most of its inhabitants do not appreciate it. St. Paul jobbers prefer to sell goods of St. Paul manufacture, and they generally do so whenever they can, and this helps to create a demand. This tendency to help one another that is being displayed by the wholesalers of St. Paul cannot be eulogized too highly. It is a good plan for all St. Paul mer chants to help push the products made here. There Is no surer road to a com mon prosperity. WANTS of all kinds are quickly answered through the Globe.

Chicago Park Commissioners Give ; Cause for Fretting. Chicago, Oct. 6.— The Inter Ocean this morning says that a petition was filed by the West side park commis sioners in the circuit court of Cook county late last evening, the ob ject of ' which is to restore the record burned in the great fire of - 1871, by which the park commissioners ac quired the lands for boulevards and parks in the West division, and which also gives them jurisdiction to exclude for a distance of 400 feet outside of boulevards and parks all horse racing, gambling, etc. The restoration of this record would affect the grounds now occupied by the Gar fie Id Park Racing association, and would also affect the abstract firms of Cook county very se riously, for the reason that they have certified titles to property amounting to millions abut ting upon the boulevards without any reference to the rights and duty of the park commissioners to exclude build ings for a distauce of fifty feet from any of the boulevards. MRS. FAIR'S BULLIONS. Two Wills May Make Matter.? In teresting. Mall Sa.n Francisco, Oct. 6.— The matter of admitting to probate the will of '■ the late Mrs. Theresa Fair came up yester day before Judge Coffee. Attorney W. S. Goodfellow created considerable surprise by stating that he repre sented Charles Fair, -who had informed him that he believed that there was in existence a later will than the one offered for probate. He asked for an order to allow him, in conjunction with the executors of the estate, to examine the box in a safe deposit where Mrs. Fair kept her papers. The order was made as requested.- The will was ad mitted to probate, in spite of the state ment made by Mr. Goodfellow. K. V. Day, who managed the estate for Mrs. Fair, said that the whole estate in the city was worth about $4,000,000. A CURT DECISION". California Supreme Court Stands on Its Dignity. San Francisco, Oct. Attorney General Hart Ib-day filed in the su preme court a lengthy petition for a writ of review to test the validity of the present grand jury. This is : in connection with the Chute case. The court ruled that the province of the supreme court was to decide cases and not answer questions, and that a person under indfotment was the only one to question the legality of the grand Jury. Such person could "apply for a writ of prohibition. The attorney gen eral's application was dismissed. He thinks this . establishes the legality of the grand jury. Steamship Arrivals. ...

Rey del Rey and Pessara Run a Dead Heat at Jerome. Louisville Event Won by Curt Gunn— Good Races at Chicago. Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 6.-Nature showed up a rare autumn, a little too cool, however, for harness horses to beat their best. All night and morning were busy men and teams working on the track, which by noon was in good shape, not lightning fast, but safe and of the footing that horses revel in. Early in the morning rumors were cur rent that there was a hitch in the Direct-Hal Pointer match; that Monroe Salisbury, owner of the black stallion, would not start his horse and had not worked him out yesterday, having in view a race for to-day. The rumors found little credence with the people, and by Ip. m. fully 12,000 were on the grounds. The two-year-old trot and the 2:16 pace were about through, and the crowd was becoming impatient for the ap pearance of the champions, when Pres ident Ijams mounted the starter's stand and announced that Mr. Salisbury had declined to start Direct; that the association had offered tiie money In good faith, and was prepared to pay it to the winner of the race; that Mr. llamlinc was ready to start his horse, and rather than disappoint the people in attendance would send him a mile against his record of 2:09, a .i. Salisbury Consents. At 4:80 Geers, behind Hal Pointer, apDeared on the track, but before lie had finished warming up, Proident Ijams announced that Mr. Salisbury had changed his mind and would start his stallion. At 5 o'clock the two pacers scored up for the word, Pointer having the pole. After several scores the word was given, with Direct at Pointer's saddle. These positions were well maintained to the quarter in thirty-live seconds. On they went to the half in 1 :<s& and it was seen that Geers had mapped his campaign to beat the black stallion in the home stretch and that sucli a move was to Starr's satisfaction. As a double team they passed the three-quarters in 1:42, and then the drive began. The lush descended on the stallion and gamely he answered it. Pointer, as ever, was maintaining a slight lead, and, answering every stroke of the stallion, held the heat. When within 150 feet of the wire Starr, with a magnificent drive,brushed Direct with a terrific burst of speed onto him, carrying him off his feet and Direct passed him, the last quarter hav ing been done in 31 seconds, the last eighth in lti}£ seconds. Pools now sold Direct $50, Pointer $40. In the second heat Geers, knowing that he could not win the battle in the last quarter against the phenomenal speed burst held by Direct, changed his tactics, and in scoring brought Pointer down to the wire at A Heartbreaking Gait. The word was given to a splendid start, and locked they went to the i uar ter in 34 seconds, Pointer making Direct attend strictly to business; to the half in 1:07, and then the tight began. With every nerve drawn to its utmost tension the game horses fought it out. Down the third quarter the pace was killing, and victory could only be to the one that could live it through. No en deavor was made to save the horses for the linal brush. The battle was on, and was to be fought out— endurance and gameness would tell the tale, at all haz ards. In 32 seconds they were to the third quarter. The lash then began to fall upon ihe stallion, and the two drivers, using every endeavor and art known to the profession, urged on the Hying steeds. Slowly but surely Hal Pointer closed up on the stallion. At the dis tance stand he is at his neck, half way home he is even, and so they remain to within fifty feet of the wire, when Geers rallies Pointer, and he goes uuder the wire winner by a nose. Pandemonium broke loose. Cheer after cheer greeted the victor. Dark ness came and the race goes over till to-morrow, when sensational time will be certain. This evening the inward ness of Mr. Salisbury's action comes to light. Direct was short of work for a bruising race. By delaying the start, the vace could not be completed to-day, and the two heats would serve to put Direct in shape for to-morrow. Tin- Minor ICveuttf.

Boston, Mass., Oct. 6.— Cable ad vices from Russia received at the Jew ish colony in the North end say that en tire states are being deserted on ac count of the famine. They also assert that a new law has been made forbid ding the sowing of seed this fall, so that the acreage next year will not be suffi cient for the home supply, still less for export. So great is the distress that people have been driven to pillaging each other, first setting tire to villages and then robbing the inhabitants. By the united charities of the government and people a biscuit day is allowed every individual in the famine dis trict. The distress is a greater menace to the government than all the efforts of the nihilists. The famine may cause a revolution where love of liberty has tailed. Aid is being sent in by the Hol land Jews and nihilist societies of America. The latter have sent $5,300. The Stamp <>i Humanity. St. Pbtkbsbubs, Oct. 6.— The Grash danin announces that the officers of the imperial guard have decided not to drink champagne at any of the regi mental banquets, and to contribute the money which would, in the usual course of events, have been so spent, to the peasants of the famine-stricken dis tricts of Russia. All classes of citi zens here, following the exam ple of the czar, who has de cided that no court balls will be given during the coming season and that the money usually spent for this purpose shall be devoted to the relief of the sufferers by the famine in this country, have resolved to abandon all entertainments during the winter and to contribute the money thus saved to tirt*l'und for alleviating the distress of the famishing people. Most of the pub lic officials announce their intentions to devote a certain percentage of . their salaries to the same pur pose; workmen have decided to give a proportion of their humble wages, and even children will offer their little savings/ Collections are to be taken up on every feast day in all the churches. The stream of relief is coming through wide channels, but the system of distribution, it is claimed, is very defective. The press of St. Petersburg denounce the merchants and members of the no bility for seeking profit from their stores of corn, while the poor peasants are starving. They make a strong ap peal to the government to remove the edict prohibiting the export of rye, and substitute therefor a heavy tax on the exportation of all cereals. Reports from the Baku district and elsewhere are to the effect that thousands of persons are dying of starvation. St. Pktkusih hu, Oct. C— The desti tute peasantry in the district of Bko pinoare subsisting almost wholly udoh bread made of stitchwort, and even that is beginning to fail. In the province of Samara, in tiie eastern part of Russia, the government relief for tho starving people hr.s been restricted to a pound and a nail of bread daily to each person. DEATH OF W. H. SMITH. The Conservative Leader a Vic tim of Gout. London, Oct. 6.— Rt. Hon. William Henry Smith, first lord of the treasury, warden of the cinqueports and the gov ernment leader in the house of com mons, who has been ill for some time past, suddenly suffered a relapse this morning and died this afternoon. Mr. 'Smith made favorable progress toward recovery until yesterday, when he be came worse and suffered a great deal of 1 pain, owing to the reoccurrence of gout. This morning Mr. Smith's condition be came critical and he died at 3 p. m. Mr. Smith, who was one of the representa tive business men of England, is popu larly reputed to have left a fortune of about 510.000.000. Rt. Hon. Arthur J. Balfour, member of parliament for East Manchester and chief secretary for Ireland, will succeed the late Mr. Smith as Conservative leader in tho house of commons, if the influence of the powerful Carlton club and the opinion of the Conservative party, as a whole, rules in the decision to be made by Lord Salisbury. On the other hand, if the negotiations now pending for a reconstruction of the cabinet, based on the absorption of the Liberal-Unionists, are effected, Rt. Hon. George .J. Goschen. chancellor of the exchequer, will claim the leadership. An intimate friend of Mr. Goschen states that Lord Salisbury, during a critical period in the history of the *o alition between the Conservatives and the Liberal-Unionists, gave the written assurance that Mr. Goschen should have the leadership of the Conservative party in the house of commons in the event (then a possibility, owing to Mr. Smith's state of health and the rumor that he was about to be raised to the peerage) of the retirement of the first lord of the treasury from that position. Mr. Gladstone has wired the follow ing message of condolence to the rela tives of Mr. Smith: "1 have received with grief the news of Mr. Smith's death. I shall long retain a recollection of his kindly nature, line qualities and distinguished devotion to the public service.'' Air. Smith was born in 1825. lie was edu cated at the Grammar school.

Wurtembcrc Will Take Up With a New Kuler. Stkttoart, Oct. o.— The king of Wurtemberg died at 7 o'clock this morning. He had been ill for some time past, and yesterday his condition be came so critical that the last rites of tho church were- administered to him. Dur iug the night his condition became worse, and his physicians stated that he could live but a short time. Karl I, king of Wurtemberg, was born March ti, 18S3, and ascenied the throne at the death of his father, King Welhelm I, on June 25, isi;4. On July 13. 1846, he mar ried the (hand Duchess Olga, daughter of the late Emperor Nicholas 1. of Rus sia. Prior to the year 1805, Wurtem berg was a grand duchy, but by the peace of Presburg it was erected into a kingdom. The heir to the throne is Prince Wil helm, who will be Wilhelm 11. He is a nephew of the late king, being tho son of his sister Catherine and his cousin Frederick. The new king presided at a cabinet council held here to-day. The landstande, or "estates." of the realm will shortly be called together to take .action on certain matters. In all of the streets of the city the people have draped their houses with mourning em blems as a mark of sorrow lor the death of the king. Lo\i>o.v, Oct. G. — According to the St. James Gazette there has been dan ger recently lliat the Americans who gained such influence at the court of vVurte m berg some time ajco would re sume their sway, in which case the late king would have been forced to abdi cate had not Queen Olea undertaken to prevent a recurrence of tbe scandals. The king, since that time, according to the Gazette, has been practically a pris oner in his apartments, as it was feared that he would escape from Stuttgart and go to Paris, which, the same paper concludes, would probably have re sulted in a scandal or a catastrophe. A proclamation signed by the new kins and ail the ministers has been issued." It announces the accession of Wilhelm 11., nephew of King Karl 1., to the throne of Wurtemberg. King Wil belm promises to maintain intact the con stitution of tin: country. He promises to preserve the constitution, protect religion and to be the friend and helper of the poor and weak and the zealous protector of the rights of all. In this proclamation the king also promises to till his position as a German prince, with due regard to the treaties which have been the founda tion of the German fatherland, and ex presses a determination to make the moinotion of his country's prosperity the highest aim of his life. - Decrees have been promulgated summoning the diet of the kingdom to assemble on Oct. 23. . Correspondents' Views. London*. Oct. 6.— The Times' Paris correspondent says it learns that the government is only waiting for the as semblage of the chamber of deputies to ascertain the feeling in regard to the matter before pressing the negotiations, already far advanced, for a formal treaty of alliance with Russia. The Standard's dispatch from Vienna says the Roumanian army is strong enough to prevent the advance of any Russian force to the river Pruth until Austria has demobilized her army. 4£bA WOBD u^S^^^l Keens you before tli9 ;*^||s^^ public through THE GLOBE NO. 280.

The Vile Attacks Insure His Election— McKinley Loses the Toss. Salt Lake City, Oct. o.— At to-day's Mormon conference a lengthy set of resolutions were adopted relative to the statement made by a majority of the Utah commission in a recent report to the secretery of the interior, which, the resolutions set forth, made many un truthful statements concerning the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints and the attitude of its members in relation to political affairs, etc. The j general conference, in these resolu tions, deny the assertion of the commis sion that the church dominates its mem bers in political matters, and that ' church and state are nnited. Whatever appearance there may have been in the past of union of church and | state, tho cause was, say the resolu- tions, that those holding ecclesiastical authority were elected to civil office by tbe popular vote. There is no founda tion for the statement that church and state are united In Utah, or that the leaders of the church dictate to mem bers in political matters. No coercion or any other influence whatever of an ecclesiastical nature has been exercised on us by our church leaders in reference to which political party we shall join, and we have been and are perfectly free to unite with any or no political party as we may individ ually elect. The People's party has been entirely and finally dissolved, and our fealty henceforth will be to such national political party as seems to us best suited to the perpetuity of a Re publican government. The resolutions further add that the elders of the conference do not believo there has been any Polj gaillOllM M:i i if ;!-.<• solemnized among the Mormons for fi long time, and denounce tbe statements that convey the idea that such mar riages have been made as false. They protest against perversions of fact,prin ciple and intent contained in the report of tbe commission, and declare that the manifesto or President Woodruff for bidding future plural marriages was adopted at last October's conference in all sincerity and good faith, and that there is every reason to believe It has been carried out in let ter and spirit. The conference appeals to press and people to accept its united declaration and protest; to give It pub licity and aid in disseminating truth, that falsehood may be refuted and jus tice done to people continually maligned and almost universally misunderstood. Following this a declaration Bigned by President Woodruff, George <.}. Cannon and Joseph .Smith was adopted, saying the commission's report, of polygamous marriages was utterly with out foundation in truth, and repeating in the most solemn manner the declara tion of President Woodruff at the last general conference that there had been DO plural marriages during the period named; that polygamy had not been taught, and that the practice had been strictly forbidden. The Salt hake Tribune (Gentile) says the conference to-day resolved itself into somewhat of a political meeting. Tbe most prominent men in councils of the church delivered addresses. The commissioners' report, says the Trib une, has stirred Morrnondom to its deptlis and the leaders, in an endeavor to counteract the influence report wili bave on congress, when their lung cherished object of making Utah a state is pre sented, are moving heaven and earth. The Tribune asserts that the language Of the speakers was such as to leave no doubt that the division on party lines was made under direction of the church, ami that its ultimate object was tv achieve statehood.
