committee still retains a lingering hope that he way may yet secure action upon his anti mormon bilk he is not certain but merely hopeful that speaker reed will give his bis committee a day for the consideration of some borne of its measures if the speaker shall do this the mormon bill which lies nearest to mr heart will be the first taken up there is little if any probability that mr wish will be gratified speaker reed autocratically decides what measures shall and what shall not come up there is nothing in the territories committee that he is especially interested te in and if there were he dislikes mr struble so intensely that he be would not permit him to enjoy the personal triumph in getting it through no one knows that better than the iowa representative and it is for this reason that he is not over sanguine of having his committee called senator edmunds tells me ine that he be will push the anti mormon legislation next session if the opportunity offers but this is a very remote probability the next session will be too limited to satisfactorily dispose of the force bill the appropriation bills and a few others of prime importance to justify congress in passing utah legislation in which not a half dozen members feel a direct interest the indications are that the mormon bills like the force bill and the salt lake public building are dead for this congress at least

sai deven now the london press only reprints summaries of investigations reported by the british papers yet these are enough to show the terrible outlook already the dread disease known as famine fever words which call up such sinister memories in all old enough to remember 1847 has made its appearance in the barony of Clona killy which is composed of rough coast land between kinsale and skibbereen ereen one death has occurred and numerous prostrations prost rations have been caused by eating diseased potatoes of the people in this district nearly one half will be entirely without food by the middle of september and the gravest fears are entertained that before that date an ala epidemic of famine fever or english cholera will become fastened upon the country the potatoes are so badly diseased that aan the pigs are injured by eating them in the district round about youg hal including the notorious estate the farmers are plowing all the potato land up with the intention of planting cat cabbages bages in the hope of providing some sort of food for the winter these are only illustrations chosen at random from the whole country side thus far nothing has been done here or elsewhere in england for that matter e except languidly to dig discuss icuss the sub eject act but a few weeks time will see it t occupy the principal place in public c talk and thought city school
