REED SMOOT SPEAKS' Mormon Senator Addresses the Senate in Own Behalf HE MAKES A GOOD IMPRESSION Utah .Senator Delivers Long-Expected Address, Being Supported by Senator Diliingham in an Analytical Speech of Evidence Submitted in the Case. I ^Vnshi-i^'cn, Special. ? Senator Reed Sioool's icng expected address to the Senate in defense of his position as Sena!or from Utah, was the featuk of the session. He was supported bv Senator . Diilingham, of Veinj'-ul, in an analytical speech of the evidence, which had been subpolygamy,' ' said Mr. Smoot, "and demneu polygamy in the strongest terms and declared emphatically that he had taken no oath inconsistent with that he had taken as a Senator. "The Senate is entitled to know my personal attitude upon the subject of polygamy," said Mr. Smott, "and upon the subject of loyalty to this government. Upon these two matters I shall express myself brieflly, but with entire candor. " First, I desire to state, as I have repeatedly heretofore, stated to the Senate and to the country, that I am not and never have been a polygamist. I never have had but one wife, I and she is my present wife. 11 There has been a more or less prevalent opinion that the doctrine of polygamy was obligatory upon the members of the Mormon church, whereas, i* truth and fact no such ' obligatory doctrine has ever evisted. The revelation concerning polygamy, as originally made and as always in| terpreted is permissable and not mandatory. As a matter of fact, only a small percentage of the adherents of that faith have ever been polvgamists The vast majority of the adult members of the Church from its foundation to the present time have been monogamists. Part of Religious Faith. "The Mormon people, however, regarding this doctrine, although permissible in character, as part of their religious faith, and when the law was passed denouncing its practice, the execution of the law was resisted on the ground that it was unconstitutional, as being an interference with their religious liberty. Appeals were taken to the highest courts of the land, every phase of the subject was tested in the courts, and the law was upheld. Then the Church adopted the manifesto against polygamy, which was ratified by the genearl conference of the neople. and thereupon | the pratiee of polygamy for the future was abandoned. Ceremonies not Divulged. "Reference lias been made to an alleged treasonable obligation which it is sought to claim is a part of the Mormon endowment ceremonies, The Senate will understand that these? ceremonies are therefore not divulged. They were instituted in the Mormon Church by Jos. Smith, some time prior to his death, and are yet given as part of the temple ceremonies; be-ing of a religious character; they are for the living and for the dead; a a part of the Mormon belief being vicarious performenee of ordinance and ceremonies. i There does not exist in the endowment ceremonies of the Mormon Church the remotest suggestion of hostility or of antagonism to the United States or to any other nation. They are of a purely religious nature, wholly between the person taking ( them and his God, and, as with the ritual of various fraternal organozations, regarded as sacred and secret. < "In closing let me say under my obligation as a Senator that which I have said under oath before the comittee, that I have never taken oath or obligation, religious or otherwise, which conflicts in the slightest degree with mv duty as a Senator or as a citizen. I owe no allegiance to any Church, or other organization, which in any way interferes with ray supreme allegiance to ray country? an allegiance which I freely, fully and gladly give." Prominent Manufacturer Dead. Watcrbury, Conn., Special.?D. S. Plume, treasurer of the Plume & AtI wood Manufacturing Company, and j prominent in the affairs of the American Brass Company, died at his home in this city. He was SS years of age. He leaves one son.

All the old seadogs of League Island agree that the new battleship Tennessee Is destined to experience some misfortune. When the commission pennant was unfurled on the Tennessee, instead of floating out in a long, narrow streamer, it wrapped itsel* around the mast, and continued to do so every time it war unwrapped. The sailors say that this happens rarely, but when it does it forebodes evil. When the battleship Missouri, on which the disastrous turret explosion occurred, went into commission her pennant did the same thing.?Phila-, delphia Record.
