A OKEAT DJLY FOR MOKMONS. SA L.AKK, U. April 7.—The fire at Mormon temple, the Temple of God, which was begun February 0, JS5,:!, ami erected at, a cost of $5,000,000, dedicated on Thursday in tlie presence of a vast throng of believers. Mormons from every eity ami town in IHah swarmed into the city and the vast edifice was surronnded by a great multitude. The temple itself was crowded almost to suffocation and it was estimated that between (5.000 and 7,000 people entered the building before the services nded. The ceremonies will extend over fourteen days, but the chief interest centered in the morning's proceedings.

The dedication services began at 8:30 o'clock Thursday morning- and were celebrated in the assembly ball of the building-, into which not more than ,500 people can be admitted at one time. The first 2,500 is limited to tlie president, Wilford Woodruff, the twelve apostles, the bishops and high priests of the church. A second 2,500 were admitted this afternoon and the ceremonies will be repeated twice a day for the next ten or fifteen days.

The services in the temple were as sceret as in a masonic lodge. The morning- services lasted till 1-2 o'clock. Meantime no one came out and no one but high dignitaries of the church were admitted after the. services had begun.

The Ceremony.

The prayer of dedication opened the ceremonies. God was thanked for raising up the prophet Joseph Smith, for the Hook of Mormon, for the organization of the church and for the two temples heretofore built for Brigham Young, for John Taylor iud for the present head of the church. Thanks were given to God for tlid®" completion of the temple and holy influences were asked for whoever enters the sacred edifice. Itoffered the temple to the Lord as a whole and in all its separate parts. Blessings were asked on all in authority in the church and the saints in the home, on the youth in Zion, and new avenues whereby the needy may obtain livelihood by honest industry were asked for. The Indians were remembered and the Lord was aslced to make tliem "a white and delightsome race." Blessings were asked for the government and its officers. The prayer further said: "We tlmnk thee for thy kindness in'softentng the hearts or our fellow citizens and the people of the nation toward ue we thank tlieo that thrill didst move upon the lieu it of Llie president of our nation to issue a general amnesty that thou hast removed prejudice and mlsundertanilhip: from tlio minds of many people con lorninff us and our purpose, and that they are disposed to treat us as fellow citizens and not as enemies.*'

It prays for the kings and princes of the earth, and for all who are degraded and crushed. It asks that the people may avoid bitterness of party strife and repent of sins in this direction it isks that the people may be helped in trouble and affliction when they turn their faces toward this house, and wanderers be brought home in remember ing it. It prays for higher faith, and closes blessing God for His great goodness.

Viewed by Gentiles.

The building was turned over to the authorities on Wednesday finished, and the event was celebrated in a manner that caused decided surprise throughout the city. Invitations were issued to 500 prominent gentiles, including the governor, judges of the supreme bench and other officials, to view the interior of the building late Wednesday night As the building had been for years most zealously watched and everything connected with it was supposed to be entirely secret, the invitations caused the utmost surprise, but were eagerly responded to, as this will bo the last opportunity ever afforded for non-Mormons to get a glimpse of the interior. TIK: church authorities decided to isstfe the invitations on account of the donations received for the temple from outsiders and also as a matter of courtesy. Every one who visited the buildinir tells the most enthusiastic stories of its gorgeousness. llalf a million dollars has been expended on the furnishings and the interior is a vision of oriental magnificence.

Uses of tlie Temple.

The belief of the Mormons, or Latter- Day Saints, as they call themselves, is that without the ordinances and endowments that can be given only in a temple they cannot obtain complete solvation. These endowments are the conferring of certain blessings pertaining to their existence hereafter for those who are living, and also in behalf of those who have died without the opportunity of personally receiving in the flesh the desirable ordinations. This accounts for the activity and persistency of tlie saints in building temples. Among temple ordinances arc the sealing for eternity, by divine authority, of family relationships and those of husband and wife, and parents and children also baptisms and various rites in behalf of the dead.

His the rule that only those who. have become disciples of Christ and seek to live sincere Christian lives will be admitted to the temples. They are places of worship for those only who are members of the Mormon church, which claims to be lite church of Christ, and the only one on earth existing by His authority and directed by revelation from Him. They look upon the temple in Salt Lake City as the one described in the first two verses of the fourth chapter of Micali. The building is provided with all the modern appliances for lighting, heating and ventilating.

office, and his popu

larity is best attested by the fact that, although he is a democrat, his candidacy for tlie place which he is nominated was indorsed by the unanimous vote of the republican legislature of Minnesota. [William Lochren is 57 years of ago and was born in Vermont, where he was cd icated in the public schools and admitted to the bar. He went to Minnesota in 1857 and practiced his profession, but when the war broke out ho was one of the first men in the state to abandon his civil pursuits and enlist in the First Minnesota regiment. Iiis service during the war was severe, culminating at Gettysburg, where his regiment made the famous charge that checked Pickets' onslaught Ofc the »X) men who made that charge only forty caine out whole, and young Lochren, who started on the rush as the first lieutenant of Company K. came out in command of the regiment, every officer above his grade having been killed or wounded. When the war was over William Lochren returned to Minnesota and resumed the practice of law. He was very popular and was twice the democratic nominee for a seat in the United States senate. In I8S2 he was appoiuted by a republican governor to a judgeship on the circuit bench and at the expiration of his appointment was twice reelected the same place without opposition

THKHK WAV HK TUonn.R.

WASHINGTON1, April 7. —It was Chili with whom Uncle Sam hud trouble in South America during the last administration. ft may he its neighbor, Peru, during this. It appears that the United ,St-tcs consulate at one of the Peruvian ports has been sacked- by a mob, with apparent police sanction. The ofliccr acting as consular agent for the United States was lirod upon and wounded in the foot.

The news cotnes in a brief telegram through the United States minister to Peru, lie omitted such essential details as the name of the place and the name of the wounded ofliccr, or they were dropped from lus dispatch in the telegraphic transmission. Ilis telegram is as follows:

Consular Service In I'ern.

There is but one consulate in Peru, that at Callao. In this position Mr. Aquilla J. Daugherty, of Illinois, appointed during Mr. Harrison's administration, stands on the record as consul. There are under him seven consulat agencies, the occupants of which positions are doubtless mostly merchants of the country, who are paid by fees, and those fees seem to be very small, inasmuch as only two make any returns at all to the department of fees collected and those returns are ynderS'.!5 a year. These consular agents are as follows: Cerro de Pasco, M. C. McNulty Chiclayo, Alfred Solf Mollendo, William R. (Jrillith: Paita, John F. Hopkins, Jr.: I'ittra, Kinilio Clark Truxillo, Edward Gottfried Tumbez, William Itaklini.

Sp«culatlon tlegnrritiif llm Occurrnice.

Whether the outrage complained of occurred at one of these smaller places or at Callao no one at the department can determiue from the telegram but inasmuch as it comes from Lima the impression prevails that the scene of the outrage was one of the interior points. This impression is further strengthened by the knowledge of the department that in many cases where the natives assault the sub-consulate the trouble is due not to any antagonism to the country represented but to prejudice aud illfeeling against the representative personally. This is not an uncommon occurrence in South America or in other parts of the world where the acts of a mercantile consular agent are resented by the people, who would respect the acts of a citizen of the United States duly appointed tc a full consular position. It is believed that the matter will be satisfactorily explained in a short time. Secretary Gresham's action in the matter was marked by promptness and caution. The demands are predicated on a corroboration of the facts, as stated briefly by the minister.

WILL DEMAND THEIR PLACES.

The I,ake Shore f?ii£ineei'H Will Ask to lie Reinstated. TOLEDO, O., April 7.—Next Tuesday

or Wednesday the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will make a formal demand on the Lake Store company for the reinstatement of its engineers who left iU service on tbe night of March 17 bee,iuse they would not handle Ann Arbor freight cars. Chairman J. W. Watson of the Lake Shore grievance committee of the brotherhood said that the committee would make the request of General Superintendent Canniflf next week, lie thought that the company would not hesitate to grant the request, as the men had only done what they were in duty bound to uo by the brotherhood, it is a case that the brotherhood has never met with before and they will proceed with considerable caution in making the request There was some talk among tliem of quitting the service of the Lake Shore last Monday, when the decisions of the federal court were delivered, but this was stopped before it had spread to any extent. There is little doubt that nearly every man will quit the service of tlie Lake Shore company if these men are not reinstated when tlio formal demand is made.

h. Green, of Kearney, were engaged as the attorneys to prosecute the eases and Messrs. Col ton, Casper and Harry were appointed a committee to represent the two houses in the prosecution.

Kesolulions directing impeachment against ex-Auditor Thomas It. lienton were adopted, and the committee was directed to bring in articles of impeachment, charging hiin with "holding up" the clerks in his office, and drawing fraudulent vouchers on the penitentiary and asylum funds.

The Articles.

The articles of impeachment contain three articles and twenty-one specifications. The first article relates to the cell-house awards, the second to the junketing- trips aud the third to furnishing supplies and the coal deals at the Lincoln asylum for the insane, the various specifications relating to individual deals with various firms. The specific charge against the treasurer is that he compelled parties who had claims against tlie state, allowed by the legislature, to pay him a portion before he would issue the warrant, and other transac tions that are peculiar, as in the admission of insurance companies to do business in this state and refusing permits to others.
