SALT LAKE, Utah, April Sin the

John W. Taylor said: "l expect to wit

has been said, there need be no fears
regarding the fate and destiny of the
work. With regard to individuals, it is
different. Men are liable to step aside
from the path of duty. The mission of
the work of God, however. cannot be
prevented in Its accomplishments. We
are called to be iaborers in it.
We are on the good ship Zion. 1t will

lose sight of the necessity of complying

lesser requirements, but which are

Rain Makes Some Farmers Glad
and Injuries Others.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The weather
crop bulletin for the week ending to-
day says: ''Recent rains have placed
the ground in excellent condition for
seeding and farm work over the
greater portion of Iowa, Nebraska.
Minnesota, Michigan and Dakota,
although in the extreme north,
dry weatherlscontinues. Throughout
the winter-wheat belt from Ohio to
Kansas and southwark to Tennessee
aud Arkansas, farm work is greatly re-
tarded, owing to excessive rains, the
season being from two to three weeks
late, although wheat is reported as hav-
ing improved, and oats and grass look
better. The weather during the week
affected crops favorabiy in LOUISE
ana and Texas, where planting
is progressing rapidly. In the
East gulf states, while the weather was
generally favorable and much progress
was made in planting cotton and corn;
work was greatly delayed in northern
and central portions of Mississippi, ow-
ing to the excessive rains and floods.
Crops are much improved in the South
Atlantic states, where good growing
weather prevailed, but early crops need
rain. The weather during the week was
generally injurious to crops In New
Jersey and New York. In the former
state fruit and vegetables were injured,
and little progress was made i'm farm
work. The prospect for the fruit crop
in New York Is generally good. but
peaches have been injured. Frost is net
yet out of the ground in Northern New
England. In the southern sections of this
region grass and rye were improved
by good growing weather. Reports
from Oregon indicate late spring, but
seeding is in progress in the uplands,
the lowlands being yet too wet for farm
work. Winter wheat Is progressing
finely, but more sunshine is needed.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-About two
thirds of the Republican senators
met IN conference tonight at the
residence of Senator Chandler to
discuss the silver question.
The Western senators, those
known as silver. men, had the
floor at first and explained their views
at length. When the representatives
OF other sections expressed themselves
no marked preference for the Window
bill as against the Jones bill reported
by the senate committee on finance)
was shown. 1t was the. general opin-
ion that the Republican congressman
should harmonic upon some mea-
sure of legislation on the silver ques-
tiOn and press 1t to a passage at as early
date as possible. The exact provis-
ions OF this measure will probably be
defined at another conference to he held
in the near future. The action of
the Republican members of the
committee Oh privileges and ele-
tons, in requesting Chairman Hoar
to prepare national election law, was
referred to, and it is understood to have
met the approval OF the conference.
The status of the antitrust bill was

ii THE DOUBLE CROSS"
That Is What Minneapolis Coop
ers Claim They Got.

Late last night 1t was discovered that
the Minneapolis coopers' strike is not so
near settled as it was several days ago.
The coopers have been caught in a
trap. They have discovered, or think
they have, that the millers who offered
to pay 35 cents did it only as blind"
The millerS, it seems, intended to
keep the agreement only this
week, hoping that the slight disagree.
ment between journeymen and cooper
atives would serve to defeat the move
ment for raise. Yesterday the failure
toieffect an agreement with the Mime
apolis Flour Manufacturing company
gave the coopers an inkling of the way
they were being duped. and it is prOba-
bic that every cooper in the city will be
called out again tomorrow. More than
this, if the coopers strike again, it
will be for So cents per barrel and
not cent less. They claim to
have discovered that the millers cannot
buy barrels Oh the open market and I'M
port them for less than 80 cents, and
they propose to get even for having
been, so to speak, given the ''dOuble
cross" They are angry and determined
now, and mean to fight. Should they
come out again and fail to bring the
millerS to terms on So cents, theygwiH
strike for 40 and stay Out.$ The millers
cannot afford to pack all their flour in
sacks on account of the expense, and
there is a prospectOf a hard fight.
