WARS AND RUaORs OF WAR.


FROM whatever point OF view the
Bering sea embrogllo il looked at, II
must be confessed that the situation is
grave, to say the least. The CORES.
pondence between the representative OF
Great Britain and the United States, as
synopsized In recent dispatches from
Washington, indicates that trouble 10
brewing. Tho comments OF the Lon.
don papers, that the Harrison admin
istration Is attempting to make political
capital out Of tho Misunderstanding,
are silly and groundlcss. Such u
course OF action on the part OF the
English prcss will not help to modify
public feeling on this side. The
trouble did not originate during the
present administration and II II lie fully
demonstrated that Britain 10 not will.
Ing to await tho decision Of impartial
and disintcrested arbitration on this
question, then no political opponent
can afford TO charge President Harri-
son with Jingoism. The English press
will then find that II is not matter Of
parlyism, and that the Republicans
and Democrats will unite In maintain.
ing the national rights OF this country.
General Boynton, In an article re-.
Gently published at Washington, shows
that England Ii better prepared than
we are for war. On the Atlantic side
she has strong naval posts, and on the
Pacific she has station which COM
mands the entrance 10 Puget Sound.
She has number Of ironclais which
canbe transferred to the lakes In forty
eight hours, and with these the com.
meree and citles On the south borders
OF the lakes are at her mercy.
In addition to General Boynton,
General Miles and several other
military authorities assert that Britain
Ia now better prepared for u conflict
than we are. They insist that dur.
ing the past five years she has
been actively pushing her strategic
aud military projects, uutil at
present she actually holds the United
States In her grasp. with her great
naval station Mt vancouver's Island
she can control Puget Sound aud all
its commerce aud lis cities, the har.
bors OF San Francisco, aud San Diego,
and the eutire Pacific coast. BY
means Of the st. Lawrence and the
military canal into Georgian Bay, now
nearly completed, she can control
every American city OF tho lakes from
Duluth to Buffalo, with her guuboatf.
On the Atlantic the naval stations Of
Halifax, Bermuda, San Lucia and
Jamaica have been strengthened OF
late. All these stationa are connected
by wire and in moment stimuli.

the whole line. Gen. Boynton says
that the war has already commenced

THE BEEF SUGAR CONVENTION.

THE Beet Sugar convention, now In
session at Denver, Col, is something
which ought TO be Of interest 10 all
jewellers In the arid regions Of the
West. Its object Is to induce the In.
ycstment Of capital In the manufacture
Of sugar from beeis. II Ia confidently
stated that the soil OF nearly all the
Colorado valleys IL specially adaptedlfor
the growth OF sugar beets. The farm
ers prepared to engage In beet culture.
but Ms no manufacturing plant has MS
yet been established anywhere In the
State they are chary about entering 1t.
II Ia hoped that one result Of the pres.
ent convention will be the organlza.
ton Of n company similar TO that es-
tablished In Utah and Nebraska.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
RESOLUTION.

THE dispatch sent by the Chamber
Of Commerce TO President Harrison,
urging him to grant general amnesty
to all persons who are under disabilities
through tho operations OF tho Ed
munds-Tucker act, shows n generous
disposition on tho part OF that body,
and IL evidence that the movement Ia
not Of partixan character. The reso-
luton adopted state. that the Indus
trial and business interests Of this Ter
rilory would be benefited by the grant
ing OF the amnesty, and there can DO
no doubt that the good feeling which
would result from such a proclamation
would have an excellent effect upon all
our business affairs.
The Chamber OF Commerce Ia doing
good work In Its peculiar sphere, and
the hsrmonizing Of feelings and inter
es,s which Is In process is greatly TO be
attributed TO that institution, which Il
worthy OF general public support. We
are pleased to see that the efforts OF the
late president, Fred Simon, in this d.
reclion are followed by equally ener.
getic and friendly movements by Pres.
ident Donnsllan, and with the steps
now being takcn TO regulate the trans

STILL AGirAIED.

THE New York Presby,efians are
slill agitated over the probability that
the "NIormon" Tabernacle In this city
may be used for Presbyterian services,
when the clergymon, who are 10 at
tend the General Assembly at Fort
land, Oregon, shall arrive here on their
way. They are 10 shocked over the
report that they have made !, warm
for DIR. 5hesrer, the gentleman who
was engineering the party to make the
trip across the continent, aud he has
found II necessary to make public
explanation.
The New York Tunes, and the Mai
aud Express, publish his statement
which is that "ho has not arranged, M
II has been reported, for meeting Of
oxcurslonists to the Presbyterian Gen.
eral Assembly at Portland, Ore, who
may travel In his care, to be held In
the Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake
City, nor has any one else 80 arranged

Mormon tabernacle" he says, ''has
been rendered, but no, accepted. A

OF the meeting have not been settled.

Salt Lake City? That Is the place
where the "Mormou" Tabernacle Is

BETTER DE MORE CAREFUL.

OUR careful, accurate and courteous
morning contemporary.-the 7S16une,
Is In sad state Of mind over the speech
OF "Kentuchy" Smith before the con-
gressionnl committees on the CLONE
Rule" bill. And, M Is Its custom
when In this condition-almost Its
normal state, It Is particularly angry
at the DEsERET NEWS, which 1t
charges with remarks that we never
made and with sentences which the
Tribune itself has manufactured. This
ia very indlscrcet ON the part Of that
paper, because 1t is no easy to expose the
mendacity and malice which prompted
its utt,mnces.

speech Of "Ken,uoky" Smith; at was

herate this paper In the ordinary re.
a cd manner he assumes to all who
dare to differ from him, stating that
we end jrsed "lSentucky" Smith's
lying, an so on aud no forth.

level OF the creature that takes so much
pleasure in falsiiying the utterances OF

common ground with n blackguard
and we decline. Hut we will state III,
facts In this matter.
When the tclographef report oI
'1ientucky" Smiths speech cam,
over the wire, and was Published In
the Tribune, we showed the injustice II
did TO the Governor and other on cials,
entering into some details 10 prove that
II was wrong, and depfecailng n resort

In support Of any cause. but we ex-
pressed a doubt az 10 the authenticity
Of the report, coming from such a
source rs the Tribune, and limited that
II might have been garbled and tinted
for purpose. This set that paper In a
fury.
But after little time had ELAPSED,
the Tribune published what II claimed
TO he a full s,cnographic report Of the
speech, purported synopsis Of which
II had printed as having come by wire.
We compared tho two reports. This
showed beyond dispute that many Of
the remarks attributed TO Mr.. Smith
he had not made. In very important
and essential particulars the two re.
ports differed materially, and 20 the
Tribune or IL verRolous correspondent
was convicted, by the 7fl5wio itself, Of

An easy way Of testing whether
milk has been adulterated with water
is to place the milk In deep pan aud,
taking bright knitting needle, insert
II vertically In the nuid. Then steadily
withdraw tho needle, and II drop re-
mains at the end tho milk Is pure. II,
however, tho drop is not found, II may
be- safely concluded that the milk has
been adulterated. Another extremely
simple test Is to place drop OF milk ON

SPEECH AT THE MONUMENT

Impatient to Hear Harrison the Vets
Snub the Orator of the Day.
The Grafton at the monument unwilling
was very long, and was followed by a
lons poem (about two columns nonpa-
reiD. The veterans waited patiently to
hear the president until they got tired and
began calling Harrison" The speech was
cut and so was the poem, amid laughter.
The presidents reception was most en-
thusiastic. The veterans cheered again
and again, waving their hats. Every
point in the speech called for enthusiastic
demonstrations. A rudeness unusual to
the audiences which the president has ad-
dressed was displayed at one place in the
speech by some listener who cried: james
g. Blaine" twice He was suppressed by
the audience.
The President Speaks Briefly.
Gen. Harrisons speech was brief and
patriotic. He praised the patriotic enthu.
siasm which had attended the exercises;

DECORATION DAY eLOQUENCE.


Grants EuIOgy Pronounced by Ex-
Confederate-HisM Magnanimity.
New YORK, May 3l.-Colonel Charles
Marshall, an ex-Confederate delivered the
Grafton at the tomb of General Grant yes
terday before great audience, composed
of large numbers of veterans and throng
of other citizens. His closing words are
given below:
Left No Legacy of Hate.
"When we remember the legacy of hate
and revenge that successful war has
usually left between the victor and the
vanquished, hate that has in some cases
outlived centuries, we can better appre-
ciate the magnitude of the services of
those to whom we are indebted for such a
happy ending of a bloody war. I am here
today with some of my late companions in
arms, ana with the belief that l express
the feelings of every Confederate soldier,
to bear witness that the American people
are indebted for this great blessing, for all
the good that followed it, and for eXemp-
tion from the countless evils that were
averted by it, to the illustrious man whose
grave we strew with flowers of gratitude
and affectionate veueration, more than { o
any other.
Grant Was a Peacemaker.
"Great as wereshis achievements in war,
think his crowning glory was that of a
peacemaker, and that 20 him belongs the
blessing promised to the peacemaker.
When Grant first opened the correspond.
ence with Lee which led to the meeting
| at AppomattoX Lee proposed to discuss the
terms of a general pacification. Grant
declined to consider anything except the
| surrender of Lees army, assigning as a
reason his want of authority TO deal with
political matters. The day after the meet
ing at which the terms of surrender were
| agreed upon another interview took place
between Grant and Lee, and when Lee re-
! turned he repeated in the presence of sew
! eral of his staff the substance of the con-
| versation.
| american" Blood Was Sacred.
"Grant said to General Lee with great
| emphasis: General Lee, ! want this war
| to end without the shedding of another
| drop of American blood Not northern
! blood nor southern blood, but American
| blood, for in his eye all the men
around him, and all those who might be
then confronting each other on other
! fields over the wide area of war, were
Americans. This American blood flows
/ in the veins of all of us, and let it be sacred
in our eyes also, henceforth and forever,
ready to be poured without stint as Ii
baton upon the altar of our common
country, never to be shed again in fratri
cidal war.
Grant the Magnanimous.
Here upon this sacred spot, my breth-
ren, raise noble and grand temple, the
! hope and assurance of the defenders OF
, our national faith, and upon this altar in
scribe for the teaching of the coming gen
erations of Americans the illustrious
name, Grant of AppomattOX, Grant the
| Magnanimous."

GOING TO FIGHT THE STANDARD.
A Huge Corporation With Untold
Millions Grinding Its Knife.

Millions Grinding Its Knife.
CHICAGO, May 31.--According to well
posted per>on the oil fields of Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia and Ohio are not to
remain the undisputed possession of the
Standard Oil company. The existence of
another huge corporation composed of
London and Chicago capitalists became
known yesterday, and while those in
possession of the facts refused to go into
particulars enough was learned to show
that the plans Of the new company are
nearly matured, that they are of pur-
pose and extent to make them commensu-
rate with the extensive operations OF the
Standard Oil company, making them
formidable rival to that concern, and that
the financial hackers of the new venture
have a much or more money in sight now
than that controlled by Standard Oil
magnates.
VIII Have Pipe Line ar Once.
A pipe line will be constructed from the
oil regions Of West Virginia, Ohio, and
Pennsylvania to the seaboard and g, 500, 900
will be expended in this construction the
very first thing; but this sum will be but
beginning in comparison with the future
operations of the company. 1t is the in
tention to connect with the seaboard all
the principal oil producing regions. In a
quiet way the new company has already
! secured possession of several wells, whose
flow reaches several thousand barrels
daily, and also large amount of territory

veloped, but which is known to be rich in
