TRUE MORMON CHURCH
4 Missouri Court Hold; Il 10 Be The
Ola at Llmlli, l0Tl
BRIGHAM YOUNG ROASTED
judge Phillips Goes Into the His
tory OF the Original OrGaniza-
ton and the Three Fac
tons or Cf.shoots.

KANSAS CITY, March 3.-The temple
lot, a sacred piece OF Mormon soil in In
dependence, for which the reorganiEcd
hurch of Jesus Christ OF Latter Day
Saints and the Independence faction Of
the Mormon church have been fighting in
the courts four years, was to-day decided
by Judge Phillips of the district court To
be tho property OF the reorganized church.
The Independence faction of Mornons Is
by the opinion enjoinel from asserting
title 10 the property, the cloud is removed
and full possession is allotted 10 the
plaintiff. The successful orgaui-
cation has its headquarters at
Lamont, Iowa. Its following numbers
5000 souls and It's president is Joseph
Smith, jr., son Of tue prophet Joseph
Smith, founder Of Mormonism. Besides
settling title 10 the much prizod temple
lot, which is known among Mormons as
the Garden of Elem, the opinion incident
ally finds from the evidence that tho Re-
organized Church of Latter Day Saints at
Lamont, Iowa, is the real church founded
in ls2J by the prophet Joseph Smith and
that the factions of the Mormon church
in Utah and Independence are oifshoots
OF the mother church and have departed
from the teachings OF the prophet.
The temple lot comprises block OF
property 800 feet square, located on one
Of tho highest cmincnces in lndepend-
ence. In Judge Philips decision tho
deeds, receipts and other papers are
quoted 10 show that the church, of which
Joseph Smith was prophet, was the true
church and the owner of temple lot.
After tho killing of Smith a, Carthage
Illinois, in June, lsti, disintegratiou sci
in and the church split into factions. The
true church under Joseph Smith was es'
tablished at Lamont, Iowa; another
branch went with Brigham Young, and
the third, the Hcndrcki,es, remained Al
Independence.
incidentally to the decision, Judge Phil
lips numerically scores the Utah poIyca
mis-; church. Tie says: Among the quor
um of L.. representing the apostles, wa
| Brigham Young, man of intellectual
power and aggressive, IL not audacious

| 10 Salt Lake, Utah. From this settlement
! sprung a powerful body known as the Sal
rl4ake or Utah church. There can be u,
| question that Brigham Ioung's asSump
ton OF the presidency was bold and bale
nsurpation. Tho book of doctrine gav'
Joseph Smith To he president of th'
church. The book taught clearly that th,
succession should descend lineaily aud q,
10 the first born. Joseph Smith SO taught
and before his taking oil publicly pro
claimed his son as his successor, and h'
was 80 announced. Young's assumption
of office was itself departure from Ih'
law of the church. The book Of Mormon
pronounced the severest anathema agains
the crime OF polygamy.n

GladS.ons's Resignation.
CHANGES IN THE CABINET
Official Announcement that the
Grand Old Man Has Resigned
and His Successor eeen
Appointed.

LONDON. March 3.-Gladstone. a guest
of the queen at Windsor castle, rose early
and took a constitutional in the grounds.
lie looked well and was in tue highest
spirits. Later in the day the members Of
the privy council left for Windsor aud on
their arrival a council meeting took place.
Gladstone left Windsor at 3 o'clock this
afternoon in company with the other cab
met ministers. The route TO the station
was thronged with people, who cheered
Gladstone heartily. Ii is stated that he
will spend the spring OH the continent.
After the departure OF the ministers, the
queen sent her private secretary TO Lon
don TO summon Lord Roseberry, Glad
stones probable successor, TO Windsor.
Roseberry left for his destination at 4
p. m.
Gladstone has received many kilograms
from Ireland embodying resolutions ask
ing him not to resign. Roseberry was in
constant consultation with members OF
the cabinet during tho afternoon. 1t Is
thought that the Earl OF Kimberly, secre-
tary of state for India. will succeed Rose
berry In the foreign office, and that John
| Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, will
become secretary for India.
|; was officially announced this evening
that the queen had accepted the resigna-
ton of Gla dstone and that her majesty
had summoned Lord Roseberry and Of
fcred him the post of prime minister. 1t
was also announced that Lord Roseberry
had accepted the position. II is freely as.
serted tonight that Roseberry and the
liberal party will have to face grave

stone. In addition TO the strong objection
entertained by a large section Of the new
radical party TO the selection OF peer as
successor to Gladstone, there is soreness
among tho more moderate liberals at
the cavalier manner IN which Gladstone
has treated his colleagues in the
matter of his resignation. IL Is
believed that communications have passed
between the members OF the government
and the leaders Of the Irish nationaIists.
The latter are said to have received assur-
ances that the passage of a measure of
home rule will still be the chief aim OF the
government.
Lord Rosehcrry's premiership will in
volye few changes in the old cabinet. 1t
Is tolcrably certain that the Earl OF KIM
brrley or Earl Spencer will 20 TO the for
eign Office and that John Morley will be-
come secretary Of state for India. The
nationalists have intimated that Herbert
Gladstone or A. II. Dixie Acland, vice
president Of the committee of the council
OF education, must be the new chief secre-
tary for Ireland.
Williams, a leader OF the unemployed
workmen, in a speech tonight at Tower
Hill, said that plan was being prepared,
in which he would participate, 10 kidnap
Lord Roseberry If he were chosen prime
minister. lie gave as reason that the
condition of the unemployed would be
made worse than at present.

RIGHT INTO SPOKANE.
The Canadian Pacific Has Quite an Im-
portant Deal on Hand.

Special DisDatch to tbs stan lari.
SPOKANE, March IA special to the
Rerie'c from Victoria, b. C., says neGo'ia-
tions are pending between d. c. Corbin,
pFesideni Of the Spokane Falls & Northern
railroad company, and William c. Van
Horne, president Of the Canadian Pacific
railroad, by which it is believed that the
io,mer road will be taken in
charge by tho Canadian Pacific
railroad by May or juno OF
this year and operated as a part Of that
transcontIneniai line. Authority for this
statement is n Canadian Pacific official,
who says the Canadian Pacific for some
time has had its eye on the spokane Falls
d Northern road us necessary branch TO
an important freight field, and recently
has aided Mr.. Corbin in every possible
way 10 extend his road. which is the only
road running out of Spokane not operated
by trauscOntinental line. lie says:
About the time that the Spokane road
was pushing its line into British Columbia,
the auadian Pacific was doing equally
good work just ensi OF the Rocky mount
aims in taking the narrow gauge road from
Dunmore 10 Lethbridgo and changing it
into a standard gauge. This gave il con.
nection with the Great Falls & canada
road running from Le,hbridgc TO Great
Falls, Mout. From Lethbridgo surveys
were run on TO Fort Mcleod to con-
meet with the branch running from,
Fort Mcleod through Calgary, on the
old Canadian Pacific line TO Edmonton
The work kept more secret was tho run
ming OF surveys through Crows Nest pass
to Nelson, and then by detour to Slocau
lake and Nakusp. Surveys are now beins
made from Nakusp TO Reveistoke and a,
soon as this line can be built 1t will be
operated. The Spokane road now run,
into Nelson and when the Canadian Pa
cltlc is completed from Fort Mcleod tS
Nelson it is intended to use the Spokane
road and operate it as Canadian Pacific
property"
As TO Nelson and Fort Shepherd, the
Canadian Pacific will purchase that and
Use il as its main line when tho cut-of
| line TO the coast is built. Later il will
open up the Olanogan mining region nj
il goes. Work will be started on th,
Crows Nest line as soon as tho weather
will permit. The deal with Mr.. Corbir
will be closed in from four 10 six weeks a
most, and next year regular Canadian
Pacific trains viii be running into Spo
| kane.
