MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 15.-The Mime
sofa State Farmers Alliance began it's
annual meeting at Harmonic hall, and
Immediately following the convention
the Peoples party league of the state
will meet. There is comparatively lit
tie interest in this years meeting of
either the alliance or the league. There
will be the usual election of officers and
the adoption of resolutions expressive of
the views of the farmers, but as far as
preliminary indications can be relied
upon, both will be done without any
serious fight.
President Vermilyea was most agree
ably surprised to note the presence of
at least 200 delegates and that each
county in the state was represented.
Judge Macdonald Will Resign.
Although the principal public event
scheduled is that to be addressed by W.

much political interest will be held at
the Brunswick hotel At this meeting
Judge J. L. Macdonald will tender his
resignation as chairman of the Peoples

successor will be elected. Judge Mac
Donald has for some time been meeting
the opposition of other leaders of his
party. He was the particular object of

was formerly an ardent free trader; he
is now a protectionist and he expects to

There was profound sorrow through
out the city yesterday over the untime-
~ death Of Apostle Cannon, and The
effect was no less keenly marked in
business than in ecclesiastical circles,
for the deceased was among the lead
ing spirits in a dozen very import
ant enterprises. most of them in Salt
Lake. On every hand were heard ex-
pressions of deep regret that one whose
future promised so much should have
been cut down in the flower of his man
hood, and tributes were freely rendered
to his ability, integrity and worth.
AS heretofore announced, the funeral
VIII take place at the tabernacle at
p. m. on Sunday next, which will give
time for most of the relatives who are
absent to reach the city.
The services win be under the
auspices of the quorum of apostles.
1t is announced that the remains will
not lie in state, but the relatives and
intimate friends will be given an OPP
portunity to view the body in private
on the day Of the funeral.

4 Brother's Tribute.

In the Desert News last evening,
John @. Cannon paid the following
tribute to his departed brother:
Though the writer is speaking of his
brother, The son of his own father and
mother. he knows that tens of thous-
andS will affirm his words when he
says that Abraham Hoagland Cannon
was one of the brightest and noblest
spirits that ever moved among the
earth's inhabitants. His years were
far too few to let his greatness of heart
and soul and mind become fully and
widely known, but those who knew
him intimately, and could read the
auguries Of his nature and character,
foresaw in him man SO good and
great as to deserve a place among the
first of those who were born to bless
their kind
- His nature was always sweet and
amiable; his heart was always tender
and responsive; his sympathies for all
mankind were boundless. His love and
reverence for his father, and for his
mother in her lifetime-she is now some
years deceased-were traits of soul
which feels the strongest and deepest
emotions His attachment for his par
ents, his regard for their wishes and
obedience to their counsels, were, from
his earliest years, marked traits of a
noble soul. For his brothers and sisters
he always felt, and by outward de-
meanor showed, a. love that was a type
Of what such an affection ought to be.
In his own household, and in his
bea fling towards his wives and children,
he was most loving, tender and solicit
Gus; ever patient and ever cheerful;
coming as near to the fuifillment of all
that is required of a husband and
father as the weakness of mortality
can come Only the family of such a.
man can know what such q, man is,
and what is signified by his departure
from this world.
To his intimate associates and en-
ployees his manner was simplicity,
courtesy and kindness all combined
and to all with whom he came in con-
tact, whether they were kinsmen, CO.
religionists or strangers, he showed by
his department shat every act of his
life was sought to be conforned to
those high and clear convictions of
right that so distinguished his lofty
mind.
The writer cannot express brotherly
affection that has been disrupted, or
the loss he has sustained. Though the
elder by two years he leaned upon him
who has gone, and in the counsel and
sympathy that were ever freely given,
has found safe support. The loss can
never be repaired until a meeting in
and for eternity shall take place.

NoRTHERN PACIFIC.
The Proceedings in the Court at Nil.
waulSee Yesterday.


waulSee Yesterday.
MILWAUKEE,, July 2O.-Colonel Petit
this afternoon fled an answer for the
Northern Pacific company denying the
validity of the claim presented by the
petitioners. He read an affidavit of Mr..
scout, comptroller of the Northern Pacific,
alleging that the parties now complaining
had been notified at the time the bonds
were issued that the Northern Pacific COM
pany was without the corporate power to
guarantee the bonds and further that the
Seattle was indebted to the Northern Pa
cific for Sl,346, 92012 and that the Northern
Pacific company had obtained judgment
for this amount.
At this point Mr.. Peckham took part in
the proceedings by saying: That don't
affect us meaning that the present
action brought is by the bondholders.
The affidavit also alleged this property of
the Seattle company was worth several
million dollars more than the bondholders
bid for it. AS a result of the purchase
and the extinguishing of the stock indebt-
edness, the afndayit alleges that the bond
holders were benefited by nearly 81, COO, GOO.
This statement amused Mr.. Armour. Mr..
Stetson stated that aside from Mr.. Petit,
Mr.. Cromwell would speak for the Adams
committee. Mr.. Morawetz for ]. P. Nor

ferred stockholders and himself would

TWO VACANT OFFICES.
MIR. Cannon's Death Leaves Two
Places to Be Filled.

Mr.. Cannon's Death Leaves Two
Places to Be Filled.
The death of Abraham H. Cannon
leaves the Utah and California Rail
road company without a general man
ager and the Salt Lake and Pacific
without a secretary. The business of
the two companies which was handled
in a very large part by Mr.. Cannon,
has piled up during his illness and as
there were many details in connection
with the two new projects with which
he was familiar and of which there
would naturally be no record, his sue
cessor or successors will find the work
of beginning where he left off exceed
ingly difficult.
No steps have yet been taken to fill
the vacancies and probably will not be
until next week after the funeral has
been held. The directors viii then get
together and select the person or per-
sons who will conduct the business of
the companies.
