Measuring News,

London, Jan. 10.-The Telegraph will tomorrow publish dispatch from Der lin stating that Emperor William re- ceived by special message on January 8 an autograph letter from Queen Victoria. The emperor's autograph reply is now in the queens hands.
 It is understood that the emperor re- marked to his entourage that he be- lieved the terms of his reply would be acceptable. The writer of the dispatch affirms that the letters referred to the political situation, and that his majesty in his reply, in brief, general terms, prof fered his hand to the English people. The letter, it is said, also confirms the assurances given by the German minis ter that the emperor had no intention of casting a slur on the dignity of England.

Not Hunting the Spaniards.

Washington, Jan. 10.--In response to a cablegram to Havana. sent by Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister, inquiring as to what effect the destruc- tion of sugar crops would have upon the governments resources, the follow ing dispatch was received today:
 Havana, Jan. 10.-Sugar does not pay direct taxes. Sugar now only pays a port duty or permit to load of 75 cents per ton. If the total sugar crop were lost and the average exportations of 600.000 tons were impossible, the loss to the treasury would be $450.000-less than l per cent of the war expenses.
 "CADENAS." Senor de Lome. giving this informa- ton, said that it could be proved by in- quiring of those interested in the sugar industry in New York, Boston and Phila- delphia, and pointed to the fact that the rebels in their efforts to ruin the island by burning the canefields of Spaniards, Cubans and foreigners have deprived the Spanish government of less than $500 000 of taxes.

BATTLE OF FLOWERS.
The Unique Spectacle at Santa Bar

The Unique Spectacle at Santa Bar
bara Yesterday.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal, April IL
The largest crowd that ever gathered
in Santa Barbara thronged the trib-
unes yesterday to witness the battle
of flowers, the famous and novel fea-
ture of the great flower festival. The
procession was headed by company
of 200 marines from the flagship Phil
adelphia, and by the marine band. The
arms of the marines were decorated
with wreaths and bequets and the
brawny tars took an active part in the
battle with roses.
The procession passed along the
avenues on each side with flying bunt-
ing, flags and flowers and spanned by
arches of floral designs. OF the floats
entered, that of the Native Sons Of
the Golden West took first prize. The
float was designed as the seal OF the
state of California, being a solid mass
of marigolds and yellow marguerites
against background of green. 1t was
drawn by four black horses garland
ed in yellow flowers.
Entries of smaller vehicles were in
Vulnerable, many new and beautiful
features being introduced. Roses were
used largely in all trimmings. At the
battle of flowers, in which the boquets
of choice cut flowers were used as am
munition, the spirit of merry war ran
high, and when the battle field was
finally deserted, it was strewn with
thousands of pretty roses, marigolds,
carnations, marguerites and wild flow
ers of every variety.
The members of the Hotel Mems as
ISOLATION were enthusiastic spectators
at todays unique battle, and express
ed great pleasure with the entertain
ment.

WOMEN BEATEN.
ence as DeIegates-Have Not Given
Up the Fight, However.

CHICAGO, April IA special to the
Times-Herald from New York says:
Women as lay delegates. cannot enter
the coming general conference of the
Methodist church in Cleveland. BY
direct vote of the ministers of the
church on a plain issue the women are
beaten.
The big Troy conference in session
at Gloversville has settled the question
by voting down the Baltimore amend
ment 113 to rs. This does not absolute
~ decide the woman question in it's
hearing in the coming coference, but it
does destroy the chief reliance of the
women.
This question: the most important
and the most far reaching in possibil-
titles, the Methodist church has ever
been called to face is now left in a
state of more hopeless confusion than
ever. The women may yet win in the
coming conference, but they can win
only by resort to some parliamentary
expediency, in the conference. Up to
date, with three annual conferences to
hear from the women lack 40 votes of
having the necessary three-fourths of
all votes cast on the Baltimore amend
ment The Troy conference having
given the women only rs votes, and
having thrown 113 votes against Them
their last hope of winning on the Bal
timore plan is gone. After the action
Of the Troy conference there is a ma
jority of 154 against the Baltimore
amendment Inasmuch as the woman
side of the question must have three
votes for every one opposed, 462 votes
would now be required to put it on an
equal footing with the opposition.
Whatever action the East Main and
North Dakota conferences may take
with only 17S votes between them 1t
cannot affect the result. These figures
speak for themselves-total vote cast,
10, 100; total for Baltimore amendment,
I'll; total against Baltimore amend
ment, 1874 But the Hamilton amend
ment, which has alone been before the
annual conference for consideration.
provides that lay delegates must be
men. 1t is also defeated. By its de-
feat the inferential declaration of the
church is that eligibility to lay dele
gateship shall not be confined to men
but shall be understood as being ex-
tended to women. The women are de-
barred from the general conference by
defeat. Of the Baltimore amendment.
The general conference must wrestle
with this paradox.

Tuesday night For some two weeks
past, it has blowed. dust and great
guns. but with only an occasional drop
Of moisture. Last Friday night a slight
snow fell and on Monday evening,
after one asst good bowling gale, a hail

into a genuine snow storm which
would have put many winter effort
to shame. The beautiful fell coninu-
ously all night, and on Wednesday
morning no less than eight inches lay
on the ground, which, however, nearly
all disappeared during the day.
The storm was greatly needed and
will be of great benefit to farmers and
stock owners. The ground was getting
very dry, as the quick absorption Of
the snow proved, and grain and hay
would have received a severe setback
Now, with an occasional shower, we
will pull through very nicely. At best,
the water supply will be very short

The New Road to the Park.

Provo is making a genuine stagger
for consideration in the location Of
the proposed branch railroad from the
main line of the Rio Grande Western
to Park City. 1t is said the railway
magnates have but two points under
consideration, viz. Provo and American
Fork. The Independent can scarcely
credit this in view of the considera-
ton given Springville by the Rio
Grande Western people in the past
AS a natural junction with the road
there is no better to be found and
we hope this very good location will
not be lost sight of. To man up
a tree Springville is the place, not only
for the junction Of this new piece of
road from Park City but if they build
TO the coast via the Sanpete and Sewer
branch Springville is the logical di-
vision point. in fact is the only choice
in Utah for headquarters, inasmuch
as Ogden is the terminus and is likely
always to be so and Salt Lake is too
close to the terminus Of a great trans
continental road to be natural divi-
sion. Thistle is too crowded by far
so that where their western connec-
tons are made they will be forced to
look for a great division point where
transcontinep al business can be done
with alacrity and dispatch. Springville
has all the conditions and facilities
and ought by right of logical justice
be the place selected.-Springville In
