The Day Spent on the Postoifice Approprla-
tlon Bill

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The senate
spent the entire day on the postofice
appropriation dill, but did not complete
IT, The bill served to bring out some
sharp criticisms by Senator German on
the administration of the postoffice de
partment and by Senator Allen on al
leged irregularities resulting from the
civil service system. Mr.. Allen re-
peated sensational charges as to large
money contributions said to have been
made in the interest of Mr.. Cleveland
ana Mr. Harrison. The charge that Mr..
Wanamaker contributed S400. 10000 to-
ward MI. Harrison's election led to the
emphatic denial from Mr.. Hawley Mr.
Allen alluded to the president as His
Majesty and the chief mugwump OF
the country. The vote on the postoffice
bill Will be taken tomorrow.
Among the bills favorably reported
was one to prevent wholesale divorces
in territories by requiring years res
idence before application.

pension the widow of the late General
Thomas l.. Casey at $100 month.

ing Immediately that the United States

A MORMON ADDRESS
No Wish for Union of Church and State,
but-

SALT LAKE. Utah, April 6-The
Deseret News today published a three
column address to the officers and men,
bers of the Church Of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day Saints in conference assem-
bled. The address is on the subject of
church and state and is signed by Will
ford Woodruff, George @. Cannon and
Joseph Fl. Smith of the first presidency;
John Smith, patriarch; eleven of the
twelve apostles. seven members of the
first council of the seventies and three
bishops, composing all the high off,
cials of the Mormon church. The ad-
dress says that during the last political
+ excitement the church authorities
were in some cases misunderstood and
in others misrepresented Continuing
the address says in part: 1--WE wish to
state in the most positive language
that at no time has there been an at
tempt or even a desire to encroach up
on the rights of the state. There has
not been nor is there the remotest de-.
sire on our part to do anything looking
to union of church and state.
I'm view of the occurrences to which
reference has been made, we feel it our
duty to clearly define our position, so
there may be no cause hereafter for dis
pute.
I'VE unanimously agree to and pro-
mulgate as a rule that should always
be observed in the church and by every
leading official thereof, that before ac-
cepting any position, political or other
wise, which would interfere with the
proper and complete discharge of his
ecclesiastical duties; and before accept
ing nomination or entAr'ng into en-
gagements to perform new duties, said
official should apply to the proper au-
thorities and learn from them whether
he can consistently with the obligations
already entered into with the church
upon assuming his office take upon
himself the added duties and labors
and responsibilities of the new position
to maintain proper discipline and order
in the church. We deem this abso-
lutely necessary, and in asserting this
fact we do not consider that we are in
fringing in the least degree upon the in
dividual rights of the nation.
I'VE declare that in making these re-
quirements of ourselves and our breth-
rem in the ministry, we do not in the
least desire to dictate to them concern
ing their duties as American citizens
or to interfere with the affairs of the
state"
A significant feature of the address
is that it does not show. the name of
Moses Thatcher. one of the twelve
apostles.
Last year Moses Thatcher accepted
the nomination for United States sena-
tor on the Democratic ticket without
consent of the church authorities and
strongly maintained the view that the
church has no authority over his per-
sonal actions regarding politics.

on the United States senate's resolu-
ton in the house today was anxiously
awaited here. 1t is pointed out that hos
tilities must soon cease on account of
the APPROACH of the rainy season and no
further reinforcements worth mention
ing will be sent to Cuba until the month
of September. But the war department
is making extensive preparations in
this connection. and four ironclads and
several torpedo boats are ready to sail
at short notice in order to take part in
the blockade iof the coasts of Cuba
should the insurgents be recognized as
belligerents. The general opinion here,
however, is that the question as to how
and when the United States will inter-
vene in Cuba will be left to President
Cleveland. and 1t Is believed the latter

THE M'WHIRTER CASE
The Widow Wins Her Suit for Insurance
Money


SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-The
United States circuit court Of appeals
handed down an opinion affirming the
decision which was rendered some time
age by Judge Mckenna in the matter
of Mrs. Mamie S. McWhirter against
the Connecticut Life Insurance COM
pany
The opinion was settled by the court
in bank, being written by United States
Judge Knowles, Judge Morrow and
Bellinger concurring.
Mrs McWhrter is the widow of the
late Louis 3. McWhirter, who was mur-
dered at Fresno.
Owing to the mystery surrounding
he death of McWhirter the insurance
company refused to pay the policy held
by the widow. Hence a suit was brought
in order to compel the company to COM
ply with it's obligations. The trial pro-
duced a good deal of interest at the
time and finally Mrs. MCWhirter was
awarded $l6 49,. so
ion by the insurance company and once
again has an opinion contrary to their
desires been received.
A number of technical grounds were
advanced by the defense in their ap-
peal. claiming that errors had been COM
mitted by the lower court, but the prin-
cipal contention was that sufficient tes-
timony had been introduced to show
that McWhirter had committed suicide.
1t was further urged that the testimony
of Witness Bernhard should not have
been rejected. Bernhard declared that
McWhirteI had once told him. previous
to his death, that should any disgrace
come upon the family of the deceased
the latter would surely commit suicide
In passing upon the point the court
took the position that beyond reason
able doubt McWhirter had not commit
ted suicide, therefore any testimony
going to show that such might have
been his intentions was entirely irreve-
liant.
Mrs. McWhirter will now undoubtedly
receive her insurance as it is extremely
doubtful that the case will be further
contested by the insurance company.
