dress, in the course of which he said:
The liberties, the democracy. the spir-
1t of progress which are the glorieS of
America are the outcome OF the deep
est principles Of the teaching of the
Catholic church. Liberty and progress
came into the world with her and
prospered always under her breathings.
The most positive precepts of the Cath
olic church go to the building of Amer
lea. She prescribes loyalty to the state.
purity OF personal life, charity to fellow
men. The church recognized as her
own sphere faith and morals; she pos
sesses and claims no mission in civil
and political matters. If the
church encroaches upon the sphere of
the state we should bid her be away.
If the state enters into the sanctuary
of conscience, the proper empire OF the
church the appeal is to God and the
state is ordered TO hold off its hands.
Separation of church and state, as it is
in America, church and state revolving
freely in their separate and distinct
spheres; Catholics fall behind none
of their fellow citizens in admiring it
and demanding its continuance. The
Catholic church wishes no aid from the
state in the preaching of the gospel.
But liberty from the state she wishes
and clamors for as a sacred and in
dueudDle right, lDerty In It's fullest
gifts under the common law of the
land. I am a Catholic, I am priest and
bishop, but 1 am an American citizen
and | must be debarred from no rights
and privileges accorded to other citi-
zens because l am a Catholic. My
words betray no fear for the future
Americans are a people of sincere re-
ligious convictions and of profound
common sense and they we'll know how
to keep church and state separate and
vet give liberty its full sway and
guard religion and morals
After the conclusion of the service
at the church. Bishop O'Gorman en-
terbained the hierarchy and clergy at
dinner. He will leave in few days for
his new field of duty
Many of the priests in attendance
were from other cities and most of
them left for home later in the day.

Dynamite Mines.

CAPE TOWN, April 19.-Advices re-
ceived here from Buluwayo are that
the numbers of the Matabeles around
Buluwayo threatening that place con-
tinue to increase so they now form a
formidable force. AS a measure Of de-
Tense against the expected attack upon
the town, dynamite mines have been
laid in the outskirts of town, and in
the ground over which an attacking
party would necessarily approach. These
mines have been wired and connected
with instruments in the central laager,
which will be the point of retreat in
case of an attack. From the. central
lager the ground in which the mines
have been laid is in full view and the
mines can be exploded by electricity
at the moment required. An explosion
at the moment an advancing horde of
natives ran over the mines would do
tremendous execution among them.

SAN FRANCISCO. April 1s.-The
steamship Gaelic arrived today from
Hong Kong and Yokohama, via Homo
lulu Owing to the prevalence of the
black plague at Hong Kong, the
steamer was sent to Quarantine island.
The cabin passengers, fifty in number,
were allowed to land, but the two hun
dred Storage passengers were kept
on board. A case of smallpox deveI-
hama to Honolulu and there was a case
of black plague just before the steamer
left Yokohama There was no sick
ness on board when the steamer ar
rived today, and after the Storage
passengers and their baggage have
been fumigated they will probably be
allowed to land.
The plague news from China is not
alarming. There is a great deal of
sickness among the European colony
at Hong Kong. but nothing very seri-
Gus. 1t has rained there constantly
for seven weeks, and the city is in an
unhealthy state A fatal cattle disease
has broken out, which has almost
ruined the dairy business. Up to
March 20 there had been 264 cases of
plague in Hong Kong since January L.
Most of the South China and island
ports have declared quarantine against
Hong Kong. A case of plague is re-
ported from Singapore.
The German officers engaged in or
ganizing and drilling the new Chinese
army at Marking were attacked and
badly beaten by a Chinese mob.
News from Corea states that the
Corean king is still domiciled at the
Russian legation, but that the Rus
SLAMS are endeavoring to persuade him
to return to his palace.
Outbreaks among the Coreans
against the Japanese are still frequent
and a number of Japanese have been
killed.
The Gaelic brings the news that Adj
n1iral McNear in command of the Ash
attic squadron is contemplating a naval
demonstration in Chinese waters. The
fleet, consisting of the Detroit, Olympia.
Charleston and Boston, will rendezvous
at Shanghai during the summer and
will then sail north along the coast
of China and to Japan.
The United States steamship Detroit
recently made a fast trip between Ma
gasaki and Shanghai. She made the
distance in twenty-six hours, which is
thirty minutes faster than the time
made by the Empress of India, the pre-
vious record holder. The Detroit aver

The United States vessels Petrol and

VERY PECULIAR.
That Is the Fix of the Sterling Steel
Company.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 19.-The
Sterling Steel company of McKeesport
manufacturers of the Notwithstanding
armor-piercing projectiles, is in a pc
culiar financial difficulty For several
months past they have been working
on a large order of projectiles for the
United States government, which has
cost them hundreds of thousands of
dollars, for which they have received
no money in return. They have conse-
quently been compelled to pass their
regular pay day and suspend opera
tons. The credit of the company is
first class, however, and it is expected
the plant will resume in a few days.
An official of the company SAYS:
THE government appropriation in
tended to pay US has been used for
another purpose. We expected to get
half Of the appropriation and the Car
penter Projectile company the other
half, but bill for one of the big steel
companies was put through, which
practically wiped it out This new
appropriation bill will not be available
until congress adjourns We have de-
livered to the government over 100000
worth of projectiles, for which we have
approved bills, but could not distrib-
ute them so as to realize any money

that Captain Laso, doctor, one lieuten-
ant and eight guerillas were wounded.
The news from Pinar del Rio is awaited
with eager interest, both by the Spanish
authorities and by the sympathizer with
the insurgents. In spite of the numerous
instances in which they have been dis
appointed, the government expresses their
complete confidence that now their opera
tons against Maceo are to be crowned
with success. The columns within, or
west of the military line south from
Mariel have been largely reinforced and
the military authorities announce their
intention to force Maceo to fight or to
come towards the line. The line they
consider impregnable and they believe
that they will thus entrap Maceo.
Colonel Aldea and the battalion of Val
encia have fought the insurgents under
La Crete and Collazo at the great Seapas
swamp, the insurgents having twelve
killed and carrying away numerous
wounded. The insurgent leader Juan
Suarez and an aide de camp of La Crete
were among the killed
In both of the engagements above re-
ported several prisoners were captured,
as well as arms and ammunition and i'm
portant documents
The insurgents have concentrated large
forces in the district of Santi Espiritus.

Native discomfort.

LONDON. April 2O.-A dispatch from
Mafeking, Cape Colony, to the Times,
says: There is a native discomfort
throughout Beyhuanaland and the adj
joining districts. More police and mill
tary are needed. Earl Gray has ar
ranged for a daily coach service from
here to Buluwayo.
The Daily Telegraph has a dispatch
dated Buluwayo, Friday, via Pretoria,
which says:
The enemy are nranouvering and con-
structing laagers to provide for retreat
and organized attack less than six
miles out
A council of war has been held and
it has been decided that the local forces
are too weak to make further attacks
upon the Matabeles The greatest anx-
iety is felt for the arrival of reinforce
ments from the south, which will be
the only link with the outside world, as
the natives now hold all the country
except Buluwayo, Gwelo and Belingwe.
The returns of casualties to the white
population thus far show that six have
been murdered and a hundred are miss
ing.

HAWAIIAN CABLE.
COLONEL SPAULDING'S FRIENDS
ARE NOT AT ALL PLEASED.
They Take 1t for Granted That the
Present Congress Is Not Disposed
to Aid the Company Which Spaui-
ding Has Formed.

HONOLULU, April u, via San Fran
cisco, April 10, per steamer Gaelic
Colonel Spaulding's friends here are
not pleased with the report of the
senate committee on foreign relations
on the cable bill. They take it for
granted that the present congress is
not disposed 10 aid the company of
which Spaulding is the head. The Ha-
waiian government allowed Spaulding
eighteen months in which to launch
his scheme. The option will not expire
for nearly one year, and in the mean
| time the hands of this government are
practically tied. No proposition can be
entertained from any other company.
If congress should refuse to grant a
subsidy to the New Jersey company
this government is assured that
Spaulding will assign his contract and
option to any company that might be
able to secure the desired aid Cable
supporters here would be glad to have
the New York and New Jersey COM
panies combine, if such a combination
would insure the building of the cable.
1t has been stated that congress will
not act on the cable question unless
the Hawaiian government opens the
field to any American company having
gress. In regard to the foregoing a
cabinet minister stated this morning
that much as they would like to see
the cable built, no offers from any
other company would be considered
until it was known definitely whether
or not congress would aid Spaulding
If the aid was refused. then they
would consider the latter's option as
ended and other companies would be
dealt with.
A dispatch was received from Min
lister Cooper April 10, via the Ala
media, from r. w Irwin at Toxic,
Japan, to the effect that a Chinese pas
senger from Hong Kong by the Gaelic
had left the steamer secretly at Yoko-
hama, March 80, and died of the black
plague in the Chinese hospital there
on April l. The affair was not dis
covered until April 2.
The same day the vessel arrived at
this port the port physician visited
the ship and reported that she had
900 Storage passengers and 700 tons
OF freight for this port. She left Yoko-
hama on March 81, and on April Z a
case of smallpox was discovered The
doctor of the Gaelic reported that there
was sickness between Hong Kong and
Yokohama, but that upon examination
of the Storage passengers the day
after leaving Yokohama, one Chinese
was found missing. He got away in
some secret manner This was the
man who died Of the black plague in
the hospital at Yokohama.
The board allowed the Gaelic to
come in alongside the Pacific Mail
wharf, but under the strictest quaran-
tine The passengers will be landed
at Quarantine island.

PROVO, April 19-The second day
of the Utah stake quarterly conference

tabernacle, with a very large attend
ance. The speakers this morning were
Reed Smoot of the stake presidency
and Angus NJ. Cannon.
At the afternoon session, Seymour
B. Young and President Joseph F.
Smith were the speakers.
President Smith spoke for abou. one
hour on the discipline and order of the
church-the duty of each and every
member to the church. He said if an
apostle should refuse to abide or ac-
Knowledge the authority of his bishop,
the bishop had a perfect right to with
draw the hand of fellowship from that
apostle. The speaker said that the
church authorities had

two were inseparable. If man has a
million dollars or 100 acre farm, and
should be called On mission. and by
would be his duty to go on the mis-

length on the discipline of the church
and in closing told the Saints that the
manifesto lately read and adopted at
the general conference in Salt Lake
City would be. read to them for their
approval or disapproval, as they saw
proper to vote.
But" the speaker said, all who
vote against it have not got the spirit

discussed manifesto was read by Prof
Brimha1l of the B. Y. academy. After
the reading President Partridge en-
dorsed it and called for a vote, the
great majority voting in favor of its
adoption, while a great many did not
vote at all, and several people left the

One man in the center of the build
ing voted against it, holding his hand
as high as he could reach. The choir
sang and conference adjourned.
OTHER NOTES.
Apostle Joseph F. Smith and party
returned home to Salt Lake on the
afternoon train.
Friday night, at about II o'clock. a
pistol shot was heard in the neighbor-
hood of the First ward school house
and there are number of people who
were in that vicinity claim that it
was meant for them individually. Ru-
NOR is rife to the effect that a certain
lady had been shot at by a well-known
gentleman, and that would not be the
last Of it. And there are others who
are positive that it was not the first
of it, either.
