LEBANON, Ind, Sept 1S.-The final
business of the Northwest Indiana Metho-
dist Conference was transacted to-day.
The various committees reported and the
following resolutions We're passed:
Resolved, That we have seen with sor-
row the long-drawn-out struggle of the Gu
ban patriots for independence and liberty,
and while the struggle is unequal, never
theleSs, we sincerely trust that the struggle
may continue till Cuba is free; and TO this
end we hope President Mckinley may make
every friendly effort to hasten the day of
independence for Cuba.
while we are in sympathy with the pa
triots in Cuba, We are also in profound
sympathy with the Greeks and Armenians,
and all other people in their efforts TO Sc
cure Christian and civil liberty; and we re-
gard the overpowering of the Greeks and
the outraging and Strengthening of the Ar
n.enians among the most shameful events
in modern civilization.
I've had hope that the arbitration treaty
between the United States and England
would pass into law, so as TO draw the TWO
rations into closer and stronger relations
goism more difficult. We favor arbitration
between these two great nations which
have a common faith and common
tongue.
