Partisan Remarks In a Religious

Coalville, May 10.-In his remarks at

Apostle John Henry Smith wandered
from his theme of patriotism to parti-
sanism, thus offending several of his
were very fair, but when he began to
discuss state rights and secession his
partisan bias was very apparent. Re
fering TO the lost cause of the confed-
eracy, he claimed that it represented
the Democratic idea, while the Union
cause embodied the policy and princi-
pies of the Republican party. The i'm
preston was created that the confed-
crates and Democrats were identical,
while the northern people and Repub-
lcans were about the same. He thought
that the same principles were involved
in til = recent victory at Manila. and
that il might apply to all victories
where the cause is just" The apostle
isn't inclined to give Democrats who
fought for the Union the credit, al
though fully half the Union soldiers
were Democrats. A number of enthu-
siastic workers in the Mutual Improve

partisanism was introduced into the

were heard frequently on the streets

Apostle Smith made a mistake in try

Big Slump In the Liverpool Market
Influence of the Government Re-

Chicago, May 10.-Intense excitement
in the wheat market marked the day

offset by preliminary jump to gB in
July. But the second cables showed a
sudden slump in July also. This unlocked

the July option.
May wheat was only heard from at
long intervals. Trading in it began &c

seemed thick and close under the mar
ket. The downward flight was checked
temporarily at around Ill. Trade was
narrow and ordinary orders were hard to
execute. a quarter of an hour before the
close, a flood of long wheat broke loose.
The selling was based largely upon the
presumption that tcdaYiS government
crop report might be bearish. ScalDers
ventured to put out short lines. July

were a full cent apart. When the lQul-

Washington. May 1o.-The. archhishops

THE events that have succeeded the

patriotic seamen of the United States.
have eliminated in war with Spain and
our own beloved coG-try.
J Whatever may have been the lndl-
vidual opinions of Americans prior 70 the
declaration of war, there can now be no
Americans. \ resort to arms was de-
termined upon by the executive of the
nation, with the advice of both houses OF
congress and after consultation with his
cabinet officers, but not until every effort
had been exhausted to bring about an
honorable and peaceful solution of our
difficulties with Spain. The patient calm
ness. the dignitied forbearance, the sub
dued firmneSS of President Mckinley dur
ing the trying time that interviewed be-
tween the destruction of the Maine and
the declaration are beyond all praise, and
should command the admiration of every
true American. We, the members of the
Catholic church, are true Americans, and
as such are loyal to our country and our
nag and obedient TO the highest decree
and the supreme authority of the nation
We are now engaged in a war of sec
ton against section. or of state against

against foreign enemy and a common
Zoe. If, as We are taught by our holy
church, love of country is next to love of
God, duty imposed upon us by all laws,
human and divine, then it is our duty to

speedily to restore peace to our beloved
land and people.
ITO this end we direct that on ard after
the receipt of this circular and until the
close of this war every priest shall, in

of peace by glorious victory for our flag.
We also direct that prayers for the brave
soldiers and sailors that fall in battle
be said every day after mass. These
prayers shall be said aloud with the peo-

ENGLAND IS WILLING.
Our Right to Hold the Philippines Is
Conceded.

New York, May 10.-A dispatch to the
World from London says: Sir Charles
Dixie, when asked whether any cues
ton of international law or practice af-
fected the United States right to retain
the Philippines, said: None whatever.
The states will hold the Philippines by
the right of conquest. No power or
powers will have the slightest title to
interfere
Sir Henry Howart,' NJ. P, a leading
authority on foreign politics and inter
national law, said:
Il have no hesitation in saying that
the United States have a perfect right
to keep the Philippines, and. under the
circumstances, it would be both wise
and proper for the United States to
keep them. There is not a considera-
ton of international law that could in
any way fetter the United States in its
absolute discretion in the matter There
is no third party involved. The islands
We're discovered by Spain, and her SOW
ereignty has never been in dispute. BY
the right of conquest, tn srefOre, Amer
ica'S position is indisputable, and all
the members of parliament who are au-

that the United States should not give
them up"
New York, May ia dispatch TO the
World from Rome says: Guido BacOlh.
the celebrated statesman, and the COM
ing premier. in an interview, said:
America should keep the Philippines,
first, because. from the standpoint of
international law, she has the right of
conquest, and, secondly from the
standpoint of policy. The United States
is the only power which can now have
them, as they should not be receded to
Spain, which. being without a fleet and
finances. the islands would become a
bone of contention for the European
powers, thereby precipitating the far
east conflict.
IF ceded to England, it would be
considered by Russia. and Germany as
a casus belli, as destroying the equilib-
rum in the far east The powers,
therefore, in their heart of hearts hope
that America will keep the Philippines,
as she is the only power capable Of
guaranteeing their neutrality, and is
not suspected of designs of territorial
