.REORGANIzED SAINTS FOR WAR
RAISED THE FLAG OVER THE
CONFERENCE CHURCH.
Ringing Resolutions of Sympathy
With Cuban Patriots and Declar-
ing We Are Morally Obliged to
Aid Them.

Independence. Mo-. April THE 10th
annual conference of the Reorganized
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. now convened at Independence,
promises TO be notable one in the his
tory of the church.
Nearly 700 delegates are in attendance.
Each delegate has a right to present
some plan for the work being carried on
in the various parts of the world. Presi-
dent Joseph Smith, of Lamont, Ia, the
head of the church. and chief Of the
presidency of three, is directing the work
of the conference.
The conference this afternoon appointed
a committee to raise the United States
flag over the church in which the body
is sitting. and adopted ringing resolu-
lions in relation to the Cuban affair.
The preamble recites that the condition
OF the affairs in Cuba is undesirable, ow-
ing TO Spanish oppression. and praises
the efforts of the Cuban patriots to free
themselves, and TO secure complete in
dependence for their island from the
thraldom of the oppressor."
The resolutions declare sympathy with
the patriots. declare il to be the duty of
the United States to render them all pos
sible aid. promptly: declares that the
United States is morally obliged TO aid
them in their struggle. and declare that,
much as was II to be deplored. it is never
thsless preferable. as a Necessary means
TO the end desired. to a continuance of
the conditions that have so long existed
in Cuba
The resolutions were telegraphed TO
President Mckinley.

legations late in the day showed that
the response of the president had Gre
ated d most favorable impression in for
eign quarters. The presidents answer
was looked upon to some extent as a
counter appeal to the powers for their
cooperation in the cause of humanity
against the intolerable condition of af-
fairs in Cuba. In some diplomatic
quarters there was a disposition to
read the joint note between the lines
and to give it a suggestive character
beyond the mild phrases adopted. This
was not the generally accepted view,
however.
WISE MOVE.
The favorable manner of its recep-
ton was looked upon as wise move
at this critical juncture. for, without
rejecting as an intrusion those foreign
suggestions, they were so received as
10 give the greatest promise of SYM
pathy, rather than opposition from the
most powerful joint influences in the
world.
AT the capitol. the situation was
ardently discussed among individuals
and came up for debate in both houses.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, said he
was ready to vote for a declaration of
war, in discussing an amenment to the
sundry civil bill. In the house
significant declaration was that of
General Grosvenor who declared he be-
lieved war was inevitable. In fact, the
speech made by General Grosvenor in
answer to charges against the admin
istration by Mr.. Letnz of Ohio was as
important contribution to the news of
today. The Importance of General
Lees telegram was considered by
members not to have been over esti-
mated, and the impression that the
president was amply justified in with
holding his message became a convic-
ton.
This fact was emphasized by the ad-
Journment until Monday of both houses.
WAR MUST COME.
The opinion in the senate and house
is that war must come. Even the
most optimistic of the conservative
senators have given up hope of
peaceful settlement
A great deal of consideration was
given by senators and representatives
TO d form OF action. On this point
there is wide divergence of opinion.
but 1t has assumed two distinct posi-
tons. one is the recognition of indie
pendence of the island coupled with
armed intervention to drive out the
Spaniards, and the other armed inter-
vention with a declaration that Cuba
shall be free.
The desire on the part of those favor
ing the latter plan is not to recognize
the insurgents and their government
or any government until after the
United States has control of the island.
The latter plan is said to be that of the
president and efforts are being made
to have it adopted so there will be no
division between the executive and
legislative branches Of the government.
rear is expressed that there may be
long debate in the senate if Some
compromise is not agreed upon before
the committee on foreign relations
makes its report.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-04-08

preferable to declare for the right of
freedom and leave to the president the
duty of recognizing whatsoever govern
ment he can see proper after the Span
iards shall be driven from the island.
The senators who were in conference
today considered the proposition, to-
gether with other suggestions calculat-
ed to secure harmonious action on lines
such as they consider wise. They de-
sire above all things that there should
be no friction in the open senate before
the world. and they will probably seek
to have the form of the resolution de-
termined in secret session, which will
have some of the binding effect of a
party caucus. Advocates of the reccg-
milton of independence will oppose the
change proposed in the Foraker reso-
luton, and also will antagonize the plan
TO decide the question behind closed
doors. They claim to have a majority
of at least L for recognition of the
present government.

Cspecial to The Herald0

Washington, D. c., April THE SEN
ate committee on public lands this af-
ternoon made a favorable report on
Senator CannOn's bill TO open all the
Uncompahgre lands, lately mentioned
in these dispatches. There is no reason
to doubt that it will pass the senate.
There is great hostility expressed to
the entirely unwarranted and illegal
attempt of the secretary of the inter-
Tor and the commissioner OF the land
office to violate the law which opened
all the Uncompahgre agricultural lands
on the LIST of this month. 1t is not the
FIRST time that executive officers or the
interior department have attempted
notification. A similar effort was MADE
by William A. ]. Sparks some ten years
ago.
secretary to halt the operation of an
act of congress- said Senator Rawlins
to The Herald. "but the settlers need
not fear his intervention. or course,
the federal courts Will grant wits OF
mandarnus TO prevent any such an out
rage as that. The settlers whose filings
have been rejected under the 'presump-
tt,ous order of the secretary have only
TO apply for writs compelling the regis
ter and receiver to do their duty under
the law. The officers Of the govern
ment will not for a moment be permit
ted the right of notification
OSBORNE IS FOR WAR.
Ex-Governor Osborne. vice chairman
of the Democratic congressional COM
mittee. saws that he believes that the
time has come when nothing but a dec
laration of war can or ought 10 saltlsIy
the American people.
II was ready" he said tonight, to
vote for belligeFency when 1 first came
on to Washington. After hearing the
reliable and thrilling statements OF
Congressman King, of the starvation
of helpless women and children ana the
terrible atrocities of the Spaniards, L
became convinced that independence
should be established, recognized and
maintained by the armed Intervention
of the United States. While l realize
the dreadful disasters incident to war,
still. after a careful reading OF the
Maine report, any man will say that
war is inevitable. The Spaniards took
that vessel to an unsafe anchorage, she
was permitted to remain there several
DAYS and then she was destroyed by
mine that could only have been ex-
pIoded by Spanish officers That was
an act of war upon us and war should
follow in return. There can be, there
must be. no subordination of the
Maine murder. 1t was the most terri
BILE wrong ever perpetrated by one ma
ton upon another in time of peace"
Governor Osborne is confident that
congress Will act. even though the
president continues to have his policy
dictated by Wall street every morn
ing" He says war will yet be declared
by congress and Spain swept off the
hemisphere.

The 23d l sent you

sample and have not been sorted,

Twenty years ago / heard Seth
Lewelling, of Milwaukee, Oregon,
Zone of the most successful orchar-
d1sts in Oregon) say that i'll 20
years there would not be an apple
in the state fit to eat, because the
people were allowing the apples to
rot on the ground, and letting the
worms hatch out and multiply.
Now there is mistaken idea pre-
valent that the climate here kills
the worms. The factis, we haven't t
the start yet, and if the people here
will just half try, we need not have
it at all. There are plenty of small
seeding apples left to rot on the
ground and they will hatch moths
as we'll as good apples. I know of
al least one orchard where there
are worms and I have found them
there this year. 1t is at the old
government quarry above Mill
creek. And I have heard there
were wormy apples on Little Elk
Now. in view of these conditions,
it would be worth while for the
people of Lincoln county to do
everything possible to prevent the
spread of the pest by destroying all
apples left on the ground. 1t will
assist if not entirely prevent the
spread of the worms. If we all
work together, l am sure we can
make Lincoln county the banner
apple county of the state.
