CONFERENCE IN BRooKLyN.

Elder John NJ. Whittaiser, now labor
Ing in New Jersey. forwards to the
News" clippings from several New
York papers relating to the Mormon
conference held In Brooklyn ON the 6th
and 9Th instnnts. The Herald has a
synopsis of an address delivered by
Elder w. II. King. t'tah's representa-
tive in Congress. which is fair rather
than otherwise, and which was in part
reproduced in the press dispatches the
day after the address was delivered.
The World praised the singing
which was led by sextette. but said
the organ was wheezy. which is very
likely true. IT gave some of the
speakers credit for being good
preachers, but criticized others on the
ground of poor oratory. The Worlds
remarks on this line convey the idea
that 1t had been led to look for higher
order of oratorioal talent on the part
of Mormon missionaries than 1t found
In some of them. 1t evidently had heard
so much in praise OF these workers that
II had been led to expect too much in
this direction, and had not duly con-
sdered the fact that none Of them have
ever had any training that was prim-
arily intended to make pulpit orators
OF them.
The Brooklyn Eagle has shown n
very fair spirit towards Mormon mis-
slonaries for two or three years, which
fact is doubtless due. in part at least.
to the efforts of Elder Samuel w.
Richards. who. while presiding over the
Eastern States mission in 1895, had
interviews with members Of its stan
and furnished number OF articles for
its columns, relating to Mormonism. In
it's issue of the 9TH inst. the Engle gives
what is probably a fairly accurate ac-
count of an interview with Elder A. j
Kessler. now presiding over that mis-
sion. in which Is described the work
done by Mormon missionaries in 1t
during the year 1897. The conference
was also spoken Of by Elder Kessler,
who is quoted as saying:
at was not the purpose of this con-
ference OF ours to lead people away
from their homes to IL strange state,
such ms Utah would be to them. We
want to strengthen the faith right here
in the East. by making as many con-
verts as we cnn. and then being able
to rely on their aid to build up the re-
ligion. each in his own circle"
The change in the attitude of the
press In relation to the Mormon people
and their religion, which has taken
place since the Temple In this city was
dedicated. in April. 1898, n short FIVE
years. is certainly remarkable. While
few papers actually advocate Mormon
ism, hundreds show a willingness to
give it's friends fair play. The Nor
mons. SO long the victims OF misrepre-
sentation, can appreciate this change
on the part OF the press.

CONDUIT STREET RAILROADS.

Last month the News" had an arti-
Gle In reference to the possibilities in
the way of electric power for trans
portatlon and other purposes In this
State. The article met the eve of an
inventor named George IL. Wilson, re-
siding in Muncle. Indiana, and he has
forwarded TO this Office tracing and
description OF n conduit street railway
system Invented by him. wi the re-
quest that It he submitted to some per-
son interested in electric improvements
Pursuant to this request, the tracing
was shown to w. p. Read. Esq, super
intendent of the Salt Lake City Street
railway. who gave It as his opinion
that any conduit system would he too
expensive to be adopted In any city in
Utah for n long time TO come.
Mr.. Read courteously favored the
News" with copy of the Street
Railway Journal which contains an
elaborate description, profusely illus
trated. OF the conduit street railway
recently put In operation in New York
city by the Metropolitan company.
A perusal of the article and an examin-
alton OF the accompanying drawings
and engravings show that the cost of
constructing such u road is necessarily
very heavy, and that only such traffic
as is afforded by a large city would
Justify the outlay. 1t does away with
poles and overhead wires which Is a
great object gained; but II the cities of
the intermountain states were to forbid
the construction in their streets of any
but conduit system, most OF them
would remain without rapid transit for
u good while.
The conduit may be described as n
cylinder of iron plate. from a foot to II
foot and half In diameter. lying mid
way between the rails and from two
and half to three feet below the sur
face. In its upper side IS a slot extend
ing It's entire length, through which
the mechanism OF the car is connected
with the wires which are laid within
the cylinder. These wires are properly
insulated and in connection with them
is other necessary apparatus. The ex-
pense of constructing and laying the
conduit proper, though great, is fire.
auently less than the cost of providing
necessary drainage; for the wires in
the conduit must be protected from
water. all denominations of which must
be quickly drawn OFF.
When completed and In operation "A
conduit road resembles a cable road.

THE MAINE DISASTER.

As the circumstances attending the
sinking of the u. S. cruiser Maine in
the harbor of Havana are more thor
oughly considered. the impression
gathers strength. both In this country
and elsewhere, that there Is more prob
ability OF the disaster being due ia
some fiendish plot than to accident.
An investigation OF the wound in the
ships side may throw some light on
the subject; 1t may disclose whether
the destructive force came from with
in or without. In the latter case there
can be no doubt about 1t being the
work of an enemy. The difficulty of
ascertaining the real facts will be
greatest, II 1t shall be found that the
explosion took place in the interior of
the vessel. But before the results Of
the Investigation are known the con-
lectures freely INDUCED in are useless.
Spain has always been watching
with ill-concealed jealousy the marvel
Gus progress of the United States.
From the day the colonies engaged in
their noble struggle for independence.
this disposition has been apparent. 1t
was Spain that endeavored to check
the good offices of France. Later 1t
sought to restrict the boundaries of the
newborn nation. In 1872 Spain sided
with England and planned an expedi-
ton against the Americans. In the
Civil war Spain was found on the side
of the Confederate states. and would
probably have lent 1t material aid, had
It been In condition to do so. In 1873
Spaniards seized IL vessel floating the
American flag and killed the captain
and some of the crew and passengers.
merely on suspicion that the craft car
ried supplies for the Cuban insurgents.
the past few years and the disregard
of the rights of American citizens in
that island are still fresh in the minds
of the public. to say nothing of the
fact that two representatives of Spain
in succession have expressed views of
the United States and the chief execu-
tive Of the nation, such as rendered
them unit for the diplomatic service in
this country. But Notwithstanding all
this. II would be unjust to charge the
Maine calamity to Spain without indIs-
putable proof.
Probably the disaster will serve TO
focus public attention on the insurrec-
ton in Cuba, and result In more gem
eral demand for cessation of the hos
tilities there. Indirectly at least, the
conditions on the island have cost the
United states one Of her finest cruisers
and many valuable lives. What is
called the destiny OF nations often ap-
pears to turn on incidents of much less
Importance, and 1t is conceivable that
the fate OF Cuba and the Cubans by
this will be brought nearer decision
one way or another. The loss of the
Maine to the United States may cost
Spain an island.

favorable circumstances attain COM

policy of determination Is an alluring
