ROMERO IS DEAD.
Mexican Ambassador to the United
States Succumbs to a Danger
Gus Operation.

Washington, Dec, 3o.-Senor Romero,
the ambassador from Mexico to the
United States, died at four o'clock this
(Friday) morning, aged 62 years. An
operation for appendicitis was per-
formed upon Ambassador Romero on
Tuesday. For many hours the physi-
clans were encouraged to hope for a
successful result, but the age and frail
constitution of the patient tended to
diminish the chances for his recovery,
and the end came at the hour above
slated.
IMr. Romero was made secretary of lega.
ton as long ago as 1859, when he was only
% years old. Since that time he has taken
large part in the public affairs of his
country, exclusive of the many years he
has lived in Washington. AS Gen. Diaz'
chief of staff in the French invasion, as
principal agent in the American treaties
after Maximilian's defeat, minister of
finance under Juarez, member of congress,
postmaster-general and in other important
functions, he had his share in patriotic and
unselfish devotion to his country. His du-
ties as representative of proud and sensi-
tive government were delicate and i'm
portant, and his success is a splendid
tribute to his rare powers as diplomat.
His ability and his high personal character
have been well appreciated in Washington.
Mr.. Romero married an American lady,
Lucretia Allen, of Philadelphia. Here and
IL Europe he was considered one Of the
greatest, If not the greatest, man produced
by Latin America in these times.1

President Snow, of the Mormon
Church, Says Law AgainstPOlyg-

Salt Lake City, Dec. 3o.-In connec-
ton with the election of B. 81. Roberts
to congress and certain charges circu-
lated by the Presbyterian board of mis-
sions, President Lorenzo Snow, of the
Mormon church, furnished a signed
statement to an afternoon paper here,
in which he says in part:
IT declare most solemnly and emphatical-
ly that the statements which are being
published to the effect that the Mormon
church is encouraging and teaching polyg-
amy are utterly untrue. Ever since the
issuance of the manifesto on this subject
by President MILFORD Woodruff, my prede-
cessor in Office, polygamous or plural mar
riages have entirely ceased in Utah. Since
my accession to the presidency of the
church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints. have repeatedly asserted my in
tention to stand by that manifesto and my
determination not to permit any marriage
to take place under the sanction of the
church which is contrary to the law of the
state and 1 now reafirm that statement
The implied understanding with the nation
when Utah entered the union as state has
been sacredly observed. There is no inten-
ton or disposition on the part of the church
to violate or depart from 1t in the future

States, and that any similar effort by any
southern member of congress will be alb
horrent to this camp and meet with un-
qualified condemnation"

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

A decision was handed down from
the supreme court in which it was held
that the law providing for the appro-
priation OF money for seed loans is un-
constitutional The reason for the de-
cision is that the money appropriated is
for a private purpose, and therefore il
legal. The same order holds that those
who have already borrowed money un-
der the law cannot use the decision as a
means OF escaping payment, because,
having availed themselves OF the law,
they are now estopped from pleading
its unconstitutionality. The case is that

IN THE INTEREST OF PEACE.
President Mckinley Presented with
Petitions favOring Disarma-
ment and Arbitration.

Washington, Dec. 30.-A delegation
presented to the president Thursday
two petitions, one from the great ma
iority of the organized Protestant
Christian churches of the world, and
the other from the Pan-Presbyterian
alliance. The first petition was signed
oy the representatives of las national
and denominational churches, existing
On all the six continents, viz: The
Church of England, the Church OF Scot
land, 30 other churches in Great Britain
and Ireland, the general of the Saliva
ton Army, two churches in Belgium,
two in Switzerland, six in Holland, IL
in Australia, % in the United States
and Ga in other parts of the world. Bap-
fists, Congregationalists, Lutherans,
Methodists, Presbyterians and Episco-
palians unite in their approval OF the
petition. 1t asks for the reduction of
the heavy ornaments maintained by
Christian nations, ready upon provo
cation to go to war and settle their dis
putations by bloodshed," and also re-
quests the influence of the government
of the United States in favor of interna-
tional arbitration as a substitute for
war.
The second petition is from the Pan
Presbyterian alliance, which also unit
ed in the first petition and which in
Guides so national and UNCONVENTIONAL
churches throughout the world. This
second petition asks for permanent
and peaceful method for the settlement
of all controversies arising between the
peoples of the British empire and the
republic of the United States of Amer
ica." The delegation congratulated the
president upon the results of the right
full war recently waged by the Ameri-
can people in the cause of justice and
humanity, and the Divine blessing was
invoked upon him as the man ordained
of God in a great crisis in human his
tory to be the leader of this people,
and also to be instrumental through
both war and peace for the INFRINGING
of Christ's universal kingdom. The
signers of these petitions represent
more than $1,000, 900 of Christians in all
parts of the world, 25,000,000 of whom
are Presbyterians.
The president responded cordially
to the delegation, saying that he IA
vored arbitration as between Great
britain and America. He also said that
he had responded promptly to the
cars proposal OF disarmament, but
that under present circumstances the
ornaments of the United States could
not now be lessened, but would in any
event be less than would satisfy Euro
pean nations.
