CONFERENCE AT MANILA.
Cannot Be Regarded As Recognition
of the Insurgents.

Washington, Jan. lit was said at
the war department today that abso-
luteiy nothing had been heard from
General Otis at Manila, touching the
state of affairs there. When inquiry
was made relative to a report that
there had been a meeting near Manila
of a commission selected jointly by
General Otis and Aguinaldo, it was
pointed out that, under the large dis
cretiCaary authority conferred upon
him by the department, and in con-
fOrmity with the presidents express
instructions to USE all possible means
Of adjusting the difficulty with the in
surgents, General Otis had full author
ity to adopt such methods without
asking express permission from the de-
partment His course is thoroughly
approved by the president UP to this
point.
A rather interesting question is raised
by the meeting OF this commission, as
to whether it does or does not consti-
tute recognition CT the insurgents, but
the general opinion is that it does not,
the matter being one of purely internal
with which no foreign nation
has a right to interfere. Meanwhile,
the meeting has served for a time to
avert the crisis which was impending,
and there is now fair ground for the
supposition that the status quo viii be
maintained, at least until the ratifica-
ton of the pending peace treaty.

DEATH OF GEOfG: GODDARD
PASSED AWAY AT AN EARLY
HOUR THIS MORNING.
a Good Man, of Most Kindly and
Generous Disposition-Came From
England at an Early Date.

George Goddard, the famous Mormon
Sunday school superintendent and one
Of the most conspicuous figures at the
old folks assemblages and in Sunday
school work for many years in this city,
died at his home, No. Goddard court,
at 1:55 o'clock this morning. He had
attained to the ripe old age of So years,
l month and days. Until recently he
enjoyed good health, being possessed
of remarkable vitality. About a week
ago he was taken sick with cold,
which developed into something akin
to la grippe and finally proved fatal.
He came to Utah from England at a
very early date, and from the begin
ming was one of the strongest advo-
Gates of home industry and put his
theory into practice, enc of his products
being a superior quality of ink. He was
a, man of most generous and kindly dis
position, and was especially fond of
children Being in comfortable circum-
stances, he travelled from one end of
the state to the other, engaged in
church work, and was always q con-
spicuous figure at the Mormon Sunday
school conferences. At the late gather
ing Of that kind he was vigorous and
hearty, and sang solo, something ex-
traordinary for a man of his years.
He was the father of H. S. Goddard,
the well-known baritone, and of Brig
ham Goddard of Ogden. His wife sur
wives him, and hosts OF friends, young
and old, will mourn his departure.
The funeral arrangements will be
announced later

Astonishing ignorance of the East

HEARsTs BIG CONTRACT
YELLOW JOURNAL PROPOSES TO
RUN THE NATION.
Would Unseat Roberts, Shelve Viii
liam J. Bryan and Depose Mr.. Bal
ley-No Probability That Roberts
viii Lose His Seat-Petitions Will
Be Received and Pigeonholed.
Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, D. c., Jan. 1.-THE anti
Roberts props gandists are disposed to
make much of the action OF the dissi-
| dent Morulons of Lamont in objectiug
! to the seating of the Utah congress-
man. The principal promoters of the
agitation were originally not aware
that there was any branch of the Nor
mon church which did not acknowledge
Salt Lake City leadership. Now that
this fact has been revealed to them,
they are advertising it as a brand new
breach in the church of Latter-day
Saints, and some Of them actually be-
lleVe that it has occurred recently, and
that the break is due to deep resent
ment aroused by the election of Rob
erts. This is only a fair sample of the
general miSinformation on the subject.
The anti-Roberts crusade is now be-
ing led, not by churches or by Wome0's
societies. as at first, but by one of the
yelloWeSt of New York newspapers.
This paper seems to have taken a num-
Der of difficult contracts at the same
time. It is determined to remove Bryan
from Democratic leadership for his
position on the question of expansion;
to depose Bailey from house leadership
and to infiame congress to the eXpul-
sion of Roberts. If Mr.. Hearst's sue
cess in the aforementioned enterprises
is no better than it promises to be in
the last, he Will be an ingloriously de-
feated ''reformer.'
Undoubtedly there will be acres of
petitions against Roberts from many
organizations that have had their feel
ings aroused by the Journals cam
paign. OF course, these will be received
by congress and filed, for the constitu- !
ton demands there shall be no denial |
of the right of petition. The same con-
stitution grants each state representa- !
ton in congress, and the right TO elect |
members is not to be abridged merely |
by reason of redundant petitions.
It should be understood by the people |
of Utah that it is possible for the house |
to eXpel a congressman, without any
regard to the merits of the case or the |
qualities Of the man. But it requires q
two-thirds vote to do it, and thus far
there are no indications that there is
even anything like a majority of the
house in favor of expelling a member
for his opinions. Many members admit
that there has been a great deal OF ex-
element aroused in their districts over
the Roberts case, but The Herald cor
has yet to interview a sin
gle prominent member of the house who
expresses himself as believing that ex-
pulsion will occur. Most of them hold
that, whatever Roberts offense, it was
fully known to his constituents at the
time of his election, and that to at
tempt to reverse the peoples decision
would be unjustifable

during the period of waiting Senator
w. G. Nebeker moved that the SER
geant-at-arnls procure the stationery,

Does that motion include postage

THE word 'et cetera' was meant to

Nebeker.
''Wel, how is the ergeant-at-arms

"Oh. the credit of the state is good,
I think" Senator Nebeker replied. And
anyway. the idea of my motion is to
authorize the committee on contingent
expenses to settle for these necessa-
ries."
The motion carried, with but half the
members voting.
President Nebel1e called for bills, re-
solutions and miscellaneous business,

SENATOR HoAR's PLAN.
Would Assist Filipinos In Establish
ing a Government.

Franklin. Mass, Jan. 11.-Joseph G..
Ray of this town short time ago
wrote to Senator Hoar, asking for an
expression from him as to what the
United States should do in the matter
of holding the Philippine islands. SEN
ator HOar replied that he would assist
the inhabitants of the islands to estao-
lish the form of government which they
desire and then withdraw. The letter
from Senator Hoar is, in part, as fol-
lows:
4 have your letter Of Dec. p, in
which you ask what I should recon-
mend doing with the Philippine islands,
now that we have them in our posses
sion In the first place, we have not
got them in our possession, and in CT
der to get them into cur possession, as
I understand it. we have got to subdue
the inhabitants. We have driven the
Spanish army from one port in a sin%ie
island out Of 1900, where they were
already hemmed in by the insurgents.
We possess that port and one or two
smaller places.
1--WE have under control a population
of perhaps 100,O GOO or 125,000 persons, out
of 10. GEO. 600 IL, 600 900. What / would
do with them is exactly this: l would
offer the inSurgent leaders, who seem
to be stronger parties in these islands,
our aid in establishing such form or
settled government as they desire, and
leave them a sufficient military force
to restore order. I would compel the
remuneration of sovereignty there by
Spain, as we have in the case of Cuba,
and then, after the government is fair
ly set up, would leave the islands to
the care of themselves.
Il suppose there may be a great deal
of turbulence and disorder, but l think
in the course of time a permanent Sc
tied government will be evolved. If it
were necessary, I would have an I'M
derstanding with the great powers of
the world that we would all join in
promoting and guaranteeing such a re-
suit
