The basis of negotiation has been

Great Britain has shown a disposition

Great Britain considers the Senate

its own forces the defense OF the Unit

spectacle was almost tragical Yet MS
courage, which never failed him for
moment, was the same sublime fortitude
that had characterized his daily life
through the long and eyentful career
that he carved out for himself with
such distinction and honor.
LARGE FAMILY.
President Cannon leaves large fam
ily-four wives and twenty-eight chill
dren-to mourn his demise. That they
will miss him very much there can be
no doubt for he was good husband,
a considerate parent and wise COUNSEL
or, who always provided well for the
needs Of those dependent upon him.
He was a strong advocate OF the patrl-
archal family system, and was never
happier than when surrounded by the
members Of his own household while
some reunion was being held or birth
day celebrated He was firmly of the
opinion that such occasions were pro-
ductive of untold benefit and so he
demonstrated they were. The last fam
ily gathering held at his home was just
after his return from the Sandwich
Islands in January last, when his sew
enty-fourth birthday was observed in
most pleasant manner a few days
after the real event itself.
AN UNCEAsING WORKER.
He felt much improved in health at
that time and declared rapturously that
II would have given him boundless
pleasure TO have remained on the islands
for several months to come. Had he
done so, II is the opinion Of many that
he would have been alive and well to-
day. But speaking of the propriety Of
a prolongation Of his visit at that time
he said:
every interest but my own health
demanded my return-therefore ! am
home"
This strict attention to business detail
was characteristic OF the man, and TO
Il. he owed his success in the affairs OF
llfe-and probably, his death as well.
President Cannon was endowed with
a strong physique and good health and
had ever led a temperate life, in all
things except work in the field OF which
his energy was ever active until the
hand OF death itself was laid upon him.
