The remains of the late President
George O. Cannon repose temporarily
at the old homestead on Cannon s
farm. II was 5:45 last evening when
the train bearing the body drew into
the Rio Grande Western station, be-
lated ten hours A raging snowstorm
was in progress, but in spite of the
adverse circumstance there were prob
ably $50 people crowded on the platform
to witness the arrival. The body was
borne 10 a waiting hearse and taken
at once TO the late home sOf the preSf-
dent, where it will remain until the
funeral tomorrow, noon.
On account OF a freight wreck on
the Southern Pacific fifty miles west of
Ogden the train which bore the re-
mains from San Francisco failed to
make connections with the Rio Grande
NNestern at Ogden yesterday morning.
IT was expected that the funeral party
would reach Salt, Lake at 8 80 a. M,
and large crowd had gathered at the
station, among whom were members Of
the tamilX and good many church
dignitaries. When the train from Og-
den pulled in and il was learned that
the funeral party was not on board
there was keen disappointment. l. A
Benton of the Rio Grande Western
telephoned TO ogden, with a view. of
learning the exact state of affairs He
ascertaiEed that il would be late in the
afternoon before the train from San
francisco could pessibly reach Ogden.
and the family was so informed.
At O'Clock q party of about twenty
nve. including the family and officials
OF the church, took the train for Ogden
10 meet the remains there. The South
ern Pacific train did not reach Ogden
until 4;SO, and the three hours wait
was extremely firing. With as little
delay as possible the start back to Salt
Lake was made the body being. placed
IN the baggage car and the funeral
party occupying Pullman. Scarcely
as many had gathered at the depot
mere IN the afternoonfas in the morning
owing TO the storm and the Difficulty
experienced in learning the exact hour
the train would arrive. As it was,
however, the depot hands had the ut

GERMANY IS REASONABLE.
willing to Discuss Matter of Reduc-
ing Erdemnity Claims.

Berlin. April 15.-It is officially con-
firmed here that the United States has
made a proposition to the powers TO
fix the total Chinese indemnity at sd, :
100000 (S200. o00 O00), coupled With the
condition that the payment be made
Immediately German officials point out
that the amount named would require
heavy scaling of the different claims
bur the proposition is praeticable
and open 70 discussion. owing TO the
clause requiring cash payment.
But If IL is contemplated to divide
the indemnity mechanically. it is doubt
fui whether it viii he acceptable, since
Russia says her government claims

Is asiqf from private claims. The prop
oSition would give Ger many only S.
100000 whereas the China expedition
has already cost her E12, 900 009 The
claims of Great Britain amount to less
th5n $4,000. 600. OficiaIs therefore ar
que that the amount should be appor-
toned according to the expenses borne
by the different powers.
The representative Of the Associated
Press gets the impression that Ger

by the BELIEF that China il unable 20
