Washington (SpeciaD. Ut is learned
at the State Department that Ambas-
sador Tower has received from the
German Foreign Office an uncquivocal
denial of the statement that found
some currency few days ago to the
effect that the German government was
endeavoring TO secure control OF the
Panama Canal franchise. The Ambas-
sador's advice did not credit the Ger
man government with any feeling for
or against the canal enterprise, but it
is gathered that the state OF the public
mind in Berlin, certainly in commercial
circles, is favorable to American con-
struction because OF the benefits ex-
pected to accrue to German shipping
engaged in trade on the Pacific and on
the west coast OF South America.
1t is said at the State Department
that there is no change in the status
OF the negotiations with Colombia re-
specting the canal. Great impatience
is exhibited at the delays and failure
OF Colombia to accept the terms held
out, and pressure is being brought to
bear to hasten a conclusion. so that
the President. before adjournment OF
the present Congress, may have ac-
quired control OF either the Panama or
the Nicaragua routes, and be in po
sition to begin the work OF construc-
ton.

PROMPT ACTION.

Congress and the President have done
well in acting so promptly on the bill
to suspend the duties on coal for the
present. 1t is claimed by the opponents
OF the measure that It viii not bring
the expected relief, but II will be time
enough to pass on that question, when
the measure has had fair trial But
the good work should not stop there.
Let II continue until 1t Is made rea
sonably certain that a few grasping in
dlyiduals cannot bring the American
people to the state Of yassalage, or
make them tributaries to monopoly.
What oppression may lead to In this
country, was illustrated al Arcola, H.,
the other day, where the citizens seized
sixteen cars Of coal that was In transit
through the city. And 1t is claimed
that the crowd that took the coal in
cluded some of the best people Of the
town--clergymen, bankers, merchants.
They simply felt that they were justi-
fled In helping themselves, after having
suffered for two weeks from the pre-
yaillng coal famine. We may not justi-
fy the action OF those citizens in helping
themselves 10 property not theirs, but
stlll less can the action Of those respon-
sible for the coal famine be Justified.

{ TO THE swEDEs IN UTAH.

Reports Of the famine In the northern
part OF Sweden continue to come, and
the situation Is ptable. The Deseret
News has already given some partc-
ulars OF the distress In view Of the
needs OF the afflicted people there, we
suggest 10 the Swedish Saints In Utah
that some aid from them to their starry
ing countrymen would be proper and
chrlstianlike Southern Sweden Is re-
spending to calls for assistance very
generously. And In the United States
help is being afforded TO some extent,
We believe that our people VIII be glad
to cast In their mites when the occa-
sion is understood, and we therefore
make this suggestion for their consld-
Grafton.
1t Is true that the terrible results
OF the famine there in 1860 are not
likely to be duplicated. Railroad con-
nections have been made since then
a lire runs from Stockholm Into the
centre OF the afflicted district, and sup
piles can be readily forwarded But
these must be first obtained. and all
the help that can be given win be ac-
ceptable.
We are Of the opinion that the Sean
dinaylans Of Utah, Swedes Danes and
Norweglans, viii be ready to respond
TO the invitation 10 come to the aid OF
the distressed people OF northern swe-
den. and we therefore appeal to them
10 do 80 without delay In this we
have the approval OF the First Pres-
dency OF the Church and We advise Inn
mediate action. Mr. August W. Carl
son OF Y. G. NJ. l. has kindly consented
to act AZ treasurer for the funds donat-
ed, and they can be forwarded to him
as soon as collected What Is done
should be done at once.

THE JEWS AND JESUS.

At a recent meeting Of Jewish women
at the temple Adath Israel, Rabbi
Charles Hlelscher brought up the ques-
ton Of the attitude Of the Jews toward
Jesus. According to the Boston Tran
script, the Rabbi said that this attitude
is OF three kinds, Some Jews hate the
Nazarene; others are Indifferent, and
others are commencing TO appreciate
Him. The attitude Of hatred. he said,
can be easily understood when we real
ize that for centuries the name OF Jesus
has been the symbol of all the suffer.
ings the Jews have experienced at the
hands OF those who followed Hlm-"at
distance" Hatred" he continued,
"ls not TO be justified by hatred, but
We need not wonder that most Jews
are unable to forget the persecution
and ostracism which they have endured
and stil endure at the hands OF the
distant followers OF Jesus. This attl.
tude, however, represents not merely
resentment and hlgutry, but also an
incorporating adherence to pure
monothelsm."
The attitude OF Indifference, the
speaker thought was taken by the
many who had ceased 10 hate. and yer
did not care TO Investigate the claims
OF Jesus But the progressive Jews.

ing interest and a growing appreciation

The Waterman.

Undoubtedly we must look to God
for that blessed visitation OF divine In
iluences that we cali a revival. And
perhaps one Of the reasons why these
seasons OF spiritual refreshment are
not more frequent Is that we have
sought TO command them by merely
human agencies. Certainly that Is the
reason why so many so-called "reviv-
ais" have been simply periods OF nerv-
Gus excliation. barren of lasting spirit
ual results. And yet, the question
arises. Can we do nothing to secure
this blessing? The answer Of the Scrip
lures appears TO be plain that We can
do much. The very fact that we have
a desire for the blessing Is God-glyen,
and as we are true TO Il, by keeping our
minds close to His written revelation,
and by waiting upon Him In prayer,
we shall ind that our own souls are
quickered, and that the fire burning in
our hearts Is readily communicated
to others.
