ONLY A FIZZLE.

Press dispatches from Kansas city
state that Bishop G. II. Fowler, OF
the M. T., church. delivered himself
on Friday at the general conference
there OF one OF his characteristic out
pourings against the 'Mormons.' 1t Il
said that he predicted that the Nor
mons In few years would have the

Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado and
Nevada Isn't that wonderful See
ing that this story has been the burden
of anti-"Mormon' attacks from press
and pulpit, pamphlet and book romance
for twenty years Fowlers gift of
prophecy looks rather dilapidated.
But why was this old terror worked

opal Representation? Why? for the
usual Methodist purpose; namely to
raise funds. The failure Of missionary
work in Utah was confessed The
causes were named as two-fold; one
the ineniclency Of the Methodist
preachers IN this State. and the other
the small amount OF cash given for
Utah work Bishop Cranston also said
"the Methodist church had practically
failed in Utah because OF the need
Of money"
When Fowler characterized the Meth
odlst preachers sent among the Nor
mons as '2 by men," the only kind
that could be got for the money, he
reused 4. c. Iliff to remonstrance. II

FROM THE ARCTIC.

According TO letter received by
Mr. Zegler from Anthony Fiala the
commander Of the ziesler expedition,
the Ice conditions In the far north are
exceptionally bad The ice pack was
encountered on rs degrees north lat,
and rs degrees 30 min. east long, and
for days the expedition was in vain
looking for an opening The writer
says the season is peculiar Numbers
OF dead birds were strewn on the cakes
OF ice; not Polar bear was seen, and
only few seals were met with. Mr..
Fiala thinks that these signs either in
dictate immense ice fields to the north,
or much open water. At all events. II
may presage a long hard winter the
effects Of which may be felt more or
less all over northern ATTITUDES. The

APPEAL TO UNCLE SAM.

According to Washington dispatches,
the Chinese minister to this country
has formally asked the United states
to aid China, in some way or another
In her present crisis. The proceedings
OF Russia in Asia are most peculiar,
and certainly not calculated to give the
Mongolians a high estimate Of western
justice. The recent demands upon
China for the murder OF an officer who
had executed criminal, Is an lllustra-
ton. Speaking OF that occurrence, a
Washington official said:
Just look at It. A Chinese
criminal who has been employed
by Russia Is turned over to the Chinese
authorities at Mukden. With that
quick application of their ideas VI pun
ishment, the Chinese execute MIN. Rus
STA then demands that the taotl of the
district IN which the execution occur
red be degraded and that the officer
under whose orders the execution was
carried out be murdered. 1t Is as II an
American criminal surrendered by Ger
many were executed in New York CITY,
and the German government demanded
that Gov Odell be dismissed and de-
graded and that Mayor Low be killed
The Chinese government agreed TO de-
grade the taotai and promised that the
officer who ordered the execution should
be banished While the matter Is be-
ing negotiated the Russian government
occupies Mukden because its demands
We're not complied with. The manner
In which Russia Is acting Is the most
shameless exhibition of the times. II
is downright robbery"
But although this is the general sen-
tment, we fear nothing will be done by
the powers for China The probability
Is that Russia is proceeding under COW
err Of some agreement, to which the
great powers Of the Old World are rar-
ties Japan has probably been silenced
by a promise OF control over Corea--a
promise that can he kept, or not, as
circumstances shall require. Great
Britain, we presume, viii be found TO
have secured the concessions she de-
sres in the Yank-tse valley, while Ger
many obtains confirmation OF her oc-
cupation Of the Shangtung peninsula,
and France some Chinese province on
the Anamesc border. The silence Of the
powers indicates an understanding
which can only mean that the division
OF China has been decreed, and n this
Is the fact, the United states Is power
less to prevent the catastrophe, even
II II were the business OF this country
to do so.

Religion received setback quarter
century ago from which II IL only now
recovering Churches have not multi

would be idle to deny that the religious
press has failed to keep pace with.th,
growth Of the people. The decli1&,jp
religion and the greater attentfofN40
religious matters in the seculart pfcss
were largely responsible for H. To
these has recently come a third weak
ening influence; advertisers IN the past
looked upon the religious weekly as q
specially desirable medium; while the
secular papers were cast aside as soon
as read, the religious journal was kept
from week to week, and was passed
from hand to hand hence advertising
was not so eVanescent as In the secular
papers But the latter developed great
circulations, larger than was possible
for any religious journal, and advertls-
ers whose methods change from time
TO time, came to look upon the size of
circulation as preferable to It's quality,
and hence passed over the religious pa
per- 80. The material reduction In
the receipts from advertising, for the
reason mentioned, has played havoc
