ROOSEVELT HAS QUIET DAY.
President Attends Church at Grand Is-
 land, Neb.-WllI Make a Talk.

Grand Island. Neb., April 26.-President Roosevelts day in Grand Island was quiet. His train arrived early this morn- ing. It was run into the yards and the President and his party remained aboard. The President attended St. Stephens Episcopal church. The sermon was preached by the rector, the Rev. L.. A. Arthur. In the afternoon the President went for horseback ride, accompanied by Senator Deitrich. They rode out to Taylor's sheep ranch and then around to the soldiers home, where the President greeted the veterans. Tn ride was about fifteen miles. The day was extremely disagreeable on account of the high wind, which blew clouds of dust in every dlrec- tion. Tn order that the President ana his party might be free from dust clouds while in the train the fire department stretched a hose around the cars and kept the g. ound sprinkled.
 The President will make a short ad- dress tomorrow morning and at 9:15 will leave for Hastings. Neb. He will reach Omaha at 5:05 o'clock tomorrow after noon He will spend the night in Omaha. w. w.

WILL APPEAL TO EMPEROR.
Mormons Are Anxious to Continue
 Work in Germany.

Berlin, April 26-Hugh J. Cannon, the Norman missionary, intends to appeal to Emperor William for permission for the Mormons to remain in Germany, hoping that his majestys policy of religious tol- erance may include the Mormons
 In his petition MT Cannon sets forth the morality of Mormon doctrines and refers to the inability of his adversaries to cite any example which the Mormon teachings have been subservise of the laws of the state or of orderly citizenship; he declares also that the command of the supreme head of the church polygamy is not taught
 Mr Cannon has sent to the emperor and the empress copies of the book of Nor mon literature in German. If no aid is extended to the Mormon missionaries by Emperor William and if the orders of ex- pulsion are enforced. all the missionaries will leave quietly.
 MT Cannon expects the United States to intervene in cases where missionaries have been maltreated. as for instance In the affair at Olsenbruelk, Prussia. last January, when two missionaries were dragged through the streets of the town, md imprisoned for three days.
 They were deported to Hanover where they were again placed in jail and later rent on to Hamburg. Affidavits of these ,ccurances have been forwarded to Sena- tors Kearns and Shoot who, it is stated here. have asked Secretary Hay to de- mand an apology from Germany in this matter on the ground that the American citizens were treated brutally.
 Among the converts to Mormonism in Germany are several policemen who were yents to observe the missionary meetings

ashington, April 2e.-(SpeciaD.-"rh The democratic party in Indiana is getting back Into its old form. In fact I believe the same to be true of the party in the nation. I think my state will be found In the democratic column next year, and the general result will mean the election of democratic President"
 Representative Griffith of the Fourth Indiana district, who is in Washington today, made the above statement.
 As to the man to be nominated there seems to be considerable doubt among iadiana democrats" added MT. Griffith. Indiana has been a pretty strong Bryan state-far stronger than Is generally sup posed. However, there is not a Bryan man in Indiana who does not recognize that Bryan can't win, and therefore there is the utmost desire to harmonize and concentrate our forces upon some demo- erat who can give the republicans a race f'ar their money. Senator German of Maryland is probably the strongest man of any of those who have been mentioned

GRIFFITH BELIEVES
 GORMAN THE MAN
,ngressnan Says His State is for German for the locratic Nomination, and Thinks He Can be
 Elected in 1904 on the Tariff Issue.
ey PATTERSON sTEALEY.

l am satisfied that there is more senti- ment for the Marylander in Indiana than there is for Judge Alton B. Parker of New York, or any other man who Is spoken of for the first place on the ticket. German Is a good all around man. He has been tried and has shown his worth. It seems to me that the party ought to nominate some man who has had public experience, and Senator Cor man fills the bill.
 "In my opinion the main issue in the next campaign will be the tariff," con- cluded MT. Griffith.
 There is undoubtedly a strong senti- ment all over the country for tariff re- vision. Nearly every republican member of congress admits that the tariff ought to be revised in some particular, but very few of them can agree upon the revision of even one schedule The consequence is that the republican party Is practically solid against any desirable revision, ana can be depended upon to maintain the present tariff rates. It seems to me that this affords the democratic party splen- did opportunity and winning issue"

farewell honors to the British sovereign.
 Aside from it's spectacular features, the visit of King Edward is leading to wide range of speculation in the matter of its political significance. French officials state freely that this visit marks d long step towards the re-establshment of the cordial relations between France and Great Britain, which were strained by reason of the Fashoda incident and the Boer war They say also that 1t Is an evidence that the foreign policy of Great Britain hereafter will be sympathetic to- wards Portugual, Italy and France, the three countries visited by King Edward. Hints are also given that the visit vii. lead to better state of feeling between Russia and Great Britain and that later King Edward possibly may visit St. Petersburg.

Without word the mob started with the prisoner toward the new bridge being constructed across the Mississippi, where he was hanged to an oak tree without ceremony or delay.
