Tomorrow is the day we celebrate.
It is Maryland Day, and the anniver-
sary of the landing of the Maryland
pilgrims at st. Clements Isle. Ii
was observed in the schools and col
leges today. as tomorrow is not a
school day The honor of the edict
belongs to Cecilius Calvert, Lord
Baltimore. His ambition led him TO
attempt the settlement of lands in the
New World, and he obtained a grant
of land south of Newfoundland, which
he called Avalon. He also desired to
obtain possession of the Carolinas, and
Charles l. granted him this colony.
This grant was, however, stoutly OPP
posed by those interested in the Vir-
ginia Company, and was abandoned,
aud Calvert instead took up n grant
of tract of land on both sides of the
Chesapeake, from the Potomac 20 the
Delaware, South Pennsylvania and "a
strip of West Virginia. A charter for
this was made, but before il passed
the great seal, George Calvert died
and it was issued to his eldest son,
Cecilius Calvert. The name of the
new colony. as given in the charter,
Maryland, was a compliment to
the Queen of Charles l., Henrietta
Maria. No state has more to be proud
of than Maryland. She has mag
nificent record. She is the Land of
the Sanctuary" where all religious
sects may dwell together in peace and
harmony and thank God for religious
freedom.

MORMONS REBEL
Cannon Is Expelled and Mer.
chant lacked Up

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March a.
The controversy Of eX-United States
Senator Frank NJ. Cannon, editor Of the
Salt Lake Tribune, with the authorities
of the Mormon church. which was fol-
lowed by the withdrawal of fellowship
from Mr. Cannon by the bishops court
at Ogden, resulted today in the issu-
ance of an order from the Weber stake,
sitting at Salt Lake City, expelling Mr.
Cannon from the church. The action
was based on editorials written by Mr..
Cannon assailing the policy of the
heads of the church.
Coincident with the excommunica-
tion of Editor Cannon was the filing of
charges today against Charles NJ.
SmurJhwait, a merchant OF Ogden and
a Mormon of influence. summoning him
before the bishops court to answer for
alleged rebellious utterances. Smurth-
wait, basing his action upon the Can
non case, had addressed to his bishop
an appeal for free speech, demanding
also that the church retire from political
domination of the state and from COM
mercialism, demanding an accounting
al the next general conference in April
or all the church moneys and of the
property of President Smith since he
became president and demanding also
that membrs of the church obey the
laws of the land.

PLEAD FOR PEABODY
His Supporters Make Startling
Propositions

DENVER, Colo, March 1.-THE
anti-Peabody members of the legisla-
ture and others who are opposing the
seating of Peabody as governor, have
lost none of their spirit of confidence
as result of the Peabody strength
evinced by the vote on the motion to
adjourn in the joint assembly today.
Representative Johnson of Pueblo
who voted with the Peabody forces. is
sued a statement tonight in which he
said that he did not believe Peabody
was elected governor and he would
vote against seating him. This state
ment has assured the nti-Peabody
people, who claim that they still have
~ Republicans who will vote with
them, and this number, together with
the ii Democrats, assures them the
number to make a majority.
The anti Peabody Republicans gave
out story tonight that they were Wis
lted In their rooms today by delega-
ton of Peabody leaders, who implored
them to vote to seat Peabody, pledging
their word that he would resign in
sixty days and be succeeded by Lieut..
Gov. Mcdonald. Not succeeding in
this plan, they say, the Peabody lead
ers asked that their man be seated If
only for day, in order to vindicate
their claims that he was legally elect
ed. They (the Peabody leaders, agreed
10 place Peabodys resignation, proper
ly signed, in the hands of a commit
tee named by the Mcdonald men $50
called anti -Peabodyites), to be used
when they felt so inclined. All these
propositions We're spurned.

DEMOCRATS ARE
ALL AGAINST TREATY
Dominican Instrument Cannot
Be Ratified, 1t Is
Found

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE dis
cussion of the Dominican treaty in
executive session OF the senate today
resulted in the drawing OF party lines.
The Democrats who have been report
ed as likely to support the treaty will
return to the fold, it is said, and on
both sides Of the chamber 1t is ad-
mitted there is little prospect that the
convention will be ratified. Senator
German, the minority leader, gave no.
tice today that all the Democratic SEN
ators are now pledged against the
treaty. The Republicans had decided
to recall their absentees, but it was
reported to them that even with the
Republican strength here, the neces-
sary two-thirds for ratification could
not be mustered if there is no defec-
tion of the Democrats.
Today the suggestion was made that
consideration be postponed until after
an investigation has been made of all
the conditions in Santo Domingo, in
Guiding the character of the claims
and the stability of the Dominican gov
ernment and the force that would be
required to keep il intact. This propo-
sition came from the Democrats and is
credited to Senator German. 1t has
not met with favor, largely because of
the indifference as to the fate of the
treaty which was expressed by a num-
Der of Republican senators.
The affirmative and negative on the
treaty took on a partisan bias today.
Senators Teller, Morgan and other
Democrats opposed the treaty and
criticised the administration severely.

The revolt of the French bankers is
considered by the London newspapers
as the most hopeful and important
news Of the day promising an early
conclusion of peace. Apparently the
proposed loan has not been absolutely
refused, but only postponed" This,
however, is regarded here as being
tantamount to a refusal, and is ex-
pected to speak louder to the Russian
war party than Kuropatkin's reverse
at Mukden. 1t is the general belief
that by the death of Mons. Germain,
the late governor of the Credit Lyon
naise, Russian lost her strongest
financial friend in France and that had
he been alive no difficulty would have
been experienced. With the American
and English markets closed to her, it
is thought Russia can turn only to
Germany, who is not likely to be much
more responsive than France, and the
only alternative would seem to be to
make peace.
reports are current here that Japan
will now demand an indemnity of be-
tween $500,000,000 and $3.50, 0,000, 900.
