HAS HAD REVELATIONS.
Statement of President Joseph H..
Smith of the Mormon Church.

Salt Lake, March 21.-Joseph F.
Smith, president OF the Mormon
Church last Sunday, in public adj
dress in the Tabernacle, modified and
explained his statement made in the
Senate investigating committee at
Washington to the effect that he had
received no revelations from God. In
his address to-day President Smith is
quoted as saying with reference to the
revelation:
In Washington I refused to say
what my inquistors wanted me to say
in order to get me into a trap, that is
to say that God had given be revela-
ton on some new law or precept
which was to be included and written
in the laws of the church. Did you
ever hear me deny that l had been
guided by God? No, no man ever heard
me say this.
when l was first baptized as
child, God revealed to me that had
done an act which he approved. God
also revealed to me that Joseph Smith
was prophet of God, raised up by
the power of the Almighty. He re-
vealed to me in terms incontrovertible
that Brigham Young succeeded law
fully to the presidency of the church by
the will of the Almighty. He revealed
to me that John Taylor was the divine
successor of Brigham Young. that VIII
ford Woodruff was the divine success
sor Of John Taylor, that Lorenzo Snow
was the divine successor of MILFORD
Woodruff. leave it to you to say
whether it is right and lawful for me
to be in this position.
Il fervently believe that God has,
made manifest to me many glorious
things ant much more wisdom than is
inherent in myself and will continue to
do SO as long as 1 am ready TO listen
when he speaks"

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION
IN a MASSACHUSETTS, FACTORY
Boiler Bursts and Kills Scores Of Pso-
pie-shop Entirely eurned-Many
Injured and Missing.


Injured and Missing.
Brockton, Mass. March ci.-The ex.
plosion OF a 150-horse power boiler In
r. G. Grover & Co.'S large four-story
frame shoe factory in the Campello
district yesterday killed scores OF en-
ployes. injured half hundred others
and destroyed property valued at
s250, 1000.
At midnight the remains OF fifty
three persons had been recovered from
the ruins. Seven bodies have been
identified. but only three or four posi-
lively.
Fifty-three persons are known to be
still missing. the names of thirty-one
of whom have been obtained. Many
others are reported missing. but 1t is
considered possible that some OF them
are at their homes.
The explosion was Immediately fol-
lowed by flash of fame, which con-
sumed the factory, a long. four-story
structure, as IL it were a house of
cards. and incinerated an unknown
number OF men and women who were
unable to extricate themselves from
a mass Of tangled wreckage formed
by the terrific upheaval in the boiler
room.
More than fifty OF the employees in
the building were manned, burned or
bruised by the time they reached safe
ground. Some had jumped from the
roof, some from windows. and others
had been injured in the mad rush to
escape from the doomed factory
which from all parts emitted the heat
of an inferno, driving back the band
of heroic rescuers, who in a few mo-
ments had performed gallant service.
The fire extended from the factory
to seven other buildings in the vicinity
and destroyed them One of these
buildings was ,threestory wooden
block owned by Charles f. Dahlborg
the others being cottages OF small
value and a blacksmith shop.
Two wooden dwellings near the en-
CINE room were practically demol-
ished by the flying boiler. but none of
the occupants were seriously injured.
The explosion. which was followed
by such a sacrifice of life, and en-
tailed appalling instances of human
suffering, occurred shortly after the
operatives had settled down to work
for the day and without warning sud
denly the air yibrated with the roar
Of an explosion. At the same moment
the large wooden frame OF the factory,
a four-story structure. quivered and
then the rear portion of it collapsed.

PROSPECTS OF PEACE
STRONG INFLUENCES AT WORK.

| Russian Minister Thinks Japan Can
|, Afford to Be ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Fighting Would Only Profit Rivals
| Of Both Countries.
St Petersburg. March 20.-Whfle
Emperor Nicholas. whose word is final,
still declines to abandon the prosecu-
ton of the war, and the government
mainstains its ability to continue the
conflict. the Associated Press is in a
position to state that powerful infiu-
ences, including several of the en-
peror's own ministers, are now
strongly urging that the time has
come to indicate to Japan Russia's
desire for peace upon a reasonable
basis.
Should Japan then attempt to i'm
pose too onerous conditions, these in
fiuences argue that, in view Of the uni
versal wish to see the bloody conflict
ended, Russia's position will be
strengthened abroad by the alienation
of sympathy from Japan and the situa-
ton at home improved when the ma
tion is made to understand that the
emperors pacific proposals have been
met with impossible terms.
One of the emperor's ministers in a
conversation with the Associated
Press said:
1--WE have suffered By utter defeat
on land and sea- We can, however.
still continue the war. But both coun-
tries have suffered losses in both blood
and treasure, and it would only profit
the rivals of both were we to fight on
until one or the other is exhausted.
Russia has had a hard task fighting
the war against such adversaries 5000
miles from home, and l contend she
can make a dignified peace without
glory, but not without honor.
"As the victor on land and sea.
Japan can afford to remember, as Bis
marck did at the conclusion of the
Austro-Prussian war, that two coun-
tries which must live through the long
future as neighbors may need each
others friendship. Japan may con-
slider the time propitious, on account
of the situation III European Russia.
to try and crush us. Suppose. for the
sake of argument, she succeeded in
finally forcing a humiliating peace; it
could not be more than an armed
truce. Russia is too big and powerful
to retire permanently from the field.
The clouds at home will eventually
roll away. With the army and navy
recognized in five, ten or fifteen years
there will come inevitably our re-
venge. No permanent peace is posi-
BILE now or later unless Japan is rea-
sonable."

DoINGs AT WASHINGTON


The Panama Canal Commission has
prepared and fled with the secretary
OF war reply to criticisms made on it's
conduct Of affairs on the isthmus Of
Panama by DIR. G. A. l.. Reed, In q let
ter to the secretary dated March I'd.
The charges are considered In detail.
Taking up DIR. Reeds criticisms OF the
organization Of the health department.
the commission say that DIR. Reeds as
sertion that much OF the report of the
plan on organization was formulated
pver the respectful protest OF the med
ical men is without any foundation
whatever.
Notifications of the suggestions sub
mitted by the medical staff were made
from day to day until a plan acceptable
to both the commission and to the med
ical staff was worked out which must
stand on its merits. They say that the
organization of this department was
perfectly satisfactory to the sanitary
officer and his associates. The com
missioners fatty contradict DR.. Reeds
statement that authority to purchase
an x-ray outfit In Washington was de-
MED.
The salaries of medical officials on
the isthmus are quoted to refute the
charge that the commission wants
cheap doctors there.
Exception is taken to DR.. Reeds
structures on the salaries paid to
clerks. The commissioners say that
their system contemplates an advance
of about twenty-five per cent. on sal
aries paid In the United States and
that the plan has been carefully
worked out.
In REPUTATION OF the charge made by
DR.. Reed that the commission is re-
sponsible for the presence of yellow
fever on the isthmus. letter from the
commission of February LIST to Chief
Sanitary Officer Georgias is quoted. In
that letter the opinion is expressed
that the appearance of the fever Is not
traceable to delay In the importation
of medical supplies.
Reference is made to the efforts of
the commission to introduce a whole
some water supply as the only effect
We way of killing off mosquitoes and pre-
venting fever in Panama. Much atten-
ton is given to other efforts of the
commission to stamp out fever in that
city. and it is claimed that in this
work the commission has acted up to
the entire limit of its authority"
