In an article on Che conditions In
Utah in iS4S, that appeared in the
News on Saturday, April 4, the writ
er inadvertently stated that events
that spring made 1t Impossible to hold
an April conference. II was about that
time that Utah was threatened with
a war" as result Of the false repre-
sentat.on that there was rebellion
In tho Territory, But the SAINTS
were not too busy to hold conference

Tabernacle in this city. only two
sessions were held, however Accord

sustained, and sermons appropriate to
the stirring times. were delivered.
The history of Utah at that time is
not without its lessons to those now
living. Governor Cumming came to
Utah under the Impression that 1t was
necessary for him to have an army

he could enforce the sovereignty of the
government. He had not been In this

a VENEZUELA PRECEDENT.

Washington dispatches state that the
case of the Venezuela Steam Naviga-
ton company against Venezuela, may
furnish a precedent by which the pos
sible development of the present con-
troversy may be judged. The Steam
Navigation company controversy drag
ged it's weary course through several
administrations. After twenty years of
fruitless negotiations by the state de-
partment in an endeaVor TO obtain sat
israction for the high-handed seizure
of the companys boats in 1874, a set
tloment was secured. but not until u
Joint resolution was passed, which

thorizing him ito take such measures
as in his Judgment may be necessary
to promptly obtain indemnity from the
Venezuelan government for the in
juries, losses, and damages suffered by
the Transportation company" Then a
board Of arbitration was appointed at
the solicitation of Venezuela, which
awarded damages of about $4,000 tn
the American company.
Venezuela cannot AFFORD TO lose the
friendship of the United States. She

present controversy to arbitration, II

scented in unmistakable terms.
