AN AMERICAN MINISTER ÅROUSES

ENTHUSIASM IN LONDON..

LONDON, May 13th.* One, of the features of the annual meeting of the Congregational Union here this week was an Anglo-American demonstration on Thurs- day, when an American delegate, Rev. Dr Judson Smith, aroused intense enthusiasm by an eloquent address, in the course of which he touched upon America's gratitude for England's support at a critical moment. Dr. Smith said "Whatever friction or irritation there may have been in the past, that is all over now. We hope to prove at every time and in every emergency a friend to England, as England proved our

friend."

Dr. Fairbairn warmly welcomed Dr. Smith's utterance and expressed confidence that America's new departure meant the growth of a new religious impulse, a new moral enthu, siasm, a new divine passion in the policies of

i MORMON LEADER,

·

SALT LAKE CIty, (Utah), May 14th, Nathan Tanner Jr well-known citizen of Ogden, has formulated charges of apostasy against George Q. Cannon, a member of the first presidency of the Mormon Church. Those charges were sent by Mr. Tanner to the high council at Salt Lake City, but the clerk of the council, neting under the direction of President Angus M. Cannon, refused to receive the document. The rejection was based upon the ground that Mr. Tanner was not in good standing in the church, and, therefore, had no standing in a church court. It is felt by many that the matter is one of political hostility, prompted by a Democrat who has a quarrel with the wing of the Republican party which Cannon, represents.

It was stated at one of the foreign establish ments that there was no disposition to push the

tion of the United States Government in order that the question of liability might be deter mined and such refef granted as the merits of the cases warranted. It is appreciated in these foreign, quarters that payments will be largely a matter of discretion with the United States, as the obligation to look after the American claimants was assumed, voluntarily and there is no obligation, either in the treaty, or on general principles of law for assuming the claims growing out of Spain's inability to maintain order in Cuba daring the period of Sprinish rule. These foreign claims cover damages to plantations, personal property, etc., of French, British and German residents of Cuba, and are not connected with the bonded debt of Cuba in foreign hands, which debt was assumed in Spain.
