ing than on previous days. At the parochial school people struggled for a place near one of the three doors. The wonder is that half a dozen babies borne in their mothers' arms were not severely hurt, and only one woman fainted.

No cures of a miraculous nature were reported, though a number of visitors felt improved in health, after consultation with the priest. Tomorrow is St. Anthony's day, and an immense crowd is expected to be present. The church and chapel have been especially decorated for the occasion.

Irrigation Convention.

There were no visiting brethren with us, nor were there many people from the remote wards. This chiefly due to the busy time of the year, as at Woodruff and St. Joseph the dams have not yet been repaired so as to get the water out.

Many subjects of interest
spoken upon and much instruction
were
given to the Saints which was calcul-
ated to strengthen them,

to the bereaved wives and children in their temporary separation from an indulgent husband and father.

The School Bond Election.

Only a small proportion of citizens voted at the school bond election, held in Independence Hall June 12th, for the issuance of $600,000 bonds. The vote, however, was much larger than at the election illegally conducted by the Utah Commission a few months

ago.

The vote by precincts is as follows:

"We acknowledge the good wis done by the Irish in the service of the church in America, but we also wist to protect the interests of German an other Catholic immigrants.”

From another source the correspon dent obtained a view of the secobu memorial, which has been distributed to all the cardinals, in support of Cshensly's scheme. This second memorial was drafted and printed with the greatest secrecy. It recapitulates the arguments and statements of the other memorial to the Pope, and asserts that the great loss in the number of the faithful in America is due to the absence of Catholic schools.

It also quotes a statement as coming from the Catholic News of New York City to the effect that 330,000 Catholie children are lost to the faith each year in New York alone.

mentous questson squarely before the

unanimously adopted:

debate was

Whereas, A radical change has taken place in the political situation in this Territory, the progressive people of various parties having determined to bury old strifes, to dissolve merely local combinations, and to make national questions paramount;

Whereas, Both Democrats and Republicans who formerly united with the socalled "Liberal" party for the purpose of overcoming the People's party have severed that connection and have organized under their respective party titles and principles;

And Whereas, It is desirable that the dissensions and struggles which have heretofore hindered the development and progress of this Territory should be left behind and obliterated in the march of its people toward their high destiny.

Now, therefore, Be it Resolved, That it is the sense of the Territorial Central Committee of the People's Party of Utah, that the party throughout the Territory should dissolve and leave its members free to unite with the great national parties according to their individual prefer

ences.
