New York (Special).—Rev. Dr. William M. Bell, general secretary of missions of the United Brethren in Christ, of Dayton. O., speaking before the National Federation of Churchworkers at their annual conference in this city, said: "There it a \-ast territory in the West where we shall presently have a tremendous struggle with Mormonism. And there is no way in which we can grapple successfully with the spirit that possesses that great district unless w« federate and

He alto spoke of the good that would suit if the different denominations ere to co-operate for maintaining weak

It is claimed that should the peace powers and the blockading powers agree to such a principle they would incorporate in the law of nations a doctrine in conflict with the tenets of all

modern day ethics.

Moreover. Venezuela, it is stated, regards the preferential demand of the powers as objectionable, because it jypuld qjwble the continuance of the triple alliance of Great Britain, Ger^maity and Italy for a period of six years or more, and in accepting it Venezuela would be encouraging and and abetting the maintenance of hostile alliances against herself.
