Senator Frve interviewed.


CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Chairman Frye
of the senatorial committee which has
been Investigating the ndition of the
Pacific railways, arrived today enroute
to his home. Mr.. Frye said this even
ing that the trip had resulted in one
good thing at least. 1T has removed
several obstacles from the path of our
future work. he said, land the COM
mittee is now convinced that the roads
can pay their debts to the government
in full. They cannot do it at once and
l suppose nobody cares whether it is
done at once or not, but they can do it
eventually, and the committee is salts
fed on this point. Personally 1 do not
think it would be best that they paid
it at once. The people along the line
are the ones who must eventually pay
the debt, of course. 1t would not be to
their interest to push the payment"
''Do you believe the management of
the roads contemplate surrender of
the roads?'
mo, decidedly not; and neither
would any one who made a trip over
the line. Improvements, and eXpen-
sive ones, are going on every where.
At LeavenwOrth the Union Pacific is
putting up shops worth $500, 200. That
don't look much lie a surrender.
Heavy new steel rails are being put
down. l don't think they would do
that if they meant to give up the
roads,
Senator Frye left Washington with
his committee as the Pan-American
delegates were assembling, but he has

administrations"
If it means absolute free trade. it
would not. I would not vote for free
trade with the republics for good rea-
sons. There is another and more prof
liable as well as wholly practical ar
rangement that would be agreeable to
US, and that could be perfected with
them. Fer instance, we have heavy
duty on sugar grown in this country,
bu' we have heavy protective duty on
it which is wholly tax on the people.
Why not say to the South American
republics we will admit their sugar
free if some products of ours is in turn
admitted free by them:7'

Wanamaker Scored.

COLUMBIA, s. c., Nov. 1S-B. F.
Clayton was two weeks ago appointed
postmaster for Columbia vice Wade
Hampton Gibbes. The following letter
from Senator Wade Hampton was pub
lished in the News and Courier:
To Hon. John Wanamaker,
Sir: Perhaps you may rem ember, if
your memory is not treacherous, your
assurance to me a few days ago that
Mr.. Gibbes should not be removed until
the expiration of his term in February
next. Not only did you do this, but
you voluntarily assured me that, mas
much as Columbia was my postOfice,
you would, when a successor to MIR.
Gibbes was 20 be appointed, consult
me. Its matter of small Importance
to me who takes the place of Mr..
Gibbes, but as informed him in pass
ing through Columbia of the promise
you had made, you may perhaps under
stand how your action has placed me
in false position.
But it is fortunate for me that Mr..
Gibbes will know that l at least told
the truth, though was previously de-
ceived in believing what was said to
me. l shall know at least what re-
lance to place on statements emenat-
ing from the same source.
The newspapers state that besides
managing the great department over
which you preside you are running a
Sunday school in Philadelphia. and
it occurs to me that you might with
profit to yourself, select as the most
appropriate subject fer a lecture to
your pupils the instructive story of
Ananias and Sapphira. This would
give you fine field for your eloquence
in explaining to your charges the i'm
pOrtance of combining themselves to
the truth-except when some fancied
advantage might be obtained over a
political opponent. I am, your obeidi-
ent servant. WADE HAMPTON.

that they are tired of pOlygamy and do
not attach any Importance to it is
without foundation, according to his
judgment ana observation. They
nave accepted 1t as the vital part of
Snelr faith, and may be expected to ad-
mere 30 it as long as they live. The
Federal laws designed to put an end to

not surrender their belief. Their Ioy.
atty TO the church and all its doctrines
Is complete and immovable. They
recognize the authority of the
priesthood in every respect. Its
orders are supreme, and it rules
with autOcratic frmness and compre-
nenslveness. It controls politics in q
way that makes liberty of voting a
mockery; and its subjects do its bid
dlng with scrupulous fidelity. "Any
SemPoEizipg policy, !" says Gov. ThOm-
as, which leaves the church in a posi-
ton to control the political policy of
the territory is only delaying the final
settlement" There can be no SUB
stantial progress in the work of des-
eroylng the evils of MCrmonism, he in
s1sts, so long as the priesthood is per-
United to dictate the results of cleo
tons. and TO shape the general course
OF local politics. Future legislation, -
he urges, should be aimed at the po-
htical power of the church which has
been the main pillar OF its strength in
Utah" There is good reason to be-
lleve that this view is the correct one.
1t is certainly the candid and honest
view of an official having the best of
opportunities to get at the actual facts:
and congress will do well to give ii
prompt and earnest attention.

DINA Waterman published at Sails
bury has sent a mining expert to Mont
goInery county to investigate rumors
of an important gold find there, and
he reports that all the statements
about fabulous wealth having been

veins were found about half an inch in
thickness and only a few feet apart.
The ore pans out a large per cent of
pure gold. The Watchman's repre-
sentative aScertained that a bushel OF
solid gold had already been taken out
of the deposit. The place is owned by
three brothers. Two of them have

for Salisbury in response to a telegram
Great excitement is reported in the

Holzhay, BLACK Bart" now on trial
for the murder of Banker Fleischbein
of Belleville, Illinois, and the robbery OF
the Gogebic stage, took the stand in
his own defense to-day and made a con-
fession. Holzhay told the story of his

Michigan. He admitted that he
robbed the Milwaukee s. Northern

the Wisconsin Central train at Cadott,
amonth later and that he wayliad the
Gogebic stage and shot Banker Fleisch-
bein.
Holzhay claimed that he, several
years ago, was hurt by fail from a
horse and since that, time had been
subject to 'spells, during which he
did not know what he was doing. He
said he was under this '.spelln when
the various crimes were committed.

The situation in Utah.

AnC 6AeUatAOA ObdAs
The Globe-Democrat comments as
follows on the situation in Utah as de-
picted by its present governor. It
says:
The message of Gov. Thomas sup
plies some very interesting and instruc-
tive facts with regard to the condition
of things in Utah. He does not share
the belief OF those who say that Nor
monism is in the course of gradual and
certain extinction. His view Of the
situation is that the Church is praetic-
ally as strong as it has ever been, and
that the efforts made to undermine and
overthrow it have not prevented it
from steadily maintaining and increas-
ing its strength. For instance, he
shows that the accessions during the
last nine years, by foreign immigration
alene, have aggregated 1900, while
the gain from other sources has
amounted to 10000. An increase of
sc, 600, or over Is per cent, since 1880,
does not, he thinks, indicate decay
ing tendency. Mormon thrift and cap
ital have absorbed about all the avail
able land and water of the Territory;
and to hold and own the land and wa
ter. he reasonably suggests, is to hold
and own Utah in the most absolute
sense. They are peculiarly prosper
Gus people. ana tn6lr prosperity Is q
constant defense and assistance to the
Church. Their business affairs. not
less than their social concerns. are
managed with direct reference to the
safety and effectiveness Of their reli-
gious institutions; and the result at
tests the force Of their policy.
It is q grave mistake, Gov. Thomas
afirms, to th1nk that these people are
insincere, and disposed to make terms
with their oppoDents. They believe
thoroughly In the Mormon religion.

ion, If sustained, will make the terri
tory a haven of refuge for criminals,
