 The following is copied from a letter from MT. James s. Birchett under date of February p: You see by this that I am in Payson. I came up here to meet mining parties to whom I have bonded our property, and to see how the development is progressing. I find that the men working in the shaft have developed a fine ore body. At depth of 300 feet we have struck four feet of ore that will mill S25 to $30 per ton, and with good indica- tiOns of improving as we attain depth. The winter here has been quite severe. It has been fourteen degrees below Zero-the coldest that has been known for years, though stockmen tell me that very few cattle have died, and if it turns off warm HOW the cattle will pull through in good shape. Feeders are starting in at good price. There is a buyer here now who is offering S17, S19 and $21 per head for ones, twos and threes, but he is not getting many at that price. There is lots of snow up here. All the little hills have spots on the north side and the mountains are still white, even on the south side; so you can rest assured that the farmers of Salt River valley will have plenty of water this season" |"

FIRE IN DULUTH.
The Chamber of Commerce Gutted
 Last Night.

Duluth, Minn., Feb. 27.-The cham Der of commerce, one of the largest and most costly of the buildings Tn the city, was partially destroyed by fire last night. The origin of the fire is a mystery, and it caused the hre- men hard struggle before it was got ten under control, owing to the fact that the building is in the form of two wings with a broad passage in the rear.
 The building was supposed to be fire proof, but burned briskly in spite of the fact that twenty lines of hose poured ton after ton of water on it for more than two hours. At mid night the blaze was under control, but not until after the greater part of the interior had been gutted by the flames.
 The insurance on the building is all placed by the mortgagee, the New York Life Insurance company in New York The amount is $125,C00, but the companies are not known here. The loss is about S20,000.

throwing rocks at each other and starr
new? All hands have made mistakes ana
the material for a perfect party DOES
not exist.
Cooperation was effected III 1871 TO
get Il new election law. yet it IS fact
That the Populists polled more votes I'M
der the Democratic law tnan they dti
under the law passed by the Legislature
elected on that issue. The new law
has strengthened the gold standard and
negro party and made t able to dictate
terms to the POpuliSrs.
Our Populists friends must admlt that
they are not as strong now as they were
in 1924 and cannot carry slnale coun-
tv in the State without the aid Of the
negro party. TO get anything for them
selves they must consent to DIVISION
with the Republicans, and their expo
ripnce in the last Legislature shows thai
having released the Republican tiger they
are Dowcrless to control him. The pres
cnt shameful state of affairs has come
to pass in spite of the good intentions
of the rank and file of the Fopulists, who
have found themselves unable to control
the Republicans and the corrupt element
of their own party.

TIME FOR WHITE MEN TO UNITE.

Some days ago we printed that the Re
publicans of Mecklenburg county made
it condition Of fusing with the I'opu-
lists that the Popu!istS sh1.id accept
Walter Il. Henry as their leader. The
Mecklenburg Populists Indignantly de
clIned to accept such dictation, ana call
ed a convention to nominate Il straight
ticket
The Clinton Democrat, in printing al
account of the Populist convention IN
Duplin county, says:
'Mr. Maury Ward. the present mem
Der of the Legislature from Dupin, was
not re-nominated. 1t is said that he was
left off by order of Abe Middleton. the
negro politician, who is said to control
Populist politics in Duplin."
What next?
The time has now come to take the
advice the Caucasian gave i'll 1892, to
bury differences in North Carolina,
''where Anglo-Saxon rule and good
government is the paramount issue"
If any one had suggested ut the
Snachet precinct, in Duplin county, ten
years ago that the time would come
when the white men of Duplin county
would accept the dictation of Abe Mid
dleton or any other negro, that man
would have been sent to the asylum as
a raving lunatic. And yet, according to
the Democrat, Duplin county has reach
ed that low depth, and some men are
taking this negro's orders who once had
the faith of Vance. But there will be
fewer and fewer of them as the days
go by, and on election day the white peo
pie of Duplin county will throw OF the
political supremacy of Abe Middleton
the negro boss.

WHY ne WAS DROPPED.

Mr.. w. +. Marshall, Democratic post
master at Gastonia, held commission
that will not expire for two years. and
yet he was removed at the instance of
Congressman Linney. Iii 1891, when
Linney was first elected to Congress, he
went down to CASTOR county to speak.
Mr.. Marshall, editor of the Gazette, SAID
OF him and his speech:
"Linney has not often bean seen in
these parts. He has one of The brazpnest
and ugliest faces you ever saw. Were
he a burglar he would not need any
tools If he would just peep through
the key-hole and screw up his face,
'twould unlock any door in the country.
But he is an interesting speaker, is very
well able to make the best of bad
cause He soon astGunds you so with
his brass that you forget how ugly he
is"
Marshall was the postmaster decapita-
ted and he thinks this paragraph brought
the guillotine into execution.

Who Knows Best.

The question as to whether Col Har-
ries, of the First District of Columbia
Volunteers. is also brigadier general
commanding the District militia. or
not. is not one of absorbing interest
outside of the circle Immediately con-
nected with the controversy. If the
Administration is Indifferent to the fu-
ture of the local National Guard and
inclines TO regard it as only useful for
social and parade purposes. it will mat
ter little whether Harries or some other
innocuous stick in blue and brass is in
nominal command. On the other hand,
If il should occur to the authorities
that il would be we'll to take advantage
of the present occasion. and proceed TO
make the District boys into a crack
corps of citizen troops, little if any in.
ferior in efficiency and fighting power
to the best type of regulars, then, of
course. it is another matter, and care
should be taken to furnish the force
with competent officers.
Aside from that consideration. no
body appears to care much whether
Harries is, or is not, allowed TO be a
colonel of one service and a brigadier
of another, or either. AS to the rights
and equities involved in his contention
that he is entitled to rank as a double
barreled hero with a star on one shoul-
der and an eagle on the other, there
is room for little interest, as prece-
dent may be of some Importance in the
instances Of other commissioned Off
GERS.
Harries makes out an elaborate if
not convincing case for himself The
judge advocate general of the army.
Gen. G. Norman Lieber, at least is not
convinced. and we presume that we
shall not be accused of immodesty in
saying that he is peculiarly the man
who ought to know something on the
subject. After a careful review of the
law, Gen. Lieber says: The fact that
he (Harries) and the other officers and
men voluntarily entered the United
States service for two years. and thus
put it out of their power to serve in
their capacities as militiamen during
that time, in my opinion constitutes
an abandonment of their offices and
places in the militia organization
Nothing hurts us worse than to seem
TO show any partiality, but, as be-
tween the opinions of Harries and the
judge advocate general of the United
States army, we are almost compelled
to suspect that the latter may be right.

Admiral Dewey,s sword of Honor.

tfFon harpers NeeklF)
The sword of honor to be presented to Rear
Admiral Dewey was authorized by the joint reso>
luton of Congress approved June 8. Is9s and in
response to the publication of the resolution
great many designs were submitted. The COM
mittee consisted -of Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Charles H. Allen United States Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts,. who in
troduced the joint resolution. and Prof Marshal
Oliver, of the United States Naval Academy, An
napolis Maryland. The design chosen was that
of Mr.. Pauding Farnham. of the house of Tiffany
& Co, and member of the National Sculpture
Society.
The sword, with the exception OF the steel
blade and the body metal of the scabbard. will
be made entirely of pure gold 22kaat fine ;the grip
will be covered with fine shark skin, bound with
gold wire and inlaid with gold stars. Above the
shark k-skin the handle terminates in richly carv-
cd and enameled gold collar and pommel; mar
band of oak leaves unites the shark k-skin to
the collar; then comes the arms of the admiraps
native State, Vermont, with the motto, Free
dom and Unity and above this and spreading
toward the top is the Great Seal of the United
States. with the blue field of the shield in en-
amel. The shield in the arms of Vermont is also
enameled. The collar is surmountsd with a close
ly woven wreath Of oak leaves. the standard
decoration for rank, and the intervening spaces
between the decorations are studded with stars
On the pommel is carved the name of the bat
tleship Olympia and the zodiacal sign for the
month of December, when Dewey was born.
The guard is composed of a conventional eagle
terminating in a claw clasping the top. the
outspread wings forming the guard proper. The
eagle bears laurel wreath in its beak
The scabbard will be OF thin steel, damaskeen
in gold with sprays of Ros marinus. signifying
fidelity constancy, and remembrance The sprays
are interlaeed in the form of a series OF car
touches with a star in the center of eaeh whilc
,dolphns fill the outer spaces. Sprays OF oak
leaves and acorns secure the rings and trappings
of the scabbard; above these, the front of the
scabbard. is a raised monogram in brilliants
(diamonds) entwining the letters. &c. D. and
Immediately under them the letters ~. S.
NJ surrounded by sprays OF Ros marinus. The
ferrule, or lower end of the scabbard, terminates
in entwined gold dophins.
The swordblade is damaskeened with the in
scription:
The Gift of the Nation to Rear Admiral George
Dewey u. S. N. in memory OF the Victory
at Manila Bay, May l, 1898.
The Phoenician galley, representing the first
craft of the worlds naves. supplies the rest of
the ornament on this side of the blade. On the
other side of the blade is shown the flight of
the eagles of victory bearing festoons of laurel.
The mounting of the belt and the trappings
will be the regulation buckles. pie.ced slide rings
and swivels-all of 22-karat gold, and ornamented
with the oak leaves and acorns. The bullion tas

and will be much superior to those usually en-

illuminating the Soldiers.

Only one inference can be drawn
from the action of the War Depart
ment in the case of Chaplain Carsten-
sen, Of the One Hundred and Fifty
eighth Indiana Regiment. That officer
on his return to Indianapolis from
Camp Thomas told some little part of
the truth about the situation there
recited some of the horrors that are
more fully noted in the Official report
of board of inquiry AS soon as his
statements were printed, the War De-
partment sent a telegram, asking
whether he made them. To anyone
who has kept trace of the scandals
affecting this camp, it is plain that
this is an attempt to silence the re-
turned soldiers under an implied threat
of court-martial.
The War Department knows that the
chaplain's story is true 1t has full
evidence as to the facts 1t knows the
chaplain cannot add to the shocking
tale one new fact. Therefore it can
have no other conceivable purpose than
to intimidate the volunteers who are
disposed to reveal the damning truth.
If the chaplain should deny any part
of the interview or should become apol-
ogetic, the most would be made of it
to prove that the scandals are the ere
ations Of the newspapers. If, however,
he should stand by his words. he would
never hear from the department again.
II is to be considered that the site
and condition of Camp Thomas were
condemned by a board of army Off
GERS, who urged the immediate re-
moval of the troops. The findings were
exactly the reverse of Gen. Boynton's.
whose censures of the regimental and
company officers were declared to be
undeserved. Then followed the report
of commission of army surgeons, who
took the testimony of colonels. sur
geons, captains, lieutenants, and pri-
Yates who were nurses, as to abuses
they had themselves witnessed. This
testimony was further supported by
statements of several officers and es-
pecially the chaplain of the Ninth New
York Regiment. There was revealed
condition in the hospital too horrible
TO be fully described in the newspapers.
SO shocking a degree of neglect and
positive abuse has never been reached
anywhere in the world. 1t is record
making.
Yet with this testimony before it
which it did not give to the public as it
did Boynton's report-the War Depart
ment gets after Hoosier chaplain for
telling what he-saw. If the War De-

and City. twenty sick men of the Twelfth
who had been in hospitals there, Joined
the regiment and were taken TO Jersey
City. where the soldiers expected to
board trains and proceed at once TO their
destinations
The Government contract for the trans
portation OF the troops called for Pullman
cars. When the men of the Twelfth ar
rived at the depot they found the rail-
road company had trains of day coaches
waiting for them. When Major Hum
phreys saw this. he refused 10 let them
board the train, and sent for the agent of
the railroad.
My men are not cattle" he said. "and
they sha!l' not travel like cattle. The
Government has contracted for Pullman
coaches, and my men will not leave these
yards except in Pullman cars"
The agents declared that owing to the
large number of their contracts with the
Government all available Pullman cars
were in use, and that it was impossible
for them TO supply them for the Twelfth.
Very WELL" said Major Humphreys.
''we will stay here at your expense until
they are provided"
He at once ordered his men 10 make
themselves as comfortable as they could
in the freight yards freight depOts, and
in the Pennsylvania railroad passenger
depot. The very sick were taken to the
hospital of the Soldiers Relief Committee
in the passenger station. There were
only about twelve cots available for them,
and many suffered greatly during the
night for lack OF proper sleeping quarters,
Today the railroad officers supplied
enough Pullman coaches to accommodate
the regiment and the weary men finally
departed.

Remarkable Resolutions.
The War Department has received from

resolutions of the Society of Ceramic Cor

From the record of the twenty-first
general assembly. 1898, of the Society of
Ceramic Corporations, held at the Palast

Mr.. Philip RosenthaI-Selb called the
society's attention to the fact that. ac-
cording to his personal knowledge, an
unfair feeling exists. not only amongst
the general public. but also in business
circles. against the United States of
America. and that a large majority of the
German political daily papers have taken
very excited and unfair tone against
the military and naval operations of the
United States against SPAIN
Tt would therefore be very desirable
that the Verband Keramischer Gewerke

that the above named society disapproves
of these hostile manifestations of the
German press and people, and regrets
their unfair actions exceedingly, as the
society thoroughly agrees with the i'm

THE motion found warm and unani-

and it was resolved to send the above to
all Ceramic papers in the United States
