A LETTER FROM ILOILO.
A Story Of the First Conflict Which Didn't Get Into the First
 News Dispatches.

Major James H. McClintock yester- day received g letter from Second Lieutenant Martin L. Crimmins of the Eighteenth T. s. infantry. The letter was dated from the transport Arizona, lying in the harbor Cf Ilolo Lieuten- ant Crimmins wrote that they were waiting for the gurboat Peorel toar1ive and bombard the shore preparatory to the disembarklng of the military. The shore was lined with threatening na- tlves who were prevented from visit ing the transport by patrol system of guard boats. Two nights before the letter was written the Fiiipinos raided one of the guard boats and killed two men. The night before another guard beat was. attacked and one American was shot.
 This letter was dated a month ago, more than a week before 'the fight at Manila and at a time when the dis matches said the situation was tense at noilo, though no outbreak of any scrt had occurred.
 Lieutenant Crimmins, the writer of the letter, is q son of John D. Grim mins of New York, the celebrated con- tractor and Tamm3ny politician. The younger Crimmins was a R5ugh Rider and private Of Captain McClintccA' Troop B. After the disAanding of the First Volunteer Cavalry, Cr:mmins took examination for admi ission to the reg ula- army, passed, received the com mission of sacGnd lieutenant and was assigned to the Eighteenth infantry of General Miller's brigade at Manila.
 After Captain McClint0ck's discharge from FCrt WadsWOrth hospital he spent some time as a guest of the elder MT Crimmins.

THE COMING EMPIRE.
Hon Charles M. Shannon of Clifton Preache3 the Doctrine of
 Arizona at Denver.
Arizona is the coming empire"

Arizona is the coming empire"
 That is the opinion of c. M. Shannon Of Clifton, ArIz., who is stopping at the Albany, says Ehe Denver Republi- can. MT. Shannon is interested in the copper industry.
 T don't suppose that the vast ma jority of the people realize that Ari- zona is the third copper producing country in the wCrld," said Mr. Shan ncn. Montana ranks first, with Mich igan second and Arizona third. 1 do net think It will be many years before we are the first The output last year amounted to a little cver $20, 900, 900, and new properties are opened every day.
 |The copper industry is by no means fully developed as y6l. By this 1 mean that while we have many large covered properties. 1 myself am in Denver tc secure necessary equipment for a new mine located at Clifton which promises to be another big pro- ducer
 But copper is not our only industry in mining Our output of gold last year was about $4,000, coo and about the same amount of silver was shipped. Neither gold nor silver has been fully developed and in these metals new strikes are reported every day. The outlook for mining in Arizona is, be- lieve, as bright as anywhere on the globe.
 While mining is a big industry in Arizona, yet it is not all we have. It may be SUI prise to some to know that our hot summers are productive of tropical fruits and we raise dates, l oran9pS lemons and other fruits of tl.at variety in profusion. This is be- coming one of the great industries.
 ''The cattle industry, Of course, is | very extensive and will always remain one of the big industries of the terri tory

,Che dates of the international tug of war contest have been changed by the management from March 15, 16 and IT, to March IA, 15 and 16.

Text of the Leading Sermons
 of Yesterday.
Methodist Church in Memory Ot Washington - Christian Citizen ship Discussed al PreSbSfe:ian.

The Sunday morning service at the First Methodist Episcopal church was in commemoration of the l67 anniversary of Washington's birth day. The Rev. E. D. Me Cleary, the pastor, spoke on the theme, 'The Founder of our Freedom and the Father of Our Country George Washington, taking as his text part of the fifteenth verse of the third chapter of Judges-'The Lord raised them up a Deliverer" The fol lowing is a brief synopsis of the dis curse:
 Heroic times always provide heroic men. The spirit of heroes is one of the essential qualities of manhood. In or dinary times, it lies latent in man. hood, but when there comes the times that try mems souls, the heroism, long hidden in the heart, burns in the blood, flames out in the life and man. ifestS itself in noble deeds of devotion and daring that awaken the admira- tion of all human kind and win for their dOers imperishable renown.
 The epoch that wrought the estab- lishment of this republic, the confirma- tion of human rights and the triumph of liberty and freedom, was the most heroic period in American history The country was new, the people few and poor, but they were the descen- dants of the Pilgrims and Puritan who came to this new world for con science and freedoms sake, and they determined to build up on these west ern shores, stable and strong, a gov ernment of the people, by the peopI1 and for the people" that should never

make him worthy of the high eulogy pronounced on him by Lincoln-his only peer-when he said: Washing ton is the mightest name on earth. Long since mightiest in the cause of civil liberty; still mightiest in moral reformation. On that name no euIogy is expected. It cannot be. To add brightness to the sun or glory to the name of Washington, is alike i'm possible. Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name, and in it's naked, deathless splendor leave it shine on

CAN MARRY JUST THE SANE
The Pope's Recent Decree Makes No
Change in the Situation.

St Louis, No. Dec. 2s-Archbishop
King today received a cOnmunica ton
from AIOnsigner NIartinelh, the apostolic
delegate at Washington, saying that the
recent decree issued from Rome regard
ing indulgences and other favors from the
Pope does not in any way abridge the
faculties heretofore held by bishops and
arehhishops of issuing dispensations for
mixed marriages The message from
Mgr Martinelli was in reply to a request
from the archbishop for ruling the
matter. Archbishop Corrigan of the New
York diocese, last week sent a circular to
his clergymen which gave rise to the re-
port that no dispensati0ns could be OBJ
tanned during the jubilee year. except
directly from the vatican. The statement
of the apostolic delegate efectually set
ties this question
1t is explained that the dispense ton for
the marriage of a Catholic and one of a
different faith is only issued in the name
Of the Holy Father. the pope Without
the seal of the Holy See the document
would have no authority. So that. in this
case, the wish of TIE pope that Rome shall
be "the real fountain of mercy and spirit
ual favors for the Catholics of the entire
world during the coming year will still
be fully carried out The decree referred
to it is now understood related only to
certain indulgences which are ordinarily
within the faculties of the archbishOps
and their ministers.

City Of Mexico, Dec 2s-The Liberal

December next year. It is the wish of
the National Liberal party committee
to procure a full and free expression of

the candidates. The convention of the
party Will assemble here probably in
January to nominate candidates and
the plebiscite is wanted as a guide to
the convention in its Iabors.
There is a steady stream of letters
and kilograms received requesting that
President Diaz accept the nomination
and it is a remarka bic fact that thOus-
ands of members Of the clerical party
have given their adhesion to his candi-
dacy on the ground that the country's

there be no change in the executive at
this time. The influence of the higher
clergy is on the side OF President Diaz.

the vatican, which has recognized the
republic as it has also done in France.

Mali will wave its green flag in a last
farewell, and the old Dummy" as it
was more often called in recent years,
viii run no more after quarter of
century of active existence.
Away back in the early seventies the
Irish Mail service was established by
the Union Pacific to fly between Omaha
and the Union Pacific transfer on the
Council Bluffs side. In those days
all trains from the east stopped short at
Council Bluffs, and everything was
there transferred to the Union Pacific.
So. unless they were through passen-
gers, every Omaha arrival had to trans
fer to the Irish Mail' TO come across,
for which a quarter has always been
charged, unless the original tickets read
to Omaha. AS the years went by the
eastern trains began to make Omaha
their western terminus. SO there became
less transferring by the Dummy or

began running through to South Omaha
