The Secretary replies that he viii pay

caused by the Hawaiian government
and not by the Federal government.
This conclusion of the Secretary may
not be in accordance with the facts of
the case. II was understood, at the
time, that the Federal government,

REVIVALIST MOODY.

Revivalist Moody has set himself up
as final Judge IN the matter of church
music. He is so confident of his own
opinion as a teacher and interpreter
he feels that he may speak with
authority on the subject of music. He
said few days ago in the Mortified
Conference, IF God is going to give
us a revival he will break up the sing
ing that We have in the churches now.
You go into most of the churches now
and you will find them having choir
for which they pay high salary, and
they either go up so high or down SO
low that you cant understand what
they are singing about
Mr.. Moody is disposed to take pes
simistic views of many aspects of
mans moral nature. We are all of the
opinion that the church music of the
present day is seraphic in comparison
with the music of the ancient choirs,
with a fiddle accompaniment. Some
may remember the congregational
singing in churches which formerly re-
fused to allow choir singing. 1t was
a sort of ''go as you please" affair and
the singing of the hymns ended, much
like a horse race, in which the different
animals crossed the line at the close,
at their leisure and according to their
speed. There is no evidence that the
Creator does or does not prevent re-
vivalS, owing to the quality of the
music. Many of the deacons whose
election was almost guaranteed, dis
played voices in comparison with
which the vocal efforts of bull were
rapturous notes. If revivalS hung upon
their efficiency and grace as musicians,
the gates of Heaven would never on
golden hinges turn, and the deacons
would inevitably be consigned to the
'lOst"
What would MIR. Moody say if he
entered one of our Chinese churches
and listened to Old Hundred rendered
in a Monaghan symphony? Would he
bar out revivals because it did not
suit him?

ceedingly fat during the last ten years.

INJUSTICE TO THE CHINESE.

In another column is published some
interesting correspondence between
MIR. How Duck and Secretary OF the
Treasury Gage.
Mr.. How Duck was a passenger from
China on the Coptic in January last,
and held a permit from the Hawaiian
government which gave him the right
to return to Hawaii. On arrival here
he, with other Chinese, were refused
permission to land by United States
Special Agent Brown, with the APP
prevail of Special Agent Sewall as ii
was then said. He with the others who
were refused permission to land, We're
not informed of their right to appeal
to the Secretary of the Treasury, and
were forcibly sent back to China. The
Secretary of the Treasury, on hearing
appeals from the decision of Special
Agent Brown, made in similar cases
reversed his judgment and permitted
the holders of permits to land.
Mr.. How Duck returned to China
and ON being informed of this deci-
sion, again took passage to this port
and was allowed to land. He appealed
to the Secretary, asking to be REIN
bursed for the expenses incurred by
this forcible detention. He asks moth

JAIL DELIVERY
A Guest of the Dillon Jail is at
Liberty.
SHOWER OF THE QUEER
Gordon, Leader of Rannack Counter
feiters. Sawed Through
Prison Bars.

Sheriff William s. Pyle. of Beaverheat
county, who arrived in the city yesterday
to be present at the Carr inquest, receiv-
ed a telephone message from Dillon this
morning, announcing the escape from the
Dillon Jail of w. H. Gordon, the leader
and brains of the gang of counterfeiter
| whose mint was located in the noun
tains back of Bannack, and whose spur
ious product was put in circulation in
Butte.
Gordon escaped by saving through the
corridor bars. The delivery would hav
been general, but a trusty, who was in
the Jail yard saw Gordon come out of the
Jail door. and at once advised Deputy
Sheriff Moore, who arrived in time to
intercept the second prisoner who was
half way between the bars. In the three
or four minutes that had elapsed Gordon
had gotten out of the way of the officers
and at 3 o'clock today, had not been
found. Deputy United States Marshal
Mickeljohn left for Dillon on the early
morning train to assist in the search.
Gordon was undoubtedly the most clev-
er of the gang of counterfeiters, whose
product is even now abundant in this
city. He is a very skillful mechanic, and
his ability to cut coin dies has called the
secret service mems attention to him in
the past. He served a term in the Utah
penitentiary under the name of w. A.
Hubbard, and has been in the custody of
the Beaverhead county officers since Feb
ruary. He was arrested on a charge Of
counterfeltlng. but a case could not be
made out against him. In the meantime,
he made a very nearly successful at
tempt to break Jail, and was being held
for this %offense, which is punishable by a
term in the p~enitentiary.
