 surveyed a through line from Silver | City to Geronimo coming via Gutherie and the: Detroit Copper c0mpany's
 pump. Up to this time the Bulletin
 has never heard of a surveying party being east of the Detroit Copper Con-
 pany's pump and we are led to be-
 lieve that from that point id is the in tention to follow the old survey made Ey Beard in 1S97 It was never known
 for certain who MT. Beard represented and after he completed the survey he
 has never been seen or heard from since. The fact that the Detr,it Copper Company has only surveyed the line
 as far as the pump on the Gila river, leads us to believe that the maps and plats of the Beard survey have fallen into their hands. We hope it is the ease and that the railroad will be
 pushed to completion as soon a possi-
 ble. Naturally SolomoHvilIe and the
 entire Gila valley feels a deep interest
 in tho project. A road built either to SOlom0nNlle or Gutherie will be
 the commencemend of 2 through lire
 from Delnins to Phoenix, and possi-
 ply San Diego. With such a road
 the Santa Fe would haul almost all
 the freight for Arizona With their
 A. & P. road supplying the northern
 portion of the territory and a inc
 from Silver City to Phoenix which
 would tap Clifton, Morenci, the entire
 Gila valley, Globe, Florence and Phoe-
 nix, there would not be much railro2d
 business left. But the question which
 presents itself to the D. c. Co at
 present is whether to build to Solo,
 knoxville or Gutherie, which would be the least expensive, and what would
 be the advantages of one place over
 the other. With a broad guage road to SOlOmOnville the D. c. Go. cCI1 lag their supplies down at their very door withoul5 a single transfer, while if the road is built to Gutherie. all of their coke and material must be transferred at Lordsburg to the nar- row gauge owned by the A. c. Co If the road to Gutherie is made a broad gauge another transfer would be necessary at that point By building to Gutherie the rC5d would not be in a po,-tion to do any local freight bus mess. On the other hand a road con- meeting the Gila valley and Morenci would receive enough freight and pas senger business to pay a large per cent Of the operating expenses. The diff ference in the cost Of building to Gutherie or SoIcmonW:lle is very small and for a more perfect service 1 and from business standpoint, the | route to Solomonville is the moss i to cur minds. Coke, mer- | chandise. etc, can Fbe shipped from the east just as cheap to Bowie as to { Lordsburg. The people of Solomon | vile and vic lity would undoubtedly i render their assistance in securing a | right of way. if necessary.

surrection, and there are insurgents
 under arms in the Philippines today
 for four reasons. First-The insur-
 gent army was reorganized and eQuip-
 ped by Aguinaldo primarily to assist
 the Americans in their operations
 against the Spaniards. They had q
 notion. naturally and rightly enough.
 that when the Spaniards were driven
 out they would be left to set up gov
 ernment of their own That was one notion of what would happen when the revolution should have ended.
 "Second-When they found they had indulged a wrong no- tfon. Spanish civil officials who were to lose their jobs and other Spaniards were especially active in inspiring the natives with fear and hatred for the Americans These Spaniards told the Filipinos the most horrible stories of lynchings in the south, and assured them that what the Americans did with their own citizens they would do with the Filipinos. They pictured us as the most barbarous of nations, and the natives concluded that if they were to live at all they must fight for their lives against such terrible in- vaders.
 ''Third-The delay in signing the peace treaty gave the Filipinos new courage. Every speech in congress against the treaty and tn sympathy with thd natives was reported at Aguinaldo's headquarters twenty-four hours after it was delivered. Agents of Aguinaldo in this country, who are still serving him, by the way, sent reports of the speeches to the Filipino junta at Hong Kong, which forwarded them by boat to AguinaIdo By him they were spread through the insur- gent army and all the natives got the notion that. if they only kept on fighting, they would gain their liberty through their friends in the American congress.
 'The fourth reason is the work of some of our citizens outside congress. The literature of the anti-imDeralists was sent to the Philippines, according to the general understanding there, for the purpose of arousing a feel irg of discontent among the voIun- teers. If that was the in tention then the pamphlets might better have been kept in this country. I happened to be with volunteer regiment the morn ing the first consignment of pamphlets | was delivered. Those volunteers who | were not enraged that American cfti- zens should be guilty of such work | laughed at the text and made all kinds | of fun of the writers and dissemina- | tors.
 But some of the pamphlets found | their way to Aguinaldo's headquarters and that gentleman saw their value to him in an instant He had them trans lated and distributed Throughout his army and among the natives general ly. Nothing could have given them more aid and comfort. The rank and file of the army was called upon to witness the feeling of their friends in

tone, which was produced by means

he was not listening to a fine chorus.
An experiment of this effect was
tried in the house OF distinguished
ditettante OF Vienna. The instru-

an apartment separate from the
company. The illusion was COM

were listening to chorus of excel
