have advanced will throw a big area of the
recently discovered mines of the Porcupine

JUST DISCOVER WHAT HE MEANS.
Interpretation Put on Pope's Letter
on ericanism.

ROME, March 1.-The impression pre-
walls here now that the dust has settled
and things can be clearly seen, that the
pope's letter to Cardinal Gibbons approves
real Americanism," and condemns those
who had misrepresented it, The pope col
lected, examined and definitely repudated
all such misrepresentation. Evidently he
believes that the things so alleged never
existed in America, for the American
bishops would have denounced them, and
his holiness thus yindcates true "Ameri-
canism."
Archbishop Ireland's letter appears to
have emphasized the pope's views and il Is
generally understood that Cardinal Ram
polla, papal secretary of state, has assured
him that the pope never condemned and
never intended to condemn real American
ISM" declaring also that Archbishop Ire
land had rightly interpreted the views of
the pope and urged him to make this fact
known.

Drives Over a Fifty Foot Bank and
is Hardly Scratched.

John Ryeburg teamster on one of 7. j..
OBrien's coal wagons, drove team of
horses hauling a ton of coal off from bank
fifty feet high last night and escaped with
only a slight injury on the knee.
The accident occurred near Tenth and
Pine streets, where Pine street Is ended by
a high bluff At the foot of the incline
Ryeburg, a companion named August
Mundst, horses, wagon and coal were piled
in heap but when they were untangled
the principal damage was found to have
been done to the wagon, which was nearly
demolished. Mundst picked himself up and
walked away; the horses were driven off by
Ryeburgs son and Ryeburg himself was
carried TO a neighboring house to wait the
arrival of a physician.
Ryeburg was sent by his employer shortly
after dark to deliver ton Of coal at an ad-
dress on Hickory street Mistaking Pine
street for that thoroughfare, he did not dis
cover the error until he came to the bank.
Then he attempted to turn and drive TO
Hickory street along an edge of earth be-
tween a fence and the bluff. In the dark
ness he failed to keep close enough to the
fence and was tumbled fifty feet into a
brickyard.
Mrs James L. Hamblin, who resides at
the end OF Pine street, heard Ryeburg 5
wagon rattling past and a few seconds later
she heard the crash as it fell. Mrs. Hamblin
summoned help and several men ran to
Ryeburg's assistance. The wagon, having
fallen across one of his legs, had to be
raised before the driver could be released.
Mundst had taken his departure before help
came for his companion, but he is known
to have taken the tumble because his nat
was found near Ryeburg's cap and motor
conductor saw both men on the wagon seat
when it turned from Tenth street into Pine.
Ryeburg was carried to the house of +. NJ.
Whitney, a few yards distant, and was aft
erward removed to the station. City Phys-
clan Ralph said his injury was slight one.

Because the fire burned slowly Mrs.

suming like cotton the straw mattress on

The half-frantic mother tried to carry all
their little ones out of the blazing room, but
she dropped Rossie from her arms near the
door. The other two having been gotten
safely outside Mrs. Camera ran screaming
downstairs to the street where she fell.

To the suggestions Of the anti-imperial-

beginning of colonization, he said:
There are no more islands of the sea to
be acquired. They are all taken up. The
territory of savage races is practically all
pre- -empted by the civilized. The ultimate
work of the United States will be to govern
South America. You will probably begin
with Mexico, acquire the Central American
states, then those on the continent of South
America, until you hold all the country to
the south of you. These states have incom-
petent governments-practically barbarian
governments-and it will be your duty to
give them the white mans governments
Mexico is well governed, but a nation can

He declared that the United States could
never withdraw from the Philippines, be-
cause it was its duty to give these people a

lieve that when they had begun to realize
the results of their work there. Americans
would desire to abandon the policy. They
might grumble for time over the expense
but that would be mere flea bite" to a
nation so rich. Why not abandon some of
the expenses of the pension list, which
seemed so unreasonably large, if economy
was necessary? Even if large navy must
be built, the United States could well afford
one. So far as the fear of provoking foreign
entanglements and war went, as long as En-
gland and the United States stood together
and maintained their present understanding,
which was practically an alliance, no COM
bination of powers dare menace them. To

Mr. Rhodes, in conversation with a repre-

in the evacuation Of Cuba until it controlled

Canada.

that it would be carried on in the Philip
pines
The United States he considered one OF
the nations best equipped for colonization
and repeatedly exclaimed:

that they seemed to be animated by selfish
ness.
