MASON FULL OF FIGHT.
Will Wage War On Philippine Policy

washington. Sept. t2o.-In an inter
view with Post reporter today Sena-
tor Mason of Illinois said;
ION the floor of the senate / shall
continue my opposition to the war upon
the Fnipinos. would sooner resign
my. seat than treat a dog the way we
are treating those people. L am
ashamed, of my country.
People make great mistake, he
continued, when they say that am
against expansion. am not. But eX-
pansion by purchase or other honor
able means is one thing; expansion by
force is another. do not believe
there was any necessity for this war
upon the Filipinos l believe that if
we had adopted resolution in con-
gress assuring those people as we as
sured the Cubans, that we had no sell
fish designs upon them, we never would
have met with any opposition in the
Philippines. The fact is that we have
given the Filipinos every reason to dis
trust us, and they are fighting for their
own liberty.
Talk about hauling down our flag, =
continued Senator Mason. will our flag
come down in Cuba? Certainly it will if
we are, true to our promises. And the
day that it comes down will be the
brightest day in our history, because
it will show that we are a great, unset
fish nation, devoted to the eternal prin-
ciples of right and honesty. If the Gu
bans want TO be annexed later, that is
another question Why cannot we deal
with the Filipinos in the same way?''

Intending purchasers Of the Indus
trial Christian home are anxiously
waiting for advices from the treasury
department indicating whether the
property will be again put up for sale
or whether all the bids recently re-
ceived will be rejected. A special dis
patch to The Herald from Washington
on Tuesday stated the probability that
the highest bid of Charles b. Titcomb,
for So, 500, and also the next lowest, OF
Drs. Wright, Bower and Anderson, for
$50, 100, would be rejected because they
were deemed 70 be from $500 to 81 500
below the present market value of the
property. Since then no further infor-
nation has been received from Wash
ington.
Acting upon the intimation that the
property would be offered at private
sale, several persons have written to
the treasury department soliciting in
formation as to when, where and how
proposals would be received or the pri-
vate sale basis. Among these, - is
stated, is the syndicate,Of Drs. Wright,
Bower and Anderson, who are believed
TO be still very anxious to acquire the
home for conversion into a private hos
pital. Neither DR.. Wright nor DR.. An
derson had any information to give out
for publication last evening, and it is
presumed they are on still hunt for
the property.
DIR. Titcomb, the dentist, however.
considers that his bid. the highest sent
in, has been accepted, since he has re-
ceived no official intimation that his
proposal had been or would be reject
ed. 1T is true" said Mr.. Titcomb last
evening. that L failed to send a certi-
fed check of 3 per cent as required, but
my bid stated that L was prepared to
pay the money if my terms were ac-
cepted. 1 cannot conceive that the
government will be so unfair as to turn
my bid down. Il would be a shabby
trick. Whether l shall make an effort
to get the property if it is offered at
private sale, 1 am not prepared to say,
DR.. Titcomb added that he is alone in
the negotiations for the Industrial
home. He has both a speculation and
an investment in mind, but his inten-
tons are to expend at least $4,000 if
he gets the property in making it a
swell family hotel. He believes that
there is more need fer another hotel
in Salt Lake than there is for a new
hospital.

GREAT PARADE OF ODD FELLOWS
MAKE A FINE DISPLAY ON THE
m STREETS OF DETROIT.
Estimated That 4,5oo Members of
Order and Sisters of Rebekah De-
gree Were In Line.

Detroit, Sept. 20.-For more than an
hour this afternoon $500 Odd Fellows
and their sisters of the Rebekah or
der were passing in review before
Grand Sire Pinllerton, Deputy Grand
Sire Cable and Major General j. P. Ell
lac0tt, chief of the grand sire's staff.
1t was the finest and largest process
sion seen in Detroit since the great Ct.
A. r. parade in 1890. Fully a score of
bands furnished music. Street car and
other traffic was suspended along. the
line of March, and the police kept the
crowd of spectators we'll back on the
sidewalks.
Brigadier General Martin, comman-
der of the Michigan department of the
Patriarchs Militant, led 1000 members
of the military branch of Odd Fellow
ship, all in full uniform, carrying drawn
swords Their perfect marching, ex-
cellent evolutions and fine appearance
drew constant applause from the
crowds that packed the Woodward
avenue sidewalks from ourbs to build
ing fronts. Ohio sent six cantons of
patriarchs, Indiana three, New York
three, Pennsylvania three, Massachu-
sets three, Michigan three and st.
Thomas, Ont, one.
Subordinate encampments followed
the gaily attired and military looking
patriarchs, the division being headed
by a large float representing 1.-The
Plains of Mamre"
The representa- ves to the sovereign
grand lodge occupied respective car
riages, designated by shields hung
thereon bearing the names of the
states the occupants represented.
All, the states and the Canadian prov
inces were in the line.
When Grand Sire Pinkerton and as
sistants had finished the review they
entered carriages and escorted by the
Junior HuzzarS of Columbus, o.,
brought up in the rear of the grand
procession. The gorgeous uniforms and
.dashing evolutions of the huzzars were
the final feature of the spectacle.
1t is estimated that 10, GOO persons con-
nected with the various divisions of
Odd Fellows are now in the city.

KNEW DURRAHT WAS GUILTY
PREACHER MAKES DISCLOSURE
AT A LATE DAY.
Saw Murderer Come Out of Church In
San Francisco Where He Had Com
mitted Crime.

Chicago, Sept. pa special to the
Tribune from Indianapolis says: The
Rev. James Cummings Smith, president
of the Presbyterian tabernacle of this
city, for the first time makes an admis-
sion which leaves practically no doubt
as to the guilt of Theodore Durrant,
whose murder of two young women
shocked the Pacific coast few yeas
ago.
The Rev. Mr.. Smith was one of the
leading preachers of San Francisco at
the time the medical student commit
ted the crime in the church. He says
Durrant had been a member of his con-
gregation in whose buildings the MUIR
ders occurred. Mr.. Smith fas interest
ed in the student and enjoyed his con-
fidence. When Durrant was arrested
for his crimes he Immediately sent for
Mr.. Smith, and this gentleman not only
cOnsoled him then, but continued his
visits till Durrant paid the death pen
atty.
Il CHANGED to be passing the church
in which the murders were committed
at the hour which the police afterwards
fixed upon as the time when one of
those poor girls was killed. said Mr..
Smith, in speaking of the affair today
Il saw Durrant hastily slip out of a
side door of the church, and as he
passed me and recognized me a look 1
can scarcely describe was on his face.
1t was fearful. L never mentioned this
scene, for 1 thought the police had
sufficiently strong case against the
young men, and this is the first time
have ever told any one of it,"
Mr.. Smith says he called on Durrant
within an hour after he was con-
demned, expecting to find the student
Frustrated. Instead, Durrant coolly
went over the argument of the prose-
cutting attorney and pointed out to the
minister where the attorneys argument
was strong and where it was weak.

DRAGON IRON SHAFT.
Now Down Nearly 400 Feet-Going
to 600 Before Exploring.
(Special Correspondence.)


Especial Correspondence
Mammoth, Sept. 2O.-Wonderful head
way is being made at the Dragon Iron
mine. The big shaft is down to the 1916
point, and before. the week is out the
workmen will be cutting the station for
the 400 level. Thomas Weir expressed
his perfect satisfaction with the con-
ditions in general at the premises, and
the qualification that no serious acct
dent of any kind had occurred to the
men or caused any delay. Answering
question as to whether a cross-cut
would be driven from the 400, Mr.. Weir
replied that he was quite positive that
unless some very material change oc-
Cured in the ground the original pro-
gramme of going to the 600 point be-
fore exploring will be maintained. Sta
lions have been put in at each level
commencing at the geo, so that when
cutting is begun there viii be no
inconvenience or necessity of delays,
incident to blocking up the shaftway
with workmen and timbers. The ship
ments of iron ore from the mine or
quarry continue unusually large and, in
a measure. contribute towards defray-
ing quite portion of the expenses of
sinking the accompaniment shaft
Touching on affairs at the Ajax, Mr.
Weir said that he had good cause to
feel much encouraged with the condi-
tons prevailing in the mine, because
the ore bodies, while not being so very
extensive, gave every indication of in
creasing in dimensions As for the
general grade and character of the ore
they had been cutting and lifting of
late, he could scarcely ask or expect
anything better. On the whole he was
extremely pleased with the Ajax, and
encouraged in the belief that even bet
ter possibilities were in store for them.
A shipment of fifty tons was billed TO
Salt Lake this morning.

LEAsERs MAKE MONEY.
Woodmansee People Cleaning UI
$4,000 a Month
(Special CORRESPONDENCE.


Especial Correspondence
Robinson, Sept z0.-With less than a
month to run before the life of their
lease expires, the Woodmansee folks
are taking advantage e favorable
conditions and pushing work in their
part of the Sunbeam for all there is in
it. When leasers can clean up $4,000
a month it must occur to the average
reader that they have what is common
~ called a snap" let that is what
the Woodmansee leasers accomplished
with their Sunbeam lease during the
months of July and August and the
way they are putting out ore now it
looks as if they would surpass the &c.,
600 mark in September. Ali of which
goes to show that the Sunbeam Con-
solidated entire must amount to some
thing, il a very limited area gives such
profitable results. The writer met Mr..
Buckbee last evening, in company with
r. B. Freeman of Tyrone. Pa, just re-
turning from the mine, and subsequent
ly had a pleasant chat with him rela-
tive to things at the Sunbeam. There
isn't anything actually new or fresh at
the mine, other than the preparations
being made to receive the ground from
the leasers, the handling OF the product,
arranging for larger ore storage. and
better facilities for sorting. Speaking
of affairs pertaining to the mine, Mr..
Buckbee said. Aside from the favor
able way the ground in the mine looks,
the most gratifying feature to me is
the confidence shown in our efforts. 1t
looks as if the people believe we are
not sqUandering their money and are
simply making good our promise to pay
for something we acquired and agreed
to pay for. So far as the mine is con-
cerned, it keeps looking better all the
time; the mineral we are extracting in
drifting more than pays all expenses,
though we are not stopping anywhere.
When the Wooomansee ground passes
into our hands next month ii will make
a material change in our affairs. be-
cause, with ample equipment and no re-
strictions. we can greatly exceed what
they have DONE
Later in speaking of the outlook for
the Undine, Mr.. Buckbee expressed
himself as being confident that the
mine would prove very prosperous
property. He said they had some min
eral now, very good mineral, and would
have more. but before exploiting is done
they will have to do some cleaning up
of old drifts. 1t is not exceeding the
facts in the case particle to say that
no richer ore has been found in the dis
trict than that which has come from
the Undine.
