DON'T BE FLAG FOOLED.

The members of the loyalty trust,
composed Of editors Office holders and
their relatives and dependents, who are
now the custodians of the patriotism,
the liberty and humanity Of their coun-
try, have once again become solicitious
for the flag. A celebrated statesman
has assured us that Patriotism is the
last resort of scoundrels."
The loyalty trust has taken to plac-
ing the flag conspicuously at the head
Of their newspaper. columns; keeping it
in sight. SO to speak, SO that no one can
stealth or stone it. But is not this the
samesq lag that the A. p. A. protected
durinn period Of five years against
the vulgar wiles Of the lady in red,
when he dreadful "Romanist" threat
ened to destroy the flag and all the
glorious institutions that the much
Alluded emblem symbolizes? Now the
A. p. A. is gone, but the flag remains;
slightly stained and tarnished to be
sure, still reasonably secure in the
hearts, the hopes and consciences of the
American people. "A. P. Aism lived,
and smelled and shouted and smelled,
and now all that remains of it is the
evil odor. So also, does Imperialism
shout and smell, and so also will i'm
perialism perish; but

Representative Belts opposed this.
claiming that il was a scheme of the
majority to elect their candidate and
crowd him down the thrOats of the nil
nOrity.
Did you ever go into any meeting
Mr.. Belts" asked Heber Bennion,
where majority. or at least a two
thirds majority, did not rule on any
question:
Mr. Belts confessed that he had not.
but he said ne did not propose to abide
by the rule in this case, and he picked
up his hat and coat and started to
leave the caucus, being diSSuaded ONLY
by the pleadings of his friends. After
that he took no further part in the
proceedings.
Senator Quill Nebeker took the op-
portunity to quietly leave the caucus
without word to anyone. He stated
TO the reporters outside that he was
not feeling well. and as he thought the
caucus would not arrive at any con-
clusion. he had decided to leave it.
Senator Tanner thought that with a
secret ballot and two-thirds rule there
should be no objection on the part %
the minority. 1t has been stated -
he said. that there are many men in
the legislature now who would vote for
Judge King if they could do so in a
secret ballot. Why. then. should you
gentlemen who favor Judge Kings
candidacy fear the twO-thirds rule If
it is as you claim, there should be no
hesitancy on your part in this matter
l favor the two-thirds rule"
CUMMINGS WAS POINTED.
Representative Cummings likewise
supported the twO-thirds rule. He said
it was fair to everyone in the party,
and the rule making thirty-twO votes
necessary to a choice ought not to OBJ
tain. He stated that the minority
members should have understood that
before they came into the caucus. II
they bad decided to be bound by the
convention only in case thirty-two men
agreed on q single candidate. they
might as well have stayed out of the
caucus, for they knew that it had been
shown over and over again that there
were not thirty-twO Democrats in the
legislature who were 50 agreed Had
there been. there would have been an
election long ago.
Representative O'Neil said that he
had come to the legislature without
pledging himself to any candidate. He
had voted for Judge King until he be-
lieved he could not be elected. and he
then went 10 the most available and
strongest candidate. He thought that

rule He said that \. w. NcCune had
released every man and woman who
had voted Tor him from any pledges
they had been made TO him They had
come down TO the caucus perfectly free
to vote for whOmsOever they desired
Lapish, nOn-signer of the call re
piled that Judge Powers had also re-
leased his two voters from voting for
him.
Representative Belts, whose name
was not among the thirty-three signers
Of the call, added that while he was not
authorized by Judge King To make the
announcement he thought that he too.
would be willing to release all those
who had voted for him.
LLOYD TALKED OUT.
Representative Lloyd said that in his
opinion the minority members were
taking an unreasonable and unfair
stand. It was entirely opposed to all
Democratic tenets, he said. to have the
desires of a small minority rule the
larger number of members.
Representative Shepard said that il
was an established rule in all conven-
tons that the Will of the majority
should rule. The position Of the mi
nCrity members was I'M Democratic in
the extreme.
The debate was waxing somewhat
warm a t this time. but Senator Evans

I they made a determined stand in the
upper stories.
/ A platoon of Californians stationed
/ on a nelghbOring bridge maintained q
( hot fire on the Filipinos, but was I'M
/ able to dislodge them. In the face of
a terrific fusilade, Colonel Duboce and
/ few volunteers dashed into the
| church, scattered coal oil inside of it,
set fire TO the oil and retired.
/ In the meantime Captain Dyer's bat
terry of the Sixth artillery bombarded
/ the church, dropping a dozen shells
into the tower and roof. Company l.
and part of company G. of the Cali
fornians charged into the church, but
were unable to ascend the single flight
of steps leading to the story above.
After they had retired, a company of
the Idahos and the Washington guards,
stationed on either side of the build
ing, picked off the Filipinos as they
were smoked out. Many Of the rebels,
however, escaped into the brush in the
rear of the church. The Americans
captured fifty-three of the rebels, and
during the fighting about the church
twenty of the rebels were killed.
Some $500 women, children and nom
combatantS were allowed to enter the
American lines, after promising to go
to the houses Of friends and remain
there.
EXCITING INCIDENT.
Another intensely exciting incident
occurred during the engagement The
WaShingtons and IdahOs and COM
panies K and NJ of the Californians
made charges across the rice fields be-
tween Pace and Santa ana in the face
of a terrible fusilade. The ground
today over which they passed is COW

Both sides cheered frequently during
the enlightenment. The American 'Hur-

the Ygorotes were notable for their
bravery, about 700 of these naked saw
ages facing artillery fire with their
bows and arrows.
The scene at Manila when the alarm
was given on Saturday night was Wild
" exciting. The American soldiers in
the theatres and at the circus were
called out and the performances were
stopped. FilipinOs scurried every
where, and the rattle of musketry and
the booming of cannon outside the city
was plainly heard. The residents of
the outskirts OF Manila fiocked into
the walled city with their arms full of
articles. All the carriages disappeared
as if by magic. the street cars were
stopped, the telegraph lines were cut,
and the soldiers hurriedly but silently
marched out of the city into the sta
tons assigned to them. The stores
were closed almost instantly, foreign
flags We're to be seen flying from many
windows, and a number of white rags
were hung out from Filipino huts and
houses.

had come long in advance to prepare
themselves to report the proceedings.
the members adjourned to the hall Of
representatives.
Representative McQuarrie was quick
" installed in the chair by a unanimous
vote, Senator Aquila Nebeker and Rep
resentative Lloyd. the other members
named for the position having declined
the honor. Representative Stewart was
chosen secretary.
After the call for the caucus had been
read by the chair. Representative
Mansfield presented the following reso-
buttons:
RULES OFFERED.
Resolved, That each and all of the
members of this caucus be bound by the
actions and conclusions of the caucus
Resolved, Further. That two-thirds Of
all the members present and voting
shall be necessary to make any question

Resolved, That the proceedings for
the selection of the caucus nominee for

by the presiding officer to collect and
count the ballots.
Resolved, That nominating speeches

shall not exceed ten minutes in dura-
ton, and that no member shall speak
more than once.
Resolved, That only members of the
legislature who were regularly nomt-
mated by a Democratic convention shall
be entitled to a seat in this caucus.
The introduction of the resolutions
brought Senator w. C. Nebeker, who
did not sign the caucus call. TO his feet
He vigorously opposed
the resolutions. and in the course OF his
talk ne said that he mad Joined the
Democratic party because he believed
that in it was the best hope for bimetai-
ism. He went on to say that DsmOc-
racy had really accomplished nothing
along this line, and he believed that

to the party. He was unalteTably Op-
posed to the plan of allowing a two
