THE DAWSON OIL MILLS TOTALLY DE-
STROYED BY FIRE.
A Disastrous ConhAgratton Tuesday Night.
Supposed to Have Been the Work of
an Incndiary. WIN Be Re-
built

One of the most disastrous contta-
grations ever known in Dawson occurred
last Tuesday night, when the large plant
of the dawson Oil Mills Co. was totally
destroyed.
Fire was discovered about II O'Clock
in the seed room in the southeast cor
ner of the building. 1t spread rapidly,
and in very few minutes the entire
building was a seething mass of flames.
The fire department responded
promptly to the alarm, but the flames,
fed by the oil and other infamable
things, had gained such Roadway that
they could not be subdued until the
entire mills had been reduced to ashes.
The loss is estimated by the owners
to be $4,000, of which $2O,OOO
was in buildings and machinery and So
900 in oil, cotton seed and cotton seed
meal. There were 5000 gallons of odl,
go tons of seed and !, 400 tons of meal
and cake. There was no insurance on
the property and the loss is complete.
The seed and meal were not all de-
stroyed, and many of the farmers who
had exchanged seed for meal have been
hauling the meal away since the fire.
While the cause of the fire is unknown
ii is believed to have been the work of
an incindiary, as 1t originated in the
seed room, which was a considerable
distance from any of the machinery and
where there had been no fire or light of
any kind.

IRELAND REPLIES.
The American PreIRte Writes to the
Pope Regarding His Recent
EncycIlcal.

Rome, Feb 25.-The Observatore Ro-
mano publishes the text of letter from
Archbishop Ireland 10 the pope, regard
ing the pontitf's letter to Cardinal Glib
bons on "Americanism The arch
bishop thanks the pope for this proof
of his esteem and love for American
Catholics, and says that now that the
pope has shed light upon the situation,
misunderstanding will cease, for we
are now able to determine the fault
which some desire to conceal under the
name Of Americanism, and define true
Americanism, such as understood by
Americans" Continuing, the arch
bishop says among other things:
With all the energy Of my soul, repu-
date all the opinions the apostolic letter
repudiates and condemns, those false and
dangerous opinions whereto as his holt
ness in brief says certain people give the
name ofAmericanisms. Irepudiate and con-
denim them categorically, like his holiness,
with all the more promptitude and joy, in
asmuch as my Catholic faith and compre-
hension of the teachings and practices Of
the church have never permitted me to en-
terrain such extravagances. The whole
episcopate Of the United States, in their
own name and in the name of their focks,
are ready TO repudiate and condemn them.
We cannot but be indignant that such
wrong is done us. our bishops, our faith
full and our nation, as to designate by the
name of AH4ericanism such errors and ex
trayagances
Most holy father, they are enemies Of
the church IN America and false interpre-
tiers Of the faith who imagine there exists
or who desire to esta blish in the United
States church differing a single iota from
the holy universal church, recognized by
other nations as the only church Rome
itself recognizes or can recognize as the
infallible guardian of the revelation of
Jesus Christ"

Washington, Feb. 2S.-At the meet

some exceedingly interesting testi-

the canned beef rations, because it
came from enlisted men. Noncommis-
stoned officers were placed on the stand
and testified that the canned roast beef
made the men sick almost as soon as
they had eaten it. They also presented
a serious indictment against the com
missary department inasmuch as they
showed that the rations of coffee, SUI
gar, salt, pepper, vinegar, candles, and
other supplies were almost uniformly
short.
Commissioner Gen. Eagan himself
said that it was not expected the men
could eat canned roast beef without
pepper and salt, and now veteran non
commissioned officers testify that for
days together they did not have any Of
these important condiments. The gen
eral tenor of the testimony Monday, as

VOICE THEIR VIEWS.
Declare Their Policy with Ref

Washington, Feb. 28.-At caucus of
the democratic members of the house
of representatives, held in the hall of
the house Monday night, the following
declaration of policy and resolutions
as to the Philippines were adopted:
eve hold that the constitution of the
United States was ordained and established
for an intelligent, liberty-loving and self
governing people, and cannot be success
fully applied to a people of different viz
tues and conditions. We therefore hold
that a colonial policy is contrary to the
theory of our government and subversiVe
of those principles of civil liberty which We
have been taught TO cherish. We believe
with the declaration of independence that
all governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed, and we
are unalterably opposed to the establish
ment of any government of the United
States without the consent Of the people to
be governed, and in conformity with these
principles we instruct the minority MEM
bers of the foreign affairs committee to
introduce and urge the following resolu-
tom
Resolved, That the United States here
by disclaim any disposition or intention to
exercise permanent sovereignty, jurisdic
tion or control over the Philippine is
lands, and assert their determination when
an independent government shall have
been erected therein to transfer to said
government, upon terms which shall be
reasonable and just, all rights secured I'M
der the cession by Spain, and thereupon to
leave the government and control of the
islands to their people"
