CONSISTENCY(P)

In yesterdays edition of our
more or less esteemed contempor-
ary, the Refner, appeared the fol-
lowing solemn warming:
"This paper desires to caution
its readers against believing rail
road rumors which come via
Canon City and peddled over town
by certain Canon sympathizer
In view of the interview had on
Sunday with President Smith the
report circulated last evening that
everything was fixed for Canon in
black and white" may be accepted
with big block of allowance.
The road has doubtless determin-
ed to build branch to Canon,
but that is all"
Either the writer of that article
hasn't been guided by his own words
of warning, having changed his
opinion in the premises, or else he
is as inconsistent as the following
would indicate. The following
special was sent to the Rocky
Mountain News last night by the
editor of the Refner. Let's be
charitable and think he simply
changed his opinion. This is
what he sent to the News:
Especial to the News.
Florence, Colo, June 13.-It
was announced yesterday that the
Florence and Cripple Creek rail
road bad determined to run a line
from Florence to Canon City. The
contracts Tor the construction OF
the line have been drawn. This
action has the effect of meeting
competition that may be created
by the construction of an. electric
line from Canon City to Cripple
Greek. 1t removes the terminal
to the county seat and makes
Florence junction point.
Citizens of Florence have been
protesting against the action and
they have considered offering in
ducemenis to the company to pre-
vent the change, but without
avail. Canon City gains greatly
in importance by the new order"

Denver. June l3, 1899.

Denver, June 13, 1899.
The past week has been slightly
warmer than normal in the south
central and rather cool in the west
ern and northern parts of the state.
Moderately heavy showers are re-
ported from the western slope, the
Arkansas Platte divide, and Arap-
ahoe, Fremont, Pueblo, Custer and
Las Animas counties. Light
showers have fallen in the lower
Arkansas valley, San Luis park
and the north-central counties,
while dry weather has prevailed in
the northeastern part of the state.
Owing to cool weather in the
mountain districts at the begin
ming of the week there was
marked decline in the river dis
charges, but high temperatures
near its close caused an improve
ment; especially in the Arkansas,
which is now much higher in the
upper divisions than heretofore
this season.
Good rains, followed by season.
able temperatures, have materially
improved the conditions and out
look on the western slope, but, ow-
ing to cool weather during May,
crops are still backward. Ranges
are excellent and stock is improv-
ing rapidly. Fruit prospects con-
tinue good, though there is some
complaint of ''dropping"-due to
cold nights. East of the mount
aims, rains that have fallen were
generally beneficial, but, owing to
the protracted drought and conse-
quent condition of the soil, the re-
lief will be temporary, and copious
and general precipitation is needed
to insure termination of late seed
ings and paintings and to improve
the ranges, which are generally re-
ported as poorest in years" AL
falfa is being harvested in the Ar
kansas valley, but the yield is
much below the average, and the
outlook in other sections, where
the crop is just in bloom, is very
unfavorable. Grain is generally
poor stand and much of it is
heading low. In San Luis park
the rains were light and of no ma
terial benefit. Pastures and ranges
are practically bare, and the con-
ditions that prevailed during the
past month have permanently dam
aged large acreage of field crops.

WHEELER WILL
 GO ID PHILIPPINES
Secretary AIger Gives Indirect Confirmation of the
 Report.

Chicago, June H.-A special to the TmesHeraId from Petoski, Mich, says: Secretary of War Alger gave indirect con- irmation today to the report that Gen. eral Joseph Wheeler is to be assigned to duty in the Philippines. When questioned about it as he and General Wheeler were about to leave for the Grand Army camp fire he promptly replied:
 There Is nothing to say-at least, not until issue the orders."
 The accent, hoover, was unmistakab bly on the words "the order" No one who is familiar with the twinkle of General AL gers eye will doubt that he had reference to a very real and very immediate order In fact, he did not try to deny that some very important move Is even in progress of arrangement.
 q am still in the service" said General Wheeler, when questioned, land am sub ject to orders. l am not now under orders How soon I will be is for Secretary Alger to decide"
 He talked and looked, though, like a man who is not only ready, but even ex- pecting an important assignment.

BOURGEOIS DECLINES
He Will Not Accept Task of Forming
 New Ministry

Paris, June N.-M. Bourgeois arrived here thls morning from The Hague, and called at the Elysee palace at S:45 a. m. with M. Delcasse. After conferring with President Loubert, M. Bourgeois will visit M Brissen and other political Friends.
 It was announced late in the day that M. Bourgeois had declined the task of forming a cabinet.
 M. Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs in the Dupuy cabinet, will now probably be asked to form ministry.
 After an interview with President Loubet at o'clock this evening M. Bourgeois con- sented to remain in Paris and assist in the negotiations until new ministry is formed. He Is strongly urging M. Waldeck- to resume the task and is actively enlisting support for him.

INSURGENT ARMY HAS
 TAKEN TO SWAMPS
Heavy Rains Make Campaigning Very Un- comfortable-RebeisW Watching Poll
 tics in This Country

Madrid, June 21-The insurgent army has taken to the swamps and hills beyond linus. The largest force is supposed to be in the fight for San Francisco de Malabon heading position more toward the lake or toward the coast according as exigencies demand. General Wheaton returned to linus today bringing three men who were wounded in yesterdays fighting
 The heavy rains that fall nightly make campaigning uncomfortable. The roads are still good, but the rice fields adjoining them are pools of water. The Filipinos will not fight unless they can meet our troops in po- sitions most advantageous to themselves or take our reconnoitering bodies in am- bush.
 It is impossible to learn what effect the recent defeat has had upon their leaders. This should be disheartening, for they had boasted that the Americans could never conquer the province of Cavite, Aguinaldo's home country, where he always worsted the Spanards.
 General Otis recently received a letter signed by native women of the province de- claring that if the men were killed the women would still keep up the fight against the Americans.
 Watching Political Movements
 Copies of the Insurgent organ, Indepen-
 
 success kept afiame by political move- ments in America. The Independencia prints reports of alleged speeches made at alleged meetings in the United States de- nouncing the war, and 1t asserts that these represent the dominant American ssg N- ment.
 It declares also that the Filpinos will continue the war until the next presiden- tial campaign, which is sure to result in a decision to withdraw the American troops from the Philippines"
 It Is reported that the Spanish garrison at Balor, in the province of Principe, on the east coast of Luzon, which had become re- duced to thirty-four men, finally surren- dered to the Flipinos, holding out for O year.
 The Filipinos imprisoned two Englishmen at Tachobon, on the island of Samar, southeast of Luzon The British first-class cruiser Grafter steamed to that point from Cebu and her commander demanded their release. When this refused he landed a force of marines and cleared his ship for action, whereupon the Englishmen were handed over.

ARE FLEEING 2 o MOUNTAINS

San Francisco, June 21.-Dr. Charles A. McQuestian, who was on the staff of Gen. E. s. Otis, and who was health officer of Manila, has returned home, invalided by the climate.
 Captain McQuestian made a close study of the conditions of the Philippine situa4 ton.
 He is of the opinion that it will take
 from 100000 to 150,O0O soldiers to properly
 subdue and hold the islands.
 He also says that the peace commission was an absolute failure and that its work from the start was without effect. He strongly supports the military government of the islands except that he thinks more men will be necessary than has been esti- mated. pr. Schurmann knows that the commission is a failure and is coming home in July
 Captain McQuestain said:
 "Unless troops, thousands of them. are sent to the aid of our men they will be driven back into Manila in the course of the next few months during the rainy sea- son. Our men simply cannot stand the cli- mate. Fifty per cent. of them will be inca- pacitated by sickness and the territory overrun will have to be abandoned Manila will be in a state of siege again.
 "Our officers and soldiers have accom-
 pllshed wonders and have proven them
 selves the best soldiers in the world.
 But nothing decisive has come of it be-
 cause our men were not in great enough
 force.
 "One of the great dangers that our men have to face is the climate. The new corners will be at a disadvantage because the volunteers who are returning home are inured to the climate. This will make more men necessary than we would otherwise have to put in the field. As matter of belief the Filipinos think they have the Americans licked already"

STRIKE OF COAL MINERS
In States West of the Mississippi Has
 Been Settled.

Indianapolis, Ind, June 21-President Mitchell of the United Mine Workers Union of America received information to- night in the shape of a telegram from John P. Reese and James B.

 As result 29OOO of the 9O,OOO strikers in Missouri, Kansas, Indian Territory and Arkansas, will return to work at once.

First Universalist Church
Has Eye on Rev. Tho
mas W. Illman.

IAere is a strong probability that the
First Universalist church has selected
a worthy su SCISSOR to Rev. DR.. AImon
Gunnison Yesterday morning, Rev.
Thomas w. Illman of Philadelphia oc-
cupied the pulpit. His sermon was elo-
auent and attracted the closest atten-
ton of the large audience
When The Spy man saw him in the
afternoon, Mr.. Illman admitted that he
was without parish, and had come to
worcester to preach at the urgent in
Vltauon of several members of the
church
For some time 1 have been resting"
ne said Il was worn out by nearly 20
years Of service in the pulpit, and now
feel fresh and ready to again enter the
work to which l am called. I have no
PARISH at present, and so am not bound
down by any ties
When asked if he were a candidate
for the pastorship of the First Univer-
SaHst church, he would make no bind
ing statement but admitted that he
liked the city of Worcester liked the
people OF the church, and would enjoy
laboring in Christian work here, if he
received a call to be minister of the
PIliS where LII. GuQnlSOn mas zone
such noble work
Mr.. Illman graduated from the divin-
lty school of Tufts College in 1875. Since
then he has occupied fields in large
cities almost continuously. He has been
pastor in Attleboro, Concord, N. H.,
Grand Rapids, Mich, and New York
city For some time he has been living
in Philadelphia, recovering from ner-
vous and physical breakdown. Today
he is vigorous in mind and body, and
anxious to again take UP his chosen
work.
He is a man of strong personality,
small in stature. with hair and mus
tache just tinged with gray. He is a
writer as well as preacher, and has con-
tributed to the religious press for many
years. AT present Mr.. Illman has in pre-
paration a book on religious subjects
that will be in press shortly.
The Spy man talked with several pro-
minent members of the First Universal
list church, and while they would not
commit themselves definitely, all were
most favorably impressed with Mr.. Ill
man. Other candidates may be heard,
but the impression that Mr.. Illman
created yesterday will not be easily eff
faced.
