ply TO an Open lteter addressed TO him
by SIxro Lopez. an agent Of AgUinaido:
Mr. Sixto LopeZ's open letter Of the

have not yet seen it except in The news

rertnes- Of the report Of the Philippine
commission. Mr.. Lopez. by his decla-
rations. confirms all ] have said Of the
promising educational possibilities in
the Philippines and Of the admirable
character Of the educated FilipinoS.
few though they are. who may be
taken az type Of the promise Of the
future. Nor does Mr. Lopez deny that
the masses Of the inhabitants of the
Philippine islands Of all tribes and
races. are uneducated and ignorant.
Furthermore. by silent acquescence
IN the report Of our committee. Mr.. Ln-
peg acknowledges that the majority of
the Filipinos either desire American
sovereignty as is the case with the
men of education and property. or ac-
qui.sce in il. or are Indifferent to it.
and that the demand for Independence
originated with the ambitious Tagalog
insurgent leaders. who have diffused it
with fire and sword. aided by atrocious
misrepresentation of the aims and
purposes of the United States.
Lastly. Mr.. Lopez does not question
the finding of our commission that the
inhabitants of the Philippine islands
are marked with great racial and tribal
differences. by immense varieties of So
cial conditions which range all the way
from the civilization of. Manila. down
through all phases of barbarism to the
naked savage Of Mindanao and north
ern LuZon. by bewiidering multiple
tty of languages which are mutually
unntelligible by dense ignorance on
the parr of the masses of the people:
by the absence of union and concert.

Golden Paper Mil. Burned.

Golden. Colo. Nov 3-Early Friday
morning fire broke out in the Golden
paper mills and the plan1 was entirely
destroyed. A large stock Of paper
ready for shipment WAS also burned
The plant was owned and operated by
Wells Il Peppard and valued at about
$4,000. with only $1,000 Insurance
1t is supposed that the fire was caused
by hot box in the new machinery
near which was Il great quantity of
waste paper and other intiammable ma
through the plant and by the time the
alarm was given the fire was beyond
control. The Golden tiremen responded
promptly and did magnificent work in
saving Senator Wells residence and the
Rock -four mills. both of which are To-
Gated In the same block The large
warehouse near by was also saved
This was the first mill erected in
Golden and has been one of her most
profitable industries. Senator Wells
has been connected with theS" mills for
over thirty years. OF late wears the
attention of the management has been
devoted TO the manufacture Of building
paper. and il was the only industry of
the kind west Of the Missouri river.

nopoly of this kind of paper The en-
