A PORTER'S HEROIC DEEDS.
Saves Many People From Perishing
in a Hotel Fire-Three Lives Lost.

Chicago, May 16.-Three persons
were killed, and fifteen were injured
in fire which, early today, destroyed
the Hotel Helene at Nos. 116 to ia
F'ifty-third street Five of the injured
will probably die.
The dead are: Charlotte Peterson,
dining room girl, found in her room
burned to a crisp. Lena Pearson,
found burned almost beyond recogni-
ton in room with Miss Peterson. S.
G. M'Haddin, flesh party burned, died
this evening.
The loss to the building and furnish
ingS was $40, 900.
The destruction of the hotel was re-
plete with daring rescues and narrow
himself the title of hero. He was a
porter in the hotel and the first to
warn the sleeping occupants Of their
danger. He carried Helen Joseph
down a Swaying ladder, from the third
floor and then, amid cheers of the on
lockers, returned to the second floor
where a woman was lying unconscious,
her clothing on fire. He carried her
to the window and dropped her into
the arms of Policeman Wolff. Then
he staggered back into the smoke and
was caught by the feet by a police
man, who mounted on the shoulders
of brother officer and resumed him.
The reScueS were nearly all accom-
pliShed by policemen before the fire
men arrived.
The fire started in the basement and
spread with the greatest rapidity. But
for the heroic action of Porter Mcneil
every person in the building would un-
doubtedly have perished.

A JESUIT MANIFESTO.
Distributed Among the FIlipinos, Con-
demning Religious Tolerance. Liber-
ty of Thought and all Ideas. Antag-
onistic TO Absolute Church Rule.

Correspondence OF Associated Press }
Manila, April 15.-The most sensa-
tional of the events of the past week
has been the general distribution by
the Jesuits of a pamphlet in which is
set forth Truths Which Christians
Must Observe"
Among the things most strongly
condemnel in this pamphlet are relig-
ious toleran nee and recognition OF civil
the Jesuits is considered by many 10
be an attack upon the American ad-
ministration. The pamphlet In Ques-
ton says:
Il. The commands of the church
must be obeyed in the same manner as
the law of God.
80 You must subject your own
Judgment to that Of the church and
think exactly as the church thinks,
for the church cannot be overcome.
"3. You must reject and condemn
the Masonic sect, so frequently rejec-
ted and condemned by the supreme
pontiffs.
"A. You must also reject and con-
denim liberty of worship, liberty of the
press, liberty of thought and the other
liberties Of perdition condemned and
rejected by the church.
"5. You must also reject and con-
denim liberalism and also modern prog
reSS and civilization, as being false
progress and false civilization.
"6. You must utterly abominate
civil marriage and regard it as pure
concubinage.
~. You must also condemn and re-
ject the interference of the civil au-
thorities in any ecclesiastical affairs,
so much in vogue nowadays.
IS. Finally you must hold the belief
that the church, by it's origin has a
divine and supernatural authority
and is, moreover, superior to the civil
authority, and reject and condemn the
doctrine that the church is independent
or ought to separate itself from the
state. Children must be brought up
in the above views, condemning what
ever the church condemns; and chill
dren must be educated solely in Cath
olc schools by genuinely Catholic
teachers and not on any account in
unsectarian schools which are strictly
forbidden by the church"
The foregoing commands are backed
by many quotations from the bible,
eccleSiasticals, Syllabuses and letters
from different popes. This pamphlet
was issued without duly expressing
church authority and until the organ
of the Roman Catholic church in Ma
Mia, a Spanish newspaper called The
Liberastus, admitted the fact that the
Jesuits had published, and with every
right, the pamphlet in question, con-
siderable doubt was entertained as 10
it's authority.

Kansas City, May 16.-The republi-
can state convention of Missouri today
named delegates and alternates at
large to Philadelphia and nominated
presidential electors and a full ticket.
The nominations for governor and
lieutenant governor were by acclama-
tion and there were but slight con-
tests for the other state officers.
Joseph Flory, of st. Louis, is the
nominee for governor.
The big fight of the convention was
expected to come over the selection of
delegates at large, for which there had
originally been seven avowed cand1-
dates. However, but five names were
presented.
Nathan Frank, of st. Louis, who was
the only man for whom National Com
mitteeman Richard c. Kereens took a
firm stand and who was in addition
demanded by the Zeigenheim ma
chine of st. Louis, was deserted at
the last moment in order to make a
place for Dyer. Thus, for the first
time in twenty years, the republicans
of Missouri broke away from bosses"
This fact was emphasized by the del
egates when Dyer'S selection was
made known by the most enthusiastic
demonstration of the convention. Del
egates waved their hats and stamped
their feet and shouted for Dyer in a
manner that stopped proceedings for
several minutes
The convention voted to name ne
groes for ahernates at large and the
QuartEtte were selected by acclama-
tion.
The platform adopted reiterates the
platform of SO, endorses Mckinley s
administration as bestowing the high
est prosperity the country has ever
known. 1t also endorses the Nicara-
guam canal bill.

BRYAN AND TOWNE.
Both Oppose Nomination of Candi-
date for Vice President.

Washington, May 16.-Chairman
Butler, of the peoples party national
committee, said today it was true that
both Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Towne had
expressed a preference not to have the
peoples party nominate for vice presi-
dent, but that the conventions judg-
ment was that the best way to elect
both was to nominate them. He said
neither of the two was acquainted with
the present situation as Ito the popular
vote, and to have appeared to disband
the peoples party organization would
have lost Mr.. Bryan ten populist votes
for every gold democrat vote he would
have won back to him. The conven-
tion's action, he said, was the necessa-
ry thing to insure Bryan'S election.
