Of course, the quantity of gold obtained
is a very small fraction of that carried by
the ore, and as the gold is bartered to Chi
nese peddlers and ambulant traders, the
producers get but small return for their
labor and are miserably poor. The ground
between the mountains and the coast is
mostly alluvial, and the village of Nam
bulao, in this district, has long been noted
for the placer washings in its vicinity.
In the adjoining province of Tayabas
gold has also been found in the hills or
mountains around the town OF Altimonan;
also in many of the spurs of the Caraballo
Mountains, in alluyial deposits in the
Gapan country and in the sands of the
rivers Ango and Anglican, in the prov
ince of Nueva Eciia, and in many places
in the Caraballo de Baler country, between
that province and that of Nueva Viscaya
On the Island of Polillo, lying off the east
coast, it has also been obtained from the
shores of the river of the same name. In
the north of the province of Cagayan it
has been found in the districts around the
town of Pamplona; in the townships OF
Lanag and Bangui, in the province of
llocos, in the province of IlocOs NOrte; in
the sands of the River Abra, which dis
charges near the town of Vigan, on the
coast OF "acos Sur. 1t has also been
found in ~ places in the country in
habited by Igorrotes and Igorrote- Chinese,
in the district of Benguet, particularly
near the villages of Gatapa, Bagnio, Ca
punga, Lutal, Automac and PangotcOcan,
near the latter of which some mines We're
worked by Mexicans during the last CEN
fury; in the township of Batincoquin, in
the north of Zambales province; in the
rivers near the towns of Santa Maria and
San Jose of Bulacan, in the Tierras de
Caramoan, in the province OF Camarines
Sur; in the township of Ligao, in Albuy;
in the ravines of Lanating and Cayguran,
in the province of Morong, and in the
ravines and creeks of Macaburaboc and
Camandag, near the town of Montalban,
in the province of Manila.
1t will thus be seen that gold is widely
distributed throughout the Island of
Luzon; how many of these deposits will
prove to be rich enough to pay for system
attic work and the introduction of machin-
cry remains n problem which the future
must solve, but l know that the owners
of some of them are sanguine of securing
good results whenever the country may be
pacified and capital and labor shall be pro-
tected under American control.
In the great southern Island of Minda-
mao gold has been found i'll many places,

called to frame Constitution, which met

And called him home with saints TO rest.
There Is q time we all must go,
And leave this sinful world below.
Well meet him on happier shore,
Where sin and sorrow will be DER.
Weep not, you loved ones here below,
Twas Jesus called for him to go.
He will forever happier be
Where be has gone across the sea-

My heart goes forth to meet the Spring
With the step OF u bounding roe,
For It seems like the touch of u serapbs wing
When the pleasant south winds blow.
o. ! love the loneliness that lies
In the smiling heart OF May,
Tho beauty throbblng In violet eyes,
The breath Of tho fragrant hay.
There's great calm joy In the song Of birds
And In the voice OF the streams,
In the lowly peace Of liocks and herds,
And our own souls quiet dreams
30 my heart goes forth to meet the Spring,
Asa lover TO his bride;
And over us both there broods the wing
OF the angel at her side.

TENNESSEE FACTIONS.
The Fight Between the Evans and
BrownIOw Republican Forces.


NASHVILLE, Tenn. April 17.-At to-
days session of the Republican state
executive committee the Evans support
ers filed a protest against the committees
deciding contests for seats as delegates to
the state convention, which will meet on
Thursday The committee decided not to
prepare temporary roll call. and instead
of deciding contests will leave them to be
acted upon by the uncontested delegates.
This reverses the action taken by the COM
mittee at yesterdays session.
Pension Commissioner Evans and Con-
gressman Brownlow are both here marshall
ing their forces for the state convention,
which meets Thursday. AS things now
stand Brownlow has 179 uncontested votes;
Evans, l19; Gibson. who will vote with
Brownlow, 13e, leaving 3l1 votes in contest.
1s3 uncontested delegates and that Brown
low should have only 145 and Gibson only
49, They charge that frivolous contests
have been made against Evans delegates in
counties where there has been no special
attempt TO hold a second convention. The
Brownlow people are not doing much talk
ing, but express confidence in their ability
to control the convention The ante-con-
vention skirmishing has emphasized the
likelihood of a bolt and two sets of dele
gates to the national convention. From
talk among the Evans people the fight may
be carried into the state and congressional
campaigns, with the result of two Repub-
lican nominations fo~ all of these Offices.

M'KINLEY HELD UP TO sCORN
IN AN IMAGINARY ROLL CALL OF
DISTINGUISHED STATESMEN.
No One Supposed to Favor Betention
of the Philippines, Except the
Arch Traitor, Aaron Burr.

WASHINGTON. April 17-For more than
three hours to-day Mr.. Hoar, the senior
senator from Massachusetts,. occupied the
attention of the Senate with a speech IN
opposition to the policy Of imperialism"
upon which, he maintained. this govern
ment has embarked. AS prepared. the adj
dress was $4,000 words in length. but Mr.
Hoar omitted much Of IL owing 10 an in
cipient attack OF the grip from which he
was suffering. He spoke for three hours.
and, while II was a tremendous strain on
him. the more important passages OF the
argument were delivered with force and
vigor. The speech was brilliantly written.
was illuminated with splendid rhetorical
figures, and was ricn with citations from
history. One of the notable parts OF the
address was the eulogy of Aguinaldo. Mr.
Hoar did not nken the insurgent leader to
Washington, as has been done heretofore.
but to Kossuth, Dom Paul, Joubert. Nathan
Hale and other builders of the church OF
liberty. In statecraft he likened Aguinaldo
and his associates in the leadership OF the
Filipinos to the best minds ever produced
in the Asiatic race-a race which handed
down to us "the Scriptures of the Old and
New Testaments. the poetry of David. the
eloquence of Isaiah, the wisdom OF Solo
mon. and the profound philosophy OF Paul"
One of the most effective parts OF the
address was his fancied roll call OF some OF
the distinguished statesmen OF the United
States on the question OF the retention of
the Philippines. He began with George
Washington and closed with William Me-
Kinley. each, in a sentence, giving the rea-
son for his vote. Every one was in tho
negative, except that OF Aaron Burr. who
voted yes and explained: 'You are re-
peating my buccaneering expedition down
the Mississippi. 1 am to be vindicated at
last"
When the name Of William Mckinley was
called he replied: There has been a cloud
before my vision for moment, but 1 see
clearly now. I go back to what said two
years ago: 'Forcible annexation is GRIM
inal aggression; givers derive their just
powers from the consent Of the governed,
not of some of them, but of all OF them
1 will stand with the fathers of the Re-
public. / will stand with the founders OF
the Republican party. No.
The effect was dramatic as Mr.. Hoar
pronounced his peroration- The stiffness IN
the chamber was intense. Applause swept
over the galleries. but IL was hushed quick
ly by the president pro TEN.
