TILLMAN WITHDRAWS
HIS RESIGNATION

Columbia, S. c., June Ex-senator
Tillman, protesting against the COVER
nor's right to reject the senatorial
designations, last night withdrew his
resignation. In his letter to Governor
McSweeney, Senator Tillman says:
II have Senator McLaurin's com
munication, in which he graciously
consents, at your request, to hold on
TO his commission as United States
senator, and continue to serve the
state as he has done in the past, to the
best OF his ability
"This leaves me one of three alterna-
tives: To appeal to the Democratic eX-
ecutive committee to take the matter
up and determine what the best inter
ests of the party requires to be done;
to appeal to the Senate itself to deter
mine whether n resignation from that
body to take effect at some future
time is binding, or withdraw my own
resignation.
Il have already said had no mo-
tive or purpose in resigning except to
force McLaurin's resignation, and
there H. nothing for me to do but to ac-
cept the situation and withdraw my
own resignation, If it be lawful for me
to do So"
Governor McSwcency wrote n caus-
tic letter in reply, saying, among other
things:
Had you read carefully my letter
addressed to you and to Senator Nc
Laurin, you must have seen that l did
not express any desire to compel a
member of the United States Senate
to hold his commission and exercise
the functions of that office If he chose
to surrender it.
"If you still wish to resign your
commission. and will send to this office
an unconditional resignation, l will ex-
ercise the authority and power vested
in me by the people"

SECRETARY OF WAR WILL

Washington, June THE new civil
government to be established in the
Philippines is receiving the considera-
ton of the President and the secretary
of war. 1t will differ very little from

This government will have control OF
all civil affairs, but it will be under the
war power to the extent of being direct

be n nice distinction rs to the authority
of the general commanding the troops
in the Philippines and the governor to

Denver. June 1.-THE deficit in
funds and other money matters wor-
ried the Episcopal Council mt its ses-
sion yesterday.
The finance committee began 1t by
recommending that the unimproved
real estate of Jarvis hall, held In trust
for endowment purposes, be sold and
the money so obtained put into real
estate that would bring in some reve-
nue.. The estate had produced de-
ficit. mainly through taxes. 1t was
finally decided that the council recon-
mend the change. Bishop Spaudling
has been the principal sufferer through
the deficit In that only portion of his
salary had been paid.
This brought up the question of the
deficit In the episcopate funds. Benja-
min Brewster, chairman of the finance
committee, said: "Bishop Spauld-
ing should have his full salary of &c.
600 year, to which he is entitled. This
year we only secured $4,000. which we
have paid to the bishop. He took 1t
and in giving us his receipt, also
handed us release to all the back sal
ary due him, being the sum Of $15,-
OOO."
This announcement quieted the coun-
Gil considerably, and n motion was
made to inquire into the impairment of
the funds, which was explained by
Chairman Brewster in the afternoon.
1t seemed to be the opinion of some
of the laymen. and the clergy as well,
that If they paid the coupons, they
should not be asked to contribute to
the bishops salary. The coupon fund
being an amount which was fixed by
Bishop Spaulding himself, anu
through the fixing of it and promises
to pay, the church secured gift
amounting to $4,000 in real estate,
half OF which had been sold for S1O,-
600. The matter was finally settled

COLORADO WILL HAVE
NEW SUGAR FACTORIES

Denver, June From Eaton George
Il. Caldwell, correspondent Of the Den
yer News, telegraphs that the $780,
600 Eaton beet sugar factory Is prac-
tically an accomplished fact. The
foundations of the buildings will be
laid this year and the factory itself
in full operation next year. The site
selected for the factory is In the Eaton
suburbs convenient to the railroad
track and depot and so situated that
the factory drainage Will have an ex-
haustive natural outlet down deep
drain or gulch-a fact which gives the
town OF Eaton n clean bill of health
ns regards factory operations. The fac
tory's beet growing contracts, going
into effect next year, cover the re-
quired 1000 acres. of which cx-Gov-
ernor Eaton and his son A. j. Eaton
furnished 1000 acres. The company
will pay So ton for beets delivered
at the factory.
About 1000 additional acres will be
cultivated this year under the extern
sion of the Larlmer county canal, with
5000 or 1000 more acres probably add
ed next year, the latter figures repre-
the extension ditch.
1t is said that the success of the
Greeley beet sugar factory is to be full
ly assured by the contracting for large
beet growing areas by n number of
the heaviest land owners of the colony,
the names of Asa Sterling, ID. Can
field, Horace Clark, etc, being NEIL
toned in this connection.

Carrolton, Ca, June S.-The nerve of
n Georgia sheriff. Joseph Morrill,, to-
day upheld the law of the state and
saved the life of n negro from a mob.
In protecting the negro, who was saved
from the gallows only few hours be-
fore through the effort of his lawyers,
,one life was lost and two men were
wounded. The arrival of the state mi
lftia averted threatened trouble last
night and at o O'Clock n special train
bearing the negro, whose crime was the
murder of a little white boy whom he
found fishing alone, was speeding to-
ward Atlanta under guard.
The man killed In attacking the Jail
was George Bennett of Carrolton, and
the wounded men are Thomas Smith,
n citizen of CarroltOn, and an unknown
man, presumably a farmer.
Thomas S. Word, father OF the muir
dered boy, who was in the front rank
of the would-be lynchers. was not hit.
After Bennett fell Mr.. Word jumped
upon n window sill and exclaimed dra-
matically:
-Shoot me. Mr.. Sheriff: would as
soon die now as any time
Only nine shots were fired and the
walls of the jail show the marks of the
bullets. None of the sherif's posse
was hit.
Williams, the negro who caused the
trouble. was tried and found guilty of
numbering Otis Word January 1. 1901,
and sentenced to be hanged yesterday.
He was only yesterday refused new

has gone abroad relative to the posi-
bility that President Mckinley and
hrs. Mckinley might come to Colo
RADIO and be my guests during the
sump.er, Is entirely erroneous" said
Thomas +. Walsh to Denver re-
porter.
Il did say to a newspaper man that
/ was sure Mr.. Mckinley greatly re-
grettel his inability to visit Colorado
according to the original plan of the
itinerary, and that l had no doubt
that some time before the close of his
administration the President would
make an effort to pay to Colorado the
visit now abandoned, and that, in such
an event, l would be delighted to ell
terrain the President
II did not say, either. that Mrs. Nc
Kinley, as soon as she had sufficiently
recovered here strength, would come
to Colorado for the summer for the re-
cuperation of her health. My remark
on that subject was to the effect that
while Mrs. Mckinley was i'll in San
Francisco it was suggested that she
spend the summer in our state. it be-
ing considered at that time the locality
most favorable TO her recovery. Had
she come we would. of COURSE. have
done all in our power to render her
stay comfortable and pleasant. 1t was
later decided, however, that 1t would
be best for her to return at once to
Washington, and have heard nothing
of it, If she has any present intention
of coming to Colorado"

|ONE NEGRO SAVED FROM A MOB
BY A BRAVE GEORGIA SHERIFF

for the key to the negro's cell, but were
refused. With the refusal they began
their advance upon the sheriff and the
few deputies he had been able to sum
mon to his aid. They were told to stop
or they would be fired on, but the or
der was not obeyed.
As they advanced down the corridor
toward the sheriff the order was given
to fire. Bennett fell, dying almost in
stantly. Thomas Word, the father OF
Williams victim, was in the front
ranks of the mob. The unexpect-
ed fight of the sheriff and his little
posse frightened the mob, and they re-
treated outside the jail. Here they
broke and ran and were soon divided
into little groups. discussing the event.
Sheriff Morrill, at once consulted
Judge Harris, of the County Court. and
1t was decided to call upon Governor
Gambler for aid. The governor was
communicated with by telephone, and
said he would send two companies
from Atlanta as soon rs they could be
assembled.
During the afternoon the mob tele-
phoned the situation to friends in the
adjoining towns of Villa Rica and
Temple, and made an appeal for more
men to get possession Of the negro.
This was communicated also 10 uoVer-
nor Gambler, and the governor soon
wired proclamation to the people or
the county. 1t was read from the steps
of the court house at 4 o'clock by the
mayor.
The governor commanded the people
to disperse. and said the entire military
and civil forces of the state would be
used to enforce the order, II necessary.
The reading of the proclamation appar-
emily had n good effect. as many people
were seen to mount their horses and
leave town. Much apprehension was
felt for the night, and the sheriff and
city and county officials. after n con-
sultation. decided to take the prisoner
out of the county for safe keeping.
The Atlanta militia arrived about o
o'clock and one hour later escorted the
negro and Sheriff Morrill, to the train
for Atlanta.

Grated by electricity. The plan Is
substantially the same as that outlined

drawn in the City Council before it
came to a vote. The line to Boulder
is, however, materially changed by the
new route, which although not yet
definitely settled upon. will be on
grade radically different from that for
merly proposed.
So far as the Boulder line is con-
cerned. the Denver Il Northwestern

MATCHLESS MINE SAVED TO
MRS. TABOR BY A KIND FRIEND

Denver June S.-1he heroic struggle
of Mrs. II. A. w. Tabor to save some
thing for herself and children from the
wreck of her husbands fortune has mt
last been crowned with success. The
Matchless mine, the famous Leadville
property, from which Senator Tabor
extracted $2,OOO,OOO. the money with
which he constructed the Tabor opera
house and Tabor block. has been taken
out of the hands of the mortgagers
and will be operated under the man
agement of Samuel Belford as trustee.
An unknown friend Of the dead sem
ator has advanced the necessary funds
land while Mr.. Belford will hold title
to the property as trustee, very hand
some share OF the proceeds will be
credited to the bank account Of Mrs.
Tabor.
In 1894 the senator mOrtgaged the
property to William II. Everett and ex-
ecuted n lease to the Ransom Leasing
company. Before the mortgage be-
came due in 1896 Everett sold his in
terests to w. X. Harp Of the Union
Coal Company of this city, James w.
Newell and Warren f. Page of Lead
Vile. They also owned the lease and
operated the property, and consented
to extend the mortgage three years
and apply the royalties paid under
the lease on the notes. Last year they
brought foreclosure proceedings in the
District Court of Lake county and
Judge Overs ordered an accounting.
1t was found that 3,4O0 was still due
and the court ordered the mine sold
to satisfy that claim.
Under the law the senator's heirs
had six months In which to redeem.
and creditors who had secured judg-
ments might intervene for nine months.
Mrs. Tabor defaulted In her rights
and then her unknown friend secured
the services of Samuel Belford and his
father, exCongressman James b. Bel
