One way in which the optimists OF
Senator Lodges committee could gain
a large measure OF credence for the
administrations view that conditions In
the Philippines are good and are grow
ing rapidly better would be TO present
the testimony OF leading Filipinos TO
that effect. II Is known in the United
States that we have q penal colony for
some Fllipinos OF prominence. that 9th
ers are imprisoned In Manila and that
still others are hiding In the jungles.
II Is known also that some Of them hold
office In the civil government, Of which
Gov, Taft Is the head, but with what
sincerity they act Is not known by
Americans on this side Of the Pacific
IT, indeed, It is known by Americans
anywhere. Effuslve thanks for our pres
ence In those islands have not been ex-
pressed by any Filipinos OF standing
within the hearing Of the people OF the
United States

THE PRESENT CONTENTION.

We are pleased to know that the pro-
test Of the Dcseret News against the
revival OF the old contention which
tended to array against each other the
"Mormon" and Gentle citizens Of
Utah, 10 endorsed by the majority Of our
people without regard TO their rel-
gious or political procliyltes, There
nre few persons. however, In whose
breasts the old bitter spirit OF strife
Is stll active, who take delight IN fam
ming the small flame which was rekln-
died at the latest sitting OF the city
Council II Is Of no use to apologize for
1t, or TO attempt by sophistical pleading
to make It appear in any way justlh-
able.
There Is division OF opinion among
members Of the city Council as to the
action OF the Mayor IN his endeayor to
remove from office the Chief Of Police
without presenting the name OF the per-
son whom he wishes to install as his
successor. AS the Deseret News has
heretofore explained, the CITY Council
has co-ordTnate powers with the Mayor
In the removal or appointing OF the
head Of department. Every member
Of the Council has the right to his opln-
ion as we'll as to his vote. There Is
nothing In his oath Of Office or the du-
ties OF his calling, which requires him
TO agree with the Mayor in Glitter Of
these matters,
II makes no difference whether he
belongs to the same or another po-
litical party. lie Is not bound by party
ties to jump when the Mayor pulls the
string, To hear some members talk on
the floor OF the council one would be
led to suppose that their Idea Of duty
In the matter Of q removal or an APP
polntment by the Chief Executive, was
simply TO echo his orders. II should be
understood that every member OF the
city Council Is supposed to represent
che city's interests and the wishes Of
The body Of the people and not simply
the opinions Of one individual, however
lofty may be his motives and however
sincere may be his views. II Is no re-
Fiction on the personality Of the Mayor
when members Of the council dissent
from his conclusions. II is their right
10 do so, and they should be upheld in
It BY their colleagues, even though they
differ with them in debate, The masses
Of the people viii support them In this
right, and the attempt to disoredt them
by destinations about their religion is
utterly condemnable, no matter from
what source It proceeds

Ill Feeling Between Those Who

Bloemfontein, June n.-A strong con-
trast Of the good feeling existing be-
tween Briton and Boer is the bitter feel
ing existing between the burghers who
are surrendering under the peace terms
and those burghers who surrendered
during the campaign. When the Boer
leaders came to Bloemfontein, previous
to the conclusion of peace, they curtly
refused to shake hands with those who
had previously surrendered. The gen.
eral belief is that relations between
these two classes of Beers will be en-
bittered for a long time.

sf READS With GREAT RAPlD1TY
PATIENTS STRAPPED TO THEIR
BEDS ARE LEFT TO THEIR
FATE.
OVER THIRTY ARE INJURED
MANY JUMP FROM WINDOWS BE.
FORE THEY CAN BE PRE-
VENTED.

Chicago, June II. Nine men and
one woman were killed and about thir-
fy persons were injured in a fire which
destroyed the sanitarium conducted by
the st. Luke's society in this city. By
Far the greater portion of the patients
received In the institution were those
seeking cure from the drink habit and
those who were addicted to the use of
drugs. When the fire broke out there
was on the fifth floor a number of pa
tients suffering from delirium trernens
and some who were deranged by drugs.
Several Of these were strapped to their
beds and 1t was found impossible to
have them so rapidly did the fire spread
through the building.
Origin of the Fire.
The fire originated in the basement Of
the building and spread rapidly to the
upper stories throughout the elevator
Bhaft. The Olaze was discovered by
James Newell, a grocer, who was driv-
Ing through the alley in the rear Of the
building. He noticed smoke coming
from one of the basement windows and
ran into the engine room to discover its
cause. Behind the boilers in the center
OF the cellar and within few feet Of
the elevator shaft he saw a small flame.
The next instant the flames were
caught by the draft in the elevator
.thaft and carried up with roar. New
ell shouted to several men in the alley
to give the alarm and to warn the In
mates of the danger. Several hurried
to do this, but by the time they reached
The first floor of the building the flames
lad been carried to the roof, had eaten
through 1t and were leaping high in the
-kir.
Jumped From Windows.
AS the cry Of fire rang through the
building patients sprang from their
beds and before they could be prevent
ed, several had jumped from the win
dows to the pavement. The fire depart
inent was on the scene within few
minutes, and as the windows were filled
with people shrieking for help the fire.
men devoted their first efforts to save
lives and allowed the fire to burn.
While this was the means of saving
large number of people who were car
xied down the ladders by firemen, 1t
gave the fire such headway that there
was almost no chance for those on the
upper floors of the building to make
their escape, and such of them as were
not suffocated were killed or badly In
1ured by leaping from the windows.
