FROM ASHEVILLE TO FRISCO.

Asheville, N. c., June 20.-The
Asheville & Rutherfordton railway
will be built, and active work on the
proposed line will begin at once. The
road will be built by George T.
CAMS of New York. The contract
was signed today. A corps Of en-
gineers and workingmen are thread
mess to commence operations. Work
on the proposed line will begin at
the Rutherfordton end. The contract
gives Mr.. CAMS about four years in
which to complete the road. The
line, however, will be completed in
perhaps just half this time. The 10
cation of the line has not been de
termined. The road will run via
Fairview and will enter Asheville
frem the southern part of the city.
"The building ofthis road means, y
said n of the parties directly inter
ested in the movement, 'that San
Francisco and all principal points on
the Pacific coast, as well as to prin-
cipal cities on the Atlantic, may be
reached from Asheville over this
line without change of cars"

Cleveland's Great Address at the
Tilden Club.

Cleveland's Great Address at the
Tilden Club.
New York, June 19.-Democratic
unity was the keynote today of a
great gathering of representative
Democrats who hadscome to attend
the opening of the handsome new
quarters of the Tilden Club. Adj
dresses made by prominent
Democrats and afterward a:collation
was served in the banquet hall to
the distinguished guests of the even
ing and a buffet supper was served
in the basement for the rank and
file.
To Democrats the event was one
of most memorable for many a day
and Grover Cleveland and David B.
Hill met in harmony, seeking to
draw the factions Of their party to-
gether. It was the first sspublic politi-
cal appearance Of the eX-President
in five years. He spoke first, ex-
Senator Hill spoke after him
and then Governor A. j. Montague,
of Virginia, and Col. w. A. CASTOR,
of Boston, delivered addresses. Mr..
Bryan had been invited to attend,
but no reply was received from him.
Cleveland and Hill shook hands
most cordially.
CLEVELAND's ADDRESS.
There was tremendous applause as
MI. Cleveland assembled the small
platform. He said in part:

The Coal Fields of China.

A report has been published upon the coal fields of China, and those around Tse-chau were visited by Prof. Drake. who found that the workable coal lies in one bed about 250 feet above a fint-bearing lime stone stratum, below which there may also be coal. The thickness of the same is probably not less than 22 feet and at one place it is worked through a shaft 329 feet deep. Prof. Drake estimates that within 150 square miles around Tse-chau there are about 5000 million metric tons of coal. Most of Shan-si has been found underlaid by large coal beds. It is also considered that the anthra- cite coal of Shan-si amounts to 5000 million metric tons and that the coal area is greater than that of Pennsyl- vania. Nearly all the coal is mined through shafts varying from 50 to 300 feet. No steam is used for raising the coal to the surface and explosives are employed. Very little coal is mined through inclines. For local use coal is taken away in carts drawn by oxen.

SAM JONES ON BISHOP POTTER.
Evangelist Makes Vicious Attack on New York Divine For his Attitude
 Toward Prohibition.

A short time since the Journal miner published quotation from an address of Bishop Potter, of New York, giving his views on prohibition. Evangelist Sam Jones has contribu- ted the following to an Atlanta, Georgia paper in which he gives his views, in rather a vicious manner, of Bishop Potter:
 He charges that Bishop Potter rep resents no one but the 400" of New York, breaches the doctrine of the voluptuary, seeks to broaden the ten commandments and liberalize the moral laws.
 The letter sayss Bishop Potter of New York knows as little about us poor white people in Georgia as we care about him in New York. He runs with a different crowd and trains with a different gang. The good, God-fearing people ot Georgia are for prohibition and we don't like the names he calls us and the names he calls our pet theory, such as ''impu- dent fraud and imprudent failure"
 ''I tell you in New York when they take bishop around with them and dine him and stuff and toast him, it does not take him long to imbibe the views of wine bibbers and gluttons and to preach the doctrines of volup- tuaries from the platform. How long before the bishop and his gang will be broadening the ten command ments and liberalizing the moral law as they would have it read: Thou shalt not steal less than a million dollars; Thou shalt not break the Sabbath but bend it double if there is money in it. "Thou shalt not covet, but get all you can and keep all you get;' Thou shalt not kill single man, but like John Bull kill them by thousands and it is O. K.; mingle and mix with preachers and people. I don't know a faithful true minister of God today who is not a prohibitiopists in sentiment and heart, ncr do I know a God fearing member of the church who is not anti-whiskey from bottom to top. You may take Jerry Me Aulay's work in New York City among the buns and thugs, a man whose life was consecrated to the sal vation of the poor and the humble. His sentiments were as much at anti podes with Bishop Potter's as is heaven from hell.
 Give us ministers of God who are true to the right and who look not with the least allowance upon sin and crime, and then have hopes for the triumph of right and the defeat of wrong"

New Mining Brokerage Firm.

J. T. Pendegast, who has been en. gagged in mining work in the field on the Prospect for some time past, has resigned his position and opened a mining and stock brokerage office on the ground floor of the Lawler build ing, in this city. The new firm will sample properties for customers, make examinations and reports on mines which they will have listed and for sale, and the new establishment which will be known as J. T. Pende- gast & O., will handle mining shares in Arizona companies as well as min ing claims in Northern Arizona. Properties and stock will be negotia- ted on commission basis. and the new firm ought to be very successful as the time is ripe for just such con cern in this field.
 The new firm are thorough mining men and are familiar with the mines of the different districts in Northern Arizona, especially in Yavapai county and are well acquainted with mine owners and operators.
 In their advertisement in this issue they announce that authentic and re- liable information will be furnished to intending investors and parties in terested in Arizona mining, regarding the mines and mining companies of Northern Arizona, and fromtheir per sonal acquaintance with the field and conditions, and the conservative prin- ciples on which it is intended to con- duct the business, the services of J. T. Pendegast X Co. should prove sat isfactory in every way to their clients.

Cobre Grand Case

The Cobre Grande Copper com pany case was argued in the supreme court yesterday by Attorneys Morri- son and Barnes on one side and At torneys Wilson and Hawkins on the other. The argument was on the ap- plication of Axel W. Hallenborg and James Shirley for leave to intervene and become parties to the suit of the Cobre Grande Copper company vs. William c. Greene ct al.
 This is one of the most noted cases on record and involves capital from New York to the Cityof Mexico. Hal lenborg and Shirley appeared before Judge Street after the Cobre Grande cOmpany's suit against Greene had been submitted and just before a de- cision was rendered and asked to be- come parties to the suit. Their ap- plication was denied because the case had advanced too far and an appeal was taken. The arguments of yester- day were considered by the judges in chambers and a decision will prob ably be rendered today.-GaZette.

Gold in Philippines.

On the island of Mindanoa, Surigao
 province, about 400 miles southeast of
 Manila, there isa peculiar gold placer
 deposit. A mountain ten miles west of the port of Surigao gives pan pros
 poets on all sides from the foot of the
 hill to the top. The gold in place seems to be in small calcite stringers in serpentine. The extensive disin- tegration of the serpentine has lib erated the gold, which is found in chrystalline form. A shale bedrock has been exposed in some places in workings in the ravines. About fifteen Americans, mostly ex-soldiers, were working on the mountains, but none were making wages. The Fili- pino men and women have worked the deposit for years and according to local authorities have taken out much gold. The Filipinos work the gulches and hillsides and also drift in under the deposits following good streaks. They use their hands and a stick for digging and carry out the earth in cocoanut shells and baskets to water, where it is banned in a wooden batea, in the use of which they are very expert.
 Most of the Philippines are virgin ground, never explored by the pros pector.
 No white man has ever been in the interior of Mindanao. The Spaniards did not venture far from the coast on account of the Moros.
 Many of the streams and ocean beaches give gold prospects,. The best pan the writer saw was about seven cents to the pan.
 Until congress passes a mining and land law for the Philippines, but little can be done in developing the islands. Land courts should be es- tablished to clear up old titles. Min ing titles will be easy to clear, as the little mining done by Europeans has all been done under the Philippine mining law of 1S46. The titles to agricultural land are in very bad | shape on account of many verbal transfers and no records. There is no producing gold quartz mine in the Philippines, but it is csrtain that there will be later on. The writer saw one vein that assays $40 to the ton in gold.
 The climate of the Philippines com pares favorably with that of the coast of Mexico and Central America, and is not unhealty for those who take rare of themselves. However it is too hot for European laborers, and it is good place for the workingman to avoid.-Ex.

CIVILIZInG THE INDIANS.
No More Long Hair or Painted Faces to be Permitted Among the Noble
 Brothers and Sisters.

A Washington special to the St Louis Globe-Democrat says: Mir
 Hitchcock, secretary of the interior and Mir. Jones, commissioner of In dian affairs, have decided upon an other step toward the civilization of the Indian. This is in the form of a decree that Indians of both sexes shall hereafter be prohibited from painting their faces and that the men must begin patronizing barber shops. Dances are also prohibited in connec- ton with funerals and other cere- monies. The agents of all reserya- tions are instructed to carry out regu- lations of the department which have been issued in circular form. Some of the provisions of the letter to agents are as follows:
 "The wearing of long hair by the male population of your agency is not in keeping with the advancement they are making, or will soon be ex- pected to make, in civilization. The wearing of short hair by the males will be a great step in advance and will certainly hasten their progress toward civilization. The returned male student far too frequently goes back to the reservation and falls into the old custom of letting his hair grow long. He also paints profusely and adopts all the old habits and customs which his education in our industrial schools has tried to eradi- cate. The fault does not lie so much with the schools as with the condi- tions found on the reservations.
 "On many of the reservations the Indians of both sexes paints, claiming that it keeps the skin warm in winter and cool in summer. But instead this paint melts when the Indian per spires and runs down into his eyes. The use of this paint leads to many diseases of the eyes.
 You are therefore directed to in struct your male Indians to cut their hair and both sexes to stop painting. With some of the Indians this will be an easy matter; with others it will re- quire considerable tact and persever- ance on the part of yourself aud your employees to successfully carry out these instructions. With your Indian employees and those Indians who draw rations and supplies it should be an easy matter, as a non compliance with this order may be made a reason for discharge or for withholding rations and supplies.
 "The wearing of citizens clothing instead of the Indian costume and blankets should be encouraged.
 Indian dances and so-called In dian feasts should he prohibited. In many cases these dances and feasts are simply subterfuges to cover de- grading acts, to disguise immoral purposes. You are directed to use your best efforts in the suppression of these evils.
 ''On or before June 30,- 1902, you will report to this office the progress you have made in the suppression of klo~o a,-,lo c

 Suit has been filed at Dallas, Texas, by the county attorney against Gran vile P. Meade, in the federal court, receiver for the Standard Light x Power company of Dallas.

 Judge Advocate Lemley and Soli- citor Hanna in their sscomments" or brief in answer to Schley's appeal to the president conclude as follows, in reference to the question raised by Schley in his appeal to the effect that he was in command of the squadron during the battle at Santlego. "The plain truth of the matter, therefore, developed under the searchlight of this inquiry, although quite incident ally, is that so far as the Gloucester, the Iowa, the Indiana, the Texax and the Oregon were concerned, not a stroke of the propeller blade, not a touch of the helm, not the firing of shot was done under the direction or by orders of Admiral Schley during this memorable battle.p
 Edward Riddle dying in jail at But Ter, Pa, John Bibble riddled with buckshot and in a precarious condi- tion, and Mrs. Peter K. Soffel lying m the hospital with self-inhicted bullet wound in her breast, is the sequel of the sensational escape of the Riddle brothers from the Allegheny county jail, aided by Mrs. Soffel, wife of the jail warded, on Thursday morn ing. The close of the Riddle tragedy came on a snow covered road, two miles east of Prospect, Butler county, where two double sleIghs, filled with eight officers met the two Riddles and Mrs. Soffel in a one-horse slegh, stolen at Perrysville, and at once opened fire on the trio. The Riddles promptly answered with a shotgun and revolvers. When Ed. Riddle fell and Mrs. Soffel saw she was about to be captured, she fired bull let into her breast. An examinatin of the wound shows she will recover, IS the bullet was dedected by her corset, and the wound was compara- lively slight.

The international exposition has, on account of its frequency and the hap hazard way in which it is project ed and carried through, become a de- cadent institution that has lost al most all of its real value. The result of all the schemes for such exhibitions is that they are not representative of what they should be, and that their awards have lost value as expressing merit, when nearly every exhibitor can buy all the medals be wants. This is rather a serious charge, but it is made by an eminent professor of economies.
