Bishop Thoburn Says God Placed the Islands in the Hands of Ameri-' ca-Patterson's Questions
 Ruled Out.

Washington. May 2.-Bishop Thoburn of the Methodist Episcopal Church of In- dia and Malasia was before the Senate Committee on Philippines today. He said the American occupation of the islands should be continued: that it was an act of God.
 Senator Patterson asked whether the occupation of Cuba was an act of God and when Bishop Thopurn replied in the affirmative, Senator Patterson asked if the WithdraWal was also the act 70 God.
 Ut is too soon to answer that" he re- piled. The United States may have to go back there.'
 Senator Beveridge objected to the ques- sustained the objection
 Bishop Thoburn saio he believed that with an independent Philippine govern ment the Macabees would he extermlnat- ed within twelve months.
 Senator Patterson put other questions asking Bishop Thoburn's opinion as to whether the United States. course in the Philippines was right or wrong. but the Bishop said he could not very well dis c1Iss theological questions here
 In response to questions from Senator Carnack. Bishop Thoburn expressed the oninion that the Filip;ros are now better disposed toward American missionaries than they were at the close of the Span ish war. In proof of this statement he said there Is now an attendance of l2. 900 people at the Methodist Church in Ma nila and both in that city and the out

 Asked for a statement as to the moral and intellectual capacity of the Filipinos. the Bishop replied:
 Tn many respects they are like the American Indians. There is no coherenee among them. They are divided into tribes and the biggest man among them Is generally recognized as a sultan. They are bright and quick. but not profound, and 1 am afraid they are treacherous."
 The Bishop thought 1t would be a crime to remove the present American restraints in the Philippines"
 In response to questions by Senator Culbersop. Bishop ,Thoburn said he be- lieved the F'ilipinos should have a pro- tectorate after the manner of the British protectbrate. The Bishop said he did not believe that originally the American gov ernment had, when Admiral Dewey went to Manila. any inteption of taking control of the Philippines. President Mckinley. he said, had told him that he had tried in every possible way to avoid the .n- nexation of the Philippines,

BODIES STILL IN MINES.
Victims of Fraterville Disaster Not
 Yet Reached.

Knoxville Tenn, May PA special to The Sentinel from Coal Creek, Tenn. Is to the effect that the fourth day of terror at Coal Creek finds twenty to twenty-two bodies of victims of the Fraterville mine horror still missing.
 Searching parties have brought out 204 dead bodies. and they are now hard at work in the dark portals of three entries in the mine in efforts to recover the re- maining twenty or twenty-two.
 These figures are given out by Super intendent George Camp of the Coal Creek Company.
 Every entry in Fraterville mine has been explored and all have been thor oughly gone over except three on the right hand side, It Is in these three the men are now laboring, and the very heavy depo-its of loose coal, which prob ably accumulated as a result of the ex- plosion, is making the work slow.
 It is the theory that the missing bodies are buried in this slack and that being the case. 1t is said they will be found well preserved, as slack coal has a preserving and cooling effect, especially when bodies are buried 50 deep.
 The rescuers encountered the death gas this morning and were forced to abandon their work in these entries until a greater supply of fresh air could be forced there- In. The gas difficulty was soon overcome and the work proceeded.
 An awful stench pervades the niine due to the numerous dead human bodies that have been found therein and also to the dead carcasses of nineteen mules, none of which have yet been brought out.
 R. M. Lindsay of the relief committee, is of the opinion that all the bodies will have been taken out by tonight. He says the work of administering to the needy is now on in earnest Out of the large amount subscribel for the relief fund, a very small portion has reached Coal Creek but the early receipt of the full amount is hoped for.
 Some conception of the distress may be had when 1t is stated that the large ma jority of the men who died in the mine left families absolutely dependent, having no means whatever save the daily earn. inss of the men whose lives have thus been cut off.
 Governor McMillin has issued a procla- nation calling upon the people of the State to send assistance to Coal Creek. It Is reported that Congressman Gibson and Brovnlowsof the East Tennessee dss. tricts. have been asked to solicit Federal relief

LOVERS SHOOT THEMSELVES.
Girl and Boy Try to Commit Suicide
 in Mobile. ~

Mobile. Ala. May 22 At late hour last night George Roden. aged years. son Of Thomas Roden, well known printer of this city. and Nellie Criminale the pretty l4-year- old daughter of Charles Criminale shot them selves with suicidal intent.
 Roden died about 4:3o o'clock at the city hospital, to which institution they were re mcved shortly after being discovered. wh oh was some time after the shooting occurred.
 The only particulars of the shooting were obtained from the young lady, and are as fol- lows:
 George and I have been going together for five years. Tonight we went to party and afterwards went on the to Virginia Street going to the house of girl friend She lived two squares from Marine street As we start ed he said he had a pistol. and l asked him to hand 1t to me hut he refused. We had gotten little distance from the track when his coat blew back and the pistol showed l snatched it and as did fl ne made grab for me. but before he could stop me hred' He said: , . A., ,, and took the pistol and shot himself
 Another theory advanced as the cause ot the young peoples rash act is that the father of inc Eirl had threatened to kill the boy If he called on the girl at the house It IS also aiIeend that the boy became jealous or the girl ana shot her and then shot himSelf.

THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS
ARCHITECTS WILL SOON BE
 DRAWING PLANS.
In Case of Anniston and Selma, Sites Must First Be Selected and
 the Titles Thereto Per
 fected and Approved.

Washington. May 22.-(Special) )-The supervising architect of the Treasury Department will shortly begin the work of planning to carry out the provisions of the public buildings and grounds bill which passed the Sc nate yesterday. It is the policy of the department to complete additions before Jew projects are under taken. In the case of the cities deserving new buildings, as Selma and Anniston, the appropriations for the latter city having been increased s25,0oO through the efforts of Senator Pettus and Representa- tive Bowie, the first duty of the super vising architect will be to select site and refer the titles to the Attorney-Gen- eral for approval. This will take several months. In cases where additions to buildings have been provided for, as Montgomery, the architect will detail q draughtsman to visit the city within two or three months to report upon the most feasible method of. improvement within the amount appropriated.

Hoar's Great Speech.

Senator Hoars speech on the Philip pines today is the talk of Washington. By many it Is regarded as one of the great est o-atoricai efforts Tn the history of Congress Undoubtedly the veteran New England anti-imperialist delivered the most forceful speech against the policy of the Republican administration since the subject has been ag!tated. Without regard to party, the members of iee Sen ate lead the galleries in applauding his effort. Senator Hoar's speech will be used extensively in the campaign this fall. Although coming from a member of the opposite party, it Is conceded to be the best and fairest presentation of the Democratic position and an unan- sWerable argument.
