ss,ecs Man Sufficient u Congress
Opens Country to Homestead Laws.
Manila, Feb. 3.--Maniia II intensely
interested as to what action congress
will take concerning the Philippine
Islands. Ordinary local politics have
been forgotten and two parties have
been formed, the optimists and the
pessimists. Some think that life and
property are unsafe outside of the
towns Of the islands, while others
ridicule such ideas and consider life
and property to be assured.
Criticisms of the statement Of Civil
Governor Taft that he believed $4,000
men would be sufficient to garrison the
islands in a year arc plentiful. Yet
the majority OF the business men who
are financially interested in the prov
inces say that Governor Taft is right
on one condition only, that being that
congress acts for the benefit of the
Philippines.
Captain Frank Green. president of
the American chamber of commerce
here, says he fully believes that Civil
Governor Taft's forecast can be real
ized If congress will arrange to open
the country to mining and homestead
laws, and to open and enlarge forestry
reserves. Should this legislation be
effected, an act by the Philippine COM
mission granting franchises would nat
urally follow, and American capital in
large quantities, as we'll as many
American miners and homestead seek
ers, would come to the islands.

WATERBURY, CONN,

Over Fifty Business Houses Wiped
Our During Night.
LOSS is FOUR MILLIONS

Waterbury, Conn Feb. 3-This
morning the manufacturing town
of Waterbury is rains. The fire
started yesterday evening in ire
mendous gale, making it impossi-
Bile for the tiremen to subdue the
flames until after midnight.
Early this morning the fire

for awhile that nothing would be
left of the city, but the fremen,
after heroic efforts, again got the
fire under control, and today the
city is a smouldering mass of
ruins.
The latest estimate places the
loss at S4,0cG,0oO.
Fifty-hve business houses, in
cluding the finest in town, are
among those destroyed.
The fire took everything on
Grand street, from Bank to Lea
venworth street.
1t is cold day and the wind is
blowing AT the rate of sixty miles
en- hour.
The work of relief has begun
and the committee will have plenty
to do.

Saturday evening. The young
men were driving out to West

Grande tracks, across the f. a. @.
G. railroad, Rio Grand express
train No. came bounding in, and
they claim that they we're unable
to see the train until it had reached
point within few feet of them.
The horse, fearing danger, made a
rapid turn to the left and upset
the vehicle, throwing out the occu-
pants and demolishing the buggy,
breaking two wheels, an axle, dash
board and shafts. The occupants
were only slightly scratched. The
horse ran for the stable
Messrs @Morrisey stated this
morning that the engineer did not
give warning of the trains ap-
proach and that the hagman had
left his post of duty. Had the
gentlemen attempted to Cross the
tracks they would probably have
been killed. Several similar oc-
currences have been reported re-

this prestige, the Big Fork boom

too late to make il the formidable
rival that it has promised to be

But those interested in the in

are hopeful Of railroad connec-
tions by way of Deer River. The
Simms' logging road has been
extended from the Great North
#ern at that station and it is re-
ported that it will be continued
directly to the two towns on the
Big Fork. To the settlers the
extension Of the Duluth, Virginia
& Rainy River road is one OF
great promise. At present the
company has two construction
crews at work day and night,

THE WHITE FRONT
Bought Stolen Goods Two Fur
OYerceats for $4.45.

The storage room to the back
of the Shamrock saloon was
broken into Monday and four fur
overcoats, one cloth overcoat and
severa. sacks of other clothing to
the value Of over 500. taken.
Johnnie Doran played detective
and in company with lChief Of
Police Bailey rounded up one Pat
Murphy, a new conner with a
putrid reputation. He was in-.
duced to squeal on himself, and
the party went to the White
Front saloon, where 1t was found
that Murphy had sold two fur
overcoats and other goods for
s$s4.45. The other goods were left
for safe keeping atother saloons,
and Mr.. Doran has recovered
nearly all, so $25 will probably
square him with the guests who
have left the sacks in his charge.
Murphy was given ninty days
4of shelter without overcoats by
Judge Martin. The White Front.
1is out S4.45 by the deal, which is
hardly penalty enough for re-
ceiving stolen goods. Bemidji is
indeed getting tough when it
protects joints that make even
Depravity Hill blush.

ONE ON CASS LAKE
Supply Company Says There Is.
No n. R. Station There.

Alderman Jackson, a jolly good
fellow and prospective mayor Of
Cass Lake, while here last week
got into an argument with Hap
pyn Anderson over the relative
merits Of his town and Bemidji.
He pointed to the mill hands who
drew SIS, 900 pay each month,
and Happy pointed to a Bemidji
store that sold that much goods
per month. Mr.. J. boasted OF a
railroad division, and Happy re-
marked that Cass Lake would be.
as well off without it, no passen
gers getting on or off there. This
wound up the discussion, but the
next day the visitor returned and
exhibited-a letter, just received.
Z : x 4 80 II
Happy thought this must be ar.
gument in favor of our rival city,
and got ready to wilt. But he
was pleasantly mistaken. Mr..
jackson, it seems, had ordered
some hardware from an eastern
firm, but not receiving the goods,
had complained to them. They
answered him as follows
Dear Sir: The goods were ship
ped to you a month ago. We
think you will find them at Be
midi, where we were obliged to
ship them as THERE is NO RAIL-
WAY STATION AT CAsS LAKE!

pfeStoent Roosevelt.
Washington, Oct. 1~5.-According to
appointment made Saturday Sr
Michael Herbert, the new British am.
bassador, was presented to the prest
dent yesterday by Secretary Hay. The
presentation took place at what Is
called the temporary White House on
Jackson Place, and this was probably
the first occasion since the White
House has been occupied as the presi.
dental mansion that the credentials q
an ambassador or minister have been
received outside its doors. The pre-
sentatiOn was made in the usual form,
with the important exception that the
president, though rapidly progressing
toward recovery, needed his physi
clans warning, remaining seated. The
ceremony was brief, consisting in the
presentation of the new ambassador
by Secretary Hay, delivery by the am
bassador of his credentials and 1
feicitiOus speech by the ambassador
expressive of the pleasure it gave him
to return to Washington and an ap
propriate response from the president
That was all of the ceremony, and
when it was over Sir Michael, who IS
a long time friend of the president
their acquaintance dating back more
than ten years, accepted Mr.. Roose
yeltis invitation to be seated, and tho
two had a long personal chat.
