Years that IRE gone and past away.

When You loved me and | loved YOU;

TO hold in thrall chord To bring.

When | loved you and You loved me:
If old acquaintance YOU forget.
Or if that string be perfect vet.
| pray You send an answer true.
Do You low" me Ms | love YOU;
Or have tn" cavcrnS of your heart
Closed tight their doors to nc'cr impart.
The gladdcnng words that held me true
Gou then loved mo and loved you:
But oh. the marks that time has left.
With cruel hands and frosted breath,
Has touched the face once thought
true.
When YOU loved me and loved YOU
] now will drop this golden pen,
And leave these lines to younger mon:
Vet laundering through my palsicd
brain.
The dear old words come back again,
With sweetest smiles and words so tru"
If you'll love me I'll love you.

Senators have determined upon pro-
gram for the remainder of the session,
which provides that the Philippine tariff
bill. the isthmian canal bill, the Philip
pine government BILL the subsidy bill,
and the Cuban reciprocity bill shall be
considered in the order named.
Senator CullOm recently delivered a
speech setting forth his views in regard
to the treaty making powers of the Sen
ate and the Executive in which he
claimed that the provision in the Dinglry
bill relating to treaties was unconStitu-
tional because it had IL tendency to limit
the powers conferred on the Senate by
the constitution. An attempt was made
by Mr.. Richardson's the Democratic
leader in the House. to make trouble be-
tween the Senate and the House in re-
gard to this matter by the appointment
of committee to investigate the powers
of the Senate, but the superior Judgment
of the Republican leaders prevailed.
The Ways and Means Committee has
determined upon the abolition of the
special war taxes and the Democratic
press has been induStrously engaged in
an attempt to place the members of the
Committee in II wrong light before the
people. When asked for an interview on
the subject. Chairman Payne handed to
your correspondent statement which
is too long for reproduction here. but
which says, in part. that the committee
had no thought of dispoSing Of the Cuban
question by reporting in favor of the re-
ducton of the war taxes, that the com
mittcc had had no conference on the
Cuban matter and that "the bill to re-
duce war revenue taxes was taken up
because it was the sentiment of the com
mittcc that the burdens resting upon our
own people should be lightcncd before we
turned our attention to tightening the
burden of other people" Mr. Payne
further assures me that the Cuban mat
ter will receive full and careful conSid-

that it will be considered at an early

friars themselves from the Philippines the
papers will be signed by Governor Taft

important matter, is unable to accept the
terms proffered, or If il is not prepared

tions will be suspended
a high official of the government makes

his reply 10 the Vatican: In seek

cure the peaceful removal OF the friars Of
the four orders from the Philippine islands
it must be borne in mind that the Amer
lean representatives in the Philippine
islands merely have been endeavoring
faithfully TO carry out the wishes of the
people, for which they feel themselves pc
culiarly bound TO stand. 1t must always

they will not permit them TO come back
to the parishes and, as a matter of fact.
hold their lands in hostile possession. One
of the avowed objects of the Instruction
airy government under Aguinaldo was to
confiscate the friars lands without any
compensation to the church. The United
States authorities, recognizing the intensity
and bitterness of this feeling among the
Filipinos and at the same time being de-
srous Of acting with the most scrupulous
fairness toward the church were willing TO
arrange for the purchase OF the church
lands by the government. If the church au-
thorities would withdraw the friars (who
are not now and for years have not been
performing their religious functions among
the people) and would replace them by
other members Of the church who might
take up with greater success the highly
necessary religious work which they are
no longer able to perform"

PARK CITY, Utah, July 16.-Thirty- five
miners were killed in the Daly-West and
Ontario mines to-day-twenty-n in the
Daly-West and six in the Ontario.
Following is a list of the casualties, all
the victims being single men except those
designated as married:

ried, William Wevill, Stephen Barratta,
Chris p. Saderup. married, w. f. Thomas.
The disaster was the result of an explo-
sion Occasioned by John Burhy, miner,
going into one of the magazines of the
Daly-West with a lighted candle. His act
cost him his life and the lives of many
other miners besides. His own body was
blown to pieces. All of the other victims
are recognizable. their faces being easily
identified by relatives and friends.
The explosion occurred at ll:20 last night,
and in tWlnkling deadly gas was being
generated throughout the mines. 1t crept
through every tunnel. shaft and incline
and in very short space of time scores of
miners found themselves face to face with
death. 1t is not known how much powder
was exploded, but whatever amount there
was il went off in a terrible conclusion.
The shock was something terrific and was
heard for long way, although 1t was near
ly o'clock before ii was known in Park
City a distance of three miles.
When II is stated that a horse was killed
at the. mouth Of the Ontario tunnel two
miles away, some idea of the force of the
explosion may be had. The animal was in
use at the entrance to this part of the mine
and was hurled against the wall and ma
chinery with such violence as to be killed
outright. Two other horses were also killed,
the latter in the Ontario, almost as great a
distance away. That the loss of life was
not far greater than it is seems marvellous.
The work of rescuing the imperiled and
dead was quickly and heroically under
taken Men were brought to the surface
Just as fast as the disabled machinery
would permit The victims had to be
brought up the shaft in a one-compart-
ment cage, one of the compartments hav-
| ing been wrecked by the explosion.
In the Ontario which Is connected with
| the Daly-West, six men are dead. Two of
! the dead are rescuers-John Mclaughlin
| and John Eckstrom. The body of the lat
| ter is still in the mine.

BRUTAL NEGRO BURNED
SATURATED WITH OIL, TIED TO
TREE AND MATCH APPLIED.
Was Charged with Pulling a White
Girl Out of a Buggy and Break
ing Both Her Legs.

CLAYTON. Miss, July 16.-william Ody,
a negro. who tonight attempted to assault
Miss Virginia Tucker. of this place, was
burned at the stake at midnight. The as
sault was most brutal. The young lady
was out riding in the country when at
tackled, and was so violently pulled from
a buggy by the negro that both of her
lower limbs were broken
The negro was soon captured and was
held for a time in the possession of posse
of citizens. They were unable. however,
them, saturated with oil, tied to a tree and
burned. The young woman's father is re-
ported to have applied a match to the fag-
gots piled around him.
Miss Tucker was riding home in buggy
when at a lonely spot in the road the
negro hailed her with the information
that she had dropped a package. Miss
Tucker stopped her horse, and the negro
approached al though to pick up the pack
age. Ody suddenly seized the girls wrists
and dragged her violently from the vehicle,
breaking both of her legs. The young wom-
an screamed, and was found a few min
utes later by DR.. William Hit. who was
driving in the country. The negro upon
seeing the physician, took to his heels.
DR.. Hit gave the alarm and posses were
soon searching in every direction.
Just before midnight one Of the posses
came upon Ody, who tried desperately to
escape, but was captured and bound. He
was brought at once to Clayton. In the
meantime news of his capture spread in
all directions, and mobs began 10 form
and made for a central point.
The negro was brought into the presence
of Miss Tucker, who positively identified
him, although he denied that he was guilty.
Ody was taken TO a convenient spot In the
country near the scene and a bonfire built
around tree. He was told to prepare
for death and when the manner OF his
execution became apparent the wretch
begged piteously for mercy. He was bound
securely and put into the flames. and in
a short time only his charred bones marked
the place of execution.
