SULTAN's BRoTHER-IN-LAw AC-
cUsED OF STEALING HIS
WIFE's JEWELS.
HE WILL GO TO ENGLAND
Claims He Is tho Victim of Turkish
Political Intrigue and That He Is
Guilty Of No Crime-Will
Write Book.
(By Associated .Press.)

Constantinople. Feb. 6--The sultan's
brother -in-law, Damad Mahmud Pasha,
has been sentenced to death. Mabmud
has long been prominent In the young
Turkish movement and was recently ex-
PEELED from Greece at the behest Of tho
sultan.
Mahmud went to Rome and the sultan
requested his expulsion from Italy 1t
was refused, but Malanud proceeded to
Paris, where he remains In safety.
All the sultan's Establishments failed to
induce him to return to Constantinople
ana the criminal court was instructed
to issue warrant for Mahmuds arrest
and to try the fugitive by default with
the result that he was condemned to
death.
He Took the Jewels.
A dispatch to the Associated Press
from Constantlnople dated December IS,
1899, announced that tho flight of the
sultan's brother-in-law during the pre-
vlous week, with his wlfe's jewels and all
the money he could collect, had caused
great sensation there. He was ac-
companied by his two sons Princes
Sabaggedit and Luthfalla.
1t was ascertalned that Mahmud sailed
FOR Marseilles on steamer and the
Turkish government telegraphed to the
French minister Of foreign affairs. M.
Del Case, asking for the arrest OF the
fugitive on his arrival at Marseilles and
his return to Constantinople on the
charge that he was implicated In IA plot
to assassinate the sultan.
This accusation, however. was gener-
ally discredited and It was believed the
refugee was the victim of an intrigue.
Proclaimed an Outlaw.
A later dispatch from constantinople
| said Mahmud, who intended to stay in
Paris for some time. declared that the
charge that he had appropriated money
and accepted bribes was a calumny and
that he was being prosecuted by political
intrlguers.
Mahmud announced that he intended
to go to London and that when he
reached that city he would publish an
open letter exposing the methods and
policies of Sultan Abdul Hamd, and also
brochure entitled Turkeys Coming
Downfall" Mahmud is about 30 years
of age.
The sultan after Mahmud's flight, de-
creed the divorce OF his sister, Senlha
Sultana, in consequence OF her hus-
bands desertion.
Mahmud realized 100000 francs JUST
before his departure. but his principal
estates were confiscated and no and his
sons were officially proclaimed renegade1
and outlaws.

GOV.TAFT ANSWERS
QUESTION
SENATOR CARMACK ASKS AND
OBTAINS CONSIDERABLY USE
FUL INFORMATION.
GEN. MACARTHUR WAS RIGHT
Majority Of the People Of the Philip
pines Now Willing to Accept Peace
on Any Terms-Present System
of Raising Revenue.
GEN. MACARTHUR WAS RIGHT
(By Associated Press.l

Washington, Feb. 6.-Governor Taft
appeared before the senate committee on
the Philippines today with the intention
Of taking up the Philippine tariff bill
and of devoting his attention to the rev.
enue and tariff conditions OF the Philip
pine islands, but, before beginning with
the subject, he replied to number of
questions by Senator Carmack bearing
upon subjects heretofore covered by the
governor in his testimony before the
committee.
Mr.. Carmack quoted from the report
of General Macarthur of 1900 to the ef-
feet that there is substantial unity
among the Filipino people in their op-
position to the United States.
Replying Governor Taft said the COM
mission had not originally accepted the
generals conclusions, and that the COM
missions tour of the archipelago had
convinced them they were correct In
their conclusion.
People Want Peace.
THAT originally the people of the Phil
ippine islands were much aroused, l do
not doubt" he continued, but the OPP
position does not continue in its general
aspect. - Since the second election of
President Mckinley, the great majority
of the people Of the Philippines have
been favorable to peace and to the ac-
ceptance of the terms of the United
States, and opposition now consists only
Of guerrilla warfare with no system.
Taking up the question of the tariff,
Governor Taft explained the present sys-
tenn of taxation In the Philippines say
ing that under the decision of the SUI
preme court no duties are now being col
lected on articles going into the islands
from the United States.
The plan of the commission had been
to have no internal system of taxation
for the support of the general govern
ment of the islands.
Explains Revenue System.
Under the Spanish system, there was a
general poll tax which melted about
81, ,000 900, while the receipts from the
customs were only about $5,000000. Even
children were taxed under that system.
Under Spain, there also was a tax upon
business enterprises and that system had
been continued by the commission.
The commission had also decided to
maintain the poll tax to the extent of
81 per head on adult males, but TO apply
1t only to paying the governmental ex-
penses of the towns and the provinces
The people OF the islands had gener-
ally urged the imposition of the poll tax
as necessary to get some Of their num-
bers to work. Under the Spanish
regime the plan had been used to enforce
a sort of slavery.

Such CONSERVATIVES All

HE IS EXCEEDINGLY SORRY
Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Salt Lake, Feb. 6.--Frederick Ward.
the prominent Elk and eminent actor.
was seen this morning regarding the
trouble between the actor. James Neil,
and the b. p. o. Il. lodges of the North
west. Mr. Ward was very reticent about
making a statement.
He said: Il deeply regret the unfor-
tunate occurrence"
My information Is limited and I have
only read what the press had to say.
Il have been an Elk for over twenty
years going through the. imitation cere-
monies In 1881 and found In them moth
ing incompatible with the dignity of an
American citizen or the self respect of
a gentleman.
Since that time the ceremonies have
not materially changed. A sense of hui
NOR pervades the initiation throughout
and a man must indeed be sensitive who
having made application for membership
In lodge should act as Mr.. Neill did.
l" know the officers OF the Spokane
lodge well and know many of the men,
hers, they have one of the finest build =
'irgs and most fiourishing lodges in the
west.
II cannot conceive from the personel
OF the lodge and the respect and es-
TEEN In which Mr.. Neill is held In Spok-
ane and the northwest generally that the
Spokane lodge would do anything to
justify Mr.. Neill's course. / don't know
what occurred except In general way
and am only speaking my feelings and
convictions
II am sure the Spokane lodge would
do nothing to bring the slightest re-
proach upon themselves or the order.
The best and proper was to act Is to
let the affair alone and In speaking too
the Salt Lake lodge last night / urged
them to take no action whatever and In
looking at Mr.. keilPs faults let u.s. as
the order teaches: Write them upon
the sands where they will be washed
away by the first tide
II am exceedingly sorry that the affair
occurred.o

New SmsItsr for Jerome.

The News has it from a reliable source that Senator Clark and his associates in the Equator Mining and Smelling company will at once commence the erection of a smelter on their property on Equator hill; that the site is now being surveyed, and the machinery will be on the ground as soon as practicable. This will be good news to Jerome and the surrounding country. It means that there will be a great deal of money turned loose here, not only through the building of the smell ter, but through the transportation of smelling material to Equator hill and the hauling of the product to the railroad at Jerome. It will, of course, be some months before the Equator smelter will be in operation, and chances are that the United Verde works may be started up about the same time, and then look out for the rise of Jerome" again. The building of this smell ter, which will be on the great Je- rome copper belt. about four miles south of the town of Jerome, is pos itive evidence that the copper ore in the district is not confined within the borders of the United Verde group, and that proper de velOpment work may open up many good mines along the hills south of this camp.-Jerome News.

Labor Must Win Out

Organized labor has come to stay and the sooner the fact is recog- nized by the so called Captains of Industry the better it will be for all concerned The organized labor of to-day is not like the organized lab or of fifty years ago, says the Flor ence Tribune. The public schools of this country have filledit ranks with educated, enlightened and intelli- gent men fully as capable of compre- hending the powers and duties of government and the causes and effects of legislation as are the so called statesmen who direct the pol icies of the national government, and who are also as fully capable of organizing, directing and managing great bodies of men and vast indus trial combines as are the so-called Captains of Industry, who, in the blindness of their conceit, assume that they are the annointed of God CheieiCN bO AuAcs OppISSS anu pluh- der all mankind at will. The line of conflict has changed. It has now settled down to struggle between intelligent and organized numbers who still adhere to the doctrine that all men were created free and equal, are entitled to equal and just par ticipation in the benefits of govern ment and the fruits of their labor, on the one side. and an arrogant, insolent and constituencies pluto cracy composed of few whose wealth was acquired by question able methods, on the other side.
 In such a conflict intelligence and numbers, with justice on their side, must, eventually win, and in that event plutocracy will have occasion to regret that it pushed the conflict to a final conclusion instead of con- senting to a fair and equitable ad- iustment of the differences at the commencement thereof

Youthful Hishwaymen.

Two boys, aged about Is and IS years, held up and robbed a Jap, with whom they had been travel ing, near Antarez, a few miles west of Blackberry, last Monday morn ing. Under pretense of getting into a more comfortable car they dropped off the train while it was standing at the switch, and then failed to get on again when the train started out. They then pro- posed to the Jap that they walk to Wallapai, and while walking along the track the younger of the boys slugged the heathen with a rock, knocking him out for a few mo- ments. When he came to, the youthful robbers were going through his pockets and taking everything of value he had. Then they warned him not to tell of the occurrence, but to go with them He. fearing further violence, started back toward Blackberry, and arriving there told the story of the robbery to the agent and J. w Harris, MT. Harris at once started out after the boys and overlook them at Wal lapai. He and the section foreman searched them and found a twenty dollar piece in the shoe of the younger boy and another twenty on the person of the other, besides which they had one silver dollar each. The Jap stated that he was relieved of forty-two dollars. Sher- iii Templeman arrived on the first train and took the two offenders to jail They had a hearing the fol- lowing morning and were commit ted to await the grand jury's ac- ton. They do not deny the crime. but say it was their first offense. and that they were broke at the time. The Jap has a badly bruised and swollen face and was suffering a good deal of pain from the rough treatment given him.-Kingman Miner.
