Would Protect Philippines.

A report sumbitted by the Joint
army and naval board OF which Ad
miral Dewey is the senior member
relative to fortifcations for the Philip
pines. transmitted to the House by
Secretaries Root and Moody. says;
"The policy of Congress may be as
sumed to be to hold the Philippines
an American possession as against any
foreign enemy. but although the islands
have been in our possession now more
than five years. not a gun has been
mounted nor an earthwork raised to
protect any of our harbors."
The board. II is stated. is unanimous
ly of the opinion:
That without fortified naval base
in the Philippines the Asiatic feet can.
not keep open the lines of communica-
ton for supplies from the United
States or between the army posts
within the Philippines. without which
supplies the military forces OF the
United States could not hold command
of the islands
That Manila is not but that Subig
bay is. suited for a naval station. and
ot all harbors in the archipelago IL Is
the best for the purpose.
That the fortification OF Subig bay
is essential to the security for naval
station located there.
That a fortified naval base on Su-
big bay will contribute materially to
the defense OF Manila bay"

SENATOR WARREN ADDRESSES
CONVENTION OF WOOL GROWERS

agree. In the matter of protection by
means of tariff for both. there should
be no differences. In the legislation
last made upon the subject, and in con-
sidering dangers by way of legislation
or through treaties offered since, Goth
associations have been unit.
In the matter of range difficulties.
there is nothing needed by the wool
grower that should be antagonized by
the wool manufacturer.
"One matter in which there is an ap-
parent difference of opinion is in the
prevention of alleged fraudulent sales
of wooden goods. The wool manufac-
turers. while not taking open issue. are
yet known to be fearful that the pro-
posed 'shoddy bill' might infiict hard
ships, and. perhaps impossibilities upon
the manufacturer, without, as they
think. reaching the desired remedy.
We are reasonably certain that the
present protective tariff legislation will
not be disturbed. and therefore we ap-
prehend no violent or sudden change in
the industry With comparative free
dom from apprehension on this score.
we have time and inclination to seek
better methods of preparing the wool
for market and more satisfactory meth
DDS of marketing-in fact, we enter the
year 1904 in condition and with senti-
ment to improve and build up and
make permanently prosperous this
great industry"

presided, and the business of the con-
ventlon was inaugurated with the read
ing of his annual address, in which he
said:
THE changes since 1865 in the wool
growing industry have brought about
many new problems. Among them is
the adaptation of the industry to the
public land laws, with view to foster

In forest reservation matters there
has been friction. and the patience of
fiockmasters has been sorely tried. But
there is a prospect of forestry matters
being consolidated in the Department Of
Agriculture and for a satisfactory adjust

have heretofore attended forestry ad-
ministration.
"The interests of the wool growers
and wool manufacturers are in the main

ONLY ONE NEGRO IN HEAVEN.

None Other Can Go There, Says Leader
in Mormon Church.
Only one negro has ever entered
heaven, and the gates Of heaven are
closed against members of the black
race. This Is the latest doctrine pro-
mulgated by the Mormon Church.
The announcement was made last
Sunday at the funeral services Of Eu-
gene Burns, one of the most prominent
colored men in Utah. The Rev. D. A.
Brown, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, had just finished his sermon
eulogizing the dead negro, when Pat
riarch Miner, president Of one Of the
quorums of the Seventies of the Nor
mon Church, walked up to the pulpit
ers, began highly sensational dis.
| course.
He declared that the dead man
could not enter heaven. He said that
an Ethiopian could not reach the state
Of exaltation necessary to entrance
| into heaven. His soul was doomed be-
| fore his birth.
Eugene Burns was a grandson OF
Abel Burns, the body servant OF Jo-
seph Smith, the prophet of the Nor
mon Church. Abel, according to Pat
riarch Miner, is the only one of his
race who ever succeeded in gaining
into heaven. The reason he was sue
cessful was his fidelity to Joseph
Smith, the prophet
For the colored race said Patr1-
arch Miner, there Is an exalted state
In the next world into which they
NAV 20. Provision has been made IN
the teachings Of the Prophet Joseph 50
that the negro may step up into that
preliminary state of exaltation, and
when he gets there chance is given
him to accept redemption according TO
the teachings of Joseph Smith"
Mr.. Brown Immediately arose ana
declared that no such teachings exist
ed In the Bible In REPUTATION OF the
assertions of the patriarch he read
several selections from the Bible, cit
ing instances where men with black
skins had been saved.

American capital will be used to
open up large areas of undeveloped

way in New York, succeeds in its at
tempt. Apparently, the plan is to start
factories for making agricultural ma
chinery and to introduce extensive 1rri-
