eoNYNeE ON SUGAR TARIFF.
Colorado Representative Defends Su-
oar Beet Interests.

Washington.-In a speech of an hour
and fifteen minutes directed against
the Philippine tariff bill, Representa-
tive Bonynge Tuesday made good and
established himself as one of the lead
ing orators of the present Congress.
Good luck was with Mr.. Bonynge, for
he was called to make the opening
speech of the days session, and when
he arose to talk there was a full at
tendance Of members and the galleries
contained large audience. Mr.. Bon
ynge made fine use of these advant-
ages and held his hearers attention
throughout his address. He is one of
the few speakers in the House whose
every word can be distinctly heard to
the farthest corner of the galleries.
Mr. Bonynge's speech was good ma
tured in tone and when a long line of
members crowded around him at its
close to offer congratulations, among
them were Payne and Dalzell, whom
he had prodded vigorously, but with
good humor.
In his opening address, Mr. Bonynge
attacked the views of the house
leader, Mr.. Payne, as represented in
his first speech on the pending bill,
and characterized them as being far
lloI u ut plolt'tlNt hotlllhN-
He then reviewed Republican legis-
lation in reference to sugar and con
tended that the legislation proposed
by the present bill was not Republican
in its nature and tendencies, but Dem
ocratic. He took up the questions in
volved in the relationship of the Phil
ippines to the United States and as
serted that the present tariff bill is a
radical departure from the position
heretofore occupied. Up to this
time, he contended, the Republican
party had shown that it had the legal
power and moral right to levy a tax
| upon products coming from our insular
possessions.
He quoted from speeches made by
Dalzell and Payne on the Porto Rican
tariff measure to prove this, and urged
| the House to follow these two leaders
| when they enunciated Republican doc
| trine, and forsake them when they did
| not. He also quoted from the Republi-
can campaign book of 1900 in support
of the position he took in regard to
| our relationship with the Philippine
| islands.
Mr.. Bonynge then contended that the
| proposed legislation would not do the
| Filipino laborer or small plantation
owner any good, but the entire benefit
would go to the sugar trust, which, he
said, was graphically described by
| Speaker Cannon in his Porto Rican tar
| iff speech as an internal red-eyed,
bald-headed and brimstone-eating
| trust"
He undertook to show that the pass
age of this bill would be great
| menace and serious blow to beet SUI
| gar industry and cited the effect that
similar legislation had in increasing
the sugar production of Hawaii, Porto
Rico and Cuba at the expense of the
| United States.

neapoliS,

st. Paul.-The greatest hotel disas-
ter in the history of the Twin Cities
was the partial destruction by fire of
the West hotel in Minneapolis, with n
loss OF eight lives Wednesday morn
ing. Death in spectacular form held a
crowd of thousands of persons in a
thrall of fear. Daring firemen crawled
into SmOke-tilled rooms and drew from
the beds or from the floor near win
dowS senseleSS bodies of men and
women. The Minneapolis fire depart
ment lost one of its number, but made
the finest stop and the most daring
1escueS of smoke and tiame-bound
persons that the records of Minneapo-
lis fires are every likely to contain.
Following is a list of the dead:
Cept. John Berwin, of truck No. 1
fell from the fourth floor to the side

Gated in room.
Eight persons are known to have
been seriously injured, among whom
is Mrs. b. ID. Barlow, injured while
being rescued by Captain Berwin. Her
condition is critical.

Sentences COMMITTED.

Denver.-At a meeting of the State
Board of Pardons in Denver last week
three sentences were commuted.
The sentence of Walter McWilliams,
who was sent to the penitentiary from
Denver December II, 1908, was COM
muted to from five two two years. This
releases him from the institution i'm
mediately. He was convicted of forg-
ing and passing check for $500.
The sentence Of Garfield Schneider,
convicted Of assault to kill in Denver
May 9, 1903, was committed from
term of five to ten years to three and
one-half to ten years.
The sentence of John Peak, who was
originally sentenced to from six to ten
years, was committed to three and
one-half to ten years. He was con
pvicted of criminal assault and the ar
-gument made in his favor was by for
MGR State Senator Drake.

Warning to Owners of Range AMI
mails.

Denver.-Complaints are beginning
to come to the State Board of Child
and Animal Protection about horses
snowbound and starving in the noun
tains in the southwestern part of the
state. Their owners have not rounded
them up and got them down into the
valleys where they can get feed and
care. Last year many animals were
left to starve and die because it re-
quired some efforts of their owners
to get them out. This year when it
becomes necessary for the Board of
Child and Animal Protection to gather
and feed stock SO neglected the owner
will be prosecuted as we'll.
In times past owners have found it
cheap and satisfactory to wait until
officers gathered and fed their ami
mails. Then. If they survived, they
had ten days in which to come in,
pay the actual cost and take the ami
mails. If they died they would roast
the officers and refuse to pay the bill.
The board feels that the time has
gone by to do for the owner the work
he ought to do for himself and that
the vast amount of suffering the ami
mails undergo before they can be
reached and helped, if that can be
done at all. may better be prevented
by compelling the owners to look out
for them beforehand

LINING UP ON STATEHOOD.
lnsureent Republicans Planning to
Permit Amendments.

Washington.-Op among the
the Hamilton joint statehood bill
seems to be making little headway
The leaders of the insurgents have pre-
pared a pledge for the signature of
Republicans who will vote to defeat a
rule preventing amendments to the
Hamilton bill. This was freely circu-
lated to-day among the opponents of
joint statehood and is now said to bear
forty-fve signatures.
About twenty Republican members
and the struggle to win them by the
opposing factions is waxing hot The
insurgents insist that many of their
sympathizerS have not yet had an op-
portunity to sign the pledge, and claim
that they will readily obtain more than
sixty names. Administration support
ers declare the total strength of their
opponents is not much more than
forty.
An urgent deficiency bill will be
ready for the consideration of the
House in few days and it is now ex-
pected that this will be laid before the
House after the Philippine tariff bill
has been disposed of, as the leaders
are said to be anxious to delay the
statehood bill until Speaker Cannon is
more certain how the Republican mem
bers stand on the measure.

NEW PREMIER's POLICY.
Severe Arraignment Of the Former
British Government.

London.-The election address OF
Sir Henry mpbell-Bannerman, the
premier, is wholly devoted to a severe
indictment of the late governments
record and its policy on protection and
to referring the electors to his public
declaration on assuming office for an
exposition of his governments In,
tended policy.
The premier declares that the last
decade represents well-nigh un-
broken eXpanse of mismanagement
conducted for the benefit of privileged
classes; of wars and adventures
abroad, hastily embarked upon and
recklessly pursued and that the legacy
the Unionists bequeathed to their sue.
cessors is in the main a legacy of en-
barrassment; an accumulation or pub
lie mischief and confusion absolutely
appalling in its extent and ramifica.
tions.
He declines to regard Mr.. Balfour'a
free trade tenets as having more than
a nominal place in the estimation Of
the majority of the Unionists, whose
fiscal reform policy he holds 10
fraught with incalculable mischief to
the nation and the empire.
He characterizes protection a. i'm.
moral and oppressive, based, as he
says it must be, on the exploitation Of
the community in the interest of the
favored trades and financial groups,
and declares the policy Of his govern
ment will be to hold fast to the time
honored principles of liberalism, peace,
economy, self-goyernment and civil
and religious liberty and to pursue .
substantial continuity Of the foreign
policy without departing from the
friendly and unprovocative methods
adhered to by previous Liberal admin
istrations.

SUGAR BEET RAILROAD.
Contract Let on Holly, HoIbrook G. Big
Bend Railroad.

Denyer.-A Republican special from
Holly says that contracts have been
let for the first ten miles of the Holly,
Holbrook & Big Bend railroad, which
will extend from Swink to Holly.
Work will begin by the end of this
week. Contracts let so far aggregate
over 100000.
The Holly Construction Company,
which will build the road, has abundant
capital at its disposal, and it is said
that over s1,000,00O will be spent in
building the road and equipping it. The
road Will do regular railway business
in fertile, though sparsely settled
country, which at the present time has
no railroad facilities. Traffic agree
ments have been made with the Santa
Fe company whereby cars for through
traffic will be handled on the latter's
lines
1t is the intention of the Holly Con
struction Company to use the road pri-
marily for connecting the beet sugar
factories of the Holly company and
Transporting beets to them. The new
road will probably bring 10000 acres
of land within shipping distance, and
the farmers are giving it free right
of way. Contracts for more than H.,
900 acres of beets have been signed
for the Swink factory, now under con
struction.
The Big Bend Telephone Company is
preparing to extend it's lines to Holly,
along the line of the new road. The
price of land in the Holly country has
been raised $25 an acre. Even at this
increase, more than 500 acres of land
are being sold every week.

Death of President Harper.

Chicago-Dr. William Rainey Har.
per, president of the University of
Chicago since its inception, died We'd
nesday of cancer of the intestines,
Three years ago DR.. Harper under
went an operation for appendicitis,
and symptoms were then discovered
which led the surgeons to suspect that
graver troubles might arise in the fu-
ture. An operation February %, 1905,
showed the real nature of the disease.
DR.. Harper was one of the worlds
greatest authorities on Hebrew and
Sanskrit. In his administration OF the
university he showed himself not only
an organizer of high ability in educa-
tional work, but was most attractive
and inspiring teacher. AS a man he
was personally. popular with all with
whom he came in contact and few men
who have lived in this city have en-
goyed larger circle of warm friends
and admirers.

Denver.-Originating from a defect
in the choke coils, fire started at s
O'Clock Saturday night in the plant of
the Lacombe Electric Company, West
Thirteenth and South First avenue,
destroying large part of the property.
The dynamos and switch board, pur-
chased less than six years ago, and
said to be the most modern in the
West, were damaged by fire and
water, and it is thought are beyond
repair. The loss. as estimated by
Manager o. B. Kohl, is 100000, two
thirds of which is covered by insur-
ance in three different companies
The city had an option on the plant
Five years ago. when the city granted
the Lacombe Electric Company fran
chise, the contract provided that the
city could take the plant over at its
option at the expiration of the first
year for 100000. and that each sue
ceeding year it could be taken over

Bell Identifies Orchard.

Boise, Idaho.-Sheriff Bell Of Teller
county, Colorado, stated here Monday
that he recognized Harry Orchard. the
man suspected Of the murder Of ex
Governor Steunenberg, as the same
man who is wanted in Colorado for the
blowing up of the Independence depot
At Cripple Creek.
The officer with him likewise recog
nized the prisoner absolutely. Sheriff
Bell said further that. though he had
come here with requisition for Or
chard, ne had found after looking over
the case of the state against him for
the Steunenberg murder, that 1t was
not likely that Colorado would get hold
of him at this time. He feels certain
he will be held and is prepared to &c
back home. but will remain until ae
ter the preliminary examination.

EST CHARITABLE INSTITUTION.

Patients in Denver County Hos
pital-SmaI Per Capita Expense.

pltal-Small Per capita Expense.
Denver.-With insanity on the in
crease in Colorado, the State Insane
ity, sixty insane women waiting in the
Denver County Hospital for accommo-
dations at Pueblo, and every county in
the state puzzling over the problem OF
the care of it's own citizens who are
mentally unbalanced, DIR. A. P. Busey,
superintendent of the Colorado asylum,
in his annual report strongly urges
definite consideration of the situation.
Some person has said Colorado
coulu not take steps at this time to
make further provision for the insane"
says DR.. Busey. Il would like to know
what more worthy cause or what
greater charity Colorado has than the
insane upon which to bestow care and
protection.
Many Of these people have been
good citizens and taxpayers, and now
that they are helpless and defenseless
they are entitled to asylum and protec-
ton, and should not longer be kept
in almshouses, jails and other unfit
places of abode.
"All friends of the insane should
ulSc upoH lne ucAI lHt
portance of making some provision for
these unfortunate people, as other
states do. The time to successfully
treat the insane is Immediately after
the attack begins, and this cannot be
done if some place is not provided
where they can be taken. One reason
to-day why Colorado has SO many
hopeless, incurable insane is because
they have been confined in jails and
poorhouses awaiting admission to the
overcrowded insane asylum, until
their cases have become chronic and
incurable before they could obtain
treatment. This is an injustice to the
insane. and inasmuch as the state has
these wards, it should have institutions
in which to treat them"
There are at present in the institu-
ton at Pueblo 759 patients, OF whom
277 are women and 4S2 men. During
the year the total number treated was
901. New accommodations were made
last year for 800 additional patients,
and these are almost all filled.
1.-The number of insane persons is
rapidly increasing throughout the
state" the superintendent declares,
land more additions will have to be
provided or a new asylum built. There
are SlAly WOMEN HOW III lne Denver
County Hospital awaiting admission"
The financial condition of the insti-
tuition, DR.. Busey says, is excellent.
With the legislative appropriation of
$4,000, and the 18th mill from the
tax levy, he believes the bien-
nial period will be ended without debt.
Some interesting figures are given
regarding the cost of caring for the in
sane of Colorado. The monthly aver
age of expenditures for wages, main
tenance, etc, for the year just closed
was $6,144.56, or daily per capita ex-
pense of less than sc cents. Even with
the improvements that were made last
year the per capita expense is esti-
mated at but Al cents. This is consid-
cred a remarkable showing, which DR..
Busey says cannot be improved upon
by any insane asylum in the country.

RUSSIAN HEROES
STOPPED DYNAMITE TRAIN AND
PREVENTED DISASTER.
REVOLUTIONISTS ARE ACTIVE
Premier Witte Will Not Relax Order
Against Political Meetinss-Serious
Revolution in Trans-Caucasia -
Tiflis Pundered.


st. Petersburg-Pr Witte on
Wednesday made an interesting state
ment to a delegation headed by the
mayor of this city which requested
the relaxation of the orders of the pre-
feet of police against meetings in the
interest of the electoral campaign The
premier could not promise to do any
thing until after January 22d
Recounting a remarkable incident
that heretofore had escaped notice, the
premier said
AT one time all the stations except
the Nicholas depot were in the hands
of the revolutionists. The latter in
desperation started a train hauling two
cars loaded with dynamite at full
speed for the station, with the inten-
tion of Blowing it up.
"A frightful disaster was averted by
a timely warning of the plot, which en-
abled the authorities to have military
train with steam up ready on a paral-
lei track. AS the dynamite train ar
rived soldiers from the military train
running alongside fired at the end and
managed to pierce the boiler of the To-
comotive, stopping the train before it
reached its destination"
In st. Petersburg, the premier fur
ther remarked, enough dynamite had
been captured to destroy the entire
city.
1t is rumored that the revolutionists
are keeping a list of land owners who
have fled or are fleeing abroad, with
the intention, if the revolution is sue
cessful of confiscating their estates.
The news from Trans Caucasia is
that complete revolution prevails in
Mingrelia and Georgia. The viceroy
is Withdrawing all the troops attain
able north of Vladikavkaz for service
in the revolutionary territory.
An additional guard of 500 men has
been stationed on the Finnish frontier
to prevent the importation of arms into
Russia.
The Ruskoe Slovo prints telegram
from AleXandrovsk, South Russia, say
ing that the railroad station at Sebas-
topol, which was in the hands of the
revolutionists, has been the scene of
desperate fighting between them and
the Cossacaks.
The station finally was cleared, with
the loss of 300 men.
The plurdering of Tiflis continues.

men killed and four wounded, received
reinforcements later and surrounded
the revoutionists. No quarter was
given and the revolutionists, number
