LICKING HELPED SPAIN.
New Spanish Minister to Washington
Says His Counery's Defeat by
U. S. Proved a Blessing.

"Mv mission to the United States
is to help cement new ties of friend
ship" said Senor Don Ramon Pima,
the new Spanish minister, who arriv-
ed in Washington Friday. Il have not
come here to remind the American
government that it defeated us IN a
conflict, but l have come here on
mission to help both countries live
down the unpleasant past"
When his attention was called to a
recent communication Admiral Dewey
ada, esscd to correspondent, IN
which the hero of Manila Bay SAID
that that he had won his victory over
the Spanish feet by divine aid,' Sc
nor Pima said:
. please do rot consider me irrev-
erent, but if Admira! Dewey won his
victory over the feet OF our navy III
Manila Bay by divine aid,' l think
it must have been the god OF war
the aid that iron gave him in con-
auering wood
Senor Pima says his country has
prospered greatly since the war, and
intimated that defeat by America real
" developed in a benefit to it, rather
than a disadvantage.
1T caused the people to awake to
the realization, he said, "that they
must be up and doing to keep pace
with the times, particularly with
American progress, and following this
both political and commercial chang
es have greatly improved"
Senor Pima was presented to Sec
retary Root Saturday and warmly
welcomed. His presentation to the
president will be delayed for some
time because of the illness of the pres
ident's son, Archie.

1--WE ARE BEING RUINED"
Is Plant of Railroad Magnates cf the
Ccuntry-They Send Morgan for
Conference with Roosevelt.

J. PlerDGnt Morgan, inc NE" " ~
inaucier, arrived in Washington n
his private car Monday night, aiG
went Immediately to the White House,
where he was in conference with
President Roosevelt for more than
two hours. The object OF Mr.. Nor,
cans visit was to urge the presl-
dent to take some Sction to ''allay
the public anxiety now threatening
to obstruct railroad investments and
construction.
Mr.. Morgan pointed out to the pres
ident that the financial interests OF
the country are greatly alarmed at
the attitude of the administration 20
ward corporations, and particularly
the railroads.
At Mr.. Morgan's earnest request
President Roosevelt has agreed TO
have a conference with four leading
railroad presidents, Messrs. McCrea,
Of the Pennsylvania; Newman, OF the
New York Central; Mellen, of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford;
and Hughitt, of the Chicago and
Northwestern, to determine II some
agreement can be reached as to the
relations between the railroads AMI
the administration. 1t is probable
that E. H. Hartman: head OF the
Hartman lines, may also participate
in the conference, which, it is un,
derstood, will .ahe place at the White
House.
After boarding his train shortly di'
ter midnight to return to New York
Mr. Morsan dictated the following
statement:
AT the request Of many business
men, before leaving for Europe,
came to Washington to see the preal'
dent to discuss the present business
situation, particularly as affecting the
railroads. l suggested to the presl
dent that it would be greatly in the
public interest if he would see/ M:
McCrea, MI. Newman, Mr.. Mellen and
MI. Hughitt and confer with them rs
tc what steps might be taken to allay
the public anxiety as to the relations
between the railroads and the gov
e,n,aent. The president said he would
be glad to see the gentlemen name1
with this end in view"
F.. F. Yoakunl, chairman OF the
hSard of directors of the Chicago
Rock Island and Pacific railroad, also
had an interview Monday with Presl
.iert Roosevelt and members OF the
interstate commerce commission re
sa-ding the railroad situation. He toic
| President Roosevelt that the aglta
ton and legislation in various state:
regarding two cent fares and the re
ducticn in freight rates have hal
the effect of making it almost lHs
nossible for the railroads to nego
tiate loans on their securities and ne
declared 'the railroad lien are Will
ing that the supervision Of the rail

That" he added, "would restore
confidence and give the people &c

FAKE PROPHET OEfUNCT.
Death Claims John Alexander Dowie,
Who Posed as Elijah the Third,
and Fooled Many Followers.

John Alexander Dowie, self-termed
Elijah III, and prophet of divine se-
lection, died Saturday at what was
once his palace in Zion City, ILL.,, Shi-
| lob House.
His death was lingering. The faith
ful prayed until the very END that he
might yet be spared. He led them
continually in their supplications until
| at last his feeble voice ceased and he
breatned his last.
About his bed stood several Of the
faithful and one or two men who have
fought him with great yigor in his
last months of life. These men re-
pented at the deathbed; they asked
for forgiveness.
Some of the faithful asked him Il
he would permit physician TO attend
him, in the hope that the life might
be prolonged.
mo, my dear friends God is calling
me 70 Him. l am going to my reward
Call the faithful about me that they
may see the end
Word was sent to DR.. Gladstone
Dowie, the son, and his mother, the
other two of the family. In the hour
following the struggle they had de-
serted him. g
To the last moment Dowie did not
asked for either of them. He had ire
ouently had words with his son.
There was no forgiveness. He died
with a feeling of anger against them

where once he stood the leader.
John Alexander Dowie, who claimed
to be the Prophet Elijah reinearnated,
general overseer of Zion City, and the
head OF the Christian Catholic Church
was born in Edinburg. Scotland IN
1a47, and went with mis- parents to:
Australia in 1860.
He first began to advance his doc
triues in Sydney. While preaching on
street corners he became SO bolster
Gus and obnoxious that he was ar
rested and put in jail.
He was actually driven out OF Aus:
tra!ia, and landed in San Franctsco
in 1885. Finally, in 1892, he thought
it best and safest to move again, aad
went to Chicago.
In spite Of his previous moves
Dowie had done well Financially. He
always took excellent care OF that
end OF his religion, and he was preS
pared to make great battle in Chi
! keago. 1t was in Chicago that success
began to come to him.
The downfall of Dowie may be said
to date from October, 1903, when he,
with the hosts of Zion, invaded New:
York.
New York would not take GoHlei Sc.
riorxly. The little red-faced fat man..
hopping about on a platform, clad IN
| gaudy robes, was taken as joke and;
mis- audiences laughed at him. The
blow to Dowie's vanity was severe.
one, and after dismal campaigns,
he gave up the fight and returned
to Zion.
The next scheme of the Prophet
was "New Zion" to be located in
Mexico. He sought TO establish g !
branch of the 'Christian Catholic
Church" there, but Mexico would
have none of him. The tide had set
against him. s35
Then Zion arose and asserted, It's,
independence. 'The Prophet was;
hurled from power and Overseer Voli-
va was put in charge of the city, its:
resources and it's immense debt, to
save what he could for the people. &
