TAFT's CHURCH DEAL.
He Tells Of Purchase Of Friars' Lands
in the Philippines.

He Tells Of Purchase of Friars' Lands
in the Philippines.
The st. Paul Dispatch prints CORE
spondence which passed between the
Rev. Angus Larsen, pastor of the Swed-
ish Baptist church of st. Paul, Mimi,
and Judge William H. Taft, as to Judge
Taft s attitude toward the Catholic
church in the Philippines. Judge Taft IS
reply to Mr.. Larsen IS inquiry is dated
October 8, and is in part as follows:
My Dear Sir: have your letter of
September 20. You ask me whether
100000 were paid to the aCtholic
church out of the United States treas
ury on my recommendation. / reply
that it was not. The friars agricul-
tural lands in the Philippines-42O,O 900
acres, or about that amount-were pur.
chased from the corporation formed by
the three orders of the friars in tn i,
Philippines, and the money was paid
from bonds issued by the Philippine
government on the authority of con
gress and is charge upon the Philip
pine islands. The purchase was ap-
proved by the Filipinos.
In a speech in New York did not
make plea for the Roman Catholic
church in the Philippines, except to
say this: "That the influence of all
the churches in the Philippines was
necessary for the uplifting of the peo-
pie and therefore that every one would
desire the prosperity of all the churches
and that as the Roman Catholic church
had the largest following, every one,
Professionals or Catholics, would desire
its prosperity; that it was in a de-
| plorable condition, due to the change
from a situation in which the govern
ment paid its expenses, to one in which
it was bound to look to its parish
toner's for support, the latter being in
the habit of deriving benefit from the
churches and not contributing to it. , -
Judge Taft says that the present
governor is a Roman Catholic, but he
is one of the most careful men in leg.
islation and an impartial man. He
said the purchase of the friar lands
with their 10000 tenants, was a politi-
cal necessity and averted second rev.
olution.
Judge Taft adds: "I am not a Cath.
Ole and have not been affiliated with
the Catholic church. All I have at
tempted to do was to do justice to
that church and to the Filipino peo-
pie. I have treated that church ex-
aetly as 1 would have treated any
other church.

WAS. IT 1NoEND1ARY F1REq
Flames in Red Lodge Coal Mine Be
heved Started From Pile of
Lena

Butte, Mont.-The origin of the fire
in the East Side mine of the North
western Improvement company at Red
Lodge is attributed to the work of in
cendiaries. When the flames were first
discovered they were observed issuing
from a pile of logs which, apparently,
had just been placed in the slope.
When Assistant Superintendent Hag-
gerty became incapacitated last night
General Superintendent G. G. Anderson
jumped into a "skip" and went to the
bottom of the mine, where the fire
was the thickest, and directed the
work of rescue. The men were found
in pitiable condition, strewn along
the tracks, some with their faces down
and others crouched in the small
chambers and almost overcome by the
smoke and heat. 1t is due to Superin-
tendent Anderson IS heroic efforts that
so many lives were saved.
The six men who were entombed ap-
parently became confused in their mad
dash for liberty and got beyond the
range of the rescuers. They failed to
locate the shaft, through which more
than 100 miners made their escape
When the flames first broke out there
must have been so or more persons in
stope No. 2, whose lives were saved by
reversing the air currents, thus driving
the deadly fumes in the opposite di
rection.
The fire is still burning in the mine
timbers in No. 2 stope. No. 2 airway
has caved in, and even in the event
that the bodies of the six entombed
men have not been incinerated weeks
must elapse before they can be recov
cred. 1t will require weeks to retim
Der the stope, which is the main en-
try to the East Side mine.
Of the half hundred miners who
were carried out of the mine OF
stretchers all are recovering.

Carnegie FavOrs Tariff Reduction.

A notable article from Andrew Car.
negie, dealing with the tariff, will ap.
pear in the forthcoming December mum
Der of the Century magazine. The iron
master takes the position that "infant
industries" no longer need protection
that the steel and other industries have
now grown beyond the need of tariff
protection; that duties on luxuries used
by the rich should be maintained, but
that those on manufactured articles
should be reduced greatly or abolished
entirely when no longer needed.

SPOKANE THEATER ATTRACTIONS
NINE. LILLIAN NORDICA.
Worlds Greatest Singer.

Some knowledge of the busy life of
Nine Lillian Nordica, who is to appear
in Wagnerian opera selections at the
Spokane Saturday evening of this
week, may be gained from a study of
her repertoire, list of which indi-
Gates that she has learned and sung not
only, but sometimes two, roles in the
same opera, memorizing the text in
French, Italian and German, according
to the demands of the cast presenting
it. The operas in which she has
achieved success number thirty-one,
and while her fame, perhaps, rests
largely upon her success in Wagnerian
opera, her Carmen and Juliette, her
Aida, her Marguerite and her Lucia
are scarcely less famous than her i'm.
presentations of the wonderful women
of Wagner.
In reference to her Wagnerian roles
it is interesting to note that Anton
Seidl, whose death was such serious
loss to art, was the first to encourage
the singers aspirations in this direc
ton. He had full faith in the outcome
of her high ideals and assisted hel
geratly in directing her studies.
Remember the date-Saturday even

ported by her own company in selec
