CECIL RHODES ARDENTLY ADVOCATES AMERICAN IMPERIALISM The Caesar of South Africa Wants the United States tokFollow His Lead.

The sub- | stance of the conversation is repro- duced without. absolute wverbal ac- | curacy. | Mr. Rhodes expressed admiration of | the work already done in Cuba and pre- dicted that it would be carried on iIn the Philippines. The United States he considered one of the nations best | equipped for colonization and repeated- “You are taking to it like moth- er’s milk, apparently with the great- | est delight.” He inquired what were the argu-| ments of the opponents of imperialism in the United States, and commented that they seemed to be animated by the duty of civilized nations to take charge of the barbarians and give | them a white man's government,” he said. “The United States is one of the great powers and cannot escape this | duty.” | He did not believe that the United | States would ever withdraw fits | authority from Cuba, and thought the | manner in which Spain had been evicted from her colonies and the taken possession | America’'s action in the Philip- most businesslike. compensating Spain for pines surprised him. “I would have bundled the Spaniards | out and made them pay a war indemnity,” was his comment.

After the wound had been dressed, chatting quietly with Dr. Mazzoni, the Pope smilingly said: “I want you to cure me without any pain and in two days.” ! The surgeon replied in the same spirit: “Your Holiness must not ex- pect me to perfcrm miracles The Pope for the present will partake only of liquid nourishment, such as soup, raw eggs and watered wine. The doctors pesitively deny that there is any dysentery or danger of blood poi- soning. Dr. Mazzoni to-day sald to a high personage at the Vatican who asked for confidential information on the sub- ject that if the Pope recovered, as he fully expected, there was no reason why he should mot liye for another ten years, so great is his vitality. " 7'g:30 p. m.—The Pope is very cheerful, and in an interested way asked the doc- tors from time to time what they thought of his condition. They reas- sured him. There has, however, been a slight increase in his temperature, to which the doctors attach some import- ance, although hoping it is only due to the nourishment he has taken. Dr. Lapponi remained in attendance at the Vatican all night. CONSOLIDATION OF ALL SMELTERS AND REFINERS One of the Most Gigantic Trusts in the United States Has Been Arranged. ‘PITTSBURG, March 2—Tht Post to- morrow will say: One of the most gigan- “tic combinations yet attempted by com- mercial organizations in the Unlted States was completeed to-day over the wires be- tween New York and Pittsburg. It is a consolidation of all_the smelters and refiners of precious metals in the United Stats. The final move was the pirchase of the works of the Pennsylvania Lead Company of Pittsburg and the Peinsyl- vania Smelting Works of Salt Lake City, " THE ELEPHANT: — iy “THANK GOODNESS, 'M RID OF THAT LOAD.

I was arrested and imprisoned. In the course of the trial, in wh%ch Burns’ only defense was an attempt to fasten the crimes of which he was accused on a deputy who had been selected by him for his proficiency in political and other roguery, Burns admitted that he had deliberately falsified the books of his office to cover up the in his accounts.

He he will force the Republican members into a caucus or he will prevent the election of a United States Senator. In the presence of his supporters he an- | nounced-that he was in the fight to stay | until a Republican caucus should select some other candidate. His supporters | then formally pledged themselves to | vote for him until a Republican caucus | shall select another man. To put it in plain terms Burns and his supporters took a solemn pledge that they would prevent the election of a United States Senator unless the Re- publican members of the Legislature agreed to go into a caucus. In other words Burns and his men have de- clared that unless their orders are car- ried out they will wreck the Republican | party and rob the State of California ot a.representative in the upper house of Congress. Here is Burns® declaration: “Now, I am in this fight and I shall stay until the majority of the Repub- Iicans in caucus shall select some other candidate.” Here is the pledge taken by all of the twenty-seven legislators who are now voting for Burns for Senator: “Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to vote for Colonel D. M. Burns for United States Senator to succeed Hon. Stephen M. White until by a majority vote of a caucus of the Republican members a Senator shall be nom- inated.” Heretofore Burns has ruled his sup- porters with the iron hand of a master and they have obeyed every order with the blind faith of slaves. But recently there have been murmurs of discontent and threats of insurrection, and realiz- ing the danger impending Burns was forced to call his men together for the first time since the beginning of the session and make known his wishes by word of mouth instead of through the medium of his lieutenants. It was an cn the part of Burns, but it had to be done in order to enable him to stem the growing tide of discontent and make it possible for him to carry out his threat to prevent the election of a Senator in case the Legislature refused to elect him. The caucus was held immediately af- ter the adjournment of the joint As- sembly at 12:30 o'clock. It was called hurriedly and apparently because of a fear that there would be a break from the Burns column, for word was sent in to Assemblyman Dibble. and he in | turn made a personal appeal to the Grant and Barnes leaders on the floor not to force a second ballot. Word was then circulated among the Burns followers to meet their chief in caucus in the Supreme Court room immediate- ly after adjournment. Word was also sent to Major Frank McLaughlin, who was downtown, to come to the Capitol immediately and attend the caucus. Twenty-seven legislators, Burns’ full voting strength, assembled at the designated place in response to the summons. Short addresses were made by As- gemblymen Johnson, Dibble and Cobb. and Senators Shortridge, Wolfe and Simpson, and Major McLaughlin, in which all lauded the lovely character and high purpose of their chief. They urged all of his supporters to stand firm and turn a deaf ear to the lving attacks of the newspapers, for by do- ling so they would be performing a
