It gives me pleasure to -write you my opinion of the Pianola. I have heard and
played your Instrument 'often, and fake a great Interest In this Invention.
I believe the Pianola to be a good means of enabling people who -would be
otherwise shut out from music, to hear it correctly executed, and to cultivate it
very easily. This will certainly have the result of popularising good music of
giving us more educated listeners, and also probably fewer indifferent performers
I can sincerely recommend the Pianola. Yours very truly,

ED PASO, Tex., May 6. The American
and Mexican flags were entwined1 in the
decoration of the plaza where the official
greeting 'of President McKlnley and his
Cabinet took place this morning. The
presence on the stand of General Hernan
dez, personal representative of President
Diaz and the Governor of the State of
Chihuahua, gave an International signifi
cance to the event. There .'were thou
sands of Mexicans in the vast concourse
,of people to whom the President spoke,
and their enthusiasm was almost as wild
as that of -the Americans.
General Hernandes addressed the Pres
ident on behalf of his President, extend
ing the tetter's congratulations, and Pres
ident McKlnley, in his response, said:,
'Mr. Mayor, General Hernandez, Gov
ernor Abumada and my Fellow-Citizens:
For the hospitality of the people of El
Paso, which has been as delicate and con
siderate as it has been sumptuous, I beg
to return my most sincere thanks. I am
glad to be In this cosmopolitan city. I
am glad to know that assembled here
within your gates are the men of all
races, all nationalities and all creeds, but
under one flag, the glorious Stars and
Stripes (enthusiastic applause), acknowl
edging allegiance to no other government
but the United States of America and giv
ing' -willing sacrifice at any time the coun
try may call for the honor of our Nation
and the glory of our Republic (Ap
plause.) I am glad to know that this
city believes in expansion (great applause)
and that it has been doing a great deal
of Itself in the last four years (laugh
ter and applause); that it has more than
doubled its population in the last half of
the present decade, and given promise
of. still greater advancement and pros
perity in the decade now at hand. (Ap
plause.) You have here, my fellow-citizens,
the true National spirit, the spirit
of enterprise, of development, of progress,
of building the structure of liberty and
free government on the broad and deep
foundations of intelligence, -virtue, mor
ality and religion.
"This is the 'gateway to the Mexican
Republic, and I" want, in this connection,
to express my great satisfaction with the
cordial salutations tendered me by that
great and distinguished President ot our
sister republic, President Diaz. ' (Enthu

words with which he has presented the
feeling of xespect and regard of his illus
trious .President to the -Government of
'the United States (applause), and I beg
that he will convey to his President the
warm regards and the personal esteem
which I have for his chief magistrate,
which is shared by the whole American
people (applause), and my wish for still
further - prosperity and advancement
among his .people. (Applause and cries
of "Bravo!") I cannot fall also to recog
nize the cordial welcome that has been
given to me by the Governor of the neigh
boring state of the Mexican Republic. I
cannot go over there, but they can come
over here (laughter and applause), and
we bid them welcome with open hearts.
I can look over into their country (laugh
ter), but .there Is something in the tradi
tions of this Republic, something In Its
precedents, that does not permit the
President to go outside the .United States
during his term of office. (Applause.)
But as we do not hold office all the time
here (laughter), we will have an oppor
tunity or going there in the future.,
"My fellow-citizens, if there was ever any
doubt about ours being a united people, if
you could travel with me 2S00 miles from
the Capitol at Washington to the City
of El Paso, that doubt would have been
completely dispelled. (Applause.) There
never "was such unity in the United States
as there Is at this hour. (Applause.)
There was never so much for a nation
of 75,000,000 of people to be proud of as
at this hour. (Applause.) We have sent
our Army and our Navy todistant seas
and they have only added glory to our
flag. (Great applause.) They have brought
no shame upon the American name. (Ap
plause.) We sent them to China to res
cue our beleaguered representatives, and
they did the work, and did it magnifi
cently, with the approval of the civilized
world. ,- (Continued applause.) But it is
not in the art of war that we take our
greatest pride. We are not a war-like
people. We are not a military people.
We never go to war unless we have to
make peace. (Great applause.) Our pride
is In the arts of peace, in material and
intellectual development, in the growth of
our country, In the advancement of our
people in civilization, in the arts, in the
sciences and In manufactures. Here we
are on the border line between the United
States and another great republic, ,and on
this side of the line we have 35 American
soldiers, and on that side of the line there
are less than 150 Mexican soldiers. So that
we are dwelling in peace and amity and
causing 'peace on earth and good-will to
men." (Great applause.) We want to set
tle our differences, if we ever have any,
with the powers of the world by'arbltra
tion. (Applause.) We want to exhaust
every peaceable means for settlement be
fore we go to war. (Applause.) And
while we have authority to raise 100,000
troops, the necessity does not exist for
that number, and we do not propose to
raise but o.OOO. (Great applause.) So don't
be alarmed about militarism (laughter and
applause), or Imperialism (great applause).
We know no Imperialism in the United
States except the imperialism of a sov
ereign people. (Great applause.) Having
said this much. I only want to again ex
press the pleasure which all ot us feel at
having been received so cordially1 and hos
pitably by this people, and to thank you
for having given us' on Sunday as quiet
and reposeful a time as though we had
spent it at home." (Long-continued ap
plause.) Members of the Cabinet also spoke. At
the conclusion of the addresses, the party,
Including the Mexican officials, went for
a drive. The President expressed a desire
to take a look over into Mexico, and was
driven to the International hridge. There,
at the American customs office, he alighu
ed, and chatted for some time with those
around him. The old church of Guada
lupe, over 300 years of age, the Spanish
prison and other Interesting buildings in

a hot and dusty ride. The first stop in
the territory was made at Demlng, "where
the President was welcomed by Governor
Otero and his staff. There was a big
crowd and a band at the station, and the
President was .given a warm, greeting.
William Berger, president of the Nevr
Mexico Presst Associates' had met the

welcome at Deming was largely devoted
to New Mexico's claim for statehood. A

"It gives me great pleasure to meet the
people of this territory who have thronged
hither to give greeting to the President

progress you are making, the prosperity
you are enjoying, the happiness and con

to make the Territory of Arizona, and
you still have more territory twice over

"I am sure you will share with- me to

all ot us feel' for the great loss sustained
in the City of Jacksonville by the fire
that swept over that city. Thousands

heart of the .Nation goes out to the suf

Speech of an Aristocrat in Defense
of the Miners The Question of
-Asaerlcsa. Competition
x 'BrOHKht Up.1-
LONDON, May. 6. There was unusual'
animation and attendance at the House
of Commons today, when the last install
ment of the coal' resolution debate was
opened by Sir Edward Gray, Liberal, who
ever-Increasing industry as the export of
ccal could not be seriously affected by
the Imposition of a tax of a shilling: a ton.
He dismissed as highly improbable the
theory that American coal would ever be
able to compete with English.
In he division which followed there wao
much cros3 voting; John Morley voted
with the government- Several Liberals
abstained from voting, while almost all
the Conservatives representing coal coun
ties joined the opposition.
During Mr. Balfour's summing up one
of his own adherents remarked audibly:
"It is a wretched speech, but, of course,
Balfour does not know what he is talk
ing about.'
What the Miners' Federation will do re
mains to be seen. Judging from, the
speeches of the labor members during
the last stages of the debate, the federa
tion is quite likely to declare a general
strike, thus precipitating a struggle be
tween organized labor and Parliament.
Such a collision, as was said frequently
during the discussion, might prove ruin
ous to the coal industry and highly inju
rious to the country.
Mr. 'Balfour announced that the gov
ernment -will present Its long delayed edu
cation! bll In the Commons tomorrow.
The announcement caused something of a
sensation, as it had been supposed that
the government would be so much In ar
rears that it would be Impossible to deal
with education at the present session. It

JUDGE ADVOCATE-GENERAL OP THE ARMY, WHO "WILL RE-
TIRE MAY 21.
WASHINGTON, May 6. Brigadier-General Norman Guldo Lleber, Judge Ad
. vocate-General of the Army, will retire May 21, havlne reached the age limit of
64 years. General Lleber has had a very honorable-and quite a remarkable
career. In 1861 he entered the military service of the United States as First
Lieutenant, Eleventh United States Infantry. He was appointed Regimental Ad
jutant. After the second' battle cf Bull Run he was appointed aid-de-camp on
the staff of the General-in-Chief, General Halleck, being, however, immediately
ordered to report to General Banks, who was at that time commanding the. de
fenses of Washington. He was appointed a Major and Judge Advocate of Volun
teers In November, 1862, and went with General Banks to New Orleans when
the latter relieved General Butler of the command of the Department of the Gulf,
serving in this department and taking part In its principal military expeditions
until July, 18C5, when he was assigned to duty in the Bureau of Military Jus
tice, and afterward (under his father) In the Rebel Archive Office, in Washing
ton. In 1807 he became a Judge Advocate In th! regujar Army. He was assigned
to duty as Professor ot Law in the United States Military Academy in 187S, and
in the office of the Judge Advocate-General In 1882, and In 1884 was appointed
Assistant Judge Advocate-General, with the rank of Colonel. By the suspension
from duty for 12 years, under sentence of court-martial, of the then Judge Advocate-General,
General Lleber became acting Judge Advocate-General in 1884, and
served as such for 10 years, when, In 1805, the officer referred to having been
placed on the retired list, he was appointed Judge Advocate - General of the
Army, with the rank of Brigadier-General.

JJEGOTIATIONS ARE TENTATIVE.
Unofficial Memorandum Presented to
Panne efote.
WASHINGTON. May 6. It Is learned
from an authoritative source that before
Secretary Hay left here for the West he
had several conferences with Lord
Pauncefote relative to the basis for an
other isthmian canal treaty, and that an
unofficial written memorandum also was
submitted to Lord Pauncefote on the sub
ject. The Ambassador has made known
the general results of these conversations
and of tho memorandum to the authori
ties in London, and it is doubtless to this
that allusion is made In. the London dis
patches. It Is said, however that the ne
gotiations are so tentative and informal
that they are not regarded as an official
exchange or proposition. What they em
body is not made known, though It Is un
derstood they are chiefly an exposition of
the views held by United States Senators
as to the essential features which should
be included in a treaty. While this is not
a proffer of a. treaty. It conveys to the
British authorities what is considered es
sential by the Senators who control the
ratification of any treaty which- will be
made. It also Is learned indirectly from
Senators who have been consulted that
amons the chief features of the negotia
tions are a neutralizing of the canal, the
United States alone undertaking to guar
antee this neutrality, and the admission
of all shipping on an equal basis with
that of the United States. Although, as
stated, these conferences and these writ
ten memorandums have been exchanged,
it is not expected that there wilt be any
further negotiations prior to Lord Paunce
fote's departure for London, which oc
curs June 5. or during his absence. The
British Embassy will remove to Newport
as soon as the Ambassador leaves.
California Towns Decorated.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., May 6. This city,

Southern California through which the
Presidential party will pass, Is being lav

SALT LAKE, May 6, A real estate
transaction In which "Mrs. Langtry was
involved was discovered today -when a
plot of 10 acres of land, lying just below
Liberty Park, in this city, owned by ifrs.
Langtry, was disposed of to persons not
named. The property was bought by Mrs.

Drowned in Chicopee River.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass., May 6. Charles
Nelson Wrightlngton, superintendent of
the Ludlow Manufacturing Company's No,
8 mill at Ludlow, and v Foster W. Taft,
electrical engineer for the company,- were
drowned in the Chicopee River tonight
while attempting to shoot the' rapids at
Indian Leap Bock. Their ' canoe cap-
4eflned the measure as harsh and oppres
sive. The House adopted the coal tax by
a. vote of 333 to 227. Subsequently the tax
of a shilling per ton on export coal- was
adopted by a majority of 106. These fig
ures. apparently do not represent the feel
ing of the members of the House, but' the
government made the Issue strictly a par
ty one, and secured the record attendance
for this Parliament, and by vigorous ef
forts polled within a score of the normal
majority.
The galleries Vrere packed to overflow
ing. The principal figures during the last
day of the discussion were chiefly within
the Liberal ranks. Sir Edward Gray, H.
H. Asqulth, William Abraham, Liberal,
and Charles Fenwick all assailed the tax
eloquently, the last two speaking with no
little pathos and a broad accent on be
half of the miners, In whose station of
life they worked before coming to West
minster. Perhaps the most Interesting feature was
the speech of Hon. Fredrick Lambton,
brother of the Earl of Durham, who,
standing amonff the Conservatives, de
nounced the government as a "pack of
riotous hounds after a ewe lamb,"t by
which he referred to the coal industry.
He declared that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer had represented the colliers
as liars and foreigners, and he maintained
that they were "as honorable a set of
men as ever sat on the government
benches."
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach attempted- to
explain, but Mr. Lambton paid little heed.
The sleepy people who had come in Uo
hear the final stages of the debate blinked
vigorously as they heard the right of
miners to strike proclaimed by an aristp
crat, who declared that the miners were
"as good as many a man who has worn
the Victoria Cross."
Another supporter -of the government,
John Wilson, bitterly objected to the tax,
bringing up the question of American com
petition, and contending that the duty
would give the United States a chance
to cut out British coal. This started the
ball' rolling, and for some time vthe House
gave Itself up to a discussion of the rela
tive merits of "Pocahontas" and "Smoke
less Welsh," with frequent references to
America's 'growing merchant marine and I
the advantages of coal.
Mr. Balfour, in rambling style, summed
up the debate, basing his argument upon
hi -nronositioa that cuch a. creat and
Is asserted In reliable quarters that the
bill, which- fs somewhat sweeping In char
acter, will abolish the small rural school
boards and vest the control of education
in the county councils. With regard to
boroughs, the bill will give the borough
councils control in places where no
board exists, and .where school boards do
exist, these will continue to control ele
mentary education, while the borough
councils will be charged with secondary
and technical education. If this forecast
is correct, the bill will excite keen and
prolonged discussion.
The Gltlaens to Ulame.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 6. Dr. Ly--mao-Ahbottr
of Brooklyn, in his. sermon
to the Tale students, made a 3trong ar
raignment of the municipal government of
New York City, stating that New York
was the worst governed city In the coun
try, with Philadelphia a close second and
Chicago In third place. Dr. Abbott de
clared: "If gambling; places are allowed to run,
if saloons are allowed to remain wide
open at all times, if other vice Is allowed
to exist through a corrupt police force.
It is because the citizens of New York do
not care enough about the stigma attach
ing to this corruption to make those re
sponsible for It pay the bill. If the city
