ANOTHER LETTER FROM PADEREWSKI
Private Car "Rlva," en Route to San Francisco. March 24, 1900. To The Aeolian
Company. New York: Gentlemen: As an admirer of the Aeolian, the wonderful
merits of which 1 have attested to in a former letter to you. 1 have now much
pleasure in adding my tribute to your latest Invention, the Pianola, which I con
sider still more ingenious.
It is astonishing to see this little devico at work executing the masterpieces of
pianoforte literature with a dexterity, clearness, and velocity which no plaver. how
ever great, can approach.
Every ne -who wishes to hear absolutely faultless, free of any kind of nervous
ness, piano-playing, should buy n Pianola. It is perfection.
"Wishing you well-dcberved success, lain, yours very truly.

WILL REMODEL BILL
Proposed War Tax Reduction
Unpopular in the East.
SENATE WILL NOT ACCEPT IT
Determination Is to 1cnvc Mimy of
the Tni.es On mul Attncli to
It n Cnl:tn Reciprocity
Amendment.
WASHINGTON, Jan. SI. The Eastern
press, and especially those papers which
have been supporting reciprocity with
Cuba, severely criticise the ways and
means committee for making n sweeping
reduction of the war revenue taxes, say
ing that such a reduction means that the
committee does not intend to grant Cuba
reciprocity, because the revenues will not
stand It. These criticisms are what evoked
the statement from Chairman Payne to
day that the action of the committee
had no connection with Cuban reciprocity.
The impression prevails that the Senate
will remodel the revenue bill In some par
ticulars, and that all the taxes will not
be cut off and that the Cuban reciprocity
amendment will be attached to It and
the House compelled to accept It, that Is,
if there Is such a strong majority for
Cuban reciprocity as seems apparent for
the present time. Some authorities on
financial matters estimate that the re
duction of the ways and means commit
tee would create a deficit, especially if
there are to be appropriations for rivers
and harbors, for the Isthmian canal and
for public buildings.
Canal Advocates Have Hope.
While at least half a dozen propositions
arc pending In the Senate and tending
to delay consideration of the canal ques
tion and to prevent the Hepburn Nica
ragua Canal bill from passing, the friends
of that measure still Ircist that there is
no reason to be discourage i, and they be
lieve that it will be llnall udoptcd, even
in the Senate, where so n. tch hostility
has been shown. It is feaed in some
quarters that Senator Morgan does not
realize the Importance of early and Im
mediate action, and that he is allowing
altogether too much leeway In the .mat
ter of hearings. It is believed that If the
Nicaragua bill could be reported the
anxiety of the Southern Senators for that
jCfrasuro would tend to discourage the de
hate of a filibustering character on the
Philippine tariff bill, and if it Is not re
ported, the Philippine debate is likely to
continue for several weeks.
Settling the Naval Fend.
President Roosevelt Is endeavoring to
find means to settle the Sampson-Schley
controversy when he renders his opin
ion on the appeal of Schley. He thinks
that the continued discussion and agita
tion of the question Is injurious to the
Navy. While there Ls no doubt that he
will stand by the department and the ma
jority of the court. It is possible that he
may make some statement regarding
Schley's achievement as a naval oiticer
so as to pacify the supporters of Schley
and end further controversy. Schley's
friends do not care for a Congressional
investigation, and it is doubtful if the
majority In either House will order such
an Investigation, if it Ls demanded.
Idaho Appointments
Senator Dubois today filed with the
President the replies of Surveyor-General
Pcrrault to the charges of the Civil Serv
ice Commission that he has repeatedly vio
lated the civil service law in making ap
pointments in his ofllc'e. The President
has called for the full charges and rec
ommendation of Secretary Hitchcock, and
Is expected to decide the case very soon.
Senator Dubois says if Perrault is re
nominated both he and Senator Heitfeld
will vote in favor of his confirmation.
The appointment of John Yost, as Reg
ister of the Land Ofllcc at Cocur d'Alcnc,
Idaho, ls to be held up until charges
which are being prepnred by residents of
that district can reach Washington and
le considered. Yost is recommended by
Shoup and Stnndrod, and, while Senator
Dubois has asked for delay, he says he
will not object to the appointment If the
committee decides to report It after re
viewing the charges.

Promotion of Wyrknff.
Senator Foster and Representative Jones
today introduced bills to promote Lieu
tenant A. B. Wykoff, United States Navy,
retired, of Seattle, to the rank of Lieutenant-Commander,
without increase or
pay. Wyckoff claims he would have at
tained this rank had he not been pre
maturely retired.
Dubol.t' Find Hrcnk.
Senator Dubois finds himself In an un
enviable position with a great deal of dis
agreeable notoriety as a result of his
brutal fling at General Wheaton. The
defenders of Wheaton are filling the pa
pers with denunciations of the Idaho
Senator, which indicate that Jt was an
extremely bad break and one from which
he will suffer for years to come. No pa
per has been found which advocates the
action of Dubois.

RETIREMENT OF GAGE.
III.h Last Cabinet Meeting Employe
Prohibited From Lobbying.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 31. The only busi
ness matter of interest under discussion
at the Cabinet meeting today was the
Cuban reciprocity question, now before
Congress. The President is very much in
earnest in his advocacy of a reduction of
the duty on Cuban sugar. Secretary Root
also is a strong advocate of a reduction
of nbout 25 per cent. It is believed that
this proposition meets with the general
approval of the members of the Cabinet.
The President has issued the following
executive order:
"All ofllcers and employes of the United
States of every description, serving In or
under any of the executive departments,
and whether so serving' In or out of
Washington, are hereby forbidden either
directly or Indirectly, Individually or
through associations, to solicit an increase
of pay or to influence or attempt to in
fluence in their own interests any legis-
lation, either before Congress or Its com
mittees, or In any way save through the
heads of departments In or under which
they serve, dn penalty of dismissal from
the Government service.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
"White House. January 31. 1902."
It is understood the executive order is
tho result of complaints made by members
of Congress that postofllce employes, and
particularly route agents and general de
livery carriers in their districts, are mak
ing every possible effort to secure legisla
tion by Congress favorable to their in
terests, and in some instances threats had
been made that unless their Representa
tives In Congress favor such legislation
they would not be re-elected. The Pres
ident Is fully determined that this- thing
shall cease, and it Is said that any person
who violates the order will be summarily
discharged from the Government service.
This was Secretary Gage's last Cabinet
meeting, and the President and the Sec-
Secretary of Trcannry Lyman J.

expressed to him then most sincere re

character.

of Curiou People.
Jack Wade
and William H. Dalton.
murderers
of James B. Morrow, were
hanged In the Courthouse square at 7:5S -?
-.-- I
o'clock yesterday morning. Wade walked I
to the gallows In a state of Indifference,
and advised his audience to avoid "the
tracks of Jack." He summed up the
life which, were his sentence commuted,
awaited him life Imprisonment at Salem.
"What would life imprisonmert be to
me?" he half asked and half -if-rl.-irprt n
the spectators. Dalton walked to the
scaffold with Wade. During the passage
of the prisoners up the long and covered
corridors of the County Jail he did not
say a word, except that he was thankful
for the treatment he received from the
Sheriff, the deputies and the jailer.
Up to the scaffold the two preser-ed the
same demeanor. They saw the 400
people packed in a solid mass, and
facing them In the enclosure. Each of
the 400 bad received an invitation, and
j eacli had accepted It. Wade had said
that he would be surprised If "150 people
turned out to see him die," but he was
disappointed. The enclosure was crowded
before 7:45 o'clock. The telegraph poles
were scaled by the linemen at 7:50. and
seven men remained seated In the brack
ets until after the execution. The roof
of a neighboring house. In which a min
ister formerly lived, was decorated by
three men. Ten women looked on from one
vantage-point. The streets siding nnd
fronting the gallows. Salmon and Fifth,
were lined with people. At G:30 o'clock 500
people moved forward and backward oi
the established Sheriff's line, stretching
from the Salmon street entrnnce to the
north side of the street, nnd from the
Fifth street entrance to the west side.
Tills line was preserved by a full com
pany of night police under the command
of Captain John T. Moore. Pop!e tried
to pass through them, but they were met
with a stern rebuff.
The Deputy Sheriffs and all visiting
Sheriffs and ex-Sheriffs who were con
stituted deputies, kept the lines at the
doors and rails. In the enclosure Itself.
Sheriff Durbin. of Marlon County, nnd
his deputy. B. B. Colbath. maintained
order on the lines laid down by Sheriff
Frazler. At the gate leading from the
jail to the scaffold. ex-Sheriff Kelly stood
guard. Like the other ofllcers, he had a
host of visitors, and as an Instance of
the morbidly curious, it may be men
tion d that an attempt was made to
bribe the man who served six years as
Sheriff of Multnomah County and who
has pursued and run down hundreds of
criminals. An old man who wanted to
see the execution passed -him a half
dollar. "Will that get me In?" he asked with
a smile.
"No," said the ex-Sheriff. "You are a
little too low. Our admission fee is
$1000, marked down to f&&9."
"That man took me for a granger and
thought that his 50 cents would" and
the ex-Sheriff finished his sentence with
a laugh.
In the enclosure Itself the deputy Sher
iffs and police had a hard time drowning
the noise. Every man present chattered
mure or leas. -i. iviiin∈ uniHiuei..
"They're Hanging Danny Dever.' The
crowd, which was largely composed of
idly curious, laughed at the verse and
at the same minute a knock at the jail
door of the enclosure announced that
Wade and Dalton were being brought to
the gallows. At the same time a slight
rain began to fall.
Their Last Dny.
Both Wade and Dalton arose early
yesterday morning. Wade was up at 5:30
o'clock, "and he told the jailer he had
slept well. Dalton arose a few mlrutes
later. At 0:15 o'clock breakfast was
served, and Wade good-naturedly passed
a leg of a chicken to Fred Marshall, who.
with his brother George, had been offer
ing spiritual consolation to the prisoners
since the death watch was set.
"It's your last meal with me," Wade
remarked grimly.
When the meal was finished and Wade
did ample justice to the chicken, eggs
and ham a song service was begun.
"Nearer My God to Thee" was sung and
was followed by Charles Wesley's "Jesus.
Lover of My Soul." At 7 o'clock Wade
started the strains of "Where Is My Wan
dering Boy Tonight?" Both the Mar
shall and Dalton joined in the refrain.
-Clx-n mlnntoi: In tor- CMof DPOtltV Sheriff

to the bars and nodded and said "Yes."
Wade clasped the bars, and when Mr.
Thi-isen concluded, he said:
". don't want to see anyone get ner
vous; I don't want to see anyone feel
bad."
After the reading of the death warrant
the "Rock of Ages" was sung. Prayer
was then offered by F. C. Marshall and
both Dalton and "Wade knelt and bowed
their heads.
March to the Scaffold.
At 7:41 o'clock the order to proceed to
the scaffold was given. The spectators
in the County Jail were excluded by
order of Sheriff Frazler, the prisoners
were taken out of their cells and the
march to the gallows was begun. Tho
prisoners were escorted bv flv npnutv
I Sheriffs. Neither one was bound, and
neither showed the slightest Inclination to
escape. Both ascended the stairway with
out a tremor, and each took his respec
tive trap. Ofllcers took stations near
them, and the crowd surged up to get a
close view of them, and were held In
check only by a company of police under
Captain J. T. Moore. Sheriff. Frazler
then stepped on the scaffold and called
the roll of members of the Sheriff's jury,
which was composed of: Dr. C. W. Cor
nelius. John P. Sharkey. Dav Raffety, E.
J. C. Zan. G. O. Jefferson, R. R. Merrill.
F. S. Smith. William McLean. C. B.
Bartel, H. W. Cardwell. J. T. Bridges
and J. B. Slemmons. County Physician
Harry McKay and Dr. II. R. Llttiefleld
were announced as the attendant physi
cians. The Sheriff turned to talk to the
prisoners, and six telegraph linemen as
cended neighboring telegraph poles, from
which they could easily witness the exe
cution. Wade surveyed them grimly and
looked at Dalton, who, standing on the
southern trap, had kept his eyes fixed on
the crowd before him.
"Mr. Wade.' said Sheriff Frazler.
breaking the silence, "has a few remarks
to make." -.
A hush fell upon the crowd. Wrfue
beckoned to the Sheriff and wh!spxfed a
few words In his ear.
"Mr. Wade." said the Sheriff, turning
to the spectators, "says he has nothing
to add to his published confession. Mr.
Dalton, I think," polntJrng- to Dalton,
who stood on the southern trap "has a
little to say." f
Dalton bowed and niied his acknowl
edgments and half e&tended his hand to
the Sheriff. Wade ftoked at his partner
In crime and almost laughed outright.
Dalton looked striajght ahead and told
again the story hd told In the steel cage
of the County Jajfi last Sunday.

Naval Official Positive About
Boat Picked Up.
K0W HE IDENTIFIES CRAFT
Eureka. Jnt In From Honolulu, Saw
Nothing of the Missing- "IVnr.shlp
Almost Certain That She
Hast (.lone Down.
VICTORIA. B. C, Jan. 31. A naval offi
cial at Esquimau, who was Interviewed
this evening regarding the marks on tho
boat found on the West coast, says there
can be no mistake. She is positively one
of the Condor's boats. The officer stited
that on the stem of all British warships'
boats is the date of construction and,
the length of the craft, and the initial
of the dockyard where the ship was built.
These all appear on the boat found off
Ahousett. The letters "S. H." undoubted
ly represent "Sheerness." where the
Condor was built. The figures "3S" show
the date of construction the year in
which the Condor was launched while
the Roman characters "XIV" give the
length of the boat. These facts, together
with the brass letter "C" and the broad
arrow, an unmistakable government sym
bol, are links in a chain of evidence which
clearly point to the identity of the boat
washed ashore. The arrival of the cruis
ers Grant and Egeria from the West Coast
is being eagerly awaited, for they may
bring some evidence of the fate of the
warship".
News comes from Nanaimo tonight that
Captiin Ross, of the San Mateo, says
that on his last trip from Nanaimo to
San Francisco he sighted a boat in tho
Straits of San Juan which answered tho
description of the Condor's boats. It was
water-logged and hid one gunwale stove
in. There was no name on it nor was
there anything in it. Captain Ross says
the boat was strongly built and had a
broad beam similar to those of a man-of-war.

or No Hope for "Wiirahin.
SEATTLE. Jan. 31. The Globe Naviga
tion Company's steamship Eureka. Cap
tain H. F. Weedon. arrived from the Ha
waiian Islands today. She saw nothing
en route from Honolulu of the British
warship Condor, leaving little or no hope
for,the missing vessel. Six or seven hun-dreiT-mlIev.qutrvfrom
the islands she passed
the stearnsrilrJi"lwmplcot of the same line,
bound for 'Honolulu. " ,
Caytain Weedon reports a great deal or
shipping at Honolulu. When the Eureka
mailed there were 15 or 20 large vessels,
?team and sail, anchored In the harbor
or tied up at the docks. Many of them
were bound to or from the Philippines,
with American ships predominating. Hon
olulu, however. Is less active in a business
way than it was some months ago. when
so many United States transports were
calling at that port. The work on the
Government breakwater at Honolulu is
being actively pushed. The general health
of Honolulu and other island, towns is
reported good.
The Eureka had an uneventful voyage
crossing the Pacific.
