Sr3HPH02ar C3CT A.DECEDED
SUCCESS.
55 Procrasnme Listened to by a
FfesMonable Audience That Filled
tho 2Iarg.uam,
last night was Indeed a red-letter night
uuo uusiBu mstory or, -roruana, lor it
jnarked the establishment here of a per
manent symphony orchestra, and this
means the rendering of the greatest mas
terpieces of music, such as have hitherto
been denied the music-lovers of this city.
That man must he of inferior caliber in
deed who is not moved by the moral
dignity, passion, and grandeur of Beeth
oven's symphonies, -with their volcanic
outbursts of frenzied grief, haughty re
bellion and -wounded pride, all brought
through final self-conquest Into well-ordered
obedience to spiritual law and com
pliance with destiny and the decrees of
Providence.
The selection of the fifth symphony to
inaugurate the series of this season's con
certs was an act of happy judgment Ex
perience has shown that no symphony Is
more sure of winning the popular ear
than this. Its tempestuous rush of feeling
Is too vehement and unmistakable to leave
the hearer untouched; Its revelations of
despair and anguish, melting into quies
cence and heavenly calm too startllngly
direct and vivid to leave the soul un
wrenched. ,
The problems "with, which every move
ment of this great work teems were met
by the 3a musicians of the orchestra witn
a vigorous sincerity and resolution not to
be overmastered, that commended It to
the audience and won from the great body
of bearers hearty admiration and warm
approval. There was a complete absence
of harsh or unfriendly criticisms. On
every side, words of praise were heard for
the noble achievement. There was, of
course, here and there, unevenness of at
tack, ragged phrasing, lack of precision,
tame crescendos and lost keys; it would
have been a miracle if this had not hap
pened. The prelude to "Lohengrin," full of mys
ticism and ecstacy.'in its powerful climax,
will 3ong be remembered by all who heard
It. The overture to "Midsummer Night's
Dream," with its captivating snatches of
fairy laughter, was, in artistic beauty or
interpretation, eclipsed by no other num
ber on the programme. This was given
at the previous concert a few months ago,
and will bear repetition many more times.
The stately grace of the minuet that fol
lowed, by way of encore, enthralled the
audience. The Weber overture to "Ober
on" Is especially to be commended for
cleanness and precision of attack.
Mrs. Hose Bloch-Bauer won new tn
umphs for her enchanting delivery of the
cavatina from "Les Hugenots," which was
full of spontaneity and charm. Her en
core was Deinza's "May Morning." Both
of these numbers she sang superbly.

NEW YORK. Jan. 5; A special to the
Times from NashvIllejgZFenn., says:
The Southern Presbyterian board
of missions In this city received
letters today from Rev. L- C.
Vass and Rev. -H. P- " .jEfawklns,
missionaries of the church stationed
at Luebe. Congo Free State, Africa, giving
accounts of the burning of 14 village's and
the killing of 90 or more natives by state
troops. They report that somepf-,ihe vic
tims were eaten by-canhilJals'Sild"t3iat.tha
bodies of all whow'ere -slain wer&muti-,
lated. thplr hMflc -hmrlWV finr, 39Kfcl7 - ' !
Mr. Vass was fprmehy of NewbernV'N.4
C, and has been engaged in mission work
at Luebe since 'February '18, 1S99. Mr.
Hawkins was formerly of VIcksburg, Miss.
Mr. Vass states that tidings of'raialng by
the Zappo Zaps In the Bena Kambacoun
try having readied them, and the work
of the missIonarfesT'oeing threatenedy dial
xvev. wr. aneppara was sent to make an
investigation. He went to the Zappo Zaps'
camp and found that 14 villages, bad been
destroyed by Are and, plundered.' He saw'
47 bodies lying around the camp. From'
three bodies the flesh had been carved-and
eaten. The chief said that SO or 90 had
oeen killed and five persons eaten'by his
people.
Mr. Sheppard saw 81 right hands cut
off and trying over a slow fire in order
to be afterward taken back to the state
officers. Sixty women Drisoners wers in.
' fined in a pen, and 16 had already been
sent away prisoners. It Is said the raid
was ordered because the people could not
pay the exorbitant tribute demanded by
the state. The missionaries say that
they reported the matter to the proper
officials, and demanded the withdrawal of
the troops, and that the chief instituted a
counter prosecution on account of the
charges made. The missionaries further
say tne Zappo Zaps are a tribe kept by
the state for its protection. They are
sent out to collect rubber, ivory, slaves
and goats as tribute from the people, and
can then plunder, bum and kill for their
own amusement and gain. The mission
aries say they are collecting evidence
about the massacre, and will send it to
Boma and to Europe. Mr. Vass says:
"The whole country is nillaeed and nnf-
a village lert standing. The people are
In the bush. Tonight in a radius of
about 75 miles there are possibly 50,000
people sleeping In the bush, unsheltered
and weary. In the midst of a rainy season.
The state is a terror to every one."

In a nice cottage, erected by the light
house department on its five-acre tract at
that depot, hard by the storehouse. It is
a quaint and interesting place, albeit lone
some, as it was, up to a recent period,
isolated from the world, to a large extent.
Extent of Lighthouse Service,
The report of the coast and geodetic
survey of August 15, 18S9, shows that under
the supervision of the United States light
house board there are 10,453 miles of gen
eral seacoast. Of these, 4750 or nearly 50
per cent are In Alaska and 1S10 miles are
on the Pacific coast, or more than 65 per
cent in the great West while 1S52 miles
are on the Gulf of Mexico and 2043 miles
on the Atlantic coast. On the Lake coast3
are more than 3000 miles. The bays and
rivers, up to as high as tide water, aggre
gate 90,835 miles, of which 26,376 are In
Alaska. Besides those, there are 5000 miles
of fresh-water rivers that are range-lighted.
From 1791 to 1S90 the total annual
cost of the lighthouse service aggregatea
$93,238,925 80. In 1791, It was only S22.59L
In 1890, lt was ?3,503-,994 12, an expansion
most vast, and in the current year lt is
reported to have run up enormously.
One of the most Interesting items of
this expense is the whistling buoy, of
which, in 1SS0 (as per printed report on
"The Modern Lighthouse Service," maae
for the International American conference,
under supervision of James G. Blaine, sec
retary of state), there were 62 on the
United States coasts. These cost an aver
age of 51075 each. They are made of iron.
with pear-shaped bulb, 12 feet across ana
floating 12 feet out of water. They emit
an "inexpressibly mournful and saddening
sound," says the report, and are at times
heard 15 miles away, though usually from
one and three-fourths miles to eight miles.
Whan located near inhabited districts, they
annoy the landsmen much, and remon
strances and petitions concerning them are
about equal.
While the lighthouse board has full
power to make new lighthouse districts, it
is noted that some one has recently intro
duced a bill In congress to create, out of
the 13th, a new district, to be called the
17th, and to Include Puget sound and the
Alaska coast

of contrast between the ships engaged
in this service and those In the revenue
service on this coast may not be Inaptly
spoken. There are six ships, besides two
launches, in the revenue service on tne
Pacific coast. The ships are the Bear

Cullough and the Rush. These have each
three lieutenants, besides the captain; I
inoy nave Dut little to do; officers are
constantly on leave; they tie up at tne
swell wharves, blow out on nice summer
trips and have unlimited funds to draw
on for repairs, with two steam launches to
ao ail tne duty on Puget sound.
The three lighthouse tenders havo only
three officers each; they paddle night and
day and Sundays; are always on the alert
to scent danger to the ships of commerce;
the funds for repairs and expenditures are
very limited and meager; their boilers are
playing out; they have hard work to get
enough funds to keep afloat; salaries are
at the minimum, as compared with those
in the revenue service, and when an or
flcer gets sick or goes on leave he must
furnish and pay for a substitute or ror
feit his place. The key to the situation 13

stockmen almost decimated their ranges,

raising new crops of calves. The dry
seasons of California had almost annihi

grass again returned to the plains this
winter, the landowners were willing to
pay most any figure for stock to start
with. The war In the Philippines also

EAST SLDER COMPLAINS.
vniia Attention to Several Needs ofl
the Community.
PORTLAND, Jan. 5. (To the Editor.)
Will you permit a subscriber to say a,
word through your paper? I noticed in
your Issue of Tuesday morning quite an
extended account of the improvement on
"The East Side" in the last 12 months.
Tour correspondent sums up the cost of
new residences at $350,000, of other im
provements at $200,000. This certainly
shows well for the energy and enterprise
of the property-owners of this part of tho
city. We would be glad If some others, aa
well as The Oregonian, might become cog
nizant of the advancement. The increasa
In property valuations and In Inhabitants
brings to us no Increase in accommoda
tions of property or nersonal nrotentl.in
but rather decrease. The street-car com
panies have not seen fit to Increase their
service, and seem to think that standing
room on the lower step of a car in tha
pelting storm Is good enough for an East
SIder, and that a car cace in 15 minutes,
packed and jammed to the utter discom
fiture of everybody In It and on It. is trooti
enough for an "Uitlander." About 30
dwellings have been built In one little sec
tion, 500 feet square, and nearly 200 people
are living in these. Still, the streets are
left in total darkness. East Burnslde, one
of the best-Improved streets in the city,
and In use at all houra of the night, has
no lamp on It for nearly a mile. If any
one of the 300 people living In that portion
of the city desires to mall a letter, he
must take a walk of fully a half-mile to
una a mall box.
Of the 95.000 people living In Portland,
probably fully 50.000 live on the East Side
of the river. For the protection of East
Side residents, two policemen are granted
In the day and Ave at nteht asrainnt is in
the day and 23 at night (beside special
police) on the West Side.
We will admit that we are not as wicked
on this side. Perhaps it is because wo
don't have so good police protection for
our iniquities, but lt would be well for
tho city authorities to remember that
nearly all tho "hold-ups" of the last six
montns nave oeen on the East Side, and
that there are. on this side, olentv nt
places like Cycle Park and the Buckman
orchard, where two of the saddest trage
dies of the last year have occurred. We
don't want everything, but we do think
the efforts to improve this side of the city
entitle us to as good car service in pro
portion to the patronage which we give a3
I3 granted on the other side. Also, that
the city authorities ought to realize that
lt is just as unpleasant and dangerous for
us to stumble about In the darkness as lt
is for others, and that life and property
are just as dear to us on this side a3 on
the other. We believe we are justly en
titled to better car service, better mail
service, better light service and better po
lice service. SUBSCRIBER.

Small Diamonds Sloro Perfect.
St. Louis Republic.
There are more perfect small a-mn
than there are perfect large ones; and
where a man gets together a collection of
perfect diamonds he is most likely to have
a collection of small ones. Thus, tha
diamonds owned by Americans are not4 as
a rule, so large as are the ones owned
in Europe. Artificial light enables the
European diamond-wearer to wear big
gtones that are not altogether perfect.
