In An Article in The Independent
Josef Hofmnnn said: "In order that the Pianola shall produce the truly artistic It
must have the tru artist behind It." That is very true: but one docs not need
to be a. Hofmann or a PaderewskI to obtain truly artistic results with the Pianola.
"We all have Intent musical talents, but few of us have the time, opportunity or
patience to develop the manual dexterity that at one time was necessary to give
these talents expression. The Pianola has done for us what long years of weary
work have done for Hofmann and PaderewskI. It has given us complete control
over the keyboard of a piano.

HEARKEN TO PEOPLE
Cut in Rates on Philippine
Imports Gains Favor.
PROSPECT FOR MITCHELL'S BILL
"Would Probably Go Through If There
AVas Any Possibility of Democrats
ot Voting Against All Amend
ment; Canal Legislation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. There Is a
probability that Senator Mitchell's first
proposition reducing the rates on Philip
pine Imports coming Into the United
States to JO per cent of the DIngley rates
may be adopted. Senator Foraker, with
his more radical proposition, may lute
started the movement which will rtsult
In a compromise on Senator Mitchell's
original proposition.
At present. Republican members of the
Philippine committee are very much op- j
posed to any further reduction whatever,
but the sentiment of the country has
been growing so strong in favor of treat
ing the Islands with more liberality that j
even Senator Forakcr's rather radical j
proposition seems to meet with a great j
deal of favor among Republicans.
Senator Mitchell would be quite confi
dent of carrying through his original
proposition with the support of men like '
Foraker and others that arc gathered
around him, if there was any probabil
ity of the Democrats voting for these
amendments. The impression seems to
prevail that Democratic Senators will vote
against any amendments to perfect that
bill, and will vote against the bill Itself
which makes It difficult for any consider
able number of Republicans like Foraker
and Mitchell, who believe in showing fa
vor to the Filipinos, to accomplish this
reduction. A member of the wa's and
means committee who voted to Impose the
full Dingley rates stated today that he
would work to concur in the Senate
amendment if it should provide for the
Mitchell rate of 50 per cent. Should by
any chance the Foraker amendment of 25
per cent prevail, the bill would go into
conference, and Senator Mitchell Is confi
dent that this proposition would then be
adopted.
Not Readj to Trikc l'p Canal BUI.
Leaders of the Senate who were con
sulted today concerning canal legislation
say that the Republican majority is not
yet ready to consider the bill In the
Senate, and prefers that It shall not be
presented for some time. Just what the
object is, is hard to ascertain, but a de
termination seems to have been reached
not to allow anything whatever to Inter
fere with the Philippine tariff bill now
under discussion. The debate is being
carried on by the Democratic side almost
exclusively, but several Republican Sen.
ators have shown a desire to talk, ar.d
for this reason the managers are forcing
the bill forward, and are opposing any
plan which will bring another topic like
the Nicaragua Canal bill Into the Sen
ate until the Philippine bill passes.
Senator Mitchell is of the opinion that
the testimony of the Isthmian Canal
Commission, which has been brought out
before the committee on Inter-occanlc
canals. Is tending to strengthen the Nica.
ragua project and to show that the Pan.
ama Canal is yet a very doubtful
engineering proposition.
Cubans Still Pressing Their Claims.
Cubans arc still pressing their claims
for concessions, and It Is already an
nounced that Senator Foraker will offer
an amendment to some bill probably the
war revenue reduction measure granting
concessions to Cuba of 50 per cent. This
is double that which has been believed
possible, but the Senate might go to that
extent in favor of Cuba. Annexation senti
ment is growing, but the desire Is to have
the request come from the Cubans.
Signal Victory for .Mitchell.
Senator Mitchell won a signal victory
with his amendment to the sundry civil
bill, directing the Secretary of the Treas
ury to investigate and pay the claims of
Oregon, California and Nevada, growing
out of the equipping of troops during the
War of the Rebellion. This amendment
was attached to the bill In the Senate,
and was retained by the conference com.
mlttee. Under it the State of Oregon will
receive something like $340,003.
Memorials for Oregon.
Senator Mitchell today offered a Joint
resolution proposing an amendment to the
Constitution extending the right of suf
frage to women. He also presented two
memorials of citizens of Oregon protest
ing against the enactment of legislation
for leasing of public grazing lands.
Some Offices Drain "Would Accept.
There 1b not likely to be any action
with regard to the Marshalshlp or Col.
lectonshlp In Washington until the Presi
dent returns to Washington. Meantime
the recommendation of Adjutant-General
Drain, for the latter position. Is causing
some comment. It was ascertained to
day that General Drain, while here, did
not disclose to any member of the dele
gation, save Senator Foster, his hopes
for a local position; but he shrewdly se
cured from each a promise of support If
the President should offer him any place
In the future. General Drain did Inform
members of the delegation that he would
like an appointment of Controller of the
Currency or First Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, positions that he expected
to become vacant, but for which General
Drain has no chance of appointment.
Representative Jones said today he
thought General Drain would make an ex
cellent Collector, If he is appointed to
the position now filled by Heustls.
Investigation In Ordered.
The attention of Representative Moody
was recently called to the fact that the
Indian ponies on the Umatilla reservation
are quite generally affected with mange,
and by their association with other horses
and cattle on the public ranges are rapid
ly spreading the disease throughout East
ern Oregon. State Veterinarian McLean
says he Is without authority to stamp out
this disease among the Indian ponies, but
suggested that the general Government
kill off the diseased animals and Issue
either sound horses or cattle In their
stead. At the request of Mr. Moody the
Indian Commissioner today ordered an In.
vestlgatlon Into the true condition, and
If It is found as represented he will take
steps looking to the eradication of the
disease by such methods as will afford
complete relief.
BR0DERICK CONFIRMS IT.
British Troops Are to no Cnllcd

LONDON, Feb. 10. In the House of
Commons today the War Secretary, Mr.
Brodr.ck, confirmed the report that the
government had decided to withdraw the
British troops at Wei Hal Wei, and to
proceed no further with building fortifi
cations at that place.
LONDON. Feb. 10. In the House of
Lords the Under Secretary of the Colonial
OtIIce, Lord Onslow, referring to the gov
ernment's intention to withdraw the Brit
ish troops from Wei Hal Wei, added the
information that the government had no I

This Is the monument which, of all the monuments to Pennsylvania troops on
the Gettysburg battlefield, finds most favor amom the members of the Oregon
Volunteers' Monument Committee as a design miltable for the Oreson monument.
This was erected In honor of the Thirty-ninth Pennsylvania Infantry, and It was
dedicated September 2. 1S00 "
Intention of giving up so valuable a col
ony as Wei Hal Wei. It was extremely
useful as a ."mall arms store, for gunning
practice and as a sanitarium. The naval
and military officials there had every rea
son to believe Wei Hal Wei would become
increasingly useful and valuable. The
Chlncte regiment at Wcl Hal Wei would
gradually be disbanded, as It had been
found that the position could only be for
tified at a great e-xpene. The Colonial
Office took over the administration of th?
place January 1. The rumors that Wei
Hal Wei would be returned to China or
handed over to any other power were en
tirely unfounded. The decision had been
reached from the viewpoint of naval strat
egy, and there had been an extraordinary
consensus of naval opinion in favor of the
course adopted.

Stanchest Conservative Organs Pnn
Ush Angry Editorial.
LONDON, Feb. 11. Troubles seem to be
accumulating around the government. The
stanchest Conservative organs this morn
ing publish angrily satirical editorials on
the poor figure the government cuts over
Wel-Hal-Wel. The Ministers are remind
ed of the flourish of trumpets which ac
companied the acquisition of this colony
lis a set-off to the Prussian occupation of
Port Arthur. It Is now seen, as Cord
Rosebery said during the debate In the
House of Lords today, "that all we ac
quired is a second-rate watering place."
Lord Selbourne, First Lord of the --d-mlralt.
denied In the House of Lords
that financial reasons had anything to do
with the government's decision to with
draw the British troops from Wel-Hal-Wel.
But when he was asked to publish
the papers In the matter he replied that
some of the reports were confidential. The
greatest Interest was manifested in the
debate. There was a large attendance of
Peeresres. and many prominent members
of the House of Commons were present.
In spite of the government's assurances
for the future, the belief prevails In po
litical circles that the place will ultimately
be abandoned, after costing the country
250.000. and will fall Into the hands of
Germany.
The Morning Post expresses the hope
that the government and the country will
profit by Its lesson, and says the Ministers
came off second best in the conflict with
Russia, and veiled their failure by taking
Wel-Hai-Wei.
The papers also express great dissatis
faction with the War Office for the man
agement of the meat contracts in South
Africa, and this subject was discussed In
both houses yesterday. It was shown that
the cold-storage company made profits
amounting to 1.000,000 out of the first con
tract. London News Changes Hands.
LONDON, Feb. 10. Another change has
taken place in the proprietorship of the
Daily News, of this city, George Cadbury
having bought out his copartners. A num
ber of new departures are contemplated.
A special feature will be made of social j
reform. Betting and turf news will be ex-
eluded from the paper, but the reporting
of other sports -will be continued. 1

these special committees Is to select a site
for the monument, and It is composed of
Mayor H. S. Rowc, General O. Summers,
Captain C. E. McDoncJl, H. C. Campbell
and Ben Selling. The other special com
mittee Is to deal with designs for the
monument, and It is composed of Colonel
James Jackson. Dr. S. E. Joseph!, Chap
lain v. 5. liUDert. D. Soils Cohen and A.
L. Barbur. This latter committee is to
Invite designs- and estimates for monu
ments of two values, one for $15,000 and
one for 520,000. Both committees are to
submit reports to the general committee
before final action will be authorized.
In calling the general committee to or
der. Chairman II. W. Scott said the busi
ness before the body was to begin consid
eration of a plan for the monument, or .to
take steps with that end In view. Though
the monument to be selected might de
pend somewhat on the site to be chosen,
he did not think the site would vitally af
fect the design of the monument. He had
no special design in view. He had books
showing a large number of those erected
on the Gettysburg battlefield, none or
which would exactly fill the Idea In view
for the Oregon Volunteers, he thought,
because more money would be available
for this monument than was spent on
those at Gettysburg. He hoped there
would be $20,000 for the Oregon monu
ment. While the pictures of the Gettysburg
monuments were being examined General
Summers moved for the appointment of
the two .special committees on site and on
design, and the motion was carried. The
comm.ttees were named after the meeting
adjourned.
In the desultory discussion that followed
the opinion was expressed that a gray
granite would make the most durable
and handsome base for the figure In this
climate. The figure. It was supposed,
would be of bronze or some similar ma
terial. Various oltes for the monument
were spoken of. the northwest corner of
the Postofilce block seeming to be most in
favor. At the Fifth-street entrance of the
Postofilce. aftr it shall be remodeled on
plans now before th authorities at Wash
ington, was also deemed a suitable place.
The middle of Sixth street, between the
Portland Hotel and the Postofilce, pro
vided each would yield the width of Its
sidewalk for street room, to compensate
for the space occupied by the monument,
similar to the arrangement for the
Thompson monument between the Plaza
blocks, was also suggested. The High
School block, the block In front of the
Park School, the Plaza blocks, and the
triangular space at the junction of Burn
ride and Washington streets, were also
mentioned as more or less suitable sites
for the soldiers' monument. Fear was ex
pressed that the Federal authorities might
not be willing or able to give a place for
the monument in or about the Postofilce
block.
On motion Mrs. H. E. Jones and Mrs.
Alvord, who had been prominent In tho
Red Cross work In connection with the
service of the Oregon Vohmteers in the
Philippines, were added to the general
committee of the arrangements for the
monument.
Chairman Scott was Instructed to de
posit the funds on hand for the monument
where they would be secure, and at the
same time draw interest, and to use his
judgment as to where such depesits should
be made.
The committee adjourned, subject to call
of the chair.
FOR CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Third Portion of the Report of the
Industrial Commission.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. The third por
tion of the Industrial Commission's final
report was mule public today. It tra.s
of labor, immigntion, taxation and irri
gation. Regarding labor, it is recom
mended that the several states establish
uniform hours of labor, and also specially
regulate the hours o employment of per
sons between the iges of 14 and 21. The
working day of all public employment,
the report states, should be eight hours.
In the hope that It would bring private
employment to the same star.dard. The
period of work in underground mines
should be eight hours a day. It Is recom
mended that Congress, under Its powers
as to Interstate commerce, prevent any
person under IS years being employed as
a telegraph operator on railroads; that all
engineers and switchmen should submit
to an examination for color-blindness;
that it should be a misdemeanor for an
that it should be a misdemeanor
for an engineer or a switchman
to be Intoxicated while on duty. The
report says the states should adopt
a law providing that labor should be paid
In cash or cash orders without discount,
and not In goods or due-bl!N, and that
company stores should not be allowed.
Congress should legislate to prevent the
Importation and sale of convict-made
goods from one state into another with
out the consent of the state into which
the goods are Imported, or where they
are sold
The commission recommends renewal
and contlnuanc of the Chinese exclusion
laws, and the introduction of adminis
trative amendment.; in order to render
these laws less liable to evasion, but
framing restrictive legislation so as not
to hinder or seriously Interfere with com
merce with China. Commissioners Pen
rose. Bard. Gardner, Bell. Otjen, Lorl
mer, Farquhar and Litchmen dissent
from the qualification on the restriction
of Chlne.e immigration and deprecate leg
islation which would make easier Chinese
immigration under the guise of encour
aging commerce.
As to taxation, the report recommends
that the states abandon the general prop
erty tax and raise their revenues by taxes
upon corporations. Inheritances and in
comes, supplemented, when necessary, by
indirect taxation.
Regarding irrigation, the commission
recommends that Congress enact laws:
To provide for National control of sources
of water supply upon which two or more
states may depend "or irrigat.on; to pro
vide for further comprehensive surveys
of the arid lands of the United States,
and an estimate of the water supply avail
able for reclamation thereof; for the con
struction of storage reservoirs and Irri
gation works bj- which to utilize the water
supply of the arid. regions to the greatest
possible extent. To reclaim said arid
lands of the United States, reserving con
trol of the distribution of the water for
irrigation In respective states and terri
tories, and the holding of such lands for
actual settlers under homestead entry: to
provide for beginning the construction of
large reservoirs for diversion works where
the results of surveys and examination
have shown that vacant public lands can
be reclaimed.

TEDDY.JR.,18 WORSE
He Is Seriously, Sick With
Double Pneumonia.
NEW YORK PHYSICIAN CALLED
"Word Is Given Ont. However, That
President's Son Is in Xo Immedi
ate Danger Prince Henry May
Have to Defer His Visit. '
GROTON, Mass.. Feb. 11. 2:3) A. M. The
condition of Theodore Roosevelt. Jr., at
this hour Is apparently very serious, for
lights can be heen in the infirmary and
nurses and doctors arc tnoving around.
For the last half hour -the voice of the
boy calling for water could be heard on
the street. Nothing could be obtained from
the house, but It is believed the patient Is
delirious.
GROTON, Mass.. Feb. 11. 3:30 A. M. The
excitement in the infirmary has subslaed.
and It Is understood that the patient is
now resting easily. An hour ago he com
plained of difficulty in breathing, and tho
pain caused some delirium. At this hour
it Is stated the patient Is no worse than
earlier In the night.
GROTON, Mass., Feb. 10. Thcodoro
Roosevelt, Jr., the eldest son of President
Roonevclt, has double pneumonia. Oth
erwise, his condition is unchanged to
night. The boy is seriously sick, but It
is too early to say what the chances aro
for his recovery. This was the state
ment Issued by George B. Cortelyou, sec
retary to the President, at 9 o'clock to
night, and it was made after a careful
examination by Dr. Alexander Lambert,
the family physician of President Roose
velt, who arrived here from New York at
C o'clock tonight.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt spent a
long, anxious day in the infirmary, await
ing th crisis of the disease, which this
morning appeared to have taken such a
strong hold of their son. The change
for the worse in the boy's condition oc
curred during the night, and showed itself
when the regular morning examination
was made by Dr. Shattuck and Dr. War
ren. Secretary Cortelyou, who Is the only
meJins of communicating with the sick
room, made the announcement this morn
ing of the patient's serious condition, al
though he said then It was not alarm
ing. "His temperature Is higher," said Mr. -Cortelyou,
"and his respiration is weaker
than yesterday, but his pulse Is bet
ter."" He also said there was no Imme
diate danger: only the natural progress
of the disease. He announced tha't the
disease had spread and involved both
lungs.
This sudden and unfavorable turn
