As Delightful As It Is True
The player of an Aeolian Orchestrelle can be likened to no one so much as to
the conductor of an orchestra. The notes are mounded for him. He controls the
registration of the tones the shadings of Umpo. the phrasing, the tone-coloring, all
the orchestral effects are at the command of the owner of an Aeolian Orchestrelle.
It can easily be learned by anybody, and yet allows the greatest possible scope for
ttudy and improvement.
The Aeolian Orchestrelle is a home orchestra.

Scramble for a M;;it of the Chinese
I in lie rial Party.
PEK1N. Fb. 20. The Dowager Empress
and the Emperor granted a New Year's
audience to the Diplomatic Corps today.
Baron Ozikann on Walborn. the Austrian
Minister to China, addressed a congratu
latory seech t- the Emperor, and Prince
Chlng. head of the Foreign Office, read
the Emperor's reply. The Empress was
seated on the throne, with the Emperor
occupying a chair at her left, a step lower
down. The Downger Empress and Baron
von Walborn exchanged impromptu re
marks. This second audience, like the first, was
undignified because of the lack of order.
The diplomats, on entering the hall,
rushed toward the throne, scrambling for
a sight of the Imperial party. The offi
cials said the Emperor sneered noticeably
several times. As In the case of the first
audience, their majesties were subjected
to the operation of cameras, which the
Chinese consider undignified.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 20. The National
Council of Women, at today's session, in-

olutions presented by Mrs. Mary Wright
Sewall. of Indianapolis, president of the
international Council of Women. The
resolutions recommended that the official

quinquennial periods; that all Interna

committee, but without vote.
At the afternoon session. Mrs. S. E.
j Manchester, president of the National As
sociation Loyal Women of American Lib
erty, read a paper on "The Taxation of
Church Property." The question of the
taxation of church property in the United
States, she declared, was bound soon to
become one of the great questions of the
day. To make the state pay tribute to
the church. Instead of the church to the
state, was a glaring self-contradiction in
an American state

Fierce Battle Fought
at Barcelona.
500 PERSONS SHOT
Clash Between Rioting Strik
ers and Troops.
ARTILLERY BROUGHT INTO PLAY
Mob Enaed the Batteries at Close
Action, Imt "Wan Driven Off
Neighborhood Wrecked
by Shells.
LONDON. Feb. 20. A massage to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from Bar
celona, vin Perplgnan, France, says a
fierce battle has been fought between the
troops and the rioters In the suburb of
Barcelona known as Sans. Before the
engagement the cavalry and Infantry had
been posted in the most dangerous points
and a field battery had been located on
the plaza, from which vantage point the
guards could sweep tle surrounding
streets. When the final clash with the
troops occurred the artillery was brought
into action and raked street after street.
The rioters engaged the batteries at close
range, but were finally driven off. It Is
reported that 300 persons were killed or
wounded on both sides. The entire neigh
borhood was wrecked by the shells. The
ruins caught fire, and this completed the
destruction.
Further fighting Is reported at Mataro.
13 miles from Barcelona, where a quan
tity of arm? have been discovered. Fight
ing is also reported at Tortosa and Tar
ragona, respectively 1(0 and 30 miles
southwest of Barcelona.
The Report Confirmed.
PARIS, Feb. 20. The Patrle today pub
lishes dispatches dated at Hendaye,
France, early this morning, giving a num
ber of reports of the occurrences yester
day at Barcelona. The majority of these
reports lack confirmation. In another dis
patch from Hendaye. timed later in the
day, the Patrle publishes as a local ru
mor tho statement that 300 persons have
been killed and wounded in the suburbs
of Barcelona.
Anarchist the Prime Movent.
BARCELONA. Feb. 20. The strikers to
day murdered three workmen who wished
to resume work. The proprietor of a
bakery who raised the price of bread was
also killed.
It Is hourly becoming more apparent
that anarchists are the prime movers In
the incipient revolution.
The markets arc without provisions, and
the strikers are preventing the slaughter
of animals.
Additional reinforcement; of troops are
arriving here.
A mob stormed the arsenal at Sabadell,
not far from Barcelona, and secured 40
rifles, but they were subsequently recov
ered by the troops.
Fresh fighting between the troops and
rioters has occurred at Tarrasa and Sab
adell. Most of the ships in this harbor have
been forced to leave without discharging
their cargoes.
THE DISORDER IS SPREADING.
Striken Resin In Several Other Cltleit
Situation at Rarcelonn.
MADRID, Feb. 20. According to tele
grams received here late tonight from
Barcelona, the street fighting there con
tinues. Tho heavy rain which fell dur
ing the day helped to disperse the rioters,
and the authorities are taking, severe
measures. A proclamation has been is
sued, ordering all private Individuals to
surrender any weapons they may possess,
under pain of severe penalties. " The pale
of arms has neo been prohibited. Forty
workmen's associations have been dis
solved, and the members of their commit
tees arrested. The dwellings of the strike
leaders and of anarchists are being reg
istered and put under guard.
The battle-ship Pelayo has been ordered
to Barcelona.
The military engineers" have assumed
control of the street-car service and
street-cars, half filled with soldiers, are
running. Even the funeral coaches have
to be protected by soldiers.
No" letters have been delivered in Bar
celona In three days, and In some distant
parts of the town business Is completely
paralyzed.
A pitched battle occurred In the out
skirts of the city between the strikers
and the military escort attached to sev
eral wagons that were bringing in pro
visions. The contents of the wagons were
dragged out and barricades were built
across the road. The rails have been
torn up to prevent trains from entering
the city.
The strike movement has begun to
spread seriously. At Castellon de la Pla
na, taking advantage of the night and
the absence of police, the strikers set fire
to two factories with the aid of petro
leum. The factories were burned. At a
women's meeting held at Castellon de la
Plana a general strike was voted.
At Saragossa most of the factories have
already closed on the demands of the
workmen, and the strikers are bringing
pressure to bear to compel the factories
still remaining open to close their doors.
The Captain-General of Saragossa has
wired for reinforcements.
A strike commenced at Valencia, but,
owing to the refusal of the dock laborers
to participate. It did not become general.
The police at Valencia, assisted by the
troops, have, up to the present time, been
able to maintain order there.
It Is learned late tonight that martial
law has been proclaimed at Manresa
(about 30 miles northwest of Barcelona)
and at Saragossa. At the latter place the
troops have occupied a strategic position,
In order to check the disturbances.
Official telegrams received here describe
a slight Improvement In the situation a:
Barcelona, and officials tonight seem
more hopeful.
Owing to the strict censorship over
news from Barcelona, It Is difficult to
ascertain the real state of affairs there.
It is quite certain, however, that all the
efforts of the authorities to persuade the
labor leaders Into a conciliatory attitude
have so far failed, and the extension of
the strike movement is more likely than
Its restriction. In addition to the labor
movement, the ever-present Catalan home
rule agitation is likely to prove a serious
factor in the situation. One hopeful sign
Is the fact that almost alone among the
Ministers and governing authorities. Gen
eral Wcyler Is In sympathy with the Cat
alonlan demands, and Is Inclined to study
their grievances. He has held military
commands in Catalonia, speaks the Cata
lan language and thoroughly understands
the situation.
The government declines to publish fig
ures of the casualties In the riots of Tues
day and Wednesday. It is inferred from
private Information received here that 40
persons were killed and SCO wounded dur
ing the encounters of those days, and 310
arrests have been made. All persons who
were slightly wounded were concealed by
their friends. In order to avoid prosecu
tion. Women tool: a prominent part in
the riots, and were more violent than the
men.
The telegraph lines have been cut be
tween Sabadell and Tarrasa. It is feared
the strike will next extend to Seville and
Verona, and a Ministerial crisis is not an
unlikely outcome of the trouble. It trans
pires that last Sunday several workmen's
meetings were held In Barcelona. The
principal meeting was held at the CIrco
Espanol. and was attended by CO00 per
sons. Teresa Claramunt. the notorious
agitator Bonfulla and other anarchists
made violent speeches at this meeting In
favor of a general strike. This idea was
irstantly adopted, and the Intervention of
the government agents, who always at
tend such meetings, was openly spurned.
Advices received here from Barcelona
say the mob does not offer any serious,
resistance when confronted by the troops,
but rioters are continually sniping at the
police and soldiers from behind doors and
windows and from the roofs of houses,
dispersing when the troops charge.
The papers report many persons killed
and wounded during Thursday's conflicts
at Barcelona. The Heraldo says that the
Captain-General of Catalona has asked
for more troops, as the rioters are getting
out of hand.
MARTIAL LAW THROUGHOUT SPAIN.
Snfrnsta, the Premier, Is Prepnrinjy
the Decree.
.MADRID. Feb. 20. Premier Sagasta is
preparing a decree establishing martial
law throughout Spain. The signature of
the decree. It Is believed, will "be followed
by an extreme National crisis.
It was persistently said that when the
Chamber of Deputies close last evening
the Minister of War, General Weyler, had
a long conference with the Queen Regent.
This was followed by a conference with
the military authorities today. After
wards, it Is asserted, arms and ball cart
ridges were served out to ttie troops In
Madrid, who are In readiness to start at
a moment's notice.
In the Chamber of Deputies today Senor
Roberdt. Deputy from the Province of
Catalonia, Interpellated the government on
the recent events at Barcelona. The Min
ister of the Interior, Senor Gonzales, re
plying on behalf of the government," ac
cepted full responsibility therefor. Romero-
Robledo. supporting Senor Robert,
said tho government did not have enough
guns and rifles to suppress a social revo
lution if one broke out everywhere. Senor
Robledo denounced the censorship over
telegraphic news from Barcelona, and In
sisted tliat the fact that labor problems
existed in other countries did not excuse
the government of Spain.
In the Senate today. General Weyler,
the Minister of War, said that, while the
situation at Barcelona had not yet Im
proved, It had not grown wonae. He said
the street service there was partially In
operation, and that the bakeries arid gro
ceries were open In spite of the strike.
There had been no disturbance at Sara
gofwa and Rets. At Castellon de la Plana,
the War Minister said, the gendarmes
had dispersed group of strikers, and if it
became necessary he would call out the
first reserves.
Senor Sagasta, president of the council,
repudiated any desire to suppress the
truth concerning events at Barcelona. He
declared the government sought time to
solve the .'octal problems, and appealed
to the good will of the Deputies to assist
the government In this task. After re
newed attacks by Senor Robledo, the de
bate was adjourned.

FIGHTING IN COLOMBIA.
Forces of Castro nnd Herrera En
KJiRed Xcnr Ajcua Dulcc.
PANAMA. Colombia. Feb. 20. It Is pos
itively known here that the forces under
the government General Castro and tho
revolutionary General Herrera are fight
ing. Varied and numerous reports have
reached here of this engagement, but
they all lack confirmation. The forces
of the above-mentioned commandoes are
in the vicinity of Agua Dulce. Yegula
and San Carlos, between 30 and 40 miles
southeast of Panama.
The Colombian Government had per
fected arrangements with a British
steamship company to transport rein
forcements to General Castro, when, at
the last moment, the agent of the com
pany, acting upon the advices of the
British cruiser Amphlon. refused to per
mit the company's steamer to move the
troops in question.
General Salazar, the recently appointed
Governor of Panama, has cabled his ac
ceptance, and Is due here next week.

and members of the Washington delega-
SENOR

"WHO IS PREPARING A DECREE ESTABLISHING MARTIAL LAW
THROUGHOUT SPAIN.
tion announcing the candidacy of Edward
F. Blake, of Port Townsend, for the Col
lectorship. These letters were signed by
State Senator Clapp, Representatives Bte
by and Hastings, and other prominent
citizens of Port Townsend, who Indorse
Blake as a man of fine ability and large
experience, honest and fearless in the dis
charge of duty, and well and favorably
known throughout the state as an earned
and consistent Republican not Identified
with the unfortunate factional differenced
now existing. In fact, the signers believe
that Blake's appointment would harmon
ize those differences and add strength to
the party. The signers of the letters say
they have "noted with apprehension and
alarm the possibility of the appointment
of some of the men whose names have
been published as candidates." They close
by saying: "The Puget Sound collection
district is no place for aspiring youth,
neither is it a haven for the greedy or
the necessitous."
In spite of the strong Indorsement o(
Blake, who Is manager of the Washingt
on Mill Company, and once chairman of
the State Republican Committee, It is not
possible to find any enthusiastic supporter
of his. candidacy; In fact, there is an ap
parent Indifference on the part of every
one, which would not seem to Indicate
that he has much chance.
There Is no positive Indication of when
the Collector and Marshal will be ap
pointed. Members of the delegation ex
press an utter lack of knowledge as to
the outcome, saying the President has all
the facts and will probably act as he sees
fit. and when he chooses.
No Change In the Schley Case.
The President's decision in the Schley
case has left the matter almost where It
was before, so far as comment can be ob
tained since the publication. Papers that
were for Schley before are for him now,
nnd the antl-Schley papers are where they
stood previous to the President's action.
It Is recognized that thero Is no court of
resort now except Congress, and Congress
will not act. The Republican majority in
the Senate will stand by the President to
let the matter drop, and the House com
mittee on rules can be defended upon not
to allow the consideration of any bill or
resolution in favor of Schley, should it
be pressed. There Is some talk about put
ting through a bill recognizing Sampson.
Schley and Clark, but after '.he Presi
dent's action it is doubtful whether he
would favor any measure of that kind.
The Indications are that the Republican
leaders will be able to prevent any action
being taken, although there Is likely to
be considerable discussion of the Presi
dent's position and of the Navy Depart
ment's persecution of Schley.
Will Ship Subsidy Be FIseon-Holedf
Not since the ship subsidy bill was re
ported by the Senate committee has the
subject been broached. In either house of
Congress, and from present appearances
there is no Interest being taken In the
measure. Chairman Grosvenor today In
formed the committee on merchant ma
rine that the House would not take up
tho subsidy bill until It had been passed
by the Senate, which is taken to mean
that the House will not act on the meas
ure during the present session, prior to
the elections. In fact, there is consid
erable doubt expressed as to whether the
bill will ever come to a vote in. the Sen-
ate, where it Is known opposition Sena- T
tors are prepared to debate It at length.
No Hope for n Lifesnvlng: Station.
Some days ago Senator Mitchell, at the
request of the Sluslaw & San Francisco
Lumber Company, took up with the Treas
ury Departrment the proposition of estab
lishing a llfesavlng station at the mouth
of the Sluslaw River. In Oregon. The
company urged the establishment of such
a. post, saying the shipping of the river
and the large number of recent accidents
warranted the expenditure. Superintend
ent Kimball, of the lifesaving service,
after going thoroughly into the question,
discovered that the commerce of the Slu
slaw had very remarkably decreased since
1S93. and in his judgment was not suffi
cient to warrant a new station at this
time. In view of this adverse report. It
would be useless to introduce a bill of the
character desired.
Indian Ascnt Likely to Have to Go.
Representative Jones today made an un
successful attempt to have the appropria
tion for the Indian agent at North Yak
ima Inserted in the Indian bill. He point
ed out the necessity for continuing the
officer, but Chairman Sherman explained
SAGASTA
thnt the subcommittees had considered
the matter carefully In line with the rec
ommendations of the Indian Office, and
had concluded that no agent was needed.
The Indians had lands of their own, which
they were working, and would be injured
rather than benefited by agency control.
I1III for Alaskan Judicial Districts.
Senator Hoar today Introduced a bill
dividing Alaska into three recording and
judicial divisions, the first to Include that
region east of the 141st degree. The sec
ond division hall consist of the territory
lying west and north of the line com
mencing at the mouth of the Colvllle
River, thence following the Colvllle River
south and west to a point where it crosses
the 134th meridian line the second time;
thence following the 131th meridian line
south to the west side of Tohtankella
Mountain and to the Yukon River; thence
in a southeasterly direction to the western
side of Mount McKinley: thence in a
southwesterly direction to the most north
ern point of Lake Clark; thence along
the northwest side of Lake Clark to the
GOth degree of latitude; thence west along
said degree of latitude to Kuskokwlm
Bay. Tills division shall also Include the
mainland west of said bay, and all the
islands north of the 59lh degree of lati
tude. The' third division shall consist of
that portion of Alaska not Included within
the first or second divisions of the district.
Adverse Report on Simon's Bill.
The Senate commerce committee today
ordered an adverse report on Senator Si
mon's bill making It unlawful to con
struct any pound net, weir or statlonary
fishtrap within the Columbia River or its
tributaries.
Called to President's Attention.
Representative Cushman today present
ed to the President the petition of the
Alaska Chamber of Commerce approving
his bill providing for a delegate to Alaska,
and also calling attention to other needed
legislation.
For Washington Tront Hatchery.
Representative Jones today introduced
a bill appropriating 525.000 for establishing
a trout fish hatchery In Yakima County.

AT HEAD OFTHE LIST
Portland's Great January
Wheat Record.
LEADS ALL AMERICAN PORTS
Gain of 2.1 Per Cent Over Similar
Period of Last Year Exports
Greater Than Many East- j
crn Ports Combined.
Portland led all other ports In the United:
States In wheat shipments for the month
of January. The Oregon metropolis not
only stood at the head of the list, but
she shipped nearly onr-fourth of all tho
wheat shipped from the United States
last month, and the shipments from this
city were greater than those of New York,
Philadelphia. Boston, Baltimore and Gal
veston combined. The month's shipments,
as compiled by the Government Bureau
of Statistics, show a gain for Portland
of over 23 per cent, as compared with the
same month last year. Pimet Sound shows
a gain compared with last year of about
12U per cent, an San Francisco a
gain of les than 10 per cent. Coming
at a time when rival ports are making
so much fuss over Portland's "declining"
wheat trade, the Government figures make
a very pleasing thowing.
A most interesting feature of this last
statement of the Bureau of Statistics is
the showing maele by the Pacific Coast
ports as a whole.the combined shipments
of Portland, Tacoma. Seattle and San
Francisco amounting to over 5,600,000
bushels, out of a total for all American
ports of S.663.S23 bushels. Last year out
of a total' of 12,605.016 bushels shipped in
January, the Pacific Coast shipped but
