M'GLELLAN MAKES CHARGE
House Again Considers the
Reciprocity Measure.
DEBATE IS WARMING UP
Republican Member From Minnesota
Speaks in Opposition to the Bill
Missouri Democrat Grows
Facetious.
"WASHINGTON, Nov. 17. The House to
day resumed consideration of the Cuban
bill. The only notable incidents of the
flay were the speeches of Mr. Stevens, a
JEtepubllcan member from Minnesota, -who
spoke In opposition to the bill, and the
speech of Mayor-elect McClellan, of New
oppcszd the measure for reci
procity with Cuba at the last session. To
day he argued the bill was a "cruel blew"
at one of the most important agricultural
Industries in this country, and that the
-measure will imperil our vast foreign
trade.
Mr. McClellan delivered his valedictory
to the House, making an argument In
iavor of the bill, during the course of
which he criticised the administration of
General "Wood in Cuba, and charged the
Republicans with responsibility for what
Is lacking in the fulfillment of the duty
of the United States to Cuba.. Four hours
were devoted today to debate on the
measure, ten members speaking. Under
the rule two days more are given for
speeches.
New Members Sworn In.
"When the House convened Fowler (N.
J.) and Brundlge (Dem., Ark.) were sworn
In, after which the House went Into com
mittee of the whole and resumed consid
eration of the Cuban bill.
Knapp (N. Y.) was the first speaker to
day. Stevens (Minn.), who followed,
spoke for 30 minutes in opposition
s to the bill. He said that while a
firm protectionist, he Relieved the time
near at hand when some reductions In the
present tariff schedules must be made.
"I believe the measure Is a cruel blow
to one of the most promising agricultural
Industries of tills country," said Stev
ens, adding that there would be a greater
reduction In revenues than estimated by
advocates of the bill.
Clark (Dem., Mo.), speaking of the rule
cutting off amendments to the bill, said
the probability Is that the Democrats will
control the next House and elect the next
President, adding:
"The more of these Ironclad rules you
ram down our throats, the more you will
have rammed down yours."
Turning his attention to the Cuban bill,
Mr. Clark declared with emphasis that the
Republicans could not pass the bill with
out the Democratic vote in tho House,
adding, "And you know It."
Clark then got back to politics, and
quoted what he termed Republican battle
cries. "Your Uncle Mark invented 'Let well
enough alone. He afterward converted
this Into 'Stand pat,' and then the able
chairman of the ways and means com
mittee (Payne) added a little 'Keep on
letting well enough alone,' and then when
your Uncle Mark was being punched over
the ropes out in Ohio by Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt and Senator Foraker he added,
'For God's sake, let's keep on letting
well enough alone.' "
McClellan (N. Y., Dem.), who will soon
retire from Congress to assume the du
ties of Mayor of Greater New York, fol
lowed. He fald there was an argument
in favor pf the enactment of the bill
which rose above all others, and involved
the duty and honor of the United States.
"As wo make it Impossible for Cuba,"
said Mr. McClellan, "to seek alliances
elsewhere, it is a duty we cannot shirk
to permit her to enter Into the closest
political and commercial relations with
us."
Answering the statement that there (a
no reason why tho bill should be passed
because no benefits accrue to the United
States, he said:
"In view of the formal obligations
"which we are under to Cuba, this objec
tion is selfish; but even this objection can
be met."
f He said the liberal concessions made by
Cuba In the treaty "should certainly per
mit the United States to obtain virtual
monopoly of the Cuban market."
In the course of his remarks Mr. Mc
Clellan said:
"Two years ago, Cuba was on the
verge of bankruptcy, and that she has
escaped ruin is not due to any effort on
our part. That she has been able to
exist at all during the last two years
Is because of two reasons first, the
change in the government: second, the
marketing of an increased amount of
tobacco and sugar.
General Wood Criticised.
"In 1S02, the spectacular and extrava
gant rule of General "Wood, having sad
dled upon Havana for ten years the in
famous gambling monopoly of the So
ciedad Anonima Jai Alai, gavo place to
the conservative, economical, sensible and
business-like administration of President
Palma, who has proved himself an ex
ecutive of the very highest order."
After quoting figures, McClellan said:
"In other words, under President Palma
the cost of government Is over $7,000,000
less per annum than it was under Gen
eral Wood."
In conclusion Mr. McClellan said:
"And now at last, after years of wait
ing, after the spectacle of an insolvent
lobby practically dominating tho Con
fess, we propose to fulfill partially our
pledge to Cuba by giving her this tup
peny measure of relief that is warranted
not to offend tho susceptibilities of tho
most sensitive trust in existence. We
have made a solemn promise to Cuba.
If a Republican majority in its might Is
only willing to keep partially that prom
ise, the blame and the shame rest with
the Republican party. But tho bill is
unquestionably a breach in the wall of
protection."
Out of Harmony With Tariff.
Crumpacker and.) said reciprocity was
not In harmony -with the tariff policy of
this country as exemplified in the last
two Republican tariff bills; it is not
scientific, ho added, and a reciprocity pol
icy based on special agreements with all
commercial powers, arrests the operation
of economic laws. Ho said if we are to
have a permanent reciprocity policy we
should put a tax on noncompetitive arti
cles that we might have something upon
"Which to negotiate.
Douglass (N. Y.) and Morrell (Pa.)
For tho past two months there has been
a whole swarm of carpenters, decorators,
painters, electricians and plumbers all
over EUers Piano House, busy re
modeling and re-decorating tho interior.
The offices have been moved and en
larged to accommodate the greatly in
creased clerical force; new floors laid, the
organ loft extended, show-window space
Increased and fitted with a handsome in
laid floor, and Recital Hall that has been
the scene of so many delightful musical es.
has been retinted, so that the entire place,
which now fills half the block between
Seventh and Park streets, is new and
beautiful. Everything about It is bright
and handsome and modern, and In thor
ough good taste, the establishment would
do credit to cny city in the country.
The m&st important and interesting fea
ture of the store is, of course, the instru
ments. The floors are filled with the very
choicest pianos and organs this age pro
duces, and tho variety and number of
them now to be seen there is something
amazing. No less than twenty-three dif
ferent makes of choice pianos and dozens
of sryles of each make are here displayed.
Most prominent, of course, are the
Chlckerlng masterpieces, instruments such
as nave never heretofore been seen in the
West. A beautiful, largest size Chlckerlng
in prima vera or white mahogany deserves
special mention. A carload of the now
famous Chlckerlng quarter-grands, spe
cially selected at the famous old Boston
factory, will arrive in the next few days.
The cnolcest of Weber art pianos are to
be found In this collection. The famous
Louis XIV style (patented design) is rep
resented by two most exquisite master
pieces, as is also the beautiful Rennais
ance, and the Colonial upright. Many
choice samples of the modern Weber baby
and parlor grands are to be seen now, to
gether with a large and varied assortment
cf Wcbers of regular catalogue styles.
Do not fall to examine and to hear the
beautiful Orchestral grand uprights of the
now famous Kimball make. These are the
styles that so completely captivated every
member of the last grand opera organiza
tion at San Francisco this season, from
every member of which we recently re
ceived the highest commendations as to
the beautiful singing and sustaining qual
ity of Kimball tone, and the general ex
cellence of the Kimball Pianos. Each year
the Kimball has proven a marked ad
vancement over its previous year's prod
uct, and impossible though it may seem,
this reason's Kimball pianos aro again
more carefully finished, and probably more
evenly and correctly voiced than ever be
fore. Three more carloads aro expected
before the end of the month.
Then these masterpieces of the renowned
Vose of Boston. For beauty of tone, and
thoroughness of construction, combined
with most artistic and chaste designs of
cases, there is no finer American piano
than the Vose.
Another piano deserving of especial
mention Is the beautiful Lester of Phila
delphia. Coming to us first a little over a
year ago. the Lester has quickly won
favor in the nlghest musical circles. The
late arrivals of Lester pianos are marvels
of highest-class piano construction, and
will please the moat fastidious buyer.
The famous Pease pianos are here to
day In exceptionally fine assortment and
variety. Sweet little Pease uprights, large
Colonial uprights, plain and heavily deco
rated cases, of rich and beautiful tone,
quality that will not fall to meet tho
highest musical requirements.
In' addition there are such other well
known and popular makes as the Hobart
M. Cable, Bush & Gerts. Weser Orchestral,
Haddorff, Pease, Schumann, Milton,
Draper, HInze, Stuyvesant, Sherwood,
Ricca. the beautiful Bailey and the won
derful many-toned Crown Orchestral.
In Recital Hall there Is an Imposing ar
ray of Aeolian Orchestrelles, the clever lit
tle Pianola, and the great Aeolian Pipe
Organ. A number of Electric Pianos, in
struments played by electricity, which are
among the most Ingenious and attractive
of modern musical instruments, are also
displayed.
The entire store is on dress parade this
week and the public is cordially Invited
for its inspection. To anyone interested in
a fine piano or organ, or In the growth of
Portland, both commercially and in musi
cal Interests, as evidenced by the phe
nomenal expanstoiN of this, a visit to
Eilers Piano House will be full of Inter
est and entertainment. Remember the
where a quarter block of fine pianos S51

spoke on the Republican side in favor of
the bill, and Macon (Ark.), Thomas (N.
C), Hughes (N. J.) and McDermott (N.
J.), on the Democratic side, also spoke
in favor of the bill.
At 4 P. M. the House adjourned.

WASHINGTON, Nov. .17. When tho

UNDERWEAR vs. THE DOCTOR
One scribbling scribe, who writes to people every day about what his store is doing, said a
bright thing the other day when he suggested that if everybody wore right underwear at right
time there'd he fewer doctor's bills to pay then he wondered if physicians wouldn't take of
fense at the suggestion and think he was trying to put 'em out of business. That's certainly
funny. If we had some magic sort of underwear that would keep everyone well, we'll guaran
tee the doctors would all be falling over themselves writing prescriptions for underwear, to be
filled at this store, instead of for drugs at the pharmacies. This, however, is out of tho ques
tionbut what we can and do do is to advise what sort of underwear to wear and we'll only
advise absolutely the best makes and most perfectly shaped, at the lowest possible prices and
some seemingly impossible and to show you at all tim9s"the biggest assortments to select from.
In order to do this" we search the mills of the world, at home and abroad buying in immense
quantities at lowest possible price concessions more than this no store can do, except to ac
cept some such similar lucky chance as brought to us the examples we print below under the
title head of "SPECIALS." In regular lines none are quite so good.

DEMOCRATS FILL VACANCIES.
Teller Will Leave Finance Committee
for Judiciary.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 17. The Demo
cratic steerinc committee snnnt thr

has been reached, though it Is known sev

ant committee assignments. It has been
decided that Senator Teller shall retire
from the committee on finance to resume
his old place on the judiciary committee.
This will leave three Democratic va
cancies on the finance committee, and
they will be filled by the appointment of
Senators Dubois, Gorman and Bailey.
Republicans Go Over Committees.
"WASHINGTON. Nov. 17. Th Senate
committee appointed by the Republican
caucus to nu vacancies on standing com
mittees held its first meeting today. Sen
ator Hawley, ranking Republican mem- i
ber of the interoceanlc canal committee,
has asked to be relieved' from duty on the '
committee because of ill-health. The xe-
port that Senator Morgan will withdraw
from the committee when he is deposed I
from the chairmanship, which It has been '
decided shall go to Senator Hanna, Is not
credited by either Republicans or Democrats.
