AGENTS WILL COME Officials of Harriman Lines to Meet in Portland, LARGE NUMBER TO BE HERE Passenger Agent Craig Succeeds in Getting Annual Transcontinental Meeting for This City Date of Gathering Is June 5. Passenger agents of all the Harriman lines will gather In Portland June 5. It has been unanimously agreed by the pas sohger agents of the many railroad sys- merch&nts of Honolulu asking for space in which tD erect a building. This building, the merchants explain, is to contain a display of tho native re sources and manufactures of Hawaii, showing the condition of Industry under native management and under white management. One interior wall will be devoted entirely to kaleldescopic views of the islands of the Hawaiian group. Space on which to build was readily granted the Honolulu merchants, and their building will probably be one of the prettiest and most unique on the grounds. Exposition Bride and Groom. A man who advertises after original methods and devises unknown schemes has written the publicity department of the Fair submitting -a plan by which he and his wife arc to dress and act like bride and groom and tour the country in tho interest of the Fair. This original person, W. H. Porter, of Fort Dodge, la., says he has no children, and that he and his wife can do the "bill and coo" act in good style. He purposes to give local papers Interviews wherever ho goes and get pictures published and make himself and wife known far and wide as the "Portland exposition bride and groom." He- says he is not a professional at the business, but that he needs diversion, and sees a way to take a trip and draw sal- PEACE IN THE AIR No Fireworks Explode at the School Board Meeting.

The white-winged dove of peace gently hovered over the meoting of the School Board last night, and the blaze of fire works over the failure of the Board to bills owing1 by district No. 1, amounting to about $400 he paid. The matter -was referred to the Judiciary committee. An application from tho Brooklyn Ath letic Club was granted, asking; for the use of Wcbfoot engine-house as a gym nasium, and it was mentioned that the principal of Hoiman school wishes to have In the near future an assembly hall and a piano.

SPECTACULAR PRODUCTION "A CARNIVAL IN VENICE," TO BE GIVEN BY BOLOSSY KIRALFY AT LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION t SCENE IN t In selecting tho name, "A Carnival In Venice" for his brilliant production, which will 1m? scsn at the Lewis And Clark Exposition, Boloosy Klralfy, who Is acknowledged to be the greatest muter of the spectacular tb world knows, has aimed to bring forth not th fcwrons of the picturesque and ancient city, but the pleasure and say events which have marked Its history since the earliest ages. The carnival days were opened by the Dsges' vJAh a Rorgro'up ceremony, creatine much rejoicing amen? the people. ' Klr&lfy came to America In 186U as the acknowledged master of the highest art in HjMwtacular productions, with experience he had sained In London, Pari", Berlin and Italian rttlee. He was the tln to produce "The Black Crook" at the famous Nlblo's Garden, In Xew York City, which ran for over two years. Later he brought to thin country Julet Verne's great play of "Around the "World In Eighty Days." "Excelsior," "The Trip to the Mion," "The Deluge" and "Enchantment" are othr great productions that Klralfy ha i presented la this country. In foreign countries th royal families have visited Kiral fy plays, and many are the tetters he has to show oX their sanction. The stage upon which "The Carnival in Venice" will be produced here will be 400 feet long and proportionately deep. In presenting tho play there will bo 500 people upon the j:age, and the grand ballets will be ono of tho most interesting sights of the Exposition. Historical scenes from tho City of Venice will bo one of the features, and,' to bear eut the Impression of Venetian customs, gondolas will ply to and from the. Trail to the scne of the carnival. A great deal of the credit for the production of "A Carnival In Venice" at the Expo sition is due to the efforts of Calvin Helllg, president of the Northwestern Theatrical Asso ciation. Mr. Helllg has taken an active part In securing tho attraction, and when it Is opened It will be under his personal supervision. terns operating ,iFndor that management to hold thoir next transcontinental meet ing here. A dispatch was received to that effect yesterday by A. L. Craig, general pas senger agent of the O. R. & N., from EL I- Lomas, general passenger and ticket agent of the Union Pacific The telegram conveying lie information was short, hut it showed that the passenger agents' were all, anxious to come here. The meeting which they will hold will be attended by the class of men most able to do the Ex position good, and they arc coming In a spirit of friendliness. There is no doubt that when they go back to all the various corners of the country from which they camc. they will give the Fair a great deal of advertising. The news of the coming meeting was welcomed by the Fair ofllcials, who say that it will do more towards making the Fair favorably known than any meeting that could be held, or any form of adver tising that could be devised. The fact that the meeting was secured for Portland Is principally due to the , good work of Mr. Craig, who wrote Traf fic Director Stubbs suggesting that the June meeting be held here, and pressing the invitation. He had not heard from his invitation for a few days, when he received the acceptance yesterday in a telegram. "The passenger agents will give us the best form of advertising we could have." said President. Goodo. of the Exposition, when told of the coming meeting. "After they have come hero, they will he able to exploit tho Fair, knowing exactly what it is like. And as they are coming early tlioy will be able to do us the more goo." .NEW CONCESSIONS GRANTED. Exhibits in State Buildings Will Be Examined for Prizes. A concession has been granted exhib itors In state buildings at the Fair which Has never been granted at previous ex positions, by which state exhibits In state buildings will be examined for prizes as well as those in the regular display buildings. This was granted to three states yes terdayWashington, California and Con necticut. It is an innovation In exposi tion rules, but has been granted hore for special reasons. Probably one of tho most potent of these Is the demand there has been for space. In most expositions the opposito rule was made to force Ktates to make regular displays and not house everything in one building, but here the Fair management is glad enough to have the state buildings filled with exhibits, for otherwise there would not be room. Tho news of this ruling will be welcome to the states which are going to erect buildings. So lar it has been sent to only California and Washington, which have already appropriated money with which to erect buildings, and to Con necticut which has a hill for that pur pose before its Legislature. Connecticut, being strictly a manufac turing state, wishes to be allowed to place exhibits of its industries in its state building, and this will also be al lowed. For. unless the manufacturers have already contracted for space in one of the regular display buildings, they will not be able to secure space anywhere else. ary and traveling oxpenses besides.

DISPLAY COMING FROM HAWAII Merchants of Honolulu Will Erect Building and Make Exhibit, Although the government of Hawaii docs not feel rich enough to make a ter ritorial display for resources at the Lewis and Clark Fair, the merchants of Hono lulu are preparing to do some exploiting of their city and island here at the Expo sition. Yesterday a letter came to Secretary H. E. Reed, of the Exposition, from Gov ernor George R. Carter, of Hawaii, ex pressing Hawaii's inability to participate. By the same .mall a letter came to Di rector of Exhibits H. E. Dosch from the Charles F. Lord's Statement, PORTLAND. Fob. IS. (To lite Editor.) Ac tuated through spite and malice, K. J.

LONDON, Fob. 14. The Dally Mail states that-an Issuo of about 515,000,000 of 4 per cent bonds Is imminent in conncc ,tlon with the Grand Trunk Pacific scheme. advance teachers' salaries to a satisfac tory basis did not materialize. Joseph N. Teal was chief orator as tho representa tive of the Taxpayers League, and he protested against tho use of the $30,000 voted at the annual mooting of the tax payers held last December being used for any other purpose than advancing the salaries of graded teachers. It turns out that the merit system of advancing teachers' pay does not go into effect until September, and that tho high moguls of the Merit Commission arc: City, Superintendent Rigler, Princi pal T. T. Davis, or the High School; Principal Justus Burnham, of tho Couch School, and Principal J. T. Gregg, of tho Hawthorn School. The ppectcr of the advance In salary of 51000 of Superintendent Riglor was pres ent, but refused to walk. The fact was Just barely touched on during Mr. Teal's speech, but there was no discussion on this point. -The minutes of the star cham ber session at which the 51000 advance was granted were. not read by Clerk Al len, and the latter stated he had not signed the minute?, as he had not time just now to do so in the rush of other business. The directors who were pres ent included: Mrs. L. W. SItton. chair man; Richard Williams, R. K. Warren and J. V. Beach. Refused to Sign Petition. Mr. Teal began by relating what took place at the annual meeting of the tax payers of the school district, held Decem ber 27, and stated that he had refused to sign the petition for the Increase of teachers' salaries, because he .did not wish to embarrass the School Board. He Insisted that at this meeting the under standing was that tho levy of .6 mill was only to be used In advancing the salaries of grade teachers. "Mr. Wittenberg suggested that the salaries of two or three school principals be advanced," went on the speaker. "Without reflection to anyono here, I understand that Superintendent Rigler Is to get from the general fund an advance In salary. Well, this was not one of the subjects mentioned at the taxpayers meeting. As .to the advance In teachers salaries, by grades, you can take 100 po licemen and you will find they are all paid at the same rate, and the result is the same with Majors in the Army. But if you put up a graded list of salaries and pay some teachers 576 per month and some 5S5, the first thing you know, you disrupt the school system. In the merit system you will create a ring and will put into the hands of this ring a club to hold over teachers. This, the City of Port land will not stand for. Who can tell those who arc good teachers, and those who are not? Mr. Warren can do so. I am sure, but 1 couldn't. There is trouble ahead for the board." "I was opposed to this advance of salary," remarked Mr. Williams. "Yes, but you were not at the meet ing," reminded Mr. Teal. Teachers Were to Get the $30,000. "1 thought the 530,000 went to tho teachers, two or three of the principals and the High School teachers," ex plained Mr. Williams. "But I was op posed to the advance, then, for two rea sbns: That the teacners had already contracted to teach this year for a fixed amount, and that It was unwise to ad vance the salaries of teachers in a body There aro some teachers for instance on the list that are not worth any more salary than they are now get tinsr." "At the taxpayers' meeting', the dis tribution of the 6 mill levy was left to the board." said Mr. Warren. Mr. Teal insisted that a feeling- is abroad that some injustice is betas' dono in the establishment of tho merit system. George Martin, of the Woodstock School, Board, asked that all children of school age in Wodstock, Flats be sent to Woodstock school, and that of teachers who wish to apply for ad mission to tho merit list. MUST BUILD TO PORTLAND. Harriman Officials Will Not Encour age Tillamook Line. PORTLAND. Feb. 13. (To the Edltor.)-Re-ports having been made to tho members of the Legislature by certain lawyers that the head office of the Southrn Pacific Company at New York had repeatedly offered to give traffic agreements to any branch railway from Tillamook that made connection with West Side track at lllllsboro. Forest Grove or North Yamhill. We wrote Elijah Smith (now In New York) and at one time for years pretld-nt of the O. Jt. & N. Co. to call at Mr. Harrlman's office and ascertain' If this statement was true. lie saw Judge Cornish, first vice-president of the Southern Pacific, on February 1 last, whom in reply stated that his company did not make nor had made any traffic contracts with branch lines, nor would they mako or. give any traffic arrangements or connections what ever to any branch lino In Oregon that con nected or might hereafter conect with the Southern Pacific system. You will therefore see that in these cir cumstances there is no other course left than for the Portland people to build their railway direct from Tillamook to Portland, unless, of course, the present Legislature au thorizes the interchange between all Oregon steam railways of loaded cars to and from Interior points within this state, without breaking bulk or transhipping the freight therein.

Nearly seven years ago Kang Yu Wei was successful in interesting' the present Emperor of China, Kwang Su, In the re form movements of that day, and had partially opened tho way for civilized people to enter with their lessons of Christianity, when tho Dowager Empress set her foot upon the proposition and or dered the arrest of Kang Yu Wei for en couraging the Emperor. Kang fled from the imperial city to the coast and finally sought refuge upon a British man-of-war. and the Empress offered-. 5100.000 for his capture. He later took passage to Eng land. In London he again took up the work of reform among tho Chinese resi dents and has continued it throughout Europo and British North America. This is his first visit to the United States, and In explanation he says through his Interpreter, Chew Kok Hcan. that his work is not to stir up strife and revolu tion within the Celestial Empire nor to create dissatisfaction among the Chinese in the country but' rather to encourage them to become better citizens and in that way carry the work of reform back to tho mother country. Kang Yu Wei impresses his listeners as being an exceptionally bright man, and as he talks of the lessons ho has learned since leaving China he becomes enthusi astic over the wonderful improvements in all lines of business." and contrasts the change In China, should the civilized peo ple of the earth bo at last admitted there.
