THE 3rORXIXG OHEGOXTAX,' TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 190G. FIELD MS RALLIED Doctors Hold Out Hope of Merchant's Recovery. HIS STRENGTH VERY LOW After Gathering Relatives Ready for the End, Doctors Find Improve ment, Which Good Weather May. Continue. NEW YORK, Jan. 1C Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning August Eddy.a-close friend of the FJeld family, came from the bedside of Marshall Field, and said that for the first time since Saturday night the attending physicians had told Mr. Field's immediate relatives that they might retire and rest easy. This was taken to indicate that the improvement of the early evening continued. NEW YORK, Jan. 15. The condition o Marshal Field showed marked improve ment early tonight. The rally which he experienced between 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon continued five hours after it began, and so noticeably had Mr. Field improved at the end of this period that those watching at his bedside began to hope for recovery. One of his tlu-ee physicians, who earlier in the day had announced to those at Mr. Field's bedside that practically all hope of saving his life must be aban doned . said tonight that he believed Mr. Field had a chance of recovery. During the rally Mr. Field was perfectly con scious, it was stated by those who had been with him. and was better than he. had been at any time during the preced ing 24 hours. During the earlier part of the day the patient's condition was considered so grave that a forecast of the weather to night and tomorrow was asked for by his physicians, in the hope that a change from the exceeding dampness of the last two days would be a factor in his favor. His strength was very low, but he seemed to indicate a determination to fight the disease to the very last. Stimulants Freely Used. Although the area of congestion was still confined to one lung early tonight, the long strain had made great inroads upon Mr. Field's strength, and heart stimulants were freely administered. The following bulletin regarding the condition of Mr. Field was issued at the Holland House at 11 o'clock by Drs. Jame, Jancway and Billings: "Mr. Field's condition remains practi cally unchanged since 6 o'clock P. M." At 9:1 A. M. the following bulletin was issued: "Near the end of the seventh day of the disease. Mr. Field's condition remains critical. There is as yet no improve ment." Death Seemed Imminent. At 10 o'clock this morning Stanley Field, nephew of Marshall Field, said that his uncle's condition was hopeless, and that his death appeared enly a matter of hours. Mr. Field was conscious at thatv. time, however, and all his relatives who are in the city were at his bedside by his re quest. At 10:30 o clock the patient was percep tibly weaker. Th? area affected by pneu monia had not increased, but the danger of exhaustion was very groat. Those at Mr. Field's bedside this fore noon were Mrs. Field. Mrs. Marshall Field. Jr.. Stanley Field and Mrs. Stanley Field, Mrs. Henry Dibble, a sister of the sick man: Norman B. Ream, William G. Beale, Paul Morton and Robert T. Lincoln. Just before 11 o'clock Dr. Billings, when asked if there had been any change in Mr. Field's condition, replied: "Mr. Field is- in extreme danger." The following bulletin was issued, just after 1 o'clock: "There Is no change for the better in Mr. Field's condition. He continues to grow weaker." Change for the Better. At 3 o'clock it was announced that Mr. Field had rallied considerably. At 4 o'clock it was said that the Tally continued. For two days hypodermic in jections of digitalis have been adminis tered. 4 At 6:30 o'clock tonight, the physicians attending Mr. Field issued the following bulletin: "Since 1 o'clock Mr. Field's condition shows slight improvement. He is a little stronger." LIBERALS HAVE MAJORITY (Continued From Page 1) til the Irish party will disappear and their people will then divide along the true party lines as do the English and the Scotch. The intense political antagonisms, existing between the English and Irish are an artificial pro duct, not due to elemental race differ ences Teutons and Celts were not o very long -ago severed from the com mon parent stock, and the English and Scotch or the English and "Welsh are no longer affected by race antipathy. The centuries of special and exasperating treatment have set the Irish apart from their-rulers, and it is history rather than blood that separates them." The Irishman's -position, then, in re gard to English political issues is "a policy of detachment. He is more eon- cerned in his own "fiscal" affairs to which he js giving his entire time and attention. The majority of the electo rate of Scotland favor home rule for Ireland, the same in Wales. Australia and Canada have both passed resolu tions m their Legislatures favoring it anjd hundreds of thousands of English men supported Gladstone, as they are now supporting Campbell-Bannerman, to let the Irish people manage their own domestic affairs. It is the privi leged class of England proper, the aris tocracy of England, who are against any measure of local self-government for the "disloyal Irish (so called) and. strange to say, some of the bitter est opponents of the Irish home rulers are the English Catholics and some of the strongest advocates of justice to the Irish people arc Irish Protest ants. The King himself is generally be llcvcd to sympathize with the home- rule movement. Michael Davitt summarizes the re sults of this struggle of the "Irish people for the past 25 years: Impris oned for political causes, 2506 men, in eluding every leader and prominent Nationalist from Mr. Parnell down, and several clergymen; 20 to 30 "women. Money expended, total estimated at 56,000.030; of this -amount Ireland sub scribed 53.ooo.wo, united states $3,500, 000; Australia, $300,030: 'Canada- ?t3,- 000; Great Britain $100,000; tne late Cecil Rhodes to Mr. Parnell $50,030. Campbell-Banherman, If his majority is large enough to be Independent of the Irish votes in Parliament, will probably give the Irish people some homeopathic "doses -of local self-gov ernment consistent in his judgment with his own political safety. Should the Nationalists and Laborltes form a coalition and succeed in holding the balance of power in the next Parlla rnent, nothing Is surer -than that some kind of a home-rule measure will be sent to the Lords. THINKS DUELING NECESSARY German Chancellor Defends Resort to Code by Officers. BERLIN, Jan. 15. The Reichstag today held one of its perennial discussions of dueling in the army, which was occa sioned by the case of a lawyer. Heir Feldhaus, of Muehlheim, and one Buhr. whom the Emperor summarily dismissed from his position as a Lieutenant in the Landwehr because he refused to fight a duel which a court of honor had declared necessary. The Clerical party brought in an in terpellation on the subject, asking Chan cellor von Buelow what measures the government purposed to adopt against compulsory duels. War Minister von EInem answered by reading a statement from-' Chancellor von Buelow, who was absent from the house. The Chancellor declared that the custom of dueling. exists in wide circles of the educated classes of Germany, and so long as It is regarded as a means of restoring offended honor the' officers of the army cannot tolerate the presence in its ranks of a member who is -unwilling to re-establish his honor with a weapon in his hand. The government, however, had under consideration a revision of the penal code in the direction of stringent penal ties against persons wantonly attacking another person's honor. Until this was done dueling was necessary. The. Em peror's Cabinet order against duels in the army has greatly reduced their num ber. General von Einem added that only one duel had occurred In 1905 between officers on the active list. PASSING CONFEDERATE BILLS Swindlers Victimize Many Shopkeep ers in Austrian Capital.

HER RATES DISCRIMINATE She liaised Minimum Rates and Im . poses Maximum Tariff to Force ' Reciprocity McCIeary Pro poses We Do Likewise. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 15. A prominent member of the Administration, who is consulted by tho President, as well as by leaders In Congress, in regard to all tariff matters, recently had occasion to make a brief statement of the German-American tar iff situation, and this. In substance, is what he wrote: Official statistics show that during the hut ten years our Import from German y have grown from $SI.000.O00 ia ISM to $118,000,000 in 1P0S. and durim: the name period our ex porta to Germanr hare Increaaed from 0(0,000 In 18W to $1M.000.000 In 1W. The tarred imports into the United States dur ing the fiscal year 1905 were: From the United Kingdom, $176,000,000: from Germanr. $118,000,000: from Brazil. $100,000,000: from France. $90,000,000: from Cuba, $68,000,000, and from Canada. $02,000,000. Our largest export for the neal year 1005 were: To the United Kingdom. $523,000,000: to Germany. J1W.OO0.OOO; to Canada. $141. 000.000: to France, $76,000,000: to the Neth erlands, $72,000,000; to China, $53,000,000: to Japan. $52,000,000; and to Mexico, $46, 000.000. Germany "Wants Reference. Germany during the last two or three years has repeatedly nought to enter into a reci procity arrangement with this Government which would. In effect, give her goods com lng into the United States a preferential rate over thoae of our best customer, the United Kingdom, to ay nothing of Canada. Franc and other very deelrable customers of our. "There appears to be no disposition whatever In Congress." adds this Presi dential adviser, "to accede to this de mand." and he makes this statement after numerous conferences with recognized leaders. "But in order to force the Issue the agrarian influence in the Reichstag has compelled the adoption of a new Ger man tariff, which is to go Into operation on March 1. 1905, making a very material difference in the tariff rates which she will impose on goods originating in coun tries with which she has reciprocity trea ties and those from countries with which she has no such arrangement." He con tinued: Her Minimum Tariff Raised. To begin with. Germany made a general advance in her tariff rates so that under the new law the minimum, which will be paid by the mont-favored nation after March 3. will be considerably higher than the rate which is now paid by all nations alike. In eluding the United States. Further than that, she has made a maximum, rate, which must be paid by all countries not having recipro cal trtaties with her. and which, of course, would include the United States. That thtM maximum rates are a tltl greater advance en the old rates can be Illustrated by one Item, wheat flour, the pretent rate on which is $1.55 per barrel. After the first of March those countries which have a reciprocity ar rangement with Germany will pay the mini mum rate of $2.17 per barrel, and all other countries will pay $4 per barrel. The largest Item of our export to Germany, however, is raw cotton, which is now admit ted free, and which will contlnuo to be ad mlted free under the new tariff law. The question, which now confronts the United States is. What are we going to do about it? Under the provisions of the Dlngley tar iff law the President is authorized to retail, ate against countries which may discriminate against American goods, but nothing under this act. or indeed in any administrative way. Is contemplated to meet the advance in the German rates. Retaliation Is Proposed. The opinion appears to be very general in official circles and among leaders in Congress that In all probability legislation will be en acted at this session establishing a maximum rate of 25 per cent advance over the present Dlngley rates which hall be aspersed on all goods coming into the United Statea from countries which discriminate in the matter f tariff against American goods. A bill en these lines has already been introduced by Representative McCIeary. of Minnesota, and that bill meets with favor. It la possible, however, that an exception may be made In the case of Canada, for it Is believed to be unwlfe to compel Canada to put us on the ame tariff footing with the mother country. The enactment of such a law as this. It is be lieved, will force Germany to retreat from her present tariff position. While the writer of the foregoing prob ably has good reason to expect the pas sage of the McCIeary bill or some similar measure, and while he Is In a position to state that such a law would be approved by the President and by the Republican leaders, the situation In Congress has not sufficiently developed to accurately state what disposition will be made of this par ticular bill and those of a kindred char acter. But there is a manifest desire on the part of the Administration to let Congress deal with the German tariff problem, rather than attempt to solve It by executive action.

AGREE TO ADMIT PREACHERS Unions Won Over by CIcTcr Speech of Presbyterians.,, NEW YORK, Jan. 15. After a stormy meeting of the Central Federated Union yesterday, a resolution was passed to ad mit aa fraternal delegates Rev. M. S. Uttlefield and Rev. John B. Devins, rep resenting the New York Presbytery. It looked at first as if the Socialists who were up in arms against the admission of the clergymen would carry the day. Mr. Littlcfleid. who sat through the whole proceedings, turned the tide by a little speech he made before tho vote was taken. The conditions under which the two clergymen were admitted provide that they are to have neither voice nor vote. No less than 23 speakers talked on the subject, most of them against the admis sion of the clergymen. I represent a closed shop," he said, and he was interrupted with shouts of applause. Then he explained that his closed shop was the ministry, every mem ber of which had to be thoroughly quali fied. "I want to say," he continued, "that I am getting a church built, and none but union men will be allowed to finish it." More- applause followed, and Mr. Little fleld went on to say that all the minis ters wanted was to get a chance of In vestigating labor conditions at the foun tain head, and invited the delegates to send representatives to the meetings of the presbytery. His speech turned the scale, and by a vote of 63 to S3 It was decided to admit the pastors. WILL CONFER WITH MIXERS Coal Road Presidents Agree to Dis cuss Wage Scale. NEW YORK, Jan. 15.

Herman Charles BAD BLOOD Every part of the body is dependent on the blood for nourishment and strength, and when from any cause this vital stream of life becomes impov erished or run-down, it invites disease to enter. No one can be well when the blood is impure; they lack the energy that is natural with health, the com plexion becomes pale and sallow, the vital energies are at a low ebb, and they suffer from, a general broken-down condition of health. The system is weak ened and unabl e to resist the diseases and disorders that are constantly assail ing it. The Liver and Kidneys, failing to receive the proper stimulation and nourishment from the blood, grow inactive and dull, and the waste matters and bodily impurities that should pass off through these channels of nature are left in the system, to pioduce Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases or some other blood disorder. When the blood is in this weak ened and diseased condition it should be treated with a remedy that is not only thorough, but gentle in its action. S. S. S. , a purely vegetable remedy, made of roots, herbs and barks, is just what is needed. It not only cleanses the blood of all impurities and poisons, and enriches and strengthens it, but S.S.S. PURELY VEGETABLE, promptly and gives better results than any other medicine. It cures Rheumatism, patarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases and all other blood disorders, and cures them per manently. Our Medical Department will be glad to give advice without charge to all suffering with blood or skin diseases. Address THE SWIFT SPEC!
