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.

HIT GERMANY BUCK
Motive of Proposed Maximum
Tariff Law.
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.

The New York people showed rac. .every
consideration, and I am grateful to them.
I will return to New York to resume the
hearing."

worked alone. They argued that the

the day by members of the evil "gang."

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

and I studied my case in it. I then
went to the drug store and bought one
