I'nst, Says Wlsuonsan.
WASHINGTON'. June Hi. The Senate
spent the entire day debutiiiK the bill to
incorporate a ship canal connecting 1-ake
Krie with the Ohio River, and uftain ad
journed without action on it. The bill
was savagely attacked by Patterson as
in the interest of speculation, and whs as
warmly defended by Knox and Nelson.
I.aFollette offered a number of amend
ments, which were laid on the table.
During a lull in he proceeding's I he
president pro torn announced Ids signa
ture to the statehood bill.
The Senate adjourned at 4:30 P. M. for
want of a quorum.
Water in Stuck as Well as Canal.
Patterson found in the I.ake Krie ship
canal hill an encouragement to the advo
cates of Government ownership of public
utilities. He quoted from a pamphlet
by the company, giving in explanation of
the renuest for a Congressional charter
the fact that the Government might ulti-
niatcly become the owner of the proposed
canal. He expressed confidence that the
bill would become a law. and said that
such a step would be a declaration that
1 the Government might at no distant day
own and operate the canal for the benefit
of the country, and he declared that it
i was not a great stride from the owner
ship of a canal to the ownership of a
railroad.
i But Patterson claimed there was a
;i" financial reason for the move. They were
ii"' prcar!ng to go "wild catting in the
jungle,'' and the Senator predicted that, in
view of the transaction in the United
, . States Steel Corporation, tho Pittsburg
' men said to be behind the company would
not enter it with a prospect of securing
less than 4 to 1.
Slcel Trust 75 Per Cent Water.
Tlds statement moused Senator Knox,
who said that the Pittsburg people had
, . not been responsible for the steel com
pany's sale.
"I understand that the Idea was con
ceived by eminent financiers of New
York," he said, "and the people of Pttts
" burg were not foolish enough to take' less
tliHit they could gel."
Patterson contended, however, tjiat
Mho millionaires of Pittsburg had been
participes criminis with those of , New
York in the organization of the I'nited
Slates Steel Company conspiracy." Ha
added that they had succeeded in sell
ing for a billion dollars property not
worth more than $::50,00d,000. The re
' mainlng $750,000,000 represented wind,
and nothing more. He expressed the
opinion tiiat the steel companies were
behind the canal enterprise; that their
object was to secure iron ore cheaper
than half, and by means ot the tariff
keep prices up and maintain their mo
nopoly. Knox on WildcattliiK.
Patterson advocated an amendment
to the bill that would forbid the sale
of (lie canal slock for less than par,
' and Knox said in reply that, while he
had a great deal to do with corpora
tions, he had never known any "ex
cept wildcat Colorado mining schemes"
vv hose stock was sold for less than
par. Patterson admitted that there
were some wildcat mining schemes,
and that this was a wildcat canal
far leiis excusable, because its profits
would be extorted from the pockets
of tho peoplo at large.
"The idea that a Notional charter is
sought because the Government may
own the canal 50 or 100 years hence is
too absurd to credit, " said Patterson.
Jie gave it as his opinion that the" step
was taken to secure an advantage in
the disposal of stocks and bonds.
Nelson defended the hill against the
charge that, it was a mere stock-jobbing
scheme. He said such a canal would re
duce transjortation charges to the great
- ' Northwest.,
No Time for Over-Capitaliziii;.
m Follette. speaking of the provision
of the bill which seemed to place no limi
tation upon the capitalization of the com
pany, asked Senators with a sweep of his
hand that took in the entire ehanilier:
"Do ymi believe transportation compa
nies should be permitted to be overcapi
talized?" Not waiting for an answer, he
said dramatically:
"If my colleagues on the Republican
- side of ibis chamber cannot be made to
1 " answer that question, it will be answered
k. by the American people, and the answer
v will he based on sound economic princi
ples. . The time has gone hy when the
transportation companies can overcapital
.. ize with Impunity.'
' An amendment by Senator Culberson
that all sUick and bonds issued by the
company in excess of those allowed by
the bill shall be null and void was ac
. i . copied. Then the quorum vanished, and
; , , the Senate adjourned.
CANNOT AGKKK OX PIPK USES
j Hate Hill Conferees Tin-ash Over
Old Straw Without KcmiH.
WASHINGTON, June 16. hi the absence'
of Representative Sherman, of New York,
who was out of the city, the conferees on
the railroad rate bill were in session less
than an hour today, and reached no con
clusion on any subject. The pipe-line
amendment was discussed. Senators Kl
kins and Tillman opposing any change in
the provision making them .common car
riers and contending that most of the com
panies that have protested the amend
ment are subordinate companies of tho
Standard Oil Company.
Opponents of the amendment proposed
that the amendment which prohibits a
common carrier from carrying commodi
ties it produces be changed to read: "rail
road carrying commodities it produces."
in order that this amendment shall not
conflict with pipe lines, which are con
structed for the sole purpose of carrying'
their productions. If this were done, they
agreed to supivort the pipe-line amend
ment. Tho same lines were drawn concerning
the Pullman car amendment. The House
conferees raised objections to all of the
amendments which relate to the issuance
of injunctions, setting'aside orders of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and
contended that there should be no inter
ference with the courts. The conference
was adjourned until .Monday.
SENATE LIKELY TO BACK DOWN
Leave Type of Canal for President
to Decide.
WASHINGTON. June 16. The contro
versy that has arisen between the Presi
dent and the House concerning meat in
spection and the differences- likely to
arise between the Senate and the House
relative to the type of the canal to ba
built across the Isthmus of Panama were
discussed today by Senate leaders to de
termine what effect they would have upon
adjournment.
The indications are said to be that the
Senate could decide relative to meat in
spection upon a good and effective meas
ure. In regard to the canal legislation,
the prevailing opinion is that the out
come. In the event that the Senate passes
a sea-levei bill, is that all matter relative
to the type would be eliminated in con
ference from the sundry civil appropria
tion bill. If this should be done, it would
leave the President free to carry out his
expressed determination to proceed with
the construction of a lock canal.
International Crop Estimates.
WASHINGTON. June 16. Senators Per
kins and Flint and David S. Lubin, of
California, called on the President today
to -urge him -to transmit to the United
States Senate for ratification a treaty
providing for the participation of the
United States Government in an inter
national ' arrangement for the estimation
of the world's crop of grain each year,
as recommended by the international
agricultural conference at Rome. A pro
tocol has been drafted carrying the idea
into effect, but the approval of the Sena'te
is necessary to make effective this coun
try's participation in the work.
The President promised to take the mat
ter up with Secretary Root and reach
a delerminatiopn of it as soon as pos
sible. Will Watch German Maneuvers.
WASHINGTON. June 16. In addition to
Brigadier Generals T. H. Barry and W.
P. ' Uuvall. who were designated some
lime ago. Captain Peter E. Traub, Thir
teenth Cavalry, and Captain Herman C.
Schumin, Twenlyninth field battery, both
now stationed at Fort Ix?avenworth, will
go to Berlin to represent the United
States army at the German army ma
neuvers in September this year.
Pass Three Biff Bills This Week.
WASHINGTON. June 16.-A conclusion
was reached late this afternoon by House
leaders whereby the meat inspection bill,
the pure food bill and the immigration
bill are. all to be passed next week in
the order named.
Diplomatic Bill Signed.
WASHINGTON. June 16. President
Roosevelt late this afternoon approved
the diplomatic and consular appropria
tion bill.

Trouble has arisen between Japan and
Russia regarding the new Russian Consul-General
In Corea, M. Platcon, owing
to difficulties over his exequatur, which
Russia holds must be signed by the Em
peror f Corea, while Japan declines to
indorse that view, holding the Mikado to
be the proper source.
Dalny will be opened by the Japanese
government as a free port, this move be
ing clue to the efforts to draw the trade
of Manchuria from Yingkow. Russians at
Vladivostok are agitating for the opening
of that port.

A RECORD THAT
. SAYS MUCH FOR US
PORTLAND AND VICINITY BUY
UP NEARLY $140,000 WORTH
Or PIANOS IN 30 DAYS.
Great Closing Out Sale of Eilers
Piano House Ended Last Night
New Lease on Upstairs and Upper
Portion of the Old Block Signed
at Eleventh Hour, Meaning a Sav
ing in Rent of Over $39,000 for the
Five Years' Term.
The tremendous wealth and purchasing
power of the populace of the Pacific
Northwest was forcefully exemplified in
the closing-out sale of the retail stock of
Eilers Piano House, which sale ended last
night. Over six hundred of the very fitt
est and most costly musical instruments,
such as pianolas, pianola pianos, orches
trelies, baby grand and parlor grand
pianos, regular pianos, and organs were
snapped up in about thirty days' time.
It Is very doubtful whether any city
boasting twice, yes, even four times the
population of ours can truthfully claim
credit for such a great record. It demon
strates the great prosperity of this great
Western community, and also the great
interest manifested in music everywhere.
The sales each dav were limited only by
the-ability of the "selling force to wait
upon customers, and mattv days, there
were 25, yes. even :U, instruments found
buyers. ' Last Friday was banner day
exactly 47 instruments having found buy
ers from morning until 10 P. M. Even
yesterday the store was crowded, and to
morrow morning the sale of the remain
ing few instruments will be continued in
the lower or downstairs warerooms. Hy
Monday night all will no doubt have been
sold.
Meanwhile, plans will be completed in a
few days for a complete remodeling of the
premises, on the upper floor of which, and
in the corner of the. Park and Washington
street side, we were fortunate at the
eleventh hour to secure a new five years'
lease, commencing some time in October.
The new arrangement does not cover the
old retail warerooms. but instead of this
the entire second floor of the block will
be occupied, together with the upper or
western corner of the building, where
formerly Aeolian' Recital Hall afid the
general offices of the concern were lo
cated. This, while securing to the firm a
saving in rent amounting to exactly $31).ojio
for the fire years' term of the new lease,
will eventually give Eilers Piano House a
larger display space than ever before.
The second floor of the building is now
occupied by the Portland Business Col
lege, which popular institution has made
arrangements for fine quarters in t lie new
building to be erected at the corner or
Tenth and Morrison streets. It is figured
that this building will be finished by Octo
ber 1, at which time possession can be
given to Kilers PialX House. Many
changes decidedly for the tetter will then
be made in the building.
Many alterations are contemplated, and
the firm will spare no expense to make
this building the finest and most conven
ient musical instrument house in the
United States. Meanwhile, of course, and
until these changes are completed. Kilers
Piano House retires from the retail field.
Many Alterations.
It is planned entirely to remodel the
lower floor, putting in a solid plate-glass
front in the south and western portion of
the building. Famous little Aeolian Hail
will be revived in the extreme eastern
second-floor portion of the block, and will
be made exactly twice the size of the for
mer one. A considerable portion of the
second floor will be arranged in a series
of well-appointed music studies, hand
somely and conveniently arranged and
beautifully decorated.
The general offices will be removed to a
mezzanine floor that will be provided In
the northwestern part of the building,
affording an airy and well-lighted aeeounr
ing department. On the second floor will
be located the main salesrooms. In addi
tion to converting a large portion upstairs
for use as the recital hall, referred to
above, there will be located also the Aeo
lian Circulating Library and Parlors for
Talking Machines and records, it is need
less to say that every attention will be
paid to the arrangement of the hall with
regard to acoustics, ventilation, furnish
ings, including a concert pipe organ and
grand piano on the stage.
Modern electric elevators, together with
broad and convenient stairs, will be pro
vided, as well a-s a fireproof vault Willi a
special intetior, furnishings and equip
ment. A Really New Eilers Piano House.
Thus Portland will again hoast of a
thoroughly appointed and strictly up-to-date
musical establishment, not surpassed
anywhere in the United States, and while
the great amount of rebuilding and re
modeiing will delay the oening of the
new retail establishment until pretty well
along towards the first of the year, the
news that Kilers Piano House will retain
practically its former location on upper
Washington street, converting the block
into a most modern piano emporium, win
be received with a great deal of satisfac
tion, not only by the coterie of local art
ists and musicians and the music-loving
public generally, but also by real estate
men and Washington-street 'merchants,
several of whom have brought much in
fluence to bear in the endeavor to have
Eilers Piano House remain In the old
established location.
Offices and Library Here.
Temporarily. The Oregonian Premium
Talking Machine Department, where the
distribution of Victor and Columbia rec
ords is being carried on, will be found in
the upper corner of the old toilers Piano
House, in the front part of the rormcr
Recital Hall.
In the rear portion of this Fame hall
space will be provided for the Aeolian
Circulating library, so that this service
will be extended to Pianola owners unin
terruptedly, same as before.
Kvory one of the remaining fine pianos,
several Pianola pianos one Baby Grand,
numerous organs, several Pianolas and
two Orchestrelles, will have been either
sold or removed from the old premises bv
this evening, and Eilers Piano House, In
sofar as active retailing is concerned, will
be a thing of the past, at lea-st until later
in the year.
Telephone number will remain as here
tofore. Priv. Ex. 23. and the city offices
will be found scattered throughout the
corner, wherever work will be least inter
fered with by contractors and builders.
