Singer Attracts Throng.
Mora than usual Interest waa manl
f rated In Mary Garden by tha bla;
audience that greeted her at the Ar
mory lat nlarht. one of the moat bril
liant and representative that ever met
together In concert In this city. It
mlvht be termed Impious to hint ttat
her appearance had w ith It the roar of a
war march, with aurroundtnaTs of bat

the a; ray mlata of tha Scotch hills. Mary

Fifteen year" residence In Paris and
other succeeding- years that ahe has
passed on the grand opera stare as
n of the bent modern exponents of
the French school of opera have fash
ioned Mary Garden with an added Gallic
personality and air. She does not be
binar to that rla of German prima
donne. a la Oadakl. with whom we are
familiar In this rlty.
1rl Aria Pnislea. Win.
Although Mary Garden Is a dramatic
soprano, there ta nothing of "Valkyrie's
fry" OVagner about her. and that
I why the audience was at first puxxled
and then critical when ahe began to sing
he selection with which she won her
first fame as an opera singer In Parte
the aria from Charpenttrr'a Txiulse."
For "new" music this aria Is dramatic,
trmnestuou and splendidly emotional,
without oelntr Incoherent, and Ml
Garden sang It well. It Just suited her
Impassioned style. She was recalled
and waa presented with a bouquet of
I'arollne Tea tout roses, and like the
brn act re -a that ahe l. aha took one
of the roses and placed It In tha bosom
of her lovely, ahlnlnc. white gown. Her
encore was "t'omln" Through the Rye.""
and ahe sang It with a coquettish,
merry grace that clearly showed bee
Scotch blood, while her accent was. of
course, perfect.
Mi.-s Garden's rendition of tha aria
from Massenet's "Thale" gave more
free. lorn to her dramatic, appeatlng

awoke. She owned the audience from
that minute, and completed her con

accepting the recall, and smiling and

a hearty, double recall she sang "Annie

ONE BATILESHIP ENOUGH

OREGON'IAN NEWS ItrREAI Wash
ington. June t. The I democratic Ilous
Intends to mak It difficult for th Tart
Administration to keep on with th
two-battleahlp-a-year programme that
was begun under President Roosevelt.
In fact, th Hous committee on naval
affair haa declared riatly,tbat on bat
tleship year Is enough, and In this
opinion most of the Democratic mem
ber concur.
Representative llobson. of Alabama,
th nro of th aterrlroac. of course
takea a different view, for fa would
build half a dosrn battleships every
year. But llobson has no followers on
either aide of the House, and In shaping
th Democratic lrslslatlve programme
cuts no figure.
The Democrats l ave always opposed
two battleship a year, but when they
wer In th minority their opposition
counted for naught, and the Republi
can majority always stood by the Ad
ministration. Now that the Democrats
have a good big majority of their own.
the House will vote for a alngle battle
ship, and If the Senate undertakes to
amend the bill bv adding another bat
tlosblp. the House will undoubtedly
stand out on conference, and Is likely
to win.
From the Democratic standpoint two
battleships a year are pur extrava
gance. These big ehlpa cost from $1.
0.eo0 to 111.001.00 .ach to build, and
their upkeep average about II 000.000
a year additional. The bills that th
Democrat!" House baa have thua far
passed will reduce the revenue of th
Government about 110.000.00 annually,
ao that, by cutting off one battleship,
this tariff tinkering will not crest, a
deficiency In th treasury. To I demo
crats had tMa in mind when they agreed
to block the appropriation for two
battleship. Where they would further
economise. If they could mak still
further reductions In the tariff, la yet
to be seen. They propose to begin on
th Navy, as that Is th safest plac
to reduc. appropriation.

SEATTLE SLAVE CENTER
INVESTIGATORS FROM ECROPE
CLASS IT WITH CHICAGO.
Girls lured From Sweden and
German- br 1600 Traders, and
Ruined in This Country.
CHRISTIANIA. Jun S. Following a
recent conference of societies concerned
with th aiding of young women, inter
national action Is contemplated to
check more effectively th white slave
traffic, which affecta Scandinavia and
Oermany more than any parts of Eu
rope. Seattle and Chicago are th worst
American receiving pointa of the traffic,
according to Investigators here: and
up and down Scandinavia and Germany
fully 1500 traders In this Infamous in
dustry are known to have been . ope
rating In the past year.
The method usually adopted Is to de
coy the girls away by promises of fine
situations, but Investigations have
proved fully a third of these offers are
merely screens for ulterior objects.
Madame Mltchelet. of Chrlstlanla, de
clares her Inquiries have proved It is
not the poor girls who fall the easiest vic
tims, but the well-to-do and pampered
girls, who either grow discontented and
want to "see life" or are suddenly left
unprotected and blind to the dangers
about them.
An English society has In a. short
time saved 1200 Scandinavians while en
route for foreign destinations, and has
exposed several trafflcers. But the con
ditions that surround the trad are ap
palling and the absolute checking of the
ruin mongers seems as far off as ever.

"Where Nature Provides.
Consular Report.
In Jamaica 75 per cent of the 155.051
landed properties are valued at less
than 1200 each. Nearly all of these
small holdings are owned by negroes
who live chiefly on salt flsh and on
fruit and vegetables, especially yams
grown by themselves. Being able to
live in this manner with little exertion
these peasant proprietors are averse
to entering Into contracts to labor by
the year or even by the month. Hence,
In spite of the fact that 95 per cent of
the 862.000 Inhabitants of Jamaica are
negroes (Including mulattoes), it is
necessary to employ East Indian coolies
on the larger sugar and banana plan
tations, on which there must be a cer
tain proportion of laborers who may .
be relied upon for steady work at all
times. .
The Lost Ten Tribes. '
C H. Cornlll In "Tha Prophets of
- Israel."
Such members of the ten tribes of
Israel as were carried away In the year
722 have disappeared without a trace,
and if that branch of the Semites com
monly known as Aramaic has never
exhibited a distinct ethnographical
typo in history, the fact may be
ascribed to the 500 years' dominion ot
th Assyrians in those regions, who
from the earliest times systematically
eradicated the national features of con
quered countries.
