REVISE THE TARIFF
"T4ittime has come when we should prepare for a revision
of the tariff. It seems to me that before the present session
closes some provision should be made for the collection of
material which would enable the congress elected next fall
, to act immediately on the matter after it comes into existence.
This necessitates some action by the present congress, as this
congress is in shape for directing the, proper committees to
gather the necessary information." President Roosevelt.

Chicago, March 25. Officii Is of rail
roads generally feel that the turning
point has come In . the attacks on the
railroads by the public and that the re
cent decisions of the supreme court in
tne matter of state regulation will have
a 'powerful effect of good on their fu
ture. Tney also expect it to have a
beneficial effect upon business in gen

restoring confidence in railway securi
ties. It Is not, expected, however, that
there wlU be an immediate change on
the policy of retrenchment which the

Portland Is not the only city with bridges that are shaky. It has
been found that New York's big bridge connecting the city with Wil
liamsburg has developed structural weakness, which necessitates its be
ing closed to railroad traffic nn til It can be. strengthened. The photo
diagram herewith given shows how the bridge is to be mads strong
enough to bear traffic. New York and other cities repair or provide new
bridges where the structures become weak. Portland should do like

London, March 26. "Old Drury Lane,"
one of the most famous theatres In the
world, was .burned to. the ground. early
this morning. It Is the third time theft
the famous playhouse has been on fire
slnoe the first structure was erected by
KUllgrew in 1J.
Drury Lane has played an important
part In the history of the English drama
since the reign of Elisabeth. It was
one of the houses known as private
theatres in Elisabethan davs and was
called the Cock-Fit or the Phoenix. It
was roofed over and was one of the few
theatres In which performances were
given' summer and winter. The stage
was Illuminated by tallow candles.
Pepy's speaks of the new building which
was oeing constructed in covent war
den. .
SeboUt in 1673.
It was destroyed bv flr in lf!72 and
rebuilt by-- Sir Chrlstonher Wren In
1874. In 1791 . the bulldlnsr was torn
down and a new building, considered at
that time &' model of elegance ami
beauty, was-put up by Holland. In 1809
Are again destroyed the building, while
Sheridan. . the dramatist and owner or

"Rejected Addresses."
Some additions were made to the
building, such as the Doric portico on
Catherine street and the colonnade on
Little Kussell street The structure
was a Drown-DricK arrair. uciv nut non

drama. It was successively the home
of French hippodrome, pantomime, a

of Balfe's English operas, then came
Augustus Thomas property and of late
has been used for the presentation of
the famous Knelisli pantomimes. It
has been closed since the end of the
pontomime season in February, but was
to have reopened April 18.
Practically all of the famous English
actors and Hctresnea and many of the
great American thespians have played
in Drury Lane. It has also seen the
first productions of more classic plays
and operas than has any other .English
