Musical at the Preble House.

The musical soiree given Friday after
honse was an extremely enjoyable event
if one was to judge by the enthusiasm
manifested by the large and fashiona BILE
audience present and Mr.. George W. Oak
man whose undertaking this was, received
many congratulations on tho success Of
the affair. Mr.. Oakman as is generally
known is the personal representative of
the Chickering pianos and having several
specimens of these! superb instruments
on exhibition at the Preble house it is
but natural to suppose that this event
was brought about to promote an inter
est in these pianos.
This seems a unique way of advertising
and Mr.. Oakman has IN eye to business.
Mr.. James Mclaughlin the young man
who took prominent part in the pro-
gramme although a stranger to Portland
audiences is one of the most talented
of age yet his playing of the most diff
cult compositions of the old and modern
masters is truly wonderful. He comes
from a family of musicians and has had
the best of instruction by the leading
professors in Boston. He is also an able
organists SO we are told and holds q
prominent position in one of the Catholic
churches near Boston. AS solo per-
former on the cornet he ranks with some
of the best. he has had the honor to
appear with Baldwin's Cadet Band as
soloist on several occasions as the won
derful boy cornetist.
Mr.. Charles j. Marshall the baritone
who sung on this occasion has rich mu-
steal voice of the true baritone quality.
Mr.. Marshall IS an artist as may be
judged when it is known that he has ap-
peared in salos in oratorios given at
the musical festivals in Worcester in
which city he stood quits prominent in
his profession for mum Der of years.
During the past two years he has been
located in Bangor where fattering offers
were extended to him as an Involvement
to locate there. He is the organizer and
director Of the Gunode Club there con-
sisting of IS of the best singers in the
city and his efforts with the club have
been most successful.
The trio playing by Mr.. and Mrs. Oak
man and Carl (piano, cello and violin in
the order namely was pleasant feature
of the afternoon. 1t is not often that such
talent is found to exist in family circles
and this fact tends to make their en-
sernble playing all the more satisfactory.
What they undertake to do they do we'll
which is commendable in them. The
cello is becoming fashionable instru-
ment for ladies and Mrs. Oakman made
a pleasing impression In her part Of the
programme. OF Carl Oakman's violin
playing we can add nothing to what we
have already said regarding his artistic
efforts at the Rosslnni concert here in
the winter. He is destined to reach a
high position i'll his art. The Beethoven
sonata played by HIM and Mr.. McLaugh-
lin was admirably rendered and was
something to be relnem bored.
Mr.. George W. Oakman was the c.
companist and displayed ability showing
that he was accustomed to the business,
We must not forget to mention that the
one great feature which added to the
pleasure of the whole affair was the beau
tiful Chickering grand and upright used.

FOUR OR FIVE DAYS LONG.
st. Louis Convention Will Not Transact Its
Business in Hurry.

st. Louis Convention Will Not Transact Its
Business in a Hurry.
st. Louis, June ia general desire
obtains to figure out how long the con-
vention is likely to last.
There being little doubt as to the
nomination of Major Mckinley for the
Presidency, 1T was taken for granted at
first that the convention would finish up
it's work in two or three days, so as to
adjourn not later than on Thursday eve
ming. The outlook, however, is not
promising for such speed.
= The resolution committee will of course
sit at the same time as the credentials
committee and the fight over the plat
form will be progressing while the con-
tests are being heard. 1t is figured out
that the delegates will be in luck if they
can gee chance at the platform on Fri :
day morning and the silver men say they
not only will make their fight in the
committee but will debate the platform
on the floor of tho convention and will
resist vigorously any speedy action on
the previous question. 1t looks as though
the session would last for four or five
days, probably winding up on Saturday.

PLAT'r SPEAKS.


q Democratic governor brought about
the deadlock and prevented Delaware
from receiving its proper representation
in the United States Senate. Talk to
me of honor and decency in politics., :"
said the Senator, II tell you here and
now | would not vote for Edward Ad-
dicks if his vote were needed to make the
next President of the United States, and
if the necessity demands, / will repeat
that statement upon the floor of tile

Two rounds of applause followed the
Senator's declaration. r. @. Kerens then
moved that all of the AGdioks delegates,
with the exception of Addicks, himself,
be put upon the temporary roll.
Senator Thurston declared that on the
floor of the convention be would speak
and vote to unseat the. entire delegation.
Numerous speeches and motions were
made, all taking the ground that Addlcks
was not Republican and would not be
recognized as such.
Senator Carey of Wyoming, moved that
the Higgins delegation be placed on the
to SO nays. Then the committee, on mo-
ton of Mr.. Switzerland. voted Al to
that it was not willing to place either
delegation on the temporary roll and re-
ferred the entire matter to the National
Republican convention.
The next contest heard by. the commit
tse was that from Arizona. one set OF
delegates neing headed by Henry j..
Cleveland and the other by VIM. N.
Christy. The contest was upon the
question OF vote on adjournment by
the convention. The decision Of the oem-
mittee WAS that both delegations be ad-
mitted with half votes.

Fifth Alabama district was taken up. E.
j. Walker. the solitary contestant has a
preference for Reed, the regular delegate,

National League Stan


Bangor is said to be paying Paul Rad
for,i 5000 month, more than he ever got
in the big league in his life probably. OF
course Bangor's financial affairs are theil
own business, but it seems like waste
of money to pay man that figure when
he could probably have been secured for
half that sum.
Woods and Duncan will be the battery
for Portland in tDday's game. Probably
Magee will pitch for Brookron.
The Lowell Excels, and the Irons will
play today on the Camp grounds at Q p
m. sharp. Toothacher and Edgar; Brin
son and Soule will be the opposing bat
ter1es.
Tim Sheehan arrived in Lewiston last
night and will probably participate in
today's game in that CITY.

JAPAN AS A COMPETITOR IN TRADE

There is a tendency to settle the re-
suit of our manufactures in foreign
countries at lower rates than the prices
obtained at home. This has found nu-
nle-cds exempltfionticns. The twelve
inch Oliver chilled pillow, which is sold
in America today at s11 in American
god, is sold in. Mexico at 81 in Mexican
silver, which in comparison with Amer
lean gold has S71s per cent. discount
Thus the Dlow we sell our people for
Sl1 is sold in Mexico at about 81 in our
currency. When the Singer Sewing ma
chine was sold in America for from
800 to $125, the same machine was be
ing sold in England fcr SIS. We have
not yet adopted this policy wen refer
ence to our commerce with Japan, but
our ability to DO so will give us an ad-
vantage over other foreign products in
thet market. There is a large margin
OF fictitious profit in American mnnu-
features disproportionate to the diff
ference between the rate OF wages paid
in this country and other countries,
which can be eliminated without loss
to cur home producers. According to
the testimony CT the director of the
Eigin watch factory, the most costly
movement placed in any watch costs
the manufacturer but $3.50. while the
most valuable case costs less than $50.
thus watches sold in America for from
SlOO 10 $500 cost the manufacturer but
from S25 to SOW. H. Mills in June

our adoption of that standard in part
is the cause of the present panic, en-
forced idleness and misery among our
people. l believe the gold of the world
is cornered by professional creditors
of the world.
1T is for the interest of the people
of the United States who are debtors,
to make no promise to pay in gold. If
we should do this gold would gradu
ally decline in value and this doctrine
be shown in a rise of prices of all
commodities and take the burden off
the shoulders of the producing and en-
terprising American people. Tariff is
the only issue of Importance for which
the Republican party contends, and
that is no longer an issue between the
parties, for tariff for protection has
become the settled policy of this gov
eminent. The only question at issue
between the advocates of McKinieyism
and those of the Wilson bill is one
of rates OF duty, and the difference in
averaging between the two measures
is a very slight one indeed. This is
conclusdvely proven by the fact that
the Republican party in passing
tariff measure through the House of
representatives last winter adopted
the Wilson bill as a vital issue. What is
tSSSulldl 10 divide men lffl0 great pO-
litical parties cannot be founded on the
question whether duty upon certain
articles shall be Al or 45 per cent. 1
think the time has come when it is
the conscientious duty of every man
who believes we cannot continue to
prosper with gold recommendation, to
exercise his whole strength to prevent
the continuation Of the policy
Il believe the majority of the people
of my state are with me on this ques-
tion. If / am mistaken on the issue,
they will approve or condemn my
course at the polls nett November. 1
have felt impelled to tllis course by a
sense of duty, by deep convictions that
the welfare of my constituents depend
ed upon a proper solution of the ques
ton, and / could not listen to any
argument of personal comfort or in
teresf which might be presented to
turn me from the course which L be-
lieved myself to be impeiled by duty.

Throughout the stnte.

DENVER. June 1S.--The news of the
action of Senator Teller and the Colorado
and Idaho delegations in withdrawing
from the national Republican convention
has been received throughout the state
With the greatest enthusiasm In Denver
there will be demonstration when Sem
ator Teller returns, which will be by
Thursday, and Senator Cannon of Utah
WI be the feature of another demonstra-
ton when he passes through. The min
ing camps are especially jubilant. At
Aspen tonight the hills are revsrberatiag
with the boom of improvised cannon and
at Cripple Creek the streets have been
thronged by enthusiastic crowds all night.
At Pueblo the company of the National
Guard fired a salute of forty-ive guns
when the news of the bot was received,
and in the northern and southern Colo
RADIO towns the joy is unconfined. Sen
ator Teller's name is on every lip and
there is apparently not dissenting voice
to the course he had taken
