VISITS THE STUDIO OF
SCULPTOR MAGNUSSEN.
The Kaiser and Empress Victoria EX-
anime the Latest Model of Bismarck
and Pronounce 1t Remarkable.


BERLIN, Jan. t9.-Yesterday Emperor
William and Empress Augusta Victoria
visited the studio Of sculptor Herr Mag
nussen to see the statue of Frederick
the Great. which the painter, Atolph
Menzel. had recently highly praised to
the emperor, advising him to see 1t. On
entering the studio the kaiser laughingly
reminded the sculptor that he himself
sat as a model for him when the dow
ager Empress Frederick took her two
eldest children to the studio OF Magnus-
sens father, who was also an artist.
After a long time in silence the emperor
said:
THAT must so into the death cham
Der at Sans Souch." A moment later
he remarked:
"The mastery over the soul of the
failing body is very striking, He looks
as though he wanted to lift himself up
again and speak" After studying the
bust Of the late Prince Bismarck, mod
eled just before his death, he pronounced
the likeness remarkable, saying: Hun
dreds will stand before it and say Bis
marck never looked like that; and yet
well. tbs only for connoiseurs."
In the course OF the conversation he told
the sculptor that he might well bc proud
Of Herr Menzels opinion, adding; Il
trust entirely to his Judgment" He
also promised Magnussen an order for
a statue in the Sieges-Allee, or avenue
of victory one of the most fashionable
promenades in Berlin. saying; 81 shall
choose very hard theme, as I see you
can easily overcome difficulties"

REBELS AGAINST is TO |.

MILWAUKEE,, Jan. l9.-The Journal
today prints a letter, written by Edward
c. Wall a Wisconsin member OF the DEM
ocratic national committee, in which he
says: 1T Is my belief that the doctrine
Of l6 to is neither democratic nor

fact. entirely opposed to both. I, with
many others. accepted the platform in
1896, not because of that declaration, but
Notwithstanding it. and at this time 1t

Improvement Of streets, was sent 10 the
street committee and tho other. pro-
vldlng for the exemption OF manufac-
tories from taxes. went 20 the ways and
means committee. The latter committee
reported favorhbly on the suggestion last
night and the report was unanimously
adopted. The city attorney was Instructed
70 prepare the necessary amendment and
forward II TO the clatsop county delega-
ton a, Salem. This amendment will ex-
empi from city taxation for a period OF
i've years all new manufactures or other
Industries employing q or more white
persOns. The idea iB 20 encourage out

Mr. Welch's other recommendation was
that the street superintendent be auth
orized 10 patch streets the work 10 be
paid FOR by the city. The street com
mit,eo reported adversely on the matter
giving AZ a reason that future street
committees might take the law in a
broader sense than intended. and that
tho delegation OF such power TO commit

The council concurred In the committees

SHORT LINE TRANSFER DELAYED.

NEW YORK. Jan. 19.-The fact de-
veloped today that the transfer OF the
Oregon Short Line to the Union Pacific,
which the directors Of the latter road
have been empowered to make, is likely
to be delayed by a suit brought by c. H.
venner, Of Boston. as a Union Pacific
shareholder against the road in which he
is in a small way identified. A meeting
of the stockholders Of the Union Pacific
was held at Salt Lake City January 10.
when authority was given the Union Pa
cific board to increase the common stock
to s2S.0OO.OOO in order to take over the
Short Line. This matter will be consld-
cred in the early part Of next month. A
director of the Union Pacific said today
that the Venner suit is likely to delay the
transfer, but the argument which he pre-
sents will cause no permanent trouble.
