There can be no doubt that in
the western portion of the country
there is strong feeling among repub-
licans in favor of both reciprocity and
a withdrawal of protection from trust
controlled products. It will not do,
however, to build up too much hope
for tariff reform upon this circum-
stance alone. Western republicans

the end the eastern wing has absolute

SMALL AMOUNT OF IRON
 IMPORTED FROM GERMANY

Washington, September g. Specially The activity of German manufacturers and exporters is illustrated by some figures regarding the imports of pig iron into Germany and the exports of Iron and steel manufactures, which have just reached the Treasury Bureau of statis- tics. They show that the importations of pig iron increased from 462,00o tons in 1897 to SSO,00O in 1900, and those of rough ironware, from 4S,OoO tons In 1897 to 7S,- 900 tons in 1900; while the exports of iron and ironware increased during the same period from S2 million dollars value to 11S millions; machines, from 30 millions to 45 millions: rolling stock and ships (not wood), from millions to millions; making the total increase in these three items of iron and ironware, machines
 and rolling stock and ships, from III million dollars to 172 millions In a period of three years. Expectations of ma chimes, chiefly of cast iron, increased from 11S,1O tons in 1897 to 167, 900 tons in 1900; those of wrought iron, from 22,00O to

A PADEREWskI INTERVIEW
England's Need of State-Aided Music
 Plans for New Opera.

From the London Mall.
 M Paderewski was interviewed by Daily Mall representative recently upon the British taste for music.
 Only at the rarest interview does the world-famous pianist appear in the pub lie eye otherwise than at the keyboard, but on this occasion, in quiet chat at his London chambers, he expressed his views upon the need for further musical culture in this country.
 The distinguished musician was dressed in the loose coat and the soft open neck wear which have been made familiar to the people by photo shops on both hemi- spheres, and the morning light from the window fell upon the rich reddish tumult of his famous hair.
 You ask me what think of the British taste for music?" he said quietly, toying with his cigarette.
 Well" he added "you have the love of music innate within you. What Eng land needs now is more opportunity, more musical culture.
 You have now permanent orchestra, and have the greatest esteem and ad- miration for MT. Wood $ talent but what is needed in England Is one stage set apart for British composers and aided by the state or municipality.
 Look at Germany, for instance. In my opinion, Germany is not more musical than England by nature, but she is by culture.
 Germany owes a great deal of erati- tude. In this respect, to her, small courts, which support and protect musical art In the most generous way. In the smallest towns in Germany where there Is prince or a reigning duke they have the finest theaters and orchestras and are really re- markedly developed in the artistic way.
 .t. l.. ing duke there are municipalities whicn understand their duty toward art. If such bodies existed In England it would be a good thing for the people. The English people love concerts; those at Manchester, Liverpool, Glasgow as well as the London performances, are all we'll filled.
 "Opera cannot support itself. That is a well-established fact. It must be support ed by the crown, or by the municipality. Of course, I mean, in this case. not the opera such as that at your Covent Gar den, which runs for few weeks only, and that just at the height of the season. I mean a permanent musical theater. For there must be constant study.
 Tt is painful to think that in the great est city in the world the musical theater Is not on the same level as in some small towns in Germany
 Let me instance Saxony. The King of Saxony has only a small private fortune. Yet he devotes 60O,000 marks (fs0, ,0OO year to opera. If he can give f3o,OO0. could not the city corporation or the London county council easily set aside, say, f2O,- 0o! That would probably be quite suff- cient for the purpose, for, you see, you have so many more people to go to the opera here than the comparative few there are in Dresden.
 Nowadays. art is necessity of life. It ought to be looked upon by your public bodies as being within their necessary care In much the same way as they look

ss5OO tons; boilers, from 44OO to 540o tons; carding machines and their clothing, from 270 to 800 tons: while locomotives and loeomobiles fell from 13,200 to 12,SOO tons. On the other hand, imports have also grown; those of iron and ironware increased from r million dollars in 1897 to 30 millions in 1900; machines, from 10 millions to 19 millions; machines, chiefly of cast iron, increased from 51,5O0 tons to 6s 400 tons; those of wrought iron $500 tons to $500; and those of wood from 1900 to 45OO tons; while locomotives and locomobiles increased from S04o to 4S00 tons, and sewing machines from S03O to 400 tons.
 The importation of pig iron was chief ly from the United Kingdom, being In 1899, 670,0O0 tons from the United King dom, and S0,sO0 from the United States. The growth from 1897 to 1899 was chiefly in that imported from the United King dom, the increase from that country be- ing 14O0OO tons, while from the United State was only a little more than 1000 tons.

 The conversation was then changed, and M. Paderewski was asked about his opera "Manru," which had such a brilliant re- ception when produced recently at Ores den. The great musician was 10th to talk about 'Manru," for he felt that to do so was to talk about himself.
 'Its future? It was to be played in Prague, in Warsaw, and probably also In Cologne this season. MT. Grau is going to produce 1t in New York next season.

 "Nearly 200 ladies and gentlemen will be brought over from Dresden, and all for just a few weeks. There are about eighty in the chorus and twenty in the ballet.

 So he went on with characteristic mod esty, willing to talk about anybody but himself.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Chilled cookery of various kinds has won great popularity during the last few years, and is a sign of the increase of the people who appreciate good food. There was time. not long ago, when the only cold courses at luncheon would be the ices and it never seemed to occur to housekeepers or caterers that anything else could or would be cold, says the Boston Herald. Innovations gradually ap- peared until now there are several cold courses at a formal dinner. Cold dishes in the ordinary family meals are also rapidly winning favor with the house. keepers, especially in the summer bill of fare.
 The cheapness of ice and its general use make chilled cookery comparatively simple. In foreign countries ice Is con- sidered one of the luxuries of the very rich.
 The hors d'oeuvres as they are termed on the bill of fare. such as olives, rad ishes, celery, etc, should have crushed ice on them so as to be thoroughly chilled before being served.
 Bouillon and consomme are both served iced and even frozen for the beginning of luncheon or dinner Some of the most attractive dishes can be made with aspie, moulded with meat, eggs or fish.
 It Is considered very troublesome and expensive by some and only within the compass of an expert cook, but is exceed ingly simple.
 How to Make Aspie.
 Use one pint of good consomme, or clear soup, either chicken or beef It must be very clear. You can use the can bouillon, which is much less trouble. Unless the bouillon Is highly seasoned cook in 1t for 15 minutes a slice of carrot, stalk of celery, and half an onion. Soak half a box of gelatine in half a cup of cold wa ter. Pour the boiling consomme upon the soaked gelatine; add a tablespoon of sherry wine, salt and. pepper; strain through cheese cloth. If you wish to use the aspie merely as a garnish, put In a shallow pan, and when cold cut in fancy shapes.
 If you wish to mould meat, pour in a little aspie in the bottom of the mold and allow it to become partially cold. Then arrange with care your meat, and pour the remainder of the jelly over it and set away to cool. Such a variety of dishes can be made in this manner.
 Tongue in aspie makes a most attrac- tive luncheon dish. With very little ex- tra trouble you can put your aspie in sups and in that way form individual molds.
 Many of the little appetizers with which large dinners begin are nice for the fam fly luncheon, sandwiches made of ancho- vies, caviare or cheese daintily prepared. ads ,ydvpushrdl mfwy mfwy mfwy rdl W
