NEW MUSIC HOUSE
 HAS FINE OPENING
CABLE COTS ESTABLISHMENT ON SECOND AVENUE RACTS CROWDS OF CULTURED PEOPLE. TASTE IN DECORATIVE ART.

The Cable company music house, 1916 Second avenue was formally opened yes- terday, and hundreds of people who vis- tied the place marveled not only at the splendid stock of pianos and other in- struments displayed. but at the elegance of the appointments. decorations and furnishings The opening was indeed a notable event.
 MT. J. E. Colby, the manager, has proved himself a man of rare taste as well as commercial enterprise. Every part of the Cable company's three-story building is utilized and is opened to the public, and each floor is beautifully deco rated. The first floor Is used as a gen. eral sales room. The second floor is fitted up as a recital hall. with a stage and 300 seats, and on the third are piano trial rooms and a grand suite of five parlors, with rich color schemes, the wall deco ratlons, the carpeting and the upholster- ing of each room blending perfectly. Diff ferent styles and grades of pianos man ufactured by the Cable company are displayed in these parlors.
 An elevator is operated in the back part of the building for the accommoda- tion of purchasers and all people inter- ested in matters musical and since the parlors in the top of the house are so convenient of access. they are sure to be rendezvous for the musical set. The sliding doors between the parlsrs were thrown open yesterday and the sweeping vista was wonderfully effective.
 All the apartments were garnished in evergreen yesterday during the day and evening the Jefferson theatre orchestra played bright and stirring music.
 The Cable company carries a large stock of pianos, Conovers. Hamlin and Masons, Cables, Kingsburys and Yelling tons, and also a full assortment of small instruments and sheet music. The com panys principal factory is located near Chicago and it's headquarters are in Chicago. It has branch houses in many cities.

right and left swings to the face. In a clinch, Referee Rich had his hands full separating the belligerents. Britt then sent Nelson's head back with left hook, and followed it with left swing to the jaw. Then Britt once more sent his left to the jaw and followed it with two right swings and a left hook to the face. The fighting was fearful, Britt wading in with right and left swings to Nelson's jaw, and the gong changed, de- noting that the battle was over.
 Referee Rich promptly awarded the de- cision to Britt. The decision was greeted with mingled cheers and missing.

MOROS AT BOTTOM
 OF ALL THE TROUBLE
GENERAL WOOD SAYS OFFICERS IN THE PHILIPPINES ARE IN THE MAIN sATIsFAcToRY-ALL QUIET IN JoLo.

Washington, December a-General Wood, commanding the district of Min dinao, Philippine division in his annual report to the war department says that the troops of the district have been in the field great portion of the year quelling armed uprsngs and preventing slave trade and kindred abuses He says that in almost every instance actual fighting was initiated by the Moros
 Conditions among the Moros through out the department are generally peace full the general says.
 ''The establishment of civil government and the extension over them of certain laws and regulations has caused some excitement and at times serious resist ance, especially the law prohibiting slav- cry. In some sections active hostility has been engendered by our presence, espec- ially in the Lake Lanao region where al- most constant murderous attacks on workingmen and soldiers were the rule until the effects of the recent expedi- tions to the Taraca side of the lake com bined with expeditions to other sections of Lanao were felt by the Moros."
 The power of the Moros of that sec ton. he says, has been completely broken.
 Continuing the report says:
 Tn Jolo affairs are quiet. The prompt crushing of Hasaans uprising has made deep impression on the people and the abrogation of the Bates agreement has done much to bring to an end the un- fortunate conditions which existed un- der it'
 Dato Ali's party, the report adds. is the only band of Moros now openly hos tile and 1t is small and is being follow cd by troops and scouts. General Wood says it is believed there will not be any serious resistance of authority by the Moros In the future but there will be con stant work of a police character requiring the use of troops and constabulary
 The report shows that trials by gen eral courts martial lave diminished for enlisted men and increased for officers.

right swings to the jaw. Britt kept after Nelson mercilessly, begging away with left straight to the face. Nelson tried to get to close quarters. but Britt iabbed three lefts to the face, and they went against the ropes in a clinch. Britt again stabbed left to the face and in a mix Nelson landed right to face. Britt changed his style with left hook to body and Nelson slipped to the floor from a missed left swing.

Sinuinu Mice,

A resident of London writes as fol-
lows about singing mice: I'VE had
never heard of their existence until
fortnight ago, when we arrived from
the continent and went into lodgings
in an old house just off Oxford circus.
The first night we were awakened by
loud singing, as a number Of birds, and
our first impression was that some one
kept nightingales in cages. The next
morning the landlady informed us they
were singing mice we had heard, and
she had read of them when her dodgers
began to hear the min the walls. When
we clapped our hands we could hear
the mice running away in the walls,
and when all was still they began
again their concert. 1t was not
squeaking or chirping, but sustained
singing as Of canaries in cage"

As Maine Goes.

The Republicans of Maine, who are
right on the border and know Just
what is involved in the proposition to
enter upon free trade with Canada in
natural products only, adopted the
following resolution at their state
convention in Bangor few days ago:
1.-THE Republican party stands for
the reciprocity of Blaine and Arthur
and Harrison and Mckinley and Ding.
ley, which covers the interchange
with foreign countries of articles
which we do not produce, and our
own products needed In such coun.
tries. 1t opposes such reciprocity
with Canada as will flood our market
with Canadian lumber, fish, hay, po-
tatoes and other farm products. as it
would seriously embarrass many Of
Names important industries and es.
pecially that of agriculture. Under
present arrangements our trade with
Canada is constantly increasing, with
the balance largely in our favor. We
believe in letting well enough alone"
"As Maine goes, so goes the
Union" used to be said regarding ma
tional elections. The saying is true
to-day regarding reciprocity in COM
petitive products.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1904-08-18

deners fare as against the competi'
ton OF cheaper Canadian produce
sent over the line free OF duty? How
would the border state farmers fare
who depend upon the home market
for their hay, oats, barley, poultry,
eggs, ETC.?
The Democratic party would be lib
eral toward the Canadians who want
to sell their lumber, their coal, their
iron ores and their fish in the Amer
lean market. But how about the lum-
Der workers of Maine, Michigan, Wis
cousin. Minnesota and Washington?
How about the coal miners Of North
Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and
Washington? How about the thou
sands of New England families who
are supported by the fishing indus
try? Every one of the interests
named would suffer sorely from the
unrestricted competition Of cheaper
labor and lower market values in
Canada.
It is known that the liberal policy
Of the Democratic party with refer
ence to foreigners, as carried out in
the Democratic tariff law Of 1894.
cost the farmers of the United States
FIVE billion dollars in four years.
Foreigners have reason to admire
Democratic liberality. There is not
a foreign producing country in the
world to-day that would not rejoice
over Democratic victory in the
election of 1904. Every one Of them
knows that such a victory would
mean lower tariffs and the privilege
OF taking possession Of the greatest
Of the worlds markets. Americans,
however, have no such cause to vel
come the advent OF Democratic liber-
allty. The Democratic party never
yet passed tariff law that was lib
eral to American producers, and 1t
never will.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1904-08-18

I'VE favor liberal trade arrange
ments with Canada and with peoples
OF other countries where they can
be entered into with benefit to Amer
lean agriculture, manufactures, min
ing or commerce.-Democra plat
form, 1904"
Liberal to whom? Why, to the Ca
nadians and peoples of other coun-
tries, of course. The Democratic
party has an unbroken record Of lib
erality to foreigners in the shape Of
low duties and no duties on importa-
tion from foreign countries that com
pete with domestic production.
A liberal trade treaty with Canada,
for example, would mean free trade
In natural products only. Canada
has given ample notice that she will
not consent to free trade in, or even
to any reduction of tariff upon, manu-
features from the United States. So,
If the Democratic party is going to
be liberal in making a trade treaty,
it is restricted to the removal of tar
if duties upon Canadian products of
the farm, the fishery, the forest and
the mine.
The Democratic party would be lib
eral toward the growers of Canadian
wheat in enabling them to dispose of
their cheaper-grown crops across the
border instead of being obliged to
ship them to Liverpool. But what
about the wheat growers of the
United States who farm higher-priced
lands and pay double the Canadian
wages for farm labor-how would
they fare under this avalanche Of
cheaper wheat from the cheaper and
more productive soil Of the Canadian
Northwest? How would the New
England and New York market gar
