El,As TfRRioTiG OLE Bull
rho Greatest Political influence In
Modern Norway.

* the greatest fOi1t1cNl33 lnNuences IN
Modern NORWAY.
What was II tina It nude Ole Bull I'M
deniably the greatest political intu-
ence III the history Of modern Norway?
The riddle is easy to read. Although
he voiced the peasants, his own voice
was that Of no peasant, but one of the
most severely learned of European ut
terances. His instrumental mastery
was complete, and the technical diff
culties Of his compositions have left
them for the most part unperformable.
But Mozart was his chosen theme
worshiped with such an ardor of con-
secration that the whole range of his
works had for him no secret. His
fame. therefore, was Of that order that
opens all doors. Statesmen and chief
captains like Bismarck and Won Motke
were his intimates, and he was their
confdant TO world artists like List
Chopin and Mendelssohn he was own
brother. Indeed, a curious physical
resemblance between List and himself
led to many amusing contretemps on
this score. And sovereigns diplo-
t1AdJiSlSs eSIGdt 4lODiCS1 were 'dll
proud to name him among their friends.
In him, then, Norway had found one
who could stand for her in the highest
ranks of the nations, learn for her the
secrets Of statecraft and recover In
her behalf the track of thinking like a
king. For this is one of the losses en-
tailed on people who are governed
by foreigners from foreign seat-that
they forget to think of their country
as a whole, the habit that is the secret
OF rulers.
Yet 1T was only as man and not
by any means as a politician that an
autocrat could claim the friendship of
the distinguished artist His own SOW
ereign felt that he had cause for grave
offense when the news reached Stock
holm, in 1S4S of his heading pro-
cession in Paris to present the Norwe-
gian colors to Lamartine But even
royal anger could not resist the good
stories told on the next visit, and the
king stood biting his lip at the careless
bonhomie of Ole Bull as he turned
suddenly and said, by The way, sire,
you should have been with us the other
day in Paris when we went to ac-
claim tine."-Margaret e. Noble

Of l4-foot channel for the Mississippi

gulf met defeat when the house in COM
mittee of the whole, during considera-
tion of the rivers and harbors appro-
priation bill, voted to stand by the re-
commentator of the committee in op-
position to the project. Although
there was much speechmaking on the
part of the friends of the measure, they
secured only 43 votes for the amend
ment, as against 415 against it.
Earlier in the day Dalzell of Penn

ing for the continuance of work on dam

feated on test vote which showed that
the chairman of the rivers and harbors
committee, Burton, had large ma or-
ity of the house with him as to any

HAS STRING TO 1T.
Tom johnson Doubts the Sincerity of
Rockefeller's Gifts.

Cleveland, Ohio, Feb. 9.-John d.
Rockefeller's motive in presenting to
the General Education board $32 ,00O,-
600 is regarded as of sordid nature by
Mayor Tom l.. Johnson. In an inter-
view today the mayor said that the gift
was made merely as bid for the per-
petuation OF the special privileges which
the oil king enjoys in his various in
terests. The mayor also regards it as
certain that no educational institution
which pays any particular attention to
the teaching of political economy will
receive a part in the benefits of the gift.
Nearl all the other gifts Rockefeller
has n Ie to schools and colleges are re-
garde N the same light by Mr.. john
son.
WAT sort of gift was it, any
way"' the mayor asked. "It was not
cash, as | understand it. What was il,
then? Let us suppose the case. Was
it Standard Oil stocks? Hardly. Was
it the bonds of cities, states, or perhaps
railways? Most likely it was railway
securities. Every one Of these is a
m ortgage on the future. Some day it
will develop perhaps that the special
privileges which these railroads eniov,
and which the people are becoming ed
ucated more and more every year to
curtail and withdraw, will be threaten.
ed. 1t will result in a sudden sueezing
out OF the water in those stocks.

WILL BE RECORD SESSION.
Oregon Legislature Will Appropriate
About SIS, 100000.

| Salem, Feb. II Unless the legis la
tive pruning knife is applied wisely
and discriminatory, the present legis-
lature will win for itself the designa-
tion of the "$5 900, 900 session." Bills
carrying outright appropriations aggre-
eating $4,000, 1861 have been intro
duced to date, and there remain two
weeks of the session in which further
demands on the treasury may be made.
At any rate, the indications are that
the appropriations of the present legis-
lature will establish new record.
OF this gigantic total, the committee
on ways and means has recommended
favorably bills carrying appropriations
to the amount of 81, ,439, ,200.96.
There are pending in the two houses
other measures carrying 81, 2,34S, 965 .95,
and but one bill making an appropria-
ton, that for the state library commits
sion and carrying $4,000, has passed
both houses, In conjunction with this
estimate of the possible expenditures of
the peoples money, there is not includ-
ed the probable cost to the state of nu-
merous boards and commissions it is
proposed to create on per diem basis.
Neither do the figures given include the
cost to the state if either Of the numer-
Gus bills providing bounties for the
sea ps of wild animals is passed. With
scarcely an exception these measures
impose on the state a portion of the
bounties that are proposed to be paid.
Another item of expense not included is
that entailed in the bill providing for
the purchase of voting machines.

of the difficulties between Honduras
and Nicaragua had been abruptly tel
minated and war was pending.
Costa Rica and Salvador have joined
their efforts to those of the United
States and Mexico to prevent a war in
Central America as the result of the
political friction between Honduras and
Nicaragua. Senior Salvo, the Costa
Rican minister, assured State depart
ment officials today that his govern
ment, after communicating with that
of Salvador, had made representations
to the opposing governments to induce
them to refrain from hostilities.

RIOTERS BEAT ITALIANS.
Assault on Motorman Enrages Pas
sengers on Streetcar.

San Francisco, Feb. 12.- Police re-
serves were called out tonight to quell
streetcar riot on Sutter street between
Fillmore and Derisadero streets. The
motorman of an outbound Sutter street
car, obeying an order recently issued by
the United Railroads, stopped his car
because four Italians persisted in hang
ing onto the running board on the
locked side of the car. They We're
finally induced by angry passengers to
come inside, and the motorman threw
on the current.
One of the Italians then stepped up
behind the motorman and knocked him
senseless with blow of his fist. A
quickwitted passenger succeeded in
bringing the car to stop within the
block, and the passengers, about 100
in number, proceeded to give the Ital-
ians fearful beating. The police re-
serves were called out, and they had to
use their clubs to restore order.

AFTER PRIVATE
PENSION BILLS
Roosevelt Says Present Methods of
Passage are Bad.
Believes Service Pension Is Enough
and He Will Call Halt to Crow
ing EviI-House Rushes Action to
Accomplish as Much as Possible
Before Club Falls.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 9.--Private
pension legislation, carried to an ex-
treme within the last few years and in
creasing at every session at an astound-
ing rate, has fallen under the ban of
| President Roosevelt. Within day or
two the president has laid plans to call
a halt, and tomorrow he will have
conference with Senator McCumber of
North Carolina, chairman of the sem
ate committee on pensions and Repre-
sentative Sulloway, of New Hampshire,
chairman of the house committee on
invalid pensions, for the purpose Of
getting their judgment on the question
of proposed sweeping reform.
However, the lawmakers directly in
terested may feel about it, the presi-
dent, it is understood, will feel con-
strained not to sign any more private
bills, now that the service pension
measure has become law, unless par
ticularly urgent reasons are presented
to him in connection with each individ-
ual case passed upon by congress.
Careful investigation of the private
pension question at the White House
led to the conclusion that the system,
as it has developed during recent ses-
sions of congress. is an almost unmiti-
gated evil; that methods which scarce
ly will stand scrutiny prevail in both
houses with respect to passing private
measures, and that in most instances
the enactments fail to accomplish the
real purpose for which pensions are in
tended.
Yesterday afternoon the house of rep
resentatives passed 725 private pension
bills. This is the highest record ever
made in a single day, and the large
of bills, coming right upon the
heels OF the passage and signing of a
service pension measure, may have
been due to the waiting of a zephyr
from the White house to the capitol
premonitory of the swinging of the big
stick upon future legislation.

FINDS SECRET OF PORCELAIN.
Director OF Sevres Rediscovers Pro
cess of Making "Tendre" Ware.

Paris, Feb. I'm. George Vogt, di
rector of the artistic department of the
national factory of porcelain, at Sevres,
has just made a discovery which vii
entirely change the present art of por-
celain manufacture.
There are two kinds of porcelain, the
hard and the "tendre." The secret OF
the manufacture of the latter was first
discovered by the Chinese and occupied
the attention of the chemists of all
Europe during the sixteenth, seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries. At
first all attempts to discover the formu-
la were without result, but at last sue
cess was attained, the "tendre" porce-
lain was discovered and perfected.
This delicate porcelain reigned su-
preme until in 1710 a new porcelain
was invented in Saxony. This Saxon
porcelain, if less delicate and less rich
in decoration, had the advantage over
the ''tendre" of being stronger and
more pliable. Large objects could be
made in it which were not possible in
the "tendre." Little by little the man.
ufacture of the "tendre' was abandoned
and with it disappeared all the charm
ing little objects which could not be
made in hard porcelain. At last the
secret was lost and for over century
sought to rediscover it, but
without success.
Now NJ. Vogt has discovered the sec
ret of making it and also how to make
it more durable and pliable, which will
enable him to overcome all the difficult
lies which beset the manufacture of the
'tendre" in former times,

JAPAN NEEDS SEVERE LESSON.
High German Official Regrets Amer
ica Yields to Upstairs,

Berlin, Feb. IL. - The anxiety ol
President Roosevelt to accede to the de.
mands of the japanese in the Calfor.
MIA school question has created q very
bad impression here, especially in mil
itary and diplomatic circles, where the
| whole affair has been watched from the
beginning.
A very high official in the foreign
department, who is closer than any
other man to the minister of foreign
affairs, yesterday said:
"It is great pity that great nation
like America shall be forced by circum-
stances to give in to these Japanese up
starts, who will now grow more conceit-
ed than ever.
at is evident that Japan is trying to
pick quarrel with the United States,
and that conflict is bound to come,
for it is the purpose of the japanese to
drive every white power out of the Far
East. l have no doubt that, if Ameri-
ca had strong navy today, your presi-
dents reply to the mikado's ultimatum
would have had another sound, but,
under the circumstances, the United
States is too weak to risk the loss of
their prestige in a war in which Japan
would have every advantage, and when
you would be unable to defend either
Hawaii or the Philippines.
Germany also has important inter
ests in the East and, while the German
government will use every effort to
build a mighty navy, the defiant atti-
tude of Japan at many occasions since
Russia's defeat is one of the principal
reasons.
"These yellow devils, whose civiliza
tion is of the most superficial nature,
will never cease to cause trouble until
they have been taught severe lesson
with the sword"

OPERATORS DEFIANT.
Western Union Employees at Chicago
Favor a Strike.

avn S''NC'
Chicago, Feb. l2.-Open defiance OF
the Western Union Telegraph company
was voiced at mass meeting of its EN-.
ployes held in Musicians hall, l34 Van
Buren, street, this afternoon. More
than 500 operators were packed into
the hall, and many of them favored
calling an immediate strike on the COM
pany unless the men who have recently
been discharged for joining the union
are at once reinstated.
Resolutions practically announcing
their membership in the Commercial
Telegraphers' onion of America were
adopted by the operators, and the exec
utive committee of the union was in
structed to notify the company that a
continuation of its alleged d scriminat-
ing attitude will be resented.
President S. j. Small and Secretary
Wesley Russell of the national organi-
zation attended the meeting and urged
the men in the local office of the West
ern Union company not to take hasty
action until the union is ready to act in
all large cities. President Small said
after the meeting that the operators in
% cities had joined in the movement
and that if strike were declared it
would not be confined to Chicago.
The men have been secretly organiz-
ing for about two years, and President
Small asserts that recently nine old
of the company have been
in the local office because of
their activity in union affairs.

ChehaIis Creamery Sold.

Chehalis, Wash, Feb. 12.-Nelson &
Justesen have said the Chehalis cream
cry to o. Brewer, who recently came
here from the northern part of the state.
The creamery here has been a success
ever since it was started, the business
having grown with the development of
dairying in the Chehalis and Newau-
KUN valleys. During 1906 over 25, 900
pounds more butter was made here than
during the previous year. The Chehal-
is milk condensing plant is now receiv-
ing almost an even 1000 pounds of
milk daily.
