DEMOCRATS CONFER.
Chairmen Mack and Lloyd WilI Work
 Together.

TOBStners
 Chicago, Aug. 1S.-The Democratic Congressional situation was the sub feet matter of an extended conference today between National Chairman Mack and Congressman James Lloyd. chair man of the Democratic Congressional Committee. at which 1t became known that the Democratic National Commit tee would not. only corporate with the Congressional Committee wherever possible. but would render any inan- cial aid necessary.
 The two committees have work ed heretofore harmoniously as separate organizations, but 1t was deemed ad- vantageous for the conduct of an ef- fective Congressional campaign to have 8 close working alliance.
 Congressman Lloyd told Chairman Mack that the prospects were bright for the election of Democratic House of Representatives and with proper aid from the National Committee many Congressional districts, formerly re, garded as safely Republican. would be found this year to be Democratic.
 Chairman Mack told Congressman Lloyd that the National Committee could be depended upon to give any assistance required.
 State Senator Timothy Sullivan. of New York City. called on Chairman Mack today and spent an hour looking over headquarters and in meeting the heads of the various bureaus. Senator Sullivan is returning home from a visit to Seattle. Wash. where he attended a convention of the Eagles.
 Everywhere I have. been found sentiment strong for Bryan," said Sem ator Sullivan. New York will be for Bryan and will elect a Democratic State ticket from the Governor down. don't know who the Democrats will nominate for Governor, but I hope it will be Lieutenant Governor Chanler.
 T heard reports out West that Tam many Hall would not be for MT. Bryan. That is not so. The Hall Is always regular for that is the secret of its strength. Were our bitterest enemy on the Democratic ticket. the Hall would work harder than ever to overcome any suggestion of irregularity. Tam many Hall will never teach its voters to scratch a ticket for 1t might come back to plague us."

 The only case of violence reported during the day occurred on North Eighth Street. A small crowd of white men and boys set upon a negro and beat him. severely.

Father Hickey is credited with great Influence. not only among Roman Catholics in his diocese. but among the laboring classes generally, and his plea to those present at the services was thoughtfully heard.

Recall nf Troonn.

Springfield. Iil.. Aug. 1s.-That the race war situation in this city Is con- sidered much less serious was eyinced tonight when Governor Deneen issued orders for the return of the 1st and 4th infantry regiments. to take trains for their homes tomorrow.
 "I took this measure after confer ence with Sheriff Werner. Mayor Reece, Major General Young, Adjutant Gener- al Scott General Foster and General Wells" explained Governor Deneen to- night.
 "Does that mean that you consider that all danger of serious trouble IS past?" he was asked.
 Tt means that we can properly guard the city with the troops that will remain. There will still be the End and 7th regiments under General Foster in the western division and the 3rd and 5th under General Wells. The departure of the Ist and 4th will leave a good 1000 here"
 Major Geenral Young said:
 "The mob element has had lesson and the way citizens with Knowledge of riotous misdeeds are responding to the appeal for information on which l to base indictments will furnish furth CT instructions to the violently inclin- ed. We are getting Information on | which we will be able to make many arrests of importance and these ar- rests will render the situation much easier to handle. With the ringlead- CTS behind the bars there will be little | for the military to do."
 UnIon Takes a Hand. There were the usual baseless alarms tonight, but up to midnight nothing of a serious character had transpired Deputy Sheriffs reported an entire absence of trouble or excitement at the Woodside coal mine where the white miners refused to work with negroes. Some nervousness was reported as existing further out at the Tuxhorn mine, but no clash.
 The refusal of the whites to work with their negro comrades was con- sidered at an all day session of the Examining Board of the State Fedora tion of the United Mine Workers of America. As a result of this considera- tion. an order was issued that the union does not recognize the right of the miners to cease work. All were ordered to report back at their posts tomorrow.
 While the sheriff of Sangamon county 1 is glad of the presence here of Che Na- tional Guardsmen. personally he and his deputies will feel much safer when they are gone according to stories told tonight by deputies.
 Nearly all of last nights shooting, according to Chief Deputy Long. was done by soldiers. Long was riding in the wagon which contained other depu- ties and soldiers. among them being Lieutenant Ridgeway of the 1st Infan- try, whose scabbard was struck by a bullet, and Deputy Sheriffs John Can field and Harry F. Kramer.
 It was learned tonight despite ef- forts of Garfield to keep the matter secret, that one of last nights bullets went through his hat. Others whistled over Deputy Kramer's head

who do not respect the law, to further violence. If law abiding people would only stay on the streets there would be no more need of troops"
 To Protect Soldiers.
 The determination of Governor De- neen. announced today, not to surren- der Private Klein. who killed young man at Kankaixee in pursuit of his orders to guard a car, has a deeper significance than merely protecting the individual soldier. It is felt that un- less a firm stand is taken in behalf of the soldier who kills in the dis charge of his duty. even though such civil life. the morals of the national guard will be injured. It is felt that the guardsman. who has his orders must not be made to fear that he IS running a risk of trouble with the feel that he is safe in carrying out the legitimate orders of his superior officers. It was this sentiment which was freely expressed to Governor De- neen by officers of the National Guard with whom he consulted regarding the case.
 It was authoritatively stated thai the appeal of Governor Deneen ant the action of the business men tnia morning In calling for information of any one guilty of rioting bore quick fruit. A surprising number of per sons called on States Attorney Hatch and gave him Information which vii be of value to guiding the actions of the grand jury.

among educational men whose serious ness of purpose and understanding can not be doubted. The Pianola has also interested most of the great artists and composers who have lent them selves gladly 70 8 perpetuation of their own interpretations through the me dit of the Netrostyl&. a recent lm> provement in the Pianola. by which the musician is enabled to outline hiS slightest desire as to the expression of his compositions.
 Outside Of the value of the Metro style to the living composers. nothing is more interesting than to note the different interpre ations of the classics as played by PaGerewsd, Hofmann. Rosenthal and others, all of whom have given their interpretation by means Of the Metrostyle to the music student or to the public at large.
 Through the medium of free con- certs in Aeolian hall, in New York. Paris. London. Berlin and Australia. thousands of people have become fa- miIiar with musical literature who would have nos other way of familiar izing themselves with the different masterpieces. It is therefore not sur prisiur that the president of the great institution which has brought about such musical conditions should be rec ognized by the French government

French Honors For Distinguished
 Annerican.

The French government has shown proper appreciation of American gen jus when it conferred the badge of the Legion of Honor. upon II. E. Tremaine, president of the Aeolian company MT. Tremaine has just received for nal notice that he has been appoint ed Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. one of the most coveted of European decorations. This badge is usually conferred in recognition of some sig nal service performed in the cause of science, art or literature and it is cer- tain that under such conditions no one is more deserving than Mir. Tremaine Who as head of the Aeolian company has brought forward the Pianola. which has accomplished incalcUlable things for music, not alone in this country, but in foeign countries as well. In every great music center in the world there stands an AeOlian hall. which is the home of everything that is cultured and artistic in music and the one in Paris was no doubt a constant reminder to the powers be- hind the government of what an American had accomplished.
 Comparatively few people realize the influence of the Pianola, but those who do have no hesitancy in placing it among the foremost educational forces of the world. From its earliest con cepuon to it's perfection at the pres ent time it has raised the standard of musical appreciation immeasurdbly from America to Australia, and from England to Turkey. Through the me dium of the Pianola the day is prac- tically over when pianos stand as pieces of furniture in the homes of those who do not play. The concert halls are filled with music-Ioving peo- pie, young and old, who have learned to understand the best in musical lit erature through the medium of the eyer ready Pianola.
 When it is understood that in the Pianoia repertory are over fifteen thousand compositions, comprising everything in pianoforte literature, and many arrangements which can hardly Dc played by one pianist, the range of possibilities may be realized Many of the orchestral works and string quar- tets have been arranged for perform auce on the Pianola. from the Sixth symphony of Tschaikowsky to the Beethoven quartets. That most of the large universities and colleges in this country. including Harvard. Columbia, Nassar and institutions of similar standing, use this instrument in theil regular music course is sufficient proof of the esteem which it has enlisted

that will probably have to be reckoned with.
 All of this, however, may be offset by the fact that Governor Johnson is by education, training and experience an American of the Americans, not even being able to speak the language of his parents.
 Governor Johnson could also count on a certain amount of his strength in view of his geographical position. He would be the first candidate the northwest has ever had and this would count in his favor. Whatever the re- uslt, however, a contest between him and a republican candidate would be of more than ordinary interest be- cause of its test of the strength of hitherto unbroken party lines.

tionality ties are very strong with both Swedes and Norwegians and a major ! ity of the immigrants who come to this country every year are males and sooner or later become voters. They form the same party affiliations as | their countrymen already here and this ! tie of nationality is so far as it has @ political significance usually extends to the first generation, at least, and often beyond.
 What the result would be if the two elements of nationality and politics ran counter to each other in a presidential election is the interesting problem.
 Justus l.. Johnson, who first pointed out this fact. has compiled some inter- esting figures on this head, particular ly with respect to Minnesota, Governor Johnson's home state
 The Scandinavian population of Min nesota is one third of the population of the entire state. The total vote of the state in 1900 was BY 900 and out of this vote Mckinley got a plurality of 77,0OO votes, or 24 per cent of the total vote. A change of one-half of this plurality would have tied the vote. It can be safely estimated that the Scandinavian cast more than one-t third of the total vote and a flop" of half of those who voted for Mckinley would have more than offset the republican plurality in that election. That this would probably have been the case if Mckinley had had a Scandinavian Op- ponent is argued by some from the de- feat by Governor Johnson of the re- publican for governor in the year of the Roosevelt landslide and Johnson's reelection two years later by a largely increased majority.
 Similar results might be looked for in Nebraska. North and South Dakota. Utah and Washington, which with Minnesota have a total of 30 electoral votes. Other states, such as Wisconsin and Illinois, which are naturally re- publican might have to be put in the doubtful column. because of the uncer- tain effect of the large Scandinavian vote.
 Justus Johnson estimates that 90 per cent of the Scandinavian vote of the country will fall to Governor John son if he is nominated by the demo- cratic party.
 Tn his estimate of Mir. Bryan's cleo tOral strength" said Mir. Johnson. General Grosvenor has conceded him the solid south. including Maryland, Kentucky and Missouri. with 166 cleo toral votes. I claim any democrat can carry those states this year. I am con fident that Governor Johnson can add thereto 49 votes-the states of Minne- sota, Nebraska, North and South Da- kota, Utah, Washington, Colorado, Idaho. Montana and Nevada. He would have an excellent chance in Illinois, Knsas. Wyoming, and Wisconsin with B votes, and chance in Iowa, Oregon, Connecticut. California and New York with 73 votes"
 This statement, coming from n re- publican politician, is significant of the uncertainty in the minds of republican party leaders as to how they are to draw their political maps for the com ing campaign.
 A further complication of the situa- tion is the possibility of foreign repub- 1 lican votes. other than Scandipavian. i falling to the democratic candidate if | he is of proximate foreign origin. For the extent of this vote shifting there is no possible guide, but it is a factor
