The scenes at the Brussels graveyard were simply disgusting.

Without a word Broton opened fico upon Genessit and show him in the rogion of the hoart. He fell in an adjacent room, crying *Arrest him, I am lost.” The murderer pursued his vietim and as ho fell discharged a second bullet into his back. ‘The assassin then pointed the weapon at thoso in front of him and fled across the road to his house where Madam Iaybond was waiting.

Breton wroto a letter to his colonel, saying: “I deliver my sword into your hands and can only say that I am sorry for tho act committed, to which I was pusied by iutolorable vexations.

It appears that Genesset had written him many letters containing threats.

[Copuright 1891 by James Gorlon Bennett.| Loxnoy, Oct. 8.—(New York Herald Cavle—Special to Tiue Bee,|--Financial affairs hero aro getting iuto a very cuvious state, bankers and brokers alike scarce knowing whero they stand. A risein the Bank of England’s rate of discount from 3 per cent to4is anticipated as the bank's stock of bullion and its reserve both show & steady falling off. Short loans are not too easily obtained and in ail divections there is a te dency to act with extreme caution aud to avold launching out into mew enterprises. Hence the dullness of the markets here dur any amount of money ready for investment. Of late it has been turving once moro n the dircction of American securities. Ever since Goshen converted the consols and brought them down in price from 103 to 04 with lower rates of interest, thousands of small holders have been looking out for in- vesuments yielding larger returns. Lost in the Argentine. depression which hung so long over tne American market, and the loss of confidence in railway shares aud bonds drove the British public into other fields. Tney weat further and fared worse. The Argentine Republic swal- lowed up their money and then surplus capi- tal began to flow to the United States. Steadine®s in the American market is what is desired. An immense demand would soon spring up here for Ameri- can bonds or shares with any decent prospect before the investors. A member of au eminent banking firm said to me today: “Heaps of money are waiting for investment in America. We used to feel safo in recom- mending a select list to our customers, but now we scarcely know what to touch our- selves, If Americans canpot hold up their end of the line it's no wonder that the other end drops here, One thing is certain, not all the offorts of the combinations which propped up the Barings can induce the public to go into South America again, Tne tendency is al- ways to return to the United States, but disturbing influences, whether promoted by Jay Gould orotters check and repell this tendency. Somo body is perpetually crying out in Wall strect, “Don’t bring your mouey here or you will Jose it.” Chapel Court Ready. Of coursn the hint is taken ospecially in these timid days but let firmuess and confidence be shown in Wall street and Chapel court will instantly respond. 1t money is wanted in America it can easily be found in England, but the borrower must look as if he intended to pay it back. These are the opinions of some of the most influen- tial firms in this city. They do ot think there is anything sustantially wrong in financial affaivs here, although many houses have been badly snaken, small investors are unburt. The question is, will the United States provide scope for them, or will it let the harvest bo reaped by others? The flow of British gold all through the winter depends upon the answer to that question. Wanton efforts to depreciato Amevican credit and injure American securities are already causing much mischief and may do more. It cannot be too distinctly made known that the public here would chooso the United States as an outlet for their capital if they were not driven off by the menaces of certain operators in Wall street. Rt The DVORIJAK ON OPERA, Some Ideas of the World Famous Be he Composer. {Copyrighted 1591 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxnoy, Oct. 3.—(New York Horald Cable—Special to Tur Ber.]—The engage ment of Dr. Antonne Dvorijak, tho famous Bohemian composer and director of the merican National Conservatory of Music, makes him an interesting figure to all Americans, For that reason 1 went to St James ball to se0 him conduct the first rehoearsal of his new requiem mass written for the Birming- ham festival next wook. It was then in the morning and the rugged Bobemian composer stood with his back to the audience in a pul- pit facing the amphitheatro, Every man in the gigantic semi-circlo had a greenbacked school book in front of him. Here the flute warbled, thero the violin com- piained, now it was the double bass groanin and then it was the strident clarionet or throbbing bass viol. All was discord and con- fusion. Down in the wilderness of crimsoned benches sat the audience of musicians, each one with his or her finger on the first page of the requiem music, Then Came the Music. High up above the stage sat the organist running the scales. Eyes of sun- light sparkled on the golden tracery ot the lofty ceiling. Suddenly there was silence. Dvorlak’s baton was in the air. One, two, throe strokes and a wave of solemn music went billowing through the hall. Then came tho rolling of basses and wailing of reeds, Dvorjak gave himselt up 10 the music. His gestures expressed com- plete abandon. Butin a fow minutes a tali, broad shouldered man strode in upon the stage and stood boside Dyorjak. Ho nad spectacles on his uose and a huge beard sprawling over his big chest. He was Dr. Hans Richter, a great dramatic con ! ductor who is director of the Birmingham festival. Then began an extraordinary scene: Dvorjak and Richter conducted the own way and sbouting directions to the in- strumentalists fome Slight Discord. l Up to that moment Lhe requiem bad tbrilied rehearsal together, each beating time in his | me, but peace and poetry fledl with the ap- | of Dr. Ricyter, In the most sublime pas ages his tremendous veite could be heard shrieking, “No, no, o} you must do like | this; listen to me: Wee' wrempa, wrempa, | weo tida. Then you must o like this Guor—r—r, gnor—r—r,’ gnor--p-—p, wee wrempa tida.” Then Dr. Richter wou'd give an imitation of the way the music would sound. Some- times his powerful voice would sound like a circular saw striking a knot in a pine plank In the most tender and molsting part of the requiem would come a sudden “hist” aud a startling stamp of the fect. r. Richter would turn on a faulty musician and eve him in silence with nn expression of ex- tremo rage. The poor fetlow would look as it bo wanted to crawl on his kncos. Not the Correct Thing. Then the conductor wonld swing his arms above bis head crying, ‘'you must play like this—-pom pom ta ra, ta ra pom POM ta ¥a ra ta pom pom--wee-—wee ump is the way you must do it,""" whereupon the baritone would go into a fit of laughter and the requiem would prooeed. But while Dr. Richter was taking the place of the orches- tra. Dvorjak would roar at the unfortuuate players, ‘b, ¢, b, d,* waving his baton in time to the notes. 1 would not have been in that or nd have faced those volleys for a small fortune, It 100 about two hours Lo renearse the re quiem mass and the judgment of nearly all the musicians present was that it would rank as Dvorjak's most important work. Mme. Albain's illuess prevented her from singing tho leading soprano part and it is only fair to Miss Williams to say that tho dual leadership scemed 15 startle her out of all condition to sing at tho rehearsal. 1 Fall of Feeling. Tn Birmingham tomorrow ber performance may be better judged. T attempt a_ serious eriticism of a composttion under , the condi- tions of Thursday’s rehoarsal would be use- less. The chorus which plays a vital part in the music was absent, wiich nccounted for some of the dullness, but whenever the work was purely instrumental, it was lofty and tull of fealng. The rapid passages for the full orchestra, with which the composition abounds, are instinct witherace and power. Dvorjak was at breakfast wien [ saw him in tho Langham hotel yesterday. He is a short muscular man, with a thick neck, black beard, largo bright eyes and a positive man nerin speaking. *Yes, Lhave accepted the posttion of director of the Nutional Con servatory of Music in New York” hesaid. *“Mvs. Thurber has sent me a con- tract for two years and it is now in London.

He suid that nothing great could bo accomplished in the development of music until the evil of these three compose who had buried true music under mere decor- ation, had passed away.” 1deas of Amateurs. “How do you feel on that point{" 1 emphatically disagree with Ruoenstein in that matter,” said Dvorjak. *The influ- ence of those composers is good and helping in tho development of sound musical taste. In diamitic music 1 place Wagner and Mozart above all others.”” Do you think,” I asked, “it1s possible to build up a native opera in tho United States (" 1 don’teatch the point,”” replied Droyak, “how native opera? “An opera,’ I rejoined, ‘distinctly na- tional in its tone, dealing with American events, with Indians for instauce, written by an American and suog and played by Americans.” Dvoyak smiled grimly. “So far as you have gono, I say yes, it can be dane after many years, butasto music, oh! that is another thing, Americaus can have native music, but no national music, There is no nationality in music. The libretto may bo American and the perfocmers also American, but no such thing as Amer ican music any more thap German or French music is possible. Influence of German Composers.

Thei majesties may remain at Fredensburg until after the celabration of their silver wedding anniversary, which occurs on the 25th inst., returning to St. Petorsburg via Berlin, There is nothing to indicate that the meeting of the czar and Emperor William will be iuvested with diplomatic importance. It will prob- ably be a brief visitof courtesy. The Rus- sian_embassy in this city has not received any lnstructions regarding the visit of tho czar, It is believed that the emperor will meet him at the railroad station and that after a short interview the czar will proceed on his homeward journey. Despite the protestations of peace wh aro heard on all sides the relations between the government at Berlin and St. Petersburg remained strained. Tho suppression of Ger- man subscriptions to the new Russian loan is rosented by M. Vishuegradski, tho Russian minister of finance, who looks upon it as a trick of Chancellor Von Caprivi, who, Vish- negradski says, first induced the Borlin baukers to believe that he favored tho issue and then maueuvered for its abandonment. The Mendelsohns and Warsourhs, who hold @ large proportion of tho issuos, have been advised from St. Petersburg that they will continue to be the re- sponsivle members of the syndicate ne- gotiating tno loan. In the view of the presont state of fecling of the French people they adhere to their contract willingly, ex pecting to realizo a consideravlo sum on the rising of tho price of the bonds due to the oager absorptic of tho issue by French in- vestors, The press attacks upon tho lpml extends o Russian stocks generally, calling 10 mind @ period, a few youars ago, when the baaks aad bouses taboded _everything Rus- sian.

The precaations which have been taken to provent any but ofiicials ap- proaching the czar ave so strict that even the authorized representatives of the press will bo kept at a distance. The journalists who were allowed access to tho railroad station last weck when tho czar was hurrying through Berlin on his way to Moscow were locked up in & waiting room and only got a glimpse of his majesty through a window as ho alighted from the train and was greoted by Prince Leopold who was doing the honors in the ubsence of tho emporor.

Trade in Am The replies to inquiries made of leading wholesale dealers hero in Hamburg regard- ing trade in American pork show tat it is still limited, the cost of the inspection in America, combined with the duty still im- posed bere, prevents the popular sale of American hog products. The price for salted American pork rules about 54 marks per 100 weight, while cured German bacon sells at 53 marks,” The dealers are combining in an at- tempt to get the government to reduce the duty, which is now 10 marks per 100 pounds. Uniil this is done no marked impotus will be given to tho trade in American pork. “The rescript providing that foreign insur- ance companies must invest in Prassian con- is lurgely due to tho infiuence of the .erman companies, which have becomo jeal ous of the amazing success of the Ameiican companies, which are now acquiring the greator part of the insurance business throughout the country.

Ono man, shot through the lungs, fought in the battle of Placilla, and then walked into Valparaiso, a gistance of ten miles. Another quietly smoked a cigaretto whilo a bullet was taken out of his entraits, They one aud all ap- peared to have no fecling.

Ho was afterward roleased and returned to, Valpa- raiso. The government forces wero utterly de- moralized. One shrapuell shell from the Esmeralda, bursting in the middle of a regi- ment in extended order, killed and wounded over 200 of them. ~ The remainder_of three regiments, viz: Andes, Third and Niuth' of tho line, slept in six railway carriuges the night after the battle, The officers of the government foy their opponents advanced in threes so rap- idly and quictly, muking use of the whistle instead of the blgle calls,that their approach was unnoticed, ang thut the Manficher mag- azine rifle senta bullet clean through two solid cars at 1,000 yards.

Another ruse succeeded admir- ably. A large tent was placed in n conspie- uous position, marked “Istado Mayor” (chiof of staff) and apparently unprotected. The cavalry swooped down on it, but when about 600 yards distant the tent dropped, exposing a very powerful battery of mactine guns, whichi at once opened a murderous fire, forcs g them to retiro uearly annibilated. “The opposition managed to get their forces over the Aconcagun river by making fast a line between two horses, and tho men, holds ing on to this, were taken across in safoty.

A decorous silence was observed by the throngs as the liearse passed on its way to tho last resting place. aud most of the persous in the crowd uncovered their keads. At the cn- trance to the netery the advance of the fuueral procession was delayed by the actions of s mob which had gatherod at that place and were roughly orowding about the eates, seeking admittance to the grave- yard to witness the last scenes. Tho gend- armes who were detailed for duty, after con- siderable exertion, succeeded in" clearing a passago and the grave was at longth reached. The coffin was then taken from the hearse and lowered into the grave. Thero were no religious services, whatever, aud no speeches were made. The only ceremony, if ceremon it may be called, was performed by M Deroulde, who, taking up atri-color, put the flag 1o his lips and placed it on the coffin, at the same time exclaiming: “Fareweil, my iend.” This was the only incident worthy of note in connection with the interment When the earth had been thrown upon the coftlu and the sods bad been arranged by the emetery emploves the friends of the dead weneral returned to their homes.
