Millerand (Socialist), | the Minister of Commerce, came up in the | Chamber of Deputies this afternoon and | resulted in @ viciory for the Government. | The interpeliator, M. Gay, Progressive | Republican, representing St. Etienne, | withdrew his motion at the last moment. M. Millerand, however, at the opening of | the session rose and said he refused to | vest under any allegation against him | that he acted in favor of the strikers and emphatically denied he had intervened in the strike without the knowledge of the Premier, M. Waldeck-Rosseau. ed the Government respecting the strike | in the Belfort region, alieging the Prefect | intervened in favor of the employers and ' summoned the militury to prevent the workmen from striking. He that during the exodus of the strikers to Belford the women and children were | compelled to sleep in the fields. H M. Salignac-Felon, Republican, here re- | marked: “Yes, but the wire-puliers of the | strike ele}u at the best of the hotels.” M. de Jeante concluded his speech by demanding protection for workmen and ghouting “Down with capitalists,” *Lo live the labor republic.” is was greet. with loud Radical cheers. M. Gay here resuscitated his interpella. tion, accusing the Government of toler sting strikers’ demonstrations, which, he ided, were due to its indecision and in- Eisting that M. Millerand intervened and encouraged the strikers to resist their em- | pl?'efi' demands. . Millerand replied. repeating his orig- inal statement and declaring that he in- tervened only to explain the operation of the law regarding accidents to workmen. M. Waldeck-Rosseau read the instruc- tions sent to the Prefect of the Loire or- dering res; for the right to strike and Jiberty of labor. He continued with eulo- zing the conduct of the workmen's wnions. which, in direfllngflthe strike, pre- vented excesses. from which the mining strike was laudably free. The vote was then taken.

SAN RAFAEL, Jan. 18.—An appeal will shortly be filed in the Superior Court that will again show up the peculiar methods of ' Novato's “Zwel Lager” jury. This soubriquet was earned for Novato's jury by two of the chosen twelve leaving t! courtroom during the hearing of some Chinese cases and indulging in the fes- tive lager ‘and crackers and cheesge. At the conclusion of the case the ju brought in a verdict of guilty, and Ah , Ho Duck, Sing Lee, Lo Hoy and Hop Kee were sentenced by Judge Dahl to pay a fine of $1®. Attorney Thomas P. Bo{li! in examining the papers found that the following verdict had been rendered: “We, the jury. find the defendant gitllty, “REUBEN SMALL, Foreman."” Either the Novato jury consider five in- dividual Chinese as an Oriental unit, or the beer they imbibed had an exactly op- posite effect to that which it usually pro- duces. “In either case’ says Mr. Boyd, *the verdict cannot hold, for how can five Chinese be one defendant, or one guilty defendant be Ah Lee, Ho Duck, Sing Lee, Lo Hoy and Hop Kee? g HAVANA CUSTOMS RECEIPTS.

FIRST SYMPHONY OF THE SEASON Haydn and Tschaikowsky, Mendels- sohn and Wagner, the music of the past and the music of the future and two sym- phonies at a single concert! Such was | the programme of the first of the series of symphony concerts under the baton of Henri Holmes. The concert was heard yesterday afternoon at the Grand Opera- house by a goodly audience. Rather a solid outlay and one more trying and severe to ‘the musicians than to their hearers, who had nothing to do but en- Joy themselves. < It might be surmised that the projectors of the present series were somewhat dublous of tneir success and were bent upon offering as much as possible at the outset In order, as it were, to carry the day by force of arms. No one can object to hearing the Tscthaikowsky ‘Pathe-,| tique” at the beginning of the season in: stead of having it withheld as a trump} card with which to take the last triek; and this “‘demonstration” will undoubt-~ edly insure success for the present under- taking. Whether or not the success will be deep and lasting.enough to vitalize the symphony cult a year nence depends entirely upon how successful Mr. Holmes'l | i { outer circle of music patrons—the public. Yesterday's concert was really the:first test of Mr. Holmes' popularity, for he is looked on now not as a possibility, but;as a fact. He is installed as the loré ‘of our demesne of music and we must Be- gin to conslder whether ne will stand the test or mot. With a capablc band and that can be accorded him and the desire; for symphony concerts is strong enough among us to supply him with at least moderate support. Can he compass more than that is another question which th future alone can answer. R Two aspects of the case present them- selves immediately in making an estimate of his abi! On the one hand, there is the orbhestra admirably drilled—a token of his mastery—and on the other, the question of his actual importance as @ conductor. I have nothing but admira- tion for the first, but re rding the sec- ond I can but repeat what I said after the first concert a month ago, to wit: Mr. Holmes does not seem a vitally component part of his orchestra; he does not dominate it; personaily, he Is negli- gible. He does not command attention, and in consequence, we never find him transcending the pale of scholarship and endowing the music with individual char- acter. Mendelssohn's “Ruy Blas” overture was a good introduction to yesterday’'s concert and Haydn's buoyant Symphony in D, No. 2, was interpreted with all the frank Joyousness characteristic of the compos- er. Its abundant melody, treated as it is with the formality of other days, was forgotten, however, when the orchestra began to murmur the beautiful “Siegfried Idyl” of Wagner, and even the insinua- tion of this number was almost crowded out of memory when the big Tschaikow- sky “Pathetique” raised its voice. The composition is a tremendous plece of work and has searching qualities, novel- ti;. daring, marvelous complexity without thickness, the appeal of modernity in a radical age. It is inftinct with power and devold of sentimentdlity. The cumulative rhythms of the first movement are su- perbly sensuous and in it the band glayed with a truly flerce impulse tempered by a security and firmness of tone that was delightful. The third movement, allegro molto vivace, displays a marvelous hand- I of themes and is electrical in its brillancy. The final adagio sounds the deepest note of sadness and is ineffably pathetic. It is to be hoped this symphony will be repeated before the end of the season. Indeed, if I had the space, I would like to give some reasons why it might be played at every concert of the series. PORTER GARNETT. The Louis James, Kathryn Kidder and Charles B. Hanford combination will be- gin the second week of their successful engagement at the Columbia Theater on Monday evening with ‘“‘The. School for Scandal,” Sheridan's brilllant comedy of costume and manners, which scored auch a success here last season. On Tuesday night, however, “The Winter's Tale” wiil return to the stage, and owing to the de- mand to see this production the manage- ment has decided to repeat it on Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday evenings.

There was a grand time Wednesday night in Golden Gate Hall on Sutter street, for the nobles of Isiam Temple of the Mystic Shrine were in session for ‘the purpose of celebrating the great feast known as Moleedoos Seyyeedeh Kayneb, to per- petuate the charities of Imam’s daugh- ter and to convey over the hot sands of the desert fifteen pilgrims who were anx- fous to ride the temple’'s well trained camel, Ab del Kadber. The hall in ‘which the temple usually holds its sessions being found inadequate to accommodate the nobles who want- ed to see the work performed by the new corps of officers, the main hall was se- cured and the events were most inte esting to the onlookers and impressive, so0 sald the pilgrims, who laid much stress on “impressive.’” Reuben P.

BOERS MADE ONLY FEEBLE RESISTANCE SPEARMANS FARM, Natal, Jan. 18, 10 a. m.—General Lytelton’s brigade, with a howitzer battery, crossed the Tu- gela River at Potgieters Drift on Tuesday, January 16. The water rose above the ‘waists of the men. The Boers fired two shots and then recalled their forces to the trenches, the passage being uninterrupted. The British advanced in skirmishing or- der, and the small kopjes on the summits were occupied by 6:30 p. m. During the | night it rained heavily. | Yesterday (Wednesday) the Boer trenches were vigorously shelled in front of Mount Alice, while the British re- mained in possession of the kopjes and plains. Heavy mists enveloped the hills, but the naval guns and" the howitzer | battery made good practice, thommlyi searching the tréncheés. Om the Boer right | & breach was made in a sandbag emplace- | ment, where it is supposed Boer guns had been placed. The cannonade was heavy and continu- | ous, and the Boers were observed leaving the trenches in small es. The hiil | 'Mltng the British tion was shelled next.
