Mr. Damrosch was | more than ever happy in his exposition of Wagner's thought and purpose, and both | Madame Gadskl and Mr. Bispham exceed- | ed themselves In thelr singing of the | music assigned to them. The theme of the afternoon was “The Flying Dutchman,” which, like “Tann- is among the composer’s earlfer | but Mr. Damrosch demonstrates | at the period in which the | opera was written, the Wagnerian princi- ples of theme-expression and the subserv- ience of the melodic to the dramatic ele- ment were in more than an experimental stage. How. much these doctrines were | developed and amplified in the later music-dramas needs not the telling, but the extent to which they are used 1n the very beginning of Wagner's career Is a matter of historical and educational in- terest. After a few remarks of the legendary racter and origin of the story of the Flying Dutchman,” Mr. Damrosch began his setting forth of the Wagnerian ve works, ture, in which are embodied all the lead- ing motives of the cpera. He spoke with | pertlence and simplicity, but also with a certaln picturesqueness of diction that is admirably adapted to the poetical charac- ter of his s t His abllity as a lecturer is balanced to a nicety by his skill as a pianist, although he deprecates the applause that his mas- terly playing evokes. In il “spinning chorus” vesterday he gave a brief planistic Impression of the music | which he ended rather abruptly, and in response to an enthusiastic demand for a | completion of the passage sald: “If 1 had my orchestra with me I would play it for you, byt I am not a pianist and cannot.”” And yet this man who says | 45 piano scores of Wagner than any ordinary | artist could, and displays the evidences of an absolute virtuosity.

The intensely dram- atic music of Vanderdecken is well sufted to his powers and nothing could be better than interpretation of it. The high order of his art is sustained throughout each and all of his numbers. There is suggestlon of weakness nor careless execution, but instead a contin- ued charm, brilliance and impressiveness that command unlimited admiration. Mr. Bispham is not perhaps the greatest singer that has ever visited San Fran- cisco, but he is without doubt the most absolute artist. Madame Gadski sang with great charm yesterday. She was at her very best, which is saying a great deal. Her inter. pretation of Senta’s music is one of sym- pathy and insight. There will be a concert at the Califor- nia Theater this afternoon at 2:15. The subjects are to be “Lohengrin’ and *Dje Mefstersinger.” ————————— Named Bishop of Columbus.

Commissioner A. B. Spreckels put himself on record as op- posed to admitting them, saying that they would frighten horses, endanger children and were generally a source of danger to the visitors to the people's great pleasure ground. After the matter had been talked over It was voted by all the Commissioners except Mr. Spreckels to let in the auto- mobiles propelied by electric power and compressed air, on the south drive only, | but to exclude the gasoline-propelled ma- chines and all except those dealing with electricity and air. INLAND CITY SEEKS FOR TERMINAL RATES San Bernardino Has Secured Hearing Before Interstate Commerce Commission. San Bernardino will try to have the In- terstate Commissloners establish {t In business as a terminal point, which would give it terminal rates. Before the Inter- state Commissioners listen to the defense made by the Jobbers of Los Angeles against the suit of those of the Middle West the San Bernardino terminal mat- ter will come up. It Involves the question of graded rates based upon mileage, which is one of the points in the St. Louis pro- gramme to which the Jobbers’ and Manu- facturers’ Assoclation has strongly ob- jected. San Bernardino is not a tide water point. It has not the geographical posi- tion to permit it to claim to be a com- petitive point by sea. It stands in pre- clsely the same attitude, So far as the question of competition with other points is_concerned, as any other inland town. For this reason the Pacific Coast Job- bers' and Manufacturers’ Association will be interested. If the mileage basis is ap- plied to San Bernargino it must also apply to Salt Lake and other places. The claim of the Pacific Coast generally to differen- tlals rests upon the foundation of geo- graphical location and sea competition that has been the chief argument ad- vanced in justification of them. Once the: Interstate Commerce Commission, sev- eral years ago, ruled that San Bernardino should be a terminal. That was over. turned by a decision in the Federal court at Los Angeles. —————— Delicacies for Invalids.

I may run into a lamp post and put it out of business, but what of that? Lamp posts only work half the time now, and we'll furnish enough stars to light the city."” “What T do not understand,” sald Her- mann Oelrichs, “is the absence of a strong automobile organization. You have your automobile coats, and why not the car- riages? With all this fair weather we might enjoy a parade similar to our swell Fifth-avenue show in New York. Noth- ing would please me more than to take my dear friend, Alec Hamilton, out for a ride.

The colonel is resigned to accldents and should he be at the bot- tom of the heap he is satisfled that it will be nothing but a horse(less) on him. Al Wieland never did like small boys, and after many years of waiting his chance has come. The club has a grad- uated system of prizes to be awarded for greatest number of “kills” and most picturesque and fanciful “spills.” Only adults will be considered in the rating. The killing of the young that play on the park roads will entitle members to a re- mission of dues for a year, but big game must be brought down 1f medals are to be worn on the breast. Wieland’s only fear is that of being marooned on one of the Stow Lake islands, with notlhing but water around him. That will hold the fes- tive Al for a while. Of all the sufferers who will forsake the horse Charley Newman is the most philo- sophic. “I'd Just as llef be behind the air,” is Charlie’s plaint. “They took Maud N away from me, and where will I see her NS THE SEAL ROCKS - “3 like again?

The club has expressed itself as being on a friendly footing with all equine road- sters. There Is no malice prepense in these riders of the electric or steam cart. When the park is studded with the heay- ily tired automobiles every effort will be made by the owners to court the goodwill and companionship of the fleet-footed pacer and trotter. ‘Side by each’ we will go together,” is the refrain to all their songs. ‘“Nay,” cries the horseman, “you will not.” In the days of the future, when the crowd gathers on the Clifft House porch, long coats, pearl buttons and all, the talk will not be of “skivers, *getting away left foot first,” “wiggle “side-wheel- ers,” “went up in the air” and “breaking thimble straps.” It will be “foot pound pressure,” ‘‘gear, “lubricants” and MORE EXCITING THAN YACHTING THINKS CHASFAL “‘dra But the arguments will ge. on, just the same, and the bottle will pass. MET TO DISPOSE OF THE VOLUNTEER FUND Citizens’ Executive Committee De- cides to Erect a Memorial Mon- ument in the Park. A meeting of the Citizens’ Executive Committee was held yesterday afternoon in the offices of Mayor Phelan. All mem- bers of the committee were present. The object of the meeting was to dispose of the balance of the subscribed fund on hand and to settle up the affairs of the committee. It was decided that a memorial monu- ment be erected in Golden Gate Park to the California volunteers of the army and navy who died in the service of the United States during the Spanish-American war. In this connection the following resolu- tion was adopted: Resolved, That proposals be Invited for a monument and designs submitted at a cost not to exceed $25,000. That either drawings or models may be submittéd with specifications stating what materials are to be used and a detailed estimate of the coet be sent to the committee in care of Henry C. McPike Esc 405 Claus Spreckels building, San Francisc by August 15, 1 Also that cir- culars be printed and matled to all artists i the country. That the committee meet as a whole when the plans are submitted, and that all members be present before a selection is made of the design. The committee also decided that any balance left on hand after the monument is paid for will be turned over to the ladies of the Red Cross Soclety, with a re- quest that it be used for the benefit of California’s soldiers and sailors. The following report from the cashier of the deposit bank of the Citizens’ Exec- utive Committee was recelved: SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1, 1899, ecutive Committee—Genileme: Herewith please find a report of the transa tions of the Deposit Bank of the Citizens' E: ecutive Commitiee from August 12 (the date of establishment) till December 1, 1599: Number of accounts opened, 177: total amount of money deposited, $37,211 24; total amount of money Withdrawn, $37,21) 24; average daily volume of business, §365; Eastern exchange procured and gent to the home address of discharged soldiers by registered letter, $8:20 45; contributions col- Jected and turned over to the finance committee, accounts have been closed and Citizens' $197 75. All passbooks_ returned. Tt may be a source of gratification to you to know that the bank was greatly appreciated by the returned soldiers, and from my experience as cashier I can safely say that the establish- ment of the bank was one of the most practl- cal works of your committee, for in many 1 stances the money deposited there would other- Wise have been squandered.

AR S Pettus Speaks of the President’s Changed Views and Foraker Dis- cusses Possibility of For- eign Complications. £s ED WASHINGTON, March 8.—Formal dis- cussion of the Forto Rican tariff and ctvil government bill began in the Senate to- day and continued uninterruptedly for four and a half hours. The prineipal speakers were Foraker, in charge of the measure, and Pettus, but at varfous times during the debate lvely colloquys ve- curred, in which other Senators were par- ticipants. After Mason of Illinois had entered his motion to discharge the Committes on Foreign Relations from further considera- tion of a resolution expressing sympathy for the Boers, and it had gone over until to-morrow under the rule, Pettus deliv- ered a caretully prepared speech in oppo- sition to the penaing bill. Said he: Defends the President. No sordid politician’s fingers had beem put into the ink of that message. The President was honest and sincere when he distinctly ad- vised free trade between the United States and the island of Porto Rico. ‘The public press ow_trying to make us belleve the Secretary of War is the author of the pending bill and that the President has acceded to the provisions of the measure. For one I refuse belleve this charge against the Though he pay desire re-election, he was a brave soldler and an able and For him it Is not everything In ed to the Presidency by his ted for the common good of It he approves your bill then vile story against any good life to be re-ele party. He has all the people. 1 may believe any man. Pettus called attention to the amend- ment proposed by Davis, which, he said, was a most Interesting specimen of th product of inventive genius. He said: The Senator proposes to send over to the Porto Ricans the constitution in lit- tle now and a little then. Foraker, in charge of the pending hill, replied to Pettus. Adverting to the criti- cism aroused y the bill, both In the newspapers and among the people, For- aker sald that so far as he had been formed no intelligent and appreciativa man in Porto Rico had dissented from the propositions of the measure. There m tallments—a have been some criticism on the part of the Porto Ricans, but generally it was accepted as an excellent bill. Lindsay in- quired if Governor Gen ! Davis himself had not recommended free trade with Per- to Rico. Foraker replied: Yes he did make such a ommendation, but the committee, after full consideration, de- cided against his proposition. We are the Legislature for the whole United States and we were forced to consider the question from all points of view. The tariff provision was conceived in mercy to the Porto Ricans, and in its generosity it is wifhout precedent in the Territorial legislation of the United States. Foreign Complications. Foraker discussed the probability that this Government would be asked by other powers for an open door in the Philip- pines, and declared that it was an im- portant and perhaps imminent _contin- gency, of which account would have to be taken. We wanted trade in the Orient, and after we demanded an entrance into China we must grant one in the Philip- pines. He thought the Philippines could not to be dealt with as it was proposed t> deal with Porto Rico. Mr. Tillman—Then the contention is that we can take Porto Rico under our wing and pro- tect her to the utmost, but that we cannot do the same thing for the Philippines. Continuing, he asked why the President had originally recommended free trade with Porto Rico and the House hai brought in a bill to that end, only chang. ing the course of its policy after heari from Mr. Oxnard, the sugar king. Rep! ing. Foraker referred Tillman to his col- league (Hanna) and sald: I am not the keeper of the President’'s cone fidence. I have no doubt, however, that the President spoke from his highest convistion and best sentiment. No doubt he would pre- fer free trade with Porto Rico, as would I, but he probably knows more than he knew when he promulgated that message. and. know- fng more, it Is his duty as a man and as an official to change his recommendation. The discugsion of the question of consti- tutional law was continued until 5 o'clock. Hoar made the closing observation, in which he took sharp issue with the prin- ciples enunciated by Foraker. He held that the doctrine proposed to be appiled i to Porto Rico and the Philippines would ‘! result in a despotism, and it would be none the less a despotism because it was to be carried into effect by moral men of high ctvilization. - ROBBINS UNSEATED. Republican Gains His Place as Re- sult of a Contest. WASHINGTON, March 8—The House to-day unseated G. A. Robbins, a Demo- crat, from the Fourth District of Ala bama, and seated in his stead William F. Aldrich, a Republican, who has been threa times a contestant from the same district on the ground of fraud, and who is now given his seat for the third time by a Re- publican house. The vote was a strictly party one. This case out of the way, a new rule was brought in to set aside the day ses- sions on the second and fourth Fndar of each month for pension legislation. The rule limited debate on each bill to ten minutes on a side, but this provision was withdrawn upon the assurance of Mr. Richardson, the minority leader, that his side of the house would not indulge ia filibustering. —————— ATLANTIC LINERS TO USE MARCONI'S SYSTEM Steamships of North German Lloyd Company Will Be Fully Equipped for Wireless Telegraphy. NEW YORK, March 8.—The North Ger- man Lloyd line will adopt the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy on its fast Vessels as a means of communicating with the land on each side of the Atlantic. Gustay H. Schwab, general managing agent, will urge the erection of a lofty mast on the Nantucket south shoal light- ship, about 240 miles from Fire Island. This will enable steamships to communi- cate with New York fifteen or sixteen hours before they reach their pier. A series of experiments conducted on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, which has arrived here, was successful in every way. From a sprit which had been run from the mainmast until its tip was feet above the deck ome of Marconi's neers, who was on_board, communicated satisfactorily with Borkum Island, in_the mouth of the Ems. On the island of Borkum had been planted a mast 185 feet high. Owing to the disparity in the height of the spars the Borkum sta- tion received messages from the Kaiser e while the ship was fifty miles away, whereas the ship re- ceived messages from the island only at a distance of thirty-five miles. Greetings and_business messages were exchanged Captain Barteimann with the officials the line in Bremen. electrical en | Second tie—Honor Bright beat Echo, : 44 g:'(;g.:r)_ bfl“ T"rzf‘lte'pH: ‘l‘winr (fi‘"y ‘(;?i 1’ Q4444444300440 444 0“ tsy Barrow, 5—1; t y Hueo, .:’:; ::'m%nndore b\e:::::b?.': .
