With this evening’s production of “Das | Rheingold” at the Grand Opera-house will begin the first presentation in San Fran- | cisco of the great Wagner trilogy, *Der Ring des Nibelungen,” by long odds the t important event of this important upon the Icelandic sagas, | pted with the singular genius of choice | ngvishing the loretti of all the mu- | dramas und fitted with the noblest mes {1, marvelous sympathy t, the “Ring"’ is the hignest ihe genius which earlier pro- the familiarly worshiped “Lohen- and #lannhauser.” The same ele- tal stmplicity of phrase distinguishes | the work, tie same marvelous richness of combination, an even further splendor of orchestration and an even stranger, closer | | sympathy of theme with the emotional | essence of the momeat. He who runs may read the story in the music if famil- jar with a few basic themes, which, woven | and interwoven, interiacing and 'chang- | ing color continually, tell the glorious tale in 2 graphic song without words. “Das Rheingold,” which will be given this evening, is a prelude to the trilogy proper, which consists of “‘Die Walkuere, " “Slegfried’ and “‘Gotterdaemmerung,” & story which, Chinese fashion, takes four nights in the telling. It is the history of | the evolution of the hero from the god, | of the old god's downfall through the | Fower of gold. “‘Das Rheingold,” first of the cycle, tells of the gold as if firet ex- ists in its harmlessress and pure beauty, the playihing of the lovely daughters of the Rbine. Then the story of the theft of the Rheln- £0ld by Alberich, the dwarf, is told, of his renunclation of love, by which secrifice only can the gold be obtained, of the forg- ing of the “Ring” from it, whose pos- sessor shall have all power. 'Then of how Wectan, father of the gods, selzes the dwarf ‘and the ring, which Alberich has cursed, surrendering it as ransom for the | Goddess of Love Frela to the giants who have claimed the goddess as reward for their task of buflding Walhalla. But the | curse clinging to the gold has affected the god and he foresees the end of his em- pire. He determines then to found a race | of heroes which shall take the place of the | Bods, and still higher, in the world’s need, and the closing scene shows Wotan in a yelled Walhalia gathering the gods about him as they pass over the Rainbow bridge. »ie e The cast to-night will include Susan | Strong, Maryill, Scheff. Olitzka and | Scbumann-Heink; Van Dyck, Bispham, Muhimann, Blass, Journet, Dufriche, Bars and Hubbenet. Damrosch will con- duct, the orchestra and chorus are all there and the difficult stage settings are | said to be a marvel of mechanical perfec- | ion.

There are | “‘acrobatic singing and dancing,” “sing- ing and talking comedians,” and Gordon | and Hunt, novelty musicians. The pro- gramme ends with a helter-skelter knock- about turn in which Dan Waldron, Mas- | ter Martin, James Connors and John Mor- ton are perticipant B Herrmann, the magiclan, opened what promises to be a most successful engage- ment at the Alhambra Theater yesterday. Since the conjurer’s last visit here he has studled up a lot of new business, which | was received with great applause last | evening by a large audience. Herrmann’s star act is the cremation of a female sub- | Jject on the stage and then scattering the | ashes of the fair damsel among the audi- | ence. Another clever trick consists in | filling an ordinary cask with water, then | turning the barrel upside down, whcre-‘ upon instead of water flowing out twelve ducks waddle out of the cask.

H. Her- | rt and Joe Cawthorne, both well known here. Miss Neilsen carries her own or- chestra and every scene in the opera is specially pnin!ed_ for‘ her.. ““The Jolly Musketeer’” begins its second | week at the Tivoll Opera-house to-night, | and it has had so far one of the most | successful runs among comic opera annals | at the popular little opera-house.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Reports to| the chief signal officer from Manila indi- | cate that the War Department has made | an important discovery in connection with submarine cable work in tropical waters. One of the War Department cables that was shipped to Manila and put down for interisland communication was of the rubber Insulated variety. The English | cable experts in the island predicted a | speedy destruction by the teredo, a sub- | marine boring worm, which eats every- | thing short of rallroad ifon that is sub- merged In the water. The English cable | with gutta percha insulation resists the attacks of this insect for only avout a year, and it is necessary to insert in the | cablée armor a thick continuous wrapper | of copper to prevent the teredo from bor- | ing ciear through to the conducting wires | and short-circuiting the cable. This cop- | per protection adds considerably to the expense of the cable without adding to its | efliciency for telegraphic purposes. It] | seems, however, that the American cable | with its rubber insulation, which has been | down for two years, is still in good work- ing order. Colonel Allen, chief signal officer in the islands, has advised General Greely that the cable service is at present organized on a very effective footing and will be able to lay any amount of cable which the department may see fit to ship to Manila. | DENOUNCE MOB LAW. | Citizens of Colorado Springs Hold a | * Mass Meeting. | COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov | A mass-meeting of the citizens of Col- | rado Springs was held in the chavel of | the Colorado College this afternoun to | volce sentiments on the Limion lyaching. | The meeting was to have been held last | | | | | Wednesday, but was postponed on ac- count of the storm. 'he building wa: ol acked and resolutions denouncing faw and a reversion to the days of bar- barity were passed unanimously. The resolutions closed with the following ap- peal to the people of the United States: Finally, we protest to our countrymen throughout the land that, as & law-abiding people, we share with them the hazards of mob ebullition in_revolt at nameless horrors, and claim with them to be judged not by flagrant exceptions, but by the steady peace | and order of our daily Jife. Fimn S rmad STRICTER METHOD ORDERED. | WASHINGTON, Nov. 2%.—Brigadler | General Hughes, commanding the Depart- | ment of Visayas, Philippine Islands, has issued an order directing that all prison- ers captured within the geographical lim- its of the departments and who are in In- surrection against the United States or who are aiding those who are in insurrec- tion be held in strict confinement as pris- oners of war. Ceneral Hughes also issued a clrcular @irecting, in connection with the ‘“notice of amnesty” recently issued, that ‘“per- sons ccming in and claiming to have dis- covered their error and wishing to quit carrying arms and to return to their peaceable pursuits must hereafter make a _formal declaration in writing acknowl- edging and accepting the soverelgnty and authority of the United States in the arcaipelago.” SKELETON OF A GIRL FOUND IN A WELL PANA, IiL, Nov. %.—Much excitement was occasloned In this vicinity to-night by the finding of a skeleton of a girl, presumably 12 or 13 years of age, in a well on the Brunot farm, four miles north of here.
