Although no statement has been given out relative |to France's future line of action, an announcement of Bourgeois that the | Ministry will not participate in the de- | bate on the foreign affairs budget Tues- | day is regarded as a somewhat un- | hopeful sign. This decision, coming after a conference on Saturday even- | ing between the Foreign Minister and | Prince von Radolin, the German Em- | bassador to France, is .considered to show that the Morocean knot has not vet been untied and that the end of | the conference is not in sight; but | hopes are still undiminished that the delegates will find a solution of the | difficulty. The position of Bourgeois is rendered more difficult owing to the uncompro- ng attitude of the principa! jour- which oppose concessions. Temps takes the lead in this respect, saying that France has reached her ut- most limit relative to both the police and bank questions and this view support of a very influential body of opinion. Therefore Bourgeols hesitates to show signs of willingness to com- promise the matter by a give and take method, as he knows any further yield- ing to the German claims will render the Ministry unpopular to the last de- gree.

The recent death of Thomas H. Lang- ley, a‘member of the Guiteau jury, reécalls that he was the geventh of that famous jury to pass away. Nearly a quarter of a century has passed since the verdict was | rendered which condemned Guiteau to be hung, and from time to time stories have | been printed of the tragic ending of the several jurors who condemned him to death—all arising from the iliness of one of them some time after the law had been executed. The remaining five of the jury, John | Hamlin, Bright, Brawner, Wormley and Gates, are llving in Washington and are ncw what may be termed old men, as 52 | years was the average age of the jury twenty-four years ago. John P. Hamlin, who was foreman ot the jury, ncw in his eighty-third year, was seen at his home on Columbia Helghts yesterday. Mr. Hamlin has been for a number of years messenger to Sen- ator Morgan's committee at the Capitol. Speaking of Mr. Lamgley's death’ Mr. Hamlin said: : “He was a most consclentious man and .a good citizen. This death brings our | number down to five, regardless of all sorts of stories that have been printed of us—how we have lived and died since we hung Guiteau, who when our verdict was rendered invoked God's curse upon us. You know they have had me insane and in the poorhouse for years, but here I am, and four of my colleagues of that jury are still liveing in Washington, I be- lieve. “Seven of us have died natural deaths, and 1 expect that the remaining five of our number will pass awdy in the natural order of mortal dissolution. I have not regretted my action and I do not think that any member of the jury has ever re- gretted what he did,” added Mr. Hamlin. “The confinement of the jury was a long and arduous one, but we came h all right. After it was all over our auto- graphs were requested from all parts of the world. In reply to one sent to a little boy in Connecticut his mother sent a beautiful gold medal, a memorial the two hundredth anniversary of the found- ing of Yale College, which T have prized very much.”"—Washington Star. .=~ ' FRENCH OPPOSE [CZAR The | has the | “Blscuit | THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, MARCH S THIOPS JGAN AT Cossacks Fire Upon Railroad Men Gathered to Consider the Question of Striking ANARCHY KUTAIS IN Terrorists Throw Bombs at Soldiers and Wholesale Ex- ecutions Follow Arrests ST.

Pleased With Pupils From the United - States. SN e Special Dispatch to The Call. VIENNA, March 18. — Seventy-five years old last birthday, Theodore Les- chetlzky, the most famous pianoforte professor in the world and master of Paderewski and some of the other of the greatest of pianists, is working harder every day than many of his colleagues twenty years younger. With eyes unaimmed and his wonderful touch unimpaired, the professor teaches and studies and plays and composes with unabated vigor, in his charming villa in the “Cottage” district of Vienna. In ordinary times most of his day is taken up with pupils, but just now he is working in .another direction. He is going tu Leipsic to play some pieces for a sort of mechanical plano on the lines of the pianola, only, as is re- ported, much, more wonderful. It is fitted with cylinders somewhat on the principle of the phonograph, which are said te reproduce in a most wonderful manner the exact performance of the original player. Leschetizky has been engaged to play some of his own com- positions and also some of the great classic works for reproduction by these cylinders, and he {s practicing as hard every day for this object as the most ambitious young student could do. In spite of lessons and practices the professor contrives to “find time for composing and has just now completed a number of works which are in the hands of the publisher and will appear very shortly. There is a yolume of Scherzi, another of Nocturnes and a thi-d of twenty-four Preludes. All of the se are, of course, for the pianoforte. OFFER FROM AMERICA. Were he only a few years younger there is no doubt that Leschetizky would go to the United States. Several months ago he recelved a very flatter- ing offer through Mr. Damrosch to join the staff of the Carnegie Musical Con- gervatoire in New York. The remuner- ation suggested was very high, some- thing like $25,000, it is said, but the professor refused to entertain it. “I should much have liked to have gone to New York,” he said to me, “but 1 am now too old to make such an en- tire change in my manner of life as such a move would involve. Ten years ago 1 might have accepted the offer. Now I must be content to watch the development of the institute frpm here. It will, I am sure, be very interesting and of very great value to music and art in America.” en he expressed his régret that he had' never been able to go- America even for a holiday, but he coild enly get away from Vienna' in thé summer, when it would be altogether too -hot for him to think of visiting the United States. In Americans and everything conected with their country Leschetizky teels the greatest interest. A large proportion of his pupils come from there and many of them have done him great credit. Although he has frequently complained that they are somewhat stiff and mechanical in their playing when they first come over, he gives them the greatest praise for théir eagernéss and for study. “Study,” not 3 Yor the latter word he abhors, declaring that it should not be used or even mentioned in connection with music. “There is no work in art,” he says, “but study.” And so when an eager, bright, young American comes for his lessons and tells the professor how he has “worked hard” for five hours, he is frequently surprised and disappointed not to receive warmer commendation. PLEASED WITH PUPILS. There is another Anglo-Saxon point of view in which Leschetizky also ab- solulely refuses to share, viz.; “Time is money.” “No it i§ not,” he says, “not in art. It is a mistake to suppose that the time occupied in smoking a cigas- ette or in looking out of the window for ten minutes is all lost. It is nothing of the kind if the student has mean- while been thinking of his art and studies. Quite often the few minutes so spent are much more valuable than a whole hour’s drudgery over the key- board.” - For the old master has a horror of useless drudgery. He admits, of course, that hours of practice are requisite for technique, but he thinks that many 0SER HAS FATHER TIME o EUOSS00MOERSZNEINEEND - Lok el THEODORE LESCHETIZKY, THE FAMOUS COMPOSER, ACTIVE AT THE AGE OF SEVENTY-FIVE. - — LONDON CLANS YANKEE BEALTY 3 American Actresses ore in England and Are Then Annexed to British Stage i g Speclal Dispatch to The Call. LONDON, March 18.—It is quite like- ly that before either she or the pub- lic here realizes it May de Sousa, the pretty American songstress, who is now “principal girl” at Drury Lane, will have become an established stage fa- vorite in London and that in a few months more almost every one will have forgoten that she is a product of the United States. That seems to be the destiny of American stars of the Drury Lane pan- tomime, of whom there have been sev- eral recently. There was Madge Less- ing, for instance. Erstwhile the belle of the New York Casino, she made her London bow in the Christmas show at the Lane and directly it was over found herself offered engagements galore, with the result that she soon was lost to her native land. At the present mo- ment she is one of the most popular performers at the London Coliseum, where she recently introduced “My Irish Molly,” and is now singing other Amer- ican songs. ere - is also Marie George. An American favorite, too, she took the Drury Lane audiences by storm as the little Dutch girl in the ‘“Mother Goose™ pantomime, then became a top-liner at the Palace and other leading ‘“halls” and has lately been playing an American heiress in “The White Chrysanthemum,” the Criterion musical show which is soon to be ‘sent over to the United States. London, in fact, rather likes to borrow comely young women from the United States and then not give them back. Billle Burke is a good example; not to mention Edna May, who. by the way, is due at the Vaudeville pretty soon In Leslie Stuart's new p.ece, “The Bell of Mayfair.” Billle Burke came over here to sing a few songs at the Pavilion, but George Edwards saw and snapped her up, and she first appeared in the ‘“‘School Girl” and then in “The Duchess of Dantzic,” and latterly in “The Blue Moon" with the resuit that if Miss Burke now remembers that she was originally a daughter of the Stars and Stripes she Is one of the few who"do. Pauline Chase, too. The dainty “Pink Pajama Girl” "of “The Liberty Belles" may possibly return permanently to her own land, some day, but it hardly seems likely, for she has not only scored hugely with the public here and become a first favorite with the picture postcard buyers, but she has also won the artistic heart of J. M. Barrle, and it is not probable that he will allow her to be out of the cast of many of his future plays. She was one of the hits of his “Pantaloon” students spend altogether too much time at the piano. b Especially delighted is the professor with several of his old puplls who have returned to the United States and en- gaged in music and teaching. Every now and again one of them sends a pupil of his own ovér to Vienna for further {nstruction, and Leschetizky says he is someétimes amazed at the wonderful manner in which they have been taught. He follows, too, the work of American composers with the closest attention, and thinks very highly of it, a testimony all the more valuable because he is not inclined to favorable opinions over modern composers. “You Americans,” he said, “seek and try and find something; the secessionist school also seek and try, but they find nothing—there 18 the différence. I find very much that is encouraging and promising in ¢he music world in Amer- ica—much more, I must confess, than o in many parts of Europe. Too many musicians and composers heré are like some of those modern artists who aint some skin and bones and say ere is a woman.’ So with some of our modern composers, particularly in the French ‘Impressionist school,’ they write Something and call it music. But it is nothing of the kind.” And the professor struck a few banal notes on one of the two ‘rmpiuno- in his teaching room and gged his shoulders = contemptuously as he ex- pressed himself regarding the French “impressionists” and their works. In a mass of meteoric stone Professor Molssan, the celebrated hmh physi- cist, has discovered a number of dia- monds of microscopic dimensions, but of f:gn!n‘ octahedral form and perfect and likewise of his “Peter Pan,” and Americans Tmay have noticed that when Miss Chase was formally baptized at a London church the other day Mr. Barrie stood as her godfather and another per- son of equal distinction—Ellen Terry—as her godmother. To return to May de Sousa, however, | there are signs already that London is going to borrow her from the United States indefinitely, for as soon as her présent engagement at Drury Lane is fin- ished she is to appear with Harry Frag- son in a new musical play which Cosmo Hamilton, who collaborated with Seymour Hicks in “The Catch of the Season,” is now writing. Fragson, of course, is the “English Frenchman” who after making a great reputation in Paris appeared here for the first time in the Drury Lane pantomime this winter and scored a prompt success. ‘The.play which Hamilton Is writing for this pair of neweomers is noi named yet, but it promises well, and whether it suc- ceeds or not Miss de Sousa is not likely to be allowed to leave London she can sing and dance as effectively as she is now doing nightly in “Cinderella.” It was a lucky moment in which Marie — long as | BARC END TO LIFE Divorced Woman Shoots Her- self at Her Son’s Quarters at Leavenworth Barracks MELANCHOLIA DUE TO Ex-Wife of Von Dem Bussche Haddenhausen of Prussia Sends Bullet Into Head —— LEAVENWORTH, March 18.—Caroline von dem Bussehe, said to be the divorced wife of Baron von dem Bussche-Hadden- hausen, a German Baron of Berlin, com- mitted suicide by shooting at the home of her son, Second Lieutenant Carl Fred- erick von dem Bussche of the Elghteenth Infantry, U, 8.

VESSEL BURNS 0N LIKE TRP Steamship Atlanta Destroyed on Michigan’s Waters and All Escape Execept One SHEBOYGAN, Wis, March 18.—The Goodrich steamship Atlanta, which left this port for Milwaukee this morn- ing, was burned to the water's edge in Lake Michigan, twelve miles south of Sheboygan. The Atlanta was val- ued at about $150.000. The Atlanta left Sheboygan at 10 o'clock southbound with a ecrew of sixty men and two passengers. The fire was discovered at 11:15. The crew weére at once set to work fighting the flames, and the fight was kept up un- til 1 o'clock, when Captain McCauley decided to abandon the ship. The crew and passengers were put off in the lifeboats and were picked up by the tug Ressler without trouble, as there was no sea running. Soon after the steamship Georgia hove in sight and took aboard the crew and passengers of the burned vessel. The Georgia proceeded to this port, leaving the Atlanta a total wreck close to the beach, for which she had been run. It is thought the fire may have been started by a carelessly thrown ecigar. One life was lost in the wreck, Mike Hickey, a deckhand, who was drowned in trying to escape from the flames. PR — LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVED.

In saucy. rollicking com- edy that hovers on the edge of polite farce there is no one to compete with her—any that is just the sort of part she has in “All-of-a-Sudden Peggy,” pro- duced by Frohman at the Duke of York's this week. The occasion was especially interesting because the play Is by a new | author—Ernest Denny. Its story is not quite clear and would not be at all convinclug if it were net for the naturalness of its two chief in- terpreters, Miss Tempest and Gerald du Maurier; but its dialogue is delightfully bright and unforced, and it is filled with amusing incident. It seems that a middle- 18—Fr Dbark | aged peer, whose intelligence is confined to entomology, has invited to his house the Irish widow of a brother entomologist {and the widow has brought along her i harum-scarum, quick-witted daughter, Peggy.
