If the performance did not reach the Rgh level of the first presentation this geason there was little falling off from {t. Toscanini’s genius was permeating. He made the orchestra's playing of the Rhine journey a delight and of the funeral march an Imposing ceremonial. He caused the chorus of the Gibichungs to sing lustily and In tune and to act with Intelligence and meaning. Under Ns commanding and sympathetic leader- ship each.of the principal singers was properly subordinate to the whole con- ception, As he entered the orchestra pit before the last act he was heartily applauded and at the end the large audience insisted that he should share the curtain calls. Leon Rains as Hagen. A newcomer was Leon Rains, first | basso of the Dresden Opera-House, who took the part of Hagen. Mr. Rains was born’ in New York and studied here with Oscar Saenger be- tore he went abroad to complete his training. His first appearance in opera was with the Damrosch-Ellls company in Philadelphia in 1896. He has sung a Covent Garden and at Bayreuth a been in the D years, with a ¢ He {3 a “guest! ‘and will be seen again only as Mephis- topheles in ‘'Faust.” And Mr. Rairs's Hagen last night was & veritable Mephistopheles. He wore the conventional heavy black beard, tt the upper part of his face was tnat of His Majesty of the nether segiona, tHe and slender, and In place of the t 2 of tradition, he present ! | with the father’s declaration of happi |ness, brought @ round of applause CHINA \ REGENT Vieuille, who sang the father of Louise | with sympathy, TELS TAFT HIS REFORM PLANS rd In Private Letter Gives Pledge of Sincerity and Explains Ousting of Minister. PEKING, Feb. the empire has caused to be sent to %.—The Regency of President-elect Willlam H. Taft a con munication In the form of a private let- ter in which Its ideas and the attitude of the Regent and his advisers on the most vital questions now before the em- pire are set forth at considerable length. This communication Js the first direct? expression of the Regent's views on the various subjects touched on, and it comes at a time when It fa known that the Regent js personally anxious re- garding the interpretation by foreign Powers of the recent dismissal from office of Grand Councillor Yuan Kai and the American and British official action following this step. The oMectal of the regency who com- posed the letter to Mr. Taft lays em- Phasis upon the fact that the recent ministerial change was entirely a fam- * fly and personal matter, and that It does + not signify any changes In the Internal or external policies of the empire; on the contrary, the Government purposes vig- orously to carry out reform, . In the matter of the consumption of oplum, the communication describes this as China's humillation, but it says the habit can be eradicated, and that the United States is helping to this end, Concerning Manchuria, the Regency recites that the United States Is fully cognizant of the recent proposals look- ing to a Japanese-American agreement to help China in the government of this territory, and it trusts In American ald. The Regency expects Japan to with- draw from Manchuria, and continuing in thfs connection the communication says that lasting peace is dependent | testimony constantly pouring in proves | upon the return of the Japanese to their own fslands.
