The management of the New York Symphony Orchestra, of which Walter Damrosech is conductor, was surprised to hear that the citizens of Ottawa, Canada, are all worked up, to-day over the announcement that the or- ganization is to give a concert there on Feb, 16. The Damrosch organi- zation has given four concerts in Canada since the beginning of the year, two im Toronto, one in Mon- treal and one in Quebec. It appears that the destruction of the Parliament building im Ottawa has aroused the people of thut oity to white heat of resentinent against anything savoring in the remotest way of Germany.
