The Boston Jubilee.


COLISEUM, June 24-The management of the
programme tor the concert to-day was not of a
character to be commended if remunerative and
appreciative audiences are desired. 1t had
been publicly announced that the oratorio day
had been postponed for one week. Many per-
sons will therefore be disappointed TO know that
another decision was made, and the oratorio of
"lsrael in Egypt" was sung to-day by the socie
ties under the immediate direction of Mr. Zerrahn
They numbered about twelve hundred singers
and of course sang the music admirably 1t
would have been a rich and rare treat to lovers
of oratorio music if it could have been heard in
smaller building.
This famous composition Of Handel includes
some of the finest choruseS ever written but they
were lost in this big and noisy shed, and were
not so impressive as the signing of the Handel
and Haydn society alone in Music hall, nor so
enjoyable. II seemed farcical to bring out Bos-
ton sosts for this occasion; but MessrS. Winch
and Rudolphsen, in the stirring baritone duet,
"Ihe Lord is man of war, achieved great sue
cess, and were heartily encored. Madame Ru-
dersdorff did not shine particularly brilliantly
as solost, and Mrs. Barry of course could not
be expected to fill the coliseum with her voice.
The choruses were received by an audience of
less than 1ve thousand with considerable apathy.
An audience of four or five hundred in Me
chanics hall, Worcester, would be larger for
that building than was the audience for this one
to day. IL was cool enough in and about Bos-
ton. stiff and chilly cast wind cut through
the thin clothing and made many wish for
thicker coats. Scarcely fan was to be seen in
motion, and the demand for ice cream and cecil
ing drinks was sensibly diminished at the coli
scum refreshment rooms.
A series OF evening concerts was inaugurated
this evening, the band from Paris performing
programme of nine selections in admirable
style President Grant will be present to-mor-
row afternoon, when all the bands will play in
his honor.
Erening.-The band Of the French Garde Re-
publicaine gave a concert this evening, which,
owing to injudiciOus advertising, was attended
by only about 10000 people. The performance
was superb in every respect. Each number was
aDplauded to the echo For artistic merit ii has
never been eXcelled here. The piccolo and cor
net solos of Ellie and Sylvester especially aroused
the admiration of the critical.
The coliseum lights up brilliantly.
The English Grenadier band will occupy the
coliseum tomorrow evening.

The Geneva Arbitration.


LONDON, June PA dispatch from Geneva
to the News, denies that there is ANYTHING in
connection with the Alabama claims arbitration
to indicate prolonged stay of the English and
American commissioners there. MIR. Waite, of
the American counsel, has gone to Paris where
bis wife is sick. The Americans are hopeful of
a satisfactory termination of the arbitration.
Both sides have received letters and dispatches
form their governments since adjournment last
Wednesday.
Bancroft Davis, agent of the United States,
got an important telegram from Secretary Fish
yesterday, which the News correspondent has
reason to believe is a final reply of America.
General Sherman, now at Zunich, is expected
here.
The News, in commenting upon the present
status OF the arbitration says ii thinks Greeley
prospects for election to the presidency have
spurred Grant to vigorous efforts to save the
treaty.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-Contrary 10 reports
from Geneva, it is ascertained from an official
source that no negotiations are in progress for
new supplemental treaty. Such a course is
considered unnecessary in consequence of the
ruling out Of the tribunal the claims for indi-
rect damages. During a recent conversation
with President Grant, he said that everything
which had been done by Secretary Fish rea-
tive 10 the treaty of Washington was with his
full concurrence, and therefore the responsibility
of diplomatic action did not entirely rest upon
that othcer. In other words, they were in &C.
cord upon the subject.
GENEVA, June 24.-[World special 1.-The
tribunal meets tomorrow. The English are re-
turning hastily from Chamonx. This earlier
meeting confirms the belief that a settlement
has been made.
GENEVA, June 4.-It is announced that the
tribunal of arbitration of the Alabama claims
will hold meeting tomorrow instead OF We'd
nesday, the day fixed at the last adjournment
of the court, Count Sclopis, president of the
board, having to-day recalled the absent arbi
traitors by telegraph.

Councilman Hewitt said that there appeared to
be something behind the curtain yet the contracts
were not made in any different manner last year.
The question now under consideration ia a legal
one and it is for the city solicitor to decide in re-
lation TO the legality of the contract on printing
he should vote for the Investigation with the firm
belief that all charges would fall to the ground.
Councilman O'Gorman did not understand that
the order reflected on the present government, but
on the past governments. If the business is not
conducted as 1t should be 1t should be astertaned
and if there are any grounds for the report let it be
known.
Councilman Fiske asked that searching investi-
cation be made
Councilman Reed stated that he had given the
matter great deal of consideration before offering
the order, and thought that If anything wrong
II should be investigated, and the fault found with
the parties who are to blame. The whole govern
ment should not be made TO suffer for the dongs of
any of its members
Councilman Hewitt said that there seemed to
have been feeling among the people that the pres
ent city government must break down. 1t has
been thrown out that the sewer assessment would
be fatal TO 1t, yet they had done what the admins
tration for i've years previous had failed 20 do
There is no charge Of fraud except in the printing
contract.
Councilman Ross considered the order for inyes-
tlgatton as being ill-timed; complaints have been
made for years past that there was corruption in
the city government, but nothing has ever been
proved.
Councilman Pratt did not believe that any one in
the council thought there corruption, and the
only investigation necessary was to see If there are
any illegal contracts.
Councilman Hewitt was of the opinion, when the
order first offered that he should vote for it, but
he had changed his mind and should vote against it,
as he did not consider that an investigation was re-
quired
Councilman Towne believed that light should be
thrown upon the doings Ofthe council, and in JUS
tice to President Reed, the members of the conn
Gil and their constituents an investigation should be
made.
Councilman Hewett asked If there were not more
rumorS atioat last year when no investigation was
NADER
Councilman To nne said that there were rumors
in regard to the action of former city governments
and the parties who hadimade the charges were in
the ascendant In the present government.
The order was finally negatived by the following
vote:
Yeas-Ames, C0nlin, Fiske O'Gorman, Parker,
Towne, Walker, Reed; total, 8.
