ADJUSTMENTS.
HANS Won BULow.


The inclement weather last evening seemed to have
very little effect upon the attendance at Chckering
Hall at the sixth concert of Hans Won Bllow He
played Rats concerto, IN minor, opus 1856, which
has already been made known to the American public
year ago, by Miss Lima Luckhardt at a Thomas sym
phony concert, and by Mr. S B. Mills at a Brooklyn
Philharmonic concert Even beneath the trained
fingers Of such artist as Won Buow it
did not make the effect that might be desired
Tho opening allegro is full OF immense technical DIFF
hculties, which the pianist easily overcame The
orchestra Commenced the dnddntc and just at that
time some ladies aud gentlemen being shown to
their seats by usher Bulow at once stopped the
orchestra and compelled DR.. Damrosch 80 wait until
what he considered interruption ceased The
second movement delivered with infinite skill
by the pianist and yet made perceptibe effect
account of Its inherent lack of inspiration the fault
only, of the composer. The concluding allegro with
Its bold martial theme the feature of the
work. The most pronounced success made by Bllow
IN his New York concerts in the Poonase in Il
major, by Weber arranged for piano and orchestra by
Liszt HIS performance of this work was wonderful
1t Is brilliant in the extreme and the tumultuous en-
core to which the pianist obliged respond tes-
titled as to the appreciation Of the audience of his
playing. 1t was the greatest achieved by
Bdlow this city He played also two works by
Liszt-an etude and 'Recollections Of Italy" We have
already criticised them At the matinee to-day he re-
peats last Monday nights programme the feature of
which is the Russian concerto, by rscharkowsky.

The correspondence between the United States and

day. has reference to that part Of the Treaty of Wash

either country of fish of all kinds excepting fish pre-
served in oil Congress, however, in amending
the tariff, provided that all foreign caught
fish imported otherwise than in barrels half barrels
shall pay fifty cents per 100 pounds. The Canadians
contend that this duty contraventon of the Treaty
Of Washington. The Secretary OF the Treasury some
time ago he subject having been officially brought to
his attention. said that his duty to follow the law,
and that the remedy with Congress 1t is, there
FORE probable that this subject will be by the
