The Opera House Entertainment Last
Night.
1t is to be hoped that the audience at the
Opera House last evening did not represent
the exact fraction of the populace who prefer
true music to noisy clamor; if SO st. Panl can
no longer claim to be musical for where there
should have been, from the merits of the per-
fermance crowded house, there was not much
more than half an audience. But that those
who were psesent were appreciatiye of the
highest inspirations of divine art, was apparent
from the just bestowal of applause. To criti-

There is something in Miss Whinnery's voice
which at first is hardly pleasant or satisfactory
to the cultivated ear, but it is voice which
improves with acquaintance. It possesses some
very rich notes, and seems to gain in freshness

Her second number, 81 Must Sing was rem

surprised the audience, who awarded her an

The concert from the first number to the last

from the crowd usually attending variety

House Of Representatives.


WASHINGTON, March 12-After an cxplana-
ton by Mr.. Southland, disclaiming the au-
thorship of the joint resolution in regard to a
plural executive head the House went into
committee of the whole on the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill.
Mr.. Hale spoke of the great Importance of
the consular service of the country. 1t was of
vital consequence to commerce. TWAS the last
service which any discriminating nation hav-
ing much commerce and desiring it to grow,
would discourage It was because the pending
bill assailed both the diplomatic and consular
service, that he was now on the floor. The
gentleman who had charge of the bill (Single-
tom had spoken the other day about
the necessity of economy. He (Hale) admitted
that economy in government expenditures. if
seriously intended and if discriminatingly an
piled, was a primal duty Of the Legislature, hut
he asserted that none of these gentlemen who
set themselves up as advocates of economy
could afford or should be permitted to direct
their strokes in single direction thatwould Grip
pie the government while thcyswere in the tolls
of schemes that raid on the treasury, and would
in the end bankrupt it. He reminded Single
ton that his name had not appeared voting
against the bill for the relief of owners of dis
titled spirits in bonded warehouses; which
might have depleted the treasury to an amount
OF from two and a half to four million dollars.
Neither had any of the majority members on
the appropriation committee voted against it.

Munta,a<. Timber TAieses.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The communication
sent to the Senate to-day by the secretary Of the
interior, condemns the report of the special
agent sent to Montana to investigate timber
depredations. The secretary says, in regard to
it, that the examination of the special agents
report will show that the seizures and prosecu-
tions instituted were not directed against set
tlers and poor men going upon public lands to
gather frewood for their stoves, but against
speculators-the wood ring as the government
agent calls them, who depredate upon the pub
lie lands on 3 large scale in the way of an extern
sively organized enterprise for their own private
profit, and against mill owners, who manufac-
ture large quantities Of timber taken from
public lands into lumber for sale, and that the
amount charged by the government in settling
with the depredators constitutes bnt a small
portion of the profits of the latter. Consider
ing the equities of the case, in the opinion of
the department, there is no reason why citizens
Of Of the ter territory Of Montana should 9la
s ee osbe to trade carry on such KaS
or lumber without paying a fair price for it as
the people of other parts of the country have
to do. It is the duty of the apartment to exc
cute the laws as they are with. . due regard to
the interest of the government and the condi-
ton Of the people most nearly concerned, and
no reports have reached the department showing
such efforts to enforce the laws, unless re-
ductien Of the profits realized by those
who depredate upon public lands on large
scale be called by that name.
The secretary says am not aware nor have
yet learned that the taking and removing of
timber in violation Of the express statute is
any less an offense than the taking and re-
moving of any other kind of property in vio-
lation of express statute. The principal OBJ
ject sought in the adoption of the present sys-
tenn for the suppression of depredations
upon public lands, namely, to
stay further waste and devastation Of
timber growing thereon, has thus far in great
measure been accomplished, wherever the de-
partment has been able to obtain a final adjust
ment Upon the suits instituted. Parties who
hitherto carelcssly and recklessly cut timber
upon public lands now purchase and enter the
same in accordance with law or else refrain en-
tirely from that kind Of business. That this
result will be obtained everywhere if the law
be enforced / feel well assured. A complete
remedy, however. can only be furnished by APP
propriate legislation. This subject appears to
me of great Importance to deserve the
earnest consideration of Congress.
