The Gala Night or the
Festival.

CINCINNATI, June 19.-Another beautiful
day has da1ned upon the throng Of pleasure
seekers, and the street cars and iuciine-plane
cars were crowded with visitors Great
preparations are being made for monster
picnic q Woods park next Sunday. The
exercises gill consist of addresses from Mayor
Jacobs, Hon. Thomas l.. Young, Rev. Dr.
Llillenthal, and a variety Of concerts by the
visiting bands ami societies. TIE procession
will move from the city at an early hour,
headed By the officers of the Saengerfest. The
indications are that fifty thousand people will
visit the PARK that day
This was the gala night OF the festival and
the house was fairly packed, probably FIVE
thousand people being present. An extra
number was inserted and the concert com
menoed with the GtJ'ma1l Battle YOsD and
Prayer, which was rendered so effectively last
evening by Mr.. Remmertz aud chorus. The
programme was Shuman's DaS GLdsck con
Ede''haH,. and portion OF 1t was fairly
gwen. The grand attraction OF the evening
was the MoHsOni Requiem written by Verdi
In honor of Alessandro Maneoni, and was
frs performed at Milan, In 1874. The solos
were sustained By Madame AlVsleben,
Miss Crarch, Mr.. Fritsch and Mr.
Whitney, with chorus of mixed
voices. The latter was exceedingly good in
execution, and fairly won honors. The duet
Kindly, Jesus. RscOliect lie, sung by
Mad2Ine AIVsleOSn ara MISS Crancn, held
the audience spellbound. and ct its close a
burst Of applause, hearty and long,
continued until repetition of the air was
gained. As whole, the rendition of the en-.
tire number was a great credit to the soloists,
choruses and orchestra. Thus far this
Saengerfest has fully demonstrated that the
change in lis construction bY permitting a
mixed chorus was directed by wisdom and it
has been productive OF great musical success.

THE FRANCO-AMERICAN TREATY
Of Commerce Discussed by the CHAM

A Wide Variance OF Opinion
Between the Representatives
OF the Two Governments
as to Its Results.

SAN Francisco, June ia special
meeting of the chamber Of commerce was
held this afternoon for the purpose of con-
s1dering the proposed treaty between France
and the United States. There was an un-
usually large attendance, which included
several gentlemen not members OF the cham
Der. Leon Choteau, representing the French
interests, had addresses printed, giving the
date, favor and adoption of the treaty, and
showing how far he thought this country
would be benefited by the almost free intro
duction of French wines and other articles OF
consumption.
c. A. Wetnora followed In a carefully pre-
pared speech, intended to show that the pro-
visions Of the proposed treaty would operate
ipjuriously to this country. He said NJ. Cho-
teau was here as the paid agent of small
body of manufacturers, and had no more to
do with the government of France than a
private citizen. He referred TO the disconten-
prevailing in England over free trade relat
tons with France, and produced long array
of statistics in support of his position.
Congressman Luttrell spoke against the
proposed treaty, charging on the advantage
il would give French manufacturers over
American.
After session of two hours and half, the
following resolutions passed unanimously:
ReSoLled That this chamber Is decidedly and en-
phatcaly opposed TO the proposed reciprocity treaty
with France.
Rea0lCed That our representatives IN congress be
requested to their utmost efforts to defeat any
such treaty.

FALL RIVER, June 13.-The mill owners,
refusing to submit their differences with the
splnners to arbitration, the committee of the
latter will determine tonight, subject to
ratification tomorrow night, in which five
mills the strike for higher wages
shall begin. The mill agents propose
shutting down all mills, and if such action
is taken twelve thousand inds will be
thrown out of work. Should the lockout be
protracted, there will be great suffering and
misery.
The meeting of the spinners' committee,
held tonight, was nearly unanimous in the
opinion that all the mills should be struck.
at general meeting of the spinners, to-
morrow night, the whole body is expected to
take action on this question. 1t is stated
that there Is little or no doubt, however, but
the sentiment will be for such a strike. It is
further proposed that the strike begin next
Monday, instead of waiting till July Ist Sew
eral OF the committee tonight expressed
themselves In favor of striking at once, with
out giving any notice, but the committee
were not unanimous on this point. Secretary
Howard said he personally favored giving
notice, but as some wished to strike at once,
the question would also be submitted, at to-
morrow g meeting. The meeting will undoubt-
eddy be large one, as numerous committees
are to report, several resolutions to be voted
on, and the gravesGuestlon of throwing fifteen
thousand persons out of work, causing loss
of wages of one hundred thousand dollars
per week, be thoroughly discussed. Secretary
| Howard states that the splnners are in good
| condition for a strike, having several thou
sand dollars In their treasury and no outside
aid yet received, and that the spinners coulC

who filed petition for maudamus against
the comptroller to compel him to show cause
why he should not pay over to him the costs
accruing in his court, instead of to the chair

lows petition. saying that the legislature, by
the act of 1879, clearly indicated that, instead
of drawing the warrant in favor of the clerk
for costs accrued against the State in criminal
cases, as provided in section $50 of the code,
the comptroller should draw it in favor of
the county judge, who is directed by said act
to pay the amount over to the county trustee,
to be kept by him, separate and apart from
