Which Chorus and Orchestra
Largely Contributed.

CINCINNATI, May 16.-The first evening
concert OF The Fifth May Festival at Music
Hall, was attended by 1900 people. The
weather is cool but pleasant. The audience
was prompt in coming, and Theo. Thomas
began the performance With closed doors
against late comers at 7:30 O'Clock. His ap-
pearance with Materna was received with
warm applause, but when Miss Cary ap-
peared, who has been soloist at all festivals
from first to last, she was received with
shouts. The concert began with Mozart's
RequieId, with
MATERNA, CARY, CANDIDUs AND WHITNEY
AS soLoIsTs,
Whiting at the organ. The Requiem was
received rather coldly, with the exception
of the "Benedictus." The chorus appeared
to excellent advantage, though its greatest
work of the evening was in the closing part
of the programme. Beethoven's Eighth Sym
phony was received with rapturous applause,
especially after the alIegretto movement. The
playing of the orchestra seemed perfect.
MATERNA
sang the aria "Abscheulicher, from Beetho-
ven's Fidelio, and achieved a personal tri-
umph of unusual demonstrativeness. She
was recalled five times with shouts and clap
ping of hands. Once she dragged Theodore
Thomas on the stage with her, but his un-
swerving custom forbade an encore. After
the intermission Handel's Dettingen Ie Deum
was performed. In this the chorus won high
honor. The soloists were Miss Cary, Mr..
Toedt and Mr.. Remmertz. There are many
strangers in the city, and the indications are
that the remaining concerts will be fully at
ten led.

bill appropriates all the commission asked
for, the committee believing this is a work
of such national importance and of such q
peculiar and intricate character that the
commission should not only be left entirely
unhampered by conditions of any kind, but
should also have abundant means for the
completion of the great work at the earliest
possible time. The report says: SIT is of

public from the undue exactions of railroad

PERUVIAN MATTERS.
MINISTER TREscoTT RECEIVED By PRESIDENT
MONTERO,

MONTERO.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-Senor Elmore, the
Peruvian minister, has received two cable
dispatches from Peru, through the minister
in Paris. The first conveys the important
news that on the 25th of April Special En-
voy Trescott was received by President Mon
tero, in the interior Peruvian city Of
Huaraz, and presented his credentials
as minister of the United States in a
public audience, with the usual Of
fetal ceremonies. The same cable dispatch
informs Elmore that Trescott, in a subse-
quent special conference, presented the
Chilian project of truce, the principal con-
ditions of which were that Chilli should
keep the province of Tarapaca as conquest,
and that Peru should be obliged to sell Chilli
the Peruvian province of africa. Other tele-
grams announce that Peru rejects the pro-
posed truce under those conditions.
Elmore, in commenting on the news, says
the province of Tarapaca is worth 81 ,000,-
100000, and that undsr the proposed ar
rangement Chill would virtually buy the
province of africa with Peruvian money
derived from the province of Tarapaca.
