Musin,s Return Concert.

Few who formed part of the audience
that listened to the Musin concert on
Monday night will fail to be present this
evening, when he plays return engage
ment at Maguire's Theater. To these it is
unnecessary to enlarge on the SURPRISING
excellence OF the programme given. To
those who were not present, it can only be
said that no words OF praise are too warm
to write Of that wonderful musician him
self, the charming vocalist, Nine. Tanner;
the silver-voiced tenor Mockridge. and the
subtly skilful pianist, Shonert. They
must be heard to be appreciated. Each
one is an artist OF rare merit, such as is
seldom heard together. Musin is a genius
who has attained such skill that the
most difficult feats OF violin playing seem q
mere bagatelle. All shades OF expression
are easily at his command. Nine. Tanner
has a voice OF rare sweetness and
perfect cultivation, which she manages with
q grace that captivates her hearers.
There are few such tenor voices as that
of Mr.. Mockridge in the world. They are
rare as diamonds of the first water. Mr..
Shonert as pianist displays skill that
only comes of aptitude early cultivated &C
companied by genius to become possessed
by and truly interpret the compositions OF
the masters. No finer music will be heard
in Butte for many day than that to be
heard tonight.

Auckland Advices State that NO Figh
Occurred Minnesota for War.
AUCKLAND, March 14.-Advices just re
eeived from Samoa show that there was nc
basis for the sensational rumor of the en-
gagement between the Nipsic and the Ger
man corvette Olga. Far from this, the
German officials on the island have en-
tirely given up their aggressive policy, the
proclamation OF martial law has been pub
licly withdrawn. and the Germans have
abandoned all claim to the right of search
ing incoming vessels for contrabands of war
Both these steps have net with the hearty
approval of all foreign residents at Apia
and have had quieting effect. Unusual
tranquility prevails throughout the island.
Mataafa, however, has a force OF troops
estimated to be 5000 strong. Tamasse's
army consists of about 700 men.
The men-of.war, both German and Ameri.
can, still remain at Apia ready for any
emergency that may arise.
MINNESOTA FOR WAR.
ST.. PAUL, Minp., March 14.-In the
state legislature, yesterday, resolution
was introduced by Speaker Graves relating
to the foreign policy of the general govern
ment. The preamble recites that, whereas,
the cause of patriotism is advanced by the
knowledge that our national flag is seen
all over the world; that the time is ripe
for the commerce OF Eastern nations to
move westward to and through the United
States.
Therefore, the legislature resolves that
the general government should adopt a
vigorous foreign policy; that the United
States should compete for the com.
merce of the world; that money
should be appropriated from the
treasury for the constant construction and
operation of steamship lines from New York
to European and South American ports,
also from San Francisco and Tacoma to
Japan and Australia. That sea coast for.
tifications should bestrengthsned and null
tiplied; that treaty rights of the United
States should be religiously preserved; that
there is cause for deep solicitude in regard
to the acts of the German Empire in the
matter of the late Samoan affairs, mas
much as the blow OF the Germans seems to
be aimed at the commerce OF the United
States and not at the savages OF the Ss-
mean Islands.
Representatives of the state in Congress-
are instructed to use their influence in
carrying out the suggestions OF the resolu-
tions.

Miss Birdsall's Readings.

The public are pretty thoroughly ap-
prised by this time of the treat in store
for them at the Public Library benefit to-
morrow evening, at Maguire's theater.
The lady whose readings will form the
principal part Of the entertainment has q
reputation in the East as a most powerful
dra matte reader and impersonator. The
charm of such performances lies in the
magnetism which the reader can
establish between herself and
her audience, and when men OF established
reputation and high education testify to
her developing this quality over her audi
ence in the highest degree. it may be taken
for granted that a literary treat OF extra
ordinary excellence and merit is in store for
those who are present on Friday evening at
Maguire's opera house.

chase OF bait and other necessary outfit,
