4 LECTURE on "PARSIFAL"
Mr. KREHBIEL DESCRIBES AND EXPLAINS IT
FOR THE sEIDL SOCIETY AT
BRIGHTON BEACH.

Thu ladies of the Seldl Society and their guests met
IN the parlors of the Brighton Beach Hotel yesterday
afternoon to listen TO exposition of Wagners
"Parslfal' by II. E. Krehbel, who for two hours de
lighted and instructed his hearers with his remarks
ON the meaning of the great composers~sast creation
Mr. Krehbiel's work of Interpretation was admirably
supplemented by the assistance of Anton seidl. who
gave on the piano a sympathetic Illustration OF Mr.
Krehbiels remarks starting with the assumption that
his hearers knowledge of the opera was confined TO
the selections generally heard in the concertroom
inasmuch as Parsfalo is reserved for exclusive
representation at the little theatre in Bayreuth, Mr..
Krehbe gave terse and graphic account Of the story
of Parsifa" describing the leading characters and
scenes Of an opera in which the composer found his
materials in the legends Of the Holy Grail and in
which the religious element is deep and persistent
As drama Parsifan described akin in action
and sentiment to the ancient Greek drama. in which
music decoration and panomme were so closely inter
dependent 1t was impossible, the lecturer said. to
understand the music drama of "ParsfaF without
entering into comprehension of the profound religious
spirit in which 1t was conceived and executed by
Wagner An analysis Of the leading motives or
typical musical phrases of the opera was then given,
Mr. Krehbiel explaining each in DETAIL While Mr.
seidl interpreted them on the piano.
Especially instructive was Mr.. Krehbiels descrip-
ton Of the significance of the prelude TO Parsifa"
and the understanding of his remarks was quickened
by Mr. Seidls recital of IL upon the instrument. In
the same manner, though not at such length. " The
Flower Girl Sceneo and the Good Friday Spell" music
were explained and interpreted and after this the
fortunate hearers went 10 the Music Hail. where the
three selections mentioned were given with all the
skill and spirit characteristic Of Mr. Sedls orchestra
given to Mr.. Krehbiel and Mr.. sedl for their work
OF explanation and description by the members OF the
Sedl Society and their guests.
After the concert the society gave a reception to
MISS susan b. Anthony.

THE VENEZUELAN CLAIMS.
LETTER FROM THE Ex.UNITED STATES COM
MISSIONER.
TO Edftor Of the Trtbune.

TO the Edftor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The special dispatch from Washington on ,h'S
subject published I'm The Tribune Of september Is III
many respects erroneous The new Venezuelan COM
missioner is not Senior Silfa, but Senior Andraud' ~
was not the late Mr.. +. ID. Culver, but myself VINO
was Commissioner for the United States at the CARACAS
Arbitration in 1867 and 1868. The late Mr.. sth"ei
had no connection with the Caracas Commission nc
was for a short time United states Minister Kfs"ot,
I'm Venezuela, but left that country before inc ava
OF the commission were rendered. The sioIles eon,
Meeting Mr. stilwcl with the Commission. circula'e'
so widely in 1876. during the Springer lh'oS'f
CATION were without foundation. His pro'nor'
in-law Mr. william 2. Murray, was attorney lor
many of the claimants at Caracas, and ai'cr tio
Venezuelan Government had failed to pay the nrs'
instalment due under the treaty in FEBRUARY loo0'
charges were made that had been Improperly in,'
enced by stllwell and Murray in rendering my ue,
csions The truth is that stilwell never in'erioIou
with the proceedings of tne Commission. and that /
decided some of the largest claims for winch "'i
ray was attorney against his clients
The rejected claims amounted 10 more lnai
IS coo 900: those allowed TO less than Sl'ZoooOO'
The Venezuelan Government has paid none OIL ui'
awards, but only small sums from time 10 'l"e vi
account-n all less than half the accrued interest at
FIVE per cent on the total sum awarded. your
cOrresp ondent says:
"Parties who seemed to have an understanding
with the Commission issued bonds on number Oh
claims and they were sold TO innocent purchaS'r ;,
principally in New-York and Indiana and le" III
New England" , nav
This is unfounded. Certificates of award pay
able in equal annual instruments with sem, a i
interest at five per cent, issued by the Lonn'
mission according to the Requirements OF the ueAN
of April 25 1865 under which the Commission Wa

Venczuela's charges Of fraud. Congress passed an
act declaring these awards final and subsstng aeas.

legislation the said certificates changed HANDS lor
value 10 a large extent throughout the country; l.,
Now that the work OF the Caracas commission -
