than nominal. representation in the Senate,
rs promised by the platform on which the

filed with the Secretary of State an opinion
declining to canvass the returns of the late

fined by the Constitution and a statute,
wherein the only authority given is to "open

omcers. This authority cannot be extend

give as a further reason that some returns
upon their face are uncertain and defective.

The Hess Company, at the Orpheum,
treated their patrons last evening to a
splendid rendering of VerdPs familiar
opera, with Miss Francesca Guthrie as
Leonora, Miss Fannie Myers as Azucena,
Mr.. Emil Butat as Manrco, Mr.. William
Mertens as the Count di Luna, and the rest
of the distribution by capable members of
the organization. Miss Guthrie was partic-
ularly happy in the role of Leonora. 1t is
one that demands large lyric qualities,
which she is eminently equipped by
nature and musical education to sup
ply. In the rendering of the part
she added another leaf to the rich
chaplet public opinion in San Francisco has
woven for her. Anent Butat, the occasional
tenor, who seems sort of understudy for
Guile. He is entitled to the greatest con-
sideration. Possessed Of fine natural Or
gran, he only needs some little musical
training and knowledge of stage technique,
which, We understand, Signor Eugenio
Biauchi has been engaged to supply. After
hearing him sing the role of Manrico we
came to the conclusion that Albert Guile
ought to look to his honors. Butat is a ris-
ing man. This evening Lucia di Lammer-
moor" with Pauline l'Ailemand in the prin-
cipal role, will be repeated.

night. AS the Druidess she appeared to
some advantage, but it was case where
zeal and ambition were hardly supplemented
by the requisite physical and vocal power.
She looked exceedingly picturesque in her
costume Of the pagan priestess Of the ante
Christian times of the British Isles, and
managed with much adroitness the trying
aria, "Casta Diva" The great singers OF
earlier times used to say that if they got
safely over this number they felt assured of
success in the remainder of the role. The
duet between Norma and Adalgisa, Och!
