AMERICAN MUSIC THE BEST.
The Mass Not So Artistic as the German,
but Our Professors Ahead.

but Our Professors Ahead.
BERLIN, July 4-Walter Damrosch he's
left Berlin for Bayreuth. He expects to
spend the entire month at Bayreuth to study
the rehearsals and performances of the
Wagner operas. To press corrsponden Mr.
Damrosch said that his principal object in
coming to Germany was to secure concert
master for his symphony orchestra.
"Our musicians are, as II rule, superior to
those of Germany" said Mr.. Damrosch.
"The average musician here gets $50 a week.
while in New York he gets sl30. In conse-
quence, the best men flock to America. Our
musical union is doing good work in keep
ing up the prices, but think they make
mistake in compelling Il musician to live
six months in America before he can prac-
tice his profession. 1t happens occasionally
sufficient ability cannot be procured in
America. A musician must then be i'm
ported, and should be allowed to earn his
living as soon as he lands. The better class
of the musical union are even now in favor
of a repeal of the six months law"
"What do you think of music in Berlin?"
at seems to me-" said Mr.. Damrosch, ,"that
you have too much music in Germany: that
it has become mediocre. Wherever you go
you find the inevitable brass or string
band
But you have heard little of German
music, coming so late in the season."
"Wcll, have the Tom Kunstler festival,
the Singing Academy festival and others,
but though you have great artists in Ger
demand much more from each individual
member. Our people are not all musical,
but those who are are much more highly
cultivated than the average German"

LONDON, July 1.-THE Emperor of Ger
many reached Leith al 7:05 o'clock this even
ing. He was received by the Mayor and a
number of other officials. He was loudly
cheered by large crowds. The Emperor
embarked on the imperial yacht Hohen-
Zollern and that vessel steamed up the
Firth of Forth
Upon returning from the Forth bridge the
Hohenzollern, having the Emperor on
board, passed Leith on her way TO Norway.
A warship in Leith harbor fired a royal
salute as the imperial yacht passed out to
sea. Sir Joseph Savory, the Lord Mayor of
London, has received a letter from Count
Won Hatzfeldt, the German Ambassador,
conveying the Emperor's thanks to the Lord
Mayor for the generous hospitality extended
him by the City of London, and asking Sir
Joseph Savory to thank the citizens of Lon
don for the magnificent reception.
The Duke of Connaught, while speaking at
Portsmouth to-day, read a telegram from
Leith from Emperor William, in which the
Emperor said: Il can't leave the hospitable
shores of this country without thanking you
and others for the very warm and cordial re-
ception extended to myself and to the En-
press" The Duke of Connaught added:
'When l accompanied the Emperor to the
station yesterday evening, he said he felt
that, for foreigner like himself 1t was diff
cult to imagine why he had been accorded
such a warm reception; he knew it was not
so much for himself as for the Queen"

of the site chosen for Blaine give assurance
briskness from the time the property is

Holland Probably Unavailing.
AMSTERDAM, July IA proposal to grant
the Standard Oil Company ten-years lease
of sites at Rotterdam and Antwerp for the
erection of oil tunlls has been discussed by
the municipal authorities. The Chambre de
Commerce ct Fabriques supported the pro-
posal. Several commercial houses presented
a petition in favor of the rejection of the
proposal, on the ground that the lease would
assist the Standard Oil monopoly and prove
injurious to retailers and general con-
Sumers.
The Amsterdam Petroleum Harbor Com
pany, which is now using part OF the land
to be included in the proposed lease. espec-
tally opposed the proposal, urging that the
Standard was its principal client; that if
the Standard obtained the land it would
henceforth manage its own business, and
that if the Council acceded TO the proposal
the lease ought to be coupled with the pur-
chase of the tanks, the Harbor company
transferring them to the Standard. The
Council rejected the motion for a temporary
refusal of the grant, and postponed decision
on the main question.
