THE FRENCH ALLIANCE.
a Senator Opposed to Compact With Rus

sia.
PARIS, Dec. Ex-senator Saint Hilaire
e1-Minister Of Foreign Affairs, said to an
Associated Press correspondent to-day that
be is distinctly opposed to the attempt to
draw France and Russia into an alliance.
He can discover no common bonds Of union
between the most enlightened people of
Europe and a country almost Eastern in its
barbarity. The prevalent idea in France is
that this alliance will enable her to regain
ner lost provinces, while she will help Rus
sia to lay hands on Constantinople. But
while Russia will not fail to seize every op-
portunty of increasing her empire, she
would not embroil herself with Europe in
order to please France, and, when salts fed,
would repudate any claims the latter power
might have on her. In his opinion the most
natural and profitable alliance for France
would be one with England.

Cardinal Janos si,nor.

From tie Ne,O York Tribune.
Cardinal Janos Simor, Archbishop of
Grau and Primate of Hungary, died at
Grau January 10. Cardinal Sinner was
born at notwithstanding Oh August p,
1913. He was the son of a poor cobbler
but he rose to be Primate of Hungary and
one of the wealthiest of all the prelates of
that kingdom. His revenues were i'm
perial as To their amount and his court at
the beautiful Palace of Grau was of un-
paralleled magniticence. A perfect army
of priests, chamberlains, gentlemen-in-
waiting and retainers were ever present
to execute his slightest behest In point
of rank he took precedence of everybody
in the Kingdom except of the Emperor
the Empress and the heir apparent. In
the House of Magnates, at Buda-Pesth; he
occupied the first place, and when he en-
tered the chamber every one of the proud
Magnates would arise and remain stand
ing with bowed heads until the venerable
pielate had taken his seat.
The Cardinal was the son Of an humble
cobbler, who eked out scanty existence
in the little town of notwithstanding
1t was when he was one of the Court
Chaplains that the cobbler's eloquence
first attracted the notice of the then
Prime Minister, Count Leo Thun, and
it was not long before the latter ap-
pointed the young priest to an important
Office in the Ministry of Education. De
voting himself almost entirely to the in
terests of Hungary in his new department,
he accomplished such excellent work that
he was rewarded by being made Coun-
cillor of State. In 1854 he visited Rome
for the first time, being intrusted with the
important mission of representing Austria
at the ceremonies which took place at the
Vatican in connection with the proclama-
ton of the Dogma of the immaculate
Conception. Three years later, on the
death of Anton Karner, he was created
Bishop of Raab. Ten happy years were
spent there, his old mother, the cobblers
widow, living with him ut the Episcopal
palace.
Fairly in 1867 he was appointed Arch.
bishop of Grau and Primate Of Hungary
and in 1873 cardinal priest. Within a
few months of his arrival at Grau he was
summoned to Buda-pesth to place the
crown of st. Stephen on the head of the
Emperor of Austria and annoint him rs
King of Hungary.
Cardinal Simor's large charities were
proverbial throughout Hungary. lie at
tended personally to the wants of the
poor in the whole of the surrounding
country. A large portion of his revenues
were devoted TO the sustenance of thu
maintenance of hospitals, converts ant
schools. He was no mean artist, and
painters and musicians of talent were al
ways certain of ready welcome at hi!
palace. Cardinal SimOr was an enemy oi
proselytism, and convert was even NOR,
hateful to him than an unbeliever. Th,
magnificent cathedral of Gran was bull
by the Cardinal. II is almost an exac
copy of st. Peters at Rome and is con
sidered to be the finest specimen Of mod
ern ecclesiastical architecture in Europe

XAVIER sclIARwENKA's DEBUT.
Tie Berlin Musician Appears as Com
uoser and Pianist.
From ne Ncw York lIorld Jan. q.

from me Ncg FORK World, Jan. 81.
Concert-goers had the opportunity yes
tcrday afternoon at the Metropolitan
Opera House of listening to Xaycr Schar-
wcnlta, pianist and composer, the bearer
of n name that has a goodly sound in the
musical world. Xavcr and Philip Schar-
wenka, his brother, have had prominent
places on our concert programmes for
many years past, and their works have
always been listened TO with artistic de-
light Xavcr the guest of to-day, has
been, perhaps, the most industrious musi-
cal worker of the two gifted brothers.
The list of his works counts up to sixty
two. Among them are Il symphony
which was given by Mr.. Theodore
Thomas and the Philharmonic Society
in 1885, piano quartet, two trios a yio-
lin sonata, cello, sonata, a great number
of Polish dances of which no less than II
million and half copies are said to
have been sold on this side of the Atlantic
alone, and grand opera entitled "Matas-
wintha."
Herr Schorwenka made his appearance
under auspcious conditions, having Sc
cured the members of the Metropolitan
Orchestra, under Anton Siedl, and for the
rendition of the choral numbers from his
new opera the great chorus of the Opera
House, with Frau Miclkc, Fri. HUM, and
Herr Gudehus as soloists His programme
included his own Concerto, opus 81, for
piano and orchestra; the Liszt Ricordanza
and polonaise in Il major, while the eX-
cerpts from the opera were the fourth
scene of the second act, for soprano, tenor,
chorus and orchestra, and womans
chorus, in which Fri. Huhn and the
chorus took part. AS a pianist Herr
Scharwenka proved himself to be an in
teresting. artist, possessing a good, vigor-
ous manly style and clear and facile tech
nique. He would undoubtedly be heard
to better advantage il the firm whose
piano he brings so prominently before the
public would furnish him with better
instrument.
AS composer for the piano Scharwen-
ka's name is known through the land,
and he will undoubtedly arouse the in
terest of music lovers to hear his own In
depreciation of his composition. His
concerts contains much that is beautiful,
especially in the orchestral part. Herr
scharwenka is capable of really fine
work, both original and dramatic, AS
shown in the first movement of his Con-
certo, with its stirring vitality and we'll
marked rythm. The second movement
was the least into resting of the three
though the closing pianissimo effect was
not without charm. The third move
ment presents fine Opportunity for the
display of the power, ability and finish of
the solo performer. and at the same time
is full of melody. The composer displayed
tremendous vitality in the execution of
this last movement and fully deserved
the applause which it called forth for
him. In the playing of the two List
numbers, the Ricordanza and the Polo

THE WHITE SQUADRON.
Rcassembling for Naval Evolutions In
Southern Waters.

Ftom ne Nep FORK Times, 2lN.
All the details of the cruise of the
squadron of evolution have now been ar
ranged and are, with single modilica-
ton i'm accordance with the views and
wishes of Admiral Walker as published
in the Times January 10. Tho only change
of programme growing out of Admiral
Walkers consultation with Secretary
Tracy was the decision that the whole
squadron, instead of u small part of 1t,
should 40 to Galveston. Owing TO the
shallow water In the harbor Of that port
the Chicago cannot get within seven miles
of the city, and q short stay will be made
in consequence, II is understood TO be
secretary Trocys wish to. interest the
Southern people in the Navy, and he
hopes to do so by giving as many of them
as possible an opportunity to see the new
ships.
The first port after leaving Hampton
Roads will be Key West, Galveston being
the second, and New Orleans the third.
From New orleans the squadron will re-
turn eastward early in March, and for the
next six weeks it will cruise at sea.
Letters for the fleet should he addressed
to Tampa ut that time, as the flagship will
probably lie between Egmont Key and
Key West. This was the scene of the
historic mancuvres of lS7l following upon
the rendezvous OF the whole United States
Navy ut Key West in that year, conse-
quent upon the Nirginus affair.
The opportunities for drill in this neigh
borhood are said to be excellent. No
better place can be found for target prac-
ticc, and the natural inducements For u
permanent camp ON shore arc second to
none. The opportunities for landing are
somewhat less favorable, as, owing to the
shelving nature of the bottom, the Chicago
will not be able to get very near the shore
and must send her boats in from long
distance
The Newark and Boston will join the
squadron as soon rs they can be made
ready for sea, and, perhaps, also the Con
cord. Tho Boston, mt least, should be
ready in time to join the fleet at Tampa.
In April the Admiral will start North,
stopping at Havana and probably also at
Bermuda. At the beginning of May not
only the squadron of evolution, but the
North Atlantic squadron as well, will rem
devious at New York, where Admiral
Gherardi will haul down his flag, leaving
the command of the combined squadron
to Admiral Walker.
