FOR 4 UNIFORM PITCH IN PIANOS.
MANUFACTURERS WILL TRY TO DECIDE THE
QUESTION HERE TO-DAY.

MANU- CTURERS WILL TRY TO DECIDE THE
QUESTION HERE TO-DAY.
An important meeting Of the Piano Manufacturers
Association will be held to-day at DemoaiCO's and VIII
be followed in the evening BY a dinner. II is eX-
pected that 100 manufacturers will be present. and
important matters relating TO the trade will be dis
cussed and acted upon. The case which will be OF
most interest to the public and which will be decided
TODAY Is that Of adopting uniform pitch for oil
ranoS made I'm this country. At present there are
three kinds First the Oh American pitch which has
been in vogue here for fifty years; secondly, the
New. York Philharmonic pitch, which was adopted n
1882 aud has been made the standard Of pianos made
in Boston, New York Philadelphia and baltimore, and
thirdly the low dapasOn French pitch, established IN
1859 by the Emperor Napoleon Ill and Iatlhed by
the French senate. This latter pitch was adopted
by all European countries. except England, in 1854
and is about half note lower than the American
pitch. The English pitch Is higher, but not as lhsh
as that Of the old American.
William Steinway, the president OF the Manu-
facturers' Association said last night Many assert
that the American high pitch Is strain to young
voices. and even foreign singers have found 1t so.
In 1873 Colonel MaplesOn when he brought his Italian
opera company here, compelled 10 Dny an the
wind instruments for his orchestra tuned 10 tle low
pitch, and this was the first time the low treucn
dapaSOn pitch was introduced In this country. Al
street and military bands the high piteh YET;
The task OF the Manufacturers Association To-Day VIII
be to decide whether to adhere TO the lgh or 70 ADOPT
the Philharmonic pitch. There VIII be much OppOsl-

CAPTAIN HOWELL AND ADMIRAL WALKER.
COMPLAINT OF THE LATTER's ACTION DURING
THE RECENT EUROPEAN CRUISE

THE RECENT EUROPEAN CRUISE.
Washington, March 30 (speciall.-Captain John A.
Howell Of the Navy has formally complained to the
Secretary OF the action OF Rear Admiral Walker during
the European cruise OF the Squadron o. Evolution
While the vessels OF that squadron were at Villa
Franche during the week OF February L. $780, captain
Howell suspended for short time frOm the COM
mand Of the Atlanta by Admiral Walker captain
Howell in his communication to the Secretary recites
the facts which led to the suspension. Admiral
Walker had issued orders from the masthead Of the
Chicago the vessels of the squadron to get under
way. The Chicago drifted toward the stern OF the
Atlanta and as the latter vessel confronted by
lee shore movement In either direction says Cap
tain Howell. was impossible. Later. when the chi
cogO cleared the Atlanta backed out and as the YES
sci about TO take place In the line OF ships size
observed TO stop Admiral Walker Immediately ais
PLAYED signals from the masthead Of the Chicago de
taching Captain Howell from command OF the Atlanta
and placing the executive officer I'm charge Captain
Howell states that the stop was caused by break
down in the machinery. Admiral Walkers action Is
represented as hasty The point is raised that the
fleet commander should not publicly censure YES
sci commander without giving the latter an OPPoi-
tunity OF an explanation
The papers in the hands Of the Judge-adVoca'e-
General and have not vet received action Admiral
Walker will no doubt be permitted to reply to the
complaint fled by Captain Howell. This communlca'
