manent success Of the 6pera was largely
established by her, were rather strongly
stated in that review. So the fact that 1t
was GalltHarie who lowing to the deten-
ton in England of Marie Roze, for whom
Bizet first wrote the part.) sang Carmen at
the one very first performance makes very
little difference.
However, since the phrase ''his (or herr
original character" was underlined several
times during the week, it is proper to INT,
mate that the statement should be qualined
when it is not intended to have its natural
meaning as designating the artist that Gre
ated the role on the first production OF the
opera. The only real value of the phrase
lies in the probability-almost always the
fact-that the opera was first produced I'M
der the composers personal supervision,
and that the artists thus received his own
ideas at first hand. Otherwise the so-called
OF a character implies nothing
au horitative or Standard giving, and to
speak of it as ones "original character" SIM
ply points out the one who happened to get
frst into that particular field.

Lincoln promptly said in reply: 'Bring
x. Mcclure as Assistant Adjutant General
of the United States Volunteers, with the
rank of Major" The Adjutant General
bowed himself out, when I Immediately
said to Lincoln that could not consent to
be subject to arbitrary military orders; that
l desired no compensation for the work
had performed and must decline the honor
he proposed to confer upon me. In his
quiet way he replied: "Well, Mcclure,
try my way; I think that will get the
troops on without delay and without tread
ing on anybody's toes. 1 think if you will
take your commission back to Harrisburg,
call up the Captain in command there to
muster you into the service of the United
States and show him your assignment to
duty there, you will have no trouble what
ever in getting the troops organized and
forwarded as rapidly as you wish. Now
try it, won't you?"
saw the wisdom of the suggestion and
well understood why the President desired
to avoid the offense that would have been
given bv the removal of the military Off
GERS, and agreed to try his plan. When
returned to Harrisburg the next day sent
for the senior officer to come to my Office.
He came in with all the dignity and arro-
gance of an offended Caesar and spoke to me
with bare civility. I quietly handed him
my commission, requested him to muster me
into the military service and also exhibited
the order assigning me for duty at Harris
burg.
Tho Tables We're Turned.
When he saw my commission, his hat was
Immediately removed and he was as obse-
quious as he had been insolent before.
When he had finished mastering me into
the service said to him: 81 presume you
understand what this means. I don't pro-
pose to make any display of military au-
thority or to interfere with anything except
that which have Immediately in hand
There must be a regiment Of troops mus
tered and forwarded from this State every
day until the troops in camp are all sent to
the field. Good morning." He immedi-
ately bowed himself out, saluting in mill
tary style as he did so, grace that had
not yet mastered sufficiently to return, and
from that day until the camp was emptied
of conscripts, regiment of troops was mus
tered daily and forwarded to Washington.
That was the only military authority I
ever exercised, and few knew Of the mill
tary dignity I had SO suddenly attained.
When the troops were forwaded to the
field and the accounts settled, 1 resigned
my commission as quietly as l received it
and sent it to the President, who, as he had
promised, ordered its immediate
acceptance. The officer who was thus so
superseded, and who wac SO
promptly made to render efficient service to
the country by Lincoln's admirable STRAIT
egy, is no longer among the living, and 1
omit his name. He learned how Lincoln
could discipline soldier and he profted by
the lesson. A. K. MCCLURE

SENATOR BRIGGS SEAT.
Schemes to Keep Him Out of 1t Not
Likely.

CHICAGO, Nov, "a. L. Conger. ma
tional committeeman from Ohio, thinks
the time has now arrived to talk about
the candidates for the next presidential
campaign. He believes that the national
committee, which meets at Washington
on the 23d of November. will consider
the matter of candidates. and adds:
Then we shall see what we shall see.
Perhaps we will know something them"
Regarding the dispatches from Ohio in
timating very strongly that an attempt
would be made to keep Senator-elect
Brice from taking his seat and electing
Republican in his place, Col. Con-
ger said he did not believe any such
move would be made.
ut would be very unwise to do So"
he said. Senator Brice was elected
senator by Democratic legislature. and
as for his being nonresident of Ohio
there is nothing in that. Senator Brice
is the best man for the place. and as his
election was regular and fair it would
be next to impossible to carry through
any scheme to keep him out of Office.
There will be a friendly contest be-
tween Foraker and Sherman for the SEN
atorship. Foraker is popular with the
younger element of the party of the
state, and he will make a strong fight"

ing that revolution had broken out
Rio Janeiro, the capital, was said to be
full of soldiers. quartered at the bar

in the public squares, and billeted upon

The continued ill-health of President
Da FOnseca and political intrigueS as to
the choice of his successor are said to
be at the bottom of the uprising. 1t Is
said that there has been fighting in the
streets of Rio JaneirO. but the report
cannot be verified. A dispatch pub
lished here by the Exchange Telegram
company asserts that President Da FOn-
SEGA is suffering severely from cancer.
1t is presumed that this fact has become
public ard that it has led to the out
break, which has been Smouldering for
some time past, and which owed its
origin TO the jealOusies of political par
ties and to the intrigues of public men
ambitious to succeed to the presidency.
In addition to these disturbing factors
in Brazilian affairs there is the working
of the ola Dom Pedro party. which still
counts for a great deal in the affairs of
the Brazilian republic.

special arrangements made to prevent
surprise by a mob, as the other three
branch prisons. Gov. Buchanan says
that the lesSeeS want him to furnish 4

mines, but he is satisfied that there eX-
lists now no good reason for calling out
the militia.
j. E. Goodwin, sub-lessee OF c0nyicts
at PrlceVIlle, when asked If the cOnvicts
would be returned to the mines, said
that they would not unless the state au-

cOnvictS there to be released in few
days. The prison inspectors to-day is

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Nov. 5.-The Mis-

held up and robbed last night at West
Side, near Omaha, arrived here this
morning at O'Clock, three hours late.
The train looked as if it had gone
through the war. The front door
of the express car was broken into
splinters. The front door of the
smoking ear had the glass smashed
out by bullets, and the other cars were
more or less perfo rated with bullet
holes. The Pacific express car was the
only one that was robbed. AS soon as
the tram arrived here the express mat
ter that was not taken was sent to the
cOmpany's office. Green. the messenger,
said the robbers only got S2S5.S3. Supt.

lief, however, that $4,000 will more

bridge. where they turned and
faced their pursuerS. Each side show
cred missiles upon the other. but event
ually the ParnelliteS captured the
bridge. About the same time detach-
ment of police arrived, and, after some
difficulty, they succeeded in dispensing
the rioters. Many persons were cut
with the stones. Mr.. O'Bren
in speech in this city,
this evening, said that the Redmond
and Harrington manifesto was tissue
of grotesque falsehoodS. Just imagine,
he said. four irish members of parlia-
ment asking the Irish bishops to with
draw their letter and to repeal the sixth
commandment. The only existing
copy of the Boul0gne proceed
ingS was in the hands of
MIR. ParnelFS representatives. 1t was a
lie to say that he bad made second
copy and destroyed it. 1t was equally a
lie to say that they offered Mr.. Parnell
the right to veto the home rule bill.
The only proposal made as a solace TO
Mr.. Parneil was TO give him cOnsulta-
tive voice with Mr.. Mccarthy on the de-
tails of the future bill.
