The people who have supposed that
high G. in music is high G all over the
world will be interested to learn that it
is B in France, B sharp in the standard
orchestras of Boston. New York and
Philadelphia, G fat in England and pure
and simple high G only in latitudes
south of Philadelphia and in longitudes
west of Buffalo.
This explains the multitude of high G
tenors in France, who lose half tone in
pitch and several tones in Importance in
crossing the ocean, and whose stories OF
vocal prowess abroad pass here as tales
for marines. 1t also explains how home
taught artists have tendency to strain
their ambitious voices, especially in the
SUNNY south and the west.
Differences in pitch make musical life
expensive as we'll as annoying, and the
Stringed Instrument and Piano Makers
association has started out to make this
thing right. 1t is to have meeting to-
morrow at Delmonico's, to which mem
bers OF the piano-makers' associations
of Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia
have been invited.
At this meeting the reform will be
broached by William Steinwsy. He be-
lieves in uniform pitch and thinks
some standard should be agreed upon.
The philharmonic pitch, which is but q
few vibrations higher than the French
diapason pitch, seems to him sensible
adjustment. 1t is utterly senseless, in
his view, that there should be dual
pitch in this country.
He thinks he can persuade his associ-
ates to his way of thinking, if they have
not already reached it, and that provin-
cialism in pitch can soon become q
thing of history so far as piano-making
is concerned.
OF Alabama, the latest production at
the Madison Square theater, the Tribune
says: 1.-THE American drama by Angus

performed for the first time, will readily
I'LL out the remainder of the dramatic
year at this house. 1t had a welcome
of unequivocal favor, and its representa-
tion was attended with almost continu-
Gus expressions of popular interest and
pleasure. The great excellence with
WtilCu IL w do dCtCu III dlAnOob CNCiy INV
of the twelve parts it contains is calcu-
lated to blind the eyes of judgment "as
to it's defects of plot and its diffuse ex-
pansion of trifing incidents"
Things fall out in the conduct OF it's
story as they could not fall out in actual
life, and herein it does not square with
the reality that it assumes to represent.
Its characters, however, are full, its SEN
timent is deep and strong, its language,
though occasionally impaired by meta
phors, is terse, and it has fine, fresh,
open-air fragrance that is thoroughly
charming.
The scene is laid in those parts Of our
country that are intrinsically poetic and
harmonious with the spirit of its theme.
The fact of its absolute success with a
house which was crowded and brilliant
should at once be recorded. There was
an enthusiastic call after each curtain,
and the author was summoned amid
hearty applause.

Slow Counting the Returns-Indfca.
 tions Point to Russell's Election.
 BosToN. Nov. 3.-On account of the law passed by the last legislature votes to be counted by the different officials to insure correctness the returns are coming in more slowly than ever before. although the cleo toral machinery was never in a more per feet condition than in the present election. The returns from fifty country towns show net republican gain of 7OS,5o IA per town over last year. On this basis the re- publican gain in the 353 towns of the state would be 4, 942. Last year Governor Rus sells plurality in the state was 9,O53. In dications so far from the large cities are that he has held plurality of last year and that he is elected by at least I, ,000 plurali- ty. The balance of the republican state ticket is undoubtedly elected. As the re- turns of only fifty towns are now in it is utterly impossible to give any idea of the complexion of the legislature. SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Nov. 3.-The big places are all very late and will not report | before midnight. The email towns are also late. The returns thus far show con. siderable prohibition gain in the country l towns. which has much reduced the e1
 pected gains of the republicans. The re suits of votes on county and Legislative candidates are still unknown.

Heavy Vote Cast-Returns Coming in
 Slowly.
 DEs MONIES, Ia., Nov. 3.-Returns are glow in coming in, due to the change from precinct to county system of sending re- turns. It is believed the vote is the heavi- est ever cast in this state. Four precincts here, out of total of ,941, gave total gain to Wheeler rep, of S4. A report from Benton county says the county will go 200 more democratic than in 1889. Keokuk reports two precincts in the coun- ty give Wheeler 356 Boies 30S, net repub- lican gain of 349. The total vote of the city of Dubuqueis 5,313, a gain of 1,079 over the vote of two years ago, which in dicates an increased democratic majority. DEs MONIES, Nov. 3-Out of total of 1,927 precincts, 112 precincts give Wheeler IA ,454, Boles 14, ,2s4. The same precincts in 1889 gave Hutchinson 13,23s, Boles 12,360. Net republican gain 293. WATERLOO, Ia., Nov. 3.-Complete re- turns from Waterloo City, Governor Boles' home give Wheeler 1,151, Boles SS7. The same precincts in 1889 gave Hutchin- son $50, Boles 742.

 DIES MONIES, Nov. 4, 12:90 p. m.-Scat- tering returns throughout the state at this hour indicate that Boies, dem., is elected governor over Wheeler, rep, by a reduced plurality. The democratic plurality is not likely to exceed $500.

Receiving the Re,urn..

BOSTON, Nov. Ex-Governor Russell General Corcoran, Hon. Josiah Quincy, Mayor Matthews, Secretary Dale of the democratic state committee, most of Gov ernor Russell's staff and many other we'll known democrats were at the Globe office during the evening, where they received the election returns, and from the outset felt hopeful of the success of their ticket. The governor was the least excited of those present, and calmly figured out the relative gains and losses as the figures were placed before him. During the night he sent the following message to Chairman Murphy of the New York state committee:
 Enormous vote. Probably elected by 5000 majority"
 Later returns only served to make the governor and his friends confident that his estimate was none too high. Mir. Corcoran also expressed confidence that his own vote in the state would be sufficient to elect him lieutenant-governor, and every body felt highly elated over the outlook.
 AtRepublican Headquarters.
 At republican headquarters there was large gathering of prominent men of the party, including among others Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge, Hon. A. E. Pillsbury, Chair man buroette, secretary Wardweu and Commissioner Merrill, but Candidate Allen remained at home in Lowell. All talked confidently of republican success, but ad- mitted that the outside towns would have to put in extraordinary to offset the large democratic plurality in Boston. The Jour nal and Advertiser, both republican, con- cede Russell's election, but place his plu- raiity at not more than 1000 at the outset At republican headquarters no one seemed disposed to make an estimate of MT. .Allen's possible plurality. Up to midnight re- turns had been received from only 100 towns in place of 250 or more last year at the same hour.
