WAsAINGTON, Aug. 2l-The APP
pOintment Of Chinese minister is
still delayed, aud no action will be
taken until the president returns in
September. Although Senator Squire
said positively that he could not ac-
.cept the post, it is claimed that the
president hopes that his friends in
Washington state may induce him to
reconsider his determination. 1t is
said that the senator considers that a
siX-year sure thing in the United

years as minister to country where
diplomacy is not as high as IL would
be at some European caurt.

AN ELEGANT RECEPTION AT sEwICKLEY

The Redpath Concert Company closed the
Pittsburg Star Course of entertainments last
evening, at Old City Hall, with a brilliant
entertainment. The hall was comfortably
filled with an audience of culture and re-
fnement that showed its appreciation of the
performance and performers in rapturous
applause and continual encores.
John Francis Glider opened the pro-
gramme with a composition, "Transcen-
dental Grand March," bearing his own
name, and Gottschalk's s 'Tremelo" etude.
Mr. Glider as pianist was quite a revela-
tion to his audience, who listened, first sur
prised and then enthralled, with the ex-
ception, possibly, of row of young people
occupying front seats, who were more in
terested in each other and their converse
tion than in the pianist, until forceful and
emphatic looks from Mr.. Glider compelled
the attention the artistic performance failed
TO obtain.
As an encore old "darkey" melodies were
rendered in an entirely new and beautiful
arrangement.
Z. K. Hood followed Mr.. Glider in Sc
lection from Shakespeare's midsummer
Nights Dream" in which he gave proof of
wonderful talent and versatility, and sue
ceeded in keeping his listeners in paroxysms
OF laghter. An Irish anecdote satisfied the
vigorous applause given Mr.. Hood.
Miss Clara A. Hunt, before she rendered
a note of the Grand a ria and Waltz" Vim.
zano. created favorable impression by the
grace of her petite figure. artistically draped
in white, clinging material, and her bright,
pretty face. Her singing was very accept
able and proved her the possessor Of clear
and cultivated voice.
The whistling soloist, Miss Ella NJ.
Chamherlin, maintained by her performance
the reputation that preceded her appearance.
80 Luce de Quest Anima," Donizetti,
was her first number, and pretty operatio
selection served as an encore.
The violinist, Miss Edith Christie, in the
confident yet graceful manner with which
she faced her audience, quickly adjusted
her music rack and tuned" her VIOLIN
aroused an expectation of skill in her per-
iormance which was thoroughly realized
Miss Christie understands her violin, as we'll
as herself. She played Souvenir de Mas
cow" Wieniawski, with a more simple
encore.
In the second part of the programme the
same pleasing effect was gained by each per-
iormer, and the company, individually and
collectively, scored great success with the
Pittsburg public.
