The Orchestral Situation.


This, in brief, is the orchestral situation
in New York at the present writing; The
older members of the Philharmonic Soci-
ETY. are still hoping that means will be
found to secure the services of Mr.. Thomas
at next years concerts. The younger
members, as a rule, favor the election of
Mr.. Seidl to the conductorshp. The
Brooklyn Philharmonic Society has sur
rendered its dates tothe Boston Symphony
Orchestra, leaving the style in which the
concerts are to be announced wholly to the
Boston management. This ought to be
grievous TO the director of the moribund
organization who has been railing recently
at the impertinent operate conductors
who dare to conduct symphonyconcerts.
Mr.. Nikisch was an operate conductor till
he came to Boston last year.
The management Of the symphony So
ciety, trusting in the fund raised by Mr.,
at q weekly salary for seven months next
year, and Is also negotiating with Mr.. Alb
hey, possibly with view to furnishing
the orchestra FOR the Italian performances
at the Metropolitan Opera House neXtsel-
son. Mr., Seidl has signed contract with
the Brighton Beach Company for another
series of grand concerts next summer and
Is projecting series of concerts ,on
large and interesting scale for New York,
Brooklyn and possibly other cities next
season. Mrs. lhurber and her friends
still insist that the scatter-bralned scheme
of another permanent orchestra, 20 con-
sist largely of imported musicians and TO
be conducted by Max Erdmansdrerffe is
10 be carried out. On the whole, New
york's orchestral musicians are in clover.

got together in the corner of the breast.

GENERAL JOE JOHNSTON.

Wounded, but sim Vigorous.

4. F,cm ne Atlanta a. Jomndi, Feb.is
The death Of General Sherman neces-
sarily attracts public attention TO his
famous antagonist during the war. Gem
eral joseph II. Johnston has for years
been the most remarkable survivor of that
great struggle. ID In respectof mental and
physical acflyltyat an'adyanced age he is
probably themost remarkable soldier this
country has ever PRODUCED.
No one who should se6 General John
ston without knowing who he Is would
estimate his age within ten years of the
fact. His form is erect, his. step quick
and elastio,,his eyes bright, and his man
ner nniniated and vigorous His bearing
j. still the embodiment of military grace.
we were accustomed to look upon General
man wasbnly o romping boy of . when
Johnston graduated with distinction at
West Point. BY the time Sherman had
finished his course ut the Military Acad-
emy Johnston had been through the
Indian war in Florida, where he made q
brilliant record; had resigned, and again
re-entcred the service; was first lieuten-
ant of Typographical Engineers, and had
been brevetted captain in recognition of
his gallant conduct.
No soldier saw harder service in the war

desperate battles of that struggle. At
Cerro Gordo he was severely wounded, but
recovered in time to bear q noble part in
the fight at Contreras, Cherubusco, Molino
del Rey and Chapultepec. While leading
regiment in the final assault ON the city
Of Mexico he was again shot down. In
the period between the Mexican war and
the war between the States he saw several
years OF hard service on the frontier. His
career in the Confederate Army is familiar
to all. II established his fame both in
America and Europe as one ofthe greatest
of military commanders of the century.
AT the battle of Fair Oaks, OH the 3ist
of May, 1862, he was again wounded and
so severely that his recovery was at first
considered doubtful. Probably no famous
general of modern times was wounded
so often and so dangerously as Joseph f.
Johnston.
Wonderful, indeed, is the constitution
which has endured the strain OF many
years OF arduous service and the shocks OF
three almost fatal wounds on the field of
battle, and yet in his s5th year is abound
ing with vitality and energy
All honor to the old hero! May he live
to be hundred.

THE PARIS opkHA HOUSE.

From ne 5'aN Aan odsette.

From NE 5'dN Man gazette.
The budget of the Paris Opera House
varies from little under 100000 francs
to little over 100000. Salaries are naid
to no less than 700persons The enumera-
ton is interesting and curious. Artistcs--
which means singers--30, ballet dancers
15O,, chorus 80, orchestra 100; at the book
ing offices 30, carpenters so, gasmen 70,
dressers 20 of each sex, ballet masters,
stage managers, prompters, etc, 15-so
the list runs on till we get the full num-
ber. The cioque only get heiradmission-
from GO to 90 tickets for the pit--some of
which they may dispose of.
Every artistic has right to a dresser,
who has charge Of his wardrobe and
conducts his toilet, but the artistic may
have his own valet. II he prefer IL. The
chorus get each about 500 francs year,
but they combine the opera with singing
In the choirs of churches and also of tho
censervatories, and have their special em-
ployments during the day.
The leader of the orchestra gets 12OO0
francs year, and the lesser lights from
1900 francs to 5000 francs, but they
stand out for their status. Mcyerbcef
used to call them "Messicurs les Pro-
fesseurs," and the tradition remains.
Then there are the dancers.-the corps de

year, get an annual increase of 200 francs,
and sometimes rise very high, indeed

Mr.. Mckinley reported from the Com
mittee on Rules resolution for the inn
mediate consideration of the Direct Tax
bill, the previous question to be consid-
cred as ordered at o'clock, or as soon
thereafter as this resolution may go into
effect.
Mr.. Dingley offered an amendment
providing that after the disposal of the
Direct Tax bill the Slipping bill should
be considered--the previous question TO be
called after six hours debate-ruled out
on point of order.
The previous question on the resolution
was ordered. In arguing against the reso-
luton Mr.. Blount said that 1t excluded
anything like decent debate on question
involving an expenditure of S17,060000
He inveighed against the methods pur-
sued by the Committee on Rules, and cx-
pressed the hope that the House would

A Day with the Sultan.


Abdul Hamid gets up early. His toilet
does not detain him long; indeed, 1t
might detain him longer according to
European codes. Dressed, he at once de-
votes himself to recite the prescribed
prayers, after which he drinks q cup of
black coffee, and instantly afterward be-
gins to smoke cigarettes, a pastime that he
continues all day almost without inter-
mission, for he is an ardent smoker.
Breakfast ended, he arranges family af-
fairs, when these require his attention, as
is almost always the case with so large
family and of such varied ages and needs.
This done, he quits the harem and
goes into the selamlik. Here he receives
the reports concerning court affairs.
Toward 10 O'clock his court secretary and
chief dignitaries appear, bearing the days
on his right, these documents, and on his
left apple Of Turkish newspapers and ex-
tracts from the European press translated
into Turkish for his benefit by "a transla-
ton bureau specially appointed to that
end. Ills lunch, which follows the dis
patch Of this business, is most simple
little meat, d fair amount of vegetables.
The meal ended, he will take walk in
the park or row in a little boat upon one
MED by chamberlain or some high dig
nitary. nt
After taking two hours exercise in the
air he returns to his sitting rooms, where
he holds an open reception or else presides
over some committee meeting. An hour
or two before sunset he once more goes
out for walk. His dinner is as simple
as his lunch. His favorite food is piiqf,
sweets, and very little meat. He never
hos ot,tr nit I'm In. l,,A oh
ence to the commands OF the Prophet, but
he drinks large quantities of sherbet and
eats great deal of ice cream. Dinner
over, he receives company in the selamlik,
or he will retire into the harem, where
his daughters play and sing to him. lie
himself on these occasions will often seat
himself at the piano. an instrument he
plays fairly well. For painting, for fine
arts in general, he has no taste. His
women, too, find him very cold, but he is
devoted to his children, and also much at
tached to all the members of his family.

THE SHIPPING BILL.
The Prospects Are 1t VIII Not Pass
This Session.

The Prospects Are 1t VIII Not Pass
This Session.
The lobby, which has been so active for
the past two months iif favor of the Ship
ping bill, to-day claim to feel very chip
per indeed. And they have some reason
to feel that way. There is no reason to
doubt that the claim which they make in
regard to the fate Of the bill is in some
respects a good one. They say that the
Committee on Rules will see that it be
given date before adjournment with
four or five hours debate, and then call
vote that would, us things now stand,
practically mean the passage of the BILL
for it seems to have majority of the
House in its favor. There is one
thing significant in the compo-
favor Of the bill. The majority of them
have not been reelected There is good
sprinkling of them, however, who are in
favor of the bill and who have also been
reelected. But it is by no means a GER
tainty that the bill will pass the House.
There is almost every hour an accession
to the strength of the opposition. The
feeling that the bill is q Job is becoming
more and more widespread. The result
will be that number of men who would
upon a rird eoce vote, be for the BILL will
not dare to put themselves on
record as in favor of it upon an
who have been advocating the measure
are changing. Despite the apparent point
Of vantage that the bill temporarily holds,
i'll view of the attitude towards it of the
Committee on Rules, there Is no reason to
change the prediction heretofore made in
The CRITIc that the Shipping bill will not
become law at this session.
