derful tenor, Fredori, from a butchers
bench, trained him to sing and taught him
to act and started him on his conquering
way. Among his other pupils he had
Marie Selika, the phenomenal soprano
who in the past few seasons has been as
tonishing the opera going public of the
European capitals.
Marie Selika is an octoroon. In her sue
cess Signor Farini was much interested for
two reasons-one because she had been his
pupil and the other because she was an &C.
toroon. He said that in Europe at least
such n circumstance was no bar to the sue
cess of a really gifted singer. MOI did he
believe that it would prove any serious
drawback in the United States. On the
contrary, it might prove attractive because
of its novelty. He therefore set to work to
gather a little company of what he calls
creoles. They are not what are considered
such in New Orleans, for instance, but
rather octoroons. 1 had the pleasure of
hearing them sing the other night, and
that they can sing there is no doubt.
The colored people in the United States
have in conversation the most musical
voices of any people in the country. We
nave always been aware that in an artless
way, with their sometimes humorous,
sometimes pathetic plantation melodies,
they had marvellous power to please, but
we Wtrt undWdrt dS 10 WndJ bulS WOulu
amount to when trained and cultivated in
the conventional way. In this little COM
pany we have SEEN what the methods OF
Milan applied to genius of Mississippi
could do. The achievement is really mar
velous. l heard a tenor and mezzo con-
tralto whose voices and training fitted
them to sing on any stage and in any COM
pany.
This little group consists of Nine. Desc
ria Plato, prima donna and mezZo con.
t%ralto; Miss Maggie Scott, soprano; Nine,
Harriet Palmer, contralto;t Mr.. George
Bordley, tenor di graZia; Mr.. Joseph
Mebane, tenor robusto; Mr.. Alonzo Wat
son, baritone, and Mr.. Jacob Hicks, basso
%profundo. The rehearsal l heard began
with a quartet from Martha, and then
we had selections from Tito-Matei, Verdi,
Steinhagen, Donizetti and Meyerbeer.
This was a change indeed from plantation
melodies, a change which to some unculti-
waited in music woul not be grateful, but
even such must acknowledge that it is n
great advance, an advance of which the
singers should feel proud and encouraged
and upon which Signor Farini is to be
heartily congratulated
And to end the entertainment we had the
miserere scene from "Trovatore," with
Nine. Plato as Leonora and Mr.. Bordley as
Manrico. They not only sang, but acted,
and they did both well. 1 do not know ex.
actly what Signor Farini's intentions are,
but he unquestionably mas the material
with which to give most enjoyable concerts
or grand opera, either he may choose.

The tendency of this disease toward

La Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold. Chamber

cure of severe colds. This remedy

the disease to result in pneumonia. pro-

exposure when recovering from the

Lou Ow Bew Wins His Case Before the
United States Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, March 14.-Lou Ow Bew
can remain in the United States. The
Supreme Court Of the United States this
morning reversed the decision Of the
United States Circuit Court for the
Northern District of California, which or
dered that he be deported from the
United States and returned to China.
Lou Ow Bew is a Chinese merchant of
Portland, Or, who went to China on a
visit, and when he returned to san Fran
cisco was refused permission to remain
in the United States because he failed to
secure a certificate of identification re-
quired by the Chinese Restriction Act to
be obtained from the Chinese Govern
ment by merchants and others coming to
the United States.
The United States Courts in California
affirming the legality of the Commission
er's action, Lou brought the matter here
on habeas corpus proceedings. The
court in its opinion says 1t is of the
opinion that il was not intended CONNER
cial domicile be forfeited by temporary
absence at the domicile of origin, nor
that resident merchants be subjected to
loss of rights guaranteed by the treaty if
they failed to produce from the domicile
of origin that evidence which residence
in the domicile of choice may have rem
dered it difficult, if not impossible to OBJ
tain. AS Lou is unofficially restrained of
his liberty, the court directs the lower
court to reverse judgment and discharge
him from custody.

SAN FRANCISCO, March i4.-Thls morn
ing shortly after o'clock +. L. Weihe Of
Oakland, superintendent of the Ameri-
can District Messenger Office on Market
street in the Grand Hotel, was shot by a
messenger boy named Jacob Open
heimer. The latter had been discharged
from the office about three weeks ago and
his claim for wages not being paid fast
enough to suit him, he threatened several
times to make trouble
This morning he called on the Superin-
tendent, saying he wanted his money and
was going to get it. On being told to
wait until the superintendent had an OPP
portunity to attend to the matter, young
Oppenheimer opened fire, shooting three
times. a scutfie then took place for pos
session of the weapon, during which
time an officer appeared on the scene and
placed Oppenheimer under arrest.
The only injuries received by Weihe
were an abrasion of the skin on one fin
ger and another little abrasion OF the skin
i'll the middle of the back.
1t appears that the first bullet, which
was fred while Weihe's back was turned,
went through his coat ut the shoulder,
and then went through the cuff on his
right arm, which was at the time uplifted,
pencil being in his hand. The
second bullet, fired as Weihe was half
facing the boy, struck the brass buckle
on Weihe's suspenders and glanced off
close enough to cut the skin. What
turned it off will perhaps never be
known, but, at any rate, it passed out
through his coat on the side.

and the prospects for an abundant har-
vest good. At Lincoln there is an in
crease OF 10 per cent. in the grain acreage
over last year. At Biggs the general
yield will exceed that of last year by 40
per cent. Corning last year produced
120, 600 sacks OF wheat. This year the
yield will amount TO over 200,000 sacks
from the same acreage. At Folsom the
average is double that Of last year, and %

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Senate
in executive session to-day spent an hour
ia discussion of the Behring Sea question.
The matter came before the Senate in the
shape of message from the President in
reply to a resolution requesting further
information as to the effect of pelagic
sealing. The President sent extracts from
official reports of the Behring Sea Com
missioners, showing that, contrary to
Lord Salisbury's statement, the British
Commissioners had conceded that seals
were diminished in number by the hand
of man, which, of course, meant largely
through the acts of poachers in killing
Eeals at sea.
The message was laid before the Senate,
and Sherman moved its reference to the
Committee on Foreign Relations, but the
Senators wished to hear the extracts in
closed by the President, and defeated the
motion. The matter was read III full.
Then followed a debate, very similar in
character to those which occurred last
week. The point of difference was to be
seen IN the strength shown by a senti
7nent favorable to the protection OF the
claimed rights of the United States in
Behring Sea by all resources OF the Gov
ernment pending arbitration. Short

AN EDITORIAL CREATES COMMENT.
WASHINGTON, March 14-An editorial
article in the London Times of March I'd
on the Behring Sea question has excited
considerable comment at the State De-
partment. The article was based OH the
news published in London before the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the Say
ward case and the signature of the
Behring Sea arbitration treaty. In the
editorial the following language was
used: 1T is understood that as the award
cannot be given before the opening of the
next sealing season, it will be necessary
to renew the HtOdUS UiUendi another year"
This declaration was made one day after
Lord Salisbury had, through the British
Minister in this city, notified Secretary
Blaine that the nt0d1S Uice7adt would not
be renewed, but before that fact was nude
public.
