Ellen would not consent, however, unless

was the only one Mrs. Harris had had in

we have some Of established reputation
IN our society. who can compare very
favorably with Eastern conductors.
Il hold that II the directors OF the Mid
winter Fair select band and orchestra
from our midst they will not only
give satisfaction. but will even prove
greater attractions, being purely OF Cali
fOrnla organization, than any foreign band
that could be brought here.
"Of course We could augment these or
chestras by securing soloisss from different
parts OF The country; it is an understood
thing that great solo artists are generally
on the wing. But as far as orchestral
work goes, we have 600 musicians in this
union, all OF whom have passed rigid
musical examination before they were ad-
mlfted. And another thing we demand is
that every member must be a citizen of
the United States. Being citizens and
taxpayers OF California, we only think it
right and Just that we should secure any
benefit which is to be derived from the
MldWlnter Fair. it being Californian
enterprise, prepared solely by Calfor-
mans.
SAT the same time allow me to state that
we believe the majority OF the directors
are in favor OF securing Californian bands
and orchestras. 1t would be folly to en-
gage an Eastern band, for the travelling
expenses of getting them out here would
add enormously to their cost.

FLAMANT'S VERSES.
They Appear in Neat Volume Of
Selections.

ScleCtiOnS.
Acting on happy inspiration Adolphe
Flamant has had published volume of
his verses. many Of which are already
known to the public from having appeared
from time to time in the columns Of the
Franco-CalifOrnien. The work contains
selections from his ''Petites Pensees Fa-
mIlieres," his Fables" and his "Mono-
logues," and is on sale at TauZy & Co.'S, 6
Post street.
There is remarkable versatility OF
poetical talent shown in the works that
make up MIR. Flamant's dainty little vol
ume. The most sublime subjects are
treated iu a spirit Of deep and serious
earnestness; indeed. of all our Franco
Californian poets works his ''Dien" (G0d)
is the most admired. The poem forms a
part of his advice to My Sous" and is
full OF beautiful and elevating thoughts.
But 1t Is not only Serious subjects OF
which Mr.. Fiamant treats, or. TO be more
correct, he does not always treatShls sub
lects seriously. Many Of his poems spar
kie with humor and lun. but beneath this
apparent gayety there is always an under
current OF sound and sometimes even
scathing philosophy.

His love of I'll, profession took him there,

dit'on of things in the Old World. The
heat in Spain is most trying. Cholera seems
to have taken root both in Spain and
France, the border papers of each country
accusing each other Of allowing patients
TO cross the border contrary to law. The

declared that good horses were being sold
for four francs, about so cents United

Bland Stands Out for His
Own Plan.
CLEVELAND HAS AN IDEA.
The Bland Bill Would Suit as a Com
promise, but the Bili'S Father
Wants More Than That.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. JAM 5.-All sorts Of silver
propositions are being talked over by the
members of the House. Bland has been
approached by dozens of members with
suggestions that a compromise be offered,
and a return TO the Bland act is the chief
compromise proposition suggested 10 him.
but Mr.. Bland at present refuses to listen TO
anything less than the coinage of $4,000. 600
worth Of silver per month, and to this the
other side. of course. will not agree.
CulbeTtson 3D. of Texas. chairman Of the
judiciary Committee, has prepared bill in
the nature OF compromise, which he will
introduce in the House. 1t requires the
coinage and use as an asset OF the accumu-
lated silver bullion now In the treasury.
The present law will be repealed and the
Bland law re-enacted.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The Advertisers
Washington special says: Cleveland has
Informed several Democrats in Congress
who come nearest TO representing bis views
on financial questions. and who are anxious
TO have the silver matter settled in some
way as speedily as possible, that he would
be content to have the Bland act restored
as a compromise in consideration of the re-
peal of the Sherman act. How far he is
using his influence to bring this about is un-
certain, but the men in Congress who are
interesting themselves in the matter are
very hopeful Of being able TO effect a CON-
promise.
