FRESNO, August 8.
NJ H. de- Young. Director General MddtDin'
ter International Exposition, San Francisco
DEAR SIR: Your telegram OF yesterday on
hand and Its contents noted. In reply we Will
say that We have interviewed q number of cti-
Zens of this county, who usually contribute
literally toward matters OF public interest, In
relation 10 contributing 10 the general FUNDS
for the Midwfnter Exposition aud without
single exception we ind that they will not do
nate single dollar to the general fund.
Tney say that San Francisco Will receive
the direct and immediate benefit from
the fair, and that all money spent there by ex-
hibitors, visitors, etc.. will go 10 that place and
opinion here Is hat, under these circumstances,
If Interior counties supply good exhibits OF the
products and resources OF the State your city
certainly should supply the space, ETC., for the
exhibition of The same. They say that the pro-
ducers are unable to realize anything or borrow
banks aud montyed men who usually supply
the necessary money for II udliDg the crops
this year declining to do so, the producers
are unable TO meet their obligations to mer-
although they might contribute in a limited
degree toward county exhibit at the exhi 6i-
ton, provided San Francisco supplies the
space for the same, they will not do more.
After much consideration and consultation
with the others undersigned the commissioners
of Fresno County nave arrived at the conclu.
sion that, owing TO the present feeling and
financial condition. ii will be very difficult 10
raise funds sufficient for county exhibit. to
say nothing OF funds for your committee. we
do not desire 10 proceed with our exhibit In
any halfway manner, ana if Fresno cannot ex-
hiblt at your fair commensurate with her re-
sources we will not feel justified In putting any
there AT all, and We Will be unable TO dc this II
your committee persists In It's demands.

you the situation here. The Government
was surprised and alarmed at the extent
of the revolution in Rio Grande do Sui
Owing to tho popular ty Of Rear Admiral

general sentiment Of the country favors the

VALPARAISO. Aug. S.-Advices received
from prominent firm In Rio state that
the censorship of cable messages is due
entirely to tho revolution In Rio

PANAMA. Aug. 8-Advices from Car
tagena are to the effect that the Govern
ment has succeeded in frustrating
the plot OF the Liberals to blow
up portions of Cartagena, Barran-
auilla and the country residence Of
Nunez with dynamite. The Widest eX-
element prevails in consequence. 1t Is
reported that the Government has been
aware for some time of the plot and al
lowed it to proceed until It was prepared
to kill the movemsnt 1T one blow md bag
all the copspirators.
Among thosa under arrest ara Domingo
Villa, Governor OF Panama In 1883; General
Urueta and General Urea. The latter was
charged with the execution Of the plot. All
will probably either be shot or exiled.
The intention of tho plotters was to
follow up the destruction by dynamite
with a general revolution throughout the
republic and to overthrow the Govern
ment. The failure Of tho scheme Is duo
to the betrayal Of the plan by one OF the
participants in tho plot.
Prominent mem srs OF the Liberal party
here declare that the charges against
the men under arrest arc untrue and
that they were trumped up as
prstext for imprisoning and exil-
Ing or shooting the Liberal leaders
and supervising their organs. several
prominent Colombian and VsnsZuelan
Liberals have arrived here from New
York on the steamer Curacao. They
brought arms to aid the rsv0lntlonlsfs.
but the premature m ovsment at Cartagena
upset all their plans, and their documents
and arms wero seized.

There has been good deal OF change

our San Francisco audiences during

the taste here is quite on par with that
10 the East, though OF course people
there have the advantage of continually
hearing bands that are, always PLAYING
enough to form permanent bands. but
there are few such organization supported:
"A band, you understand. explained
Mr.. Spadina. cannot do itself justice
when its members have not played for

tinued. "but I receive more requests to re-

me to give series of all Beethoven's

they don't admire Beethoven. but because
people might Complain that the series was
too long. The class of people who admire
a good kind of music are not the ones who

probation that is very gratifying to the
musicians"

CORNELY HARD AT WORK.
Foreign Exhibitors Are Beginning to
Show Lively Interest


CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Assistant Director
General Cornely nut in heavy days work
with the foreign exhibitors at the fair.
His rooms in the California building had
been fitted up and maps of California, San
Francisco and Golden Gate Park and the
ground plan of the Midwinter Fair hung
upon the walls. Over sixteen frst-class
exhibitors called to-day. leaving written
Communications and taking with them
blank applications for space which they
will Immediately fill in and return.
Early to-day circular letters signed by
the director-general and officially an
nouncing the holding of the fair were sent
to the officials of every foreign depart
ment and 10 Director-Gensral Davis as
the chief representative of the = uited
States at the Columbia Exposition. Ac-
companying the letters were pamphlets
containing full information and diagrams.
The representatives of the British Com
mlssloners were received this afternoon
and arrangements were made for the
early meeting of all the British exhibitors
and their agents for the purpose OF select
ing commissioners TO represent the British
nation at the MidwiDter Exposition, and
similar organization will be accomplished
In the case OF each nationality at present
represented at the Worlds Fair grounds.
hlr. Cornely thinks some weeks will be
consumed in this work
Letters sent out to-day will notify every
department of the exposition that the ac-
credited representative of the San Fran
cisco Midwinier Fair, as it has been
calico, is IN chicago and ready for bust
ness. and the California building from TO-
morrow on will doubtless become the
Mecca of regular pilgrimages on the part
Of foreign and domestic exhibitors.

Taken All in All, San Francisco Musi-
cal Taste Is Decidedly Critical
and Severe.

The poor opinion In which our local
musicians are held by some members OF

proposition to import Eastern bands here
have caused good deal of discussion In
San Francisco musical circles respecting
the position which California occupies In
the musical world at large
Are we strong senough artistically to
regale the visitors to the fair with home
bands and orchestras? Or is thetwild and

THE CALL has invited the opinions of a
few Of our leading conductors as to the
kind of music that pleases San Fran

spoken frankly, in some cases even
scathingly. But ons the whole their
opinion fully uphods the reputation that

SYMPHONY CONCERT.

Tho best music pleases the people here
the best" declared Adolph Bauer EN-
phatically. "Of course they won't stand
two symphonies in one programme. No
one would. You cannot make dinner
completely of solid food. All banquets
have entrees and dainty little dishes be-
tween tho heavy courses.
II always recognize four different classes
among the audience at my concerts." pur-
sued Bauer rptlectively. There are the
students and musicians. who are present
to hear the symphony and heavy works.
1t is quite easy to recognize them they
come with the score. and follow every bar.
The next are those who come to the con-
cert because 1t Is fashionable to be musical.
The third class come because they enjoy
music. without however caring much for
the symphony; many of them leave be-
fore 1t commences. Oh! not without an
excuse, however," said Mr.. Bauer, smil-
ing trif1e sarcastically. "A large number
OF them appear to live in surrounding
towns. They have boats to catch, or
trains. that won't wait for them.
There Is fourth class" pursued the
director Of the symphony concerts hesi-
tatingly. "but perhaps it would be better
not to allude to those people,"
They would eli imagine themselves in
one II the other throe divisions" suggest
ed the reporter
That's impossible, for they say openly,
MIR. Bauer. we come to your concerts be-
cause we don't know what to do with our
selves, and it is one means Of killing
time'-whch is very tiattering to me-"
added the musical director with a sardonlc
little smile. Eyes, those are the fourth
class" confessed Mr.. Bauer. land on the
whole those classes are to be found every
where. Musical taste in this city is the
same as 10 any other large town. except
that classical concerts have been given
more spasm odfcally here than In New
York or Boston. and consequently until
recently the people have not had n chance
Of acquiring taste for symphony.

"But whoever says he cannot listen to
