FIRST DAYS PERFORMANCE
Of the Grand Festival by Scheel's
Orchestra.

1t would be impossible for the most
carplng critic to suggest improvements in
the first concert of the musical festival,
which was given by the Fritz, Scheel or
chestra yesterday evening, in Metropcli-
tan Temple.
Even the programme had been care
fully and artistically edited to give the
audience as much esthetic insight into the
music as possible.
Sant-SaeDs' famous symphonic poem,
the ''Danse Macabre." was the sensation
of the evening. A few stanzas from Henri
CaZalis' poem explained its motive

Whistles, the night is dark, the hideous
grOan. skeletons cross the shadow. run and
jump in their shrouds. one hears the bones
of the dancers clatter. But psIt, they fee,
the rooster has crowed."
This weird dance Of death was inter-
preted in a most artistic and realistic
spirit. Herr MarQuardt performed the solo.
Death Played on His Violin" The dance
zig Zig" on the orchestra was taken
first at somewhat slower tempo than
is sometimes the case. but Herr ScheeTs 5
baton marked gradual accelerando till
amid the snrieks of the violins and the
clatter of the xylophone, which predo
mated over the other instruments, it
sounded as though the rattling skeletons
were performing a madly rapid dance.
But psit!' there was a sudden pause,

While the vibrations of the strings died
away. as though the skeletons were fleeing
to he remote distance.

People applauded with such determin A.
ton that Herr Scheel was literally forced
TO repeat It.
Fraulein Breltschuck's "Elegy for
Harp by Obsrthur was another number
that people clamored to hear again.
Miss Breitschuck did not respond otber-
wise than by bowing her acknowlede-
ments. Here Franz HelPs pIav,np of
Gounod's ''Serenade" was another reyela-
ton of the capabilities of the f1uegelhorn.
His execution in the familiar song was
as smooth and finished as that of the most
accomplished singer, indeed, there were
moments when the timbre of the sonnds
resembled that of beautiful soprano
voice.

VICTORIA, b. c., Dec. 2S.-A well in
formed man who has recently arrived
from Honolulu says that the position of
the annexer government is not q soft one
just now. Republican simplicity" in
the governing body is 'unfavorably COM
pared with the royal open-handedness
and there Is discomfort even among those
in power, some of whom were in the
queens service and the moment they see
n prospect of a change will desert to her.
Others who sec that they can make noth-
ing will stand by the present system. A
majority of the natives favor the queen
and arc jealous Of foreign interference
A very strong feeling still exists against
annexation to the United States and even
members of the American league are not
all favorable. However much may be
| said of the election it was all one-sided us
a majority Of the people would not tax c
| the oath of allegiance. Money is scarce, as
the operation of the Mckinley bill has al
most destroyed the sugar industry and the
Wilson bill only benefits the United States
sugar trust to the disadvantage of Hawaii
an sugar growers, whom annexation would
not benefit il because it would make it i'm
possible to employ cheap oriental labor
