The following communication was re-

orchestra:
Mr. AID Mrs John Marquardt, former con-
cert master and harpist of ScheePs orchestra,
will leave for Australia on the 18th of June
They viii play in Honolulu two concerts and
start from there by steamer Monowai on the
4th of Jaly for New Zealand to begin there q
concert sour through the colonies.
The prospect of the Scheel concerts for next
season seems anything but pleasing, and il
looks as if San Franciscans have at last tired
of every night concerts. 1t must be admitted
that We have been appreciated very much; in
deed. we have seldom met with such ensthu
siast;c people as in our concerts here the last
two seasons.
However, it is an undeniable fact that mu-
sicans are only mortals and have to eat and
drink like other citizens and can therefore not
live on promises OF the Metropolitan Musical
Society, and 1t will not be very long until we
find that the so-calleo stalled musicians of
San Francisco have left the City one by one
OF course money will procure the artists from
the East if they cannot be found right here,
and it is therefore not to be inferred from our
words that with the departure of the soloists of
the orchestra concerts must cease to exist. Mr.
Scheel is still here and he will try again.
Thanking you for your kindness, we remain,
etc. Mr.. AND MRS. JOHN MARQUARDT

Captain johnson Needs Extradition Pa.
pers for George Bartels.
The case of the schooner Star of Free.
dom, which was stolen from Oakland
Creek by George BarteIs, is hanging fire in
the Mexican courts. Captain w. johnson
the owner of the craft, went to La Paz and
claimed her, but as no extradition papers
had been forwarded no attention was paid
to him.
The skipper wrote to his brother, w. H
Thornley,, and that gentleman laid the
matter before the United States District
Attorney. On turning upathe files it was
found that Bartels was indicted on Nav
II last, and that request for his extradi.
ton had been forwarded to Washington
This will come here in due course, and
will be forwarded to the United States Con-
sui at L. Paz. In the meantime Captain
johnson is running into debt and his
schooner is still in the hands of the Mexi.
can authorities.
