P.ADEREWSKT COMING,

Ignace J. Paderewski, who is admit tedly the legitimate successor of Anton Rubenstein and who stand to-day the king of all pianists, will give a recital at the Hyperion on Tuesday afternoon, December 3, at 2:3O o'clock The New York Sun of yesterday said of his re- cital in that city on Saturday after noon: The marvellous hold which the Polish pianist has on his audiences is amply manifested by his ability not only to keep them interested during a recital of over two hours duration, but to work them up by his electric per- formance to a pitch of unrestrained en- thusiasm and send them home in a glow of pleasurable excitement.
 It was as large as the hall would hold without an infringement of the law, and it is hard to say how many were turned away, unable to procure even standing room. The enthusiasm, and eliminated in reckless demands on the players good nature, to which he acceded to the extent of playing no less than four supplementary pieces after the fourteen set down on the program. The audience would probably still be calling for more had not six stalwart men after the fourth encore come upon the scene and borne the piano bodily away.

--------------- ------------- IMMENSE FOREST FIRES.
Considerable Property Has Already Been
 Destroyed,

Santa Rosa, Cal, Nov. 17.-An inn mense forest fire has been raging for the past twentyfour hours among the hills two miles northeast of the city. The loss sustained to property, fences, etc., is immense. Over 50,0OO acres of territory have been burned. Three houses with contents were destroyed. Ranchers in dismay turned loose their cattle to enable them to escape death in the flames. The county hospital, in which there are a large number of pa- tients, narrowly escaped destruction.
 Near Emigrant Gap fires have been raging for the past forty-eight hours. The flames have spread from the east to the west side of the Southern Pacific tracks and miles of snow sheds are doomed. Fire trains and large num- bers of workmen are engaged in fight ing the flames. Considerable property has been destroyed around Canon City,

MODJESKA.
Her Last Appearance in This City.

Modjeska appeared in this city for the last time Saturday evening in "Magda," an, English adaptation of Sudermann's much discussed "Hei- math." The play has been given often at the Irving Place theater in German and will probably be in Bernhardt's reper- toire when she comes to this country in January. Thus Modjeska's appear ance had double interest in that it was the last visit of great artist and charming woman, and the first hearing here of a great social drama. Space will not permit now a discussion of all this play means to the dramatic litera- ture of this country and Europe, and We can only say a few words of fare well to the actress who has been a fa- vorite here always and who holds to- day warmer place in the hearts of the American people than any other actress of this generation. She has never once swerved from the path of artistic righteousness, never sought to win per sonal glory by any anvantitious means, but always devoted her genius to the furtherance of the drama and the thea ter of her adopted land. She retires now with her powers still unimpaired, and carries with her the love of the na- ton whom she has so faithfully served. Her reception Saturday night must have shown her the high regard in which she is held by the people of New Haven.

Rush Greater Than Exnected.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 17.-The rush to the Neg Perce reservation is prov ing even greater than was expected. From and through this city by every road leading to the garden spot are long trains of prairie schooners" and every imaginable description of vehicle carrying the loads of lhome-seekers. It is estimated that when the opening gun is fired on Monday at least 5000 people will begin the wild scramble for choice locations.

who was taken from the water alive, is still at the hospital in a critical condi- ton. He has not regained conscious ness.
 The most plausible theory regarding the cause of the disaster is the removal of the circuit breaker, which was re- placed by derailing switch about two weeks ago. Formerly the circuit was broken several hundred feet from the swinging portion of the Viaduct when ever the draw was open. According to the new contrivance which was con stantly set ito derail a car, it was nec- essary for the car to stop. The con- ductor would set the "detailer" and sig nal the motorman to go ahead, This procedure was enacted last night and as the misty rain had so covered the glass in the vestibule the motorman claims to have been unable to see the danger lights, depending solely upon the conductors signals. As the con- ductor went down to death with his car it will never be known what caused him to fail to see the lights and see that the bridge was open.
 c. R. Brennan, the captain of the bridge, was standing at the guard gates at the time the car approached. He says he saw the conductor run ahead to the switch and signal the motorman to proceed and that the car was going at a speed of six miles per hour when it struck the gates. He made a futile attempt to hold the gates and would have been carried down had it not been for a. chum who dragged him aside. Just as the lights went out he saw the peo- pie rush to the front of the car and heard girl scream, "Oh, my Godr He says the car did not turn much in falling.
 The moment the accident became noised about last night undertakers hurried to the docks with their wagons and engaged in an unseemly wrangle for the bodies. In one instance the head of body was on one stretcher ment pulled the feet over on their own stretcher.
 Cries of "Shame!" from the crowd had no effect. Frantic relatives of the miss. ing men and women rushed about town from one undertaker's to another trying to discover their dead brother ot the Saurenheimer girl tainted at the DO. lice station when he recognized hel | shawl. The relatives of Miss Davies cried most piteously when they discov- cred her body in an undertaking estab. l lishment some distance from the scene of the accident

WILL PROVIDE PROTECTION
GERMANY WILL DISCUSS THE QUES.
 II0N OF UNITED ACTION.

It Makes Considerable Change in the
 ofacial Attitude of the Government of
 Germany Which Has Been Reluctant to
 Admit of Anything Like Coercion With
 the Sultan Necessary.
 Berlin, Nov, 17.-Prince von Hohen- lohe since his conference with the em- peror has intimated to Count Goulous- chi, Australian minister of foreign af- fairs, that Germany will consent to discuss the question of united action toward the Turkish government so far as providing protection to Christians and maintaining order are concerned. Althought this assent does not com- init Germany to any definite policy be- yond participating in negotiations it still marks considerable change in the official attitude of the government which has hitherto been reluctant to admit that anything like coercion of the sultan is likely to be necessary. Since he and the emperor visited Constantinople in 1889 the German em- peror is the only European monarch
 the sultan has personally met and the two sovereigns have every year since
 the visit exchanged friendly greetings. But the most potent factor in convince
 ing the sultan of the desire of Ger- | many for a policy of moderate inter-
 vention in Turkey is the information | conveyed through Prince Badolin, the German ambassador at St. Petersburg, | that the overtures made by Italy and Great Britain looking to the adoption of extreme measures have been reject ed as being inopportune. The idea ad- vanced by Baron Blanc, the Italian | minister of foreign affairs, which is believed to be supported by Lord Sails | bury, that England should establish a coalition with the dreibund in the event of the breaking up of the Otto-
 man Empire has not commended it. self to the Berlin government as being in the meantime worthy of the discus- sion and the tone of semi-oficial press l is in consonance with the policy of Germany.
 | The Frankfurter Zeitung publishes al telegram from Constantinople asserting
 that M. Nelidoff, the Russian aml~
 bassador to Constantinople, has de- clared that Russia would not accept | the mandate of the powers in the paci- fication of Armenia.

That he was a great man, even

He was an artist in the management OF

to feminine use. He had originality, in
genuity, audacity and business shrewd-
