LONDON, AUG. 9.-The correspondent
of the Times at Shanghai says that the
missionaries killed at Ku Cheng were
murdered by ar organized band of
eighty vegetarians. The correspond
emit says:
The ladies begged for their lives,
promising to yield their property and
valuables, but the leader of the band
shouted out his orders to kill them
outright.
LONDON, Aug. 9.--At the chinese le-
cation here it Is stated no information

five persons have been killed or
wounded at Wha Sang.

bolical manner. 1t was entirely unpro-
voked evidently gremediated and care

are rumors of further riots near Flu

LONDON, Aug GA letter dated
April 8, from the murdered English
missionary, Rev Stewart, has been re-
ceived and describes the critical situa-
ton at Ku Cheng. He said that ten
days before the vegetarian rebels were
preparing to storm KuCheng at day
light. The gateways to the city were
barricsded and hundreds of men,
women and children in the mission
station outside of town were taken
within for safety. A heavy rain, how
ever, prevented the attack. Conclud-
ing Nj. Stewart says preparations
are being made to send all ome and
children to to coast. He expresses the
opinion that Japan-C Chinese freely is
arranged the rebels will be routed. If
not they might make an uprising a
success.
SHANaHr, Aug. 9-The Chinese magis-
trate at Ku Cheng waited for the com-
pletion of the massacre before ap-
pearing. There are q thousand SOL

absurd to say the authorities could

KEY AND BOW

Mr.. Arthur Abel thus writes of Joachim
from Berlin to the Musical Courier:
| was more in Joachim's playing, of
course, than in that of the others, and
perhaps an account of how the most
famous of all living violiniets plays at the
age of "a will interest those readers who
have never head him.
No one expects him to play now as he
once did, but his STYLE is still grand. 1t is
the grandeur and phenomenal breadth of
style which still keeps Joachim in the
front rank of volinists.
The great difference between Joachim
and his illustrious contemporary, Sarasate,
is this: Joachim aims at character, Sara
safe at beauty. Joachim ever endeavors
to give work such an Interpretation as
will make its character plain, even if he
has to sacrifice, at times, beauty to char
acter. Sarasate's purpose is, first OF all,
to play beautifully. with fine tone and
exquisite finish. Whatever he renders he
makes beautiful, but there is sameness
to his playing and he often sacrifices
character to beauty.
One accustomed to Sarasate would no
doubt find Joachim at times harsh. When
he brings out fernando on the G string
1t is with vengeance. You are never in
doubt as to whether he is playing forte or
fortissimo, piano or pianissimo. Joachim
is always terribly in earnest with him
art is serious matter. And yet, with
what delcacy and refinement he can play !!
He is at his best in slow movements. His
playing of the adagio of the G minor So
nata quite carried me away. He plays
with great feeling, but not with that
Hungarian temperament which one
might expect in him. His technic is no
longer what it was when first heard him
four years ago. That was at Weimar,
where he is annual visitor. He was con-
certmeister there more than forty years
ago, in the palmy days Of Weimar, when
when great musicians from all parts
of Europe made pilgrimages thither to do
the great pianist homage.
At that concert Joachim played his own
concerto in g major and the Bach cha
come. l shall never forget the impress
sions his playing. made upon me al. that
time. | do not think he played single
note out of tune then Now his intona-
ton is occasionally false; but it is won
der that he keeps up his technic as well,
for he has almost no time for practice.
His left hand is, as it were, created for
the violin. One would not think this,
though, on looking at his hand. But he
has remarkably strong and timber fingers.
He brings them down on the strings like
small sledge hammers; you can hear them
click on the finger board even i'll the most
rapid passages. This makes his runs so
distinct. His trill is not very fast, but
remarkably clear and even. He slides
very little in connecting slurred notes,
and makes only a slight use of the vi
brato. He is at all times quite free from
mere virtuoso effects.
love to watch the movements of his
right arm and wrist The young violinist
VINO would profit by hearing great per-
formers, especially in point Of bowling,

ears.
AS l have stated in former letter,

Of the German school. When observing
Joachim's right arm can realize what 1t
must have been twenty years ago when
Hair studied with him. Here we have
the source Of that artists matchless
bowling. Sl q
Joachim's cofnmand of the bow is still
great; he manages it with perfect ease and
utilities every inch of it--one of the first
characteristics Of a great artist. His legato
is played with supple wrist, whether exc
cuted in the middle or at the point. He
makes extensive use OF spiccato, both
light and heavy, always played in the
middle of the bow.
/ love to see Joachim on the concert
platform: To me he always suggests SOME
grand old warrior, Scared with the
wounds OF many battles, on whom the
hand of time has left its mark, who has
fought bravely for his cause for more than
half century, and who has left a glorious
conscious of his power hero in the
strife. What wonderful career he has
had! Through fifty-seven years he has
made glad the hearts of men with the
music of his violin. OF what service he
has been as teacher No other instru-
mentalist, except List, was ever able to
point to such an array of illustrious pupils,
now scattered over two continents. What
stimulus he has given to the playing OF
chamber music! There is nothing one
sided about Joachim. He is great as a
virtuoso, quartette player, teacher ana
conductor. Will any of the younger gem
Grafton OF violinists leave such record?
l doubt it. Even though they should at
tain to the same artistic heights, their
names would scarcely be surrounded with
such halo of glory. There are too many
good players now. Joachim was born at
q favorable time. Before his advent the
classical field was comparatively unoccu-
pied.
Spohr could hardly be considered a
rival; his lustre was already dimmed with
age, and he had been looked at by many
through the wrong end of the telescope
not until after his disappearance was his
true value to be realized.
David was fixed star and came prop.
erly in different category. The musical
heavens were illumined principally by
Ernst, Sivori, Ole Bull, Vieuxtemps and
lesser similar stars, or to greater or less
degree imitators of Paganini.
Therefore when this new and powerful
light unusual hue began to shine it al
once attracted universal attention, and
the magnitude of the star Joachim was
soon proclaimed to the world.
In other words, the conditions were
ripe for the appearance of such great in
terpreter of the classics. Coming just as
the love for brilliant feats of virtuosity
was beginning to wane, his unequaled
playing of Bach and Beethoven could not
fail to make deep impression on all true
musicians. Great genuises like List and
Mendelssohn at once recognized his meri,
and did all they could to further him,
His progress upward was rapid ano
steady, and his reputation kept apace.
l do not believe the name of any Other
living violinist, whatever his attainments
will ever carry such weight all over the
world as that of Joseph Joachim.

ADJUSTMENTS

The Burbank. Against Woman
is strong play. The situations are in
tense and to keep the action harmonious
with the lines requires the ability which
only finished actors have. The Daley
Company, which last night presented this
great drama at the Burbank, showed no
lack of appreciation of the possibilities OF
the play and was alb to make finished
production of it and one that was well re-

suffered much hunger then. So Lent was
