Tone on the Venezuelan Question Is
Rather Pacific.
London, Dec. 23.-Afternoon papers
today commented editorially at length
on the Venezuelan matter, but their re-
marks are on a financial rather than
a political phase. While there is no
abatement of expressions of belief that
the ground taken on behalf of the
United is untenable, the tone is al
together more pacific. Yet there is a
considerable display of satisfaction at

that there had been a special cabinet

there Is no doubt conference had been

The good people who have been skepti-
cal about the musical condition OF Los
Angeles, and especially those who have
felt in times pa.st that the good in music
was ignored for the bad. will be reassured
and made hop,aful for the future by the
announcement that within four hours
from the opening of the box sheet for ad-
vance sales for Eugene lsayes concert
avery extensive seat in the house was
sold. AS the concert will be given in the
Los Angeles theat1r and the whole body
of the house with the first three rows IN
the balcony, were included in that sale,
it will be seen that the mum Der was large,
and at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon the rest OF the balcony
and the gallery seats were being
taken nv those who are anxious to hear
one of the great violin virtuosi OF modern
times. His birthplace was liege, Bel
pium. and he is the most famous artist
that has ever graduated from the music
conservatory of that city. After his
graduation. the Belgian government fur-
nished a liberal purse for the pursuance
of his studies M Paris, and since then ne
has made a series OF successful tours
through Europe.
In Russia, italy, France and England
his experience WAS uniformly and Halter
ingly triumphant and since he came to
America last winter he has had series
of ovations from public and critics alike.
That conservative sheet. the New ork
Tribune, has this to say OF nim. which Is
as reliable as anything that could be
asked or expected III America.
at would be difficult to tell what
Ysaye plays like without indulging in
byperbole. He is an artist who provokes
an ecstasy while he is playing. and IN
vites to rhapsody when under discussion.
The voice of the violin is his own voice.
He sings upon it. sobs through it, and
shouts IN triumph by its aids. There is
no thought of the technical skill which
is essential TO its uttrances. The lnten-
sity of his playing, the tremendous. over
towering rush OF emotion saturates every
phrase Of his musN. He is IN every
respect wonderful nterpretative artist,
the eloquent voice of the composer. Last
night he played Saint-Saien $ concerto in
3 minor and Buch's Scotch fantasia,
and gave them dignity, beauty and
brilliancy which few who heard them
last night had ever been privileged to
know were native to them. Then the
generally staid and self-contained Phil
harmonic audience. being fired with an
enthusiasm which could not be stilled by
shouts OF bravo and Il tempest of hand
clapping, he added an etude by Lauter-
bach one of the ornaments of the Bel
gian school of which Isaye is now the
head. which, though designed as dis
play piece, yet served to show how even
mere dexterity can be made to serve the
ends of beauty.
This notice of his first appearance must
close with an imperfect and halting record
of one of the most overwhelming sue
cesses made in New York within two
decades ~
