NINE. MELBA's CONCERT.
Brilliant Audience Heard Fine SeIec

brIlIlAW AuuieDce Hear0 Fine Selec-
tiOn~ From FavOrire Operas.
Rarely does more brilliant audience as
semblc in Washington than that which en-
ioyed the melange of concert and opera
which was presented at Aliens Grand
Opera House last evening by the Mclba
Company. From front orchestra chairs to
upper gallery. the fashionable and aesthetic
filled the chairs. and the private boxes were
crowded with national and local notables.
Nine. Melba was in fine voice. and in the
chief features of the entertainment. the sec
ond act of "Faust' and the mad scene
OF Lucia di LammermOor. she rose to the
height OF really grand artistic perform
ance. Nine. Mclba is not emotional as an
actress. but rather the reverse. In the pa
thetic part of Lucia. however. she gave
sympathetic Interpretation. which made
that passage a far superior performa nee 10
the rather cold personificatiOn OF Marguer-
ite. Nine. Melba's voice is not of the ten
derest quality 1t does not yield easily TO
the trick of tears: but it is an honest voice
and within its natural register shows a
training and technique which nearly ap-
proaches perfection. If the range be linl-
tied, the execution within that range leaves
little opportunity for adverse criticism
A more yielding temperament. n slightly
more intimate association of the singer
with the subtle suggestions of the song,
would place Melba in the ranks of the
greatest artists of the day in the domain of
romantic or tragic opera.
1t goes without saying that Nine. Scalchi 1
gave most acceptable performa nee of the
all too limited task assigned 10 her, and
similar Judgment may be given upon the
effort of Mile. Bauermeister. Campanari
was very inspiring in his rendition of the
Figaro" song, from THE Barber of Sc
ville," and of the "Toreador.' from Car
men," and Signor D'Aubigne though his
voice is somewhat thin. was very pretty and
and effective as Faust

A REPRESENTATIVE WANTED
Local Japanese Need a Vice
Consul
THE INITIAL STEPS TAKEN
Meetings Have Been Held and Peti.
tions Drawn
Steamship Line to Be Subsidized by the
Mikado's Government, Whose Ter
minus May Be Near

The Japanese population of this city
wants consular representative Of the
eastern Yankee empire stationed in Los
Angeles. and within a few days the as
sistance of the chamb Der of commerce is
TO be invoked to bring this result about.
Rino Yu Shir, the proprietor of a
japanese store on Upper Main street near
the plaza, yesterday informed Herald
reporter that several meetings of his
countryme located in this city have
been lately held and it hes been decided
to petition Minister Kurino at Washing
ton city to have a Japanese vice consul
stationed at Los Angeles. Just at present
the only two japanese consular repre-
sentatives on this coast are the consul
generalsat San Francisco and a consul
who is located at Vancouver, b. c. There
are very few Japanese located in the lat
ter port. and the only reason that repre-
sentative OF the Mikado is there located
is because the place is the terminus for
the Canadian Pacific line of Chlna-Japan
steamers.
The Japanese government is about to
subsidize line uf steamers of its own,
which are intended to ply between the
principal ports of 1the empire and the
Pacific coast of the United States. Just
now the Puget sound section claims to be
the favored section which mas been Sc
lected as the terminus for the proposed
line upon this side. The Half Million
club and kindred organizations OF San
Francisco have, however, recently taken
the matter in nand and an effort is to be
made to have the line anchor up at the
bay city. Rino Yu Shir, in discussing
the matter yesterday. said:
1.-The proposed new steamer line ought
to run into some one of the ports imme-
diately contiguous to Los Angeles. This
city is several hundred miles nearer the
big eastern markets than any other port
on the Pacific coast, There are two tranJ-
continental roads here capable OF hanu-
ling all of the traffic which would be
brought in. This line, that is now a GER
tainty, will be a big affair. Two ships
are to be run each month and the passen-
ger service to be furnished will be better
than that now given to the public by any
of the lines at present in the field. If an
effort we're maze TO get the line here.
think it might be successful. The thing
is certainly worth trying"

stantiate his side of the proposition. He
took for his authority some tabulatsd
statements Cleaned from a bankers mag
azinc, which, among other things, m en-
toned the concentration of wealth irto
but few hands, the general impoverish-
rnent OF the masses and the unheard of
confscation of property through mort
gage Indebtedness. His remarks appealed
to the audience in logical manner.
J. r. Armstrong was the next speaker
to take the floor, which he did on the
negative side OF the question. He ad-
duced dozen reasons why the wage
slave is not disinherited. First and tore
most he declared that as long as a man
held in his hand the elective franchise
he was not q slave. ont sovereign. That
conditions are simply the reflex oil his
ideas and as he grows more enlightened
his conditions must entirely change.
Nothing on the statute books can retard
the growth of man toward higher and
better ideals and conditions.
II the constitution of the United States
in any manner or degree needs enlarge
ment so as to comprise the better form
of civilization, the people are ut liberty
to do so at their will. In this sense dis
inheritance of the masses is untenable
and not justified by the facts. His re-
marks we're we'll taken, and the audience
Joined heartily pro and con in the DIS
cussion The debate closed with slight
majority favoring the Affirmative.
The question po8 was then opened and
many puzzling questions were proposed
for answering. Among them appeared the
following: Can the masses change pres
ent conditions by the ballot? What is the
present issue of the day? Have all men
equal Opportunities to live in this coun-
try?
The question for next Sundays discus
sion is: Resolved, That the right of
eminent domain does not involve COM
pensation. J. r. Armstrong will take
the negative and DR.. Doss will take the
affirm alive. A series of meetings under
the auspices of the association will be
held on the streets, the first one COM
mencing on Wednesday evening at 1850
O clock at the corner of Market and
Spring streets.

THE AGRICULTURAL FAIR
Will Open Monday Next Under Favorable
Auspices

Will Open Monday Next Under Favorable
Auspices
The day for the opening of the Sixth
District Agricultural fair is drawing very
near. Monday next, one week from to-
day, and all who contemplate exhibiting
stock, farm products or material in the
horticultural department should make
very prompt application for space.
The pavilion will be ready on Thursday
to receive goods giving exhibitors ample
time and opportunity to arrange every
thing as they may desire.
R. II. Hewitt, superin tendsnt of the
pavilion, has bsen engaged in arranging
details of the exposition and interview
ing artisans manufacturers and fruit
growers, and reports everything propi.
tious for an excellent exhibition of ar
tistic work and all the varied farm pro-
ducts.
A full display of what the soil of Los
Angeles county produces.if massed under
one roof in small quantities carefully Sc
lected, would make an exhibition une-
quAlled in any portion Of the world, and
there is every reason to think that such
a showing will be made next week.
Hedge trim mings for wreaths and ca
bles are wanted, as also palm leaves and
other evergreens for decorations of the
pavilion. Any one having eitheror all
of these will confer favor by sending
word to No. 1917 North Main street, to
M. F. Brown. secretary. or to r. H.
Hewitt and they will be called for.
The girls sewing class of Los Angeles
Orphans home have been assigned a
location in the pavilion balcony, and
under direction of their teacher and the
lady managers of the home will show to
visitors ths training and occupation of
the girl inmates of the home. 1t will be
an interesting and pleasing sight.
3 A large additional building in which
to exhibit poultry is being erected, and
that portion of the exposition will be the
largest the association has ever held, and
many excellent bresds OF high bred fowls
will be shown. A large number OF car
rier pigeons will also be in com petition.
Many new stalls and pens for cattle
and swine are being built, but from the
number OF entries already made in this
department it is very doubtful if the
present accommodations are sufficient.
However, lumber has been provided and
carpenters will be employed all the week
and room for all will be arranged for.
The agricultural fair of 1895 will be
SUCCESS.
