INC Remenyi Concert.

Fdouard Remenyi. the celebrated vio-
liu.sr accompanied by number OF excel
lent artists viii appear AT the Seattle the
ater next Monday night. Whatever may
be the claims OF other great vlollnists Of
the present century 10 commanding posi-
tlons as artists. 1t remains an undlsputed
fact that TO AIR. Remenyi alone has fallen
the heritage OF Paganinfs eTratic and
brilliant, but masterful musical genius.
The verdict rendered by the public and
the most eminent critics Of the entire
world, warrants the positive assertion that
no artist who has appeared Ia America
during the past decade comes Nth such
a divine right to rule the musical public
as Remenyf. the Hungarian violinisL IL
has Justly been said OF Mr.. Remenyi.
There il no opportunity for critcising
such a player. he sweeps criticism and
every sort OF objection away" The world
Is so familiar with the mama Of Remenyi
and the great artists work, that 10 say
ANYTHING further here would be superhu-
Gus. He IA easily the most popular artist
on the American concert stage.

CUBA AND THE SENATE.

PAaIs, March 2.-Copsiderablea attention
is attracted TO the Cuban situation, which,
for the present, has the lead in political
ed itorial comments and as a subject of
discussion in the clubs and other places
where mil itary men aud politicians
gather daily.
The Figaro, commenting on the ac-
tion of the United States Senate, says that
while the Senate's vote resulting from
the violent attitude of General Weyler can
hardly be excused, the recall of Marshal
Martinez de Campos was double occur
renee externally and internally inasmuch
as the coming elections may bring sur
prises.
The Journal blsmes the United States
Senate for palliating the outrages of the
insurgents and condemning the repres-
sive measures of General Neyler. Gdding
"Europe ore day will have to unite against
this method of applying the Monroe Doc
trine.
The Iibre Parole expresses the opinion
that "The intervention of the United
States at every turn is as ridiculous as
1t is sggravating. Spain, which compelled
Bismarck TO recede, will not retreat be-
fore Sherman, the brother of the slayer
