The Performance OF "The HuGuenots" at
the Acadeny or Music.
Meyerbeer's "HuEuenots." produced last
evening by Mapleson's company. was q per-
formanee in which the admirable certainty pre-
dominated, but which, nevertheless, in the
first two acts, fell far short of an ideal
representation. There were two first ap-
psarances"-Signor De March,. tenor. who
sang Raotl. and Nine. Albini. who es-
sayed tho role of the Queen. Nine. Darcle
was Valentino. Signor Ughetto. who by mistake
received no mention upon his first appearance,
confirmed the excellent impression he made

assumption of the role of the Conte dc
Nerers. His voice is smooth, agreeable in
quality. and used with q method far
moro finished than is usually found, even in
artists who may justly be ranked in the FIRST
class. The whole opera was considerably
lowered in point Of brilliancy by the wholesale
cutting done to the part of the Queen.
This, however. was undoubted necessary.
since Mime. Albini was over weighted
even by that small portion of the music she
attempted. While her voice is agreeable. she Is
by no means equipped for roles OF tho first mag

entirely wkward stage appearance and mean
ingless gestures.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Too much political
activity in the campaign by of1ceholders of the
Administration is to be punished by the Presi.
dent, and tho headsman's axe will fall in the
cases OF q number holding responsible positions
In the various departments. For several weeks
Secretary Carlisle and the President have had
their eyes on several officials who have spent
the best part Of their annual leave making free
silver speeches throughout the country aud
urging the election OF the Bryan ticket, and to-
day four Of these were dismissed and several
others are expected to go shortly. The reason
assigned Is not given In the letters Of dismissal,
but officials of the Treasury this evening admit
that 1t was because the President did not be-
lieve oficeholders had any right to advocate
the election of q ticket opposed by the Admins
tration.
The first act of Mr.. Carlisle this morning was
to cleave the heads of four mon holding onice

Thomas F. Brantley of South Carolina, Audi

missed because he took two weeks leave ana
delivered speeches In West Virginia. .Brantley
did not reflect on the Administration, but spoke
openly In advocacy Of the Bryan ticket.
Burton T. Doyle. who holds an important
place In the same department, also received his

Before the week closes Deputy Commissioner
Of Pensions Bell will probably be asked to get

These dismissals to-day have created great

ardent Bryanites and active in the campaign.
