vocalist was screeching. An affirmative
nod would follow from the other, who,
perhaps, would join the chorus or make
some remark upon the popularity of the
music
For an hour the concert proceeded. At
times the music was slow and compare

loud, and the movement rapid. Every
change was noted by the auditors. who be-
came greatly interested in the various in
struments.
Paderewski was particularly pleased
with bamboo flute. This had sad,
sweet tone, even when Chinese airs were
issuing from it. A species of mandolin
also excited mis- curiosity, while the ear
piercing fiageoet, with its bagpipe-like
tone was not so favored.
Marsick was more pleased with the little
two-stringed fiddle, which has head like
mallet. He took it in his hand and tried
to play. His method of holding the in
strument caused much amusement to the
Chinese and he abandoned all attempts to
play on it after having succeeded in win
ming several plaintive shrieks from the
unwilling strings. But he admired the
rattlesnake skin that covered the head of
the fiddle.
"There is no doubt that the Chinese
play tunes" Paderewski said, in discuss

the same general class.
There were orchestral bellishments
and additions, but there were never varia-

and over again. Sometimes it was faster
and sometimes slower. Again, the long

One of the first courtesies extended by
Paderewski to Marsick, the vlollnlst, was
TO take him into the Chinese quarter.
Accompanied by one or two triends they
went to one OF the merchants ciups on
Jackson street. An orchestra OF s!rihg
and wind instruments was there In waiting
with vocalist of high repute, VINO sang
women's parts at the theater.
The orchestra waited more than an hour
beyond the appointed time. They had
heard of the great musicians that they
were to play for, and they were ANXIOUS TO
exhibit their skill.
When Paderewski and Marsick were ap--
preaching the clubroom, word was passed
up that they were coming. The band at
once began a clamor OF music OF the
widest kind. This continued after the
visitors had entered and were seated.
The two noted artists sat together
beside a small table. They were inter
ested in the music and utterly oblivious
to everything else. The Chinese band
played on, and the musicians looked as
unconscious as if the presence OF their
great visitors had not been anxiously
looked forward to for several hours.
Both Paderewski and Marsick leaned for

music and accentuated the rhythm with

"How THE United States Consul Gen

as inspiring theme for a little epic poem

as laying down to Butcher Weyler his ul-
timatum. If you shoot the captives, my
government instructs me to close its con-

your government responsible" This 10
the kind of talk the people of the United
States like to hear. 1t reminds them of

PRESS COMMENT.
CatrOn's Little Bait.

The following in the New MEXICAN on
May 16 only publishes what we all know
so we'll to have been clever trick of Mr..
Catron.
"Since it is we'll known historical fact
that I. B. Catron paid the campaign ex-
penses of T. B. Mills, Populist candidate
for delegate in congress at the last elec-
tion, the trick may not be worked so
smoothly this year. If all the Pops are
not fools, Col. Mills and Chairman Stamm
will be called on at the forthcoming ter
ritorial convention in Albuquerque to
rise up and explain few"
The dodge succeeded we'll in the ma
terial aid it afforded Catron in his sue
cessful attempt to reach congress but it
proved the then unfortunate weakness of
one party and the trusting credulity of
the people who bit at Catron's little bait.
To be the creation of the swindling policy
of a Catron is base enough; but the in
auguration of system of gangism and
discriminating and injurious county GEN.
tralization is an existing status that our
people must sweep away, and prevent the

SCIENTISTS, ATTENTION.

The attention of the scientists of the
world is called to the fact that the cy-
clone is most destructive thing in some
parts of the country. Perhaps in the
past two weeks 1000 people have suffered
death from this cause and fully double as
many have been injured. 1t seems that
some individuals will insist on dwelling
in localities where the cyclone is in the
habit of roaming at large rather than
come to the beautiful and fruitful valleys
of the Rocky mountains, and therefore
we are constrained, purely in the interest
of humanity, to call the subject to the
notice of Mr.. Edison, Mr.. Teskla and DR..
Roentgen in hopes that they may devise
some means of heading off these death
dealing combinations of wind and water.

Oanta re, May z, looo'
Whereas, At meeting of the Demo-
cratic territorial central committee, held
at the city of Santa Fe on the 5th day of
February, 1896, it was ordered that ter
ritorial convention be held at Las Vegas
on June Is, 1896, for the purpose of elect
ing six delegates to the national Demo-
cratic convention to be held at Chicago
on July 7, 1896.
Now, therefore, pursuant to said order,
and, in accordance with the general au-
thority in US vested, a convention of the
Democratic party of New Mexico is here
by proclaimed to be held at Las Vegas on
June Is, 1896, at the hour of II O'Clock a.
m, to be constituted according to the or
der of this committee made at it's said
meeting as follows, to-wit: One delegate
from each county for each 100 votes cast
for Antonio Joseph for delegate to con-
gress at the last general election, and one
delegate for each fraction of 100 votes so

Total delegates. ......

The county central committees of the
respective counties are hereby requested
to call county conventions to be held in
due time for the selection of the author
lied number of delegates to said terri
torial convention in accordance with the
rules and regulations, or the usages and
practices of the party in each county. 1t
is suggested that primaries be held in the
and that the county conventions be held
not later than June s, 1896.
In carrying out the orders of this COM
mittee at its said meeting, all Democrats
and all those who intend to act with tho
Democratic party are hereby invited to
participate in the primaries in the re-
spective counties.
In view of the great weight which the
Democratic delegation from this territory
had in the last national convention in the
selection of candidates for president and
vice president, and in view of the magni-
tuds of the interests involved in the COM
ing national convention and of the re-
curing possibility for the exercise of po-
tent influence by New Mexicos delega-
tion, particularly in silver's cause, the
Democrats in all counties are urged to
make their voice heard in the primaries
and in the county conventions to the end
that our territorial convention may be
alargely attended and representative
one, thus assuring the election of dele
tion to the national convention composed
of Democracy's strongest and truest sons.
This is vital year for silver's cause and
it is the hope of this committee that New
Mexico Democrats will take vital part,
beginning down at the primaries.
