A Republican organ. in a eulogy on
the New York Ra.nes liquor tax BILL
which gives to the state one-third of
the county liquor TAX. SAYS. eft is as
slmed that with tho aid of the revenue
from this source the State will be able
to cet along without levying taxes on
real or personal property. which will
Dr. taxed by tho municipalities alone. 81"
And i1 that lies the vicious principle
OF che BILL 10 makes the cities pay the
taxes OF the counties. Tt is Platts
bride 90 the rural New Workers to stick
to the Republican party because it ex-
empts them from state taxation while
the Democratic cities are doubly taxed
for their benefit. The bin is thorough

The French ambassador. Baron de
Courcel had a long interview with
Lord Salisbury at the latter's residence
on Sunday. The conference is suppos-
ed to have dealt with the subject of the
Nile expedition. An official visit by an
ambassador on Sunday to the private
residence of the Prime Minister or
Minister of Foreign Affairs is an unusu-
al occurrence, and this leads to tho
supposition that the subject of Baron
de CourceTs call was an important one.

Sung In italian and French.
Signor Luigi Mancinelli, who. with Anton
Seidl and SiGnor Bevignani. will direct the or
chestra at the Metropolitan. arrived in this city
yesterday on the Ems, after an absence of ono
year from this country. SiGnor Mancinelli did
not return to America last winter, 1t was said
that he remained in Italy owing to the Illness of
his wife, ana he conducted . series OF Wagner
performances at the San Carlo Theatre in
Naples and completed his opera Hero and
Leander." which was given last month at Nor
witch in ~oratorio form. 1t was generally under
stood here that Signor Manoinelli did not
come back owing to the engagement of Anton
Seidl to conduct the Wagner opera last year.
Signor Mancinelli is enough of n Wagnerite to
have been affected by this arrangement, and he
decided to stay away Now tho question has
been settled by assigning to his direction all the
Wagner operas sung in French and Italian.
This gives him "Lohengrin.' "Tannhauser,"
and Die MeistersinGer." Herr Seidl will d.
rect the Wagner operas to be given in German,
and Isolde" and "siegfried." "Lohengrin ="
II spent last winter putting the finishing
given last month At Norwich in ]oratorio form.
/ went over to direct the performance. and 1t
proved n success. But it really is an opera and
should be sung In that form. Next spring l
Mime. Meiba viii. sing the part Of Hero. which
fell to Nine. Albani at Norwich. and ] am
hoping that Jean de Reszke may sing Ledndsr.
81 saw Verdi last summer and he told me
that he was not writing another opera aud
never expected to write any more. He said
that he was too old a man TO attempt q new
work and felt that the time had passed when he
could really produce a new creative work. He
is at work. though. on an o%ratorio. he does IL
more for his own pleasure and because he hates
TO be idle. ! don't know what the subject In. 1
am sure that he has no idea of writing another
ODara- and he told mo that the repOrtS of hia
being engaged on an operate version Of either
The Tempest or King Lear were untrue. He
says he will never write another opera. and l
believe that he means it."
Other passengers on the Ems were Mme.
EuGenia Mantelli and MN. Giuseppe Cremonini.
Antonio Ceppi. Lloyd D'Auoigne. Arimondi.
Vsnni. and Corci. The Italian chorus also ar
rived on the steamer, Signor Ceppi is the

Signor Tamagno's. and also to resemble him.
He is a very young mar and has never been
heard in this country.

The Court or Iaauiry BeEips IT'S Sessions
The Texas Not Booked Yet.

TIL court OF inquiry which is to examine into
the facts concerning the sinking of the battle
ship Texas convened at tho Brooklyn Navy Yard
yesterday afternoon. The President of tho court
is Commodore Howell of the Charlestown Navy
Yard, and tho other members OF the court are
Chief Engineer Duncan and Naval Constructor
Hanscom. Lieut.. Walling Is Judge Advocate.
The court was organized behind closed doors
and the sessions will be secret. They may con-
tlnue for three or fou days, but the findings OF
the court will not be known until they are made
public at Washington. Tho object of this court
is to examine into the facts of the case and to
martial OF one or more of the officers of tho ship.
The Texas sank in thirty feet of water Mon
day morning alongside of the Cob Dock In tho
Brooklyn Navy Yard. The sinking was caused
by the breaking or the yoke of tho valve OF the
main starboard injector, which caused n 49,
inch stream of water to pour into the COM
partmeut. The blame for this must he fixed,
for one thing. But what Is most important to
Capt. Glass of the. ship. is. whether the court
hnds that the bulkheads between the water.
they were, and II 30 Capt. Glass will be held Ic-
sponsible.
Capt. Glass and Lieut. Commander Kelley
appeared before the court yesterday afternoon
and gave a part OF their testimony. Tho greater
part OF the afternoon was spent in making u
II had been announced that the Texas would

so. and although the dock IL ready for lfer. 1t Is
said that she will not go in for several days.
The reason given FOR The delay is Tint she must
be liChtened OF 800 tons OF coal before She can
get on the sill of the dock. Men about the yard
laughed yesterday when they heard. this, for,
they say, the Texas. loaded, draws only twenty
two feet and at high tide there is twenty -Mine
feet OF water over the sill OF the dock.
These men say that the Navy Yard officials are
afraid of tile snip, and that IL wsuld not be II

MonAEXnAUEn,s r1oL1ys FOUND.
Had Been Pawned for 81 nm Hour After
Being Stolen, Worth 81, 800.

The two vioIins valued at So, 500 which were
stolen from Prof. Mollenhauer OF 90 East
forty-second street on Oct. 20. were found at
Aaron's pawn shop, at l0l Grand street, on
Saturday. The violins are a Guarnerius and q
Bernette, and in the case with them was u dia-
mond-tipped bow. The instruments were taken
while the Professor was giving a lesson. The
police were notified. but failed to find the
missing violins. A decoy ad vertsement was in
serted in tho papers announcing that a man
about to return to his HON in the West wanted
to purchase a violin OF ancient make. Neither
this nor the offered rev ard OF $50 got any clue
to the lost instruments. They were at last found
In Grand street, where they had been pawned
for 81 within An hour after they had been
stolen.
The joy Of tho Professor over the recovery Of
his treasures, ms he called them, is unbounded.
Besides the value OF the violins and the associ-
atoms attached TO them. an accident to the
Professors hand made II impossible for him to
play on any other instrument. Since they were
stolen the Professor has given no lessons to his
pupils. but this week violin strains flood tho
studio at 20 East Forty-second street while
pupils come and go as of old.

There Is n hint in his talk about II that he ex-

monologue in the variety shows abounds in bib
ulous Jokes and anecdotes, most of them OK
plotting his own experiences as n drinker. and
hardly any OF them points a moral on the side
of sobriety.
The National Alliance of Stage Employed, to
which belong nearly all the workmen employed
to handle scenery at the theatres In the large
cities, has resolved to boycott the work OF any
body not n member of the Protective Alliance
Of Scenic Painters. As some Of the best artists
