CERTAIN DEFEAT FACES HIM,
Bat Bowel VIII Have His Ministry
COMPLETE by rTucsdnx

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 11-Sir Mac
kenzie Bowel has worked assidiouslv
at his task of recOnstructing his adj
lnlmstrauon, the craZy-quilt govern
ment, as it will be known in Canad-
ian history. The boiling ministers
have made use of every means at their
command to thwart him, but he will
probably meet parliament on Tues
day next with most of the gaps in the
cabinet filled. But Gov Chapleau. Of
Quebec, the strongest Conservative
French Canadian, has declined to
come to the rescue of Sir Mackenzie.
His salary is $4,000 a year, and. as his
term has three years to run he has
refused to abandon a certainty for an
uncertainty that is less lucrative by
S3O00 a year. Senators de Boucher
Vile and Mason, who are said to have
accepted nominations to the cabinet.
are not regarded as representative
men. The Ontario contingent seems
even weaker. William Smith, who is
mentioned as minister of agriculture.
is easily the strongest of the party.
w. A. Maclean is very minor politi-
clan, who is almost certain to be
beaten by the Liberal who will Cd
pose him when he goes back to his
constituency for reelection. Col. Tis-
dale, another man mentioned. is the
parliamentary agent of several large
corporations
prominent member of the Conserv-
alive party said tonight "When the
speech from the throne comes up the
Liberals will move that it be discussed
clause by clause. When the clause en-
bodylng the governments pledge to give
remedial legislation to Manitoba\is re-
ported, there will be a division nd on
this the government will be defeated.
SIR Mackenzie will ask for a dissolu-
ton and will appeal to the country.
The followers of the boilers, and. in
TACT, 9O per cent of the Protestant mem
Ders OF the commons, will vote against
the clause. Of the 241 members of the
commons there are only siXty-nine RO
man Catholics, so it is evident that the
government will be defeated on the
measure. If Sir Mackenzie Bowel de-
cldes to resign in place of going to the
country, he will recommend the COVER
nor general to ask Mr.. Laurier to form
a government"
A Liberal leader, when shown this
statement said: MY belief is that
there VIII be no argument to the sneech
from the throne. The anti-remediaI

of Richard Wagners most stupendous
creations. lima CINE the immortal "Iliad'
set to music by poet-composer, whose
muse is attended to the Tyre of the
blind Homer The union of passion and
song must perforce be Overwhelming.
The music of die Walkure" is the
music of mythology. 1t almost trans
cends the language of human melody.
1t throbs with the mighty impulses Of
puissant gods. 1t speaks the wild rev.
els, weird incantationS and mad frol-
les of supernatural beings. 1t conjures
indiscribab1e emotions.
The performance last night was fit

was in one respect the most brilliant of

who has a complete sympathy with the

PRESERVATION of 3runnhilde leave to be
desired? Could vocaliZation be more
effective, and could any human being
more wildly portray the agony OF
grief? From the time Frau Klfsky
sang the dramatic recitatiVe at the
opening of the second act, until She ut
tered the last note, the spectators were
completely lost in admiration OF her.
Herr Barron Berthald, who sang in
three performances here, acquitted

with thrilling effect in the first act,
which affords Siegmund great oppor-

nature of the character. Her singing
ives excellent.
Another admirable portrayal was
that contributed by Herr PopoV1cl,

GREAT WEEK IN MUSIC.
saegss-=G@ q ssessess~-ss

It is more than an echo Of music
that it's devotees in this city have just
s heard. If music could be pictured
and certainly Beethoven and Wagner
have made their glorious music visible,
as they have filed to overhowing ali
q ears-the vision revealed by the Dam
rosch Opera company during the past
week will prove a lasting one. 1t was
3 not mirage. 1t was an actually, a
beautiful, inspiring ideal revelation of
the vast possibilities of music, Of its
vital share in the emotions of the
: human heart. He who could hear it
without susceptibility to the concord
Of sweet sounds" must be fit for
3 ''treasons, stratagems and spoils.'
Considered apart from it's emotional
attributes-if music is other than the
deal expression of emotion-the in
depreciation of these grand works has
aXerted refining influence upon all
who drank Of the melodic fountain.
The musical especially have par
taken of a feast-a feast that refreshed
and inspired while it educated. These
people may have anticipated every
tone and every glorious chord, but to
hear these ineffable harmonies in con-
junction with the human action that
blends with them is an experience that
can never be effaced from the memory.
All this would not be true were the
Interpretation inadequate. AS ranting
e actors desecrate Shakespeare, so incom-
petent Vocalists and inStrumentalists
i would torture Wagner. But the inter
probation was faithful. More than that
t was brilliant. The Damrosch Opera

the rchestra-illumined the master
pieces of the immortal composers.
The theater-gOing public is indebted

opera house for the feast provided. On
The other hand, the management must
: De duly sensible of the encouraging and
enthusiastic patronage accorded by the
8 citizens of ST. Paul The brilliant sue
81 eess of the venture reflects credit upon
both. In this connection, I noted that
an evening paper gave space to an
l. article in which the Schubert club, a
most meritorious local musical organi-
tatlon, declares that it was chiefly in
Ornamental in bringing the Damrosch
opera company to st. Paul. In contra
diction of this statement, I was assured
s by Manager l.. n. Scott, of the Metro
politan, that he. as manager of that
theater secured the attraction without
~ tohCe VI intervention OF any
other institution or organization.
This afternoon Seibert's orchestra
will give the fifth concert of the Sc
z ries in Conover hall, and no programme
previously given this season compares
with that to be rendered today in va

The composers whose selections are
