CHICAGO, March 14.-An immense
crowd gathered in front OF North Side
Turner hall, attracted thither by the
sight of a dozen police officers rushing
up the stairs to the hall, waving clubs
and revolvers From inside the build
ing came the sound of red war AND
carnage. Shrieks in a high soprano
key sounded above the noise of rapid
firing and gave the impression that a
massacre of helpless women and child
rem was going on. A red hot anarchist
rally was also suggested as the cause
of the fearful sounds, and the crowd
drew back to a safe distance to await
the outcome of the excited collision be-
tween the supposed destroyers and the
preservers of law and order. The at
lacking party burst in the door lead
ing to the hall, the officers stumbling
over one another in their commendable
efforts to see which one would first ar
rive on the scene of battle.
Their ambition was brought to an
untimely end, however, when instead of
finding their lives in imminent peril,
the now chagrined custodians of the
peace pulled up short before Adolph
Rosenbecker's big orchestra. The heart
thrilling sound of battle emanating
from the building was found to be
merely the orchestra's faithful inter
probation of Tschigokowsky's overture
1872" describing the war between
Russia and France.
The blue coats, upon seeing what was
taking place, fell over one another in a
precipitate retreat, the crowd dispersed
and the band played on.
CHICAGO, March 14-Muaicians of
the Apollo club of Chicago and the
great choral societies of st. Louis,
Cleveland. Ann Arbor, Louisville, Mil
waukee and Oberlin are leagued to-
gether in the service of music. Repre-
sentatives from these cities met With
leaders of the Apollo club yesterday in
the Union League club and formed the
Western Choral union.
The new association is designed 10
bring into harmony work in oratorio
production the first choral societies of
the cities west of Pittsburg.

B. Rice, Oberlin; A. A. Stanley, Ann
Arbor; j. R. Williams, Hugh McKit-
trick and A A Markham, st. Louis;
William P Rogers, Milwaukee.
The work in cratorio done in the past
by the Apollo club of this city brought
to the attention of President Huertley
of the Apollo club the still greater work
which it was possible to do if the vari-
Gus choral societies of the west would
work in harmony with each other as to
dates on which their concerts are held,
mutually engaging soloists, and fur
Their, as to making a concerted effort to
secure from all parts of the world, as
soon as published. the latest produc,
tions of composers.
The delegates, upon returning to their
homes, will Immediately report to their
clubs the action and ask for the cleo
ton of permanent members of the as
ISOLATION. Each choral club will be en-
titled to have one representative in the
Western Choral association and it is
believed eleven clubs will join the asso-
citation at the start and that perma-
nent organization will be completed in
