GERMAN OPERA IN PHILADELPHIA.

Philadelphia. Feb. 20 (SpeciaD.-Walter DAM
rosch's German Opera Company gave the first OF a
series OF four performances here In the Academy OF
Music this evening The opera was Wagners TITS
tan und Isolde" and to the great disappointment OF
Mr. Damrosch. his friends and the admirers OF Wag-
ner. the audience was pitifuly small. The circum-
is accounted for by local musicoverS on the
ground that the Philadelphia public has been sur
feited with opera the Hinrichs Company having but
recently closed which lasted thirteen weeks,
during which time there were four representations
each week. The performances under Mr.. Hnrchs
were only mediocre and cost the public-spirted
citizens who are striving 10 establish opera IN the
city something resembling permanent basis. the
bulk Of their subscriptions 10 the guarantee fund;
but It Is said that they not discouraged and that
next season will witness continuation or the inter-
esting experiment.
For visiting New-Yorker the interest In to-
nights representation lay chiefly in the singing and
acting of Frau Klafsky Isolde. Mr. Alvary was
the Tristan or the occasion, and 1t is best to leave
to the imagination the violence which he did to the
ears OF those who have recently heard NJ. Jean de
Reszke IN the part. An adequate celebration OF the
merits Of Frau Klafsky, however. requires that
the pegs be set high. She Is dramatic singer or
tremendous emotional intensity and power Her
voice seems inexhaustibe and her musical Instincts
Mr. Alvary In the second act, she managed to keep
In tune with the orchestra and to Undue the love
the warmest admiration 1t was no fault OF hers
that the effect Of this exalted lyric episode was
chiefly painful, Tor Fraulen Murder, the representa-
tive OF Brangane, who. though she acted amateur
ishly, sang tunefuly throughout the irst act, io-
lowed Mr.. Avary into the realms of discord in her
''Wachted," and thanks to the two. there were
many minutes in which the muslc-iovers IN inc
audience blessed-or cursed-with discriminating
sense of hearing, were ready TO join with tristan IN
his expression of wish to die.
OF the others In the cast nothing need pc SAID
Mr.. Damrosch's orchestra Is composed OF admirable
material and has played together so long that II IS
IA delight to hear It. To-nights performance was
the 10st that has been given by the company since
1t began its peripatetc season There WI be three
more performances here, Die Walkdre' tomorrow
evening. "Tannhauser" on Saturday afternoon and
MIR Damrosch's Scarlet Letter" on Saturday even

ORIGIN AND POWERS OF THE UPPER HOUSE OF

ORIGIN AND POWERS OF THE UPPER HOUSE OF
THE LEGISLATURE
The eoca,led Senatorial crisis in France has at
tracted unusual attention 10 the Upper House OF the
French Congress which. most of the time Is Tar
less conspicuous In political matters than the Lower
House The two together are known as the Cham
hers But the Chamber Of Deputies Is invariably
spoken of as the Chamber, and one might almost be
pardoned, in ordinary times, for forgetting that
there was any other 1t will not do. however thus
TO forget the Senate. as current affairs show. Nor
will it do to imagine that it is a merely nominal
and perfunctory body like the British House OF
Lords. Far from it. 1t is very young body, com
pared with the House of Lords. But II has played
great part in the history OF the country, and now
ranks as fully equal In authority with the Chamber
Of Deputies
In order 10 understand the Importance OF the
Senate. 1t is only necessary point out that all
French legislative power Is vested In that body and
the Chamber OF Deputies The President of the Re-
public Is elected by the votes OF Senators and Depu
ties meeting as National Assembly. He is APP
pointed for seven years but Is eligible for re-elec-
ton at the expiration OF that period. II the Senate
so advises. the President OF the Republic dis
solve the Chamber OF Deputies before the legal ex-
piraton OF It's mandate. Together with the Cham
Der OF Deputies. the Senate has the privilege OF
making. II is provided however that all laws re-
latng to finance shall be In the first place submitted
10 the Chamber of Deputies and voted upon The
Senate has all the powers Of court of Justice can
SIT IN judgment upon either the President OF the
NepuDhc or members OF the Government, as we'll
as decide upon all matters relating to treason
Thus II will be that the Senate is as i,npor-
'sn' FACTOR IN the French Legislature as In that
