sOTrsA's LATEST MARCH.
"Stars aud Stripes Forever" Gets
Cordial Welcome.

The initial production In this city of JOIN
Philip Sousa's latest march at the Lafay.
ette Square Opera House last night was
the success Of the evening The new marcf
is styled The stars and Stripes Forever,
and was first produced at the Academy OF
Music, in Philadelphia, last Friday even
ing. Though not yet week old, this the
youngest child of the great march king
as it is styled by him, promises to be the
most popular he has ever conceived.
Mr.. Sousa was last night seen at the
residence of his mother, whom he is visit
ing while in the city, and expressed him
self as gratified with the manner in which
the march was received by the audience
Il am more than pleased with the success
that has attended its first production, he
said. Il believe in the march, and think
it is. perhaps, better developed than any Of
its predecessors.
1t was composed d asst November, W lille we
were crossing from the other side. and is
intended To convey the feeling of the home
ward-b bound Americans.
Most Americans are more strongly i'm
pressed with the grandeur of their native
country when they return from ramble in
some strange laad than when they are at
home. II is on the return voyage that the
patriotism swells, under the rapture Of the
moment, and the Stars and stripes For
ever was written under the press Of such
feelings"
The special feature of the new march
is It's melody, patriotic and martial, and
yet it does not infringe on any national
air. Mr. Sousa said last night that 1.-THE
main idea of the composition consists of
three original themes, representing three
sections OF the country, and these are
worked up so asto end with climax which
brings all three into prominence"
Now that the new march seems to be
out Of its swaddling clothes, so to speak,
Mr.. Sousa continued, 81 am putting
forth every effort on our music of the new
opera, The Bridal Act which is now al
most completed. Alfred Kleinis the author
OF the libretto, and he is now in London
trying TO obtain Marie Tempest to play the
principal part, The scene is laid in the
Gulf OF Naples, and on the Island OFT Capri
ut will probably be produced next fail,
and is practically complete at present, but
we are principally engaged now in look
ing out for the leading lady. Marie Temp
est has made a remarkable success in the
long run OF The Geisha,' in London, and
il is not certain she will consent to play the
part rendered her
Tie Sousa tour, So far this season has
covered a distance of 1900 miles, and
after 5000 miles more travel in about a
month, the season will end in Prince Ed
ward Island.

Beach, where the stars and Stripes
will be the piece de resistance during the

IL will be observed that Great Britain no
longer is recognized by the European pow
ers in the settlement of the Graeco- Turkish
war, and is not even mentioned in connec-
ton with it in the dispatches. Grea; Brit
aim, by arms aud diplomacy, has maintained
her right TO be counted as European pow
er for ages. Sometimes her position has
been dominant, sometimes only strong in
secondary capacity, but it always has been
more or less precarious, ever depending
upon divisions among the continental states
