Prof. FnnciulIi Upheld.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
trust that you will allow me to express,
through your columns my indignation,
which am sure is shared by the multitude
of cultivated readers of The Star, al the
unprecedented and monstrous affront Of
fered Professor Fanciulli in the military
parade of yesterday. 1 have no desire to
criticise the authorized actions of the pow
ers that be. but If every officer whose
prerogative is purely military Is at liberty
to direct or interrupt the program of the
musical feature on every occasion. of what
Character and dignity is the position of :he
organization, and what can he hope 70 &C
oomplish in his position? 1 do not know
the qualifio ations of the officer who so tn
warrantably, as I consider, rebuked Pro-
fessor Fanciulli Indeed, do not just now
recall his name) to direct musical per-
formers, but in common with all persons
who have any knowledge or respect fer
music and have seen Professor FanciulIi
even once direct the band through a per-
formance, 1 know him to be a most mas
terly musician and competent above any
other person 1 know of who has ever had
the position to fill 1t In a wholly musician
ly manner. In the interest of the establish
ment of good and true standard of mu-
sica! taste among us, therefore. I beg that
Professor Fanciullf will be upheld In his
reasonable and, indeed. absolutely neces-
sary claims. to be arbitrary (as much as
he may wish to be) in his position. 1 sub
init this in the behalf of art not personal
interest, as 1 have no acquaintance with
Professor Fanciulli, and he does not kno ~
OF my existence. MUSIC LOVER.

NET PROFIT STA 900, 900.

The New York Journal call:
attention to the fact that the ad'
journment of Congress leaves
President Mckinley in entire
control of the claims of the Gov.
eminent against the. Union Pa
cific Railroad. The situation
which confronts him grows out
of President Cleveland's agree
ment, made shortly after the
failure of the Funding bills las
spring, to foreclose the Govern
ment's mortgages and dispose OF
all the property included in the
Governments claim of S68, 900,
900 for $40, 100000 to the Reor-
ganization Committee of the IN
ion Pacific. Nothing has been
done in the extra session of Con-
gress to defeat this arrangement.
A resolution was pressed in the
Senate requesting the President
to suspend the foreclosure pro-
ceedings until the merits of the
bargain could be investigated,
but it was defeated--as every
proposition defending the rights
of the people against the en-
croachments of powerful finan-
cial interests has been defeated
in this Congress.
The bargain which Mr.. Cleve-
land negotiated is easily anal
yzed. The Government surren-
ders a claim of S69,0OO, 900 for
$40, OO0,000 losing thus outright
for its folly in becoming junior
partner in a railroad enterprise
S23, 100000. This is bad enough,
but is there a semblance of
equity in the bargain ? Do the
purchasers pay fair price ? Let
US see
For its S45, 100000 the Reor-
ganization Committee gets ST.
100000 cash now in the sinking
fund to the credit of the road.
The actual cash bid, therefore,
is only S28,000,O00. For this it
real estate, including
coal lands in Wyoming, valued
at 100000, and a railroad
which in dull times has been
S5,OOO,OO0 a year, or 4
pei cent on S125, 100000. 1t is
true that the road will still be en-
numbered by S34,OO0,00O first
mortgage bonds. Yet even this
debt added to the S28,OO0,0O0i
cash paid the United States will
make the whole property cost the
Reorganization Committee only

That they think it worth more
S fairly indicated by their finan-
