THE MAENNERCH0R'S CONCERT.

Miss GoIdb erE's Songs.

A large and enthusiastic audience filled
the Maennerchor Hall last night to listen
to the first of the series of concerts to be
given there this winter. Louis Ehrgott OF
Cincinnati, was the leader and pleased
every one by his mastery style of directing.
1t is the unanimous opinion of the chorus
that Mr.. Ehrgott is thoroughly in touch
with those he is directing The programme
rendered was as follows

The first number was received with great
count of the length of the programme and
the lateness Of the hour. Mr.. McGijeny
played Wieniawski's "Polonaise Brilliante''
with his usual finish. The singing Of Mr.
ED Nell of German songs was excellent and
added materially to the pleasure of the
evening. Miss Rebecca Goldberg. the next
performer on the programme, is from Gin
cinnat and is a pupil of Mr.. Louis Ehr-
gott. She is Il young lady, hardly twenty
years old. She has voice of large COM
pass and great fiexibility and her singing
showed that she had carefully cultivated
1t, her staccato being especially fine Her
rendition OF Proch's "Variationen" fully
justified Mr.. Ehrgott in his opinion that
she is fully capable of singing the most diff
floult roles. She received an encore to which
she responded
In the mixed chorus the ladies' voices
were heard to great advantage. The two
choruses that were sung just after the in
PERMISSION were well received and brought
an encore. While Miss Goldberg's last two
songs were not as difficult as her first. she
SANG them in way to call down the house
with a tumuit of applause Mr.. McGibeny's
closing numbers and the final song by the
mixed chorus were responded to with fully
as much enthusiasm as the opening pieces.
The audience was critical yet appreciative
one. After the concert was finished the
hall was cleared and the dancing began.

SPANISH CABINET MEETING.
1t Discusses Autonomy for Cuba and
Strikes a Thrift SnnC.

Strikes Tariff Snng.
MADRID, Nov. 22.-The new Cuban tariff
is the subject of considerable heated discus
sion here at present, The Cuban reform
lists have published a manifesto claiming
for the Cubans the right to establish their
own tariff, on the ground that the tobacco
monopoly prevents commercial reciprocity
between Spain and Cuba. The protectonists
reply that the government must not re-
nounce the right to intervene in Cuban
tariff matters, pointing out that the Spanish
producers have to pay the majority of the
Cuban debts, while they obtain no adj
vantages in return. Opinion on the SUBJ
ject is generally divided.
A Catalan delegation had an hours con-
ference with the minister of the colonies
Senior Moret, to-day in which they protest.
ed against the Cuban tariff being made
autonomous. AS this dispatch is sent, the
Cabinet which met at 5 clock this after
noon, is still in session, and it is rumored
that there are dissensions among the min
listers The Commercial Union of Madrid
The Cabinet council came to an end at
$50 this evening. According to an official
communication ii appears that General Cor
rea, minister OF war, reported to his col
leagues that beyond General Weylers pro-
nouncement printed in the Havana Gazette
the retiring governor general OF Cuba,
WHen receiving QepulallOnS just pTlOf 10 MS
departure, confined himself to advising ell
classes to show their respect for the de-
cisions of the constituted government.
The council then proceeded to discuss,
article by article Senior Moret's projects of
autonomy for Cuba and Porto Rico approx
ing all except the article dealing with tar
ifls. Senior Moret described the interviews
he had had earlier in the day with the
Catalan delegations, and as result of this
statement the council decided to postpone
the discussion of the article of the tariffs
until tomorrow.

The Apples win Not Cook.

AdHStS lily JOufndl.
A peculiar feature of the apples grown in
this section the past season is that they
Will not cook properly. Many housewife
has been surprised that the best varieties
of cooking apples cannot be cooked as
usual They are tough and stringy and
when sliced for cooking retain their shape.
no matter how long they may be kent on
the stove, instead of cooking TO pieces" as
they should Grocers and. applemSn have
been flooded with complaints about the APP
pies they sell.
The unusual condition of the fruit, ex-
planned an old apple grower and handler
yesterday. is due to the dry weather that
came just when the fruit was filling and
maturing. The formation OF the apples is
the best, few of them are faulty. and nearly
all are of good size and sound. They are
deceitful In appearance. The fruitman says
the condition is not new one. but is al
ways met with under similar circumstances.
The dry weather decreases the earth's sup
ply OF the sources of strength and nourish-
mcnt for the tree. and the crop being heavy
and nourishment short, the fruit is stunted
IN its growth While the fruit is of the
proper size and fair in appearance the quail
ity was interfered with by the droIth and
tho ripening process was not naturally COM
pleted. The lack OF nourishment also left
the fruit coarser than II would have been.

our officials to inaction while murder has
been done the insincerity of rulers in
venting special pleas to cover their treach-
cry to national duty. the open

act of grace to brutal Spain, and making
us her ally against those following our his

to the Wounding of national pride, and to

The Western Passenger Rate War.


There were no developments in the Chi
cago-St. Paul rate war yesterday. The
general passenger agents have decided that
It is beyond them to settle the difficulty and
have referred the entire matter to their ex-
ecutive officers, who will meet in a short
time to consider what is best to be done.
There is u strong opinion that the rates
will go lower before any agreement is
reached for the reason that the weaker
lines insist on more concessions than they
are receiving at the present time There is
u fear among the Western roads that If the
present decentralization is kept up much
longer some one of the weaker roads will
make a demand for differential rate on
business between Chicago and Minneapolis
and ST. Paul. This is certain TO start big
fight, for the reason that all of the Western
roads have been opposed TO differentials
and will make a hard argument before they
grant 1t to any of their weaker competitors.
Not all of the so-called weaker roads will
accept a ditferential if it is offered them,
and have already announced that they pre-
fer some other way Of securing their bust
ness This will make the row all the more
difficult of settlement.

CUTS OFF THE SCALPERS
IMPORTANCE OF AGREEMENT REGU-
LATING IMMIGRANT FARES.
Chicago Roads Disappointed Over
Failure of Excess Fare on st.
Louis Lines--GeneFaI Notes.

In passenger circles the agreement en-
tered into last week between the railways
and Atlantic steamship companies for the
regulation of immigrant fares is considered
the most far-reaching of any combination
OF the kind yet organized as it includes not
only the transatlantic steamship companies
but the coastwise lines as far south as the
Gulf of Mexico and north to Halifax, rem
dering 1t impossible, If the railway com
panies and steamship lines live up to the
eagreement, to demora!ize rates, as has
been the case from this source in years
past Not only are the trunk lines, the
Central Traffic Association lines and the
Western Passenger Association lines parties
to the agreement, but the transcontnental
lines. Only the ticket scaipers are left out,
and what is better, the Canadian Pacific
and the Southern Pacific which have been
the chief disturbers, and have operated the
most extensively with the scalpers, have
signed the agreement. This agreement
covers all weak places relative to immi-
grant transportation, and now that the
interchangeable mileage is in use in Cen
trail Traffic Association territory and the
Sebastian ticket in Western Passenger AS
ISOLATION territory, the ticket scalpers' last
and chief source of revenue is cut off. The
initiative step was taken many months ago
by the Western Passenger Association, and
as this association usually lives up to agree
ments 1t is believed that the vexatous
question how to prevent decentralization in
rates through the abuse OF immigrant
tickets mas been removed. All things con-
sldered, one Of the best paying features of
the passenger traffic is its immigrant bust
ness, as they ride in common coaches, and
this class OF travel does not care whether
the trains are fast or slow.

A break is imminent between Governor
Leedy and Attorney General Boyle over
the appointment of the Fort Scott police
board. Fort Scott is Boyle's old home
and he supposed that he would have some
thing to say as to who the police commits
sioners there would be. He spent three
days at home last week fixing up things
and after arranging everything satisfac-
torily he returned and recommended the
appointment of a certain set. He was par
ticularly anxious for w. D. Lowery to be
named as one member. Leedy snubbed
Boyle by not only refusing to appoint his
set but by naming crowd that has al
ways opposed the attorney general in all
political deals. The Tiffany crowd won

the affair and threaten to fight the con-
ffrmation of the appointees in the senate

judge.

matter under advisement until Tomorrow
when he will appoint u board for that
place.
