II the Emperor's brothers.


The younger brother had, after the
first juvenile heats of radicalism. be-
come moderate republican, holding
his convictions resolutely. Having OPP

Mr. Joseffy played the second Brahm

the audience persisted in its applause.
Finally Mr. Damrosch, the conductor,
made as if to proceed with the pro-
gramme, but the audience kept up their
applause Mr. Damrosch waved his baton
and began the next number. The sounds
of the orchestra were drowned, howev-
er, by the noise Of the audience. Mr..
Damrosch then raped sharply upon his
desk, and the musicians and the audience
both became silent. He turned to the
audience and gave them sharp rebuke
for the manner in which they had con-
