Schubert and the "Erlking.'

It was as natural for Franz Schubert
to create music as 1T is for a bird TO
sing. He did it with the same fresh
ness and spOntaneity, the same I'M
conscious grace. From the $50 songs,
the masses, the operas and symphonies
of this period, one work of Schubert's
stands out in all it's glory One gloomy
winters day a friend found him in one
of the narrow rooms Of his fathers
house pacing the floor in great excite
merit. He had been reading Goedhe's
"ENll1ing,'' and it's weird beauty appeal
ed to him with irresisting power. His
ina gfnaItion was all on fire. He was
with the terrified child; he could hear
the tramp of the horses feet: he could
hear the caressing voice of the phan-
tom, the soothing voice of the father i'm
answer. The whole SCENE of this might
ride Through the lonely forest became
so vivid that he seized paper and pen
Gil, and With feverish haste the immor-
tai poem was set to Immortal music.
Albert B. Bach has but recently told
for the first time the story of Schu-
bert's taking the song to show it to his
former schoolmates, how they flOcked
in, how he played the accompaniment
for Randhartinger, how Randhartinger
had to sing ii over and over, and how
the SMILING composer was rewarded by
numerous presents of music paper on
which to write more of this marvellous
music which thrilled by it's dramatic
intensity and opened Quit amending Wis

WESTERN IMMIGRANT TRAFFIC.
The Advisory Boards Plan to Equal
ize Commissions,

CHICAGO, Jan 23-The Advisory
Board Of Western Immigrant Clearing
house has decided to submit a resolu-
ton to all the interested roads, provid-
ing for the payment by the commits
sion which trunk line and general pas
senger company lines refuse to pay on
immigration business via st. Louis and
Chicago. The Joint Tariff Association
VIII not allow any commissions to be
paid, and this plan Is adopted as the
only way to equalize commissions COM
pared with those paid by the Southern
Pacific and other lines for business via
New Orleans.
The arrangement made by the trans
continental roads for division Of the
Christian Endeavor business going by
the San Francisco convention is not
satisfactory to the officials of the So
ciety who have charge of the conyen-
ton, because II spoils their opportunity
to get many special favors and con-
cessions from the roads for themselves.
In former conventions it is said much
of the expense of the society and off,
ers individually had been borne by the
roads being played against each other.
1t was reported to-day that those in
charge OF the convention arrangements

CRUISER DETROIT.
The Warship to Hereafter Form a
Part of the North Atlantic Fleet.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-The Navy
Department finally admitted to-day
that the cruiser Detroit, now on the
China station, would leave for home
about February 9th, to New York via
Suez canal. lit has been known for
some time that the ship has been COM
ing home, and it has been understood
that she has not been ordered direct
across the Pacific to San Francisco, as
usual, but that the officers and men
who have been exposed to the ravages
of the bubonic plague will sail along
the Asiatic coast, making absolutely es-
sential stops for coal at East Indian
ports. including those of the Red Sea.
where healthy conditions never exist
This created establishment in official
circles. The orders to the Detroit were
issued before the extent of the plague
was realized, having gone forward by
mail and i'm explanation of the fact that
the ship is ordered over 1900, instead
of 1000 miles to San Francisco, it is
said that the Detroit is needed for the
North Atlantic fleet, and the Suez canal
is the shorter route to New York.

ORIENTAL ADVlCES.
A TERRIBLE CATASTROPHE OC-
Ours AT kWANGTOW.
Fire Breaks Out During Performance
at the Temple, and Three Hum
dred People Perish.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.-Hong-
kong papers per steamship Gaelic con-
tain the following: Advices from Foo
Chow report a terrible catastrophe in a
temple at Kwangtow, December Sth. A
theatrical performance was held in the
place, and was attended by a large
crowd and a few Europeans. Many
women and children We're present. OF
the three entrances to the temple the
large central door was closed. A lamp
hanging in the temple was accidentally
broken and set the place inside on fire.
The crowd. panic stricken, tried to force
doors, which soon got so choked there
was no means of egress. 1t is said quite
800 must have persisted. OF the forty
actors only four escaped.
The steamship Gaelic brings the fol-
lowing advices from Shanghai: On De-
cember 18th a diabolical case of at
tempted poisoning was brought before
the mixed court, when a Chinese cook
on the British bark Omega was ar
raigned for attempting to poison the
master-mate, two European passengers
and the Chinese carpenter. The Omega
was at New Chwang in July last. when
the offense was committed She had on
board two light keepers, Messrs. Drew
EFT and Fisher, who We're being trans
ferred from one station to another.
When off New Chwang Captain Sven
sen was seized with violent fits of
vomiting and excruciating internal
pains. The mate, Drewett and Fisher
were also seized in the same way, and
the carpenter complained of severe in
ternal pains.
Suspicion fell on the cook, who had
melted the rest of the crew to follow in
subordination. There was little doubt
in the minds Of the Europeans that they
had been poisoned. and the more inqui-
ries were made the blacker became the
suspicion against the cook. Finally it
was discovered that when he mixed the
coffee he introduced a deadly poison. d
bean largely used for destroying super
fluous dogs. Captain Svensen explained
that the delay in bringing the charge
arose through his being unable to leave
his shin

BRIGHAM CALLS UPON M'KINLEY.
TRUSTS HE WILL BE RENDERED
A CABINET PLACE.
No One, SO Far, Asked to Accept the
Secretaryship of the Treasury,
Notwithstanding Reports.

CANTON (O.), Jan. 23.-J H. Brig
ham of Ohio, who has frequently been
mentioned in connection with the posi-
ton of Secretary of Agriculture, called
on the President elect to-day and dis
cused the situation with him. To the
correspondent Of the United Associated
Presses Mr.. Brigham said:

| trust favorably''
Would not the fact that Ohio has one
representative in the Ca binet filling the
most important place in that body pre-
Vent your appointment" was asked.
Not necessarily" answered Mr.
Brigham. Il am supported by the
strong Endorsement of the State and by
the National Grange My appointment
TO the Cabinet would not be State mat
ter. It would be made on national
lines
The chances are, however that Ohio
Will NOT have more than one place in
the Cabinet, though it is possible Colonel
Brigham may be offered the position of
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Notwithstanding all that has been
said about the reported tender of a Cab
met portfolio to Lyman J. Gage of Chi
cago, it can be positively answered that
nobody has been asked to accept the
Treasury portfolio. The President elect
holds Mr.. Gage in high esteem, and has
doubtless asked some of his friends to
quietly ascertain whether Mr.. Gage
would be in a position to go into the
Cabinet If invited. This does not mean
that he has been or Will be rendered a
portfolio, but that he is under favorable
consideration along with others.

One fact should not be lost sight
of, and that is that thousands upon
thousands of our people have invested
their savings in the junior securities Of
the system in the 100000 of stock,
because the Government was interested
with them and would protect the prop
erty. They put it in the company as
others put money in the savings bank.
They will lose all they have and what
ever they might pay in to save it if
the Government is completely diSinter-
ested.
Now this question is not settled,
and is going over to the next Admins
tration. We have had assurances from
the highest officials that the Govern
ment would continue it's protection, and
unless it does SO do the company may
not be reorganized for years. With the
Government in it, an assessment of $40
