NEXT SEASONS OPERA.
Maurice Grau Opens His B~udGet-van Dyck
the New Tesor-De ResIkes Coming.


Maurice Grau arrived in New York yesterday
to settle up some of the affairs of the fremont
Street Theatre in Boston and confer with some
of the directors of the Metropolitan Opera
House with regard to next years season. Mr..
Grau, who came on La Touraine, went yester.
day afternoon to the Opera House, and was
cordially greeted by many persons who were
at the Sembrich concert. He will remain in
New York about ten days. He said to a Sun
reporter:
II shall come back with the De Reszkes and
many of the former singers. including all those
who have been most popular here during past
with me. and l believe that she will be one of
the company, Ernst Van Dyck of Vienna. will be
the new tenor. and he will appear in the same
roles that Jean de Reszke sings. He will sing
in addition the tenor parts Of Die Walknre'
and 'Sapho,' which will be given with Mile.
Caive in her original role. She will also make
her debut as u Wagnerian singer, and will be
heard as !Sentd in The Flying Dutchman.' The
entire Nibelungen tetralogy will DO sung, and
S Goits as Kes1as wi9 a RRossibi for The f shali time er In
sent Ernst Reyer's .Salammbo.' That will be
for the sake OF giving n novelty. The 'Bohemo'
of Puccini Is not adapted to such a large thea
tire as the Metropolitan, and l am afraid that
'Sapho' may not be.
II went to n number Of German cities in the
hope OF finding new works that would be worth
while presenting, bur l did not find them. The
presented than 1t ever was before in New York,
and l may make that the feature Of the season.
The same course will be followed next year ut
Covent Garden
Mr.. Grau, who has left his family at his home
In Paris, is in better health than when he left
this country and Is much stouter.

SIX ESKIMOS WITH COLDS.
PEhRY,s LITTLE BAND All TAKEN
TO BELLETUE HOSPITAL.

Rer.re. ana Don't Like It n nit New.
Lieut.. Peary's six Eskimos. who were left at
the American Museum OF Natural History
by the Arctic explorer, were sent to Belle
vue Hospital last night in a serious physi.
cal condition. Ono OF them has pneumonia
and the five others have bad attacks
of bronchitis. Coughs and colds are
entirely new Affections for Eskimos, as in their
own country they are not subject to troubles OF
the kind. This fact has put the doctors all at
sea in their Judgment OF the progress the
disease may make. but the condition OF Aughar,
the woman in the band, who already hos pneu-
monia, is considered very dangerous.
Ever since the Eskimos have been in the
United States they have been wearing the gar
ments OF the country, save when they were put
on exhibition. They were then clad in their
native furs, and perspirod profusely. Even in
the clothing VIC wear. however. the Eskimos
found 1t intensely warm. They often became
overheated, and then to cool of took chances
that would probably have laid any one up.
They have been living in the basement of the
Museum OF Natural History building in the care
of Superintendent Wallace. Their interpreter,
Mat Hansen, who was one of Peary's comrades
on his expeditions. has been with them, but he
has found them difficult charges. A week
ago they all commenced coughing. The
elder ones in the band were the worst
sufferers. Aughar, the woman, and Mookpur,
the oldest of the men, suffered a great deal and
became much depressed. They couldn't under
stand what was the matter with them. They
talked to Mat about II, hut he couldn't explain
It,. The only coughs they had ever known any
thing about followed the shaking out OF u dry
bearskin in their huts, when the dust would
stick In their throats.
This continual hack. hack, hack was alto.
gcther too much for their good nature and they
made Mats life very miserable. They told him
that he was to blame for their kO-shup.to, as
they called their Illness.
Mat reported the sickness of his charges to
Superintendent Wallace, and physicians were
called in. Tho Eskimos steadily grew worse,
however, and Yesterday it was deemed best to
send them 10 a hospital. Two ambulances were
summoned from Bellevue Hospital. and tho pm
tients were taken there. Aughnr was so III that
she had to be carried on a stretcher. The others
were able to walk. but they were n mighty
sorry looking lot. They have fallen away since
coming to New York, and their American gar
ments hung on them like bags. Their coughing
was incessant.
Aughar and her twclve.year.old daughter,
Ahwhar. were put in the women's ward. while
Mookpur Whuher and Russian, the two young
men. and Menney, the tcn-year-old boy, were
sont to the mems wards. Superintendent Muir.

they would receive special attention. TIE doc

Collector Warren has decided that
calf skins are free. He may be turn
ed down by the department in his
decision, but he gave orders recently
to admit calf skins free of duty. This
was one of the knotty problems that
has given collectors all over the coun-
try so much trouble. Under the new
act hides are duitiable 10 per cent ad
valorem. The question then arose,
SIS calf skin hide?" Summoning
his deputies to his private Office, the
collector went into executive session
with them. The dictionary was con-
suited and the general appraisers
rulings were looked over. The latter
officials, it was found, had generally
ruled that the hide of any small do
nestle four-legged animal was alsikn,
and SO it was decided that a calf skin
was not a hide, and was. therefore,
entitled to be admitted free. This
decision of the collector means thou
sands of dollars in the pockets of the
shoe manufacturers of New England,
as thousands of calf skins are i'm
ported for the finer grades of shoes.

ExQueen Liliuokalani called at the
White House recently and was re-
ceived by President Mckinley. Her
secretary, Mr.. Palmer, who had call
ed on Secretary Porter several days
ago, had received assurance that the
ex-Queen would be accorded pri-
vate audience, but when she present
ed herself this afternoon with her at
PENDANTS she was informed that the
President, owing to the press of bust
ness, would be unable to accord her a
special audience, but would be pleas
ed to receive her at the close of the
public reception. She made no OBJ
lection to this arrangement, and she
and the members of her party took
seats in one corner of the east room
while the public reception was going
on.
When the last of the visitors had
gone the President and the exQueen
advanced, meeting midway in the
room. LiliIokalani began the con-
versation, and spoke as if she had a
prepared speech to make. The Pres
ident nodded his head once in while
and made occasional replies in mon
osyllables. The ex-Queen expressed
her opposition to the treaty of annex
alton, and the President promised to
give her objections consideration. At
the conclusion of the interview Mr..

a most courtly bow as he retired from

1t is reported that Japan is increas-
ing her navy as fast as possible and
that she has placed several orders for
war vessels in England. This may be
true and yet Japan may not have any
intention of going to war with this
country over the Hawaiian Islands
If our sea coasts were a little bet
ter protected and we had a few more
of the vessels, now being constructed
ready for us, there would not be
much danger of trouble with Japan
or Spain. The best time to shingle a
house is before it commences to rain,
and the best time to prepare for war
is before the war begins Whether
there is any chance for trouble ahead
CT us or not, it would not be bad
plan to get ready for it and then we
will not be caught mapping.

Senior Luis Paz, the first Minister
Plenipotentiary ever accredited to
the United States from Bolivia, is now
in Washington awaiting his official
reception by the President. In speak
ing of the conditions in his own coun-
try, Senior Paz said:
"We have young man just elected
to the presidency of Bolivia and he is
a great admirer of your country. He
is President Alonzo, and he sent me
here to study your railroads., which,
he thinks, are the finest in the world.
I want to show capitalists and immi
grants what grand country we have
and try to interest them in it. We
have just passed laws making it easy
for immigrants to come to our coun-
try.
II see just now that your people
are very much excited over the dis
covery of gold in the KlondiKe re-
gion. We have more gold in Bolivia
than they have in Klondike, and you
don't have to freeze or starve to
death in our country. There is not a
stream in all Bolivia where gold can
not be washed out. With modern
mining machinery there are vast
quantities of the precious metal to be
had. 1t is to interest capitalists here
in our gold possibilities that I came.
zone of the greatest opportunities
to men of small means is offered to
them in the development of the rub
Der and cocoa leaf industry. Many
come among us to mine gold and
when they see the chances offered by
the rubber fields they never go near
the mines, but at once engage in rub
Der. Since the passage of our recent
laws any person can stake out a grove
of rubber trees and it belongs to him.

RETURN OF PROSPERITY.

Comptroller of the Currency Eckels
is believer in the return of pros
perity. He thinks it is now at hand.
In statement given out by him he
says:
81 am confident that whatever
change now occurs in the business
conditions of the country will be for
the better. Some time ago we reach
ed point in our financial depres-
sion where further decline seemed
impossible. Then came period of
dead level, and now, however slow
the progress made, it is certainly on
the up grade. AS long as it was de-
termined by those responsible for the
governmental affairs that there
should be complete revision of the
tariff, I think it was wise to have a
session of Congress to make that re-
vision at the earliest practical mo-
ment. Whatever may be the merits
or dement's of the new act, the fact
that it's passage establishes the law
upon the subject is settled, which at
oAAAO OAAhO 10 AOol1J OH OOA UoAO
to the business world. With the basis
upon which manufacturing and trade
can be carried on settled, there will of
necessity be a revival in many
branches, the effect of which will be
felt in all.
Then, too, the evidences of unusual
crops, with apparently guaranteed
good prices and markets, must tend
to aid in Improvement of financial
conditions. The agriculturist here is
given an additional market by the
failure of the wheat crop abroad.
Such state of improvement is re-
fiected in the increased earnings of
the 'grangers' railroads in the West.
All this, of course, means something
to all who are connected, either di-
rectly or indirectly, with these great
interests.

Gen. Gallieni, the French COM
mander in Madagascar, has expelled
an English missionary named Hall
from the island, claiming that the
conduct of the minister was such as
to cause spirit of revolt among the
natives. If Gen. Gallieni does not
look out he will find himself in troub-
lie. Although it is true that the
French threw our former cons ul
there into prison on the same charges
without anything more than remon-
STRANGE from this country, yet he will
find that he has tackled a citizen
from different country this time,
and after England has intimated that
the missionary should be released, if
he is not soon freed an English feet
will appear upon the scene, and then
France will be likely to think that
Gen. Gallieni was rather nasty in
tackling a British subject and will
intimate as much to him.

Russian peasants are peculiarly sus-
ceptible to the temptation to drink.
The popular intoxicant in that country
is made of rye and is known as Uodkd.
In many localities this poisonous fluid
has obtained such control, that not
only have the n,o1iks been pauperized
as respects money, but they have also
mortgaged and lost their farms and
homes. To check this serious evil the
Government undertook, a year ago,
to control the sale of Uodka in certain
provinces. The experiment proved
so successful that, beginning next
January, the system ofcontrol will be
extended to populous Poland and the
saloons or dlspensaries will be run by
Government agents.

To Control Boulevard

arrangement IS one which may be
adopted to advantage by any town hav-
ing one street which is used by cyclists
and pleasure drivers because of it's
marked superiority to the other thor
oughfares.
There is an ordinance which requires
trucks and business vehicles to keep to
the right near the curb on the western
Boulevard and wheelmen and light
pleasure vehicles to keep to the center
Of the thoroughfare, leaving the ex-
treme inside for the car tracks.
The solution Of the problem seems to
have been reached by General G. Fl. T.
Coils, commissioner of public works
He has ordered 20 elaborate signboards,
which he has placed at different inter
walls on both sides of the Boulevard.
The signs are suspended from an up
right column with ansarm. 1t extends
out at right angle Sover the roadway
at an elevation of Is feet. From the
arm is suspended sign reading as fol-
lows:
Pleasure traffic keep over to the left.
Business traffic keep over to the curb .
On the rear of the sign is the follow
ing notice:
''Stop! Cross to the other side
The latter notice calls the attention
of drivers or wheelmen who are on the
wrong side of the E99d to that fact. and
warns them that they must turn over 10
the other side at the next corner.
