GOUNOD,S ST.IrEuEN
Society Will Continue to Take Subscrip-
 tiOns.


 Considerable interest is being mani fested among music loving citizens as to the fate of the annual entertainment by the Gounod society. There seems to be some doubt as to whether or not it will be given this year.
 At last nights rehearsal the follow ing notice was read by the secretary in the absence of the president, MT. c. s. DeForest, and of the vice president, Mir. Joseph Porter, both of whom are kept indoors by illness:
 The subscription lists will remain open at the music stores and at Judd's bookstore until Thursday noon of this week. The directors will meet on Thursday evening and decide whether the number of tickets subscribed for Will warrant the giving of the concert or not. If an affirmative decision is reached the rehearsals will continue and a date be announced for the con- cert. If it is decided not to give the concert, rehearsals will, of course, cease TOT the season, with this one. It is probable that business meeting of the entire society would then be called lat CT to see what steps could be taken to- ward effecting a reorganization. Due mo- tice of the decision of the directors will be given to the society drought the medium of the newspapers on Friday next"
 While the notice did not cause a sur prise to the society it aroused much dis cussion led by MT. Agramonte, the con- ductor. He in very strong language deplored the possible necessity of doing the elventh season of the society's work without a public performance which eventuality characterized as shame and disgrace to New Haven. As an al iteration he proposed that the society lay the work they are at present study ing-Saint Saens' Samson and Deli lah''-aside for the present. and take up in it's stead either Zuch's Mass" or Gounod's 'Mors ct Vita,' with a view to giving a public performance of one of these great works without the ac- compartment. The cost of presenting it would be much less than in the case of Samson and Delilah,'' and the financial success he felt confident would be as assured as the artistic success. This plan evidently met with the ap- prova1 of the society, the members in formally voting to authorize two of their number to confer with the direc- tors and urge upon them it's feasibility. The final decision by the directors to be made on Thursday will be watched by the society with the keenest inter est

NET GUARDIAN OF THE TREAsURY.
Secretary Elect Gage Hopes Soon to Mas

Secretary Elect Gage Hopes Soon to Mas
 ter the Duties of His New Position,
 Washington, March 1.-Lyman J.. Gage arrived here this morning. He was asked if he had formulated any policy as to his conduct of the treasury, to which he replied that he was study ing the matter up, but had nothing to say as to his policy. Continuing, he said:
 During my sojourn at Hot Springs, removed as I was from disturbing in- fluences, I improved my time by mak- ing a thorough study and also tried to acquaint myself with all the Va rious duties of the office with which have been honored. I find that the management of the treasury is not so very dissimilar to the banking business to which I have been accustomed. I hope, therefore, in a short time fully to master the business of the department and then perhaps 1 can give clearer ex- pression to my future policy"

GREER CABINET MEETS,
Prime Minister Delyannis Makes Patr-
 Otic Speech.

OtiC Speech.
 Athens, March 1-The Boule, the sin gle parliamentary chamber of Greece, met to-day. Nearly all of the members were present and the gallery of the chamber was filled with visitors. There was an air of suppressed excitement and all the patriotic references of the speakers were applauded.
 Premier Delyansis said he had re- ceived positive information that the fighting at Alcotori, which had induced the bombardment of the Christians po- .sition by the foreign warships, was pro- voked by the Turks
 M. Levides, minister of marine, read the joint note from the admirals of the foreign fleets forbidding the Greek ships or troops to attack the Turks.
 This caused great excitement and Depunty Seals declared that the reply to the note ought to contain a declara- ton of war.
 M. Delyansis denounced the lombard ment of the Christians as savage, inn pious and unjust. He said that the blockade of Crete by the powers was inexplicable from the view point of in ternational law. Greece, he added, had instructed her representatives abroad to protest against the bombardment to the countries to which they were ac- credited. He was convinced that the admirals had acted without instruc- tions. In conclusion M. Delyansis said: We are a small nation and cannot pre- vent such acts, but we protest against them with the force of great nation. We know that all great peoples are with us.''
 The prime minister was cheered again and again as he took his seat.

NOTES OF THE BIG FIGHT.
Corbett and FitzsimmOns Tell Funny
 Stories About Their Weight.

Stories About Their Weight.
 Carson, New, March 1.-Both Corbett and Fitzsimmons varied their mode to- day. Each gives the other to be much heavier than supposed, and both verge on the mysterious so far as their meth ods are concerned. Nobody can be found who believes that Corbett weighs less than 1S0 pounds, although he claims to be fifteen pounds lighter. Fitzsimmons' assertions regarding his own weight are nearer correct than Corbett's, but the Cornishman shies whenever he encounters pair of scales. Fitzsimmons trudged into Car son this morning in the face of a. bit ing wind, which carried a thick shower of fine snow. He covered the four miles to the postoffice in an even twen- ty-one minutes without taxing his wind. The homeward trip occupied twenty minutes, and at the end of the journey the Australian stripped for work, apparently none the worse for his sprinting.
 Then the bag was swung in place and Bob executed symphonies for twenty minutes Hickey and Stenzler were trotted out for few rounds, which were more spirited than usual.
 Corbett opened his days work with his boxing partner. Jeffries was cuffed about for two three-minute rounds and Woods, McVey, Joe Corbett and Bob Edgewin (the California amateur champion hammer thrower) stood up for two rounds each. When three min- utes had been tolled off White called time, though Jim protested that he was just warming up. He barely raised the precipitation and was seemingly as fresh as when he put on the gloves.

The Chicago Lad Secures the Decision
 Without Effort.
 New York, March 1.-Jimmy Barry of Chicago defeated Jack Ward of New ark, N. J., in twenty-round battle at 112 pounds before the American Sport ing club tonight. Barry did all the work throughout, and although Ward displayed remarkable cleverness, he would not stand up and fight at any stage of the game. Barry won credita- ply on points, and did not have to ex- ert himself to any great degree. It was a remarkably clean fight, devoid of bloodshed until the last round, when Wards ear was slightly cut.
 The bout was tame, because Ward would do no leading, and Barry had the decision safe at any time.
