MISS BOOkER's CONCERT.
IL Was u Thoroughly Artistic and
DeIiehtfu Affair.

There was unmlstakable evidence, even
at the beginning of last nights concert.
as the Young Mems Christian Association
Assembly Hall began to fill up with an
audience OF musicians and fashionab!es,
that the evening was likely TO be an un-
usual one. and so 1t proved.
Miss Bette Bookers reception was
spontaneous. earnest. and warm. IL was
her first public appearance since her re-
turn from the vocal schools or New
York and 1t can be said at once that
Miss Booker has made progress In her
art. Her voice is more flexible. and Is
under perfect control Its range Is wide,
and it's quality very pleasing. She sang
selections from Chaminade. Holmes,
Grieg, Bemberg, GODDARD, and Bizet. IL
was a really excellent performance
throughout. and Miss Booker has certain
ly never been heard 10 such advantage
before.
Mr.. Frederick Il. Hahn, OF whom Rich
mond musicians have been talking In
hyperbole for some time. made his first
appearance on the concert platform in
this city. His coming was anticipated
with great interest, as must be the ad-
vent OF any man, concerning whom
Rumor's tongues ell wag 10 the same
tune of fervent admiration and unstint-
ed praise. He has immense power, with
out apparent effort in proportion; his
accuracy never fails; his rendering OF
the most brilliant passages Is marked
by lust gradationS of tone and emphasis.
Mr. Arthur Scrivenor sang three selec-
tions. and Mr.. Jacob Reinhardt was the
accomDanist.

phecy and Promise.

CUMBERLAND. MD, June 3.-The
final session to-day, and the exercises
were concluded tonight with a banquet.
at which Secretary y-of-the-Treasury Ly-
man j. Gage and ex-Comptroller-of-the
Currency James II. Eckels were the prin-
cipal speakers The days session was
taken up by the election Of officers and
the reading of papers on banking and
currency questions one of the main in
cidents being the almost unanimous adOp-
ton of resolutions which are exactly
similar 10 those adopted at the last ses-
sion of the association, held in Baltimore
city last year. opposing the free coinage
OF silver. The banquet was held at the
Queen Cily Hotel. Secretary Gage,
when introduced, was greeted with pro-
ionged applause He said:
II am glad | am optimistic. There are
evidences to justify it. l find evidences
Of il to-day. one of your citizens took
lectual man. l asked him how business
was. He said. Good That man was
Judge Sloan. Court had just adjourned.
Great laughter. Reference was made
here this evening to my recent address in
Cincinnati. Let me repeat here the sub
stance OF the conclusion of that address.
The phophecy made then will be fulfilled.
The promise / am absolutely certain will
be- The, prophecy was that both bodies
OF Congress would soon put through an
adequate tariff bill. and the promise was
that The administration would be faithful
to the task imposed upon il of putting
the currency of the country on a sound
and enduring and solid basis"

is the statement that the banks wnlch

which will AGAIN affect the money they
have already loaned.
All efforts 70 ascertain the financial IN
terests here which are considering the
Dropositfon were fruitless yesterday. The
plan is said to have originated with
Samuel NJ. Rice. president of the Amerl-
can Spirits Manufacturing Company,
which succeeded the old Whiskey trust.
Jules S Bache, of the banking-house OF

UP.
AN EXTENSIVE PLOT UNEARTHED
AT NEW YORK.
THE C0UNTERFEITS EXCELLENT.
They Are of Bonds OF the Costn
Ricnn Government-One OF the Per-
Woman.

NEW YORK, June 3.-One Of the most
extensive counterfeiting plots ever dis
covered by the Secret Service Bureau OF
the Post-Ofice Department was brought
to light to-day. when Ricardo lie Reque-
sens and his wife. Eugenia. were arraign-
ed before Commissioner Shields, charged
with issuing counterfeit bonds of the Costa
Rlcan Government of the denomination
Of 100 pesos.
The prisoners were arrested by officers
of the United States Secret Service, on
an order issued by Chief Hazen, based
on information received from the Consul
General of the United States at Port
Limon, Costa Rica.
De Requesens has a printing establish
ment in Maiden Lane. this city, and he
was arrested there. No plates. dies, or
other counterfeiting tools were found in
the rooms. The woman who was ar
rested, and who said she was Eugenia de
Requesens, is fine-lookng, and apparently
about 30 years old. She told Chief Hazen
that she met De Requesens several
months ago, and that he told her he had
"a big scheme TO float in Costa Rica.'
She said: 1--WE went to Port Limon about
the middle of March AS to this charge
of attempting to float forged bonds of
the Costa Rican Government. ] can say
positively that 1 have no knowledge of
It whatever If my husband attempted
TO put any such bonds on the market.
] can say positively that | know nothing
of such a scheme
Ricardo de Requesens, the alleged prin-
cipal in the. floating Of the counterfeit
bonds. refused TO make any statement.
Both prisoners were held, in default of
5000 bail for examination on June 10th.
The counterfeits are excellent imita-
tions of the original bonds. and bear the
signatures of the president, F. Pesulta,
and Secretary Octuno. 1t is said they
were issued from New Orleans. 1t was
reported this afternoon that fully $l,2J0OJ
Of these bonds had been flOated but that
only a small portion Of the bonds have
been marketed in this city. There is a
story to the effect that De Requesens and
his wife went 10 Costa Rica to float the
bonds in an effort to benefit the insurrec-
tionists in that country. 1t is also said
that a large amount of the bonds were
placed among the conspirators against the
Costa Rican Government. Alfred Wal
colt. an English waiter in the Hotef I'm
perial, i'm San Jose, Costa Rica, is said to
be under arrest there. and that a large
amount of counterfeit notes have been
found in his possession. 1t is further
claimed that a bundle of counterfeits
was found i'm a sofa which he shipped
from this city. Chief Hazen said to-
night he expected witnesses from Costa
Rica to arrive within week or ten days.
