Pope Leo Issues Special EncyclicaI on
Subject.

New York, May 28.-A special from
Washington to the Journal and Adverti-
ser, says: An important encyclical from
the Pope arrived at the Apostolic delega-
tion today The subject of the eneyclical
is the present pontiff's favorite theme,
namely the union of all Christian
churches with the See of Rome 1t is the
official and final papal declaration re-
garding the claims of the eastern and
Anglican churches to the Apostolic sue
cession. The document is one of the
lengthiest of the Pope Leo's papers. It
covers more than thirty pages of finely
printed Latin. Pope Leo makes the fol-
lowing decree to be henceforth incum-
bent on the entire Catholic world.
.'We therefore decree and order that on
this year and forever a novena shall be
celebrated at Pentecost in all the Cathe-
dral churches, and if the bishops think it
wise in all other churches and chapels

Washington, May 26.-The decision of

was anticipated by the managers. The
avoidance of caucus upon the bill as a

was as full of ginger as colt, and gave
no outward indications of his advanced

came in for much admiration. Being an

FIREMEN ON DRESS PARADE
The Apparatus and Horses in First-ciass Con-
dition and Above Criticism

The first OF the semi-annual inspec-
tions of the fire department took place
yesterday afternoon at l o'clock at the
plaza, and was witnessed by a large
number of people. The inspection was
in every way satisfactory to the COM
missioners, who expressed themselves
as highly pleased with the condition of
the apparatus and the horses. The
men We're all in new uniforms, and are
as likely-looking fire fighters as can be
found in the country A number of
eastern visitors We're among the crowd,
and they We're unstinted in their praises,
saying that the display compared most
favorably with the best departments of
the east.
The apparatus was assembled on
North Main street, and promptly at 1
o'clock began to pass in review before
the commissioners, Messrs. Wells, Sa-
bichi, Kuhrts and Vetter, headed by
his honor, Mayor Snyder. Chief Moore,
with Assistant Ed Smith and Electrician
Francis, were on hand, and pointed out
to the commissioners the various points
of each piece Of apparatus. There was
absolutely not the slightest ground for
criticism. The engines We're in perfect
condition, and the shining nickel and
brass showed that the boys had not
been sparing in elbow grease. The
horses were carefully groomed. in good
condition, and far above the average of
fire horses in style and action AS one
of the commissioners remarked, any one
of the teams would make a carriage pair
good enough for any company The
only thing not up to date was the hook
and ladder truck, and by the next in
spection this will have been remedied,
the city having some weeks ago ordered
one of the latest improved Babcock
trucks, which is expected to arrive at any
day. With this piece of appara tue the

SOUSA'S CONCERTS
Large Audiences Enjoy Two Splendid and
Popular Programs

Sousa and his splendid organization
of musicians were provided with proper
Southern California weather yesterday
and in consequence Hazards pavilion
was thronged at both the afternoon and
evening concerts. The audience at the
matinee was, as usual. not particularly
enthusiastic but the march king was
very generous with his encores and sent
all home rejoicing.
Standing room only was available at
the evening concert, the Wagner-So Sousa
program proving a very great attrac-
ton. 1t would be almost impossible to
select music of more opposite character,
but the combination resulted in a de-
lightfully balanced program, which was
none the less enjoyable by reason of the
contrast Sousa's band is naturally the
very finest exponent of Sousa's music,
but there are only very few bands on
earth that can pay proper tribute to the
imagination, grandeur and magnificent
mystery of Wagner, and Sousa's band
is also one of these. Those who heard
the overture to Tannhaeuser last night
should never forget the event.
OF Sousa's own marches the public, as
he wisely yet modestly recognizes, can
never have a surfeit. but it was pleasant
to note last night that his symphonic
poem. " The Chariot Race" received the
warmest sort of recognition. Another
delightful feature of Sousas visit has
been fascinating glimpseS of his opera,
Eel Captain" Los Angeles will now
more than ever await the good hour for
hearing it in its entirety.
Another feature of more than ordinary
interest was Sousa's spontaneous pro-
duction of our Italy" given as an en-
core. which is a wellknown and much
appreciated composition of local mu-
sician, Fred w. Blanchard. This grace
full act as we'll as the pleasing strains
was loudly applauded.
One of the gems of the matinee was
given as an encore by four French horns
the delicious melody and harmony OF
Sweet and Low" being brought out
with beautiful effect. The famous sex
tet from 'Lucai di Lammermoor" was
also again splendidly rendered.
Martina Johnstone confirmed the good
impression she made on her audiences
on Saturday and received the honor OF
a double encore at the matinee. Mr.
Northrop was, it must be confessed, a
little disappointing, but the acoustic
properties of Hazards pavilion, or
rather the lack of them, furnish fear
full handicap to any vocalist.
Messrs Blanchard and Fitzgerald are
to be thoroughly congratulated for the
excellence of their arrangements and
for their share, no small one in the sue
cess of the concerts. 1t was somewhat
bold undertaking to secure Sousa for
four concerts instead Of two, as last
year. but happily the event more than
justified it; in fact, at the present ratio
of musical progression La Fiesta of 1886
should secure Sousa and his band for the
entire week
