OPENING WICHITA LANDS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4. - Secretary
Francis Saturday said about the pro-
posed opening of the Wichita reserva.
ton: II am trying to get around to it
but cannot say when will take it up"
An erroneous impression prevails in
the territory that the secretary also
contemplates opening the kiowa and
Comanche lands in addition to the
Wichita reservation. Secretary Francis
will do nothing more than assign allot-
ting agents for the Wichita reservation
at this time. 1t is expected that by
the time this work is concluded the de-
partment of justice will have finished
the adjustment of the legal questions.
FRANCIS REvERsEs HoKE SMITH. >
ST. LOUIS, Jan. A special from
Perry, Ok, says: News received here
from Washington is that Secretary
Francis has reversed ex-Secretary
Smiths decision relative to claim-hold-
ers who made runs for the Indian res.
ervation in the Cherokee strip in Sep
TENDER, 1893. The report has caused
considerable excitement, and hundreds
of contests before the land Office will
result. Several thousand persons are
affected. Smith held that persons who
obtained claims by running from
Creek, Otoe, Usage and Ponca Indian
country were disqualified, and Secre-
tary Francis decides that they are
qualified.
HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The wires are
already laid to annex Hawaii during
the Mckinley administration. The
New England senators are alert and
the Hawaiian oligarchy is active. The
annexation element in Hawaii looked
upon the republican victory in Novem-
Der as opening the doors for admission
to the union. They are not asking to
come in as state, but will be satisfied
with territorial form of government
to start with.

Reversed-Hswaiian Annexation.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Many meas.
ures Of public importance will come be-
fore congress when it reconvenes to-
morrow from the holiday recess. A
sharp contest and much spirited debate
is certain in each chamber. In the sem
ate the Cameron resolution and the
free homestead bill are both sure OF an
animated reception. In the house the
Pacific funding bill and the Loud mail
bill will occupy the time. Senator
Platt will present the minority report
Of tho senate committee on Indian
affairs in opposition to the free home
stead bill, which heads the senate cal
sndar. The report opposes the bill on
the general grounds of the vast expense
its adoption would entail upon the
government The measure is on
the senate calendar as unfin-
ished business, but there is no
ioubt it will have to wait determine
ton of the fate of the Cameron
resolution. Those who are opposed to
the bill will ask that no action be
taken for time, and as they are pre-
pared to successfully oppose any effort
to force its passage at this time, the
outlook is not especially promising.
Until the past day or two it appeared
certain that the Cuban resolution
would be sprung Immediately after
the senate resumes business on Tues
day. 1t is now possible, even probable,
that it will 60 over, at least for few
days. If the movement to have the
committee on foreign relations again
consider the question as to when it
shall be taken up prevails, the
question cannot be raised un-
til after the committee meet
ing on Wednesday, and the
advocates of the bill are becoming
quite sanguine that If they succeed in
preventing consideration until Wednes-
day they will secure a still further
postponement. Senator Gear, chair
man of the Pacific railroads commit
tee, is doubtful of the advisability of
pressing for the consideration of his
funding bill until after the action Of
the house on the same measure, and
may wait upon that body. If he does
rot delay on this account he will make
an effort to get the bill up on Tuesday,
or Immediately after the homestead
bill shall be disposed Of,

OLD AND NEW MUSICAL STUDIES
The Modern Musician Would Not
Work Hard.

Work Hard.
There is nothing in musical history
more remarkable than the difference
between the training of the old mas
ters and that of the generation which
succeeded them. Haydn worked 16
hours day with FuX Gradus and the
sonalas @, Emanuel Bach; Mozart, the
quilAcst CT pupils, was t1hCl BY care
fui and cXacting teacher Trough the
most rigorous course of study that the
age permitted; Beethoven spent his
Dyyhood in almost OverStraiaCd labor,
2-.d at an age when man. IIvn VOL.
lJo-. upon their education as complete
set himself again to write themes for
HarGa and counterpart exercises for
Acknowledgment. But Ror.i2z. List.
Wager, can hardly be described as
educated musicians at all. No doubt
the first of them was technically at
the Paris Conservatoire. hCt : Is co.,
nection with it the less said the better.
List, as a young man, had little incli-
nation to exchange the triumphs of the
virtuoso for the drudgery Of the stu
dent. Wagner was given up as incCr-
rigible by two masters, and By the third
sent out as finished composer after six
months And even the musicians OF
this period who stand nearer to the
classical line-such as Schumann and
Chopin-are affected in some degree
by the want of balance and complete
ness in their musical training.
In their student days they were
brought up on Bach's "well-tempered
cllvier," but they knew little Of his
choral work, certainly not the passion
music or the B minor mass; they heard
some Mozart and Haydn, but little of
Beethoven, and of Schubert virtually
nothing; they were taught how to
write fugue, but not how to write a
sonata or n symphony. No doubt Schu-
mann discovered for himself a great
deal more than he ever learned from
Kuntzsch; there is the famous story of
his training his hand for chamber mu-
sic by Shutting himself up with all
Beethoven's duartets," but thisis n very
different thing from studying the great
model - the proper time and under the
proper influences. And Chopin, few
years before his death, had never heard
of the F minor-the "most Beethoven
ish of them all, as Mendelssohn called
it-and had to send round to a music
shop in order to procure copy. I'm
