THB OPERA IN CHICAGO
The Metropolitan Singers Heard in That City
First This Season.

First This Season.
The Maurice Grau Opera Company has An
ished the FIRST week Of its engagement In Chi
cago. and the new artists introduced there
have been successful enough to promise excel
lent results for the season. which New Workers
will have beginning on Nov. %. Ernst Van
Dyck's debut as Idnnhduser seems to have
been completely successful. It is one Of his
best roles. and the success he made In Chicago
on Wednesday evening last seems to have
been as thorough with the critics as with the
public. Suzanne Adams proved herselfa pretty
woman and an agreeable singer as Juliette, and
there seems to be no doubt Of the great beauty
Of Ernestine Schumann-H eink's voice. She did
not sing Venus. as 1t was decided that Frau
lein Pevny was at this time more suited to the
requirements OF the role. But as 0rtINd
Frau Schnmann-H eink proved that her gifts
have not been exaggerated by the reports Of
her superb contralto that have been brought
to this country. Her success was quito az
marked as NJ. Van Dyck's. n. saleza. q new
tenor, proved that he can at least sing Romeo
admirably.
Marcella Sembrich should almost be included
among the newcomers. as she has not been
heard in Chicago since her first visit to this
country. Hers has really been one Of the most
notable triumphs OF the season there. She

in condition to sing since the season opened.
Most OF the artists are housed In the Audi
torium Hotel. and do not have to brave the
terrors Of the Chicago storms In order to reach
the opera house. The buildings adjoin; but
the public is not 80 conveniently situated. The
audiences have to 60 out OF doors to reach the
theatre, and that has been an unpleasant task
during the last week.
In view of the kindly disposition shown BY
the press toward the company. it was believed
that the unfortunate experience Of the COM
pany on its last previous visit would be forgot

year. There Is still time for that. as tho COM

He's an Ordinary Goat, but Hes Worth
Five Men in Loading Sheep.
AUSTIN. Tex. Nov. 10.-The Internationa
and Great Northern Railroad has q trained
goat in its employ. The goat receives no sal
airy for his services. but he receives the best of
treatment and seems to fully appreciate the
important position which he holds with the
railroad corporation. This goat is used to
load sheep on cars and is we'll known to all Of
the shippers along that line OF road. He was
raised In Mexico near the town OF Lampazos.
on the line OF the Mexican National Railroad.
To all outward appearances he was only an Or
binary goat and great was the surprise OF his
owner about q year ago when the goat, Of his
own FREQ will. paid q visit to the stock pens at
Lampazoa. where a shipment OF goats were
being loaded. and led a big flock OF stampeded
animals back into the pens and into the cars.
The value OF this particular goat was quickly
recognized, and for several months he had
regular employment as leader In rounding up
and loading shipments of goats at Lampazos
and other places along the line Of the Mexican
National. He had the Mexican name OF " Gull
lermo Ferrocarril." which in English means

shipment Of sheep was to be made from Lare-

done. The sheep seemed to Mt once recognize

SENATE COMMITTEE CHANGES.
Shifting of Chairmanships Caused By
MorrilPS Death.

Washington, Dec. .2S.--There is much
speculation as to who Will succeed

senate committee on finance. The COM
ndttee is generally considered in some
respects the most important in the SEN
Gle. Senator Allison. VINO is now char
man Of tie APPROXIMATIONS committee.
has, since Senator Sherman's retire
n,cnt, stood next to Senator Morrill,
on the finance committee, and, under
the unwritten rules of the senate. he
would succeed to the Craftsmanship if
he should desire to do so. and the best
opinion obtainable is that he will so
desire. In order to take this Olace. he
would have to surrender his place as
chairman of the committee on aDDro-
priations. If ne accepts this chairman
ship, Senator Hale viii succeed him as
chairman of the committee on appFo-
priations, and he will. in turn. be sue
ceeded by Senator Perkins as chair
man of the naval committee.
If Senator Allison should decline the
craftsmanship of the finance commit
tee. that place would then fall to SEN
ator AldFich, who would. in turn. be
succeeded as chairman of the commit
tee on rules by Senator Spooner.
There appears to be very little doubt
that the rules of the senate will be
changed very soon after the reassen-
bling of the senate so as to take the
majority of the appropriations bills
from the committee on appropriations.
and distribute them among the other
committees.

EXPANSION AS AN ISSUE.
NJ. Bryan Says the Question May Be
Settled

Omaha, Dec. 2S.-W. ]. BRYAN arriv-
ed in Omaha today from Chicago. lie
called on friends in the city during the
morning, and this afternoon left for
Lincoln.
When asked if he thought the ques-
ton of imperialism would overshadow
the money issue in the campaign of
1900, Mr.. Bryan said it was difficult at
this time to tell what relation these
subjects would bear to each other then.
He thought if congress would adopt a
resolution pledging this government to
hold the Philippines only as a trust for
their people as we do Cuba. until a
stable government is established. the
expansion issue would be at an end.
II, however, the question is not settled
in some such way as this. he said it
would continue to be a matter of dis
cussion until it was disposed of. and
would, therefore, remain one of the is
sues before the people.
With Puerto Rico. Mr.. Bryan said,
the situation could be simplified easily.
He believed the people of the island
should first be permitted to vote as to
whether they desired annexation or the
formation of an independent republic.

Though quite conservative. and on the
whole optimistic, the professor sug-
