were announced as those of the pre-.

The opposition to Hanna has no bet
ting yet in its favor. Bets for even
money on Hanna's election have re.
manned posted at the Neil House for
two days without takers, and there are
other bets offered, among them being
one of $500 by General Grosvenor ON
Hanna's election. None of the bets
are on the result of the first or any
other ballot, but all are offered on the
final result.
Hannaites Charge Bribery.
While there have been charges and
counter-charges OF bribery, there was
considerable stir over the publication
in the Cincinnati Commercial. Tribune
of an alleged attempt to bride one Of
the members Of the 'combine" who has
been trying to get to Senator Hanna.
An interview was had in q room
in q certain hotel in which q
stenographer had been secreted who
took down every word of the inter.
view, an important part of which, it is
said, was an offer of $1,000 cash. The
two men who are accused of Offering
the bribe are as well known in Ohio
politics as either the senior or the Junior
senator, or the governor. One Of them
holds an important state Office and the
other has been an important official and
leader in this city.

claims of the opposition.
1t is understood that Governor Bush.

for either or both terms and that the
present programme is for Kurtz for
both the long and the short terms for
senator against Senator Hanna. While
the gold standard Democrats have all

are now giving 1.-The combine" the

summer, when Edeuard will sing St Concert garden, London, while Jean rests at his Polish estates prior to his appearance at Bayreuth in June. It will be a pleasure to hear the "big" De Reszke again. One never wearies of his superb performances. His work as Mephistopheles in Faust" once seen can never be forgotten. It is in every sense notable and fine, nothing more imposingly diabolical, more magnif- gently evil, more grimly humorous, was ever seen upon the stage.
 Nine. Melba's return is always an event. One hopes that she will always come back to us wiGh the winter sea- son. Mime. Melba may lack Calves dra matic genius, but her voice is fawless in its exquisite beauty, and her per- lonality is charming. It is not yet an nounced that she will appear in any new roles, out this is not essential, as the old repertoire serves for the dis play of her matchless tones.
 Mime. Flames has had the good for tune, or distinction, or whatever it may be, to sing in Gounod's s Romeo ct Juliette" before the queen at Wind sor castle recently. She is the first pT,iiI1la-donna to appear as Juliette be- fore the queen iH Windsor castle. The performance took place on a tempo rary stage erected in the celebrated ''Waterloo chamber"
 The Romeo of the occasion was Sa- lega,i who is also to be member of the Metropolitan company this winter. The entire eveLt is described as hay- ing been most successful. Mime. Flames will be accompanied to America by her husband, Julian Storey, the son of the famous sculptor. and dlhimself a painter of note.
 Mme. Calve will. of course, be heard in Carmen. We are sorry that the genial Signor Ancona is not coming over to sing the Torredore's part. Mime. Calve will be heard as Mar garite in MepEistofole, and perhaps in a new role. But if she sang nothing but Carmen she would still be very welcome.
 Mime. Nordica will be heard again as Elsa. Her success in Wagnerian roles is very gratifying to her friends. Year by year her position in the ranks of the great prima donnas becomes

pr1eed singers in the world, but she is really one of the worlds greatest ar tlsts. Her coming will be most. dis tlnctly an event, and her appearance in opera treat of the rarest sort. The beautiful quality of her voice and tbe perfection of her method commanded the admiration of ali when she ap- peared in concert last winter in New York, but as Mime. Sembrich has an essentially dramatic temperament. which needs the situations and ilIu- slons of grand opera to give it scope. it Is anticipated that her work in the French and Italian operas. and as Elsa in Lohengrin-which part she has added to her extensive epertoire-will display qualities not suggested in her concert work. Mme. Sembrich will have to bear comparison with such great lyric artists as Mme. Melba, Mime. Flames, Mime. Nordica and Mme. Calve-who have also signed contracts with Mr. Grau to appear at the Metro politan during the coming season. It Is believed, however, that she will take a very high rank among these favor ties, even if the first place is not ac- corded to her.
 Frances sehumann-Heink has never been heard in America, but she is con sidered to be the greatest contralto now appearing in opera. She, too, has been engaged for the coming season at the Metropolitan, and her debut here is awaited by those who love Wagner's music with as much interest as lovers of Italian opera attach to Mme. Sem brich's appearance.
 Jean Sehumann-Heinl has just re- peated in London the triumphs she achieved in Hamburg and Berlin. In 1896 she appeared at Bayreuth, where she sang Erda in Siegfried and Wal traute in Goetterdammerung, creating very deep impression; indeed her wonderful singing was considered by

The disquieting reports that have come from England of failing voice are diseredited What lovers of grand opera would do if Jean de Reszke ceased to sing, it is difficult to imagine. He is so identified with the great roles that it would almost seem thatthey could be heard no more when his voice becomes silent. He has been so long the popular idol that the whole temple of music would seem 70 totter if he fell.
 Edouard de 9eszke is as we'll loved as his brother, and his absence would be as serious loss, The patrons of grand opera uttered q gentle sigh of relief when it was announced that he, too, would return. The famous broth CTS will not be separated until next
