REMENYi DEAD.
Famous VioIinist Drops Dead While
on Stage at San Francisco.

san Francisco, May 15.-Edouard
Hlmenyi who has held royalty en-
chanted and has enthraHed fashionable
audiences all over the world, fcil dead
this afternoon, at the Orephcum thea
ire in this city. 1t was Remcnyi's first
appearance in the city OF the vaudeville
stage. The artist appeared and was
greeted with tunIultous anDlause he
bowed his acknowledgment and seem
d immensely pleased at the reception
Given him.
He had played two or three classical
core with The most familiar "Old
Glory" Remenyi played as if inspired
1y what seemed as if he knew this was
to be the elimination of his career. and
ne had determined that his final APP
pcarancc should mark his greatest tri-
umph.
He rose to the occasion magnificent
IT,. and his 5000 auditors, as Remenyi
approached his climax. literally rose
with him, leaving their seats in their
excitement completely carried away by
his achievement.
When the music ceased the house
was swept with a torrent Of braves.
Tie applause was almost deafening
and continued for several finutes.
Remenyi and his accompanies. II. >.
Rosner. came forward and in response
10 another burst of applause, the
great Eemenyi commenced to play
"Delibes Pizzicati" He had just com
pleted few bars Of the difficult finger
ing when he leaned forward as il to
speak to one of the musicians IN the
cchestra, continuing his piece.
He seemed to pause for moment
and then slowly fell forward on ms
face. One of the musicians caught
him lust before he touched the stage
and prevented him from rolling off. He
was carried from the stage and phySl-
clans were Immediately summoned. but
the aged musician was past medical
aid. The doctors worked upon him Tor
some time. but their efforts were fu-
tile.
Remenyi had seemed overwhelmed
at the great reception given him. Al
ter rlaving his first selection he SAID 10
q friend behind the stage: Wonder
fll, wonderful audience: WONDERFUL
a great people" His playing OF 'oio
Glorll' was truly enchanting. His IN
strument seemed to speak. The eN-

THE NEW ExTRADlTIoN TREATY. WITH MEXICO

WASHINGTON, Fec. 22.-The bill for
the increase of the regular army which
the minority Of the house committee en-
military affairs will offer as substitute
for the Hull bill was drawn by Repre-
sentative Hay of Virginia, and is now
in the hands of the war department
where an estimate is being made Of the
cost Of such military establishment
as 1t provides. The bill provides for
standing army Of 10000 men-l2O00
srtillery, 5000 infantry. 5000 cavalry.
engineer, ordinance, isignal corps,
and general staff. To meet the
existing exigency for troops in Puerto
Rico, Cuba, the Philippines, Hawaii,
and the Ladrones the bill provides that
the President may issue his proclama-
ton for $4,000 additional volunteer
troops to be enlisted for two years.
These are to be commanded by officers
appointed by the President. The pres
ent volunteers shall be mustered out
within sixty days after the passage Of
the act but volunteer organizations
new in the service will be given the
preference for enlistment in the next
volunteer army if'they SO elect within
fifteen days. The bill provides that no
regular army officer in the army prior
to the war with Spain shall be muster
cd out.
The main contention the report will
make for the minority plan as against
the Hull bill for standing army of
100000 men is that the future of the
Philippines and Cuba are yet undeter-
mined, but If the standing army is in
creased to 100000 it will be almost i'm
possible, no matter what may happen
in the future, to reduce 1t. The report
will say standing army of 100000 men
will cost the people of the United States
el65 100000. This added to S145, 100000
for pensions will bring the cost of our
military establishment up to $310,000,-
900, the largest charge in the world for
. amilitary establishment.

extending their lines to the Pacific
coast. The absorption of Hawaiian
and Philippine islands by this country,
it is expected, by the owners of these

that the fast mail contract between the

had a number of bad wrecks and it has
been very expensive service for the
company in ether respects. The train

Departmental Interior Decides
the Las Vegas Grant Claim.
OWNED BY TOWN OF. LAS VEGAS
Another Step Toward the SoIu-
tion Of a Vexed Question.
POSSIBILITIES OF THE FUTURE

The Las Vegas grant has again been
'settled."
One of the last official acts OF Secre-
tary G. N. Bliss before rendering the
President his resignation as secretary
of the interior was to decide this long
pending contest. He holds that the
government no longer has any interest
in the grant; that it is the property of,
and belongs to, the town of Las
Vegas"
OPINIONS DIFFER.
| As to the full meaning and signif-
cance of this action. opinions differ, of
course; they always do-some very ex-
cellent and influential citizen will say
that it don't cut much ice; that the
secretary of the interior is purely a
ministerial officer, whose opinions
amount to little or nothing; that the
proper place to settle title to realty is in
the courts, and that now, after forty
years, this case has got to go into the
courts for final determination as to its
real ownership.
On the other hand many equally ex-
cellent gentlemen of affairs 10 the COM
munity assert and declare that Secre-
tary Bliss decision, if nothing more, is
leng and most gratifying step in the
right direction, aud, as for another for
ty years of contention and litigation,
they hepe for the best; for the speedies
final issue possible of attainment under
sound business principles; the greatest
good to the greatest number-and
Greater Las Vegas welfare always up
permost
GOOD THING ANYHOW.
However, the raLk and file of the
people. and THE OPTIC is always with
the people, appear to think the decision
a good thing, and much more than the
beginning of the end of contest that,
for nearly twenty years, has retarded
the growth and development of the
city's splendid resources, driven out
capital seeking investment and crippled
home industries.
In brief, the action of The secretary
Of the interior signifies that the depart
