LONDON, March 29.-The house 1,
commons was occupied for some time to.
day IN a debate on the Indian currerrr.
Lord George Hamilton, secretary q
state for India, admitted that It wua,

He points out that nobody had blaE.sI

The Philharmonic Club concert last
evening was decided success. The en-
tire programme was made up from the
writings Of Haydn, the perfecter OF
string orchestra music, and the reading
OF Il by Professor Schockey, Professor
Blumenberg. Mr.. Farber and Mr.. Meyer
was exceptionally expressive. The So
nato No. I (piano and violin) was beau
tlfully interpreted by Professor
Schockey and Professor Blumenbcrg.
each Instruments part proving in this
number the necessary complement OF
the other. Equally sharing the honor
with the Quartet in the estimation OF
an unusually large audience was Mrs.
Flora Williams, soprano. Mrs. Williams
never was heard 10 better advantage
than last night, which in Itself means 4
great treat. Her voice being in splendid
condition and her conception faultlcss,
distinctly warranted the enthusiastic
applause which greeted her rendltions.
There is but one remaining Philhar-
monte concert in this seasons series. It
Is scheduled for Tuesday, April u, i'm
mcdiately after Easter, and as tribute
TO an organization to whom too much
praise cannot be accorded for the steady
improvement, the last concert should be
given an asscmblage filling the Carroll
Club Auditorium. The gentlemen COM
prising the Quartet deserve that compli-
mcnt. ,

there will be high water on the upper

When Captain Orchard, OF the
Wheeling wharthout, was shown the
dispatch he took a conservative Wow of
the situation. and gave 1t as his opln-
lon that the thirty foot mark would not
be reached at Wheeling. Even Il the
stage at Pittsburgh to-day is twenty
two feet. he does not anticipate over
thirty feet here. for the reason that tho
tributaries OF the Ohio below Pitts,
burcil, including the Beaver. are not
contributing TO the rise. just about the,
situation in February Of last year'when
the difference OF maximum heights at
Pittsburgh and Wheeling was not so
large as 1t was last week.
To sum up the situation, there Is
nothing TO alarm the public: without
doubt the Ohio at Wheeling will remain
well within Its, banks. and the people
who are just recovering from severe
flood experience can rest assured that
their troubles will not be renewed soon.
