Peace Jubilee between 5. B. Hege, repre-
senting the Baltimore and Ohio; E. J.
Lockwood, the Norfolk and Western, and
D. c. Berkeley, the Southern Railroad, and
Leo Simmons, vice chairman of the rail-
road committee. The subject of rates to
Washington during the Jubilee was dis
cussed at considerable length. and means
for bringing the subject before the differ
! ent railways which have no terminals in
/ this city was also talked of. The
railway officials present at the conference
pledged their hearty support to any an
which will further the interests of the pee
| pie to the coming Jubilee. 1t was agreed
| upon by the representatives present TO
| make the fare to Washington from any
station on their lines half rate. from May
| 20 to 81. 1t is the intention of the railway
committee to send a communication 10 the
various passenger agents of the different
railroad companies all over the country,

committee on stands, parks, fountains and
| reservations, called on Colonel Bingham,
Superintendent of Public Buildings and
| Grounds, yesterday and acquainted him
with the intention of the committee not to
erect stands along the avenue. The lAan
was very gratefully approved by Colonel
Bingham, and he has promised to make tn
reservations and parks as attractive during

gress will permit.

THE SAUER RECITAL.
4 Big Audience Greets the Pianist
at the National.

A long line of carriages outside of the
National Theatre and a line of people
nearly as lengthy in front of its box Of
flee marked the giving OF Sauer's first local
recital yesterday afternoon. The audience
which assembled was as large as it was
brilliant. Nearly all of the orchestra seats
were taken, while fully 200 musical de-
votees stood back of the circle. and twice
that number had chairs upstairs. Women
predominated in the house, but the ap
piause bestowed had all the heartiness of
masculine approval and the pianist's ap-
pesrance was stamped as a veritable
triumph.
Much had been said in advance of the
musician and of his marvellous skill. but
perhaps few Of those who attended yester-
days entertainment expected the excellence
manifested. Emil Sauer is undoubtedly a
man of great genius and his playing ap
proaches perfection. Perhaps the most
noticeable portion of his work is in the
technique displayed. The visitor is com
plete master of his instrument, his touch
and pedaling being more than remarkable
Both are firm and yet delicate. Sauers
nimble fingers seem possessed Of their own
intelligence and apparently produce the
marvellous phrasing and subtle effects that
mark his performance of themselves. The
pianist is something greater than an ar
tisan, however. and his efforts show the
poetry and feeling so necessary to even en-
joyable renderings in an unusual degree.
The programme selected for yesterdays
affair began with DAibert's arrangement
of Bach's 'Praeludium and Fugue," both
being calculated 10 prove the musician &
mechanical ability. Next came Beethoven's
Sonata" Op. SO. a most pretentious COM
position which was rendered in man
ner al once delightful and admirable.
Schumanns ''Nachtstucke." Op. %. No. 4.
and his '.Toccata" Op. T. were perhaps the
most melodious selections given and with
Rubinstein's fantastic and airy "Barcarol-
lie, Op. 80. No. 3. took the nature of "A
concession TO popular taste. Both were
well received and more generally applauded
than any of the other numbers.
Sauer showed some boldness in choos-
ing three of Chopin's compositions, and
yet in giving none of that masters noe
turnes. The omission may have been
unprecedented or may have been indi-
catiye Of the pianist's greater regard for
Chopin's more pretentious products The
'Bolero." Op. 10, dance in four move
ments; the "Berceuse," Op. 81. a rather
deliberate and melancholy bit, and the
"Etude." study in harmony. composed
Chopin's portion of the programme. Sauers
own "Couplet Sans Paroles and Murmure
du Vent" were heartily received as was the
final number, Liszts arrangement of
Schubert's "Erlking"
The entire entertainment was thorough
ly enjoyable and thoroughly enjoyed The
pianist was greeted with remarkable en-
thusiasm, and there is no doubt that his
subsequent appearances in this city will
draw forth even greater audiences than that
OF yesterday.

THE NAVAL RESERVES.
Plans Perfected to Give Them Some
Needed Training


During the coming summer the Navy
Department will inaugurate new plan
for training the naval reserves, which is
expected to greatly increase their efIicien-
cy. During the war. it was found that the
reserves, willing and energetic as they
were, could not learn the work of a man
of-war's man in a moment.
Now all this is to be avoided in the fu-
ture, if it is possible to obviate it by hard
work. The auxiliary cruiser Prairie, which
carries splendid battery OF the latest
rapid fire guns, has been assigned TO duty
with the reserves this summer. She wi |
visit each Atlantic State which has an Or
ganized reserve and take it on board for a
weeks genuine cruising at sea.
She will be commanded by an officer of
the regular navy, who will have an execu-
tive officer, a navigator and a drill lieutsn-
ant and a skeleton crew of picked men,
who will act as instructors. Her capacity,
in addition to this, Will be 100 naval mill
tia.
Half of the week will be devoted espe-
,cially to the routine work of u warship
and half to target practice. An unassigned
time will be given. up to sea sickness.

Savannah. Ga, March 17.-Mayor Mey-
ers was this morning shown a dispatch
from Washington stating that no trans
ports with troops from Cuba would be sent
here after April. The dispatch stated that
owing TO the fear that far Southern cities
would quarantine against troops from
Cuba, Camp Meade, Pa, would be reopened
and a hospital established at Montauk

tration," the mayor said, is that no troops
shall be brought 10 Savannah from Cuban
ports after April u. This is fifteen days
before the regular quarantine goes on, but
at the next meeting of the sanitary board
resolutions will be passed fixing the time
OF quarantining April 10. The troops
have been of vast benefit to Savannah and
no doubt the friends of the soldiers would
