MUSIC AND THE STAGE.
PEOPLES CHURCH.

In this age of superlatlves, adjectives
have become rather threadbare So, in
describing the art Of Mr.. David Bispham,
baritone, who appeared in recital at the
Peoples church last evening, a new word
would not be amiss. For Mr. Bispham
has the knack, talent, genius, whatever
one cares to call it, of enthusing in a like
degree each one in an audience made up
Of music lovers that have attained to
various degrees of musical culture.
With a middle range that for quality,
sweetness and timbre is almost unsur-
passed with higher tones clear and mel
low and lower tones deep and reverent,
Mr.. -Bispham has voice capable Of I'M
usual effects. His operate training has
given him an unusually fine stage pres
ence, and to this training he also owes,
no doubt, his distict enunciation and
much dramatic force. A large audience
greeted Mr.. Bispham last night. 1t was
also fashionable audience, and the large
auditorium presented an unusually gala
appearance.
After 30 Ruddier Than the Cherry"
from Handlers "Acis and Galatea," Mr..
B1Spham sang group of German songs

nent women vocalists have sung this in
St Paul. Art never succeeds in crushing
out femininity, and the restrained power
with which the number was sung last
night was entirely masculine and decided
ly refreshing.
The most impressive thing on the pro
gramme perhaps was the song cycle bv

peculiarly opposed to Democratic princi-
pies as savoring of paternalism and class
legislation, and the right of citizens to
enter into lawful trade partnerships and
combinations might be seriously hamper
ed thereby. The promotion of complete
freedom of trade by the removal of re-
strictions thereon is held to be the only
safe and practicable way to prevent mo-
nopolies by encouraging competition.
And as for the danger of International
trusts, such as were held up as a bugbear
when free trade was suggested as the
true remedy for the trust evil. If interna-
tional trusts cannot be organized by men
like the former head of the Illinois Steel
company-whose failure to interest Ger
man, French Belgian and English man
ufacturers in such scheme Is scarce two
weeks old-with all the advantage to be
derived from a prohibitory duty in the
United States markets to offer as spe-
cial inducement-if such men under such
favorable conditions cannot organize an
international trust. there Is small danger
of such proposition meeting with favor
If the unfair advantage derived from high
protection be removed.

THAT BIG LUMBER DEAL.
Weyerhaeuser Purchase of Northern
Pacific Lands Not CONNECTED.

Weyerhaeuser Purchase of Northern
Pacific Lands Not Completed.
Officials of the Weyerhaeuser Lumber
company deny that the deal with the
Northern Pacific, whereby theWeyerhaeu-
ser company-Will purchase LOCO, 600 acres
of timber land from that road, has been
completed. The party consisting of Fred
er1ck Weyerhaeuser, R. M. Weyerhaeuser,
K. L. Mccormick, Hugh Musser, of River
Falls; r. and L. Lamb, Clinton, To-. Will
liam Carson, Burlington, and others
which left for the coast to inspect the
lands for the. purchase of which negotia-
lions with the Northern Pacific are pend
ing, have returned from the coast and
are much pleased with the condition of
the timber. Joseph Jockey, cashier of the
National German-American bank, Is the
only member of the party remaining at
the coast and will return to ST. Paul be-
fore the end of the week.
Speaking Of the deal, one of the officials
Of the Weyerhaeuser company said last
night:
Contrary to the report published, no
deal with the Northern Pacific has been
closed. The proposed terms, $3.50 per
acre. have been found satisfactory, and
the syndicate is willing to take the lands
at this price. There is nothing vet to
warrant the report that the lands have
been bought, as not paper has been ex-
ecuted, and the matter is still pending.
1t is probable that the timber will be
bought, as the gentlemen who composed
the party which went to the coast for
the purpose of inspecting the lands have
returned much pleased"

REPAIRS. FOR WARsHIps.
Another Naval Station Needed in
the Philippines.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Admiral
Dewey called at the navy department to-
day in response to a request from Secre-
tary Long to discuss the question of es-
tabishing a naval station at Cavite, or
some other point near Manila. Such a
station is now in operation at Cavite, but
it is foreseen that the requirements of
the navy may be much greater than those
which are Temporarily attended to at
Cavite. The admiral brought with him
portions Of his report, to be Incorporated
in the full report of the Philippine COM
mission. This discusses the establshm n
of permanent naval station for the
Philippines and recommends Subig bay,
about sixty niles from Manila, as prefer
able to Cavite. as there is a fine harbor
of a. capable depth of water and many
natural advantages for making this a
strong naval establishment.
While Admiral Deweys view will doubt
less prevail when permanent station is
established, this will be for congress to
deal with, and the present purpose is to-

ROBERTS CASE FIRST.
Utah Member Has Little Chance of u
Seat in the House.


Seat in the House.
WASHINGTON, Nov. although COM
paratively few Of the representatives
elect have yet arrived in Washington, the
expressions of those who are here make
it very apparent that there will be
large majority of the members of the
house opposed to allowing Brigham H.
Roberts, Of Utah, to sit with them. In
terviews with those who have arrived lead
irresistibly to the conclusion either that
Mr.. Roberts will not be allowed to take
his seat at all, or that he will be ex-
PEELED from it after the house has had the
report of committee and has heard both
sides of the case.
Mr.. Roberts will not be without some
supporters on the floor. The technical de-
Tense which he sets up meets the ap-
prevail of some of the members, and he
will not be without champions able and
ready to make a strong fight in his be-
half.
The proceedings over his case bid fair
to overshadoW in interest the proposed
financial legislation, the question relating
to the newly acquired territory of the
United States and every other matter
that will come before the house at the
beginning of the session. Just what the
character of those proceedings will be no
one at present knows.
Whether Mr.. Roberts will be prevented
from taking his seat at all, when the
other members OF, the house are sworn in,
will depend very largely upon the action
of Mr.. Henderson as speaker. Mr.. Hen
derson has not yet intimated what course
he will pursue. The house has from time
to time refused to allow men to be sworn
in when there were conflicting creden-
tials but there has never been a case in
which there was a refusal to administer
the oath to a man who presented a certif-
icate of election In due form and absolute
ly uncontested by rival applicant for
the seat.

WHICH SIDE WONT
Police and the Northwestern TeIe-
phone People Disagree.

Police and the Northwestern TeIe-
phone People Disagree.
The Northwestern Telephone company
sought to steal a march upon the West
side police yesterday and erect pole
for private wire in the street at Livings-
ton and George streets, but after several
hours of strategy, when the pole was
finally in place, the crew of five men was
placed under arrest. Manager Freely, of
the telephone company, had consulta-
ton with Chief Goss after the coup
agreeing to remove the objectionable
pole, when the telephone exchange en-
ployes were released from custody.
The trouble over the erection of the pole
arose over provision of the council that
no poles can be put up in the streets
without permission of the council. Re-
Gently the police department was notified
by Mayor Kiefer to rigidly enforce this
law. Capt. Getchell, of the Ducas station,
says he discovered yesterday that the
company intended putting up a pole at
George and Livingston streets. He says
the hole had been dug and that crew of
telephone company employees, together
with tools for work, were hidden during a
greater part of the day in a building
waiting for the policeman on the beat to
get far enough away to allow the pole
to be put in place. With this information
Capt. Getchell put Sergeant Ryan and Of
icer Hammer on guard. Shortly before
o'clock yesterday afternoon, it is alleged,
the telephone crew sailed forth from the
hiding place and hurriedly planted the
pole in the prepared hole. Sergeant Ryan
and Officer Hammer had resorted to a lit
tie strategy themselves, however, and as
soon as the pole was in place swooped
down on the workmen and carried them
off to the police station. The men gave
the names of Michael Lennon l.. L. Dut-
ton, William Smith, B. H. Winslow and

The bill for the week at the Palm Car
den is unusually good. There is an
abundance of clever dancing and singing
that made a hit with the audience last
evening. The performance opens with
laughable One-act comedy, ''Shanty
Town. and Jerry Sullivan brought down
the house with his clever and novel tum-
bling act. Miss Mollie Granger display
ed her capability as a toe dancer, and
the knock-about act Of Prior and Green
made a decided hit. Oida N. Armour,
the male impersonator, made herself
.favorite with the audience, and the first
appearance of Doyle and Granger, come
dams and dancers, struck a popular
chord. The other features of the long
and admirably selected bill are carefully
arranged to strike the popular taste.
Tomorrow night there will be an added
feature in a grand sparring contest be-
tween Moses Brooks and Capt King, both
boxers of more than local celebrity, who
will spar six rounds for a $50 purse. the
winner taking all, under the Marquis of

not the voice of God. There is saying,
something to the effect that patriotism is
the last resort of the scoundrel. Patriot
ism is mostly akin to buncombe. We have
had an uncommon allowance of the com
modify expended of late. Unfortunately
for himself, big share of 1t was poured
over the devoted figure of Admiral
Dewey
1t would not be too much to say that
when George Dewey, in command of the
Asiatic squadron, sailed into Manila har-
Dor on that memorable day, he had as
little feeling of doing anything outside
the line of his plain duty as he had, for
Instance, when he was being blown into
the air away back Ill the COS by the ex-
plcsion of Confederate submarine mines
That he was in no hurry to have launched
at him the cannonades of speeches and
receptions which overwhelmed him in
New York a short time ago, having
avoided them for an entire year after the
event by remaining at his post of duty,
tends to the belief that he held such nom
sense at its true worth
When, afterwards, Admiral Dewey con-
scented to accept the ownership of an
expensive piece of property paid for by
public subscription. he, poor man, doubt
less thought that he was doing no more
than indicating the profound sense of
thankfuness with which he regarded all
the so-called honors bestowed on him.
He was sadly mistaken. AS long as 1t
had been openly averred that he had po-
litical ambitions and he had failed
to disavow the averment, it was foolish
for him to accept any favor whatever
from the general public. He thereby
to his enemies. 1t would have been queer,
indeed, had he not been made to rue his
own innocence or folly
Even now, when the blatant vulgarity
and indecency of the entire attack on the
admiral is steadily forcing itself on the
public attention, the tone Of public dis
ity. HE was a great man, but he made
a mistake. Don't be too severe upon
him. He isn't politician, and he couldn't
be expected to understand just what was
coming when he made that conveyance
This is the spirit which underlies the pub
lie admission that the story told Of him
was UNANIMOUSLY and totally false. 1t is
only when the individuat citizen stops to
convey to Dewey the sense Of shame
with which he regards the abuse and
falsehood heaped upon the brave and
guileless sailor that that gentleman has
reason to retain his faith in his kind.
The lesson of it all Is that the American
politician, high or low, when he is In
the pursuit Of his political purposes, Is
no better than wild beast; that he will
rarely stop at any infamy whatever to
accomplish his purpose. Admiral Dewey S
popularity was his undoing. The poll
ticians and the yellow journals, whose
presidential candidate he could not be
regarded as being, united to ruin him.
They have accomplished all they set
out to do; and nothing can ever restore
to the admiral his lost prestige
