Chorus. Bnown as the Wednesday club. has had several years of festival expert enee, but the work undertaken by the Bir- mingham Chorus is stupendous. compared with it. For example, in Richmond the largest choral work will be Mendeissohn's Hymn of Praise" which requires only about three-duaftefs of an hour in rendi- tion. In Birmingham the chief choral work will be Hayden's immortal oratorio, The Creation" which will take up nearly the entire programme of the first night. And the fugal work In 'tThe Creation" is much more different than that in Hymn Of Praise" There Is operatic selections. Bir- mingham is far ahead of Richmond. Nothing that is found on Richmond's sec ond night programme is so difficult to master as :"Olaf Trygvasson," and nothing in the way of dramatic music could be more popular. This work of Griggs is exceeding ly hard on the singers and the orchestra, but for the audience to follow, few great works will be found easier. Much of it is sung in unison. And finally in the Rich mond programme no grand instrumental composition appears, whereas, Birmingham is to have Beethovens fifth symphony. Raff's elegant concerto, and two or three other important instrumental works to say nothing of orchestral music in lighter vein. The Age-Herald does not wish to brag or make unseemly ado over Birmingham's proud rank in the musical world, but this city may well felicitate itself of the fact that a comparison with one of the oldest and most cultured cities in the country results so favorably for Birmingham, as- sumed, of course, that our claims will ac- quit themselves as well in the festival as they do now in rehearsal.
 In this connection it is of interest to know that several of the prominent papers of the United States have signified their intention of printing extensive reports of the May Festival. The Cincinnati Volksbatt, the leading German daily of America, with only one exceptioni will devote much space to Birmingham music.

Teller and Shafroth Favor Main
 taining the Organization.
PREDICT VICTORY IN 1900
Democrats will Reaffirm the Platform of 1896, and Alliance With Popu- lists and Silver Republicans
 will be Perfected.

e Denver, Col, April 19.-United States Senator Teller ard Congressman Shafroth, in statement published today, emphatically declare in favor of maintaining the silver organization, not only in Colorado, but throughout the union. They say that the silver question will be the paramount issue in 1900.
 Mir Teller says that the gold democrats will not be able to control the democratic convention, and as in 1896 they will support the republican candidate He says the democratic convention will reaffi1m the platform of 1896 and that the party must and will be allied with the silver republican party and the populst party, both of which must maintain their organizations and lend all their aid to win victory in the battle of 1900.
 q cannot conveive of political situation that will induce me to favor union with the Mckinley republicans" said Senator Teller. "The republican financial system is wrought with danger to the country and one well calculated to make the rich richer and the poor poorer The republican party favors a large standing army in time of peace, of not less than 100000 men at an expense of not less than $125OOO,0OO to S15O,- 0O0,O0O to S15OG00,0G0 per annum. It admits the purpose to increase this army in pro- portion as the population of the country shall increase.
 "The republican party is so thoroughly dominated by trusts, syndicates and com pines that I have no hope of relief in that quarter. l thoroughly believe that the continued administration of the government as now controlled threatens the very exist ence of free government"
 MT. Teller expresses no prefernce as to candidates but MT. Shafroth suggests the nomination of Bryan and Towne. He says there is complete silver organization in thirty-two states and at least that number will be represented in the national conven- finn

RODRIGUEZ TO
 SUCCEED MENOCAL
Will be Chief of Police Force of
 Havana.
RANKS AS MAJOR GENERAL
In the Cuban Army, was Chief of Staff to General Gomez and Proved a Guerrilla Chief of Extraordi-
 nary Activity

Havana, April 19.-Alexandro Rodriguez has been appointed chief of police of Ha- vana to succeed Mario Menocal, who re- signed today. Rodriguez holds the rank of major-general in the Cuban army, and is chief of staff of General Gomez. He is con- sidered, moreover, second to Gomez alone in the affections of the Cuban soldiery
 The new nomination is approved by Cu- bans and Spanish alike. The United States military authorities who knew Rodriguez well think that they have at last found man strong enough to discipline the force and make it capable of meeting the exigen- cies of the case Rodriguez, who was wounded three times during the last insur- rection, was a spirited fighter and guerrilla chief of extraordinary activity.
 The Cuban army troops are being ex- amined by name by large staff of clerks. Out of a total of 42,127 privates and non- commissioned officers, 2,A2 have been eliminated; 1173 as persons who have en- listed since the surrender of Santiago and 669 as government employees at present. Of the remainder, 39.S9O Captain Forest in- forms the administration that all or nearly all, can be relied on to appear for a share of the $3,0O0,O00. In that case the individual share may be about $75, with nothing left for the officers. The inquiry as to the num- Der of former soldiery in the government service shows four officers and one private. About 2,500 officers are in the island ser- vice.
 Many of the officers are as poor as the privates and several suggestions have been brought forward for their relief, but mono is considered available except their pro- posal to employ as many as possible in rural police duty.
