formances of the Sibelungen Ring.
"Siegfried" was reached last night In the
representations Of the Nibelungen Ring cur
rent now at the METROPOLITAN Opera House.
The audience was large. although not
SO numerous as that which heard "Dio
Walknre" on Tuesday. so. even in a
production Of the cyclic after the Bay
reuth fashion, the public seems TO show its
preference for the single works. The largest
audience is expected next Tuesday. when
"G0tterdAmmerung" will bring the first
series to n close.
The larger gathering on last Tuesday had a
greater significance in view Of the fact that
Die Walknre" was then sung for the fourth
time. although 'Siegfried had been heard
only once this season before last night.
Then the singers were in the main iden-
teal with those that appeared last night.
Nine INA appeared as Brunnhilde in
place Of Nine. Nordica. while Nine. Schu-
mann-Heink srpplanted Nine. Meisslinger
as Erdd. Andreas Dippel was again Seiotried,

that was temporary, and he ended the
evening triumphantly. His first appearance
here as Sielfried scarcely suggested the COM
plete success which he made last night. In
movement and attitude he illustrated the
youthfulness OF the hero as no one has done
since Max Alvary.

OF Der WdBde1'er, which established his reputa-

Pringle was a good Fdtnet. Nine. Lehmann's
R,tpOthiIde is one of her most famous roles
and requires neither praise nor description
now. Nine. Schumann-Heink sang the music
of Erdd with superb sonorousness and the
dramatic eloquence which she imparts to
every rdle she interprets.
Herr Schalk conducted. and the orchestra
was much more spirited than at the previous
production of the opera under his direc-
ton. He was as much improved. as Herr
Dtppel. There were some failures in
the spectacular effects. The anvil gave out
sparks before S%ie0fried had touched IL, and his
sword rested long in the cold wafer before the
steam arose: but these were only details in n
performance up to the standard that this fine
series has set.
The restorations came chiefly in the scenes
between MN and Wotan in the first act and
in the prolongation of Fdfner's agonies in the
second. The dragon was visible to half the
audience before SiPgtr led had seen him and be-
fore he had been heard in the orchestra.

Mr.: Gericke lacks that rare, quality Of, per-
Sonal magnetism: this is plainly evident IN the

sounded extremely perfunctory.

Filipino Chief Gave Americans
Three Days to Get Out.
VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. 6.-The
steamer Esmeralda, leaving Manila
Jan. 10. arrived at Hong Kong Jan. 16.
Passengers said that on the 10th Agui-
naldo had issued his twelfth and last
proclamation which amounted to an
ultimatum. In effect it gives the Amer
leans three days in which to make up
their minds what to do-'get out or
fight" In consequence of this ulti-
matum, Europeans living in the out
skirts moved into the city, and Gen.
Otis quickly prepared for the worst.
Aguinaldo is said to favor peace at
any price. His followers have not been
paid for three months, and they de-
manded from Aguinaldo immediate
payment or the loot of Manila Hav-
Ing no money to pay them, the soldiers
got beyond the control of their COM
mander. An American citizen on the
Esmeralda said:
ON Wednesday, Jan. 10, the Ameri-
can soldiers were lolling about in their
aimless way, having the appearance
of men on whose hands time hangs
heavily. The streets were crowded,
and business was in full swing, but
every ones nerves seemed to be on
edge, as if disaster was imminent and
anticipated. All at once a great crowd
came rushing down the road. 1 heard
the bugle sound sharply in dozen
places, calling the soldiers to quarters,
and in five minutes not a boy in blue
could be seen on the escolta. On seeing
the Americans in mass, the insurgents
retired in quiet order.'

PARIS, Feb. 10.-Late this afternoon
there was some excitement on the
streets caused by the shouting of the
rival parties. A crowd of anti-rev1-
slonists. on finding themselves unable
to gain admission to a meeting that
was being addressed by M. Quesnay
de Beaurepaire, moved off and demon
strated at the office of the minister of

demonstration became rather threat
ening and ended in a scuff1e with the
police. who made numerous arrests.
/ Strong police guards are posted every
where, and these have prevented
serious developments.
In his speech at the meeting M.
Quesnay de Beaurepaire stated that
unless the revision proceedings were
brought to an end it would entail
either civil or foreign war. Politicians
everywhere will share this opinion.
Nevertheless the chamber of deputies
is evidently in no mood for a minis
terial crisis, and@it is even said that
the open letters to the government by
M. Brisson and other prominent depu-
ties yesterday served to increase to-

SHEEP FROZEN TO DEATH.
Heavy Losses Suffered by Shippers
of Live Stock.


The past week Of cold weather has been
most detrimental to the local live stock intsr-
ests. and has been especially severe on ship
pers who have been unfortunate enough to
have stock on the road coming from long
distances. Long & Co., of Benton Mont,
lost about 325 sheep out Of train OF eleven
cars. When the men opened the cars at
South St. Paul to unload them 10 OF the
woolly animals were found frozen stiff and
about 800 more were so bsnumbed with the
cold that they had to be carried out OF the
cars OF this latter number more than lao
we're so badly frozen that they died after
having been unloaded. The loss will prove
a heavy one, the inspection laws forbid
the use of frozen animals for meat They
have to be sold for the value of their pelts,
and their carcases are made into fertilizer.
Previous to this loss Long & Co. and r.
Berry of Springdale. lost twenty-six head OF
sheep in one shipment.
Other shippers have also suffered severe
losses. but none that compared with the
above two. In one day the yard men at
South St Paul found forty-one head of cattle,
calves and hogs that had been crippled or
frozen in reaching the market. This loss.
however, was not noticeable. as it was
divided up among several shippers.
The losses in the yards have also been
quite heavy as there is practically no way

said he had not.

asked the witness abruptly if he was
innocent of the poisoning of Mrs. Ad-
ans. Molineaux replied:
II am absolutely innocent"
Molineaux told of his. connection with
the Knickerbocker and New York Ath-
letic clubs, and said that he had left
the former club largely because of his
quarrel with Cornish. He was asked
if he had known Henry c. Barnett, and
replied that he was a warm personal
friend of that man, friendship that
had lasted several years. He could
suggest no motive why any man should
send poison to Barnett Molineaux
then described the rooms at the Knick-
erbocker Athletic club on the second
floor, occupied by himself, Barnett,
Cornish and Adams. A fishing trip
on Morgan's yacht Victor, which had
been brought into the case, came into
discussion. Molineaux said he had
had several trips on the yacht, but
Barnett had never been with him.
He had met Miss Cheseborough on one
of these trips, being introduced to her
by her married sister.
