TEMPORARY BOUNDARY
viii Soon Be Established On the
Alaskan frontier.

Washington, Oct. 1S.-Secretary Hay
had a conference today with Mr.. Tower
the charge of the British embassy here
relative to the Alaskan modus vivendi:
The secretary had already given con-
sideratiOn to the last proposition of the
British government and was prepared
to submit the answer from the United
States which in this case takes the
form of another proposition. This last
proposition differs in no essential from
that which has already served as the
basis OF the agreement between Secre-
tary Hay and Mr.. Tower, but upon close
scrutiny of the latest form it was
deemed advisable by our government
to make a few changes in the text sole
~ with the view to clearing up beyond
any chance of double construction, a
few of the points of the agreement. 1t
is not doubted that the changes will be
acceptable to the British government.
Indeed, they may be Of a character
which will warrant Mr.. Tower in ac-
cepting them on his own responsibility
In such case the agreement may be rat
flied in a very short time. Mr.. Tower
may decide however TO submit the
changes to the foreign Office by cable,
in which case the completion of the
agreement may be delayed for a day or
two. There will be no formal document
to receive the signatures of the parties
to the agreement as was the case IN the
negotiations of the Boring sea mOdus
viVendi but the agreement defining the
temporary boundary viii be set out in
the notes exchanged between Secretary
Hay and Mr. Tower.

THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Topeka is apparently hopeless on the
question Of Italian grand opera. The
audience that heard the Lambard1 com
pany in Verdi's masterpiece at the
era WORD theater Tuesday night was
but little larger than the audience that
heard his "RigolettO'' on the previous
evening.
1t was COMPOSED largely of the same
people which fact but adds to the hope
lessness of the situation. 1t shows that
those who care to hear grand opera in
the Italian tongue are included in a
limited circle. Incidentally however
the fact was compliment to the work
of the company
The music Of Verdf's 'sRigoletto'' is
beautiful, but that of II TrOvatOre" is
more beautiful. 1t abOunds in harmony
and expression. 1t was heard to much
better advantage last night than it has
been heard here before.
But the cast that sang II Tr0VatOres
was not as satisfying as the cast of
s.RfgolettO'' the night before This is
not a criticism of the competency of
the principals, because each OF the
Guartette of great roles in Verdi $
grand opera was capably handled, but
the work of SignOr Russo and SlgnOrIna
SOstengi. and that of SignOr Bugamelli
on the previous night was OF a class TO
demand exceptional appreciation. Only
in comparison to the voices heard In
..Rigoletto'' did those of II TrOVatOre'
fall short in artistic satisfaction
The tenor of Signor Badaroceo is not
more powerful and not as pleasing as
that of Signor Russo. 1t is a great
voice Notwithstanding, and his Man
rico was on the whole excellent The
baritone Of Signor Galzzi suffered some
what in comparison with that of Sig
nor BumageIIi. It is a full rounded and
rneIodious voice in the higher passages,
but at other times sinks to too mild q
degree
ColIamarini. the phenomenal mezzo
soprano OF the company, did not sing
the part of 'Leonora" last night IN
stead it was taken by SignOrina Bar
ducci, who, although possessing a
strong, clear voice, is hardly an excep-
tionaI soprano. However, but little
fault could be found with her rendition
Of the role.
The most difficult work of III Trova-
tore is seen in the part of '-Azucena,' -
and the performance of Signorina Pol
Iettfni was wholly satisfactory. Her
singing was the most dramatic of the
principals. and her powerful cOntraIto
voice was heard with every advantage
in the role.
The chorus last night, as on the pre-
vious night, proved itself the weakest
feature of the company
The Lambardi company has no inten-
ticn of revisiting Topeka. and Topeka
people will not have another oppOrtun-
ity here of hearing grand opera equal,
probably, to the higher priced New
York record organizations

THE TEXAS IDEA.
Ex-Gov. Hogg q Supporter offs vigor-

Austin, Tex, Oct. lex Governor J.

1T is now the duty of the United

already expanded
When the $50, 600 900 which the last
congress voted for that purpose was
paid to Spain for the Philippines the
United States got all the title there was
to those islands. We have expanded in
defiance of the Texas Democratic plat
form. The Philippines now belong to
the United States. 1t is for the next
congress to say what we shall do with
