ceiEed his musical education and from
his sixth to his sixteenth year she alone
gave him instruction. BY mere chance. in
1876 tn" famous Rubiust.in heard Sauer
play. and was 80 impressed with his ability
that he urged his brother. NikolauS Rubin
stein, to take hold of the boy and make
him A great pianist. After receiving s.y-
eral months instruction from Rubinstein.
Sauer made hs debut in North Germany
where he was So favorably received that
he was induced TO brave the criticism of
cultured London. His success there vas

known. In 1855 and lSS4 he made a tour
of SPAN and Italy. and the queens Of both
countries, for whom he gave special con-
certS, as well as the people generally. were
profoundly impressed with his work and
he was proclaimed everywhere as the great

OBJECT OF SALiSBURYS ENVY
England's Premier Pays Compliment to Our
Foreign Relations Committee
Answers Lord kimberley's InterpeIIa-
tions-Refers to SOudan. China
and Cars Rescript.

In the course of his remarks in answer to
interpretations by Lord Kimberley in the
British parliament yesterday Lord Sails
bury remarked that he frequently envied
a nation possessing a committee of foreign
relations like the United States-a commit
tee which could secretly receive explana-
tions that ministers were only too glad to
give. But as Great Britain was without
that feature of parliamentary government
it would be impossible for him to give the
noble lord (Ear1 of Kimberley all the in
forma ton he desired regarding foreign af-
fairs.
Lord Salisbury referred at length to Chi
ma. He said the policy of her majestys
government di,. not contemplate the ac-
QUESTION of territory in China or the dis
memberment of the Chinese empire The
destiny of China, his lordship added was
impossible to foretel as it was to reveal
what was occurring. on a certain island
within certain palace at Peking.
All that her majesty's government was
concerned with at present was to see that
the treaties are fully observed; that the
interests of British subjects are safeguard
ed, and that nothing is done by either
China or any other nation to compromise
their rights.
Referring to the Soudan. the premier said
that Great Britain held dominion by the
title arising from the fact that the Soudan
formed part of the territories of Egypt, and
also by the less complicated and more easi-
ly understood title of conquest. Any re
Vival of the claims of titles which events
had swept away could moi be sustained by
historical precedent or International law.
So far as the cars rescrpt was concern
ed, Lord Salisbury said, no one could doubt
the purity and humanity of the emperors s
motives. Il should heartily rejoice" he
continued ''f the conference achieved a
humber aim, and if by the steady use OF
the principle of arbitration we might be
able to diminish a number of the causes
by which war is produced, If by humane
legislation We could also diminish the hor-
rors of war We would render an immeas-
urablte service to humanity.
Meanwhile We must follow the example
of other nations and be prepared for war.
l do not believe this is imminent, but the
causes of war still subsist, and while doing
our best in the blessed mission of peace We
must maintain the position Of security
which past generations have given US and
which we hope to keep"

OVER THE ARMY BILL,
Another Struggle to BE Made in the
Senate

The ratification Of the peace treaty does
not restore peace and harmony in the SEN
ate. The prospects are that there will be a
continuous struggle until the end OF the
session.
The struggle now will be over the army
bill. While the majority feel that they
have everything arranged to get the bill
through the Senate there is a determined
minority TO contend with. The purpose OF
the minority is that there shall be no au-
thorization of a permanent increase Of the
army, such as provided for in the Hull bill.
There is no doubt that on a vote the army
bill would pass the Senate in a form en-
tlrely satisfactory to the President The
intention Of the majority managers is 10
hurry the appropriation bills through, 50
as To get them out of the way and leave
time enough TO complete the other legisls-
ton desired.
1t Will be in the power of the minority
however. 10 make the work on appropria-
tions drag. consuming most of the TWEEN
ty-one working days that remain to this
Congress, and thus blocking the way OF
the army bill Whenever this bill comes
up there will be a long debate over il. and
no unanimous consent TO fix a time for a
vote can be had without a compromise.
Therefore there is a decided danger that
there viii be no army legislation beyond
what the minority is willing there should
bean extension Of the authority Of the
President TO maintain the present estab-
hshment of the war basis for one year
