x Thc Opening Brill.

The new Ssepgerbund hall was opened
last night under the most favorable aus
pieces, and the several hundred people VINO
were present. at the christening were full
sorne in their congratulation OF the Sacn-
Eerbund upon securing such handsome
home.
The new he'll is located in the Thiri
building corner of San Jacnto aud Pres
ton. occuIyins the entire SECOND floor III
The building, with one OF the largest and
best equipped stages In the city outside VI
tie 81 era house. It's seating capacity is
about 500. On the lower floor is the bar
and club room, entirely separated from
The hall. Another thing in favor of the
new hall is that its acoustics are goou
as evidenced last night In listening to the
inusic ofEthe orchestra and the singin,s OF
The Ssengerbund The lower iloUr was
used last night forthe supper room. while
the hall above was devoted TO dancing
Both upstairs and down we're tastefuliy
4 decorated for the occasion.
The Houston Saengerbund was organized
May 20, 1884, and incorporated under the
laws of the State on June 80, 1890; charter
granted for fifty years The principles and
tenets OF the Saengerbund are promotion
of art. social intercourse and amusement
Tor its membership.
It's aim has always been 10 furnish
wholesome entertainments. which has been
successfully accomplished, as is clearly
shown by the appreciatiyc attendance at
These Popular musical and dramatic enter
tainD,onts.
The membership at present stands at
lub, active aud passive members. The ad-
mission fee and monthly dues arc very
moderate 50 as to enable every one 10
join.
The .saerigerhund has attended seven
State Saengerfests, and under its auspices
two State Saengerfests have been held in
licrston-the fifteenth state Saengerfest
in iSS5 and tho twentieth in 1891.
The first home of the organization was
TIE Houston Turnverein, where the so
ciety met for number Of years. and then
temporarily occupied the upper story of
the Casino restaurant. from there to the
hall corner Preston and Caroline in 1892,
which was occupied till recently.
In October. 1898. IL was decided to OBJ
tain more eommodious quarters. and the
society selected the Thiel building. corner
San Jacinto and Preston streets. where
the new club rooms have been fitted UP.
The securing of this new hall and home
for the Saengerbund Is very largely due
to the energy of Mr. Gus r. Sauter, the
present president of the organization.

DEWEY AN EXPANSIONlST.

New York Journal (democratic.) "Ad-
mlral Dewey is a eXpansionist-he stands
Tor the permanent retention of the Philip
pines by the United States. His opinion
is that after the Filipinos have acknowl-
eo&ed the sovereignty of the United
States they shall be treated with ali
kindness and consideration and that the
best way to do this is to establish a gov
ef1lment or governments in the a~rcllipe-
lago like that of the territories OF the
united states. In other words, Admlra
W believes that the process of the
ulhted States in. forming territories
should be followed in the Philippine
stands. Admiral Dewey has quite re-
Gently c~rystallized his views as to the
future of the islands into definite opin-
IONS IN favor of expansion. Since he
came to Washington he has explained
that what he meant by 'salf-government'
or the fllipinos was self-government as it
IS understood in the territories and states
OF the union. He believes that the Fill
pliioS are not now. nor can possibly for
years be, capable of self-government IN
TIE sense that they can rank with the
nations of the world. and that the first
step toward fitting them for any kind of
government would naturally be to gov
erh them as the people in our territories
are governed. Admira Dewey does no.
deny thai he has spoken in high terms of
the capacity of the Filipinos, but he has
at no time said they We're such q race as
We're entitled to or could be granted either
independence or the right to choose their
own rulers. Admiral Dewey believes
that a territorial form of government for
Flilplnos Will last for an indefinitely long
period"
lnese statements We're made by a high
government official to the Journal to-
uaV. With the understanding that they
might be disseminated as an authorita-
tiE" explanation Of Admiral Dewey's po-
sitlon on this important question. In
brief, Admiral Dewey is an e~xparsion-
lst absolutely. and publications e~ndeavc.-
ing to create the impression that he fav-
ors the withdrawal of American troops
from the archipelago. or the surrender
OF the islands to the rule of a small pro-
portion OF the inhabitants. are false. The
high character of the official making this
announcement can be vouclled for by
tte Journal correspondent. who is aware
or the tact that the admiral and the in
toTant have had several lengthy con-
yersations both here and in New York.
1t is only fair to add that the official in
question drew the conclusion from his
statement Of facts that the president aud
the admiral are a unit on his question:.
allhough that conclusion does not neces-
sarily follow, and is stated for it's o,yi-
Gus political effect.
It is clear that both Professor Schur-
man and the admiral agree on the gen.
eral proposition that the American flag
shall not come down in the PHILIPPINES
and the Philippine commissions re, Aprt.
to be prepared in November. will make
that point. There may be a difference of
opinion among the commissioners as to
how the islands should be governed.
