HAZLEToN, Pa, Oct. 9.-President
Mitchell refused to say anything about
what the convention would decide to
do i'll the matter Of the 10 per cent net
increase. Neither would he anticipate
what business other than that relating z
to the advance i'll wages would be
brought before the delegates. 1t is not
unlikely that the adjustment of the
sliding scale will come in for some Con.
sidcration. None of the labor leaders
here will publicly say whether the in.
crease will be accepted or rejected but
there is strong belief that the men in
convention Will vote to 60 back TO
work.
Now that the convention is Ger.
tainty, there is feeling Of relief in the
entire region and it is confidently ex-
pected that week will see the mine
workers going back to the mines.

There Is no mistaking the fact that
"Hiawatha" is frat favourite at this
Festival. The great triennial event It
self is altogether more popular than
any of its predecessors, and for the first
time within the memory of the leading
officials all the tickets for all the con-
certs are disposed of. But the high
tide Of public favor was reached with
Mr.. Coleridge Tsylor's new work. Du
Ting the numerous rehearsals the verdict
has gradually become unanimous and
emphatic, and the discovery has been
made thas the third part, now publicly
perform ed fer the first time, Is In No
way inferior to its predecessors, while
it Introduces much perfectly new

Mr.. Blacks song, in which Hiawatha
seriously interprets Iagoo's stories, and
applies them to the coming of the
white man, were finely sung. This
composition Is worthy to rank with
'Onawsy" for its strength and skiIlful
orchestra embroidery. The prophetic
description of his countrymen's down
fall is emphasized by the deep throbs
of the bass strings. "By the shore Of
Gitche Ounce" Is q powerful chorus,
full of exuberant life, in which
FRESH HcFoURs WERE woN,
and the soprano solo, From the brow

Madame Albani, The chorus "And the
noble HiaWatha" brought out the full
power Of the chorus and orchestra. 1t
was pleasant to see the delighted ex'
pressiOns with which the series Of en-
tirely new phrases and Trhythms were
received by the audience, the music be-
ing much more refined than IN the
earlier portions Of the work. The or
chestral setting is charming at this
point. The harmony Introducing the
chorus, "Then the generous Hiawatha,"
is wonderfully rich. The ingenious in

called forth all the energies of the

scene when Mr.. Taylor ascended the

NEGRO COLLEGE ORATOR
Chosen to Represent Indiana University
at the State Oratorical Contest.

Indianapolis, Nov. 24.-The first col
ored student that will represent his in.
stitution In the State collegiate oratori'
cal contest is Willis Oliver Tyler, now
student at the Indiana University at
Bloomington. The primary contest, to
select representative from the college
to the State contest, which includes
representatives from each of the colleg
es of Indiana, was held last night and
Tyler carried off the honors. There were
10 orations submitted to the faculty
and six of these were accepted and the
authors ordered to deliver them so that
Judgment might be rendered upon ex-
preston, manner and other points in
delivery. The markings OF the judges
showed that Tyler had triumphed ca
silly.
Tyler is e years old and was born in
Bloominton, where the State Universi-
ty is situated. He graduated from the
high school at the head of his class. He
is now working his way through the
university by taking care Of some Of the
club rooms and the rooms of more for
tunats students. 1t is admitted that
he deserved the honor he has received.

last nights complete rendering was
locked forward TO Sc q certain triumph
both for "Hiswstha" and Its composer,
whose interesting personality, by the
way, was an added attraction. When
DR.. Richter took his place the hall was
packed from floor to ceiling, and
scores stood under the orchestra, where
the only view available was that Of the
audience. Yet We should rot be sur.
pfised If these least fortunate OF the

for their money for the sight Of the

been taken from the particular decora-
tion which had been found favour with
with the chorus. The large number of
diamonds which glitteEed in all di-
rections spoke of prosperity at least
equal to the excellent taste in dress. 1t
was ia no critical spirit that the aud
,ence settled down to the hearing of
"Hiawatha"-rather with q confident
expectation of feast in store, and the
hearers were not disappointed.

miration. Hr. Lloyd sang the solo with
irresistible pathos and expression.
Madame AIbani had q most gratifying
reception on taking her place by DR..
Richter for the second part. The deep
pathos and poignant suffering de
scribed In this section are at once sug
gested in the extremely powerful or
chestral opening. The misery Of the
famine are set forth in heartrending
tones, and the poetical fancy which

figure is maintained against the vocal
description of the obsequies Is among
the clever achievements of the COM
poser. The farewell song of "Hia-
