ing regarding Mr.. Farlsnd. Mr.. Far
land, assisted by the best local talent,

His work is almost marve lousy

and the effects secured are at times
very nearly incredible as musical re-
violation. In the Sonata and Concerto
especially were the really delicate pos
sibilities of what has heretofore been
classed as q crude musical instrume ut
made apparent. But each mum Der
given was distinctive triumph in ar
tistic completeness and a successive
surprise to the audience, the secret of
Mr.. Farland's success seeming to be,
first, a mastery and appreciation of the
high-class sele :tiOns chosen, and Sec
ond, an insight into the possibilities of
the banjo, which, up to this time, has
belonged to him alone in the study of
at instrument. 1t is safe to predict
that after last nights revelations he is
assured an enthusiastic reception in
ST. Louis for the future under his we'll
supported claim of rank es genuine

an absurdity. The MeXscsn govern

no possibility under that law of Mexico
'granting a concession, with or with

its territory. Secretary Limantour
would never dream of such an intru-
sion into American jurisdiction. An
other absurdity is the attempt TO trans
fer Topolobampo to Lower California:
this is very defective geography.
It is by such random stories as the
foregoing that the interests of Mexico
are prejudiced and the government dis
credited. Nothing whatever of q pro-
