De March, Makes a Hit
in Role Of the
Soldier.
Seygard Very Pleasing
Under Most Trying
Conditions.
By Blanche Partington.

Y T was a friendly though small house
that gathered to hear Carmen" last
night at the Grand Opera-house, with
Camille Seygard in the title role.
= There was the natural regret for
Calves non-appearance, but the audience
was good tempered and determined evil
IDENTIFY to make the best of things.
Carmen" might better have been titled
don Jose" last night, De Marchi in the
role carrying off most of the honors. De
Marchrs work grows on one. His voice
improves with acquaintance and he was
at his best last night as Don Jose. His
Rudolfo in La Boheme" of last Sunday
night showed him-a actor of ample intel
ligence as well as spirited and dramatic
singer and his Don Jose deepens both i'm
pressions. He was Immediately en- rap
port with the part, singing and acting it
better than any one we have had here,
to a fiatteringA appreciation by the audi
ence.
Mime. Seygard who has frequently sub
stituted for Calve in the part, was the
Carmen. Nine. Seygard is not CalVe, of
course, but gave a neat rendering of the
role that must be received with the defer
ence and gratitude due to the substitute
on all occasions and in all places. She
has a good, full contralto voice, not start
ling in quality, nor very brilliantly used,
but pleasing and fitted to the part Mime.
Seygard was naturally nervous, and in
addition to the rather trying conditions
had only once rehearSed the role with De
Marchi-whO himself sang his part in
French for the first time last night. The
singer seems to lack rather on the tenn
peramental side, but looked a pretty
gypsy and seemed to please the house.
Scott repeated his excellent Escamillo,
receiving again a rousing encore for the
''Toreador" song, to which he responded; !;
Mr.. Declery was weak Zuniga. as be-
fore; Mr.. Gilbert and Mr. Reiss were
again very good brigands and Miss Bau-
ermeister and Nine. Van Cauteren were
effective as Frasquita and Mercedes.
Suzanne Adams as Michaela did even
better, and it was very good, than on
Wednesday evening.
This afternoon Eames will again be
heard in her lovely Elsa in "Lohengrin -
with Van Dyck as the Silver Knight and
Schumann-Heink in her best part as
Ortrud

ing Sembrich, De Reszke, Campanari and

secure all possible protection from the evils
herein set forth.
Votes of thanks were extended to the
chairman, executive committee, press and
others.
While waiting for Rev. Peter c. Yorke
to put in an appearance requests for
speeches were made and Senator Bulla
was forced to take the platform, and he
said in part:
1 am only going to say from the stage what
I attempted to say at my seat, that do not
think that this is the time for me to make any
remarks to this convention In the nrst place,
with some other devoted souls, l was at work
until . clock this morning on the memorial
and the resolutions, and we have been at work
all day on them, with what success you have
Just heard l will only say in addition to that
that 1 want to emphasize the necessity and
the importance of continued watchfuinesS on
the part of the executive committee of this
convention. I never have yet known a cause
so Just that ii could win itself, or would care
for itself. 1t must have constant attention,
anxious and energetic attention to make it
succeed.
I believe that the Congressional delegation
from the State of California is able l know it
will be watchful for the purpose of carrying
out the object of this convention; but 1 say
to you that with all of the multfarious duties
that will be imposed upon them in the city
of Washington, they will need assistance from
the outside: they must have it in order 20
succeed as We expect them to succeed in the
efforts which we have inaugurated here to-
day And so the crowning effort of this con-
vention should be in the selection of a proper
committee of an earnest and enthusiastic COM
mittee to attend at Washington to assist our
delegation there in carrying out the purposes
of this convention.
I thank you very kindly gentlemen, for
calling me ADDlause.)

Chinese Are Alarmed.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Nov. 22.-
According to advices from the Orient
brought by the steamship Kinshiu Maru,
which arrived to-day, considerable ex-
citement prevails in China over the atti-
tude of the United States relative to the
large number of Celestials now in China
who are entitled to return to the United
States. AS the present exclusion law ex-
pires in May, 1902, the basis of the fears
of the Chinese is that a new law will be
enacted of such a stringent nature that
many of the privileged class will be
barred from returning and hundreds are
preparing to rush to the United States
before the law expires.

There was luIl in the proceedings un-

have a different way OF looking at tnlngs.
And they have this, gentlemen, which is the
most important Of all: They have sucn
power of numbers that what perhaps they
might not be able to accomplish by the su-
periority of their morality or by their more
acute ingenuity, they can do by brute force
The greatest man that ever lived is poweriess

Chinese civilization is not our civilization. be-
cause their ideals and their outlook are diff
ferent from ours. because they would build ur
here something that would be entirely con-

reason why every American, no matter whether
he lives upon the Pacific Coast. or on the

Attendance Is Reduced
Owing to Change
Of Singers.
Sybil Sanderson Net Able
to Appear Sunday
Night.

"CHE inability of Madame 'Calve TO
sing in Carmen last evening at
the Grand Opera house made big
difference in the size of the audi
- ence.
The house had been sold out well in adj
vance, but when ticket-holderss learned
yesterday morning that Calve could not
sing there was big rush to the box Of
flee of the theater to exchange seats for
other nights when Calve is announced to
appear.
That Manager Grau and his associates
have the sincere sympathy of the public
in the matter was displayed yesterday by
very few persons asking for the return
of money for tickets for last nights per-
formance.
Manager .Grau is indeed unfortunate
this season in the weather affecting the
health of some of his stars. AS ii the
impresario did not have trouble enough,
he learned last night that Sybil Sanderson
was suffering from a severe cold and
would not be able to sing in LES Hugue-
nOtS" tomorrow night.
Nine. Camille Seygard undertook a diff
1icult task last night in appearing as
theater presented many vacant boxes and
seats in orchestra, dress circle and gal
leries, but those present were generous
to a degree in the matter of comforting
applause.
There was an absence of display of rich
dresses by the ladies and there was alb
solutely no promenading between the
acts. Even the curious who gather to
watch the buds, bellies, matrons and men
alight from their carriages did not gather
in front of the opera-house, and Captain
Of Police Spillane and his men had an
easy time.
There was no disposition on the part OF
the audience to compare Nine. Seygard
to Calve, as it would have been manifest
ly unfair to the brave singer who under
took the role last night under most try
ing circumstances.
Nine. Seygard is beautiful woman and
she charmed all by her dashing presence
and dramatic force. De Marchi, the
tenor, who for the first time sang Don
Jose in French, and Scotti, the Toreador
and the balance of the cast were all re-
cipients of applause and recalls to the
footlights.
This afternoon 'Lohengrin" will be
given, with Eames, Schumann-Heink
Van Dyck, Bispham, Muhlmann and
Blass in the cast. The bill for tonight
is III Barbiere di Siviglia," with Sem
brich, Campanari, Salignac, Bauermeis-
ter and De ResZke in the principal roles
In the lesson scene Sembrich will sing
'Voce di Primavera," composed for hel
by Johann Strauss.
Tomorrow evening LES Huguenots'
will be given at popular prices, presenting
Gadski, Louise Homer, Bauermeister
Dippel, Scott, Muhlmann, Bars. Dufriche
and Suzanne Adams in the cast. The
superb aggregation of talent for the Sun
day night offering is causing a big de-
mand for seats.

THE LOSCHWITZ RAILWAY.

The new railway at LoschwitZ was opened to traffic on May 6, 1901, and is said to be the first mountain railway of its kind for the conveyance of passen- gers in he world ]; runs from Losch- witz. a village on the banks of the riv- CT Elbe. about five miles from Dresden. to the top of the Ros,hwitz Heights, which commands most beautiful view of the SaZOn capital. The railway Is 20 metres (S50 feaO long, with a gra- dlent of 32 per cent. and is constructed according to the "Langen" system. Thriy-three iron piers of different heights, weighing about 200 tons, the highes. being fifteen metres t49.2 feeD carry the rails on which the care are hurg.
 Each car holds fifty passengers and weighs, when occupied. 12.S tons. Their shape and construction differ entirely from all her railway cars, and even from those us sd by the Barmen- Eber- field suspension railway. A steel cable A millimetres Q.7 inches) in diameter connects the TWO trains and locks them firmly together. It is operated by two powerful machines of 80 horse power each, stationed at the top terminus of the road. The cable has a stretch of fiexure of 5000 kilogrammes (209.4 .473 pounds). Particular attention and care have been given to devices to insure the safety of the passengers, and to regulate the running of the cars. A most ingenious signal system-with Ixric nd elf n regulate the arrival and departure of the trains. and is operated from both the lower and upper stations. Each car is provided with danger signal appa- ratus. consisting of an alarm and 8 tel ephone. which enables the conductor to communicate from any point of the road with the engine house. Each car is provided with three brakes-system Bucher- Durer--two of which work au- tomatically at the least slackenng of the tension of the cable and stop the car. The third brake can be operated by hand from the platform of the car from hand attached to the disk upon which the cable is rolled, the engineer can always obtain the exact position of the cars upon the road, and an auto matic bell warns him if the train is run ming too fast.
 The greatest safety consists in an au- tomatic brake. both at the lower and the top station, which is put into action by the arriving car and stops it, no matter how careless the engineer may be.
 The fare Is 20 pfennigs 4.76 cents) up and and 10 pfennigs (2SS cents) down; return ticket, 25 pfennigs (5.95 cents). Reduced rates are allowed institutions, societies, school children, laborers. etc
