1t is doubtful whether Canada will soon
again seek for a commercial alliance with
the United States The government leaders
have reached the conclusion that the time
is not oppCrtune, that the United States is
in too prosperous q condition to pay any
attention to the smaller details of com
merciai advancement. To cultivate the
trade of Europe, and especially of other
British colonies. is now the object of the
liberal party, and this scheme receives gen.
erai support among the people. Offended at
the lack of consideration and despairing of
any ratification of a reciprocity treaty by
the United States Senate. Canada will now
wait until the Americans take the initiative
or the atmosphere becomes more favor
able.
Remarkably little attention is paid in
the United States to Canadian affairs, and
this is fully realized by the Canadians.
Many government reports and columns of
space in the public prints are devoted to
a discussion of the best way to gain few
China or other out-of-the-way countries,
whereas within twenty four hours journey
of nearly every state in the Union lies a
market capable of absorbing a hundred
million dollars worth of American goods
more than are now shipped in that direc-
tion. The people of Canada are of one and
the same race. speak the same tongue and
have the same habits and customs as do
the people of the United States. That there
should be any drawback to a fair exchange
of commodities between the two nations is
certainly a political mistake.

an aspirant for the hand of Eva and he
discounts the chances of the young

Sachs agrees to allow Beckmesser to
sing, provided he is allowed to mark the

frankie Watson, Thirteen Year-Oid
Boy, Tells Romantic Story to
the Police.

A boy about 10 years of age was discov-
cred yesterday morning about o'clock
scratching window in Raphaeps store
on Kearny street with a long nail. Po-
liceman Ross attention was called to the
boy and he took him to the City Prison,
where he gave his name as frankie Wat
son and told romantic story, which
may have been evolved from his own
mas ination.
frankie said he belonged in Correction
vile, Iowa, a village about thirty miles
from Sioux City, where, for the last five
years. he had lived with his aunt Martha
Watson. About two weeks ago she said
she was going to San Francisco to meet
her husband and brought him with her.
They went to Santa Rosa and stopped at
the Magnolia Hotel. Saturday last his
aunt bought ticket for him to this city,
and after giving him a nickel told him her
husband would meet him at the ferry. No
one met him, and since then he had been
living on crackers and sleeping in a box
IN the rear of the Palace Hotel. His par
ents were dead and he had been told his
father was a cattleman and before he
died had given his aunt money to keep
him.
Judge Fritz sent him to the Boys and
Girls AID Society and a dispatch was
sent to Santa Rosa inquiring about his
aunt. A reply was received that nothing
was known about him or his aunt there.

MIND WRECKED
BY DISSIPATION
Carlton Kershow Claims
His Brother Was In
competent.
Contestants Seek to Prove
That His Will Is a
Forgery.

The inordinate desire that it is alleged
Max Kershow had for alcoholic stimu-
lants and the alleged effect of those slim
ulauts upon his mind were the subjects of
the inquiry yesterday in the contest
& over the viii of the deceased in De-
partment Nine Of the Superior Court
: Carlton kershOw, the brother TO whom
Max Aershow bequeathed but 5000 of his
100000 estate, occupied the stand almost
the entire day. His testimony was Of
fered 10 prove that Max Kershow, who
was a Harvard graduate, was a wreck,
mentally and physically, when the will
was drawn UP leaving the bulk of his
property to Rhea Ceilings
Carlton Kershow testifed that when he
came 10 this State in the fall of 1900 he
found his brother living at the Maison
Riehe and indulging to the full his
absinthe. The witness stated that at that
time he discovered that his brother, by
reason OF the enormous quantity of liquor
that he had imbibed, had become mental
~ incompetent. He claimed that his
brother took as high as twenty drinks a
day drank at his meals and had whisky
and wine in his rooms.
The witness stated that he went back to
his home in Philadelphia in November,
1900, and that when he returned to this
city again in June of this year, two weeks
before his brothers death, he found his
brother perfectly imbecile.
The deceased was confined to his bed,
the witness said. Alcoholic stimulants,
morphine and strYchnine had to be adj
minlstere6 TO him in order to keep in
operation the machinery of life. His men
tai incapaciIy manifested itself in the in
cOherency of his speech. the lapse of his
memory, his desire to squander his
money and in the mental visions which
r continually troubled him.
An attempt was made on the part Of the
contestants TO prove that bitter enmity
existed between Max KershOW and Morgan
Smith, the man who wrote and witnessed
the signing of the contested will. Carlton
KershOW testified that his brother had
had Smith. elected from his room on one
occasion. The court, however, refused to
allow evidence Of this nature to be intro
duced.
The contestants will seek to prove that
the entire will is a forgery. When the
signature on the will was shown to Carl
ton Kershow he declared that il did not
accord with the signature usually exc
cuted by his brother. Just before the
court adjourned a Photographic copy Of
the will, together with a number Of veri-
fed signatures of Kershow, were intro
duced for Identification. The case will
come up again for consideration Monday
morning at Il o'clock

First Production Of the Opera and Great Cast
Fills the Grand Opera-House.

." HE big audience that filled every
nook and corner of the Grand
Opera-house last evening had the
extreme pleasure of hearing for the
- first time in this city Wagners die
Meistersinger," that is so unlike anything
associated with the ordinary conception of
music of the famous composer.
Fancy a Wagner composition with an
absolute comedy element all through it.
Yet that is what the audience enjoyed for
almost four hours last night.
The audience was as big as the one that

There was a repetition of the gay scene
enacted during the hour previous to the
commencement of the performance. There
was the long line of those waiting to Sc

dozens of carriages with exquisitely
dressed women and men in evening garb
arriving at the entrance to the opera

Not only the novelty of a new opera,
but the superb cast put forward by Man

MANY scores were seen in all parts of the

Audience Enjoys Fine
Presentation.

close of each act
There was considerable promenading in
the foyer and lobby last night between
the acts. There were hundreds of men
and women in the spacious balcony and
parlors on the dress circle floor and 1t Is
quite the fashion to meet ones friends
there during the intervals.
The merits of the opera and the effec-
tive work of the singers and orchestra
were generally discussed, but there was
tinge of disappointment towering in the
this evening in carmen
Every dark cloud, however, has silver
lining, and while the audience discussed
the unfortunate indisposition of Calve for
this evening, Manager Grau was busy
telegrap hing to Los Angeles and other
points, canceling engagements in order
to give six extra performances in San
Francisco, so that Calve might be heard
in her favorite roles.
On all sides expressions Of sympathy
with Manager Grau and his associates
were heard last night and, judging by the
remarks made, there VIII be no reasou
for Grau to regret giving the extra per-
formanceS.
Camille seygard to Sing Carmen"
The opera season Is a big success, de-
the nOn-appearance of Calve. Those who
have purchased tickets for the nights she
was announced to sing are the first to
tender their sympathy to the singer and
the management.
Carmen will be sung tonight, and
Nine. Camille Seygard will be heard in
the title role. which she has sung many
times this season with marked success.
Tomorrow afternoon ''Lohengrin'' will
be given, with Eames. Schumann- Heink
Van Dyck, Bispham, Muhlmann and Blass
in the cast.
Tomorrow night the only performance
of I'll Barbiere di Siviglia" is to take
place, with Sembrioh, Bauermeister. Cam

cast.
Sunday night Lies Huguenots'' is the
popular priced attraction, with Gadski

superb cast.
The revised programme for next week
caused by the indisposition of Calve, will
be found in another column.

Glasses.

A committee Of the Grand Jury, con-
sisting Of j. M. Ellis, chairman; John
Kennedy and 9. c. Irving. had the Board
of Education ION the carpet yesterday
regarding the overcrowded condition of
classes in the public schools. The com
mittee has already been pursuing an in
vestfgation of the matter on it's own ac-
count and desired to obtain from the
beard an outline of its contemplated pol
icy to relieve the congested attendance in
a number of the schools
There were present at the inquiry Dr.
rectors Kincaid, Mark, Denman and Cas-
serly and Superintendent Webster. Chair
man Ellis of the, Grand Jury committee
put some pointed questions to the Direc-
tors as to the congested attendance in
some of the schools, with particular ref
ererce to the Hearst Grammar School.
The Directors pleaded Ignorance Of such
condition and made the principal Of the
school the scapegoat for not having re-
ported that the classes were overerowded.
I'VE never knew that the Hearst School
was OvercrOwded," said Director Kfncaid
who was cOrroborated in this statement
by the other three members Of the board.
1.-THE principal of the school is certainly
at fault for not reporting the facts to us
Madame President" interpOSed Super
intendent Webster at this juncture, II
have been steadily reporting for months
that the Hearst School needed more
classes and teachers. My recommended
lions were based on reports made to me
by my deputies, who had inspected the
school named
well, it was your duty to report the
matter to us" said Casserly.
II repeat" said Webster. that I did
so report and the board chose to ignore
my recommendation.
The Grand Jury committee urged the
board to take all needed steps to remedy
the matter. and Mrs. kincaid promised
that it would certainly be attended to.
After a number of other questions as to
what the board intended to do with re-
gard to building new schools the invesd-
cation came to an end.
The Grand Jury also investigated the
operations Of the Department of Public
Works and found everything in satisfac-
tory condition
