Above these farms the stream divides,

ADVANCEMENT In SONG
FORM ILLUSTRATED
Lecture Recital Given Before
the Choral Society.
Nicholas DOuty's Brilliant Expose of
'.The Development of the Song
ms an Art Form.o

The third event of the season under
the auspices of the Choral Society oc-
Cured last night at the Congregational
Church in lecture recital by Nicholas
Douty on The Development of the Song
as an Art Form"
MIR. Douty is not a stranger to Wash
ington, he having been heard here before
in conjunction with the Choral Society.
His appearance last night was somewhat
in the nature of a novelty. in that he gave
the audience the benefit of the close study
which he has evidently made of the sub
pect Of the lecture, illustrated it himself,
and acted as his own accompanist.
FOlk-Song Form Presented
The programme was intended to Illus
trate the advancement which has been
made in song form from the early age of
composition until the present time, and
for the introduction Mr.. Douty presented
the folk-song form. which included Sc
lections from Schubert. Franz. Grieg, and
Brahms.
The second part was confined to aria
form and gave the lecturer an opportunity
to illustrate this field in excerpts from
Handel. Mozart. and Mendelssohn. The
last composer was represented by the
recitative and short aria, "If with all
your hearts, which proved to be a very
effective and artistic number
American and English Composers.
The free forms chosen from American
and English composers included THE Half
ring Moon" Mailert Zellner; Thy Voice
Is Heard Sidney Herbert; "A Corn
Song" Coleridge-Taylor. and McDowell's
las the Cleaning Shadows Creep" The
last song was, without doubt, the gem of
the evenings programme, and Mr.. Douty
was forced to repeat the number.
THE German Age" was represented in
the works of Wagner. Schumann, Richard
Strauss, and Weingartner.
Mr.. Douty's voice is a tenor of much
purity and resonant quality. At times
it grows a little throaty and shows evil
dence of strain. but it is nevertheless
pleasing and proved thoroughly capable
OF coping with the exacting and varied
programme which the singer presented.

GEN. HUGHES FORESAW
FILIPINO REBELLION
Unfriendliness Due to Agul-
naldo'S Influence.
Convinced That Organization of In
surrection Was Going Forward
Testifcs Before Senate
Committee.

Gen. Robert p Hughes, recently returned
from Manila, has taken the place of Gov
ernor Taft as a witness before the Senate
Philippines Committee.
General Hughes was provost marshal in
Manila. he was appointed to that post
by General Otis, in September, 1898.
When General Hughes went to Manila,
- he said, the insurgent forces were quar-
tered in the city, and there was free
communication between them and the
Americans. When. later on, Aguinaldo
was directed to move out, he objected
strenuously, but eventually he went.
Charged Against Aguinnldo.
At first, said the general, the people
OF Manila were quite friendly, but by The
first of January, 1899, there was change
in their attitude. which change he attrib-
uted to Aguinaldo's influence and advice.
The general detailed some occurrences of
a disorderly character that had preceded
the outbreak of actual hostilities. He
became convinced that all men able to
bear arms we're being organized for insur-
rection and he afterward found that the
city had been divided into twelve dis
tricts.
He had not been. he said. in the least
surprised when the firing began. He
simply said that the thing was on and he
called all his command to arms, and told
them that the war had begun. And the
sequel he said, proved that / was
right
American Outposts Attacked.
He described the location OF the lines
and said that the firing of February 3
had been occasioned by the American
outposts being attacked. These outpost5
had been stationed by General MacAE-
thur and as they were well within the
American lines, he thought that the fight
ing must have begun there. On the 22d
there had been an attempt to burn the
city, by the use of kerosene, and the gen
eral described that incident in consider
able detail.
The fire had been arranged so as to
burn out the storehouses of the commits
sary department. The native nremen, he
said, had locked up the engine houses, so
that he had 10 organize a new fire depart
ment from among his own troops.
To Be Cross-Questioncd Today.
General Hughes will be cross-ques-
toned by the committee at today's meet
ing.
Governor Taft yesterday continued his
remarks on the Philippine Archipelago to
the House Committee on Insular Affairs
lie dealt mainly with the virtues and
vices of the Filipinos. he described their
mode of living. their habits, and he
dwelt at length upon their hatred of the
friars, and the reasons that moved them.
Governor Taft expects TO finish his tes-
timony within day or two. and will then
go to Cincinnati to submit to an opera
tion made necessary by his physical con-
dition. II will keep him in retirement for
about thirty days.

The Bill and It's Provisions.
The bill recites, in a preamble, the leg

CUBAN RECIPROCITY
NO NEARER SOLUTION
EXCLUDE CHINESE CLERKS.
Ex-MayOr PheInn Protests Against n
Proposition to Admit.

Former Mayor James d. Phelan, of
San Francisco, who was one of Califor-
MAS commissioners who appeared before
the Committees on Foreign Affairs to ad-
vocate the passage of strict Chinese
exclusion law, has written to Chairman
Hit protesting against a recent action
OF the San Francisco Chamber of Com
merca.
That body recently passed a resolution
asking that clerks. bookkecpers, cashiers,
and certain others be included in the
exempt classes in the Chinese exclusion
bill
Concerning this exemption, Mr.. Phelan
says:
The larger the number of exemptions
the greater the difficulty of excluding the
laboring class. Coolies would come in
under these several designations. IL bona
fde Chinese merchants want assistance
there are thousands in San Francisco
from whom they can draw.
There is no intention, in my judgment.
on the part of the Chinese to come here
and establish mercantile houses. Chinese
merchants deal with Chinese. and as the
Chinese are diminishing in number the
present mercantile houses are more than
sufficient for their mercantile needs.
American houses are engaged in Chinese
commerce on this side. and not Chinese
houses, and this happy relation l trust
may continue.
Il do not think the Chamber of Com
merce appreciated this point when they
adopted their resolution. Their single pur-
pose was to facilitate the trade with emma,
and no doubt the resolution was inspired
by the Chinese. who have been soliciting
such expressions of opinion.
The Chamber Of Commerce is in no
sense representative in its board of di-
rectors of the business interests of San
Francisco VIXEN it so expresses itself on
San Francisco do not want merchant COM
than American laborers want Coolie com
petitors.
The Chamber of Commerce and Mer-
chants Exchange of San Francisco have
a grievance against the workingmen on
account Of the recent strike, and no doubt
acted at time when they unfortunately
felt no sympathy for American labor
AS mayor of San Francisco they refused
me. by one of these same resolutions a
hearing on the strike question, at q time
when tie commerce of the port was tied
up, and when Pierpont Morgan. the high
est representative of his class, was 'nego-
tiating with the officers of organized labor
in New York ! may say they refused to
discuss the strike with such officers in San
Francisco.
THE attitude OF resistance without
knowledge fifty expresses the temperament
Of the board of directors of the Chamber
of Commerce"
