WOULDN'T Sing BECAUSE
PRINCE HENRY Had GONE
Nine. SembriCh Tells Why
She Failed to Appear.
To Have Sung Then Would Not Have
- Been in Keeping With Her Stand
ing as an Artist.

NEW YORK. Feb. 2s.-The refusal Of
Nine Sembrich to sing the first act Of
La Trayiata." which was to have been
the second to the last number on the
programme at the gaia performance on
Tuesday night at the Metropolitan Opera
House. was the subject OF much discus
sion yesterday, and various explanations
of the matter were offered. The distin-
guished soprano told yesterday the rea-
sons for her action.
When I found that was to be the last
but one singer on the programme" Nine.
Sembrich said. my husband asked MI.
Crau if that was not rather late. Mr.
Grau said that 1t was the best place on
the programme, and that 1 should sing by
1870 o'clock. Ny husband suggested that
La Trayiata' be put before -Tannhauser,'
as 1 felt certain that the prince would
leave after the Wagner number that was
put on the programme out of honor TO a
German composer. Mr Grau said that
royal etiquette would prevent the prince
leaving, that he might come late, but
that it would be unpI ecedented for him
to 80 until the last act was finished.
Il arrived at the theatre a little after
to dress. Word was sent to me that
the prince had expressed his intention Of
remaining through the whole perform
ance- l dressed. and at II o'clock learned.
to my establishment. that 'Tannhauser' had
hardly begun at that hour. Il was half
past y before the time arrived for me to
sing. ] heard that the Prince was gone
and the theatre empty.
i had been in the costume for more
than two hours. the public was tired and
so was l. Somebody has told mo since
that the majority OF the audience came
back into the theatre after the prince
had passed out. I knew nothing about
that. All 1 know is that il was too late
for Nine. Sembrich TO sing I only do
that under circumstances which my stand
ing as an artist demands. II is easy for
me not to sing at any time. II is impOssi-
bic for me ever 20 sing when the COndi-
lions are what they we're on Tuesday"

STUDYING RIVER FLOW.
Floods and Low Tides Of Pennsylvania
Streams Measured.

Floods and Low Tides Of Pennsylvania
Streams Measured.
During the past year a number Of the
more important streams Of Pennsylvania
have been studied by the photographers
Of the United States Geological Survey.
This work is in line with public interest
in that state which framed the bill pre-
scented 10 the last Legislature for CO.
operation with the Federal Government
IN a comprehensive investigation Of the
water resources Of the State
The present work has been devoted TO
daily observtions Of river heights, and
frequent measurements Of flow, from
which an accurate idea Of the monthly
and yearly discharge Of these streams
is obtained. One Of the most important
features about a stream FOR those who
would use its waters for power or supply
is the amount Of its low water flow. Spe-
cial care has been used in the investiga-
lions TO obtain this information.
Another intere- 1g result Of the meas
uremeuts is the light they throw on the
floods and freshets Of the past season.
They show the great volume OF these sud
den discharges as compared with the light
flow Of most Of the streams during the
rest of the year. and raises the tV.stlon
whether the disastrous floods and the fol-
lowing low waters Of so many Of the
Pennsylvania streams are not TO some eX-
tent due % heavy cutting OF timber at
their head waters.
The Susquehanna. and It's main tribu-
tarfes were measured at a number Of
places, as were also the SchuyIEll. Juni-
alta. and Delaware Rivers, and ten OF
twelve other smaller streams which are
Of value as sources Of water power and
supply.

BERLIN, Feb. 27.-The papers here con-
tinue to print at great length cabIed
descriptive accounts Of the ceremonies
attending Prince Henry's visit The re-
ports are written IN the most apprecia-
tive manner. especially those printed by
the .Tageblatt" and the ''LokaIanzeiger, d"
the comments Of which are also appreci-
alive.
There Is c mixture Of gIee and resent
ment over the British newspaper com
ments- Glee. because they are inter
preted as being inspired by jealousy. and
resentment on account. OF their sarcastic
criticisms Of Germany's wooing the Re
public
It is stated that an association Of in
fiuential Berlin residents is being formed
TO cultivate mutual understanding be-
tween Germany and the United States. 10
combat misstatements and 70 extend
commercial relations
Il is not doubted that the success OF
Prince Henry's mission has Afforded the
greatest qualification to Emperor WI
liam
There IS much speculation as to the
meaning Of President RooseveIt's refer
ence 10 becoming the guest Of a German
warship- II is pointed out that the con
ztitution would prevent this in German
waters until the expiration Of his official
term Of Office.
II is cOnjectUred that it may reveal a

HUNTINGIONS TAXED
$3l,80O ON BAGGAGE
Declare $4,000 in Purchases
Abroad to Officials.
RECORD SUM PAID IN CASH
Wife Of the Late Railroad Owner PAYS
to New York Custom House Largest
Import Duty Ever Collected by This
Country From an Individual

NEW YORK, Feb 27.-With the largest
amount Of merchandise declared under
the baggage customs act since the pro-
mitigation Of the revised Dingley Tariff
law, Mrs. Coils p. Huntington. who has
been abroad for several months, surprised
the acting deputy collector who went
down the harbor to meet the incoming
liner Oceanic yesterday by declaring that
she was prepared to pay duties on $4,000
worth of goods purchased abroad
Schedule Abroad Made Out.
Mrs Huntington was accompanied By
her son, Archer N. huntington. and his
wife. and with this party were several ser
wants. There was 10 delay. as the ex-
tensive schedule had already been made
out by the Huntington party before the
Oceanic reached Sunday Hook
When the vessel reached her pier on the
North River. more than twenty pieces Of
baggage were landed for the Huntingtons
and then a force Of inspectors and ap-
praisers were detailed to examine and
check of the declared goods as the pack
ages were opened.
Greatest Individual Duty.
For more than an hour the operation
continued. and when the final amount Of
duty assessed had been figured up. the
grand total Of $31 500 was declared due to
the United States Treasury. This amount
in currency-for the Government viii ac-
cept checks from no one-was quickly
paid, and the baggage was declared
passed.
Although extreme reticence was OBJ
served by the customs officials, it was
learned that the larger portion Of the
dutiabIe grades were materials for wear
ing apparel. although quantity Of jew
elry was also declared.
This is the largest amount Of duty ever
collected from one individual on landing
at this port.
