a. a canal in Venice. But to fall over
med a val four-poster was another matter!
In the demonstration that followed
this untoward accident, various languages
were spoken. The husband of Rosind
in real life was talking to her in Polish
VIII /. The other Distinguishing Tongues
were Italian, French and English; The
antique bed was rolled away and the re-
hearsal went on.
II was later in the afternoon that Nine.
Eanes arrived with MN. Alvarez and
Scott TO rehearse some Of the scenes OF
-Oello" with which they are to open the
season on Monday.
One Of the rehearsals Of the kind that ID
needed to freshen up the singers in the
operas they frequently sing lis very mucn
like another. There is always the group
of chairs at the corner Of the stage in which
the principals await their turns to appear.
They are always in street dress, and while
the orchestra plays as if there were a
crowded house, the singers hum their
music or at most give half voice. Free
quently they skip whole scenes that they,
are familiar with and as often duets and
solos are altogether omitted. 1t Is in the
ensembles that rehearsal is needed and
in scenes that require quick and compile
Gated action.
After this week none of the repertoire
operas will be rehearsed After Nine,
Sembrich has once been through The
Barber" and LA Traviata" with the cast
and Nine. Eames has rehearsed SOtello'
and Ala" il is not probable that they
will rehearse those operas again during
the season. II there are any changes in
the casts, the new singers will come TO
their apartments and make with them
whatever preparations are necessary.
Such is the luxury Of primadonnaship.
But all hands are busy now for the work
of six weeks is crowded into one. The
orchestra begins at 10 o'clock and is re-
hearsing at night Sgnor Mancinelli hands
over the labor to Herr Hertz and Italian
gives way to German. NJ. Flon takes his
place and the story of Carmen" is told in
French All tongues are heard at the
Met ropolitan, but there il unusual earnest-
ness and energy in all Of them now. No
overture to be heard during all the season
is more strenuous than that which was
sung and played all last week. It was
the prelude to seventeen weeks Of hard
work and it was nearly as hard as all the
seventeen for it was the first. And the
proverb says II is the first step that counts.

ed, at Barcelona.
STRIKES SPREAD IN SPAIN.
Many Anarchists and RevoIutionists
Arrested-Weyler Wants a Free
Hand In Dealing With "Rebels In
Catalonia"

Barcelona, Feb. 22.--The strikers
attacked the jail, in an attempt to
rescue their imprisoned comrades,
but they were repulsed by the troops,
after a number of rioters had been
killed or wounded. Forty persons
have already been killed.
The ordinary necessaries of life are
falling and the distress is becoming
accumulated. The strikers are said
to be receiving large sums of money
from London.
In the neighboring towns the dis
turbances are spreading and are in
creasing in gravity.
The predominance of bayonets here
has had due effect and the most turb-
ulent spirits have been driven off the
streets. Outwardly the city is assum-
ing an aspect Of comparative quiet.
The leading citizens are joining the
military and civil authorities in re
storing order.
Madrid, Feb 22.-The most strin-
gent measures have been prepared to
protect traffic and business in BARGE
Iona. The strikers have few rifles,
but are well supplied with revolvers
and daggers.
The search of suspected houses
continue resulting in the arrest of
large numbers of anarchists and revo-
lutionists of all kinds, who are con
sidered to be the prime movers in the
trof1hles
