MUSIC.
MR. DAMROsCH AND THE PHILHAR-
MONIC.

In all likelihood Mr.. Walter Dan1rosch will be
the conductor of the New-York Philharmonic
Society. The nominating committee has asked
and received permission to present his at the
approaching annual election, and his will be the
only official nomination, his election will follow as
a matter of course. AS always, there will be few
scattering for other men, but they VIII
amount only a sentimental expression
There has been a great deal of talk of late about
view of that fact Mr.. Damroschs election will not
be without significance. 1t would be a waste of
time to try to convince foolish newspaper writers
in Chicago. Philadelphia, Cincinnati and the cities
which derive their inspiration from those points
that the musical conditions of New-York are rad
cally different from their own, and that symphony
concerts (of which have about fifty each sea-
SOM are only of many features in our musical
activity, and that. consequently, the permanent
orchestra question is very different matter
here and there. But will talk and news
paper men will write, il might well be stated
that so far as New-Yori is concerned, no scheme
ought to be entertained for a moment which does
not look to the perpetuation of the Philharmonic
Society. 1t is the glory OF pure music in Amer
ica and its prestige of sixty years should inure
the benefit of any scheme designed to elevate
the symphonic cult 1t will be easy matter TO
transform the Philharmonic Orchestra into a per
manent" band so the necessary fund is
raised: It would be base ingratirude to endanger
its existence by the creation of rival institution
so long as the possibility exists OF attaining all
the desired ends through 1t.

DISCONTENT IN RUSSIA.
DISORDER AMONG woRKMEN IN THAT
COUNTRY REPORTED.

st. Petersburg, April 22-While the authorities
are e1deavoring to suppress all news Of the
strikes and disorders in various sections Of the
country, reports OF outbreaks continue to ar
rive here. The strike Of the cotton and silk
workers in Moscow and its vicinity has re-
suited in serious rioting. including the plunder-
Ing of houses and stores. The troops vigorously
repressed the disorders. Many persons were
killed or injured on both sides. The rioters who
were made captive were knouted. Fresh out
breaks are thought to be impending
The province Of Poltava is seething with dis.
content. A number of castles, including that OF
the Duke of Mecklenburg, have been sacked
and burned There, too, the outbreaks were
finally quelled with the utmost severity.
The town and province of Kieff are also ex-
hibiting their discomfort Everywhere strikers
are crying for shorter hours and increased pay,
their plea being that similar concessions ia Dor
have been made in other countries. This only
increases the efforts of the government to censor
the publication Of news regarding industrial
discomfort elsewhere.

German opera lovers with reasonably long mem

tenor of the first season OF German opera at the
Metropolitan Opera House eighteen years ago.
Herr Schott became enamoured of America, and
has been in the country off and on ever since
Last night he gave concert in Mendessohn hail.
with the help OF Mr.. Gregorowitsch, the Russian
violinist and Mr. Calico. pianist His assistants
have contributed much to the musical delights OF
the season which is ending, and do not call for
special mention Herr Schott surprised the vet
Grams among his listeners by the enthusiasm and
vigor OF his vocal manner, but his explosive and
choppy style is not charming. and even the Wag-
ner devotees no longer consider IL beautiful or con-
vincng All music ought 20 be correctly rehesrsed
and sung in tune.
