Washingtonians Meet TAYLOR.

I'm the summer of 1900 some of our
music-loving people on their return from
the Paris exposition stopped in London
and there met the gifted composer and his
charming wife. This face-to- face and
hand-to-hand meeting with the man of
genius but added fuel to the flame of en-
thusiasm, and one visitor at least came
home with the determination that colored
Washington must rise to the occasion and
render 'Hiawatha.' 1t is not too much to
say that the idea of the splendid perform
ance given here last Thursday originated
with one woman, and that coming home
from the presence of our brother across the
water. She aroused inspiration among
the musical people of this city that caught
and kindled until it blazed forth in the
triumphant elimination which has won the
unstinted praise Of musical critics of all
classes.

society and to attempt the presentation of

To many less sanguine than this woman
with whom the idea was incipient 1t seemed
we'll nigh impossible. Sustaining members
must be found, money must be not only
pledged. but given. and long weeks and
months of unpaid service must come from

all came with the utmost generosity and
good Will. But even then there were dis

the singing Of that cnorus and the three
gifted soloists, the sympathetic work of the

the chorus. The men wore the conventional
evening dress and all the ladies' wore white.
The effect was far more harmonious and
pleasing than any array of colors could
have been. The audience was all that
could have been asked, and was indeed a
great compliment to yet untred organ

by those wonderful voices, the audience

TEACHERS FOR PHILIPPINES.
Examination Will Be Held Early in
the Summer Vacation.

The civil service commission has just
received advice from the Philippine gov
eminent that the positions of teachers have
been included within the Philippine classi-
fled service There are about $50 Amer
lean teachers in that service. There has
been some delay in classifying these posi-
tions. as it was thought that more salts
factory results could be secured by select
ing them without regard to civil service
rules, but after making selections in this
way for over two years 1t has been de-
cided to obtain teachers hereafter through
of these positions practically completes the
classification of the Philippine civil service.
The positions now remaining outside the
classified service are few, including some
of the heads of departments and offices,
certain legal, confidential and scientific po-
sitions and places where the compensa-
ton is too small to justify their classical
ton.
The Philippine civil service rules pro-
vide two grades of examination for teach
er, modified examination for Filipino ap-
plicants and more thorough tests for Amer
lean applicants.
The civil service commission has been
asked to provide list of American eligibles
not later than September 1. and 1t is ex-
pected to hold the examination the last
of June or early in July during the vaca-
ton period. 1t is probable that large
number of elgibles will be required. and
forwarded to Manila, where selections will
be made by the Philippine civil service
board. The examination will require two
days of seven hours each and will consist
of certain basis subjects which all appl-
cants will be required to take and a list
which may be taken. The basis subjects

ExTRADITIoN OF WRIGHT.
Argument of the Case in the Supreme
Court

In the United States Supreme Court the
hearing in the extradition case of Whitaker
Wright was begun yesterday. Mr.. Samuel
untermeyer appearing for Wright. Mr..
Charles Fox representing the British gov
eminent and Solicitor General Hoyt the
United States. The case comes here on an
peal from an order of the United States
circuit court for the southern district OF
New York Diminishing writs of habeas CORPUS
and certiorar1 issued on Wright's petition
and denying his application for release on
bail The most striking feature of the pro-
ceeding in the Supreme Court was the pre-
sentat1on of an affidavit made by Mr. Fox
to the effect that the appeal is from a de-
c1slon In case which had been instituted
March l6. whereas the British government
had formally sought to abandon the pro-
ceedirgs then begun and has asked for the
discharge of Wright from custody under
those proceedings. He claimed therefore
that the court practically was sitting in a
moot case.
He related the particulars of the subse-
quent proceedings by the circuit court
which were instituted March 81 from which
there has been no appeal The comnlaint
OF the 31st was along the same lines but
presented the question in greater detail.
The commissioner who had heard the case
had declined to dismiss on the ground that
the case had passed from him. but 1t was
urged that the Supreme Court could Iegiti-
mately exercise that right as 1t was a
recognized principle of law that a COM
plainant may thus dismiss and begin de
novo.
Mr.. Fox claimed that the crime with
which Wright is charged, viz, that of fraud
as the director of company, Is extradi-
ditable under the provision of the extradi-
ton treaty between the United States and
Great Britain. which specifies as among
extraditable offenSes that of fraud by q
bailee. banker. agent. factor, trustee or
director or member or officer of any COM
pany made criminal by the laws Of both
countries"
Mr. Untermeyer. speaking for Wright,
contended that the complaint does not
state sufficient facts to constitute any
crime which Is extraditable within the
meaning of any of the treaties between the
United States of America and the United
| that there is no allegation or statement in
| the complaint which irLt ties that the
offense charged in this complaint or war
rant constitutes a crime under the laws of
both countries; that it does not appear
| from the complaint or warrant that the
crime charged is a crime under the general
| law of the United States and that the
complaint does not show that the ofYense
charged against the defendant is a crime
within the laws of the state of New York
| Solicitor General Hoyt had just begun his
| argument when the court adjourned for the
| day. He appeared especially for the pur-
! pose of presenting this governments view
| OF the applicability of the treaty to cases
| similar to that of Wright, but did not ap-
| pear. strictly speaking. against Wright.

in some quarters of the globe would have
placed a ban upon his ambition. no matter
what the quality Of his genius. Not so in
London.
1T meant much 70. the young student that
he was brought under the personal training
of the eminent composer, DR.. Stanford, and
it was harbinger of coming greatness
that before he had passed one year in the
college his gifted instructor publicly direct
ed the rendition of a composition of this
colored student. 1t is not to be wondered at
that, under the influence of such stimulus,
his college days were not yet ended when
Coleridge Taylor produced that original and
witching composition "Hiawatha's We'd
ding Feast" His first effort being received

and delight the genius of the composer took
up the remaining portions of Longfellow's
picturesque lyric and the Death of Mime

poem and a composition so rich, so varied,
so full of color and life and expression that

a loss to describe it.

WANTS TO SEE G. N. BOOKS
The Public Examiner Serves a Sum.
mons on the Company's
Auditor.

Unable to obtain from the officials
of the Great Northern railway all the
information he has asked for, Public
Examiner Johnson has taken legal
steps to compel full disclosures from
the records of the company, so that
he can ascertain just what it owes the
state In gross earnings taxes. Thru
F. II. Griggs, the special assistant at
torney general appointed to assist the
public examiner, a subpoena has been
served on r. I. Harrington. second vice
president and general auditor of the
Great Northern. The summons re-
quires him to appear Saturday morn
ing in the senate chamber of the capt.
toll, bringing with him all books, rec
ords accounts and papers bearing on
| the earnings of the system, from 1896
down to the present date. Inquiry
farther back is barred by the statute
| Of limitations.
This action is taken under authority
of the special session law Of 1902,
which gives the public examiner judi
cial power to summon persons and pa
pers, in order to verify the gross earn
ings reports. It is quite possible that
the railroad company will refuse to
comply and bring on a test of the law.
