FRENCH OPERA PROVED MOST
POPULAR IN LONDON SEASON

SPECIAL BY CABLE TO THE NEW YORK
HERALD AND THE ST. LOUIS REPUBLIC
London. July 25.-(Copyright, 190S.)-Tues-
day next will see the curtain finally fall on
this years season of grand opera IN London.
Seventy-eight performances will have been
given at Covent Garden, while the number
of operas presented is twenty-four. French
opera proved most popular. Faust was
given eight times, Romeo ct Juliet" six and
Carmen" five. OF the German operas
Tannhauser'' and 'Lohengrin'' had four
and five performances respectively.
Puccine's La Boheme,' with Nine Melba
as MINI, packed the house every time 1t
was given. Don Giovanni was revived
with relatively small success. and "Mague-
Lone one-act work by Missa, was the
only new production of the season. In this
Nine Calve played the title role, which
gave her splendid opportunity to display
her special histrionic talents.
While the musical critics were not en.hu-
siastic over NJ. M:ssa's music, it was recog-
nized that Nine. Calve scored d personal tri-
umph in role cminently suited TO her. She
made a hit by her singing of the folk songs
OF provence, which she learned in her child
hood and which the composer of "Maeue-
lone was able to introduce into his score
through Nine. Calve having sung them for
him "

OVATION FOR MIR. WYNDHAM.
Congratulated by All Parties for
His Capacity and Tact in
Silencing Opposition to
the Land Bill.
BY HERBERT PAUL.

sP Hft BY GA RE TO THE NEW Y9RK
London. July 25.-Copyright. 19lS)-The
Kings visit TO Ireland could not have been
more successful or more timely. The I'M
bounded enthusiasm with which he was re-
ccived in Dublin does not. of course. Imply
any abatement of the Nationalists' de-
mand As constitutional sovereign. his Maj
esty would not desire it. He reigns over
Nationaiists as we'll as over Unionists. and
he is placed above parties by the wisdom
Of the law.
His graceful feeling with reference to the
death of the Pope shows it must have
given him real pain TO use the insulting
language about the Roman Catholic faith
prescribed by the oath of accession. There
is general belief in Ireland that his Maj
esty earnestly desires such reconcilia-
ton between the two countries as Mr..
Gladstone vainl" endeavored to procure.
and that this wish was shared with especial
fervor by the Queen.
1t is no secret that the late sovereign OF
these realms detested TIE very name of
home rule. and part at least. of the cor
diality now being shown by the Inhabitants
of Dublin is due to the impression that
with her death that prejudice has disap-
pcared.
Much Of 1t may also he set down to the
land bill. which the House OF Commons
read the third time on Tuesday by an al
most unanimous vote. The Chief Secretary
for Ireland is indeed the man of the peo-
pie on the other side of St Georges Chan
mel.
Mr.. Wyndham. who is universal favor
lite, was cheered in Dublin almost as warm
~ as the King himself and, in his unavoid-
able absence from the House of Commons,
he received at the same time congratula-
tons from all parties. The chief of the Irish
Nationalist apd representative Irish land
lords. the leader Of the opposition and the
leader of the House united IN expressing
their grateful sense Of Mr. Wyndham's ca
pacity and tact.
The conduct of an unopposed bill Is not.
indeed. the most difficult task in the world.
and the Irishmen. rs Mr.. Redmond did. ac-
knowledCed they had obtained most of the
concessions they demanded. but Mr.. WYnd-
ham succeeded in pleasing them without
offending their opponents and in effectua!-
II muzzling the constitutional guardians of
the public purse.
The bill Is now as good passed. The
taxpayer cannot expect from the House of
Lords regard Tor his interests which was
not shown by the Commons. and the Irish
landlords who are also peers. know that
if they do not accept what the bill gives
them they will get nothing at all.
1t is practical triumph of home rule
which the people of Dublin are really ceie-
brating this week. The apparent failure of
Mr. Gladstone's policy was only apparent
after all.
