MORE POWERFUL
THAN THE KING
Edward Cannot Direct
the Policy Of His
Ministry.

LONDON. jan 3.-The Spectator to-day
gives much prominence to a letter from
Sidney Lee, the well-known lecturer ana
writer and Trask lecturer at Princeton
University, denying that the Anglo-Ger-
man cooperation in Venezuela is due to
the action of King Edward. Lee throws
Interesting and authoritative light upon
the, relations between the King and his
Ministers.
''There is no ground for supposing that
any revolutionary change in the relations
OF the sovereign with the Ministers mas
taken place during the last two years,
he writes "The coil of tradition which
now encircles the Premiers office is far
too heavy to permit him to suddenly sur
render any essential part of his power
or influence to the sovereign The SOW
ereign can no more impose upon the MIN
listers by the urgency of his appeal pol
icy of his own devising than he can by
sole authority promulgate new law Ihe
sovereign enjoys the right of cr1ticlzing
the Ministers proposals. If Minister
deems this to be of any value he has 1t
in his power to adopt. But in accordance
with the admitted custom he invariably
treats them as unauthoritative sugges-
tions. and is entitled to ignore them al
together without in any way prejudiclng
his relations with the sovereign, who is
debarred from offering formal advice on
any political question"
Lee adds that when the sovereign even
expresses informally his views they must
take a tentativeS interrogative form,
which barely raises them above the level
OF any irresponsible suggestion. No
traces of subservience have been suffered
to survive the Ministers manner of cor
Tespondence with the crown" Custom
prohibits a Minister from allowing his
final decision to be controlled effectively
by royal wishes or hopes. The Minister
has only to meet a royal suggestion
which fails to commend itself to him with
direct negative in order except in the
rarest cases, to extinguish it summarily.

A writer in recent issue of the
London Saturday Review INDUCES in
a very severe-and from an artistic
standpoint probably just-diatribe on
John Philip Sousa and his band. Sousa
has been in England for some time
and the King has applauded his band
enthusiastically, and requested that
Mr.. Sousa be presented. But the mu-
steal critics have not been favora bly,
impressed with either the band or the
music played by it. They cannot I'M
derstand how the nerves of an Ameri-
can audience can stand such a noise
Is this band must make within four
walls. The writer in the Saturday Re-
view says:
"A more mQnstrous notion / cannot
imagine than this OF putting a collec-
ton of strong-lung players, each arm
ed with his wooden or brass instru-
ment, in an inclosed space, and let

orchestra last appeared before the club
in December, the Lawton Memorial
was filled with the largest audience
that has attended any of the entertain
ments of the Music Club. There were
those present who had gone out of
mere curiosity to see what the orches-
ira could do, but whose curiosity was
quickly supplanted by a pleasure and
a wrapt interest in its work that could
not have been anticipated. On the
18th it is quite safe to predict that
there will barely be standing room in
the hall, as the second appearance of
the orchestra has been constantly
looked forward to during the past ten
weeks. Throughout that time there has
been weekly rehearsal without
single intermision, and the fact that
ii has been the exception when a single
member of the orchestra has missed a
rehearsal speaks well for the interest
that these members of the Music Club
are taking I'm their work, as well as
in the general success and welfare Of
the entire club. The members OF the
orchestra are as follows: Miss Birdie

der the direction of Mr.. A. c. Meyer
will have the programme for the
meeting of March 10 in complete shape
for presentation on that evening. This
will comprise four movements from
Haydn's famous Surprise Symphony"
and Mendelssohn's wedding March"
This makes quite a pretentious and
elaborate programme and the fact
that this orchestra in so short a time
has been brought to such a proficiency
as to be able to give such a number as
the Surprise Symphony" far sur
passes the expectations of the most
sanguine at the time that the orches-
ira was organized last October, and
reflects the highest credit upon the
ability of Mr.. Meyer as a conductor
and a trainer as well as upon the
constant and untring efforts of those
who compose the orchestra. When the

Mr.. Otis B. Thayer, who plays the
part of Jerome Holcombe" which he
created last season in Sweet Clover, &"
Pauline Phelps and Marion Short
successful comedy drama, secured the
approval of the critics in every city
which he appeared. They pronounced
him the Legitimate successor of James
A. Hearn and his portrayal of the
quaint old Connecticut farmer as one
of the best, most life-like and natural
creations given to the stage.
Mr.. Thayer's portrayal of the part
was revelation to his friends and
admirers. for although he has many
successes to his credit they are notably
in the leading comedy roles of a large
repertoire of comic operas. A few
seasons ago he decided to embrace
character work and that his selection
was a wise one is evidenced by his
portrayal of Jerome Holcombe in
Sweet Clover" which has established
him as without a rival in the line of
work for which he is eminently fitted.
