Some curious anecdotes are related OF
Hermann Zumpe, the Wagnerian con-
ductor at Munich. he was well known
to be q spiritualist and believed that
the ghosts Of dead composers inspired
his conducting Of their works. One day
Eumpe told another conductor Of note
how Beethoyen's spirit was present
during the performance Of n Of the
symphonies, and 30 pleased was the
ghost that after. the end Of the first
movement he exclaimed, "At last!'
"Ah, my dear fellow" exclaimed the
other conductor, 'surely BeethoveD
made q mistake. He thought 1t was the
end, Of the last movement"

If War Comes, Japan and Russia Must
Settle It Themselves.

Berlin, Dec. 3-The dispatch of the AS
ISOLATED Press from Paris Tuesday night
announcing that the basis for an agree
ment between Russia and Japan had been
arrived at, is the most interesting topic
of the day at the chancellores. While ex-
pressing the keenest curiosity. about the
source of the correspondent information
the official world remains confident that
the nations will not come TO a breach.
The foreign office bases its confidence in
this belief on the strength of the Russian
possession relieving her of the necessity
OF attacking and on the improbahility of
Japan securing permanent advantages
from war. However, if war does come.
the foreign Office believes Russian and
Japan will fight alone. 1t does not be-
lieve Great britain and France have I'M
dertaken 10 mediate and is inclined 10
think Russia and Japan would not reject
Interference even from their allies. In
deed. the foreign Office does not think
Japan has informed Great Britain re-
garding the details of her demands upon
Russia. but preferred arranging matters
entirely with the latter country. OF
course, friendly representations by France
at 81. Petersburg ard by Great Britain
at Toxic have probably been made.
