The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1903-07-23

From the Music Trade Review, June l3, 1903.
The Columbia Phonograph Co. have
Just issued a new list of additions to
their catalogue of records, both cylin-
drical and disc. 1t contains all the
latest "hits" in the instrumental and
vocal field.
They are also calling attention to a
new series of high-class records, which
will include classical selections of vocal
and instrumental music and talking
records by artists of reputation. They
have ready solos and duets in German
by Mia Werber and Sigmund Kuns-
tadt.
In these reproductions, Fraulein
Werber's pure soprano tones are heard
to great advantage, and all the wonder
ful sympathy of Herr Kunstadt's voice
is faithfully preserved. They also
have several violin solos by J. Kocian,
the celebrated yirtuoso. The sustained
tones of stringed instrument are pc
culiarly suitable for Graphophone re-
productions and the beautiful singing
quality Of Mr.. Kocian's records is char
acteristic. The French songs by Mau-
rice Declery, of the Metropolitan OPP
era House, New York, are fine exam
pies of articles Interpretation and show
the results of long operate training.
Roberto Vanni, in his Italian songs,
appeals to lovers of the old school who
appreciate melodic ornamentation, and
his clear tenor voice is reproduced with
scrupulous fidelity.
The talking records include repro
ductions of some of the lines in Rip
Van Winkle, by Joseph Jefferson, senl-
or. The humorous scene in the noun
tains, where Rip encounters one OF
Heinrich Hudson's men is contrasted
with the pathetic meeting with his
daughter after twenty years absence
These records, aside from their dra-
matte merit, are valuable as souvenirs
of this great actor, and doubtless will
be in great demand.

Spools and has generally been adopted
by the best dressmakers, since it is just
the right size and twist for stitching
purposes.
The pouched or blouse front is fast
being superseded by the deep corselet
and long narrow buckle, suggesting
the pointed stomacher, and many even
ing bodices show the pointed lawer
edge. Large floral patterns obtain for
the thin gown for warm days, and a
prodigal display of coarse lace set on
white bobbinet and shirrings will be
the salient feature. The exaggerated
long shoulders will be given by the
deep lace collars of all descriptions and
construction, and when these are not
employed fchus daintily ruffled and
tirilled will replace them.

YALE GRADUATE

DOCS NOT AGREE TO PREFEREN
TIAL TREATMENT Or ALLIES.
WILL GO TO THE HAGUE
Venezuelan Envoy Thinks it Would
Establish a Precedent in Inter
national Law Which Would Prove
Offensive to Modern Civilization
BoWen's Position Endorsed.

Washington, Feb. 3.-Minister Bow
en- has sent through the British am
bassador here what amounts practic-
ally to an ultimatum to the allies re
garding the insistence for preferential
treatment in the settlement of claims
against Venezuela. The note was ca
bled at once to London, copies Of it
being transmitted to the Italian and
German embassies for transmission to
Rome and Berlin. 1t is in reply to the
proposition submitted at the joint con-
ference of negotiations, yesterday
afternoon by the British ambassador
that the allies be allowed two-thirds of
80 per cent. of the custom receipts
and that the United States and other
claimant nations content themselves
with the remaining 10 per cent. Mr..
Bowen last night refused point blank
the proposition for 20 and 10 per
cent. division on the ground that to
recognize the principal item of the
bodies would be absolutely offensive
to modern civilization. In view of the
fact that the negotiators are agreed
on all save the question Of preferen-
tial treatment, the ambassador is in
formed that Venezuela has decided to
submit that question to The Hague ar
bitration tribunal. The acceptance
of this proposition Venezuela con-
tends carries with it the raising of
the blockade, the general understand
ing being the blockade would end
when the negotiations at Washington
reached an agreement.
It is understood that in refusing the
last proposition of the allies Mr.. Bow
en- has taken ground that he can-
nto accept the principal contention,
that the blockades and bOmbardmenl
OF forts and the consequent killing of
helpless men, women and children,
entities any power or alliance of pow
ers to preferential treatment at the
hands of a civilized nation. 1t is
claimed that should the peace powers
and blockading powers agree to sucn
principle, they would incorporate in
the law of nations a doctrine in con-
| flict with the tenents Of all modern
| day ethics.
| Moreover, Venezuela, it is stated,
regards the preferential demand of
powers as Objectionable because it
would enable the continuance of a
triple alliance for six years or more,
and in accepting it Venezuela would
be encouraging and abetting the
maintenance of hostile alliances
against herself. The British ambas-
sador is informed in note that the
Americans, north ana south, want
peace, not alliances.
Representative of the allies in this
city are for preferential treatment for
limited period, but no one in Wash
ington feels competent to predict. The
position taken by Mr.. Bowen, it is
stated, has received the endorsement
of all unallied claimant nations.

NO FREIGHT BY STREET CARS.
Ruling by a Cream City

Milwaukee, Feb. 3.-Judge Kelsey

very fact makes the company liable 70
damages for accidents occurring wheth-

part or not. The decision was made

Washington. Jan. 30-This was the
last private claims day Of this con-

others, to defeat some of them. Many
claims were old, dating back to the"
civil war, and a few originated prior
to that time The latest was for bal
ances due for carrying the mails in
the south when the war broke out.
Mr.. Payne was particularly insistent
in his opposition to these bills, call
ing attention to the exposure of the
fraudulent character of many He
expressed the opinion that all these
claims were paid before. The mem

ever, and voted him down every time
he demanded a division. When the

bills to the house, Mr.. Payne, blocked
