GEN. REYES AWAITS REPLY.
Adyices From Colombia state That
Ill Feeling Continues There
Against the United states.

Washington, Jan. 9.--Gen. Reyes Is
still awaiting the state departments
reply to his request that the corre-
spondence between him and the Wash
ington government regarding the Pan
anna incident be sent TO tile United
States senate. Gen Reyes has ad-
vices from Colombia that the feeling
there continues to run high against
the United States and, while prepara-
tions are being made for hostilities,
Gen. Reyes has been able thus far
to restrain his people from an out
break. It Is quite possible that upon
receipt of the state departments re-
ply to his last note Gen. Reyes will
leave Immediately for Colombia. In
that event. DR.. Heran. the Colombian
charge, will close the legation and
return home. thus marking the break
ing off of diplomatic relations between
this country and Colombia.

THE CLOUGH-CHARLTON RE
CITAL.
By Our Musical Critic.

Brown. contraIto, of Baltimore. and
Miss Myrtle Hart, harpist of Indiana
Uolis; a song and piano recital by Mr.
Harry Burleigh, baritone, of New York,
and Mr. R. Augustus Lawson, pianist,
Of Hartford; a song and organ recital
by Madame Estella P. Clough, soprano
of Worcester, and Mr.. Melville Charl-
ton. organist of New York.
These musicals have been decidedly
social and musical successes, very
fattering indeed to the management.
They have demonstrated, besides, that
the race in Washington can furnish an
audience of refined men and women
who possess not only the power of sus-
tanned attention to classical music, but
also enthusiastic appreciation of artist
r Interpretation. Moreover these re
citals have made patent the fact that
there is musicianship in the race of
such high order as to compare most
favorably with cultivated musicians
anywhere.
The Characterization recital on Wed
nesday was not so largely attended as
the previous musicals, owing to the
conflict of date with another large i'm
pOrtant social function. But the audi
ence was sufficiently large and cordial
to inspire any musician. The program
was classical throughout, but so varied
in style as to illicit applause after
every number. Mrs. CIough's offering
. consisted of the grand and impassioRed
Ocean Aria from "Oberon," the f1orid
and difficult Air and Variation by
Proch, and the Bird Song from "I
Pagliacci." Madame Clouh is in tenn
perament and voice a dramatic So
prano. This was shown not only in the
unqualified success of her Operatic Sc
Lotions, but in the less hearty recep-
ton accorded her lyric encores. Mrs
COugh has not an eqUable voice. Her
lower tones are not only breathy but
at times untrue, due, we think, to a
: habit in legato passages of sliding up
to the note. But, taken as a whole her
organ may be unhesitatingly spoken Of
as remarkable. From middle c up, the
quality" is superb, the tone large, full,
resonant and pure, and the vocalizatiOn
fluent and brilliant. We know of no
singer in the race, and few outside of
it who make such an even and well
placed trill or possess such a high
voice. It means little enough for a
soprano to take high G at the end of
i a phrase But it is a truly great &C
complishment to sing without loss in
tOnality a series of five or six phrases
where the dominant note is high A or
B.
Madame Clough does this and more,
Scales whose uppermost note is high
T. or even E, are made with as little
apparent effort as the octave lower.
When the final word is said this so
PanO's success was legitimate. In
genuous in manner though engaging in
Presence, adequate in technique, in
@IIigent in presentation, Madame
UOugh won her laurels by artistic
singing.

"SHAMS' MORRIS REPUDIATED BY
COLORED VOTERS OF
CHICAGO.

Editor of The Colored American:
1t will interest your readers to know
that at the primaries of the Republican
party, held in this city on Friday, Ed
ward H. Morris was overwhelmingly
defeated, mainly by colored voters. Mr..
Morris did not even control the votes
of his own precinct and ward. One of
the men responsible for this defeat was
Mr.. Edward Green, a strong and pOpu-
lar colored man. The cOlOred people
of Chicago feel much encouraged over
this victory, and are determined to be
represented in the futI re as far as
possible by only decent and reliable
colored men.

THE SENATORIAL FIGHT.

At the present writing it is impos-
sible to tell how the Senatorial fight
stands. Each claim 81 votes, count
ing the hold over Senators. The Ap-
peal understands that Nixon claims
two OF the holdover Senators elected
by the Fusion party two years ago.
Now the Appeal is willing to admit
that Nixon's money can buy a gooc
many votes on election day but it is
unwilling to admit that all the money
in the hands Of the Republicans can
purchase two hold over Senators who
have already been elected by the F>us-
ion party.
Such a bargain and sale would give
Mr.. Nixon but an empty honor At
best and the names Of the men who
betrayed their party for money would
be covered with obliquy and contempt
They would be tarred and feathered.
Should Mr.. Nixon win without the
open purchase of two holdover Sena-
tors he will be acquiring an office
without the glory Of having won 1t
in a fair manly fight such as John
Sparks conducted during the entire
campaign.
The nastiest feature Of the fight was
the running of rump legislative tick
ct in Washoe county doing business
under the pretense of being for SPARKS
In all the history Of Nevada politics
nothing has ever approached this as
the limit of pot house politics.
Some Of the men who were on that
ticket under the mask of helping
Sparks, when they were there solely
for the purpose of defeating him, were
men who had received Office and emo
luments from the Silver Party. They
had eaten the bread Of the party fol
years and were trying to shuttle the
ship.
