TWO BRASS BANDS

Two Itaiian bands -t1e one on H. L
M-'s-ship Liguria and the other on
the u. 5, s. BuTalo-for a time made
the waterfront vibrant with classical
music, both in alienation and in duet,
when the sun went down last night.

their eyes to imagine themselves on
the shores of the Bay of Naples.
All at once wild burst of melody

into the arena with a concertina. His
arms were strong and the walls of the
instrument tough. He played the

beaten. Their members thrust their
brazen horns into the bags and there
was an abrupt ending of the combined
band concert. In two minutes, a quail

QUESTION Of RANK
IN OFFICIAL CALLS

Acting Governor Atkinson has thus
far not been officially notified of the
coming or the presence in Honolulu of
Prince Luigi, Due des Abruzzes and
cousin of King Of Italy. who arrived
yesterday aboard the italian cruiser
Liguria-
From this fact alone it is shown that
the Prince has not been heralded on
his present cruise as a Prince OF the
reigning Italian house. as he is travel
ing merely as the captain of the
cruiser.
Under these circumstances it is prob
able that the first cali to be made as
far as the Hawaiian Government il
concerned viii probably be made by
Captain luigi on Acting Governor At
kinson.

Mr. Hill noticed while watching the
preparation for the launching that sew

pared TO the dose he received from an
old farmer on the day of his graduation

81 have seen the newspaper reports
of the modification Of the ruling Of the
department of the interior at Wash

swamp" said State Auditor Iverson
yesterday. 81 am not certain. however,
just what is meant in the necessarily

at is probable that the department
has ruled that squatters on lands
claimed by the state may introduce
evidence to prove their contentious as
to the character of the lands, and if
this is the fact I am glad of it. The
state has no wish to deprive any set
! tier of his rights, and our objections
to the Bede bill were based on fear
that there was to be a wholesale at
tempt to grab lands and put the state
on the defensive to prove that the
lands were really swamp, as shown by
the original field notes. / expect to
know definitely within few days Just
what the department at Washington
has ruled, and will then be in position
to discuss the matter intelligently."

MANY EXHIBITS FOR
STATE ART SOCIETY
Over One Hundred Already Ac-
copied for the Annual Ex-
hlbltion at st. Cloud.

-
s. Visitors to the state capitol, who
have looked into the large committee
room on the third floor In the course,
of the past week, have found a strange
scene OF confusion. In all parts OF the
room the floor has been Uttered with
bales of excelsior, rolls of cotton bat
ting and sheets of tissue paper, or piled
high with lumber and wooden boxes
and packing cases of every concelv-
able shape and size. The room has re-
sounded with the noise Of the hammer
and saw, and in every respect the
place has resembled the shipping room
of a large mercantile establishment.
Amid all this confusion of common
place utilitarian things and rough ma
terials might here and there be fround
some dainty and fragile work Of art, a
sculptured statuette perched precar1-s
ously on the corner of a packing case;
oil paintings leaning against the wall
In juxtapositionetosp piles OF. rough-faeed
boards bristling with protruding nails;
a delicate water-color sketch lying IN
bale of excelsior; bas-relief plaque
leaning against chair; pieces of ham,
mered brass, wood carving and arch1-
tectural work lying about on des2s, and
plaster busts on the floor.
Inc explanation OIL IDl5 COill uSioliOl
the esthetic and the vulgar materials of
workn anship is in the fact that the
Minnesota State Art society has used
the ecofnnlittee room in receiving con-
tributions to its annual exhibition and
preparing them for shipment to st.
Cloud, where the exhibition Will De
held, Beginning April 4.
Over 100 Exhibits Accepted.
In this room every piece Of work in
tended for competition in the exhibit
ton has been received in the past week
or ten days, and after being viewed
and accepted by the exhibition com
mittee, has been repacked for ship
ment Thus far more than 100 exh1b-
Its have been received and none have
been rejected.
In the work submitted is represented
nearly every classification of art ana
the art crafts, and connoisseurs Who
have seen the exhibits say there IS
much among them that is highly arts
tic. The work for exhibition is all by
Minnesota artists, as the competition is
confined to those of this state; but as
nearly all of those who are eligible I'M
der that ruling will be represented, the
display will be a large one. Paintings
are perhaps the most numerous, and In
this class there are some specimens
that have been pronounced to be OF
high merit. In modelling and WOOD
carving there is a great variety OF
work.

Inundation Threatened.

TRUCKER, Cal, March 1S.-The big
dam at the source of the Truckee riv-
er, which confines the water of Lake
Tahoe, is in immediate danger of CIV
ing way. A force of men is trying to
strengthen the structure, but there is
little material available at this time of
the year. The Truckee river is run
ming at high water mark and if the
Tahoe dam should go out the damage
would be inealculable. Many dams are
in danger, besides all the industries
along the river and the farming lands
at Reno, which depend upon the irri-
cation, rely upon the waters annually
stored in Lake Tahoe.
