MUSICAL NOTES.

Signor Giuseppe Campanlari, whose
artistic performances as a member OF
placed him in the front rank of barry
tones of the day, will not be with the
company next year. Beginning in Oc-
tober he will be heard in concert work
with a company of his own, singing
principally in the east, south and mid
die west.
Felix Weingartner, whose artistic
| achievements are not confined to the
baton alone. has just published a short
biographical and critical study of the
Swiss poet, Carl Spittele This is not,

One of the many reforms promised by
Heinrich Conreid when he assumed di-
rection of the Metropolitan grand opera
enterprise, but which was found inn
practicable last year, is now assured for
the forthcoming season. The Italian
operas will be sung by italians exclus-
lively, or nearly so, and there is expect
ed an increase of effectiveness that

BILE and expense
The 11-year-old violinist Franz Won
VecSey has conquered London, as he
had conquered the cities of Germany.
Several extra concerts had to be given
by him, and the critics are unanimous
in his praise. The ease with which he
overcomes difficulties is described as
positively uncanny. ana the elegance Oh
his phrasing as incomprehensible in so
young a player. One writer predicts
that he will be such a player as the
history of music knows not at present.
For all the famous violfnists have had
their limitations, whereas Franz Won
Vecsey is equally good in all schools of
music. Paganini and Bach came alike
to him; he excels in virtuoso music, and
yet has warmth and sentiment, as he
showed once again in an arrangement
of Schubert's Ave Maria played as an
encore after the Tartini sonata.
Sir Arthur Sullivan left at the time
of his death, some unpublished manu-
script songs, which were afterwards ac-
quired from his nephew by the firm of
Novello. Two of them have been just
published, and are entitled Longing

The last is a setting of Edward Allan
Poe's well known poem, and will be
heard at several London and provin-
cial concerts during next autumn.

SUCCESSFUL
SUBMARINE
UNITED STATES VESSEL TESTED
IN HAMPTON ROADS AND FOUND
TO WORK WELL.

NORFOLK, Va, June 24.-The United
States submarine torpedo boat Adder
under command of Lieut.. Frank L. Pin
.ney, has returned to the torpedo sta
ton at this navy yard after most sue
cessful series of trials in Hampton
Roads.
After satisfactory diving tests on the
days of the trials, the submarine mo-
march, with her auxiliary electric power
lat work, and a crew of nine including
her commander, sank beneath the sur
face and then began her underwater
run from SeawelPs Point, opposite Old
Point Comfort, across Hampton Roads
howard the middle ground light in
Chesapeake bay.
Everything worked to perfection. The
submarine was guided across the Roads
within close proximity to the middle
ground light, and returned to the point
of starting the entire distance of about
three miles being covered under the
Surface in forty-five minutes, without
rising for an air supply.
On returning to Seawell's Point the
Adder's batteries were recharged from
the Siren, and she remained alongside
the gunboat during Wednesday night
The greatest part of yesterday morn

ing was spent in maneuvering about
the Roads.
In the afternoon of yesterday the Ad-
der was again subjected to a submerged
test Two midshipmen attached to the
Truxtun were allowed to make the des-
cent below the surface in the cigar
shaped craft, and enjoyed their expert
ence immensely.
The Adder's performance was per-
fectly satisfactory to Lieutenant Pinney
in command. He was seen at the
naval torpedo station after the arrival
of the Adder and her convoy the Siren,
and expressed his satisfaction at the
showing made by the craft. He stated
that the trials at this time were made
more for the purpose of testing the
machinery and other mechanism in the
submarine than for the establish. ent
of records. The submerged runs of the
