The fact that the leading fnan-

1t is true that they would proba-

August to witness any boom in

they would certainly remain at

known as Frank Miller, whose
name has since been given as

NOT INTERFERE
WITH BEEF TRUST

ocrats find most serviceable, es-
pecially in New York, and accord
ingly the administration will be
especially cautious, not only re-
garding the things which it act
ually does, but in those things
that might give rise to false i'm
preston.
This decision was brought out
by the report that the admins
tration had about made up its
mind to bring proceedings in con-
tempt against the Beef trust. on
the allegation that the trust had
violated the terms Of the injunc-
ton laid on it a car ago by Judge
Grosscup. It IS denied that the
administration has reached any
such decision. though it is admit
ted that some such proceeding
against the Beef trust may be
taken later, if the investigation,
now under way, warrants it.
But it is said on authority, that
tile investigation has not been
completed yet, and may not be
for many weeks. In the mean
while, the trust will not be dis
turbed by the. administration.

Democratic criticism of Presl-

his interference is not warranted
has begun to have it's effect.
The President has apparently
realized that he has been more
active than good policy dictates
in a Presidential election year,
and he has therefore about decid-

refrain from butting in, except
when it is a cinch that he can do
so with political profit to himself.
This decision Of the President
is made manifest in an article in
squired from the White House
which has just been made pub

policy of the administration for
the next few months to avoid

The largest number ever present met last evening for the final public rehear- sal of the Choral union, which was held in City Mission hall, Orange street. The Choral union has never been in such fine condition. and musical critics present last evening predict concert of such excellence that New Haven, as well as Professor Haesche, will be proud. The soprano soloist, Miss Caroline B. Kingsley, in the Earl Kings Daugh- ter" has been taken suddenly i'll and will be unable to appear, and Mrs. Frances A. Smith, a member of the eel ebrated duartette of the Park Avenue church, Hartford, an oratorio singer of great repute, has been secured to fill the place.
 Miss Rose O'Brien, the contralto so- loist, of New Britain. is a pupil of Mrs. Franz Milcke. She has sung with the eminent Miss Rio, MT. Strong and MT. Bushnell. Her reputation is growing, and she is winning fresh laurels by conscientious work and great natural ability.
 The chorus rendered last evening The Earl Kings Daughter, by Niels W. Claude, and 'Phaudrig Crohoore, :" by Charles Viliers Stanford. The large number and fine voices of the chorus were inspiring.
 After recess Professor Haesche said he would take this opportunity to make a speech instead of at the concert on April 21. He then thanked the organ izers, the division officers and commit tees, who have taken such deep inter- est in the work of the union, naming Mrs. F. c. Porter, Mrs. H. G.. Thomp- son, c. Bancroft, F. Manwaring, Mir, Fogarty, o. Hendricks, Mir ScoviIle and F. c. Porter. As each name was spok- en great applause ensued Then F Whitaker the pianist and fine accom-
 
 and the applause of the chorus was SO great that Mir Whitaker was obliged to bow repeatedly his acknowledgements. The other officers and every member of the chorus received the heartfelt thanks of Professor Haesche.
 Cecil Bancroft responded to Profess sor Haesche voicing the sentiment of the Choral union and calling upon the chorus to give three cheers to show their appreciation of the devotion of Professor Haesche to his work with the chorus. The cheers were heartily giv- en, Then the chorus resumed singing.
 The following notices were given: The common tickets will be on sale, beginning to-day at g o'clock, at Stein- ert's music store, which can be ex- changed for reserved seats at the lily perion theater on Tuesday, April 19. The demand is very great for tickets, so persons wishing to attend are ad- vised to make immediate application.
