YESTERDAY AT TIE OPER4.
"Tannhauser' Finishes MIR. HurEstaller
and MIR. DIPPED Finishes 'Trnnheuser."

A strenuous week IT the. Metropolitan
Opera House came TO a conclusion yester-
day with two performances. In the after
noon Les Huguenots' was sung with Nine
de MHochi instead Of Nine Nordica as
Valentine. The part proved TO be better
suited 20 this singers voice than any other
role in which she has teen heard here
Her voice is not one of natural beauty. but
its best qualities are displayed in the upper
levels and in.excted utterance. Hence in
some of Valentines scenes she was able to
be Mt least vigorous.
The other members Of tho cast were the
same as heretofore. Mr.. Caruso has gained
in freedom in his Raoul. but he still shows
a certain amount of timidity in the music
Why a singer who can reach high ID should
deem Il necessary to transpose some OF this
music downward Is problem which he alone
can solve.

gave up.

who consented 10 appear, after learning
that the opera could not COON without him.
There was a long intermission between
the first and second acts. The audience
became impatient and endeavored by
frequent bursts Of applause 70 coax the
curtains apart. Finally Max Hrsch APP
peared and made the necessary announce
inent which was received with relief, Mr..
Hirsch said:
Ladies and gentlemen Mr.. Burgstaller
has been attacked by hoarseness and finds
il impossible to finish the performance.
Mr. Dippel, however continued applause,
has consented to go on, although he IL
himself indispoeed. He is now in the
dressing room being prepared. We ask
your kind indulgence. More applause.
This was regarded as n happy delivery.

The fourth afternoon concert of the Bos-

pianist and composer The work which
he offered was his own second piano con-
oerto. opus IL, f major,
Like his first piano concerto, this Is In
one movement and discloses a laborious
design with community of theme, harmonic
sphin1es, rhythmic developments and all
the other paraphernniia of the organic unity
system. The work begins with an allegro,
and the orchestra proclaims the first prin-
cipal theme. leaving to the piano the an
nounoement of the second. Both are
vigorous and declamatory.
There ia a cantabile theme given out by
both orchestra and piano but the 9th r
two are the chief materials OF the com
position. The Programme book contained
a condensation of the composers own
analysis OF the concerto. Twenty years
ago. this would all have been reprinted in
to-day'5 papers but criticism is not so in =
genuous as 1t was. The town does not
need primer every day now
IL Is enough to say that Mr. d Albert EN-

greatest OF these is echerzo OF the other

Fresh country air is wholesome
and a sovereign remedy for mary of

a great work, and not the least fea-

promote a love for the beautiful in

RUSSIA AGREES
TO MEET HERE
Accepts Washington AS the
Place to Hold Peace
Conference
JAPS CLOSING IN ON LIHtVITCB

St. Petersburg June 19.-Russia has
finally and definitely accepted Wash
lngton as the meeting place of the
Russian and Japanese plenipotentiar-
les, the foreign Office having waived
It's request for reconsideration at the
personal direction Of the emperor,
whose desire to give the fullest and
fairest opportunity to President Roose-
velt's proposal for a peace conference
is hereby manifested.
After the conference with Ambassa-
dor Meyer, Count Lamsdorff the for
eign minister, went to Peterhof and
laid the matter before the emperor,
who, on learning that insistence on
The Hague might endanger the nego-
tiations. directed Count Lamsdorff to
inform Ambassador Meyer that Rus
sia would accept Washington.
Count Lamsdorff issued a public an
nouncement of the selection of Wash
ington.
The result is looked upon as a de-
cided triumph for American diplo-
macy.
Although the way has thus been
smoothed for a peace conference the
operations in Manchuria appear to be
in full march toward a big engage
ment the Japanese having pushed for
ward as far as Liaoyangchungkeng

river. 33 miles north of Fakumen. The
Japanese have strong forces here as
we'll as in the rear OF Lieutenant Gen
eral Linevitch's advance detachments
near Chantufu. and even threaten the
flank of the fortified positions at Sip
ingai, where General I.inevitch intend
ed to offer battle. but from which he
pushed far to the southward during
the months of inactivity on the part
Of the Japanese army. II is not known
here whether General Linevitch will
retire slowly on these positions OF
whether. as he intimated recently in
an interview with the correspondent
OF the Associated Press, he intends tc
meet the Japanese flanking operations
to the westward by a counter offensive
movement
