MR. WTLIIAMS'S SONG RECITAL.
4 Popular Conccrt Tenor ResPpears After
a Long Absence.


Evan Williams, a tenor who has been
in seclusion, 50 far as New York is con-
cerned, for some time, gave a song recital
at Mendelssohn Hall last night. The first
part OF his programme was composed Of
three o~ratorio airs with their prelimiD airy
recitatives. These were WAIT Her. An
gels, +" from Handel's -Jephtha;' "In Native
WORTH" from Haydn's Creation, and
The Sorrows Of Death" from Mendels-
sohn's Hymn of Praise" The second part
was B~eethoven's cycle, An die ferne Ge-
liebte,' after which came q new song OF
Cecile Chaminade, entitled Woodland
cycle, -Eliland."
Mr.. Williams is an interesting personality
in the vocal world. He has had his ups and

not been in vain.
. The first number, the difficult and hazard
Gus Handel solo, aroused doubts. The
recitative went well enough, but the canti-
lena was very uncertain in breath. How
ever. in the second number Mr.. Williams
was more at his ease, and when he came
to the splendid air of Mendelssohn, one Of
the noblest creations of that composer, he
was in full command of his resources. He
sang the air admirably and aroused the
enthusiasm of an audience largely COM
posed Of connoisseurs Of singing.
The Beethoven cycle Mr., Williams sang
in English, which was not altogether to its
advantage. However. he sang II with taste
and sentiment, albeit not with that deep
inner feeling which tn hest lieder singers
are wont to find in il. The Chaminade song,
which lay well in Mr.. Williams's voice, was
encored. Altogether it was a successful

GERMANS DEMAND MORE NEAT.
Denounce Government for Restrictions
on ImD0rtatiOu,


Special Cable Despatch to TEE SUN.
BERLIN, Nov. 2.-The Municipal Council
has o taken the lead in the angry move
ment against the Government which has
arisen from the high prices Of meat. owing
to the restrictions on the importation OF
foreign meats. The council, at a meeting
to-day, passed vehement resolutions de-
handing that the Prussian Government
heed the voice OF the people and relieve the
meat famine by opening the frontiers.
Burgomaster Kirschner declared that
unless remedial legislation was promptly
enacted the outraged people would rise
up In the next Reiohstag elections and crush
the greedy Agrarians and their official
supporters.
Gen. o Podbielski, Prussian Minister
OF Commerce, is held chiefly responsible
for the present situation. He Ia accused
OF burning Russian, Austrian and Dutch
meats in the interests OF the Agrarian party
OF which he is the head, with h result that
meat is excessively dear.
II is entirely beyond the means Of the
poorest, while other commodities have
risen similarly. It is declared that meat
has entirely disappeared from workmen's
tables and that it is regarded as more or
less OF a luxury by the middle classes.
The consumption ofshorsefesh il increas-
ing enormously, and in the remote districts.
where the pinch is felt the worst, dogs and
cats are eaten.

Alpha PHI GIRLS DINE.

Sorority Convention wound Cp With q
Banquet From which Man Was Excluded.
The convention Of the Alpha Phi Sorority
wound up last night with a dinner in the
small ball room Of the Hotel Aston. Two
hundred young women were present.
The unusual b~anqueters made an odd
sight that stirred wen the walters to stare

There they sat amid table decorations and
seemed quite as cheerful as if the Other

had seen banquets where there were only
men-military dinners and such-and the
other usual sort where the diners were
matched in couples. but a banquet at which
diners we're all feminine was more than they
could get over. Their 1uster lasted or right
to the ice cream.
The diners for their part were not en-
barrassed; they have been fraternizing-and
proving that women can fraternize-since
Tuesday. when the convention opened.
During courses rose the high hum Of fellow

1t may have been an orchestra manned by
men, but the fact was concealed by an
abundance of potted shrubbery When
the walters hurried out with the
Of a course the orchestra must have had
some means of seeing the progress OF the

Walters had to loiter outside the door to
hear a verse or so. The words sung we're
not the time honored versions, but verses
specially composed by Alpha Phi talent,
known TO every true emit and breathing
the members allegiance. Not until the song
gave signs of winding up did the walters
awake TO their duties and rush of all to-
gether for the dishes to come.
When the coffee was done the wait
ers wondered what would come next.

international regulation Of the use of wire

settled on the basis OF free intercommuni-

Throughout the conference Great Brit

supporting the British delegates against
their own convictions. Italy, from the

to the conference, and was described as a
regular bombshell.' The German Gov

hesitation.
Great Britain opposed It out OF considera-

that it was impracticable. besides being
an improper restriction to place upon in
