A Fine Concert.

Ellen Beach Yaw fully sustained her
reputation as a marvellous singer at
the Opera House last evening. The
concert was one Of the most charming
ever given in this city and il is to
be regretted that so few people ava!led
themselves Of the opportunity to hear
perhaps the most wonderful vocalist
in the world. Miss Yaw fairly thrilled
her audience. l1er voice was by no
means all her charm. She was as
gracious and sympathetic as her sing
ing was wonderful. She seemed to
,apprecote her audiences enjoyment Of
her voice and again and again she re-
sponded to encores. Mr.. Macmillan
Dick proved himself to be a thorough
master of the violin. and Miss Leg
made good at the piano. Their selec-
tions were superbly rendered and were
greatly enjoyed. Miss Yaw need not
hesitate to return to Wilmington. Her
splendid work last night has firmly
established her reputation in our city
and a large audience win greet her
return.

Senator are FaSc--duPOntS Have No Favor
ite--POsitiOn MiSreprcSented

Fort several days reports have been
published in many newspapers to the
effect that the duPonts have been in
conference on the senatorial matter
and that they have agreed upon Harry
A. Richardson, the millionaire packer.
of Dover. to succeed Senator Alice.
Certain Philadelphia newspapers said
yesterday and this morning that a con-
ference was held in this city Monday
afternoon and a legislative and Sena-
torial slate was agreed upon and that
It was ratified at a dinner given by
DR.. L. II. Ball at his home on Monday
evening. The report stated that the
conference took place at the Equitable
Building and that General T. G. du-
Pont was present representing both the
state Committee, OF which he is chair
man. and his cousin, Senator Henry A.
DUPONT.
General DUPONT Denies It.
General DUPONT was seen this morn
ing and said there is not the least
truth in the reports so far as they re-
fer to him. He said, II have not at
tended any conference in this city or
elsewhere QeallnS IN any ildiiHtl Nlitt-
ever with the selection Of a successor
to Senator Alice. MY name has been
used without authority and my posi-
ton on the senatorial matter falsely
stated"
He was asked If he knew of confer
ence alleged to have been held in the
Equitable Building on Wednesday and
also if he had been a guest at DIT.
Balls dinner on Monday evening,
at which it is said certain New Castle
county Republicans agreed upon a sue
cessor to Senator Alice. Il not only
did not attend any such conference,
but do not even know that one was
held. AS for being at DR.. Balls dinner
I have not been in his house for two
years." replied General dupont.
Asked If he had a favorite for Sena-
tor, General dupont said: II have not.
That is a matter to oe settled by the
Kent and Sussex Republicans. think

be the next United States Senator, and,
besides it is probably that that matter
will be largely attended to by the
members Of the Legislature.
