gagged 90 Conductor by Emperor's Consent

BosroS, June q Major Henry T. HiR-
ginson received n cable despatch this after.
moor from Charles A, Ellis. manager Of the
Boston symphony Orchestra, announcing
that by special permission 81 the German
Emperor Dr, Carl Muck of'the Royal Opera,
Berlin. had received q leave ~ absence Of
one year from October 1. 1875. and would
come to Boston TO he the conductor Of the
Boston symphony Orchestra.
His first appearance Ia this city will he
at the first public rehearsal Of the coming
season, on Friday afternoon. October 70.
Mr.. Ellis has been In Europe since the
middle Of April to secure a successor to
Mr.. Gericke who retired from the conductor
ship Of the orchestra at the endof the season
that is just finished.
Negotiations with DR.. Muck AVE been
in progress for some time, but his engage
ment was made most uncertain by the I'M
willingness Of Emperor William to give
him a leave Of absence from his important
duties in Berlin. This permission was not
received from the Emperor until thism morn
ing. when the contract was closed.
DR.. Muck has the reputation of being
one of the greatest conductors of Europe
and his musical career has been one Of
uninterrupted successes.
He was born la Darmstadt October p,
IlN NiHI war q iiii'Ai Ni' n
and intended him for a mercantile career,
After leaving the gymnasium in Darmstadt,
he went 10 Heidelberg in 1877 for a course
Of philosophy. After a years residence
there he went to the Lepisic Musical Con
~servatory. He continued his university
studies, which brought him the degree of
doctor of philosophy from Heidelberg.
Determined to be a musician, he made
his debut in 1880 as a pianist at a concert in
Leipsic. His success was one of the features
of the season, bur instead of pursuing the
career Of a pianist he Immediately pre-
pared himself to become a conductor. His
first post was in Zurich, whence he went to
Salzburg and afterwards to Gratz. His
first important post was the opera in Prague,
where he went in 1885 and remained for six
years.
His first appearance in Berlin was in 1891,
when he was a guest conductor at the
Leasing Theatre. In 1892 he became con-
ductor of the Royal Orera, at Berlin. He
has conducted at the Royal Opera at CO.
vent Garden and at symphony concerts in
London. Paris, ST. Petersburg, Moscow
Brussels, Madrid and Vienna.

WHEAT SITUATION BEARISH.
Nothing Short OF Disas ter Likely to Create
Risin g Market.

CHICAGO, June at is asserted by lead
assuming as bearish AN attitude as it did
last fall. The Liverpool market is dealing
under a pressure of supplies. Manitoba
wheat sold there under 911, cents. On
that basis our wheats with their penalties
would figure well below rs cents to go into
competition.
1t will require serious damage to u
growing crop to prevent prices from event.
ually working to a much lower level. These
same interests ave all along deprecated
the damage reports, even to the extent that
there had really been no drought in the
Southwest. They are firm in the belief
that this crop will prove a great one in spite
Of everything that may happen to it
barring extraordinary disaster.
There is every evidence of care on the
part of business men and farmers in every
locality, and railroad interests are preparing
for a heavy movement Of grain after har-
vest.
This would indicate that the bear Iarty
has sized the situation correctly, or nearly
so, as it is certain that farmers would cur
tail their expenditures il the crop outlook
did not appear bright.
Corn has ruled strong in spite of the
large movement, blu the trade has been
only moderately large. Bears are predicting
that the movement will be kept up for three
weeks more and that arrivals in Jun will
be the largest experienced in years.
There was good buying of oats and some
what frmer pfces because of the belief that
the recent rains came too late to materially
benefit the crop. Spectators bought on
prospects of a poorer crop than last year.

Sir Mortimer Durand, British Ambassador
to the United States, came back on the
steamship Lucania, which arrived here
yesterday
Il went to England" said Sir Mortimer,
because Of the recent change in Govern
ment; but | found that the same policy will
be continues and that the idea OF the present
Government lie little if any changed. There
are some personal changes, OF course. Sir
Charles Harding will be Under Secretary
for Foreign Affairs. He was Ambassador
at st. Petersburg. Things under Foreign
Secretary Grey are going on about as they
did under Lord Lansdowne.
Il found considerable interest in the
pre- servation OF Niagara, ana wnne the
quest ion will come primarily before the
Dominion Government, which already has
appointed a waterways commission to
cooperate with a similar commission from
the United States, the matter will also come
before the home Government. The question
is regarded as a large one and it will require
some time for consideration and action.
In regard to fishing both OF the Newfound
la ll banks and he ureat Lakes the Govern
ment's policy will not be changed
Sir Mortimer was met az tne pier Dy
Sir Percy Sanderson, British Consul General.
He had heard aboard ship of the attempt
upon the lives of the King and Queen Of
Spain, and deplored the act.
"The news was kept from us for a time, :"
said he, "out of consideration for the many
English persons aboard but when it was
learned that neither the King nor the Queen
was injured we got all the information,
While there is no treaty between England
and Spain the kindliest feeling prevails
and the wedding was popular among Eng
lishmen.T
OF the anarchists Sir Mortimer said that
it was to be regretted that at present there
was no law prohibiting their landing in
Great Britain unless they had been convicted
of crime. "But," said he, "the present
Government will no doubt pass some sort Of
a law looking to their exclusion" Sir Nor
timer went at once to Lenox and on Monday
will return to Washington.

SHOOT CASE IN THE SENATE.
Chairman Burrows Tries to Have q Date
Fixed to Act on II.

WASHINGTON. June 2.-The Smoot case
was aired for a few minutes in the Senate
to-day. Chairman Burrows Of the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections an
nounced briefly the action taken by his
committee yesterday in voting TO declare
Smoot not entitled to his seat and expressed
a desire that the Senate agree to take up
the case in the week beginning June II:
The formal report Of the committee would
be submitted next week, he said, and the
committee was unanimously of the opinion
that action ought to be taken at this session
Of Congress.
Mr.. Beveridge. representing the minority,
took the same view. He believed the
Senate wanted to act on the case at this
session.
MIR. Spooner questioned this statement.
He thought there was no occasion for
haste.
Mr.. Teller thought the question was one
which not only involved constitutional
questions. but appealed to the conscience
OF Senators as well. Il, for one, expect to
take the necessary time to consider this
case said he. He objected to fixing a
time for considering the case until the
formal report had been made to the Senate.
MIR. Burrows was seeking to explain when
Mr.. Hale declared the whole, discussion
out Of order. Mr.. Burrows begged for
time to explain, but Mr.. Hale insisted on
the regular order, and the Vice-President
sustained the point.
