Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 3.-From the reports
| that have been received within the last
| forty-eight hours regarding crop conditions
and of the probable s1ackening in business
| throughout the country, prominent stock
exchange operators do not look for any spe-
cial change in the market this week. If the
| market for copper metal continues to de-
cline. 1t is predicted that the principal cop
per stocks will be attacked by professional
| operators and that they will be liquidated
to some extent by actual holders.
In connection with the statement In
Washington dispatches that the position of
the Hartman railroads will be carefully
discussed at an important conference in
that city within the next few days. intima-
lions have been received here IL prominent
interests that the Investigations will not be
carried further. 1t will be recalled that
week or ten days ago the Washington cor
respondent OF Boston paper claimed to
have good authority for the statement that
Mr.. Hartman had practically been given
clean bill of health by the interstate
tigation of the Hartman lines. and )articu-
larry Of Mr.. Harriman's management of
them. would be dropped. According to In
timations received here within the last
Boston newspaper dispatch was essential
ly correct.
Private crop advices are not particularly
encouraging, and 1t is freely admitted that
unless the weather becomes much more ia
vorable for the growing crop very soon
1t will be necessary to give more Importance
than has hitherto been givent to this stu
! alton. Representatives of large corpora
tons continue to receive reports which in
dictate a tendency toward retrenchment in
nearly every line Of business
A prominent Mexican banking representa-
tive who Is in this city indicates that trade
conditions in his country have not thus far
been affected by the probability of a small
er volume Of business In the United States
On the contrary. he points out that the
earnings of the railroads and of the banks
are steadily increasing, and that the facil-
tiles of the railroads are inadequate to
handle the traffic offered. From what can
be learned the Mexican railroad merger
will be brought out In detail just as soon
as conditions in this center and London
seem to warra..: such action.

Coming Attractions

BELASCO-The Belasco company will
play one of r. C. Cartons delightful
comedies, His Excellency the Govern
or" this week. The piece is a capitally
devised satire on the British colonial
system and the story is ingenriously
told. The characters are varied and
will give the clever Belasco players a
fine opportunity for fun making. When
the piece was originally played at the
Empire theater, New York, several
years ago, Ethel Barrymore had the
role that will be played at the Belasco
this week by Lillian Albertson, the new
leading lady of the stock organization.
MASON-The Mason offering this
week, beginning tomorrow night, is

ran for $50 nights in Chicago, with Fred

in cold blood, nothing but the most de-
generate and disgusting emotions may
be found; 1t has not even the redeem
ing quality of pointing a moral "It
is simply and awfully rotten"
AS to the music, it is declared by the
best critics that Strauss has, technical
ly, surpassed any composer in the
worlds history in the orchestration Of
his work. Its production requires ia
men, and every one of that many in
struments is scored. While it is marked
by a wealth of color, a tonal magnifl-
cence seldom equaled and a musicianly
quality far above the average, it is yet
not remarkably novel in theme nor
striking in originality. 1t is magnifi-
cent, out limited in scope, and it's mot
ifs are not epochal. Hence, while OBJ
sessing one by it's plethora of mass and
it's chromatic splendor, 1t does not sat
isfy the soul. 1t is like the text in that
1t does not raise one to any great
heights nor does it thrill the soul
merely the intellect. Yet 1t is a most
wonderful piece of technical compost
ton.
This. in brief, is what Herr Conrled
wants his New York public to hear,
but what his directors forbid
Now, Conried's audiences are not
babies; they are full grown, and made
up of probably as blase a set of people
as any theater ever holds. They are
thoroughly familiar with vice, immor-
ality and life; they cannot be led
astray by a musical theme, nor be di-
verted from the paths of rectitude by
an immoral drama. Else would "Seig-
fried" Carmen" "Traviata" and half
score more be under the ban; all of
these are unfit subjects of polite dis
cusslon in drawing room, as to de-
tail. Grand opera is notoriously inn
moral when 1t comes to the theme de-
picted. So the fact that "Salome" Is
rotten seems hardly enough to make
1t taboo.
on the other hand, Wilde's text is
certainly sublime literary effort
considered merely as such. The writer
admits that in reading it he was de-
lighted-with it's craftsmanship. It is
technically brilliant. So is the Strauss
music. The combination is remarkable
for it's virtuosity. Why, then, should
full grown men and women be pro-
hibited from enjoying 1t technically
which is the only way 1t would appeal
to them? 1t hardly seems just. The
directors are CHASING themselves with
Anthony Comstock, rather than with
true art critics and lovers And Herr
Conried must be commended for his
determination to continue giving II II
he has to move II to another theater.
OF course, incidentally speaking, no
one defends the morals of the dance
OF the seven Yeils," nor the chaste
salutes which the burning lips of the
passion-mad Salome bestow upon the
Baptist's dead and bloody lips. Nor
does anyone deny that these two fea-
4 lures are strong drawing cards for the

, opera as a whole. But when "Parsifal'
was produced it will be remembered
the flower maidens' passionate revels
were equally looked upon as attracting
measures. as were the Broecken revels
in Faust" in it's day. We will become
accustomed to the seven dwellings as
we did to the diaphonous fascinations
of the flower girls or to the undraped
temptations of the Broecken fairies.
And a sight quicker, too, if they be-
come matters of daily fact instead of
forbidden fruit.
Sothern and Marlowe are also doing
"Salome" under another name, and
Miss Marlowe-our very proper Julia
lis dancing with the seven wells, but
you don't hear any great roar about
1t, do you? Simply because no dun
derhead directors have forbidden it;
that's ALL
And-here is the joke-the dance of
the seven veils' has been done in
America for the last fourteen years.
1t was first presented at the Chicago
Midway and arounsed then many pro-
testations, though now it is too COM
mon to notice. 1t was there done SIM

much artistry. Then, too, it had an
