HAMMERSTEIN'S REPLY
Engages ZenatelIO of La Scala to
Replace B0nci-CaruSo Sad.

Oscar Hammerstein is perfectly calm over the
desertion Of Bonci to the rival opera house and
he countered yesterday with the announcement
that he had engaged for FIVE years Giovanni
Zanateo. tenor who has sung at La Scala for
four seasons who created the part of Pinker
ton in Madame Butterfly" and who is, accord
ing to Mr.. Hammerstein and Campanini. more
robust than Caruso and lyricaIly the equal Of
Bonci He is a young man. being only thirty
two years old. and his repertory includes the
new as we'll as the old operas.
MIR. Conried has to get up early 20 get ahead
of me-" said Oscar yesterday. L sorry that
he's sick. If he we'll I might make more
fuss about letting Bonci go, for have two
years option in my contract with him. To be
sure. don't know that he has signed with Con-
ried; I've not asked him. I've not decided yet
that his services are important enough to me.
Il knew, however, two weeks ago that some
thing in the air, so I signed Zenatello. With
him, Bassi and Dalmores hold my own
with any company, I guess"
Mr.. Hammerstein then proceeded TO wax hu-
morous. Il discovered ConrIed," he said. Il
brought him to the old Germania Theatre from
Germany. Later he opened monkey circus in
Wallacks Theatre and I lost faith in him But
now he's retaliating by discovering my discov
cries He's tried 10 get Campanini and Dali
mores away from me, too, After all. it's sort
of compliment. He waits for me 10 discover
the good artists for him"
AT the Metropolitan Opera House the engage
ment Of Bonci to alternate with Caruso next sea-
son was confirmed, and 1t said that Caruso
had written letter TO Bonci rejoicing in their
joint engagement.
But when Caruso was seen at the Cafe Martin
in the afternoon the rejoicing was not so ap-
parent A dapper young man, speaking for
Caruso, began to talk. "Caruso and Bonci are
good frienCs" he said. and he is glad glad
to have him the same stage He

Of eight lectures on the social and economic his
tory OF France at Sanders Theatre this afternoon
under the auspices Of the Cercle Francais Of IIar

The reward OF labor has neither relation to the

while such thing never happens to a horse. IL
i not necessary that there be any relation between
the prosperity Of Il country. abstractly considered
and the comfort of the laborinR classes
II IL also seen that corporations Of former times
had neither effect Influence salaries. The
state has taken active part in the increase OF
salaries. Therefore the social question Is not
political one; fl is exclusively scientific.
Cheap and dear living coincide iudistncty with
so that no conclusion be reached either with
