the explosion which followed the ig.

Bell was starting a fire in the kitch.

from can supposed to contain kero-

There was terrific explosion and the
man was blown across the room, strik-
ing against the outer wall of the
house. His face was scorched and his
hair and beard burned off, but it is not
believed that he sustained any serious
injuries.
It appears that the family had occa-

J. A. Dahl and his son were found
dead in their beds at their home at

used in the sleeping room.
When the neighbors noticed that

was made and the two dead bodies

 The position of director and conduc- tor of the Imperial opera in Vienna is one of the most coveted in musical circles in the world. According, per haps. to American ideas the pay Is not very great-some 10000 kronen. or ss.o0o year. It carries 6 pension, however. after ten years service of about two-ffths of this sum--$3, 900. A handsome suite of apartments in the opera house constitutes about the only perquisite, unless one reckons the ar ray of orders and decorations. both Austrian and foreign, which are invari- ably conferred upon the director in cue course.
 As to the reasons for Mahler retir- ing from such a post all sorts of ru- mors and reports more or less prob able, are in circulation. It is affirmed in reliable quarters that hs has in- volved the opera in financial losses through engaging singers who after wards proved disappointments and whose contracts had to be cancelled.
 There are stories. too. of court ia. trigues on the part of the actors and actresses having influence in high quarters. For Mahler was not beloved by everybody, and the singer who had merely voice and not too much in- teIligence besides often writhed under his fiercely sarcastic outbursts. But with all his imratience of stupidity and his caustic tongue. the director was always striving to obtain the high est results. and as one critic now re. marks.

ID AMERICA
GUSTAV MAILER, GREAT OPERA
 LEADER, TO QUIT AUSTRIA.
VIII Conduct the Orchestral Musle lls the Metropolitan Opera House, New York-His Successes
 In Vienna.

Americas musical forces are to be nightly strengthened in the fall by the coming to this country of Gustav Mahler, director and conductor of the Imperial opera house at Vienna, and who is regarded in Europe as the foremost orchestral conductor in tho world, with the possible exception of Hans Richter. Austria musical circles are in despair over his leaving their, beautiful opera house, and the Metro politan opera house management, and music lovers of New York city are correspondingly elated that such a master hand has been secured for this country. For ten years Mahler has presided over the opera, not only con. ducting the orchestra, but acting as stage manager and general director, of the whole institution as well, with extraordinary brilliancy and success
 Whatever reasons, and these are not at present very clear, may exist for his departure nobody questions hisl transcendent talents and wonderful capacities. The well-known American singer Mrs Morris Black, now Ma dame Charles Cahier, declares that Mahler has no rival. Madame CahierI has recently signed six-year contract at the Vienna opera, and has had many opportunities of seeing andt studying Mahler at work. She says, l,
 Most undoubtedly Mahler Is theI greatest living orchestral conductor,| especially in the production of Wag.. ner, Mozart and other great classical authors. In this field there is no one to approach him. feel myself that [ never really heard Mozart until came to Vienna, where, under Mahler, hisl operas have been given with the most wonderful beauty and purity.
 Also as composer of orchestral music Mahler stands in the front rank. His Fifth Symphony, which has been played by the Boston Symphony Or, chestra with great success, is veryI highly regarded by competent critics
 It is seldom that an orchestral con- ductor displays any great ability in stage management, but Mahler proves the exception. He has wonderful technical knowledge of stagecraft, and seems as Nmuch at home in directing the performers on the stage as in the orchestra in front.
 Mahler Is Moravian by birth, hav- ing been born at Iglau some 40 years ago. He received an extremely good general education. and is man of great culture. His musical career has been devoted to conducting, with such time as he could spare for composing. His first post as conductor was in opera at Cassel, and he had also been in the operas at Budapesth and Ham, burg before, coming to Vienna. just ten

MAzAGAN IN PERIL.
Moroccan Populace Threatens
 to Rise at Fez.
CAID NACLElH STILL Il CAPTIVE.
Raisul swears He will Take Hos- tage Where All the Armies of Europe Cannot Rescue Him.
 Trfbesmen Furious.


 TANGIER, Aug. 15.-Wireless ad- vices here say that, the situation at Mazagan continues alarming, as tribes men continue to menace the town.
 Both there and in the neighboring town of Azemmour the prisoners in the jails have been turned loose. The caid of Azemmour has fled.
 Europeans and Jews leaving Maza- gan are obliged to pay for the priv ilege.
 The situation at Fez is critical, as the population is threatening to rise against the government, which is in no position to defend itself. The Flu ropean colony cannot leave the city without aid.
 The French cruiser Galilee restored calm at Rabat by threatening to bom- bard the neighboring holy city of sali. Assurances were given her command CT that Europeans would be safe, and the tribesmen who had congregated around Rabat went off to join the be- siegers at Casablanca.
 The Arabs then renewed their at- tacks upon the camp of the expedi- tionary force under General Drude at Casablanca. Two hundred horsemen made fierce onslaught in which they almost carried the advance posts. The fighting lasted all through the night.
 General Drude purposes on the ar- rival of re-enforcements to occupy sue cessively the towns of Ben Rechid,, Casa Mediouna and Settat, which are the centers of the wild rebel tribes.
 There is still much uneasiness here in regard to the safety of Europeans in Morocco.
 No confirmation of the report that Caid Sir Henry MacLean, the Eng lishman in the service of the sultan, who has been prisoner of the bandit Raisuli for some six weeks, has been released can be obtained A courier and servant from MacLean have just arrived here, and from them 1t is un- derstood that the news of the bom- bardment of Casablanca by the French made a very bad impression on the Kmass tribesmen and caused the sus- pension of the negotiations for Mac Leans release. The tribesmen are furious against all Christians and wish to be revenged on MacLean, who is protected by Raisuli. The latest let ter from MacLean is dated Aug. F.
 The British legation here has re- ceived a communication from Raisuli threatening that unless his terms are accepted immediately he would remove MacLean to place whither all the armies of Europe if united could not follow.
 It seems that Raisuli upon hearing of the bombardment and occupation of Casablanca succeeded in taking MacLean back from the Kmass tribes men, and he has removed him to strategic position in the neighborhood of Ben Iarous
