American Music.

Even the severcst critic of American
music-and most of the critics vie
with each other for this title-cannOt
deny the presence of an extraordinary
and ever-increasing creative impulse
in American musical art. While, for
reasons TO be considered, few Ameri-
can works in large forms come to gen
eral public performance and scarcely
TO local, every year witnesses a nota-
BILE increase of orchestral works, cham
Der music, piano and vocal works in
large forms, and other compositions
by American composers. OF smaller
piano compositions and songs the sea,
sons bring forth an appalling quantity,
and too often, it is true, an appalling
quality as we'll; yet in the midst Of
this saturnalia, declares Arthur Far
we'll in the Atlantic, appear many
works of true distinction, of breadth
and beauty, works infinitely in ad-
vance of those usually chosen to repre-
sent American music on artists pro-
grams. And from time to time an
American opera rises from the com.
posers consciousness to completion
never to performance-and sinks again
into mysterious obscurity, oblivion,
or temporary neglect-we are fain to
know which.

TWO THOMASES INDICTED
GOTHAM FiNANCiERS ACCUSED
OF LAW VIOLATIONS.
Special Grand Jury Returns True Bills
Against Them-PIead "Not
GUILTY."

New York Edward X. Thomas and
Orlando f. Thomas, who are finan-
ciers of extensive interests, were in
diCted Thursday on charges growing
out of their management of the funds
OF the ProVident Savings Life Assur-
ance society, which they controlled.
The indictments which were returned
by the special grand jury for New
York county, that has been investigat-
ing the Providcnt Life and other finan-
cial institutions, are three in number,
two being against Edward r. and one
against Orland F. The offenses
charged are violations of the state in
surance laws and constitute a misde-
or years Imprisonment, or both, on
each count. Late Thursday afternoon
the Thomases were arraigned, plead
ed not guilty, and were given two
weeks in which to change the pleas
or demur, meantime being admitted
to bail. Justice Bowling fixed bail at
$4,000 on each Indictment In the
first Indictment against E. r. Thomas
he is accused Of "unlawfully being
pecuniarily interested as a beneficiary
in a loan from an insurance company
doing business in this state of which
corporation he was then and there a
director" This indictment deals with
a loan made by Thomas from the firm
Of Thomas, Maclay & Co., stock
brokers. On April ., 1907, Thomas
was customer of the firm, and in
dcbted to them on demand loans in
large sums. At the same time, the in.
dictment alleges, Thomas, Maclay G.
Co were indebted to other financial
institutions, the loans being secured
with stock and other securities of
Thomas, Maclay & Co.. and of their
customers.

OUR WARSHIPS GOOD As ANY
REAR ADMIRAL cAPPs REPLIES
TO MAGAZINE ARTICLE.
Chief Constructor of Navy Answer
Criticisms Before Senate Naval
Committee.

Washington. - Rear Admiral Wash.
2gton Lee Capps, chief construc-
or of the navy, Wednesday be-
ore the senate committee on ma.
7al at1airs replied to the mag
lzine article written by Hen
y Reuterdahl in criticism of the con.
itruction of American battleships. The
admiral asserted that the American
ships are the equal of ships of any
navy of the world. The most serious
,harges made, he said, were of insult
icient free board, meaning height
rom water line to deck; insufficient
gun height, and improper location OF
main line armor belts, and all these
le explained have been the subject
If the closest study and experiment
'or many years by naval designers
d every country. Admiral Capps
characterized as exploded" the the
Dry that if shell penetrated the ar
NOR plate at a slight incline it would
be DETECTED upward by the armor
Of the protected deck. "All Efforts he
added, should be directed toward
keeping the shell out; all the armor
should be put on the ship in vertical
form"
Put it all on the outsider" re-
marked Senator Tillman.
Exactly, for if a shell goes through
II inches of armor it will explode any
way. The protected deck would not
be a protection at all"
The admiral said the fact that in the
Dreadnaueht class in Great Britain,
and the Delaware class in the United
States, the forward free board has
heen made one deck higher than the
previous class does not indicate that
the latter was too low.
They are just right for their type
he said. The Delaware is made high
forward because she is designed on
finer lines, much longer, and for great
er speed. which, of course, casts the
spray higher. No increase has been
made in the free board except at the
bow"
He stated that during the five hours
firing in the fight of the sea of Japan,
the rapidity OF firing from big guns
of Japanese vessels was only one
fourth of that maintained by the
American navy during recent target
practice.

Outrage in Buenos Ayres.
Buenos Ayres.-A dynamite bomt
was thrown Friday against carriage
in which President Alcorta was driv
ing, but failed to explode. Four per
sons were arrested charged with com
plicity in the plot. Recently there
has been political unrest in Argentine
owing to the issuance January 26 OF
an executive decree closing the ex
traordinary sessions of congress anC
putting into effect for the current
financial year the budget of 1907
This extreme measure was made nee
essary by the obstructive tactics of 8
majority in the senate which made
impossible the passage of the budget
or other legislation.

The last Vcstige of the EamOus old
ialace of ST. Cloud has been removed
by the pulling down Of the railway sta
rion reserved for distinguished and
royal visitors to the Emperor Nicholas
III. and the Empress Eugenie when in
residence in St. Cloud. As will be re-
Inembered by many a tourist, the little
station was thiCkly oyergrOwn with
grass and weeds. Birds had built their
nests in the imperial waiting room and
lusty young trees had grown up in the
reserved space around the station No
train had stopped at it for 81 years! A
Paris correspondent writes that the
last oCcas.2n on which the station was
used was GA the day of the French
declaration Of war on Germany, when
the officers Of the imperial guards were
conveyed by special train to lunch with
the emperor.
