"TANNHAEUSER" SLOWLY GIVEN.
A Good Cast, but q PerfOr nance for the
Most Part Dull.

-Tannhauser" was performed last night
at the Metropolitan Opera House. Thefe
was a good sized audience, but the perform
anoe for some reason moved In a rather
dull and spiritless manner The cast was
good and Mr.. Hertz conducted with dis
cretion, but till the outbreak Of the be-
witched hero ia the hall Of song the repre-
sentation was without the vital flame.
Then there was a general warming up and
the finale Of the act had some oommunica-
tive force. Mr.. knote. the representative
OF TdaRhd user, at this point found himself
and the music for the first time at one Ia
feeling In the first act and in the duet
with Elisdbeh in the second his tone was
unoommonly hard and his style unusually
unyielding.
The Elizabeth was Nine. Gadski and
she too began in uncertainty. Her -Dich
theure Halle" was not at all as brilliant in
tonal quality as IL customarily 10 and once
or twice she was uncertain as to pitch.
But she sang the ensuing scene with Tam
hduser beautifully and the finale also ex-
cellently. Mr.. Goritz contributed an inn
psrsonation Of Wolfram. Mr.. Blass one OF
Hermann and Nine. Fremstad one Of Venus,
all Of them quite familiar to this public
None OF them differed in kind, but only de-
gree. from former days.

Presidential CamDaIEn t


There was harmony dinner OF Demo-
cratic radicals and conservatives at the pey
Auditorium in Newark last night in honor
Of State Chairman Robert $. Hudspeth
and those who made the fight for the Dem
ocracy az the recent Gubernatorial cam
paign. Aside from the tribute to ex-Sena-
tor Hudspeth the object Of the gathering
OF the 100 party men from all sections ~
the State was to inaugurate Informally
the coming Presidential campaign in the
State.
The fact that the party in New Jersey
has been divided was admitted and with
like franRness the State auxiliary com
mittee, which gave the dinner, conceded
that as long as this division remained both
a satisfactory candidate and consequent
victory are impossible. Appeal was made
therefore for a meeting of the faction
and the dinner, on the surface at least
seemed to score a success
In addition to Mr.. Hudspcth, the gue.i
OF honor. the guests of honor included ca
United States Senator James Smith, JF.
Representatives Morris Sheppard of TexaS
Swagar Sherley OF Kentucky and William

Fears were entertained by some OF The

be made to turn the affair into an anti

ENDING THE DRUCE BUBBLE.
London Newspaper Asserts That Il was Al
Fiction and Fraud.
Special CabIs Despatch 10 THE suN.


LONDON Jan. 3i.-There seems to he
every probability that the next few days
will sec the final dissipation of the Druce
bubble, which was pricked recently by the
opening Of the Druce grave in Highgate
Cemetery.
Lord Howard de Walden will apply to
the court on February 3 to dismiss as ve1-
atious and frivolous G. II. Druce's civil
suit claiming Lord dc Waldsn's share of
the estates Of the Duke OF Portland. Mean
while the Chronicle anticipates Lord de
WRlden's action by printing to-day what
10 describes as a complete exposure of the
whole matter.
Il declares that 1t has information that
neither G. ". Drnce nor the company he
formed is in a position to proceed with the
suit against Lord De Walden. IL says:
The whole fabric OF this deceptive or
ganization has been shaken TO its base. and
the shareholders will be convoked at an
early date and informed that there Is no
longer the slightest shadow of justification
in pursuing tho object for which they were
induced to part with their money"
The Chronicle accuses G. H. Druce Of
obtaining support by concealing essential
facts. His claim was fictitious from the
outset it says. His appeal to the pub
lie was based upon deliberate misrepre-
sentations. He knew when he put forward
his claim that Charles Edgar Druoe. the
descendant Of an elder branch Of the family,
with prior claim. was actually living. and
he made a compact with the latter to keep
in the back ground"
The Chronicle sets forth at great length
the details OF the family history, clearly
proving. II it's information is correct, that
not only a gigantic fraud has been at
tempted but that It has been bolStered
up by a monstrous abuse Of egal procedure
In the recent prosecution Of Herbert Druce
for perjury. II the ChroRiie's state
ments are substantiated there will un-
doubtedly be sensational arrests. IL is
difficult to see how some Of the lawyers
concerned can escape.

LONDON. Jan. 3O--The first vote taken
at the new session OF Parliament gave the
Government the comparatively small ma
jority OF 40. II was on a labor amendment
20 the address in reply to the Kings speech
regretting that in view Of the lack of EN-
ployment in the country the Government
had not recommended legislation on the
subject.
The Irish members, most Of the Unionists
and few Radicals Joined the Socialists and
Laborites. with the result that the amend
ment was defeated by vote OF 1876 to l46.
The Socialists and Labcrites cheered Justify
this encouraging result of their first tussle
with the Government.
BY far the best speech on the Ministerial
side was made by John Burns, president of
the Local Government Board. who in de-
Tending the administration of the powers
the Government possesses under existing
acts, roundly condemned indiscriminate
charity as advocated and adopted by some
we'll meaning PERSONS.
He referred incidentally 70 the bill the
Laborites propose to introduce in reference
TO the unemployed as promoting universal
pauperism. tempered by the iail He in
stanced the indiScriminate giving Of relief

able look, and despite his Ministerial rank

hanl. He received the dole without ques-
ton.
Referring to the Governments proposal
to grant old age pensions Mr.. Burns in
timAted that the measure would provide
for about 1 ,OOO, 200 persons. Inasmuch as the
lowest pension suggested thus far is Ave
shiliings weekly it can be figured that the
Government contemplates the annual ex-
penditure in pensions Of about Rl3 OOO 900.
