the arbitration treaty negotiated by

against the new convention. More
over, this opposition has developed
before anything specific as to the ma

WANT NEW BANKING SYSTEM
Mexico on the Eve of Financial Re-
FORMS


Mexico is on the eve of great finan
cial reforms. Jose Yves Llmantour,
minister of finance and public credit,
has been in negotiation and in confer
ence with leading financial, CONNER
cial and banking men of the republic
for several weeks.
The result of these conferences has
been declared in a circular which has
just been issued by the department of
finance, making an exposition of the
aims and desires of the government,
and calling a conference of banking
men in the near future to devise ways
and means for the reform of the public
credit system. Minister Limantour
in his invitation to the bankers and
other important business men, said in
part:
1.-THE difficulties that have grown out
of the recent financial crisis in the
United States, and which rapidly
spread to all parts of Europe, have
revealed deficiencies almost irrecon-
cilable with the duty of affording a
substantial guarantee to all those who
with their capital or their labor, CO
operate in the advancement of the
country. This is, therefore, the op
portunity to use your aid in advancing
the betterment of our conditions

PACIFIC COAST STATE FAILURES
Exactly Same Number Occurred in
1907 as in 1906.

A remarkable coincidence appears
in a summary of business failures
compiled by the Bradstreet company,
in that the number in the Pacific
states for 1907 and 1906 were exactly
the same-653 1t is also noticeable
that the failures for those years were
considerably less than in 1905 when
they numbered 7S0 or in 1904 when
there were 1854.
Another striking feature of the fail
ures in Pacific coast states last year
was that the assets and liabilities far
exceeded those of the three preceding
years. The total assets of failed con-
Germs in 1907 amounted to $16,977,337,
and the largest of the three previous
years was 1904 when the assets were
$3,424,S26 In liabilities similar diff
ference is shown, those for 1907
amounting to SIG, 666,74A and for 1904
to $5,307 ,058.

GIL NPOlOSy.
Picking, March 10.-With the posi-
bility of seeing their nation plunged
into war with the millados subjects
over the Tatsu incident. great, though
subdued, interest prevails among the
residents of this city. If the Chinese
authorities have determined upon their
reply to Japan's ultimatum that an
apology must be forthcoming for the
tearing down of the Japanese flag
over confscated property, as we'll as
the surrender of the craft, the en-
peror's subjects nave not been taken
in on the secret The greatest alarm
still prevails.
The sending of the ultimatum has
lessened the chances for war. Among
the more conservative, however, alarm
prevails that no way out of the di-
lemma may be reached Japan's ex
pressed desire to avoid complications
if possible has given encouragement to
those who mold to the peace view.

NINE. BLAUVELT
TRUE LYRIC
HIGHEST TYPE OF MUSIC REP
RESENTED BY THE ARTIST
WHO is TO GIVE RECITAL Ar
TEMPLE SATURDAY NIGHT.

The announcement that Nine.
Blauvelt, Americas greatest lyric
soprano, was secured to give re-
cital at the Temple theater Saturday
night has been received with enthu-
siasm by music lovers in the city. 1t
has also given rise to many inquiries
as to what lyric soprano is. Those
wise in the nomenclature of the pro-
fession tell US that it is in contra
distinction to two other widely diff
ferent styles of singing designated
as the coloratura and the dramatic.
In contradistinction to the colora-
tura, who addresses her efforts to
the musical intellect of her audi
ence, and to the dramatic singer,
who appeals to the eye as we'll as the
ear for the effects desired-the lyric
voice, on the other hand, is the bear
er of a message from the soul of the
artist to the heart of the listener;
and that voice must do the work
alone. Singer and nearer must ele-
Nate themselves to the highest plane
of the imagination, where the sub
jectiye mood is dominant. Every
passion OF the human soul may be
conveyed, but only through the me-
dunn of the artists voice. Trills,
runs, etc, may be introduced. but
their effect is sought to kindle the
imagination and fire the soul-not
to bedazzle the mind. The diva 8
skill and superiority will manifest
itself as readily in the rendition of a
simple ballad like Home, Sweet
Home. as in the finished produc-
ton of the grand opera "Lohen-
grin"
Lyric song Is said to be the high
est type of music because it utters
the most eective appeal to the imag-
nation. 1t is reasonable, therefore,
to conclude that the lyric singer is
the most enjoyable and uplifting of
ell, Inasmuch as Lillian Blauvelt is
generally conceded to be the great
est living lyric soprano, the claim of
her admirers that she is the fore
most prima donna of the day de-
ponds upon which style of singing
shall receive the popular verdict
