FRANCHETTPS "COLOMB.'
French Critics Praise Opera-"Quo
Vadis" IN Paris.
SPECIAL by French Gable to The Tribune


Paris, Feb. 13.-AlbeFt Franchettls opera
"Christoph Colomb." given this week at Monte
Carlo is pronounced by the French critics TO De
a brilliant success The musical inspiration -
that of Massenet rather than of Wagner ana
the value of the work is considered to be higher
and of greater artistic distinction than are the
corapositions of Puccini or Mascagni. The
passages most highly commended are the duet
of the Queen and Columbus. the symphonic cpl
sodes OF the second act and the final tragic out
burst of grief manifested in the superoy
dramatic situation of Columbus before the tornp
OF his benefactress. The harytone, Iltto Fuio'
who sang the part of Columbus, received an
ovation. This is the first time that Franchetti
masterpiece has been given in France TOT
Monaco may. artistieally speaking, be reckoned
as part Of France. The result is such that the
work is likely to be produced at the OPel9
Comique, in Paris.
The opera of "Ouo Vadis." drawn from the
novel of NJ. Sienkiewicz. and composed by NJ
Nougues to the libretto of Henri cam was
brought out at the Nice Opera House on Ihufs-
day. and was enthusiastically received IheFe

VAR RULES MAJ FAIL
NaraL Delegates Seriously Ham
pered by Instructions.
Especial by French csbis te The tribune


London Feb 1S-The international naval
conference, after reaching an agreement on
many important points. is in danger OF preak-
ing up on side issues. One is a constitutional
question which ought 10 have been settled by
the American delegates to the peace congress at
The Hague since it relates to the United states
Supreme Court and the legality Of procedure for
referring cases to a prize court of appeal. Tor
an arbitration conference representing ten mari
time nations cannot undertake to settle con-
stitutionai question which interests the United
States alone. The American delegates will be
condemned as ohstructionists If they persist IN
bringing up toward the close OF the session ir-
relevant points which viii proong discussion
and create embarrassment They have been
seriously hampered already by instructions, and
may be forced 60 withdrew from the conference
unless they are allowed to exercise discretion.
This would be grave misfortune, since the
work Of the conference will be futile unless
unanimous action is secured or all important
points.
The main results of the conferences. II fexi-
bility be allowed. will be q definite agreement
respecting absolute and conditional contra
band and free list a law of blockade restric-
tions Of principle Of continuous voyages and
other questions Of beligerent and neutral rights.
The Importance of these decisions is illustrated
by the fact that cotton is the free list and
cannot be seized in wartime under any flag,
unless the ship carrying II heads for a blockaded
port. and by the additional fact that bread
stufs cannot be captured unless they di-
rectly connected with hostile fleet or garrison
and tainted as conditional contrahand.
These two safeguards of neutral trade will be
of immense value to American commerce in tms
Of war. and there are other decisive advantages
from the substitution OF definite code Of in
ternational law for the present anomalous
ditions Of admiralty practice. with every nation
a law unto itself The conference can adjourn
by February "a with results ef the highest
practical value. if the various governments will
hold off their hands and not interrupt the natu-
raj processes of conciliation. A convention COW
ering all important points except the transfer
Of merchant ships to neutral flags, is within
sight. but may be prevented by fussiness over
irrelevant issues outside the range Of the con-
ference. I. y. F.

problems to be worked out-problems
that grow out of MISUNDERSTANDING,
misrepresentation and even intrigues.
DICONTENT, POVERTY. UNREST.
There is a discomfort and poverty
in China; there is unrest. here is
something moving under the cover
from one end of that country to the
other and throughout its various pro-
vinces.
ut becomes the duty of Japan, there
fore, having the desire for peace, hav-
ing the desire for the industrial de-
velopment of China as her next neigh
Dor and her best market to observe
in spirit as in letter the terms of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance, which calls
for cooperation in the maintenance Of
the integrity Of China and friendly
promotion of common interests
This we propose to do. Even the
suggestion of aggression, of territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT on the part of Japan,
as far as China is concerned. is as far
from the truth as it is possible for
any one to go.
ut is peace we here in Japan want.
And peace we must have-not peace
at any cost, but peace with honor
1T is the demand for control by the
younger and progressive element of
China that forms the menace, not first
of all to any other country, but to
China itself A constitution is de-
manded.
ut is said a constitution is to be
granted But a constitution without a
carefully prepared and organized ad-
ministration must bring chaos, which
means revolution.
HOPE IN WISE MEN OF CHINA.
This is the spectre we see, and that
in way, we dread. But I have high
hopes that the wise men in China see
it also. And so will save their peo-
pie and the whole Of the far east, and
possibly Europe itself, from that
frightful condition of war that i'm
poverishes and is the curse of the
world.
ITO help in bringing about conditions
that will secure for Japan and China
a long period of friendly intercourse
and commerce is an object to which
we must devote both time and atten
ton"

Hawaii FOR COTTON

DR.. e. e. Wilcox, director Of the
Hawaii Experiment Station, i'm an adj
dress before the Hawaii Promotion
Committee, gave a decided opinion that
cotton can be grown proftably in the
Hawaiian Islands. He gave his
torical sketch of cotton-raising here,
showing that for several years, at the
time of the Southern rebellion, Ha-
wall produced from 10000 to 1000
pounds of cotton year. What is
called wild cotton here is in reality
the Sea Island cotton brought here In
the olden days. Cotton, DR.. Wilcox
said, was eminently the poor mans
crop, the expense of production being
slight. Sea island cotton, of which
225 pounds is produced to the acre on
the mainland under the most favorable
conditions, will yield 400 pounds TO
the acre here.

Gil, was seen in the library of his

CHINA PROBLEM FOR WORLD.
"China looms large and becomes the
problem of the day, not only for ia
Fan, but for the whole civilized world.
Consequently it is on China that our
best thoughts must be centered and
not upon Korea, where, 1 am glad to
say, the sword has been turned into
a plowshare.
Peace in the far east is essential
to the prosperity of Japan, Korea and
the possessions of this country. We
must use our every endeavor to pre-
serve peace.
"China is, perhaps, better understood
by Japan than by any other country
in the world. In q sense we have a
common language and common Gus
toms, and Japan has drawn from Chi
ma the best of a civilization extend
ing back four thousand years.
"To say that Japan is not a friend
of China is to say what is not true.
We are grateful to China for many
benefits received l am now speaking
of the best elements Of the society of
both countries.
Each is to the other unknown as
far as the masses are concerned. And
of late the masses in China have not
shown the most friendly attitude to-
ward the Japanese.
