Especial Cable from the International
News Service)
London, March 26.-The financial
chaos in which England at present
finds herself, thanks to the rash ac-
tion of the house of lords in throwing
nut the budget. is disturbing the peace
that usually reigns here during East
er. England Is and always has been
. tax-ridden country. but SO used have
the people become to paying their
taxes without grumbling, that unlike
their American cousins the majority
of them send their checks to the tax
collectors long before the taxes are
due. They have done the same thing
this year although the government ow-
ing to the overthrow OF the budget
had no authority to collect any income
tax, and now many of them are clam
oring to get their money back, at the
time when there is absolutely no
money In the treasury and the bust
ness of the country is carried on by
loans.
II nothing has been done by parlia-
ment to pass some FINANCIAL legisla-
ton before Thursday next, thing
which is absolutely out of the ques-
ton, legal experts are telling the peo-
pie that they have just claim against
the government to refund the taxes,
and many taxpayers who have paid
up to $25O,O0O into the treasury, are
considering bringing action.
A condition like the present Is un-
paralleled of in English history.
dangerous competitor of the Standard
Oil company in the markets of the
world. and will at any rate undoubted-
~ be able to provide all the oil the
British navy will need, now it has
been decided to have oil take the
place of Coal as fuel.
Petroleum has. within the last few
months, been struck in large quanti-
ties at Jemsah. on the Gulf of Suez.
Wells have been drilled and two of
them have resulted in gushers, while
others are nearing the depth at which
they are expected to gush. From the
two gushers a daily production of 600
tons is estimated. The petroleum is
of high grade, equalling the best Am
erican oil. The strike has occurred on
the property Of the Egyptian oil trust.
Immediately adjoining this property
is the Eastern Petroleum company,
which deals with three areas of TWEEN
ty-five square miles each. The third

movement, and as the United States
has always been first, you may depend
upon 1t that some one in this country
will come forward with the thought
germ that will result in putting a stop
to the building of death-dealing ships,
and these vessels will be replaced by
ships of commerce"
Trusts May BE Issue.
Eyes, I have heard some of the best
lawyers in the country express the
opinion that the Government will lose
its case against the Tobacco trust and
the Standard Oil trust. Should the Su-
preme Court hold that these two giant
trusts have not violated the Sherman
antitrust law, then you may wager
that the trusts will be the issue in the
coming campaign" said Representative
Victor Murdoch, of Kansas, the leading
insurgent in the House. The Kansas
congressman has been giving careful
thought to the Tobacco trust and the
Standard Oil cases now before the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and
has read nearly all the briefs filed by
the lawyers. He asserts the defense
has put up a strong case, and it would
be no surprise to him should the SUI
preme Court be guided in it's decision
by the knight case. If it should do
so, an cutlery might follow that would
result in making the Tobacco and the
Standard Oil cases issues in the next
national campaign.
Officers Aid the Men.
So severe has been the treatment of
enlisted men, who when allowed per-
iods of recreation from their ships or
army posts, that it is not an uncom-
mon thing for the officers, especially
when soldiers are serving at a post
near one Of the large cities, to advise
their men to secure civilian clothes.
These, of course, they cannot wear
when in the post, but they keep them
outside, and when on leave or out on
a pass, can change them and visit and
mingle with their fellow Americans
without the fear of being insulted or
denied admittance to theatres.
One of the regulations Of the navy
make it serious offense. punishable
by dismissal, for an enlisted man to
bring civilian clothes aboard his ship,
or to be found with civilian clothes in
his possession. The sailor does not
have the same opportunity as has the
soldier to have a place where he can
change his clothing, when enjoying
shore liberty.
1.-The State legislatures should take
the matter up declared Assistant
Secretary Winthrop. Il trust the ques-
ton now raised will be kept alive I'M
IL it is firmly settled that theatre man
ayers shall not be allowed to discrim-
mate against men who wear the coun-
try's uniform"

Legislative Union Of the Once Di-
vided States Under the
British Flag.
A ROYAL PROCLAMATION
Cape Colony, Orange Free State,
Natal and Transvaal Are
Now All One.

PRETORIA, South Africa, May 81
The British province of United South
Africa was born today, when a royal
proclamation was promulgated an
nouncing the legislative union of the
territory of Cape Colony, the Orange
Free State territory, Natal and the
Transyaal.
The proclamation which places these
lands under a common legislative as
sembiy was read today in the same
hall in which eight years ago today,
the Boer leaders signed the treaty of
peace, acceding to the terms of the
British conquerors of the Transvaal.
The royal proclamation means the or
ganization of a South African division
of the British empire like Australia,
Canada and other divisions. The uni
ted states of South Africa, organized
today viii form new great division
of the empire. General Botha, who
was leading commander in the Boer
war against Great Britain, will be the
first premier of the new United South
| Africa.
The establishment of this south Afri-
can union under the British flag carries
out the plan of the late Cecil Rhodes,
who devoted his life to bringing the
! various rival South African states
under the British flag, as a part of the
British Esmpire.

One of the prettiest dinner parties ever given at the Country club was that a; which MT Thomas J. Watson was host last evening. The private dining room at the club was veritable grape arbor, with leaves and vines draped on a hid den trellis and clusters of Malaga and Tokay grapes hanging gracefully from them.
 In the center of the table was a mound of Parma violets and pink roses while al each plate lay clusters of the violets-- corsage bouquets for the girls and bou- tonnieres for the men,

those who knew the master before in darkened his character. remember that there was about him an animation, railing irony, and fund of amusing anecdotes. Saint Saens is great traveller and has been in Russia, Spain, Germany and America. He spends his winters in the Canary isl ands, reminding one of one Of Jules Verne's heroes. He often leaves home suddenly, not telling his whereabouts, and recently on the occasion of produ- cing one of his operas. the composer was nowhere to be found. Eventually he was discovered on a far-off island, scribbling verses.
 Saint Saens visited America in 1907- 08, and. appeared as conductor and pianist In a numbef of concerts. Writ ing of him then the critic says: Saint Saens appeared at Carnegie hall with the New York Symphony orches- tra, Walter Damrosch conducting. The venerable French composed played one of his compositions called Wedding Cake an entertaining fantasy of exotic folk themes jeu d'esprit with pleas ant tune and a pretty orchestral em- | broidery. He also played his Allegro l Appassianta." Saint Saens was undoubt- edly recognized in America as the greatest of living French composers. Although full of years and honors. Saint Saens Is still composing and re- mains in the limelight. On October | last A Beethoven Saint Saen festival took place at the Sarah Bernhardt theatre in Paris. The festival was to introduce new work for violin and cello by the venerable composer. Isaye, | the great violinist, and Holman, on the cello, introduced La Muse ct le Poet" under the direction of Mons. Saint Saens. The critics say this new work
 of the masters shows all the skill and lofty phrasing and true musical mold-
 Ing of this early composition. At
 this festival also Isaye played the Rondo capricioso in his masterful way

euced at Monte Carlo in 1904, all show skill and a mastery of varied emotional expression, but in the end the effects are rather studied than natural, as if these were the works of a prodigious talent rather than a great genius
 Saint Saens' art is brilliant, facile, ana admirably competent yet he has not achieved thehighest form of musical art He is master in knowing how to spin a musical web, perfect in detail. complete in construction. yet lacking in its mes- sage. Whatever Saint Saens does he does well. and at his birth the good angels Iaust have brought him all the musical gifts but one, that last touch as it were of the divine inflatus-that Is lacking His weakness might be said to consist in the indecision of his artistic principles. His art is chameleon like, so adroit in it's ex- ternal fashioning. yet so thin and worn Tn its inner substance. His compositions may be said to excel mostly by reason of their delft and ingenious utterance of ideas which are mediocre or derivative. Whether seeking piquant rhythm or a curious tune of harmony, Saint Saens is always an onlooker,, never the mystic who contemplates in his own heart the forces that underlie the universe
 Saint Saens Is to remarkable de- gress the complete Frenchman. Of Jewish extraction, dark with sharp features and an acquiline nose, keen intelligent eyes. Of less than aver age height. thin and intensely nerv- ous. Saint Saens is today the fore- most figure in the world of music in France.

and Madame Sarah, who was in the au- dience, joined in the wild applause and was so carried away by enthusiasm that dragging Mons. Saint Saens to the front she hugged and kissed him im- pulsively. The house was tumultuous and the famous musician was borne out In triumph by his countrymen.
 Mons. Saint Saens is a unique figure In the musical and literary world to- day He does much towards assist Ing the younger musicians, his contri- button in letters Is noteworthy.
 Harmonic ct Melodie" and Portraits ct Soucienis" are some of his best known literary efforts. Mons Saint saens is a striking figure in the musi- cal epoch of today--a musical epoch like the psychology of mankind Is con- stantly changing and the music of an epoch Is dead and can only be brought 10 life at the touch of the interpreter. Saint Saens is a Frenchman. His art IS true art, and his particular niche Tn our modern history of music can only be placed long after the message and music of Saint Saens will have been nltered through our epoch by the in- terpreter of a yet unborn tomorrow.
