To the Amusement of the world
at large Great Britain, deserving

door, AS second part to his
proposal he suggested that the
in Manchuria which would give
them an equal footing, diplomatic
ally, in the affairs of that country
with the governments of Japan
and Russia.
JAPAN AND RUSSIA REJECT
PLAN.
1t appears that Secretary Knox
made his proposal in the very best
faith, actuated by the desire to
put an end to the ceaseless dis
turbances growing out of the for
eign ownership of the Manchurian
roads, and depending for co-opera-
ton upon the favorable attitude of
the other powers as repeatedly eX-
pressed on various occasions.
Both Russia and Japan were to be
reimbursed for the interests they
sacrificed in giving up the roads
and were besides to share in the
loan and to retain footing equal
with that of the other powers.
With startling promptness and
despite the rather favorable init
nations given before the subject
was preached, Japan rejected the
schemes out of hand and Russia
followed almost Immediately. De-
spite these reflections there was
hope that the plan, endorsed in
principle by Great Britain and Ger
many, would still receive consider
alton and in course of time be
seen in a favorable light by spon-
sors for the open door, favored
it and it was not improbable that
following the slow and inscrutable
process of diplomatic processes of
diplomatic development the oppor-
tune moment would come.

Southern Pacific, Chesapeake and Ohio

trial issues, such as United States Steel,
Amalgamated Copper and American Smelt-

unimportant gains were recorded.
Additional fractional losses were scored,
bringing a number of important stocks
into the range of one point losses, such
as Reading, Union Pacific, Southern Pa

Copper and American Smelling. The mar

eipal stocks making up the greater part
of their losses.
There was no action to speak of in the
market during the early afternoon, prices
ruling about where they left off last week
on very small dealings; the American
Smelling stocks advanced point. Prices
were running off at o'clock.
The November tonnage report of the
United States Steel corporation, the suit
of the federal government against the
Southern Pacific company and the failure
of our bankers to secure any of the South
African gold delivered at London were
used as excuses to dePress prices, but
the absence of any liquidation under this
pressure caused the usual covering move
the strength of other issues in this class
was ascribed to last weeks decision af

prices were ruling at about Saturdays

tive of the south on the bench for sew
eral years.
Coming from family of judges, his
Iatner and grandfather having been on
the bench. Justice White has had a
Judicial Inheritance as well as legal
training. His knowledge of the civil
law is generally regarded as the most
profound of any man who ever sat on
the supreme bench.
OF late years he has developed a
specially for questions of interstate
commerce and his contribution to the
law of the land will last through the
years.
He was born in the parish of La
Fourche, La, in November, 1S45. His
parents were Catholics and he himself
processes that faith. His education
was in Catholic institutions.
In his. early youth he attended the
school at Mount st. Marys, near En-
mitsburg. Md; later he entered the
Jesuit college in New Orleans and
finally he went to Georgetown college,
Washington, D. c.
Justice White served in the Confed
crate army in the Civil war practiced
law in Louisiana; became a sugar
planter on it's lowlands. His ability
and high character were recognized
by the people in repeated commissions
as a public official. In 1874 he was
islature. Four years later he was ap-
pointed as the justice of the supreme
court of the state and served until the
new constitution went into effect In
1879, making all offices in the state
vacant.
In 1891 Mr. White became a ma
tional figure. A senatorial contest was
waged in Louisiana Mr.. White en-
tered the race. He had managed the
campaign of Governor Nichols for re-
election and had been prominent in the
reform element of his state. He had
fought vigorously in favor of the anti
lottery movement. The legislature fin
ally chose him to succeed Senator
Eustice
! Justice White was in the senate
three years before he was elevated to
the supreme bench by President Cleve-
land in 1894. In that period he distin-
guished himself on two occasions. Once
was in the debate on the anti-option
law, when Senator White made a pro-
found legal argument against the con-
stitutionality of the measure.
The other occasion was in the strug-
| gle over the repeal of the Sherman
| act, when he advocated the views
President Cleveland was known to en-
, tertain on the subject. His nomina-
| ton to the bench ended a memorable
contest in the senate.
Two New Workers had been nomi-
mated by President Cleveland, but
both failed of confirmation.
! Throwing to the winds the custom
which for So years had kept a New
York man on the bench. Mr.. Cleveland
named Senator White. He was con-
frmed within an hour.

HAS SPIRIT OF WEST.
Production of Puccini Opera Marks
Progress in New World.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE beginning
of a new period in the worlds progress
in music, marking further advance
in the westward course of art from
European centerS to the United States.
took place when 1.-The Girl of the Gold
the italian composer, based on he
American drama by David BelGsco,
was presented at the Metropolitan
opera house. For the first time in his
tory an internationally famous COM
poser has chosen this country to bring
out the premiere of an operate work.
Judged by the expression of musical
critics who came from abroad and ca
bled their reviews for the late editions
in Europe, by what the musical writers
inspiring ovation which came from the
audience that filled the Metropolitan,
THE Girl Of the Golden West" or La
Fanciulle Del West" is a work of rare
SUCCESS. Puccini and Belasco shared
alike in the plaudits and curtain calls.
Spectators named their own prices
for the seats that had come into their
hands. Though prices were doubled,
the demand ran away with the supply
and two chairs in the dress circle are
said to have been sold for 800 just be-
fore the curtain rose.
Puccini virtually selected the cast.
but to Belasco fell the task of develop
ing the stage business and, in fact, ev-
cry movement OIL the principals, even
to the minor Dy-playS.
There was establishment that Puc-
cini, an italian, could enter into the
American spirit of the old 40 days in
California, but every bar in the score
shows that the atmosphere of the
period is painted adequately in tonal
pictures.
Nine. Emmy Destinn sang the So
prano part of Minnie, the girl; Enrico
Caruso was johnson, her sweetheart,
while Sheriff Jack Rance fell to Anna
to, the baritone, and Dim GilIy,i was
Sonora. All the cast seemed to breathe
the free, venturesome spirit of the
early days in the Sierras.
The story of the girl, well known
through the drama, suffers little change
| in the opera, which opens with few
emphatic phrases of orchestration, en-
bodying one of the most striking mo-
! tifs of the opera
Puccini, in the second act, laid in
Minnie's cabin, where Sheriff Rance
| discovers the wounded Johnson, who in
reality is the robber. Ramerrez, found
| ed a dramatic situation which he rea-
| Lies with power. Minnie plays the
sheriff a game of poker for Johnson's
life or death, cheats the officer with
concealed cards and wins.
A California forest is the scene of
| the third act. Here Minnie finally
saves Johnson from hanging by an ap-
peal to the miners who in the past
| loved her and been befriended by her
Then with Johnson. the girl departs
| through the forest to their new life,
and music dies away in farewells.

Several reluctant witnesses were ex-
