ADJUSTMENTS.
Symphony Concert Delights.

Tie Washington Symphony Orchestra,
under the direction Of Heinrich Hammer.
who since 1910, when it absorbed the
Hammer Symphony Orchestra, has been
its conductor. furnished ample justiica-
ton, at it's concert at the Columbia The
alter yesterday afternoon. for it's appeal
for support by the music lovers of Wash
ington.
Aside from those to whom symphony
concerts are mere fad and social diver
sion. Washington has a musical popula-
ton sufficiently interested and amply able
to keep afioat this organization for the
Interpretation Of higher and better music.
Yesterdays concert furnished numerous
reasons why it should do so, and doubt
less it will awaken a new interest in the
orchestra that will eventually place it on
safe and sure foundation for the fu-
ture.
The program included Schuberts I'M
finished symphony in f. minor, two
movements. and Jules Massenett's over
ture to "Phedre'' and Scenes Hongoris-
es," with two arias from MOzart's Magic
Flute" splendidly sung by Mr.. Charles
Tittman. an officer of the Or
ganization and its volunteer solist for the
occasion, whose rich. resonant basso
made such an impression that the singer
was obliged to respond to demands for an
encore with a Hungarian folksong. Had
a Horse" translated into English by
Korbay.
The orchestral numbers are familiar.
and il was a large and enthusiastic
audience Of music lovers that heard and
heartily applauded them. They were
PLAYED with finished skill and the inter
probation by Conductor Hammer was
thoroughly satisfactory. 1t seems re-
markable that an organization actually
struggling for existence fer so long, Ia
boring with all sorts of disadvantages.
should have become such a splendid ag-
gregation capable of producing such COM
petent results. 1t reflects the highest
credit upon the musicians themselves and
upon their conductor, as we'll IS upon
those who have thus far provided the
for producing symphony
orchestra of which the National Capital
may we'll be proud.

BUREAU REPORTS ID
 BE CHIEF EVENTS
Ginning and Condition Fig
 ures Eagerly Awaited Wednesday

New Orleans. September 29.-Thc chief events in the cotton market this week will be the bureau reports or condition and ginning. Both reports will carry the crop down to September 20. They will be issued Wednesday the condition report at II o'clock, New Orleans time. and the ginning report at o'clock
 At the close of last week opinion concerning the reports was very con nicting and 1t may be that trade will be unable to get together on a com mon ground of expectation especially in regard to the condition figures Many traders look for a percentage oi condition of from 6S to 70, but prob ably no one would be surprised to gee figures over 70 or under 6S. This con flict of opinion is due 10 the great difference In crop acts, many local- tiles even sending in reports that are opposed to one another Many traders have come 10 regard the crop as be ing very difficult 10 judge. Again. some people go so far as to claim crop im- proyement in some sections during the last fortnight while probably the con servative element in the market looks for decided deterioration. which Is but natural at this time of year, and eN- poets figures under 6S and it may be that this will gain ground during the early part Of this week month ago the condition of the crop was put at 74S.
 What the trade has heard of ginning leads to the belief that the figures will be between 2,750,00 and 5000, 900 bales. According to reports coming in gin- ming has been very heavy in Texas in excess of last year, but has not been as heavy As last year in other sections of the belt. year ago up to Septem- Der 20 there was ginned 3,676,594 bales md two years ago there were ginned 2,312.074 bales. Some bears believe the glnnings will be well over 5000. 900 bales, but the average trader hardly looks for that figure to be reached.
 After these reports are out of the way the trade will pay more attention to weather conditions. The date of the first killing frosts is being awaited with great interest as 1t is generally flg- ured that they will have an important bearing on the total out-turn of the crop.
 Signs of tropical storms and frost warning Will of course have an i'm mediate bullish effect on prices. The spot markets continued very quiet and featureless and give no indications of developments that will strongly affect the future markets.

 for the Cause

New York. September 2a.-"The Ul- sterites demonstration against home rule at Belfast is no more dangerous tban this flashlight," exclaimed Will liam H. Redmond, nationalist member of the parliament when his speech at a large mass meeting in Carnegie hall tonight was interrupted by the pho- tographer's work.
 Half of Ulster Is as ardently for home rule as any part of Ireland.' he continued. Half of Ulster belongs to the ancient faith and many Protestants In recent years have been marching side by side with Catholics in the bat tie for Irish liberty.
 The speaker, who is a brother of John E. Redmond. leader of the home rule movement, was given an ovation.
 The meeting had been arranged by a committee including Supreme Court
 Justice Keogh, W. Burke Cochran. AL
 ton B. Parker and Herman Ridder. A
 letter was read from Cardinal Farley expressing his warm sympathy with the cause
 The audience stood. waived hats and NitNSiNo oPpAOfdi Niith MI rose to speak He said he had never been the center of such a demonstra- ton. 'The Irish home rule problem will be foremost in Britalns political arena until the freedom of Ireland Is as- sured. he said, and he predicted that before Christmas the bill would have passed the house of commons and that If the present British government con- tinued in power the name of King George would be attached to an Irish home rule bill
 Sir Croydon Marks. an English mem- Der of parliament also was enthusias-
 tically greeted He asserted tonights demonstration was Ameriea's answer to the anti-home rule covenant signed in Ulster yesterday"
 At the conclusion of the speeches a resolution was adopted indorsing the action of the nationalist convention in Ireland on accepting the home rule bill
 and congratulating the Irish party and
 John F. Redmond upon the triumphant state of the Irish cause.

 "The plain truth is, and the sooner it is understod. the better there are only two alternatives open to the gov ernment. The first is to keep Ulster in the home rule bill with the certainty l of civil violence on far greater scale than has been witnessed in Ireland 1 for centuries; the second is, to leave | Ulster out of the bil1''
