EvadeS Nine Out of Every Ten Questions Put te Him at the Inquiry.
THREATENED TO LEAVE THE STAND
Considered Questions Irrelevant and Characterised Hearing as a Scandal Excursion"-Defends Police Department and Tells Committees Counsel that He is Asking Foolish Questions-Claims Credit for Four Reforms

New York, Sept. 10.-For more than two hours this afternoon William J Gaynor, mayor of New York, sat in witness chair at the city hall and par ried with picturesque retort and eva sion the attempts of counsel for an aldermanic committee to learn his views on the police situation brought to head by the murder of the gam bier, Herman Rosenthal.
 Threatened to Leave Stand.
 Three times he threatened to leave the stand because he considered the questions irrelevant; later he de- nounced the hearing as scandal ex- cursion, and often throughout his tes- tin1ony he repeated that attempts to 'scandalize" him would be in vain, for he said he had lived in the city too long and had begun his efforts to puri- fy government long before Emery R. Buckner, counsel for the committee, was born.
 Defends the Police.
 At no time during his examination would he admit that the police de- partment was inefficient. He expressed renewed confidence in Rhinelander Waldo, commissioner of police, and de- clared that If the social evil fiourished it was at least on the decrease end was a lesser evil than police blackmail, which he had tried to eradicate. By way of counter investigation of the committee, whose chairman, Alderman William H. Curran. he denounced yes- terday, the mayor before he took the stand put on foot an investigation of reports that the committee had &C., cepted high instead of low bid for it's stenographic work.
 Answered But Few Questions. Nine of every ten questions asked by MT. Buckner remained unanswered

AT DAVIS BROADWAY
Madam Butterfly by Aborn English
 Opera Company.

performance of grand opera that went to the hearts of a good sized Norwich audience at the Davis Broad way theater was given on Wednesday evening by the Aborn English Opera company, which presented a cast of high dramatic ability and musical charm and quality in it's principals, and lost nothing from this high stand ard as it went down through the sup porting members.
 From almost the rise of the curtain on the first act was this true, as the opening lines of the opera served to introduce the rich contralto voice of Elaine De Selem in the role of Suzuki, the Japanese maid of Madam Butter fly. The fine tenor of Henry Taylor, one of the best heard in theatrical companies in this city, who was cast as the hero, was also heard in this act and early received enthusiastic recog- hilton and applause when joined in duet with the basso of Louis D'Angelo.
 In the title role Aida Hemmi sus- tained the heavy and exacting musical requirements called for in a voice of adequate power, splendidly handled and always responsive and expressive of the dramatic demands made upon it. Her duet at the end of the first act with MT Taylor was the signal for prolonged applause and curtain calls.
 Other gems that received the con- spicuous favor of the house were the stars solo as she enters in the first act, and the wonderfully effective close of the second scene, when the tribute of applause is alike for the magnificent orchestral effect achieved under Ar turo Papalardo: A tenor solo again in the last act by MT. Taylor is generous | IL an enthusiastic curtain call for the prinCipals
