THE "ER0ICA" SYMPHONY.
Beethoven's Passion When Napoleon
Became Emperor


Even when political capital was not
to be made Of it, the favor of kings
| and courtiers was. prior to the middle
Of the nineteenth century. sought by
the artists In various fields of activity.
who were generally dependent for
their position upon those high In POI
litical life, and even the most uncom-
promising among them found it expe
dent to play polite politics In the in
terest of their art by dedicatlng the
choicest of their works to noble pa
irons.
The most notable example Of mas
terwork with a political origin is
Beethoven's "Eroica" symphony. Gen
eral Bernadotte during his residence
in Vienna in 1T9s as ambassador from
the French nation suggested to Bee
thoven the composition of symphony
in honor OF Napoleon. At that time
Napoleon was looked upon as the
champion of freedom, the savior OF
his country, the embodiment of re-
publican ideals, with which Beethoven
was in thorough sympathy, and he
willingly accepted the proposal. Be
fore the symphony was published Ma
poleon became emperor, and when the
news reached Vienna Beethoven was
violently angered. After all, then,
he is nothing but an ordinary mortal!
He will trample all the rights Of men
under foot to indulge his ambition
and become a greater tyrant than any
onet
With these words he seized the mu-
sic, tore the title page In half and
threw it on the ground. He never
again referred TO the connection be-
tween his work and Napoleon until
news of the latters death reached
him. Then he said, 81 have already
composed the proper music for that
catastrophe" meaning, of course, the
funeral march. But the whole SYM
phony, with its essentially revolution
airy character, is musical portrait of
Napoleon as Beethoven idealized him.

British Think American Ships
Should Help Pay Canal Up Keep

London. Sept. 9.-The British for.

States government concerning the
seems to be no doubt that the SEN
ate's adoption of the bill providing
for free use of the canal by American
coastwise vessels as we'll as American
ships in foreign trade under certain
conditions Is violation of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty as the canal will
not be open on terms of entire equal
ity to the ships Of all nations.
1t follows that If large part OF
the total amount of toll collected will
be diminished to large extent. and
as consequence, the secretary con.

great share of attention by the Brit
ish press. The opinion was current
today that the government is likely
to abstain from pressing its arbitra-
ton proposal until after the election.
with the hope that the United States
will then amend the bill.
A Washington dispatch says: "It
is believed that when Great Britain
fully understands that free tolls ap-
ply only to the American coastwise
trade. in which British shipping can
not participate. all reason for her
desiring arbitration will disappear"
This belief finds no echo in the
English press. The effect Of exemp-
tion of coastwise vessels has been full
ly discussed. The Times. which is
publishing a series Of articles on the
canal. replying to letter by Lafay-
cite Young. former United States SEN
ator. now in England. who wrote to
the same effect. says:
May Pay Cost of Upkeep.
He forgets that the cost Of main
tanning the canal Is to be met by the
dues levied. II American vessels are
not contributing their share of the
upkeep. the amount to be borne by
vessels Of other nations will be 50
much the heavier. In other words.
American coastwise shipping will be
using the canal mainly at the cost of
foreign steamers"
Several shippers have advanced a
similar argument.

the Panama question is being dis
