MADAME BUTTERFLY
WARMLY APPLAUDED
Aborn Company's Rendition of
Opera Satisfactory, and Is i
Enthusiastically Received.

Warm applause was given the singing
of the principal roles in Madame But
terfiy" b. Ivy Scott and Leonid Samo-
loft at the National Theater last evening,
the performance marking the opening of
the second week of the Aborn English
Grand Opera Company's engagement.
The company's rendition Of the opera
was largely satisfactory.
Quite a few years have passed now
since John Luther Longs poem on
"Cho-Cho SAN was first published in
a magazine, to be seized by David Be-
lasco as the theme of a one-act play
for Blanche Bates. and then by Gia-
como Puccini for the opera Yet the
figure of the little japanese girl de-
serted by her American lover remains
one Of the most poignantly pathetic on
the opera stage, and although Madame
Butterfly is no longer a novelty, its
tragedy, as expressed in its situations
and in the Puccini music. makes 1t as
moving as ever. And as far as that
goes, It is a novelty compared with some
of the Verdi and Gounod music given
here In opera seasons.
The impassioned duet which closes
act one Of Madame Butterfly" saw

last evening, and the applause which
they received as the curtain descended
was enthusiastic and prolonged. To-
night the same roles will be essayed oy
Aida Hemmi and Henry TAYLOR, with
Elaine de Sellem replacing Louise lie
Baron as Suzuki. Miss LIE Baron's
contralto voice is largely wasted in the
part of the servant, good acting a part
as this is and we'll as Miss LIE Baron
acts II. But vocally the role Is almost
as insignificant as that of Kate Pinker-
tor. who has but a few bars to sing.
Miss Scott made Cho-Cho San sad
enough little figure last night. and she
proved herself vocally proficient in the
sustained passages Of the Puccini score.
Mr.. Samoloff sings with genuine fervor
and feeling.

hands with Louis D'Aangelo. and Ber-

bilities of the role OF Goro, the marriage

Senate Committee Likely to Be
in battle-ground of SQUAD.
bIes Involving System.

Much important business Is accumu-
lating before the Senate Committee on
Civil Service which promises to become
a battle ground for various controver-
sizes involving the civil service system.
Senator Pomerene hopes to have
meeting of his committee this week to
take action on the question of resolu-
tions calling for light on the admins
tration of the civil service.
Senator Overman has raised two i'm
portant propositions for the considera-
ton Of the committee. He has intro
duced his resolution. calling for abolt-
ton Of the order putting fourth class
postmasters under the civil service ana
also removing deputy collectors OF in
ternal revenue from the protection OF
the civil service.
Intense opposition will be stirred to
both these proposals. both in committee
and on the floor. It Is believed they will
fail in the Senate.
