Toxic sAmiabIe Envoy
Leaving Today With
Talk Unfu|fiI|ed
Horinouchi Was Just
Unable to Do What
japan Wanted Done
By GARRETT d. HORNER.

A mild-mannered, amiable little
man with black muStache, who
took over a tough Job in Washing
ton on December %, 1898. leaves a
tougher job than ever behind him
on his departure today.
He has worked hard during the
nearly two years he has been here,
and has had pleasant relations with
the persons he was doing business
with, but just wasn't able to accom-
plish what his boss wanted him to.
Things have gone from bad to
worse so rapidly of late that there
Is no room for his successor to hope
for any better accomplishment on
the Job unless there should be
great change in his boss policy. AS
a matter Of fact, his successor has
not been named yet-whether be-
cause the Job Is considered hope
less or because of difficulty in find
ing a man to take it, nobody here
knows.
The man leaving Washington and
the tough job today is Kensuke

write the opera.
He did not take much time to
steep himself in Egyptian style for
the opera was finished in II months.
The story which Marietta Bey I'M
earthed in the archives must have
caught the aging composers fancy
at once 1t is interesting to imagine
how the work grew, how the dra-
matte possibilities of the plot took
hold of the composer. how clear
was the picture of each character
and how the unfolding of the story
was lived in all its emotional signifi-
canoe. 1t must have been so or
otherwise the outline could not have
been so clear or the progress to-
ward the great denouement so
marvelously paced.
Fair Array of Characters.
Egyptian splendor. picturesqueness
and psychology were at the disposal
of the composer He had in the
libretto which Du Locle and CHS
Lamont evolved a magnificent array
Of characters: the ambitious young
warrior. RhadameS. the beautiful
and imperious Egyptian princess,
Amneris; the lovely slave girl, Aida.
a princess in her own country of
Ethiopia: her father. the invincible
King of Ethiopia; Amonasro, the
kindly Egyptian King, father of
Amneris. and, lowering continually
in the picture the powerful and in
the sphinX-like Ramfls. He had
the imposing temple rites. the
sumptiousness of life In the palace,
the exotic splendor of victorious
armies. the Nile, silver in the MOON
light adding its voice TO the serenity
of the night and the murmur of
browsing things, and the cold sub
terranean halls where Egyptian jus
tice was melted out.
Most of all he had the play of
human passions. There is the eter-
nal :riangle-the love of Amneris
and Aida for Rhadames There is
the patriotic Ethiopian King willing
to sacrifice his daughters happi-
ness for her country's sake. the
young Rhadames, helpless between
his love for Aida and the jealousy
of the Egyptian princess and drawn
into betrayal of the army's plans
through his loved ones urging, TIE
naughty Amneris knowing real love
for the first time and torn between
her imperious will and her hearts
desire.
Growing Tension.
The drama moves swiftly from
the moment Hamfis places in the
hands Of Rhadames the consecrated
sword which proclaims him leader
of the Egyptian armies in their
campaign against Ethiopia. 1t
mounts with growing tension to that
heart-rending climax when, sealed
in their tomb. beneath the altar Of

Plans for Tin SmeIter
In j. !. Announced
By Jesse Jones
Five-Yeur Contract
Signed With Bolivia
To Furnish Concentrates
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Plans for establishment OF a tin|
smelter in this country to produce
$4,000 tons of tin year from Bo-|
hvian concentrates were announced
last night by Jesse Jones, Federal
loan administrator and Secretary Of
Commerce.
Mr.. Jones said the Metals Reserve
Co, an r. F. C. subsidiary, would
either build smelter itself or con-
tract with some company TO build
and operate plant. Virtually all
the tin, a vital war metal. that is,
consumed in the United States is
now smelted in England.
Five-Year Contract Signed.
A five-year contract has been
signed, Mr.. Jones said, with Boz
llvian producers to furnish the tin
concentrates. 1t is guaranteed by
the Bolivian government.
Mr.. Jones said the price for the tin
concentrates, after allowing for
freight and normal charges, would
be about 49, cents pound Of fine
tin.
1T is expected" he added, that
it will cost more to smelt the tin i'll
this country than a England, which
added cost, together with refining
the tin to a premium standard, will
probably bring the price TO some
thing over so cents per pound.
Tin has been selling cur
rently on the spot metal market
at between 81 and 50 cents a
pound)
Dependent on East Indies.
At present. the United States IS
largely dependent on the East IN
dies for tin, and developments in the
Far East have aroused concern
that these supplies might be cut of.
While the plan announced last
night was regarded as a step to
free this country from dependency
on that source. the normal Ameri-
can consumption is about 5000
tons annually, or nearly four times
the amount TO be produced by the
smelter In addition, the defense
program is expected to increase con-
sumption.
The Metals Reserve Co. has agreed,
Mr.. Jones said. to release to the
British. on their request, as much
as 5000 tons of the Bolivian ore a
year. and TO consider requests for
a greater amount should the British
need it,
There was no expansion on this
point. but presumably the British
would not need 10 ask for any b.
livian tin so long as they could
maintain movement OF the tin from
Malaga.
During the World War, tin smelt-
ers were established in this coun-
try. After the close of hostilities.
however the smelling reverted to
Europe because of lower costs there.

Aida and Rhadames, clasped in each
others arms see the heavens open
to perfect life for them.
The rather delicate and sometimes
trivial music with which Verdi has
won the admiration of the musical
world in his previous operas was
completely discarded for Aida"
Under the glamour of his subject.
he devised arias and ensembles Of
greater magnitude and imperishable
appeal. The strength and sincerity
of Rhadames' love for Aida is eX-
pressed in the opening aria Celeste
Aida while the nostalgia for the
home OF her childhood and its power
in ultimately bringing about her
death is voiced in Aida's famous
song, % Patria mia" The proud
and selfish nature of Amneris gives
rise to one of the greatest scenes in
the opera when she wrings the ad-
mission of her love for Rhadames
from Aida and goes out to welcome
the returning hero with the ominous
reto,t, But 1 love him also-I,
daughter of the Pharaohs.
The fatality of the religious DOM
ination exerted by the priesthood
strikes terror to the heart in the
relentlessneSs and monotonous
music of the temple Later, when
Rhadames is on trial. the cruel
voice of the high priest comes from
the subterranean hall three times
calling on the young leader to de-
fend himself as Amneris. listening.
bemoans the power Of her Jealousy
and pasSfonately sings Of what her
love for Rhadames means to her.
The triumphal return Of the victo-
rious Rhadames brings forth some
of the most thrilling choral music
ever written and a scene that allows
of every luxury in staging. It's
opulence and colorful variety has
proven q spectacle that Is always
impressive.
Verdi had the opera ready for
the canal opening but the scenery
and costumes. which Mariette Bey
had personally supervised, and
which automatically represented the
ancient city Of Thebes where the
opera is laid, we're in Paris and
could not be taken out until peace
was made with Bismarck. The
opera was finally presented in 1871
and was an instantaneous success.
The next year Verdi conducted its
first hearing outside of Egypt when
it was given at La Scala in Milan.
So great was the enthusiasm Of the
opera Milanese audience
that the composer was called before
the curtain 80 times and presented
with an ivory baton with Verdi
and Aida" engraved on it with
precious stones. Since the day when
Aida" was taken to the heart Of
the Italian public it has never failed
in its great appeal.
