the appropriation to become operatlre upon the execution of releases and conveyances natisfactory ia manner ami form to the Tresident. The message says: "If thisscction fcttd been submitted to me as a separate measure, especially clurinjr. the closing hours of the cession, 1 should have disapproved it: but as the Congress waa then in Us last hours a disapproval of the general Indian appropriatiou. of whicn it was a rart, would have resulted in consequences eo far-reaching and disastrous that I felt it Xny duty to approve the bill. lint as a duty "was devolved npon me, viz.: the acceptance and approval of the conveyances provided lor. 1 have felt bound to look into the xchole matter, and in view of the facts 'which I shall presently mention, to postpone any executive action nntil these facts could be submitted to Congress." The President then says that it came to his knowledge that the Choctaw Legislature had agreed to pay three members of the tribe 15 per cent, of any appropriation obtained from Congress, and that the Chickasaws agreed to pay 10 per cent, of their ipterest to their agents and attorneys. It also carne to the knowledge of the President that the action of the Choctaw council was corruptly influenced in the matter. The President does not think that ConBress should so legislato as to give eilect to euch a contract, and he is of the opinion that if this appropriation is to stand provision should be made for protecting these tribes against exto:tiou. The protective intervention of Congress in astced in the matter of the refusal of the Chickasaws to admit treeduieu to citizenship. Ihe question of the title of the Choctaws and Chickasaws to these lands is then taken up. The President says the lands were ceded by terms sutliciently comprehensive to have passed the fnll title of the Indians. The words of the treaty and the proceedings connected with it, the President thiuks, point, clearly to the conclusion that the commissioners on the part of the government and Indians themselves must have understood that this government was acquiring something more than n mere right to settle friendly Indians, which it already possessed, and something more, than the mere release of the right. Undoubtedly, says the President, it was the policy of the government for the time to hold these and adjacent lands as Indian country, but this is quite diSeront from a conditional titlo which limits the grant to a particular nse and works of reinvestment of lull title in the Indians when that nse ceases. Certainly if for adequate consideration by treaty the United. States placed iipou these lands other Indian tribes it was .competent to give them title to a certain and agreed reservation. This being so, compensation for lands not needed for allotment purposes should go to the occupying tribes. A recital is then made of the various Indian tribes having reservations in this leased district to show that further appropriations are Involved in asottlement for all these lands upon the basis adopted by Congress. The President does not approve of dealing with this question by piecemeal. It would have been better, he says, if a remirnnt of title remains in the Choctaws and Chickasaws to th lauds in the leased district, to have settled the whole matter at once. The calculations made in arriving at the basis of the appropriations, no account being taken of the 500,000 paid by the treaty utipolation for the leased district, ferns to the President as not jnt to the United Mtates. In conclusion the President commends the matter to the attention of Congress for inch action as may be thought advisable. A MILLER'S VIEW OF OPTIONS.

Sir. PllUbary Argaes In Fsror of Suppression of the Short Seller of Wheat. Washington, Feb. 17,The silver question was broached this afternoon at the hearing before the committed on agriculture' on the auti-option.,bilL Mr.' Charles A. Plllsbury, the Minneapolis miller, was on the stand. He had stated in the course of his remarks that the world's surplus supply of wheat was steadily dwindling, and was being drawn on each year to meet the increasing consumption of wheat. He said that if one man owned the whole crop raised in the United States this year it would have been possible to get $1.50 a bushel for it from Europe jest as easy as GO cents, because Europe had to have It. Kussia had none to export, and India had shipped its surplus of previous years. Mr. Lewis Then the statistical position of wheat has boen growing better for five years past, and the price, except for a spurt this year, has been growing weaker. Mr. Pillsbury That is so. Mr. Lewis Does not the value of money have a great deal to do with it! is not money worth more than everf Mr. Pillsbury I think, as a whole, the dollar will bur more goods now than ever. Mr. Lewis If we had $1,500,000,000, Instead of ?G50.000.0CO. m circulation, would not the farmers get raoro for their wheat' Mr. Pillsbury More nominal dollars, but perhaps they would not buy so much. Mr. Lewis It would give the farmers more debt-paying capacity. Mr. Pillsbury Oh. yes. Mr. Lewis quickly retorted: "That is what is the trouble with them, is it not!'' and there was a general laugh in the committee. t in reply to a further question from Mr. Lewis. Mr. Pillsbury admitted that short selling alone would not account for the decline in wheat, which was too great to be chargeable to one cause alone. In bis address to the committee Mr. Pillsbury advocated the passage of an anti-option bill. Ho said that the owners of the immense wheat-helds of the Northwest had less to miy about the price of that wheat than smne young man howling prices on the Chicago Exchange, who, perhaps, could not tell the difference between the grain of wheat and a grain of barley, lie Mr. Piilsburyj was one of the largest buyers of actual wheat, but his buying bad less uctual s fleet on prices than some one at the wheat pit, whoso office was in his hat. All persons agreed that the bucket-shops !iuuld be wiped out. The ditterence between the bucket-shops and the Chicago Board of Trade was that in the former V9 percent, of all were illegitimate and iu the th latter Ctj per cent, were illegitimate, lie believed a bill could be drawn which would prohibit illegitimatedealings without intcrfeitng with Irgitinmte dealings. liroki-ra . had said tbis short selling was necessary, but there waano short selling in the real estate nor in the dairy business, which overshadowed all others. It had been stated that the millers sold tlonr months ahead. 1 hat was true, but lie would stake his reputation that t93 per cent, of all Hour sales were followed by deliveries. He had never known a fcPeculativo ottering of Hour, l'ormerly millers kept large supplies of wheat and Hour on hand, but they now recognized that it was hardly safe for a man to be long over night of a round lot of wheat, unless he had contracts already made, for he could no longer reckon on tho Jaw of supply and demand. It seemed to Li in as plain us the rule of three that this hurt selliug of "wind" wheat in jures the farmers by depressing prices. Tho buyers of wheat had to tako care of all actual wheat, and in addition caro for millions of bushels of wind. That wind was just us heavy as actual wheat, and was so much more of a load to be carried. Mr. Pillsbury said thero should have been high prices for wheat this year, but partly iu consequence of this short selling millers and others were living from hand to mouth. The world was drawing on the surplus supply of wheat each year, for cuaiainption was steadily increasing. Mr. White asked fur a definition of legitimate and illegitimate sales. Mr. Pillsbury thought contracts should be negotiable, and that sales of contracts were legitimate, provided tho first maker actually had the wheat. W hero a contract was ir.ado and tho wheat was nut behind it. the sale was mere gamble. Tho burden of proof, in his opinion, should be put upon the seller to show that he had the wheat he sold. To Mr. Wilson-he said bethought all sales for future delivery tended to depress prices, and should not be permitted unless the wheat was about ready for delivery. Mr. Cheatham said the Southern people were wheat consumers, and asked if the present system gave them cheaper bread. Mr. Pillsbury replied in the affirmative, provided the qnestion veere looked at from a purely Southern stand-point, and with nothing save wheat taken into consideration. A qnestion having been asked relative to the terms of a good bill, chairman Hatch said the published statement that the bill was to be railroaded through the committee and the lluute was too ridiculous for denial. The committeo would give very close and carefnl consideration to the provision v? auy proposed bill, would listen to u!l criticisms, and would give ample time for f mulle discussion of the bill before calling t up in the House. 21i. (JiZdid, cf Kankakee, I1L. said that

in a surplus producing country no good effect could follow short celling, for the short always wanted lower prices. England, being an importing country, had passed years ago a law against the bulls, and America being an exporting country should pass a law to prevent a depression of prices that was contrary to the law of supply and demand. He thought the law should be so framed as to give the right to buy property for future delivery, and when delivery was contracted for, to sell these contracts, either before or after delivery. Ho proposed a number of other modilicationsin the terms of the bill before the committee. The hearings will close to-morrow. orrosED to statehood.

A Representative of the Liberals Speaks Against Home Kale for Utah. Washington. Feb. 17. The House committee on Territories gave a hearing this morning to the opponents of the proposed legislation to give local government or "home rule" to the Territory of Utah, as proposed in the bill introduced by Mr. Came, the Delegate from that Territory. The committee was addressed by O. W. Powers, representing what is known as the Liberal party of Utah. That party, Mr. Powers said, was composed of Democrats and Republicans who for the time being had cast aside their national political preferences and had joined hands for the purpose of building up an American State in the mountains. It was because the Mormon people were not honest and sincere that the Liberal party opposed the measure the time not having come in its opinion for it. Much of Mr. Powers'a argument was in refutation of several statements made on the other side of the question by H. W. Smith, before the committee last week. He read to tho committee a letter from M. A. Ureeden, an attorney of Ogden city, stating that Mr. Smith had told him. before leaving the city for Washington, that statehood in Utah would be a great calamity; that if the Teller bill should become a lawno gentile could live in that Territory; that be had no faith in the Mormon people; that they were simply deceiving the people to gain power, and that as soon as the conditions were changed, the brethren wouid have another revelation, re-establish polygamy, and drivo Americans out of the Territory. The statements made in the letter wero denounced by Mr. Smith as a lie. He denied having been in Ogden before coming to Washington, or having any conversation with Mr. brceden. In refutation of statements made by Mr. Smith, calling in question the honor and probity of United States Judge Miner, of Utah, Mr. Powers read numerous telegrams from influential people denouncing as false all the charges and imputations against the moral and judicial integrity of the Judge. DOINGS OF SENATORS. Favorable Iteport on tho Resolution to Return Captured Rattle-Flags to Mexico. Wa 8 II INGTON, Feb. 1 7. I m m ed i a t ely af te r the reading of the Senate journal, to-day, Mr. Sherman, from the committee on foreign relations, reported back favorably the joint resolution introduced by Mr. Perkins, requesting the President to return to the republic of Mexico twenty-one battleflags' now in the museum of the United States Military Academy, which were captured by the army of the United States during the late war with Mexico. Ho said it was an act of courtesy to a friendly power, which had been suggested to Congress by the American minister to Mexico, and also by Mr. Curtis, the gentleman connected with the organization ot the Bureau of American Republics. The committee on foreign relations thought it a generous and proper thing to do for a friendly nation. Mr. Coekrell expressed bis hearty approval of the joint resolution, and it was passed. Mr. Sherman also reported back adversely the resolntion ottered by Mr. Quay, requesting tho committee on foreign relations to inquire as to the practicability of the acquisition of certain portions of the republic of Mexico, and it was indefinitely postponed. Mr. Morrill, from the finance committee, reported a bill directing the Secretary of the Treasury to admit, free of duty, tho wreckago from the ships Trenton and -Van-dalia, presented by the United States government to the King of Samoa, and to refund the sum of 87,11, being the amount of duties paid thereon to tho collector at San Francisco, and it was passed. Bills on the calendar wero then taken up and acted on as follows: Appropriating $100,000 for a public building at Boise City. Ida.; recommended. Increasing the limit of cost for a public building at St. Paul, Minn., to Sl.400.000; passed. Increasing to S0O,C0O the appropriation for a public building at Omaha; passed. The Idaho contested election case was then taken np and Mr. Gray addressed tho Senate in support of the views of the minority of tho committee on elections that Mr. Clasgett, not Mr. Dubois, is entitled to the seat. Mr. Gray's argument was replied to and the title of Mr. Dubois to the seat was defended by Mr. Chandler, a member of the committee on elections, and by Mr. Palmer, the point of the arguments turning on the precise period at which tho Senate of Idaho was organized. substitute for the tariff. An Illinois Man's Proportion to Raise Revenue by Taxing Incomes. Washington, Feb. 17. The committee on ways and means to-day devoted its attention to the principle of an income tax as a means of raising revenue in tho event thai the reduction of the tariff should ever bring the revenues of the country below the -legitimate expenses of government. A few days ago Representative Wike, of Illinois, introduced a series of resolutions indorsing the income-tax theory and recommending legislation in that direction by the Fiftysecond Congress. These resolutions were referred to the committee on ways and means, and that committeo to-day accorded Mr. Wike a hearing in advocacy of his resolutions. In his argument Mr. Wike urged the committee to consider seriously and propose a plan to supplement any reduction of revenue that might follow a reduction of taritl duties to an extent that might threaten a depletion of the treasuty. Although a Democrat, Mr. Wike maintained that the country would not consider the efforts of th committee as at all serious to reduce tnritf taxes unless it at the same time sought some other source of revenue to supplement any loss from the enlargement of the fire list and reduction of taritl duties. The country does not desire such a revenue reform as will injuriously attect the publio credit or threaten u depletion of the treasury. He said it had been charged on the Hoor of the House and the peoplo believed that tho party in power has nearly bankrupted the treasury, and. from whatever cause such disastrous results may have been brought about, it is the duty of the committee to see that sutlicient revenue is raised to meet the obligations of the government. He feared that any reductions of appropriations or retrenchments in expenditures that this Congress can possibly effect will not leave the treasury in the receipt of sutlicient ijenue to meet the demanda npon it. Mr. Wike desired, however, to Impress npon the committee the importance of not permitting the necessities of the treasury to abate in the least particular their etiorts to reduce largely tho taritf duties, and in order to remove the hindrance to that end he earnestly urged the adoption of the graduated income tax, with exemptions to the extent of $5,000. To the suggestion of a member that the income tax was not an equal tax, Mr. Wike said the large exemption proposed by his resolutions was for the purpose of equalizing tho burdens of taxation by making the gigantic fortunes and the excessive and unnatural accumulations of trusts, corporations and combinations of the country bear a portion of it. In the States where the State and local tuxes are raised for tho most part by taxes on real and personal property, the middle and poorer classes, whess possessions are all in sight, contribute the bulk of the revenue, while the concentrated wealth of the millionaires, of rich corporations and combines is relatively but little taxed. The country is not willing. Mr. YViko continued, to go back to the pUu of raising the necessary revenue of the government by what is called a purely revenue tan IT. lie wanted no step baokward in the march that leads to free trade. Any Urifl duty whatever.

whether the object be protection or otherwise, tends to cripple the power and opportunity of the manufacturer to produce articles of manufacture so cheaplv as those made under free trade. Mr. Wiko said that in 1SC6 the income tax in this country bad produced the greatest amount of revenues, being almost $73,000,000, and that more than one-halt of that amount arosofrom incomes in excess of S5.000, the limit of the exemptions proposed by his reuolution. PUBELY A IIOOSIER AFFAIR

Oyer a Thousand Indianians Meet in Social Reunion at the National Capital. The Throng Greeted by Mrs. Ilarrison and Mrs. HcKee-I Grand March in Which All Participated Dancing to Old-Tiine Tunes. Ppeclsl to the XodlanapO'l" Journal. Washington, Feb. 17. A great success in every particular was the Hoosier social reunion to-night at Builders' Exchange Hall. It is improbable that there has ever been gathered at one time in Washington so many Indianians, and never has there been such thorough social enjoyment as on this occasion. These reunions are held annually at this season of the year, nnder the auspices of the Indiana Republican Club, but political lines are never drawn in the issuance of invitations or attendance. There were as many Democrats present to-night, in proportion to their number In the city, as Kepnblicans. , The general management of tho reunion was nnder the direction of Judge John C. Cheney, president of the Indiana Republican Club. Following are the officers of the club and committees: Officers John C. Cheney president, R. M. Nixon vice-president. Wm. M.

At 9 o'clock Mrs. Harrison, Mrs. McKee and Miss Kerens, of St. Louis, entered the laree hall and were received with applause. It was the intention of the President to be in attendance, but at the last moment he was advised not to venture out in the night air, as ho was suffering from a cold. Ths guests from the executive mansion took a receptive position in the hall and those present hied past and were greeted most cordially. Gen. Daniel Macauley, Mr. E. W. Halford and others wero in the receiving party. At the conclusion of formal reception au eflbrt was made to immediately clear the iloor, but the effort failed. There were from 1.000 to 1,200 persons present. Finally, however, the grand march was formed and it was the greatest march of Hoosiers seen anywhere this year. The lloor directors were Mr. Nebeker, O. B. Hubbard. Ralph P. Barnard. C. A. Khetts, Frank Rawles, F. E. Buckland. At 11 o'clock the concourse had sutliciently diminished in proportion to make the dancing enjoyable. Among the selections was a quadrille, "Hoosier Style," called by Capt. Walter Wiihite, which employed the hands and feet of more than a hundred present. There was a schottishe. "Goinir Home," and a quadrille, "As We Used To." which took every mind back to tho old home in Indiana. Mnsio was furnished by the United States Marine Band. It would be neither practicable nor interesting to attempt to give for Journal readers a full list of thoso present, for nearly every Hoosier in Washington, with his wife, daughter, sister or aunt, was present. A few of the Democratic members of Congress and Senators Voorhees and Turpie were absent, but Representatives Johnson, Waugh and McClellan were present, also Mrs. W. W. Dudley. Major and Mrs. William ,C. Carroll, Captain and Mrs. Field and daughter. Lycnrgns and Mrs. Daltou, Mrs. M. S. Burke, Albert Halstead. L. Garthe, Miss Phillips, Mr. and Mrs.O. O.

Uow Medical Students Measured Gas. Chicago. Feb. 17. There has been much complaint receutly concerning thehih gas bill rendered by the Gas Trust. President Billings bays: "All this trouble has been canted by our register men and the system of taking the meter statements will be changed at once. The statements have been taken in the past by medical students who wanted employment for the few days we needed them and they have been acting dishonestly for the past two or three months. Instead of going around to the houses, these fellows would take their statement books home and average up things. Naturally they made many bad mistakes and have caused unending trouble. Investigation shows the truth of most of the complaints and we are righting all tbe wrongs as fast as possible. This dishonest registration has caused us all trouble, and when this is removed the peo ple and the gas company will work in Har mony Echo from a Dig Robbery. Sax Francisco, Feb. 17.

The Charge of Being too Long-Winded Sets the - UYier-K'nner Orator to Thinking. New York. Feb. 17.-When Ward McAllister published the select list of 150, culled from his 400, he explained tbe omission of Chauncey M. Depew in tho following man mer: "Depew is more the ideal of what the society man of the salon should be; but he is too long-winded. And there's where breeding comes iu again, do you see, don't yon know, don't you understand! They wouldn't stand Depew at a dinner in London. Yes, he is too long-winded. Good breeding and manners ordain that we must not absorb the conversation. One must be willing to listen to others. Do you catch the point!', After reading McAllister's dissertation upon him Mr. Depew remarked as follows: "Mac has set me thinking, and, do you know, 1 am more than half inclined to think that he is nearly if not entirely right I've never before rejected on my talkativeness. Mao has set me thinking on tho point, and, in my present frame ot mind, 1 am determined to mako my social speeches, eo to speak, shorter in future, do you aee, don't you know, do you understand, catch tbe pointf Coming to think of it again, there are two or more sides to this question, as there are to every question. To nse a classic phrase. Mao is away off about London. Every time 1 talked in London every one, myself inolnded, could see that 1 did not give them half enough. In high social circles in England they glory in having an after-dinner talk decorated with humorous anecdotes. Let tbe talker be an American, let tbe anecdote be glistening with our own nuique American humor, then the longer you stay on your feet tbe better they'll like it. Over there, just the same as here, just the same as auy where, there's no such thing as bad breeding insinuated so long as no boring is done, lint after all, it is a long time since Mao has been in London aud things have wonderfully changed since ho mingled with lords, dnkes and earls in their native haunts. Of course there is no suggestion of disparagement meant in this. The next time I meet Mao I will ask him whether he did any after-dinner talking when be was in London. Ten to one he did. No reflection at all meant, of course, in saying this. "Here is another way of looking at Mac's slap at me. Generally when 1 do any talking hero, in this country, there are lots of fellows with speeches in their tiles waiting to tire them oft. It may be that they waited on Mac. and. playing upon tho motherly tenderness of his nature, iuduced him to give me a pointer that the cheers that come to mo like music at the end of talks are hollow and hypocritical. Mac is a good fellow. Mac means well. Mao may bring me into the next little circle he makes. More power to him.V Christened a Child Against a Father's Wish. Shenandoah, Feb. 17. A curious lawsuit has been instituted which follows a sensational scene in the Episcopal Church on Sunday. David Jones bad the pastor of tbe church arrested for christening his three-months-old child against his wishes. ' The chilj was presented at the font by tbe wife and her mother. Jones arose and exclaimed: "Hold np! If you christen that child 3on do it against tho wish and religion of the father. I am an English Baptist." The wife said it was her wish to have the child christened, and the minister proceeded with the ceremony. The husband then had the clergyman arrested under a law which states that a father has the spiritual and educational control of his child until it arrivesat tho age of maturity. The case has been sent to court, where it will be tested. Iniquities of tbe Harris Community. ; San Fkancisco, Feb. 17. Miss A. A. Chevlier, who made an expose of the Thomas Lake Harris community at Santa Kosa, last fall, lectured last night to a large audience on "Mysticism and Harrisisni." She said that she would bo guilty of crime not to uncover Harris's monstrous iniquities. Proofs aro incontrovertible, consisting of mass of letters, alodavits and statements by people who have left the community. The lecturer touched slightly on various forms of impurity practiced under Harris's directiou, nnd declared if appeals to the State executive failed in causing a dispersion of the community, sho would carry the matter to Washington and advocate the measures used against Mormons. Incendiaries Almost Caught In th Act. Winona, Minn.. Feb. 17. A. Goldberg, a dealer in dry goods and notions, who came here and opened a store about a year ago. is. together with his son. in jail on a charge of arson. A string of boxes and barrels, tilled wtth straw and sonked with kerosene, was laid along the center of tho store, and through tbis was strung a piece of Jainp-wickmg, the end of which was in a two-gallon can of kerosene. The tire was discovered by an oflictr. who detected aud recognized young Goldberg locking up and leaving tbe store a few minutes before. The lire was extinguished with only a few hundred dollars damage. The placo was insured. nob' Ford Vry Mneh Alive. Crkkde, Col., Feb. 17. A rnmor was in circulation to-day that Bob" Ford, who became notorious by the slaying ot Jesse Jnmes, had been shot and killed in a quarrel over a game of cards. There was not the slightest foundation for the report, ashohaabeen living Quietly here and has had no quarrels of any kind. "Boh" was seen in his customary place to night dealing whisky over the bar of his oxchauge. and when asked about bis alleged killing laughed and said it was the veriest kind of 6 canard. , An Old Man's right with Wolves.

pPIKEOISrS OF THE PR ABOUT j ALFRED AND HEDTRICH GRUNFELD.

Indianapolis Journal, Tuesday, Feb. 9, 1892. THE GRUNFELD RECITAL. Would that we all belonged to royalty, if by so doing tho playing of such artists as Alfred and Heinrich Grunf eld could bo commanded at pleasure. Nearly every seat in Plymouth Church was taken last night, and tho audience enjoyed the finest piano and 'ceUo playing ever listened to in this city. Alfred and Heinrich Grunfeld, court pianist and 'cellist to tho Emperors of Germany and Austria, were a revelation to tho Indianapolitans, and were listened to with a silence that was absolutely unbroken. The programme was admirably chosen, classical and modern composition being happily blended. Such a dexterity and command of fingers and keys is nothing short of marvelous. If any particular form of technical perfection could be mentioned they would be the octaves, repeating notes the latter was like the buzzing of bees and the pianissimo. The tender caressing of the notes and the ease with which all was accomplished awakened the utmost enthusiasm, and the pianist was recalled again and again. As a composer Mr. Grunfeld showed the masterly musician, the "Hungarian Dances," "Minuetto" and "Fantasie on Motives from Lonhengrin and Tannhau6er,,, being very fine. The piano gymnastics in the first named provoked tho wonder and admiration of his hearers. Mr. Heinrich Grunfeld brought out every effect of which tho 'cello is capable, and this favorite instrument, nnder his skillful manipulation, gave new pleasures. The first number on the programmd for 'ceUo and piano was beautif idly rendered and phrased to perfection. The four movements of Beethoven's sonata "A major, Op. 69," proved thoroughly enjoyable. The group, "Chopin etude Op. 25," Boccherin, Minuetto and Popper rVito," won a most enthusiastic recall, and

it was with great regret that the 'cellist was aUowed to go. One of tho many treats of the concert was the fine accompaniment playing done by Mr.

A. Kaschoska, who equaled the others in tho work he had to do. Tho con. cert was only too short, and every one was moro than delighted with tho rich musical treat On the occasion of a second visit, Plymouth Church, would not hold aU who would want to hear them. Indianapolis News, Tuesday, Feb. 9, 1892. 9 THE GRUNFELD CONCERT. A cultured audience filled every available seat at Plymouth Church last evening to listen to. tho Grunfeld recital, given by Alfred and Heinrich Grunfeld, court pianist and violoncellist to tho Emperors of Germany and Austria. The playing of these artist3 surpassed anything of tho kind ever before heard in this city, and the large audience sat as though enraptured throughout the entire programme. There was no "shaking of chrysanthemum locks over the key-board," such as Nym Crinkle attributes as a fascination to the performance of Paderowski and Rubenstein, but a dignified elegance in both artists that bespeaks the courtly regime. In the performance of these gentlemen expression stamps every tone, every shade of which is a marvel of nicety. The cantabile,' legato and syncopation each receive a touch of coloring that displays the wide gifts of each performer as a virtuoso of the most refined as weU as the most brilliant of schools. Tho boldness that the use of the octave suggests becomes a velvety interval under the supple wrist of Albert Grunfeld, who, in his solo work, not only makes the pianoforte talk, but gives each phrase a cadence like the emotion in human talk now dramatic, now plaintive, now mirthful, but each saying; as in elegant diction, something that can not bo misunderstood. Those who have heard Beethoven banged and mutilated in phrase into an incoherent conglomeration of sound should have heard tho exquisite story of Beethoven's "Andante Favorit" as told by the facile fingers and fine power of interpretation possessed by Alfred Grunfeld. Again the master hand and brain was felt in the Wagner-Litz Isolde Liebestod. This showed an entirely different phase of thought From tho tenderest murmur of harmony to the majestic climaxes the effects wero brought out with tho nicety of a full orchestra. In his own compositions and arrangements Mr. Grunfeld is; again tho artist Tho intricacies of tho "Hungarian Dances" were a marvel and evoked vociferous applause. Mr. Heinrich Grunfeld is the equal of his talented brother on tho 'cello, which he manipulates with consummate skill, bringing out all that it would seem possible for human power to accomplish. Tho second part from Molique's concerto was majestic m style; La Cinquaintanio (Gabriel Marie) dainty, and Moszkowski's "Guitarre" piquant in tho extreme. Tho suite, Chopin, etudo Op. 25, a menuetto by Boccherini and "ViU," by Popper, captured the audience. Both artists were again and again recalled. Tho accompaniments, as played by Mr. A. Kaschoska, wero in artistic keeping with tho rest of tho programmo.
