been acquitted of responsibility for the last report, tn which half of the metnberi of the House are listed as having obtained unlawful allosances. But careful attention has brtn given by th committee to the language employed by Mr. Bristow in referring to the abuses in the department brought on at the request of members of Congress. Those general charges were the cause of the drafting of the Hay resolution, which demanded specific information regarding them, and eventually brought out the "list of indicted." Mr. Bristow is to be held strictly accountable for tin language, which the members of the Investigating committee believe was unwarranted and a reflection on their Integrity.

"You have probably observed," said a member of the Investigating committee today, "that, although many aenators were named tn the last report as having used Improper Influence lo get clerk allowances, not a member of that august body has risen to clear himself or to niake complaint against Bristow. The reason for this apparent lack of Interest is simple. The senators are Indifferent because they are not dependent for election on popular vote, and so think they can ignore these slurs on their TO BE INVESTIGATED. Some House Committee Member Will Try to Summon Judge Hooker. REPRIMAND FOR BRIST0W.

Will Be Held Accountable for the Lan guage Employed in Making Charges Against Members of Congress. Eagle Bureau, C08 Fourteenth Street. Washington. March 26 The alleged Irreg ularities In the Dunkirk Post Office, and the yart taken by Judge Warren Hooker in the cancellation ot leases tor the post office building there, and the renewal of them at excessive rentals, are to be taken up by the elect committee of the House that is in vestigating the charges in the Bristow report. A fight will probably be made against the summoning of Judge Hooker and others concerned in those leases before the investigating rommiltee, owing to a difference of opinion SB to the right of the committee to Inquire Into tho conduct ot persons not members Congress.

Some of the members of this committee have been looking into the Dunkirk post of-fico affair, and at least one of them is convinced that it is something that properly comes within the scope of the committee appointed under the McCall resolution. This member is a Democrat, but he is known In the llouso as man above petty partisan politics, and for this reason was appointed on the investigating committee. "I am thoroughly familiar with the facts In the leasing of the Dunkirk post office," he said to-day. "To my mind, there are things connected with those transactions that require explanation before this investigating committee. Certainly there is nothing In tho papers we have thus far reoeived from the department to have warranted tho Post Office Department in Increasing the rental from like $500 a year to more than three times that amount.

I think we ought to call on Judge Hooker and Mr. Stearns to explain to our committee' what their interests wore in those contracts." "Has the committee power to summon these witnessed?" "It has the authority to do so beyond doubt," replied the member. "You may depend on it that the Dunkirk matter is to be probed by our committee." Inquiry among other members of the inves tigating committee brought out the fact that a difference of opinion exists as to the authority of the committee to take up the Dunkirk case. An influential Republican member said: "The committee Is working under the authority nf the following paragraph, which taken from the Record of March 11: Mr. McCall of Massachusetts moves to commit the pending retwrt of the Committee on the Post Ottice and Post Roads and all accompanying papers and communications contained In House Report No.

1.395. so far as same relates to members of the House, to a select committee of seven, to he appointed by the speaker, with instructions to consider satd report and said papers and communications, so far as they relate to members, and the origin of the said papers and communications, and that said select committee be authorized fully to investigate the same, to hear members and other persons named In said report and any official of the Post Oltlce Department in respect to matters affecting members of the House contained In said report, papers and communica tions, and a soon as may ne to report to me House the. result of said Investigation: and that said select committee Is authorized to sit during the sessions of the House, examine witnesses on oath, compel the attendance of witnesses and the production or papers ann to employ sucn clerical assistance as may be necessary and have such printing, done as the needs of the committee may require. "It will be ODservea tnat tne committee Is to consider said papers and communica tions so far as they relate to members of the House. Judge Hooker is not now a mem ber of Congress and he was not a representative at the time the Dunkirk office was leased.

I do not see that we have any authority to bring him before us and question him as to his part in the leasing of the office building at I understand that others contend that the resolution gives to us this power, under the clause, 'to hear members and other persons named in said report. But I do not agree with them. We are restricted in our inquiry to the conduct of members ot the House. It is difficult to see. in view of the above, how the Democratic member referred to Is to have Judge Hooker summoned before the committee.

He may attempt to prove that Representative Vreeland Is Involved, and in this way bring in Judge Hooker. Vreeland was to a certain extend connected with the leasing of the Dunkirk Building. This is Bhown in a telegram that Beavers sent to Hooker on February 5, 1901, after having received a telegram from Hooker asking him to act in the Dunkirk matter. In this dispatch Beavers said: "Vreeland iust here. Have accepted, at thirteen fifty.

Stearns may utilize present safe." If Representative Vreeland were called on to explain nls interest In this contract it might lead to the mention of Judge Hooker's name in such a manner as to cause the latter to insist on being heard. Seven or eight representatives have been oalled on by the select committee to explain certain dealings had by them -with Beavers. The great mass of documents, papers and reports that go to make up the printed history of the post office scandals has been pretty well sifted by Chairman Hitt and his associate investigators. The charges against all the representatives, with the exception of seven or eight, have been thrown out. In the cases of these men there Is nothing in the record to explain why the rules were violated, and they have been called on to clear themselves.

They relate to the grantlngof excessive allowances for clerk hire, employment of persons who performed no work, and the making of leases for post office sites at high figures. In many Instances of this kind where, on the face of things, it looked-as though members were at fault, it has been proved by examination of the letters on file, that the representatives had done nothing at all to warrant violations of the law. Their Interest stopped with the indorse-men of. requests from postmasters for addi tional clerk hire allowance. If the seven or eight representatives whose cases have not yet been cleared up can rove that their interest in the illegal allowances that were made was not personal, a clean bill of health will be made out for them, too.

"Elijah" Dowie declined to sell "the property of the Lord" to a railroad company that wished to run Its line through Zion City. He managed, however, io do a neat little stroko of business for tho agent of Providence by leasing the property for 1,016 years. Oh, there'll be Icicles dengling from the rim of the sun the day your Uncle Dowie lets any of the dough get away. A Missouri man was arrested the other day for lighting a cigarette with a $10 bill.

President Harper of the University of Chicago says the ideal college professor should be married and should mix with his pupils outside the class rooms. You can readily sen how this combination In a "co-ed" institution would keep him from failing into cnnul. Several years bro, when Minneapolis was beginning to boom, Mr. A. C.

Hand, a wealthy Easterner, was considering the advisability of removing there, when a resident of St. Paul, the rival city, said to him: "You ought, to come to our town, where everybody has always been prosperous. Minneapolis Is made up of men who have failed in business in the East." "Is it?" said Mr. Hand. "Then that settles it.

I go to Minneapolis. I believe it will become a great business city. The man who has failed once knows something that other people have not yet learned." A man who has owned nnd operated an extensive henneryon Long Island for many years tells me that he can distinguish good "layers" from poor ones by the way they cackle after producing their eggs. He says there Is a certain evidence of enjoyment in the cackle of a productive hen that is wanting in the perfunctory, half-hearted proclamation of the other kind. He even ventures the opinion that hens have their pride in these matters and that tho prolific ones like to arouse the Jealousy of their less fortunate sisters by bragging over their own superior accomplishments.

Now, this is going a leetle too far. You can make me believe that any creature of the feminine sex would willingly arouse her sister's lousy; and if you did make me believe it you couldn't make me admit it. WILLIS BROOKS.

gciatlvea and friends are respectfully Invited Commissioner of Immigration Sargent explained to a group of representatives the other day that it Is Costs Money expensive business to Keen keeping Chinamen out vn of the I'nited States. Chinamen Out. Xno appropriation at present for the enforcement of the exclusion law is $500,000, but Mr. Sargent wants this increased to JSOO.cWi. The government spends a round $100,00.0 every year In deporting yellow men who slip inside tho borders contrary to law.

No matter where a Chinaman may be picked up. if it be proved that he is here in violation of the exclusion act, he is shipped back to China and the government pays all the bills. A Chinaman was discovered at Providence, R. 1.. the other day.

and on examination he was ordered to be deported, the cost of getting him to Hongkong being J108. To ship one of them to China from Norfolk costs $101, and from Boston J108. If they are apprehended at San Francisco, they can be landed at Hongkong at $4a a head. Of course, when a yellow man is found in the East and shipped to San Francisco the government must pay for the transportation of a guardian as well. United States marshals are.

sent in charge of them. The Chinamen are held in the East until a batch of from B0 to 100 is -collected, when they are shipped in one trainload. Commissioner Sargent says the Chinamen submit to all sorts of personal Inconven iences in attempting to get Into the coun try by smuggling. He hints that the railroad companies connive at this form of law-breaking by letting the aliens hide themselves In various parts of the trains coming over the border. A couple of weeks ago a Chinaman was smuggled Into a refrigerator car and locked in.

The car was side tracked and before It arrived at its destination the man inside froze to death. It was shown that he bad paid to a merchant In Chicago $150 on his guarantee to bring him from St. Thomas, Canada, into the United States. The immigration inspectors are constantly hauling Chinamen out of Pullman sleepers and from the cubby holes where bedding is stored. Mr.

Sargent says he has evidence to prove that certain transportation companies habitually aid in violation of the exclusion law. The Rev. J. P. Flannagan of Chicago, has written to a number of Senators and Rep-rosentatives, urging that the Panama Plan to Canal be named the perpetuate Hanna Canal, to com- TTOT1Tln Taflmn memorate the name Hanna sUame.

of the- late Senator from Ohio. The argument ifl marle tnat it waa largely through the efforts of Senator Hanna that the government abandoned the Nicaragua route and took up the Panama project. It will be an easy matter, he says, to nx the name of Hanna to this route if it is specified in the pending legislation for the government of the canal strip. Early In the fight for the purchase of the French canal property the ditch was jokingly referred to as the Hanna canal. The following Army orders have been issued: Cnntftln William H.

There are 405 exhibits, all told, the sculpture show being, as usual, so small that most of tho visitors will doubtless overlook it. A large gathering made the private view last night the most public that the pictures will have, and hundreds of expensively dressed people studied one another's clothing and discussed recent dinners and receptions. It is a queer way that. art has taken to announce itself, of late. As a show the painters have seldom, if ever, made a Some of the pictures, to sure, havo been seen in the minor galleries before, and several are of age, but that aial.es them none tho less interesting.

Brooklyn's representatives in the exhibition include Joseph H. Boston, Paul Dougherty, Benjamin Eggleston, Carl Run-gius, Gustave Wiegand and Carlton Wiggins. The big family picture by John S. Sargent will doubtless be considered as the best piece of work on the gallery walls, although it has the limitations ot portraiture and is sober in color. It has not tha sparkle of his greatest.

Ona is rather surprised by the list of absentees men whose work is al-uv serious and sometimes commanding: such as Tryon, Bogert, Alexander, Blashfleld, Alexander Harrison, Miss Beaux, Lafarge and Thayer. Some of tho others do not exhibit work of the first importance, but i3 not determinative of values. As a whole, the exhibition is fine and contenting. The late James McCormick, who was a Brooklynite for a part of the time, was at all times a trader in stocks, diamonds, pictures, anything, Indeed, that was liable to enjoy a rise in value, afetr he bad bought it Hence his selection of the pictures now to be scon at the American Art Galleries is baffling to the understanding; for with ever so slight an experience he should have realized the hopelessness of their appreciation. There are 229 of them and they will be sold on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.

They range from bad to fair, and from fair, in a few instances, to good. They have one merit, and it Is that thev are not usually imitations. People do not nowadays Imitate Bierstadt, Bris-ifnek-Koek. and their like. Many of the' canvases are by that industrious painter.

There Is a wall of portraits that represents the perfection of British dullness in this lino of work, and there are s'ory pictures, and old masters that one regards through tears. A Gcromo, a Michel or two, a Troyon and a "Mountain Stream by an unltnown Englishman, deserve praise. A portrait of Washington is interesting, and so is a Rhine view by Blrkett Foster, who exaggerates heights by a hundred per cent. William M.

J. G. Tyler, the marine painter, will he largely represented in a sale at the Fifth avenue cnlleries -to-night, Mr, Tyler has been industrious and consistent In his art, and he is widely known as painter of Interesting and historically valuable pictures, descriptive of tho early days of sea adventuring. In the present collection, which contains not only pictures in color but In black and white, he exhibits the ocean in phases of storm and calm day and night, frankness and mystery. In Ills long study of the sea he has evolved a style that Is recognizably Individual at a glance.

In nearly all of his vork will be noted an abounding spirit. William Clausen has assembled at his gallery on Filth avenue a score of pictures by A. H. Wyant, which, although not to be classed as his most important work, are full of the dignity, subtlety and beauty that characterizes his art.

hut there Is no exploitation of scenery: the view is always more contended and mor.i Intimate. The largest canvas represents a flume In rocks shadowed by a tangled forest, but in some of the smaller pictures the characteristic manner of the painter Is disclosed more amply. In even the grayest and most Indoscrlptlve, there is an Imminence color, hut this Is usually Implied rather than assorted, for Wyant did not Instruct th eye ef the spectator; he assumed that It had nlready been Instructed.

A new concert artist made his first appearance at Mendelssohn Hnll, Manhattan, last evening in the person of Leo Altman. The programme was Interesting, but hardly Inspiring, although there were flowers in profusion and the friends of the violinist insisted on encoring every number. Bruch's G. minor concerto and the adagio and fugue from J. S.

Bach's sonata in minor were the two important numbers. Mr. Altman played some passages with considerable ex pression and his phrasing was excellent throughout. He had a little difficulty with the third movement of the Brurh concerto, but, after the opening number handled the same sort of difficult passages In Wleniawskl's "Airs Russe" and Paganini's "Hcxcntanj" much better. Mademoiselle d'Arte lent variety to the pro gramme by singing soprano solns.

She was courageous enough to attempt the immensely difficult music of tho mad scene from "Lucia." During the opening runs the audience held its breadth, fnr there were one or two narrow escapes from shipwreck on a "flat" rock. The soloist appeared to gain strength and confidence as she progressed and got thrqitgh to tha climax In much bet ter fashion than might nave been expeciea. She was at her best In mezzo voce, however, and gave Chaminade's "Tu me Dlrais" and "The Serenade," by Richard Strauss, in pleasing fnshlon. The programme misspelled the French and German words with equal Impartiality. BRYAN AND SULLY.

KEEPING ONCE MORE, "PARSIFAL" Walter Daxnrosch and the Symphony Orchestra Give Excerpts From the Opera. Last evening, at the Baptist Temple, Wal ter Damroech, and about fifty members of the New York Symphony Orchestra gave a 'Parsifal" concert, the director supplying a connecting link ot explanation and description where It seemed to be needed, in order to ally the various numbers of the pro gramme, and furnish to the. few who had not heard the opera in its entirety an understanding of' what it was about. The overture to "The Master Singers" was first played, rather sluggishly at the beginning.

but warming to a fine enthusiasm as It proceeded, but this, was the only selection which did not relate to tho sacred drama. We have had so many lectures, concerts, even magic lantern shows upon "Parsifal," since the opera was produced by Mr. Con- ried, that possibly the public feels itself a trifle over-informed, and it did not turn out in overwhelming numbers, which is rather a pity, for we have too few orchestras, and the conduct of the whole programme was serious and In the best ot taste. Mr. Damrosch did not explain too much.

His talk was brief and to the point, even wnen, Dy reason 01 me niysucism aim bolism of the drama, the point is not exceeding obvious. The piano, that he used but a few seconds, might better have been left at home, and the place of It apportioned to other musicians who could surely nave played the themes, as they did, ensemble, a few minutes later. The prelude was succeeded by the march of the Grail Knights, chimes and all, tho lament of Amfortas, the prophecy, the flower girls scene, Kundry's song, the Good Friday spell, and the close of the drama where the wound of the long suffering and pain dispersing Amfortas is closed at last, and "the guileless fool" assumes the kingship of the Grail. In these we have the best of the opera, and nearly all that the casual student requires to hear and know in order to obtain an understanding of its form and significance. Tho orchestra, albeit not in perfect form at the outset, soon disclosed Itself as an admirable body of musicians.

The tone was compact, full, its different voices flexible; its forte passages powerful, though not tremendous, its singing tones admirable, and its shadings beautiful. The solo passages by David Maunes, concert master, were skilfully played and full of expression. Such of the vocal numbers as wore interjected were sung by Mr. Archambault, as Amfortas, Mr. Johnson as Parsifal the programme should have given to these singers the distinction of front names, or at least, of Initials Kundry was sung by Mrs.

Mlhr-Hardy and Mines. Kennedy, Crawford, Wheeler, Harmon and Bloomfield sang the flower girls' music buoyantly, tunefully, in a word, charmingly. The condensation of the score of tho magic garden music, so as to bring it within the scope of six voices, was deftly managed by Mr. Damrosch, and nearly the whole of that exquisite scene was given. So far as music can be suggestive of SL'nsuousness, for it cannot be sensuous, this (lower girl scene must serve as the exemplar.

More spiritually beautiful is the Good Friday spell It was the WilhelmJ arrangement that was played lust night when tlm world shines under a holy light, and as Mr. Damrosch expressed It, even 'the bodies of men are so much lighter for the weight of sin that has been temporarily lifted from them, that they bend the grass and crush the flowers less cruelly as they walk. All the music was played and sung meaningly and with an artistic expression which was delightful. The concert slmnlrl he the precursor of a scries of appear ances by the same orchestra. We have so much of triviality In our entertainments that the five yearly concerts by the Boston Symphony bond hv no means sntlsfy the demand of tho cultivated portion of our community.

Since wc have little but nonsense In the play house, wo might at least have concerts for the goo'l of a public that does not subsist Browns" and "Chinese Honeymoons," alone. When Brooklyn was half as large as it is. it had about twice as much orchestral music. It is possible that tho incessant appeals of the theater to the crude and illiterate liave vitiated 'all taRtn? Tho success of "Parsifal" In Its dramatic form seems to signify exactly the opposite, and to show that thousands arc wearied of the stuff that is provided at most of our places of amusement. Consciousness of this revulsion would lead a really wise manager to substitute serious music for dramatic frivolity.

Let us have more orchestral concerts. VOTEES IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE.
