2 THE DAILY RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1907. Jtt 415. elusion of the Conference, or would be left to a later Conference. The Delegates of the Nether lands hold very strong opinions as to the questions to be dealt with by the Conference, and would, in case of need, give proof of this, but in the inter ests of the success of the Conference, they will re frain from placing their opinion in the foreground and will strive for a general understanding. There is also some talk of a movement in favour of alterations in the Court of Arbitration, which would render easier its institution, simplify its pro cedure, and lessen its cost which is far too high and makes it impossible for small States to appeal to it. It is possible that a proposal will be made to establish a permanent working Court at the Hague, although the objection is raised that cases which would be brought before this Tribunal are not sufficiently numerous to justify its permanent effectiveness. There is also the objection that States would not be willing to bring their disputes before judges, whose views are already known from precedent cases or whose nationality might be objectionable to one of the States concerned. NEWS FROM RUSSIA. THE DISSOLUTION OF THE DUMA. Reports from various parts of the Empire show that no disturbance of the peace has taken place. The people have not only received the decree and manifesto dissolving the Duma quietly, but have applauded them. In Riga the police have paid many domiciliary visits and have arrested 25 persons, mainly Livonians and Jews, who are suspected of having relations with revolutionary organisations. The Union of Russian People in Odessa celebrated the dissolution of the Duma with great manifesta tions with flags, pictures of the Czar and thanks giving services in the churches. The Czar has sent to the President of the ultra reactionary Union of the Russian People the fol lowing telegram “Express to all the departmental Pre sidents and to the Members of the League my thanks for their expression of loyalty and and readiness to serve the throne to the good of the country. I am convinced that the ranks of all true sons of the Fatherland are ever growing and will help me to attain a peaceful regeneration of Russia. May the Union be my constant support and an ex ample of law and order.” * CHURCH SERVICES. SfT'" £jALL SAINTS’ (ENGLISH) CHURCH. Wiener Strasse. Wednesday, June 19th. 11.0 a.m. Matins and Litany.

Mr. George Grossmith, the first Lord Chancellor of “Iolanthe,” says, in some reminiscences published in the Daily Neivs, that in the old days one of the most effective entrances was that of the peers, English, Scotch, and Irish walking over the bridge at the back of the stage in their full robes. “That bridge was always inclined to be just a trifle ‘rocky,’ and we had a sad ex perience with it upon one occasion. There was a broken-down tenor—a marquess or an earl, I forget which. He unhappily was a little bit ‘rocky.’ So just as he stepped off the bridge in a particularly dignified manner to join in the chorus ’Bow wow, ye lower middle classes’ he fell back into the little lake behind. Of course, he might have been drowned, but the water was only two inches deep. Two other peers helped him into the wings, where he told Mr. D’Oyly Carte, in explanation of his condition, that he had had a very great shock, having, in fact, just heard that he had ’come in for some money.’ Mr. D’Oyly Carte told him to have some soda water and ’come in for money tomorrow night.’” CURRENT TOPICS IN AMERICA. (By letter dated June 10th, from our New York correspondent.) THE PROTECTIONISTS PROTEST AGAIN. In the official proclamation by which the State Department announces the conclusion of a new Tariff-agreement with Germany, it was pointed out again and again how great were the advances made by Germany in the granting of tariff concessions, and how trifling were the concessions which the State Department was in a position to make. The advances made by Germany have been noted with great satisfaction by the Press, and even a journal like the New York Sun remarks in a leading article: “If any American doubts the sincerity of the Emperor William’s wish to set aside anything that might lead to • friction between Germany and the United States, any such doubt must vanish after a glance through the details of the new Tariff-agreement. The facts justify the assump tion that the agreement is enormously to our advantage, and that a similar proof of a firm in tention to win our goodwill has been given us by no other Sovereign and no other country.” None the less, although, as has been said , the advances made by Germany are fully recognised by the State Department and by the Press, the Protectionist as sociations at once began to rage against the new Tariff-agreement. They fall foul of the alterations of the Customs clauses, which will affect, not only Germany, but all importing countries. The point of their opposition is not therefore directed "ex pressly against Germany but against any lowering of duties. They especially protest against the ac ceptance of the “export value” of certain German goods instead of, as hitherto, of “the actual market value”, in appraising the duties. The Protectionist associations combat also the legality of the new agreement, and are seeking to make out that the President had not the right to order an alteration of the Customs duties without the consent of Congress. They have already announced a regular campaign against the agreement. What ever the Protectionists may affect, it is a fact that the circumstance that the Government have drawn up so lenient a code of duties must be regarded as a remarkable change in the attitude of the Government to the Tariff question as a whole. By their lenient code the Government hopes to put the United States in a better position from a com mercial point of view with the rest of the world. it J. A.

Even the well-known “oldest inhabitant” cannot remember so cold and wet a Spring as that which has settled on America since April, and now Summer is at the door and everything points to the fact that we have still got to suffer from the whims of the weather-god. For weeks we have read almost daily: “Today was the coldest Spring day for so and so many years.” The meteorologists are un able to agree as to which was the coldest May day, but they are at one that this May was an un commonly cold one and that June promises to be still worse. From the upper part of the State of New York, as well as from the Western districts, falls of snow are actually announced. The extra ordinary weather conditions have already done a gigantic amount of harm. The seeds are backward by weeks in their growth, fruit is rare, and a famine in the vegetable market is threatened. The price of meat has already risen. The abnormal weather is even making itself noticeable in the “Sunny South”. Naturally, the sea-side places suffer most from this bad weather, and so few have been their visitors that they have already lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The summer resorts, which usually at this time of year are so animated, are empty and deserted, and in the country the farmers are huddling round their warm fires.

And so America is also to have a Bayreuth, a temple of art which will only differ from the Bayreuth one by its name, and which will be the Lilian Nordica festival house! Madame Lilian Nordica, the famous American singer, is to present to the Americans this second Bayreuth, to the erection of which she will, as she has already publicly announced, devote the greater part of hei* fortune. The American temple of art will be quite in the immediate neighbourhood of New York, i n the midst of the most exquisite scenery on the Hudson. The necessary site has already been bought at the cost of 100,000 dollars. The dedica tion of the American Bayreuth is to take place as early as next year. Wagner operas are to be given both in German and English, and the pro ductions, from an artistic and scenic point of view, are to be no way behind those of Bayreuth. This temple of art, however, only forms one portion of an artistic undertaking to the carrying out of which the American artist is now to devote hev whole attention. On the 20-acre site already acquired an American Institute of Music is to be erected, in which young musicians and singers of both sexes will receive a training equally good with that now afforded only by the best C011- servatorium in Europe. In the next few days Madame Nordica is proceed ing to Germany to obtain the plans of the Bayreuth Opera House, of which her theatre will be archi tecturally an exact copy. Madame Nordica has stated that, throughout her whole career as an opera singer, she has cherished the dream of giving the Americans a Temple of the Muses after the pattern of the Bayreuth one. This dream is at last to become a reality. The greatest artists in the world, of both sexes, are to be won over for her enterprise, which will, however, in every re spect be purely American. The best singing teachers in Europe are to be engaged for the Conserva- torium. It is a well-known fact that every American of either sex who possesses musical talent and wishes to enter on an artistic career must first spend some years in Europe in order to get a suitable training. From a musical point of view America has always been dependent on foreign countries. Of American opera and American higher music there is an ab solute lack. Madame Nordica wishes to remedy this, and with the help of foreign artists she will train an Association of American artists who will give the Americans their own Opera and Music. THE RAILWAYS AND THE STEEL TRUST. A large number of railway catastrophes from which the country has recently suffered are to be ascribed to faulty rails delivered by the Steel Trust. The railways of the country have now combined to force the Steel Trust and the United States Steel Corporation to deliver a better quality of rails. The American Railway Association, to which all American railways belong, has nominated a Committee which will discuss the matter with the Committee of the Steel Trust. It is maintained that the Steel Trust, which holds complete control of the market, supplied Japan with better and cheaper rails than it supplied to the American railways, and altogether produces an inferior quality than formerly. There are not wantin', people who say that a revision of the Tariff by which the high duty on steel will be reduced, and which will enable the railways to buy steel rails abroad, would be the best solution of the affair. AMERICA’S COAL PRODUCTION. The Geological Bureau of the Federal Govern ment reckons the coal production of the United States in the j T ear 1906 at 4,140,393,531 tons, with a market value of 512,610,744 dollars; an increase in production of 5 per cent, and in value of 7 per cent. West Virginia has overtaken Illinois in the list of coal - producing States, and now stands second, next the State of Pennsylvania. A MISSING MILLIONAIRE. The news which has been published in numerous European journals and has created great sensation, that Friedrich Weyerhauser, multi-millionaire and President of the American Colonisation Company, has disappeared, is stated from reliable sources to be absolutely untrue. Mr. Weyerhauser has merely retired for a time to one of his country residences to recuperate. Established 1885. Schramm & Echtermeyer Grocers 10b 9 Htdonlen Strasse lOb (corner of Prager Strasse).
