tBT C VBLE TO THE DISPATCH. J
BAVKECrn, Bavaria, July 18. Bay
reuth, the German Olympia, is as crowded
with music lovers for the "Wagner festival
from all parts of the world as it was in 1876
and 18F2, when the JCibclungen Trilogy and
"Parsifal" were first produced under "Wag
ner's perbonul supervision. The hotels hold
only a small fraction of the visitors, and
most of the householders have placed a room
or two at their disposal during the four
weeks of the festival, as at Oberammergau
last year.
Both of these festival towns for religious
and musical pilgrims are in Bavaria, hut
while Oberammergau has its festival only
once in ten years, Bayreuth has one every
two years on the average. The first was in
1S76, and this year's festival, which begins
to-morrow, is the s-eventh. The works pro
duced here so far are the four parts of the
Xibelungen, "Lohengrin," "Parsifal,"
"Tristan and Isolde"' and "Mcistersinger."
The novelty this year will be "Tannhauser"
in the Paris version.
The first festival Mas not a financial suc
cess, for the expenses of building a special
theater on a new plan aDd of painting the
scenery for four new operas were so enor
mous that e en the S73 charged for tickets
for the trilogy did not suffice to cover
them, and the deficit was made up partly by
the King of Bavaria and partly by Wagner,
from the receipts of the Mbelungen operas,
which he had intended to reserve for Bay
reuth, but now felt compelled to cede to
operatic managers for pecuniary reasons.
The Widow Wagi.er' Ability.
"rar6iful," in 1682, was produced under
more favorable circumstances, and has ever
since been reserved for Bayreuth alone.
"When "Wagner died the "Widow Cosima took
charge of affairs, and proved herself truly
the daughter of the greatest pianist the
world has ever seen and the wife of the
greatest dramatic composer; able to give
hints to the first sinners and conductors
under her energetic direction. The festivals
have nrosnered more and more, and last vear
the profits were 560,000 over expenses, al
though the tirkets were only 5.
This year the financial success is more re
markable still. Every ticket for the 20 per
formances running from July 19 to the mid
dle of next month was sold a week ago, the
cross receipts amounting to a total of $140,
000. Five-dollar tickets are now selling at
from 515 to 523. Hundreds of people who
come from abroad, some from great dis
tances, unprovided with tickets or with the
means to procure them, will be grievously
disappointed, for they will be unable to
get inside the theater during the entire fes
tival Consolation Festival Next Tear.
As a consolation for these unfortunates
another festival is promised for next year;
but it will be prudent even then to order
tickets six months in advance.
The expenditures for the festival of this,
year have been on n scale worthy of the
generous receipts. Over 500,000 marks have
been spent on the new electric stage ap
paratus which is far in advance of
anything of the kind in any theater in
the world growing out of this sys
tem. A chain of electric lights
has been established from the theater to
the town, controlled by buttons behind the
scenes, so that the whole way is brilliantly
illuminated during the performances. The
chief expense has been lavished on the scen
ery of Tannhauser, which, as much as has
been done in this direction before, German
artists pronounce marvelous. As an ex
ample of the conscientious devotion of Ger
mans of the highest rank, the following de
tail is given:
Stage, Hotinds anil Horses.
In the second part of the first act in
"Tannhauser" comes the famous hunting
scene. To enhance its realism, puke Max
Emanuel, of Bavaria, has lent to' the man
agement four of the finest horses in his
sfables and icn graceful hounds. They are
housed in a separate .building and as "care
fully trained and rehearsed in their duties
as aiiy member of the company.
The ballet is to be the novelty for
Bavrcuth. Hitherto, this feature of the
spectacle has not been conspicuous. This
year everything has been done to make it a
success. The dancers have been drawn from
the Berlin and the Italian theaters, and
hae bien constantly practicing under the
direction of Madame Zucchi, of Milan. For
the three graces, who arc to preside over the
levels in the Venus grotto in "Tannhauser,"
three of the most beautiful girls on the Ital
ian ttage have been engaecd. The most dis
tinguished singers in all parts of Germany
have ofiered their services.
The Great Singers Selected.
Among those selected are Mesdames Ma
terua and Stamligl, well known in the
"United States, and Mallen and Sucher, at
the top of ther profession as "Wagnerian
artists; Max Alvary, the Xew Yorkf favor
ite; VanUyke, theritins tenor star of Eu
rope; lleichmann, fresh from his triumphs
at the Metropolitan Opera House; "Winkel
mann, whom Xw Yorkers hare not forgot
ten, and fecbeidelmantel and Plank.
Betides these there are several artists new
to Bavreuth. about whom there is, as there
will always be, poiue anxiety. But Madame
Cosima "Wagner is not afraid of novelty and
progress, and likes new material, to impress
with her stamp, on which there is inscribed
no such word as fail. Her labors are in
cessant; t-he presides over every depart
ment and is present at all rehearsals, which
are going on to-day with as much vigor as
at any time since they began.
Rehearsing Behind Locked Doors.
"What goes on in the theater nobody hut
the company knows. The doors are locked
and no one not engaged in the theater is ad
mitted. Visitors arc beginning to flock into Bay
rcuth in large numbers. Xcarly half of
those already arrived are American or En
glish. In anticipation of the influx of for
eigners, the official Bayreuth guide book is
now published in English and French, as
well as in German. Besides visitors from
abroad, the country people are coming in by
thousands toenjoyt he festival, although they
may never catch a glimpse of the play or
hear a note of the music. It is estimated
that the strangers will, by to-morrow night,
number ij.UOO, which will double the popu
lation of the town.
The decorations are profuse; the streets
are spanned with arches, and the inhabi
tants are delighted with the anticipated
success of t lie festival, which is expected to
bring at least l.(Mi0,O(io marks to them dur
ing the month of its existence. Isot the
least of the triumphs of "Wagner's genius
was to have brought this sleepy old town to
life asain.
B0YALTY "WILL BE THESE.
The Coming "Wedding of a New Tork Girl to
Be a Brilliant Affair.
BT CABLE TO TIIE DISPATCH. J
London, July 18. The wedding of Miss
Ethel Forbes Leith, daughter of Mr. and
Mri. Forbes Leith, of New York and
Fyvie Castle, to Captain Charles Eos-
din Burn, of the First Royal Dragoons, will
be an event of next "Wednesday. The
Duke and Duchess of Counaught, Princess
Louise and Trince Francis, of Teck, will be
present at the ceremony and the wedding
breakfast to follow. The royalties men
tioned have sent handsome presents. The
bridegroom is one of the handsomest and
most popular men in court circles, and is an
aide-de-camp to the Duke of Connaught.
Miss Forbes Leith will have four bride
maids, one of whom will be Miss Amy
Iteud, of .New York. She will also be at
tended by four lads in Highland costumes.
The presents, several hundred in number,
were displayed yesterday and to-day at
Cadogan square.
SALISBURY IS SHREWD.
ENGLAND GETS THE BEST OF
. DREIBUND UAKGAIN".
THE
Great Britain to he Aided In Its Egyptian
Schemes "Without Being Committed to
Armed Defense of Germany How the
French Crisis Is Viewed.
COrYRlCHT, 1S91, BY THE NEWTOnK ASSOCIATED
PRESS.
Berlin-, July 18. Lord Salisbury's
adhesion to the Triple Alliance appears to
have been made with due regard to the pro
tection of English interests in Egypt and
India. The conferences of the Emperor and
Herr von Bieberstein, Prussian Minister of
State and Imperial Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, with Lord Salisbury, have
materially altered the whole course of Ger
man foreign policy. Only a partial indica
tion of the drift of the entente concluded at
Hatfield House has transpired, "but enough
is known to suggest that Lord Salisbury
obtained assurances from the Emperor that
the Franco-Russian projects against Eng
land's possessions in the East will be met
with open German support of England.
A entente is thus established all around,
the arrangement aiming at an Asiatic, as
well as a Europeanl equilibrium. Diplo
matic opinion here concurs that Lord Salis
bury has got the best of the bargain, secur
ing a posith e check upon French schemes
against the Egyptiaa occupation and llus
sian encroachments in India without com
mitting Eniland to armed intervention in
sujraort of Germany.
The French ministerial crisis was watched
here more with curiosity than with emotion.
It was recollected how, just before the
Chamber of Deputies adjourns, maneuvering
deputies try to ring down the curtain with
a sensational squabble. The present trouble
has no genuine basis in the exceptional
treatment of French commercial travelers in
Alsace-Lorraine. The German embassy in
Paris docs not refuse to visa commercial
travelers' passports. Xecessarily a visa is
not granted to men who are known to the
officials of the embassy as members of secret
political clubs in Alsace-Lorraine, or who
are suspected of' distributing revanche
badges, medals and pamphlets, of which
many commercial travelers carry a stock.
In every case the refusal of a visa is duly
noted and is open to the inquiry of the
French foreign office, which knows better
than to stir an inquiry.
COUNTEBACTING GEBMAIT DISIETST.
How the World's Fair Commissioners Hope
to Accomplish Their Ends.
Berlin, July 18. Mr. Edwards, the
American Consul General here, has invited
all the American Consuls in Germany to a
conference in this city with Herr "Wermuth,
the Imperial Commissioner to the "World's
Fair. The consular body will also meet
the American committee, which is now in
England. Numerous public receptions are
being arranged to be held during the pres
ence of the committee in Germany.
Mr. Edwards hopes, through the consular
conference and public meetings, to dispel
the German inisooncentions in regard to the
severity of the McKinley bill. Consular
statistics on the operation of the tariff will
be published in order to show that the Mc
Kinley bill is not inspired by hostility
against loreign trade, but that it is mainly
intended to encourage American manufac
turers. Mr. Edwards proposes to facilitate
the labors of the American committee by
centralizing the sources of information con
cerning German industries. If the commit
tee were to visit every industrial center
much time would be absorbed, with prob
ably less satisfactory results than if the in
formation were close at hand and readily ac
cessible. The great commercial points,
such as Hamburg, Chemnitz and Frankfort,
will be visited, but by having the focus of
information here will enable much to be ac
complished in the shortest time.
THE CZAE NOT ATTACKED.
How the False Rumor of a Mnrderoua
Assanlt Originated.
Berlin, July 18. The latest rumor re
garding attempts upon the life of the Czar,
which rumor causes momentary terror in
St. Petersburg, was that an officer had tried
to murder the Czar with an ax.
The report arose from the fact that the
Czar was amusing himself in a forest chop
ping trees, when the head of the ax flew off
and struck an attendant in the face and
( wounded him. The Czar went to the as
sistance oi tne wounded man and got some
blood on his hands and clothes. An officer
of the guard approached them, and thought
that the Czar was in danger He called
upon some soldiers to rescue His Majesty,
and before an explanation could be made
the wounded attendant was cnt down by the
over-zealous soldiery. The Czar caused the
officer to be puuished for his action.
A CLEAB CASE OF SUICIDE
Is "What the London Police Pronounce the
Death of Gambler Parker.
BT CABLE TO TIIE DISPATCD.I
London, July 18. The police do not
take any stack in the theory that George
Parker.the New York sporting man who was
found dead in his bed, with a bullet through
his heart, Thursday morning, was murdered,
but pronounce the case a simple one of sui
cide. This theory is borne out by the state
ment of Mrs. Hamilton, his former mistress,
to whom he wrote to Paris on Monday that
if she did not return to him in London he
would kill himself. She arrived the even
ing of the day the body was found. The in
quest will be held on Monday.
BELIEF FOB BUSSIAN DISTRESS.
Measures Taken to Stave Off
Famine in
Kazan Province.
St. Petersburg, July 18. The Rural
Assembly of the Province of Kazan, where
the distress is most acute, has decided to
apply to the Government for a loan of 5.000
roubles. The Rural Assembly will also ask
for a delay in the collection of the peasant
taxes, and will request that the manufacture
of brandy from corn be prohibited, and that
the brandy shops be closed for a year. A
general appeal for funds to asstst the suffer
ing people has also been issued.
TUEKEY DISTBUSTS FBANCE.
Alarmed at the Republic's Attitnde Con
cerning the Dardanelles.
Berlin, July 18. The Porte, which has
become alarmed at the movements of French
diplomats toward reopening the question of
the Dardanelles in the interests of Russia,
has communicated with the German Am
bassador at Constantinople on the policy of
the Triple Alliance on the matter. It is un
derstood that the Turkish Government re
ceived assurances that the present position
would be maintained.

Startling: Testimony Got From Them by
Treasury Officials.
WORK OF A BRITISH HEBREW OFFICIAL
rSPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. J
New Yobk, July 18. Twenty-eight Eus
sian Hebrews who arrived here last week
are detained at the Barge Office, pending
the action of the Treasury Department on
the results of an investigation which Gen-
'eral O'Beirne has been making among them.
General O'Beirne's investigation is the re
sult of this letter from A. B. Nettleton. As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury. The let
ter is dated July 10:
The department is in receipt of a letter
from the Department of State, dated 7th
instant, transmitting a copy of a dtsnatch
from the American Minister at London, who
calls attention to a cutting from the Times,
Issued on the 20th 'ult, which seems to be
an authorized publication of a dispatch
from the British Ambassadorat Berlin, from
which it appears that strenuous efforts are
beingmade by a British official, who is said
to be a prominent member of a Hebrew
social organization, to divert from England
the destitute expatriated Russian He brews
who are coming into Germany at the rate of
TOO n day, bv warning them that the labor
market of England is overstocked and sug
gests that they be sent to America or
Palestine.
A Close Inquiry Ordered.
Incase it should bo decided to bring this
matter to the attention of foreign govern
ments it would bo essential that the depart
ment be well informed of all particulars
where it is found that any such Immigrants
aie arrivingat our ports. You are therefore
requested to closely question any such Rus
sian Hebrews who may arrive as immigrants
at your port, and if you And any who have
been diverted from their original destina
tion to this country by foreign officials you
will take and record 6iich testimony, with
the names nnd official rank of persons who
are active in the matter, and promptly re
port tne lacts to tne department."
The testimony of all the 28 who are de
tained has been taken in the form of affi
davits. The affidavits are all very much
alike and show that the makers were assisted
in coining to this country. Leiba Steen is
a fair sample. Steen says that he is 28
years old, married and has two children.
Until three years ago he lived in Resza,
Kussia, where "he worked at his trade,black
smithing. "Work failed him and he went
to Ostrow. From there he was driven out
by the authorities when the edict was made
expelling Hebrews from Bussia.
Assisted to Tills Country.
He determined to come to America, but
had only money enough to pay his fare to
the seacoast. On the way to "the coast he
was arrested on the frontier and thrown
into prison. He was visited in the prison
on the third day of his confinement bv a.
representative of some society or committee,
the name of which he does not know. This
official gave him some clothing and 15
marks. On his arrival at the seacoast a
ticket to America was given to him.
Some of -the other affidavits are raoie ex
plicit even than Steen's. One man stated
that he had been assisted all the way. An
other stated that he had been advised to go
to Philadelphia instead of to New York, as
it would be easier for him to land at Phila
delphia than here.
General O'Beirne said this afternoon that
he had debarred the 28 immigrants from
landing on the ground that tliev were likely
to become public charges. They will be
sent back to the ports from which they came.
TEASES UNIONS AB LANDLORDS.
A Sky Scraper to Be Erected and Owned by
the TTorklngmen of Chicago.
SPECIAL TELEGRAM T3 TITS DISPATCH,
Chicago, July 18. A scheme is on foot
among the labor unions to erect a sky
scraping office building similar to that
which the Masonic fraternity now have in
course of construction, which shall serve as
labor headquarters,and the revenue of which
shall help defray the expenses of future
strikes. The labor unions have a total
membership of about 50,000 men. It is
assumed that they will take stock in a
building corporation, to the extent of $10
each on ah average. This will create a
fund of 5500,000, and with that amount at
their disposal the projectors of the enter
prise believe they will be able to secure a
location and put up a building which shall
rival the best structures in the city.
The scheme has been submitted to the
various unions throughout the city and has
been generally approved. It has gone so
far that an architect has been retained to
prepare plans for this structure. It is pro
posed to have an audience room capable of
seating about 3,000 people. A building of
this kind has been erected by the Iron
Molders Union on the "West S'ide. and. al
though it is on a much smaller scale than
the one proposed nnd in a rather inferior
location, it is making good returns on the
capital invested.
A POSTOFFICE BLOWN UP.
The Noise Arouses a Sleeping Policeman,
hat 'Iiras Too Late.
Grafton, Mass., July 18. This town
was visited by a gang of safeblowers last
night, and as aresult the postoffice is now
nearly a complete wreck, and the door of
the safe, weighing about 300 pounds, was
blown 15 feet through an open doorway and
into the front office.
,Town Officer Carney was aroused by the
explosion. He sleeps hear the postoffice
square. He thought when he heard the
crash of the windows that there was a
drunken fight, and lighted his candle and
went out to investigate. The officer stood
with his lantern and one of the men saluted
him and remarked: "All right, now." The
team then drove furiously away. There was
ho money in the safe and only a few stamps
are missing.

THE YABD CONTEMPT CABE.
Common Fleas Court Say It Mnt Be De
cided by the Supreme Court.
Philadelphia, July 18. The case of
Henry H. Yard, charged with contempt of
court in not appearing before the City
Councils' Committee of Investigation, was
again before the Common Pleas Court to
day, but was not finally disposed of. The
decision of the case hinged on whether or
not the writ of certiorari taken out by
Yard's attorney was a supersedeas and
stayed further proceedings in the lower
court.
After hearing the argument, Judge Alli
son announced that it was not in the power
of the Common Pleas Court to decide
whether or not the writ of certiorari was in
tended as a supersedeas by the Supreme
Court, by whom it was issued, and in the
meantime Yard would be held under $5,000
bail until the Supreme Court should decide
if the Court of Common Pleas could,
under the circumstances, commit him for
contempt.
AN ALLEGHENY SNAKE ST0BY.
Mr. Frank, of Verner Hill, Has a Fight "With
a Large Blacksnake.
Georgu Frank, of Verner Hill, Eleventh
ward, Allegheny, while sitting on the
porch of his residence the other day,no
ticed a large snake crawling toward him.
He .threw a lump of coal at it, which struck
but did not seem to injure the snake. He
then went te the yard to secure a stone,
when the snake jumped at him. He se
cured one and struck it on the head and
finally succeeded in killing it. It was a
blacksnake five feet lone. A few minutes
before the snake appeared a 2-year-old child
of Mr. Frank's was playing nearby, but its
mother had just taken it into the house. It
was a narrow escape for the child.

Second Free Distribution of Merchandise,
i)Sm
COMMENCING
The fame of our first free distribution of merchandise last January is still green in the memory of the peo
ple of Pittsburg and Allegheny. Its magnitude and liberality, fairness and simplicity attracted young and
old, rich and poor. Ouf records show that during its run of two weeks 1,392 people, whose names and
residences were duly published, received their purchases, ranging from a collar to the most expensive suit
or cloak, and aggregating in value 10,046 39, free of any charge whatever.
Now, remember, the second free distribution will positively commence to-morrow (Monday).
Every time your watch goes five min
utes some purchaser gets his her
goods free of charge, and, in order to
insure a perfectly fair and impartial
distribution, we will again employ the
following system i
...
FIRST The hours of distribution will be- from 9 o'clock in the morning iintil 6
o'clock in the evening each day, and until 10 o'clock on Saturday. f
SECOND The first purchase will' be given away at 9:05 o'clock; the second" at
9:10; the third at 9:15; the fourth at 9:20, eta, eta, one after each lapse of five minutes,
until closing time.
THIRD Thus, twelve people will receive their purchases free every hour, or 108
people every day, excepting Saturday, when 156 people will get their; goods for
nothing. -
FOURTH Every department, and all kinds of goods we keep, are included in this
free distribution, and the finest Man's Suit or Lady's Wrap will be given av?ay as readily
and cheerfully as a ioc article.
FIFTH Whatever amount of money happens first to be. received by the Cashier,
-after every 5 minutes' lapse, will be handed back to the customer who paid it, no matter
whether it be 50c or $50.
SIXTH The actions of the Cashier, Mr. Baum, are, OPEN AND ABOVE
BOARD, he, as well as the clock, indicating the lapse of every five minutes, being con
stantly in full view of the people.
SEVENTH On each day we shall publish the names and residences of the cus
tomers who received their goods gratis on the preceding day.
EIGHTH Employes of the house, also wholesale buyers, are barred from partici
pating in this free distribution of merchandise.
