Every one "was wondering: 'Is the
Chicago orchestra as good as it was
two years ago, or better or worse?'
It is even better than it wasvwhen it
paid New York Its first visit; , more
mellow in tone quality, more obedient
to the conductor's wand, more respon
sive to emotional influences emanat-i

inake a permanent orchestra what It
should be, and Mr. Thomas now has
a band second to none in the country,
an orchestra of which Chicago has
reason to be as jroud as of its con-
ductor. It must be a pleasure to play
on such an instrument; one could see
how Mr. Thomas enjoyed playing on
it."

London, March 10. The military sit-
uatIon in South Africa now occupies
a seeonaary mace m the attpntlnn
the British government. The entire
resources of the. empire are being util
ized to meet a graver danger, nearer
home. It has been known in a vague
way for several weeks that some se
cious peril was threatening England.
The apprehension became more defi
nite when it was 'learned that France
had tried unsuccessfully to induce the
sultan to reopen the Egyptian question.
Now comes 'definite information of
heavy reinforcements that France is
sending to Algiers, Madagascar and
Tonquin. -The Laffan bureau Corres
pondent at Havre "telegraphed today
that three additional" steamers have
just been chartered to take infantry
and cavalry through the Suez canal,
ostensibly for Madagascar.
Most significant is a series of extraor
dinary bellicose statements furnished
to foreign correspondents at Paris by
4he;5rel'l8---1It is apparently
the deliberate purpose of tbese declara
tions to put England in theaTrtitude of
the aggressor. This policy seemsto
suggest that the war party in Frahce,
which" -is determlneS' to force a rup
ture, desires first to shift the respon
sibility for the quarrel. Nothing coulj
be more misleading than the French
publications that England Is seeking
war with that country. V
A desire to fight France does mot ex
ist in this country. Affairs on the other
side of the channel are entirely differ
ent, one of their national fevers which
attack France' about once in a genera
tion, recurring until they culminate tn
bloodshed, is now raglog violently. Its
essence is bitter hatred to all things
English.
There was a little Incident at the Fo
lios Berges in Paris this week that was
wonderfully significent, a biograph show
calling out wild enthusiasm ' for the
Boer leaders and savage denunciation
when, the picture of an English general '
was shown. Presently one of the spee-,-tators
hiesed at the picture ' aZ
a French General. Instantly there was
a great hubbub and fifty or sixty ex
cited Frenchmen surrounded the Of
fender, who would have suffered se
verely had not someone exclaimed: "Oh,
he's not an lEngrltehman, he's a German;

France is so powerful at present that
the governmeLt, which may Call any
day almost despairs of conitrolling it. It
not too much toeay that the exhibi-

soon as this man'ifest restraining Jnflu-.
