Mrs; William Spencer Crosby sought te interpret and make underatand- ble tbe language of music to the large number of members of the Woman's club and their friends, gathered in the First Congregational church yesterday evening. Mrs. Crosby preceded the Wagner recital by a abort sketch of the history of music. She told of the earliest beginnings of mu sical knowledge, when the tons vibrations and Harmonies first began to be noticed, and traced ita growth through tbe middle agea by tha chant a of the monasteries and the folk songs of tbe peasants, te the time of the development of the fugue and the sonata. 'Music is the language of emotion," she aaid. "Wagner believed thrt the emotions could be conveyed much better by tone than by word, and he had the Idea that a certain tone conveyed the emotion in tended; thus, fearsh, discordant notes ex pressed anger and harmonious chords, Joy. It seemed to this master that scenes and words and music must ail express the same thing." Mrs. Crosby went through the opera, in terrupting her playing frequently to tell its story and explain how wonderfully the music expressed tonally the sense of the book. Ebe pointed out the constant re currence of the music of the various char acters, following their varying fortunes, sow sweetly, again in minors or discordantly. This evening Mrs. Crosb will continue her illustration in the "Wsulkure," which in s second part of the "Rbelagold." CLUB TO HAVE AN AUXILIARY Kairtsi Osaasia.

WASHINGTON. Feb. SI. All day thers has been talk Of compromise on the state hood bill. It was generally understood that what was known as tbe compromise bill would be ' satisfactory to the republicans. The democrats, while talking in a con ciliatory spirit, aaid they had little hope that tbe republican proposition would be acceptable to them. It is quite likely that when thia proposition la submitted, the demorrate will have a conference. Probably a counter proposition then will be made providing that when Arizona has a population which is the average for a representative in congress, It shall be ad mitted as a state and also that a census shall be taken every year. Tbe democrats ssy they want a provision fixing ths date which will bring Alisons into ate union. This would not be satisfsctory to the re publicans. While efforts fer a compromise continue, there are only a few senators who expect sn adjustment to be reached. and the prospects of statehood leglala tlon are still remote. There waa an earnest conference in the senate chamber after the adjournment. participated in by Senators Aldricb, Quay, Hanna. Foraker, McComaa, Beverldge and Keen, when it waa definitely decided that propositions for a compromise on two etatee should be submitted to the demo crats. Senator Quay presented a memorandum of the Improvement features of the com promise to Senator Bate, wbo will pre sent It st a conference of democrats called for 10 o'clock tomorrow. It Is expected the republican proposition will be rejected snd a counter proposition made. Democratic leaders say they cannot ac cept the compromise suggested snd the republicans say that no further concea ions will be made. Cartel? la After Cask. A scheme for the organization of tbe new Department of Commerce and Labor has been laid before congress by Secretary Cortelyou, in the estimate transmitted to that body today through the secretary of the treasury. In addition to twelve branches of tbe public service transferred to the new de pertinent from other departmenfs which have been appropriated for Secretary Cor telyou asks for appropriations tor salaries aggregating 65,60. The salaries sre for the secretary's office, the bureaus of cor porstlons and manufacturers and subordi nate divisions as follows: Secretary's office, twenty salaries, (SR.- 000; under the chief clerk, seventy-one salaries, 161,500; appointment division. twenty sslariea, 126, 01S; division of malls and tiles, twenty-one salaries, f 21,300; di vision of stationery, nine salaries, S12.140; library, seven salaries, J8.S40; office of solicitor, eleven salaries, (19,100; bureau of transportation, 116 salaries, $150,000; tor compensation of special examiners in tbe field, 1296, 60; bureau of manufacture, 1 twenty-one salaries, $30,980; in connection with the new duties imposed on the bureau of statistics. $5,670. 4 . .t , , , Secrets Cortelyou says provision should be made for the payment of sal ariea for the remainder or tbe current fiscal year for such officers and employes as qualify before July 1, 1903, but he says that ths bureaus of corporations and man ufactures probably, will not be perfected until some time during the next fiscal year, so be concludes that $660,690 will be suf ficient for the remainder of thia and the next year. In addition to the salaries are estimates of $50,000 for rent. $150,000 for contingent expenses. $150,000 for traveling expenses of examiners; $600,000 for printing snd binding. Including $250,000 for the census office. In his recommendation for a building for his department Secretary Cortelyou urges that tbe future growth of the department be considered. He says: It should be planned in advance as to be not inferior in convenience or beauty to the structures which commercial nd financial houses at the great centers of Americas trade are erecting for the trans action of their dally business. He states it should have at least one hall suitable for conferences, international or national, and dwells on the present insde quacy of the present department buildings. He asks tor $7,600,000 for tbe building, ex elusive of the site. Caal Coatsalttea Makes Restart.

Tewftk Pssha, tha minister of foreign affairs, noti fied the Hungarian and Russian ambassa dors today that the sultan bad agreed to adopt the scheme for reforms In Mace donia. CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 23. Tbe iden tical note on the subject of reforms in Macedonia, presented to the grand viiier Baturday by the Austrian and Russian am bassadors, was translated Into Turkish and handed to the sultan the same evening. Ths powers recommend, in addition to the appointment of an Inspector general of gendarmerie for three years, with ample powers to act independently snd to requisi tion troops In case of emergency and tbe reorganization of tbe gendarmerie and po lice under European instructors, that Christians be admitted into the gendar merie in numbers proportionate to the population, without being required to read and write the Turkish language. Amneety is also demanded for all persons who have been arrested for political of fenses. The scheme for administration and finan cial reforms In Macedonia as proposed by the powers, besides planning a more equit able adjustment of taxes, provldea that local expenses shall be a first charge on the revenuea of each vilayet. In the event of there being a surplus It may be sent ts Constantinople. Measures sra also demanded for com pelling ths Albanians to respect the lawa.
