13 THE SUNDAY OKEGOSIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 1, 1903. ALL ON A GRIDIROH Men of Mark Made Subjects of Burlesque. BY THE GRIDIRON CLUB WITS 9. P. Korgut la Trented to a Bucket Chop and Dr. -Wiley' Food Expe rlmenta Fornlih Food for Slirth Also Lily -WTiltea. VTABKBSGTOS, Jan. 3L The annual Blnner of tha Gridiron Club tonight was rAMM.tmnltAr In the wav of unique entertainment. The dlnlng-nall or ht Arlington Hotel wag never so nanu somely decorated, for besides the flowers a ofiii nnd the nalms and ferns about the room, a novel arrangement of electrlo llgnts proaucea a. supem -"-'-' among the decorations. Among the 230 guests and members were Ambassadors, Senators and Representatives, Goi-crnors. high officials of the Army and Navy, prominent men In tho financial and busi ness world, editors and proprietors of great newspapers and scientists and men of letters. Tho menu was a calendar. Illustrated fwlth the picture of prominent guests whose business or personal characteris tics were Indicated In a Jingling rhyme. !Tho inauguration of the new president of the club, William E. Curtis, afforded an opportunity for reverting to the part Mr. Curtis took In securing the attendance of Bpanlsh grandees for the World's Fair ct Chicago. The pomp and ceremony of the Spanish Court of 1432 mingled with Twentieth century Ideas and events made It a showy and laughablo affair. One of the Questions propounded to Columbus was: "What Is a .trust?" to which he answered: "A bunch of money sur rounded by water." J, P. Morgan, one of the guests of the club, was made the subject of quite the best burlesque of tho evening. For the alleged benefit of the New York finan cier, the Gridiron Club lntsallcd a "bucket pbop" as an adjunct to Mr. Morgan's of fice. The manager and "chair-warmers" kept up a fire of lively questions and answers In which various guests were placed upon the gridiron. The discussion of available Presidential candidates was n. feature of this part of the entertain ment. The burlesque concluded with a song dedicated to Mr. Morgan. The experiments which Dr. Wiley, of the Agricultural Department. Is making with borax as a preservative afforded Inent guests a grldlronlng. It was charged"! mat ur. Wiley was conaucung an expe riment at the dinner, and two members of the club, personating Professor" Wiley and his assistant, showed the effects of borax on tho brain. A "poison squad" was brought out and the stetheoscope and X-rays applied to their beads. The mar velous things which they were found to be thinking about, as told by the oper ators, created great amusement. The Initiation of Joseph K. Ohl, of the Atlanta Constitution, and John P. Miller, of the Baltimore Sun. who were caused to personate leaders of the "Lily Whites" and "Black and Tans" respectively, and tho witty Incidental references to recent Southern appointments made a distinct hit. There were other skits, many topical songs and choruses and several good speeches, all crowded in the evening with wit and humor from beginning to end. GAVE MIDNIGHT MATINEE Gordon-Shay Opera Company Re warded Audience's Patience. After three performances to crowded bouses at the Marquam Grand Theater, the Gordon-Shay Grand Opera Company has left the city for Victoria, B. fi, with the, rare record of having given what may be called a midnight matinee. Their ren dition of "Carmen." with Rose Cecilia Bhay, mezzo soprano. In the leading role, began Friday night at 10:30 o'clock and finished at 1:20 o'clock yesterday morning on account of their late arrival, caused by a washout on the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad, between this city and As toria. It Is to the everlasting credit of a Portland musical audience that. Instead of going home, thty sat for 214 hours In their seats, while selections were played by Baker's Theater orchestra. Of course, quite a number of people, when they found before 8 o'clock on the eventful night that It was doubtful If the opera singers could reach Portland In time to give a performance, surrendered their tickets and got back their money. But other enthusiasts took their places, and when the curtain did ring up on Bizet's "Carmen." they gave the singers, tired and hungry as they were, a hearty wel come. Bizet's "Carmen," Verdi's "II Trova tore," Leoncavallo's "II Pagllacci" and Mascagnl's "Cavallerla Rustlcana" were the four attractions offered during the visit, and each received a careful, ,musl clanly and enjoyable rendering. Of the four "Carmen" Is naturally one of the 'strongest, with Its warm, alluring, seduc tive music and rapid action." Much of Its humor was created by the splendid acting and singing of Rose Cecilia Shay, as Car men, the coquettish, dashing cigarette girl with gypsy blood In her veins, in love "equally with Don Jose, -the Sergeant of Dragoons: Escamlllol. the toreador, or any other that might strike her fancy. It was a powerful portrayal, and much of its beauty was reflected from the personal charms of the prima dona. Her acting In the scene In which she Is stabbed by her former lover was sensational. Joseph Fredericks, tenor, as Don Jose, displayed a smooth, velvety voice of rare quality, and his singing was all the more welcome In these latter days, when the tenor solo ist Is generally the weakest and most throaty In the whole show. He acted in telligently. "Carmen" would have been shorn of Its motif bad Don Jose sensibly fallen In love with and married Mlchaele, the pure-minded, splrltuelle village girl In stead of the.vlrago who earned her living by making and afterward smoking cigar ettes. But here is where such an actress as Helene Noldl gets her opportunity, as a most excellent foil. In "Carmen" Noldl displayed a charming soprano voice and clear musical understanding. Much- was expected of Achllle Albertl. the dashing toreador, and he more than fulfilled expectations. Ills cmooth, pleas ant baritone voice of good Volume was beard to fine advantage In the famous toreador song, and he ehowed In addition that he Is a finished actor. The, chorus eang well together ana actea creditably. In the numerous operas Guleeppe Verdi composed, about 99. he will be affection ately remembered by three, "Travlata. "Trovatore.' or "Rlgoletta." and al though trained musicians may dispute the point, the multitude prefer "Trovatore. ' Although the llberetto deals with warring hosts, fighting and death, yet the music reigns In a. high sphere all its own. The famous duet between "Home to Our Mountains," interpreted by Elolse Bishop. contralto, as "Azucena," and Walter Wheatley. tenor, as "Manrleo," Is known and loved wherever the English langusge Is spoken. It is not too much to say that many of the solos and choruses In this opera are still largely used In our sing' lng schools. Walter Bishop nan a tenor voice of nrst quality, and he uses It with excellent Judgment for so young a Mnger. He Is exceptionally good In high notes, sear and above the staff, and his delicious, cool method, Is a musical treat. Noldl had a darker part to sing In "Trovatore," but she sang like the artist she la. James Stevens, baritone, made a manly, imures slve "Count de Luna." Last night the attractions were Italian, "U Pagllacci" and "Cavallerla Ruo ticana," rang In English. Both these opcrPA bear a mystical relation to each other. Leon Cavello Is older than bis famous fellow countryman Maocagnl. but, since many musicians are agreed 'that his "II Pagllacci" was undoubtedly Inspired by 'Cavallerla Rustlcana," he must be re garded as a follower of Maxagnl. These two are the most prominent representa tives of the new school of Italian music In "II PasHaed," the story Is one of the Italian order of stormy tragedy. In which love affairs are mixed up and Canlo, the Punchinello in a troupe of country mounte bank, stabs hla faithless wife, Ned da, the Columbine. Interest was heightened, when Achille Albertl, dressed m the gro tesque garb of n clown, stood last night In front of the curtain before the latter was raised, and sang h!it mocking song. Then the opera proceeded. Walter Wheatley. as "Canlo" again deepened the favorable Impression he previously made, and his acting was realistic when his heart Is seared by domestic sorrow and he determ ines to don bis motley again and be a player. Pauline Johnson, as "Nedda." sang and acted effectively. There Is, of course, better, richer, more Impressive music In Mascagnl's "Caval lerla Rustlcana." People know It from the famous "Intermezzo," played by the orchestra to mark a pause In the action. This selection was warmly encored last night, and SIgnor Carlo Nicosia, the mu sical director, bowed his thanks. This opera gave the audience the only chance, yesterday, to hear Rose Cecilia Shay, and when she stepped on the boards, as Santuzza she was greeted with applause. She did not, of course, have the same scope as In "Carmen" but her singing and acting were effectlro and charmlmr. Fredericks was Impressive as Turridu. and his singing was admired. James Ste vens gave a strong rendering of Alflo, especially in the scene where he kills Turridu. The proprietors of the Gordon-Shav Grand Opera Company are J. Saunders Gordon, originally from Texas where he knew Miss Cathrlne Countiss, the leading lady at the Baker theater and Rose Ce celia Shay. The partnership was formed between them, last Spring, In Chicago, and they gave their first performance at Newport News, Va.. In September, 1902. They have met with quite a success, both from a financial and artistic point of view, and have played throughout the South, Middle West and Pacific Coast. The company will present grand opera In British Columbia. Seattle. Spokane. Hele na and Great Falls, Mont.: Fargo and urana Forks, N. D.i winnlDee. Man.: Duluth and St. Paul, Minn.; Chicago and otner points. It Is an excellent musical organization, and leaves Oregon -with many well-wishers. Ilnrry Ward's Minstrels.

NEW TORE Jan. 30. Bpee!al.) The marriage of Rediiald C Vandertillt and Kathleen Nrllion. which was to have taken place' noon, will be postponed until next Summer, as a result of his ejeapnde at Canfleld's. where ha Is said to have lost 100.000 In a night, and which has led to his being sought as a witness by Dis trict Attorney Jerome. Jerome's action In bringing the young man into tha casa Is much criticised. It being urgtd that there Is higher game for him to get after It he was looking for notoriety. The Illness ot Mn. Arthur T. Kemp, the slitr of the brlde-eUct. and ths no toriety following Jerome's crusada against Canfleld, with all the disagreeable- pub licity attendant thereon, were urged aa reasons wby the two families had deter mined on charting the data of the ceremony. The District Attorney la quoted as saying that he would not interfera with tha matrimonial plana of the-young man to tht extent ot having a subpena served on him It he came to New Torkr to get married. It Is common knowledge that this aubpena was actually Issued for his appearance aa a wt trees against Canfleld. and no effort was made to deny that he had gone to Newport to escape the ordeal of having to tell the grand Jury what he krew. The wedding was to have been celebrated at 100 Fifth avenue, the home ot Mrs. F. Nellson, hut Miss Nellson Is In favor of bavins; the function on a large scale, and It was realized that the house was hardly big enough. The Vanderbllt family believe that a Newport wedding will not be the cause of bringing up ao much unpleasant talk, aa by that time the Canfleld incident will be comparatively old and practically forgotten. dent Is exceedingly anxious that the treaty should be ratified at tho earliest possible moment, yet the indications now are that serious obstructions may be placed in the way of ratification. Tho conference held today was with a view of ascertaining If possible what could bo done to hasten consideration of the treaty by the Senate. An effort-Is to be made to get the treaty out of the com mittee with a favorable report. That the effort will be successful Is reasonably cer tain, but then Its trouble In the present view of thp matter will only have begun. Senator Morgan, chairman of the com mittee on interocemlc canals, takes the ground that the negotiations -conducted by the State Department with Mr. Her ran. representing Colombia, ore not valid, as he holds that Mr. Herran did not pos sess the necessary authority to make a treaty binding upon his country, and it is understood that he will use his utmost ef forts to defeat the treaty in its present form. Indeed, the intimation has reached thev President that when the treaty is called for consideration In the Senate amendments will be offered to almost ev ery section of It. Such action. It is well understood, will seriously delay finil action upon it, even if It should not re sult in defeat of Its ratilicatlon. It Is stated definitely that any amendment to the treaty would spoil the entire canal project, as tho government of Colombia might hesitate to accept amendments made to It, particularly If ihey Involved essential details of principles. During the conference today the situa tion was considered carefully, but what decision. If any. was reached, could not bo ascertained. It is known only that an earnest effort Is to be made In the Senate to secure ratification of the treaty at the present session, but the method of pro cedure Is not disclosed. While the treaty will not fall,xeven If It should not be rati fied at this session, the officials fear that the deliy which would result from falluro of the Senate to take final action might Involve serious consequences. Tho Senate committee on foreign rela tions again discussed the treaty, but did not reach a conclusion. Tho discussion was based entirely upon the amendments to the treaty which were offered yester day by Senator Morgin. Senator Morgan's resolution directing an Inquiry into the credentials of Senor Herran, who negotiated the treaty on the part of Colombia, was voted down. Senator Morgan said In the course of his dlscurrion of the question that his only purpose was to perfect the treaty, so that there would be no "trouble In the future. He declared that his Interest in the pro posed canal was tn great as It would be If the Nicaragua, route had been chosen. He felt, he eald, that the document. In Its present shape, did not guard details as carefully aa it should, and he urged his amendments ao calculated to accomplish that end. GETTING FIGURES OX SHIPS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3L The Navy De partment has received full reports from Its agents abroad respecting the size, displacement, armament, defensive pow ct. speed and cost of the vessels now building for Chile and Argentina In Eu rope.

There was not a quorum present, and the situation was at the mercy of Payne, the Republican flopr leader. He allowed the bills to which he was not opposed to pass, but every one to which he raised objection was laid aside. Thirty-two of the 45 bills were parsed. It was then agreed by unani mous consent that the remaining 13 should be considered next Tuesday. Then at 11 o clock the House adjourned until 12 noon. THREE SHIFTS AT XAVV-YAnD.
