It act k ually brought conservative ,old Fort- land out of Its shell and applause rang "throughout the house and hundreds of t handkerchiefs and 'soarf a were waved -.; frantically and there Wera even, a few t cries of "Brava!" And this all , for : Madame Nordlca, the conquerorl " He muit bs cold Indeed who cannot thrill , to her beautiful voice and her warn I personality, . , . . And ' that wai not all. The orchea i tra played, and It played with all It : . soul. They wr all - Wagnerian for the moment and they played with ' one 1 ' DlrlL Of course It la Dart of the "pro- ; ; a-raro of every orchestra and hand of r any achievement, tn the country to play tns Tannhauser overture at-some time or other, but It Is not a part of their ; program' to play It as it was played last 1 1 night. I have always thought this over- j ture one of the rnoBt Inspiring things , fiver written, la spits of the fact that vvagnnr in ins rigni or nis later- won . h. repudlatedtha-pera-wlth;.?lohengrrin!lJ ana soms oiners as unworiny or niro. -Ana last night 1 relt now lortunale u was that he did not do as Monet who. dissatisfied with his - paintings, de- stroyed dozens of - hVa valuable works one day. When all the brasses join in with all their strength ts blare out the Pilgrim's chorus onos mora and this time in triumph over the pagan it took all my force of will to keep me from rls- ng rig ght up la. my seat and joining; the rlorlous sons. it naa never oerore Deen played so splendidly hers . as Damrosch . Dlaved it last nisht. f ' But that was only a part of tha pro . cram. He gave us the best known ex , cerpts from tha best known operas of V, Wagner. There were many dreamy eyes wnen ne piayea . mi i-onengrin onaei ' rnusio and the stately prelude from the same opera. - "Die Melstersinger" prise song was appreciated in Its melodious beauty; the flashing "Ride of the Val kyries, the Siegfried" Imitation of forest murmurlngs, and the Tristram and Isolds number were all heard ap- fireclatlvely. In , truth, I believe Port and has seldom seen a better behaved and mora constantly interested- audi ence than last night's and Incidentally it was the largest audience that has ever heard a musical program hers. Madams Nordica's appearance was the signal for thunderous applause and she was certainly apprised of her popularity In Portland. As a pretty compliment she wore the Hose Festival" colors, pink and green, a crown of La France roses and a shoulder bouquet of them. And with her first . notes her personality pervaded the vast hall to the farthest corner of the gallery. Bhe 'was vocal warmth and power personified. The Elisabeth aria was sung first and her dramatlo ferver thrilled everyone In the house. As an, encore' aha sans; the FEAR OUTBREAK AMQFfGVVORKIilEN Soldiers of Fortune Arous- ing Dissention Among: ' Employes on. Canal. (United Prees feastd Wire.)

When the people say they want Chamberlain for senator It la the duty of the members of the legislature to obey that will, whether they havs taken Statement No. 1 or ' IlOt ' - :'.

If I were In the leg islature now I would vote for the peo ple's choice, irrespective of whether or nnt I was nledared to Statement No. 1, because I would consider that as a servant of the people I should observe their expressed will. Republican votes elected Chamberlain last Monday. so why should not a Bepublloan legislature ratify those votes? Of course, the legis ' lature should elect Chamberlain." ,"' : Obey Pop, lays Brownsll. ' George C Brownell of Oregon City Is Mtnnkn 4n his oDlnion .that the mem bers of the legislature should harken to the voice Of the people and elect th; senatorial candidate who has received the popular vote at the polls. -"In the first plaee," hs said, "certain leading interests of Fortiana for sev eral years made a bitter 'fight against the Mitchell and the Simon machines. They then were An favor of destroying all machine rule In politics. The result Was the primary legislation of Oregon. - "These Interests were undoubtedly in sincere and their efforts were largely made for the purpose of constructing a machine that they could control and dominate and Jn this they have failed. Now they are trying to destroy the Republican party in the state by ad- vising - and leading it to disobey the expressed Will of the people at the polls. :. -i - .' Too Xats Vow. "If these men or interests did not want George B. ; Chamberlain to be elected It was their duty to have made sn as:a:resslve fight in favor of the Bepublloan nominee. They undoubtedly failed to do this wun us nope oi tnrow ing the fight into the legislature with ih, Mm nf hetravlns the expressed wiBhes of the people of this sta'te electing some Bepublloan to the united States senate who will represent the . special interests and not the people. "We have elected three representa tives from Clackamas county, and if they should fait which they will not do. to vote for Oeorge E. Chamberlain after he haa received the popular vt they - will be completely discredited opular ; vote credited in this county and politically and other wlas ruinedi , -They are, however, able . men of high honor and will undoubtedly ' keep their pledges and carry out ths people's will.-' "i-- j "Tbn, again, if the Republican mem bers of the legislature should fall to dainty Greta; song "Ich Liebe DlcrV and put a world of wealth and color into It Her group Of songs: that followed ths Interlude was delightful. . "Spring" (Hammond), "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal' (Qulter), with the daintiest lit tle touch, and "Arietta" (Vidal), which soms might consider her most cap tl vat Inr work of the evening, were all wild ly applauded and It was after this that the houss rose in its seats and insisted on her return. "The Year's at the Spring," that pulsating Joyous song of Mrs H. H. A. Beach, was given in en core, and with a little less arjanaon ana more ststeliness than is usually sung Into It she showed a new phase of the lovely iirus song. Her most difficult work v came It) Isolde's Liebestod and tragedy rang through it, It was her supreme moment and the audience appreciated it. y, , It mutt be a trying thing to ! sit through ths entlrs prelude, to feel the muslo vibrating to ths center of One's being and yet nave to sit still till ons's note is struck. - And soms of madams's notes, I thought, sounded Ilka the- wall ing of the deep notes of a violin' with the most delicate vibrations jioticeable In Its vsry poles, ? Grand that poor overworked word Is the expression one must perforce apply to her voice. It Is grand and majestic, -., When all is told, I believe that the orchestra's supreme moment was in ths last movement of the Tschalkowsky "Symphony Pathetlque," which was played in the afternoon. Splendid work was done in the Beethoven C Minor, and splendid work in the Wagnerian num bers, but to me that magnificent dirge seemed the crowning moment As one musician said: "I wanted every one to fo off and die alter tnat numter: i ldn't want to hear a sound." But fate was tot kind and the effect had to be broken by ill-suited applause. Of eourss the publlo deems that the best way to show appreciation. But the apprecia tion that is struck dumb, that Is lnoa- pable of expression, is Higher. The en- tire svmrjhonv a beautiful thing, beautifully InierDrsted. There have been times when the pub lic was glad a series of muslcales was over, I don't think this was . a case. The concerts vibrated with life .. and spirit and no one's Interest flagged. Damrosch Is a wonderful conductor, a man of foroe and individuality and he Impresses this upon the people through his orchestra and through 'himself. And few became tired enough to leave bepre the program was over. And for a crowd that filled the Armory to the back sests of ths gallery, and stood up around the walls, to keep its Interest sustained to the last of such a program as was given last night, is an accom plishment and any one, whether it be ue manager, the director, the orchestra eary out tha people's wlllr ths result would be a Democratic "stats for ths next 18 years. Ths idea of this contest simply means this: That . tne people of Oregon will have but one machine in Oregon, and that machine will be the machine of the neoole and the voters. and thsy will insist th having, their wisnes carriea out, - , Sleet Own Benators. ' "The people have found out that they cannot depend upon the senate of the United States to change the- method of electing United States senators, and so far as the stats of Oregon ts con cerned at least the people propose to nominate and elect their United States senators Instead of allowing them to be made by a combination of special Inter ests ' of the state by and through- the oia macnine metnoaa ox pontics. ir those individuals who are now opposed to Mr. Chamberlain had wanted to defeat him tha time to have done It was at the ballot box. The people de cided against them' and now they have got to tane tneir medicine" ' "Settled by the reopte." W. B. Ayer Is another Republican wno cannot conceive or sucn a thing as the legislature's failing to elect Gov ernor cnamoenain when the time for such election cornea "Any talk that there may be about the legislature not electing Governor Chamberlain United States senator la in my Judgment, simply the petty feel ing of dlssppointment coming to the surface and amounts to nothing," he said. 'It la absolutely Inconceivable that any candidate for the legislature pledging himself before election to vote for the people's choice -could, after election, break that solemn promise. There should not anA cannot, be Snv doubt about Governor Chamberlain's election. It was settled by the people." . "Traitor," Bays Idlemaa. C. M. Idleman, ex -chairman of the Republican city and county central committee, was short and to the point In his oninlon. "I think that anv man " he said, "who goes back on his fellow- man or goes bacg on ma contract is traitor." v - -. - ,, "I presumed that when candidates for the legislature signed the Statement No. 1 pledge they did so in good faith. That l about all any one could say on ths subject." This is the way L. A. Mo nary, ex-city attorney, and a prominent Republican looks at tha question. "When a man has made such a pledge to the people of the state, whether well advised or 111 sdvised, I do not see that he can do anything but keep his pledge." This ts the -opinion of John GUI. presi dent of the Union Republican club. W. C. Bristol, ex-United States attor ney also is emphatlo in his stand. He "The Statement No. 1 members of the legislature should discharge their duty and fulfill their pledge and obligation and carry out the will of the people and vote form Democrat for United States senator."

The third and fourth movements carry one on through tha conflicts and fullness of life, only to leave one at last in the darkness of doubt and the tragedy of unfulfilled desires. It Is a wonderful composition and to have heard the New York Symphony orchestra play It Is an education. Mr. Damrosch himself Is a wonderful leader Obtaining his grsateat effects with great ease.
