TO THE PRESIDENT f 0A The Administration Plan for the Settlement of the Japanese problem Passes the Senate. COMPOSER OF "SALOME Dr. Richard Strauss, the revolutionist of the musical world who has raised himself ito supreme prominence by the extraordinary daring and originality of his opera "Salome, which has caused such a furor in New York, must not be confounded with the Viennese waltz writers of the same name. Dr. Strauss is a composer of quite another brand and has become the rock on which the musical world has split. He has been the Hofkapellmeister In Berlin and has conducted an orchestra there, but as a musician be is best known as the writer of symphonic poems or "programme music" of an ultra modern type; and in compositions of this class he has been called the apostle of tonal ugliness, the Turner of musical literature and one who has begun where Wagner left off. Believing iu the suggestive power of a printed scheme, he not only presents tonal embodiments of persons and scenes, but hag endeavored to suggest the metaphysical pessimism of Nietzsche in his Also Spracht Zarathtnstra," But of more human interest Is his attempt in his musical score to trace the shifting details of romance. Thus in Don Quixote, marginal notes in the score enable one to follow the knight through an ingenious symbolizing of his reading of romances, his confusion of thought, his insanity, his wanderings, bis hallucinations and hla mishaps. It was as the representative of this style of writing that Dr. Strauss came to America with his wife, Paulina Strauss de Ahne, the singer, in 1904. They were heard In Detroit in concert in which Strauss played on the piano his own compositions and his wife sang. Although a great composer, ho Illustrated his business spirit during his American tour by closing it with a concert in a department store. the work by which Strauss has created a sensa"Salome, however, tion and refilled his coffers. Reviewers who witnessed It in Germany or New York (it has been barred from London and Paris) were convinced at once that heretofore Strauss labor as a programme writer has been futile and that his original style is best adapted to opera where the scenes, the acting and all the stage accessories lend assistance In forming the mental picture and sensation which the music strives to interpret. He haa no affectations or peculiarities of manner. WIFE OF NEW CABINET MEMBER Mrs. Oscar S. Straus, wife of the recently-appointe- d secretary of commerce and labor, the latest addition to the list of cabinet hostesses, made her first appearance In the White House receiving line on New Years day. Mrs. Straus brings to her new position a wide social experience, gathered in foreign lands. As the wife of the American minister to Turkey, she enjoyed a pleasant reputation as a clever, cordial woman of winning personality and unaffected manner. She Is the mother of two charming daughters, both of whom are married and a young son, still In a college preparatory school. Mrs. Straus entered at once very heartily into tlie'dutles of her new position, her strenuous period of househunting at a very awkward season of the year resulting in the leasing of the house recently built for former Senator and Mrs. John B. Henderson for their only son. A commodious structure, built In the Italian style, it has for distinguishing features a bcaiitliul ballroom and a series of reception rooms and a banquet hall quite the equal of anything in Washington. The house occupies a commanding site in the aristocratic residence section, and Is popularly known as the pink palace, owing to its style of architecture and the pink marble facings, which render it rather unusual. Mrs. Straus, who looks forward to a delightful first season at the national capital, has won the admiring comments of her associates by the execu-- ' tive ability displayed In entering Into possesMon of an absolutely new home, and within less than a fortnight observing her regular "at home" as calmly 8t any 'seasoned householder in the community.

Arthur Pue Gorman, son of the famous Maryland senator, will keep a deathbed promise to his father by trying to defeat Gov. Edwin Warfield for the United States senate. The last days of the elder Gorman were embittered by the alleged wrongs Inflicted by Warfield and the son promised to avenge him. Money will be no object In the campaign, which Is inspired by the wife of the late senator. She Inherited wealth, supposed to be millions, left by the dead statesman. The feeling of young Gorman against Gov. Warfield Is bitter. Warfield worked with the elder Gormans state organization in an obscure office until the former reached the governorship. Then the governor became Independent, appointing opponents of the organization to office, and defeated Gorman in the latter's declining days by vetoing his pet measure to disfranchise the negroes of Maryland. Young Gorman first came into notice three years ago when his father was In Europe. The young man had wanted his partys support for the 4tt1,e senate, hut his father had expressed the opinion tlmt he would better be sent to the house of delegates.
