The city tax rate still hangs tire. City council hold u meeting last evening for the purpose of appointing a committee to confer with a similar body from the hoard of aldermen to decide the matter. Several of the members of council wanted to take the power of appointment of the committee out of the hands of President Snowdrn and lot council name the committee. However, President Snowden named Councilmen P.urkc and Harrison I on the committee. An appeal from the decision of the chair In making the appointment, made by Councilman Brockett, with Vice President Smith presiding, was sustained by a vote of 9 to 5.

Laws regulating the city council were read on the subject by C'ouncllmen Swan and Chauncey, both of whom believed that council had a right to elect the committee. The right of the president to appoint the committee was upheld by Councilman Smith. President Snowden declared he would not entertain the motion. The chair then nam.ed Councilmen Burke and Harrison on the committee. Councilman Brockett then appealed from the decision of the chair and suggested council elect its own committee. Before adjourning council adopted the report of the finaiye committee, recommending that the city make a temporary loan of $22,000 to meet certain obligations. Transfer Prisoners Monday.

Before an audience which taxed the National Theater to its capacity, Isadora Duncan appeared yesterday afternoon in an "interpretation of musical compositions" by means of the dance. In collaboration with Walter Damrosch's New York Symphony Orchestra she sought to extract from Wagner's compositions the soul of music and embody it in the poetrvof motion. It is needless to say that it was a daring undertaking, concerning which controversy has become familiar. Her audience was sincerely interested In following her interpretations, and the enjoyment of Mr. Damrosch's orchestra's able renditions was unquestionable. "The Round-lip." Klaw Rrlanger's production of "The Round-up" will be next week's attraction at the National. This spectacular melodrama of life in southwestern Arizona when Gen. Crook was chasing Conehise, tho famous Apache marauder, and his band back to their reservation has made a strong appeal to theater goers. Its story is true to nature, and Us characters are striking, well drawn and cleverly contrasted. Realistic personalities tell the story In a thrilling way. The sense of witnessing stage mimicry seems entirely lost in "The Round-up." This is probably the secret of its great success. There will be an auxiliary organization of over 150 people, including soldiers, scouts, "cow-punchers," Mexican vaqueros, Arizona gil ls. Apache Indians and twenty iiorses. A feature is made of the Indian fight in the third-act, the scene of which is the lava beds of southern Arizona. A matinee will be given Wednesday. Sale of seats opens Thursday morning. "The Havoc."

The play bus proved not only a financial success, but j a means of providing Mr. Miller one of j the greatest roles he lias ever played. His characterization of Richard t'raig. it : Is declared, has grown in dignity and power since the night he created it in Washington, and now stands out as one of the greatest dramatic portraits lie lias given the American stage. "An Old New Yorker." Thomas A. Wise will appear in "An Old New Yorker," whirh will have its premiere at the Bclasco Theater next Monday, under the direction of William A. Brady. "An Old New Yorker"' is the joint production of .Harrison Rhoades and Mr. Wise himself.

The old New Yorker of the 'new play Is Samuel Beekman, a descendant of one of the old Manhattan families and a representative of true traditions. The p'ay deals with the confl'ct between old anil new ideas of doing business, but it is more a play of human ami heart interest and old New York than of business. In Mr. Wse's supporting company are William Rossell. George Gaston, Arthur L. Cogsliter, Kthelbert Hales, W'llard Perry, John B. Maher, Harold Howard, Lindsay J. Hall, Donald Macintire, Blanche Yurka, Gertrude Whltty, Esther Banks, Lettie Ford, Lola May, Dorothy Wilson and Frances McLeod. Operatic Festival at Chase's.

Newman has purposely withheld it for the last to fortify himself in the esteem of his patrons in anticipation of his return to the city a year hence. The motion pictures are particularly good. Adolphe Bore hard. A personality likely to appeal to the musical public of this city Is that of Adolphe Borchard, the French piano virtuoso, who makes his appearance Wednesday, March 15, at the Columbia Theater. Borchard is still a very young man ?barely twenty-eight?but he is a musician of sound attainments and a pianist, according to the critics and public that have heard him. worthy of the highest consideration. Apart from his musical abilities, he seems to have an indefinable something in the nay of magnetism that is a strong asset with his planistic resource. In the compositions of all schools Borchard is reputed equally successful. lie combines rare temperamental qualities v.lth a musical intelligence that provides a performance musically well balanced. Mischa Elman. Mischa Elman, the young Russian violinist, who will play at the Columbia Theater Friday afternoon, owns the famous Stradivarius which formerly belonged to Joachim, and he uses it with a skill that produces a wonderfully mellow, rich and rounded tone. Elman is without doubt one of the most talented violinists now living. He has every advantage that training can give to natural disposition, a left hand that accomplishes wonders and a bow arm elastic, vigorous and powerful, that imparts ceaseless vitality to hia playing. Prof. Clark's Headings. Prof. S. H. Clark, who will read at the New Willard March 10, 11 and 14, has secured the exclusive right to read "Dolly Reforming Herself," the latest eomedv by Henry Arthur Jones. This play is one of the features of his course, which also includes "Chantecler." Prof. Clark develops especial interest in the Rostand drama as a symbolic work portraying the world's materialism. The peacock represents the senseless and effeminate dandy; the crow, the all-wise but cruel jester, and Chantecler, the cock, a lonely idealist in a world that sneers at things really worth while. He is the one fowl of the barnyard who is ever looking upward toward the sun, while the others are groveling with their beaks in the J ground. Prof. Clark's reading of "Chantecler" j Saturday afternoon, March 11, will be for the benefit of the National Homeopathic Hospital. Frank McCauley of Baltimore was strapped to the whipping post in the Jail yesterday and received Ave lashes at the hands of Sheriff John J. Hanson. This was part of the punishment meted out to McCauley by Judge Duffy, In the criminal court, for beating his wife.
