SUMNER CALc1TRANT.-The N. Y. Herald s

The forthcoming speech of Senator Sumner
ON the Presidents West indian policy is the
excitement in political circles. The Senator 8
friends in the Republican party have been ad-
v'sing him to abandon his war upon the Presi-
dent, aud several Of the most prominent OF
them have warned him that his course will
meet the sapproval OF a large majority OF the
party. MIR. Sumner, however, is inexorable
The result OF his speech will probably be bis
removal from the craftsmanship of the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations. Republican Sena-
tors argue that it is alike unjust to the admin
istration and to the majority in Congress who
support the administration to have at the head
OF The leading committee OF the Senate a Sena-
tor hostile to the President as any on the Dem
cratic side. Mr.. Sumner is not as sick az has
been represented in some newspapers. He ex-
peers to be out on Monday, and on Tuesday
will probably make his speech in the Senate.

JOHN E. OwENs.-This celebrated comedian
who takes rank with Burton, Jefferson, Gill
bert and Warren in the annals of the Ameri-
Can stage was born in Liverpool, England, in
1871, but was brought to this country when
ABOUT three years old and fest settled with his
family 10 Baltimore, but ten years later the
FAMILY removed to Philadelphia. His dramat-
&c debut was made at the National Theatre in
mat City under the management of the late w.
Il. Burton during the engagement of Char
lotte Cushman. Iu 1919 he became one of the
managers OF the Baltimore Museum. In 1852,
at the earnest solicitation of John Broug tam,
MI owens inaugurated Brougham's Lyceum,
afterwards the Broadway Theatre, New York
In 1867 he declined very fattering engage
ment at the Adelphi Theatre, London, Eng,
under Mime. Celeste's management, but made
tonr OF the ointment and assembled Mont
Blanc, giving his Mont Blanc entertainment
on his return to this country. In 1858 he was
attached to the wonderful combination COM
pany playing at the howard Atbeneum, Bos
ton. under the management Of Jacob Barrow
probably the most brilliant collection Of star
actors ever Brought under one management in
this country-aud in 1859 became ma nager OF
the Varieties Theatre, New Orleans, which he
conducted till the war troubles began in 1860
On Aug, 10Th, 1864, he commenced one of the
most brilliant engagements ever known al
Wallacks Theatre, New York, where his great
impersonation, "Solon Shingle," was probably
Witnessed by over halt a million people. The
engagement closed in the spring of 1865, when
he visited England, opening at the Adephi
Theatre July 81, 1866, and creating as great a
reputation IN "oolon Single" as Jefferson has
created in RIP Van Wlnkle,' or Sotbern IN
Lord Dundreary." On Aug. q, 1869. he COM
menced an engagement at Wallack's, New
York, as John Uuit," in Mrs. Bateman's com
edy OF "Seif," which character, like that Of
"Solon Single" he has made his own.
Mr.. Owens is now travelling through the
Eastern States supported so it is SAID by an
excellent stock company and will devote two
evenings iu Portland, pe1t Friday and Satur-
day. Those vino do not take advantage of the
opportunity NOW offered them will never ceas-
to regret it, as MIR. Owens will probably soon
retire from the stage, being now almost a mil
lionaire, and he visits these eastern cities 40
that the many may witness an actor Who 10

lstte Cushman in theirs. ,-
