WASHINGTON Nov 10. 1879.
SECRETARY sHERMAN's OBJECTION TO CON-
TINUING THE COINAGE OF STANDARD sILvEB
DOLLARS.
1t is understood that Secretary Sherman will
urgently recommend in his annual report the repeal
of the law making it mandatory upon the Treasury
Department to coin the standard silver dollars. He
will show that not one-fourh of the amount already
coined has gone into circulation. and It's accumula-
ton is not only becoming source of annoy
ance to the Treasury, but currency is being
locked up in the most unsatisfactory manner by the
provisions of the law requiring the monthly coinage
of not less than two millions of standard silver dol
lars. besides the useless tax the capacity of the
mint. The dscontnuance of the coinage Of the
silver would enable the mint at Philadelphia to
the large amount OF gold which has accumulated
this fall.
NAVAL OFFICERS OPPOSE THE APPOINTMENT OF
DIR. WALES AS SURGEON GENERAL OF THE
NAVY.
The officers Of the medical corps of the navy. who
feel aggrieved by the selection of Medical Inspector
Wales to be Surgeon General of the Navy, have pre-
pared statement OF the law rulings of the Navy
Department and the reports of the Senate Commit
tee in regard to the action oil the Secretary
of the Navy. which they will present to
the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs at
the coming meeting of Congress to defeat his
confirmation. DR.. Wales does not belong to the rank
of medical directors but ranks number six on the
list of medical inspectors The brief which the stad
officers will present to the Senate Committee
points out that appoint junior officer from the
second grade of corps over fifteen Of higher rank

"PINAFORE'S" CREW.

ARRIVAL OF MR.. D'oYLEY CARTE WITH THE
GILBERT SULLIVAN OPERA ooMpANY--wHAr
HE HAS TO SAY ABOUT HIS ARTISTS AND HIS
ARREST AT LIVERPOOL.
Mr.. IL. Doyley Carte arrived at this port yester-
day by the steamship Gallia, bringing with him
the principals of the opera company special
ly organized by him for the perform
ance of Mr.. ailberts DIR. sulivan's operas
in this country. The steamer reached her dock
about three o'clock but the necessity Of getting his
largo party ashore and comfortably housed kept Mr.
Carte on the go during tho early part Of the evening
so that it was late hour before HERALD reporter
found him prepared to talk his future plans and
prospects.
THE COMPANY.
ssThe company" he said, comprises Mr.. j. II.
Ryley Mr. Brocolini. Miss Alice Barnett. Miss Jessie
Bond, Miss Rosna Brandram and Mr.. Hugh Talbot.
Miss Blanche Roosevelt, the prima donna. over
by the Dothnia week ago. and Mr.. Furneaux Cook
will sail by the Algeria next week. Mr.. Ryloy. our
principal comedian. has made considerable
reputation in England by his performance
OF Sir Joseph Porter In 'Pinafore. and es-
pecaliy of John Wellington Wells in The Sorcerer
lie will be cast for the principal comedy part In the
new opera. MIR. BrocoliDi has lived mostly in
America and is known here rs MIR. John Clarke. but
for some years he engaged with Mr.. Mapeson in
Her Maiesty's opera He will be cast for the Cap
tain In "Pinafore' and for an important part in
the piece. Miss Barnett is good idea of
a Buttercup. She is q large and imposing person
"a plump and pleasing porson''-and she makes up
the part rather grotesquely She has played Butter
cup continuously during the last eight months ON my
provincial tours but prefer not talking about her at
any great length but to allow the public to judge
OF her for them selves. Miss Jessie Bond Is the
greatest contrast. or the smallest contrast.

The management Of tho Olympic Theatre evidently
spared pains in presenting their patrons last
evening with Suppe's famous opera of "Fatnitza."
Tho scenery was good. and tho orchestra
rendered the music with excellent taste.
1t evident. however. that by some
of those who personsted the respective characters
there a want of familiarity with their parts.
which detracted somewhat from the smoothness of
tho performance. Miss Recs Murelli made very
attractive Vladimir and Fatinitza. and. although
her voice Is light. she used IL effectively. The
best presentations of the evening were those
of Julian. the special newspaper mir.
Wceks), and of tho Count kantschakoG (Mr. Fra
noschl. The latter. although handicapped by in
ability to pronounce English correctly. has an
cellent voice and presence that enables
him to suitably portray the rough Russian
Generals nature. The opera will doubtless run
better hereafter. when 1t has become more familiar
to the people the stage. A large audience WAS
present and enjoyed the spectacle. 1t will be re-
peated until further notice.

Edwin Booth seldom or never faced an audience so
large as that which greeted him last night he
stepped on the stage Of the Grand Opera House.
All the seats in the great building were
filed. and even standing room was not easy to
get. while the immense volume Of applause
which for several minutes prevented the ac-
tors opehing lines showed in what appreciation
Mr.. Booth is held. The performance charao-

The strong speeches in Hamlet so well
known and Mr.. Booths renderings Of the Same SO
familiar. also his conception Of the character,
that all special comment required by his perform
is upon departures from improvements
upon his known readings and methods. In
the interview with the King we noted temporary
relapse into certain extravagances OF manner which
the actor apparently abandoned several years ago,
but in all the other notable the changes
for the better. The soliloquy which follows the
dismissal OF the players, III the second act opened
with magnificent outburst which had nothing
STACEY about it. but was simply manly and grand.
The second and third "waits" were so short that
the several hundred young men who had sought that
refreshment that the barrooms grant came tramping
in with persistency that ROBBED ALMOST the entire
audience of the famous soliloquy that opens the
third act and the earlier lines of the in
teryiew between Hamlet and his mother,
with which the fourth act begins; the
few who were near enough to the stage to hear.
however. noted these pOrtlons OF the play were
delivered with ner intelligence and effect than here

the longest and of the most exacting in the
drama-was played in q manner that meritcd high
est praise.
Many of the audience curious to know by what
rule the specially selected company was formed,
for do not remember to have seen Mr.. Booth
supported by poorer cast. The Polonus of Mr..
Ellsler was quite good, as was also the Laertes OF
MIR. Levick. Miss Kate Meek the Queen

always able to do it, Miss Mudener. as Ophelia,

IT is certainly no exaggeration to
say that President Hayes has never
appeared to better advantage than
he has in his speeches on his
tour. Mr.. Hayes is eminently a
practical business man. He sees
the needs of the country as well as
any man in it. He knows that the
people need encouragement and
this he gives them. In simple,
manly, earnest, direct way he speaks
of the improving financial eOndi-
ton, and it goes directly home to
his hearers. He speaks of Ameri-
can products and the increased for
eign demand for them Of the re-
vival in the railroad business and
the prospect for ar increased mum
Der he speaks of the black smoke
pouring from the mouths Of a
thousand furnaces, which for years
have been idle; he speaks Of the
exodus of gold and silver bullion to
this country, thus promising NOR e
money, but an imitation as far differ
ent from the Greenbacker's pet
idea as day is from night he
speaks of the increased demand for
labor aud the fair price paid for the
same. He sums the whole up as
proving beyond doubt that an era
of material prosperity is setting in,
which will most certainly spread
over the whole country, unless ar
rested by ill-advised legislation, or
some baleful influence Of like
kind.
