THE THEATRE-FATINITZA-M MATINEE To-
DAY.-The little people, who, we are IN
clincd to think, are brownies, or fairies, or
some preternaturaIy-p race OF
children, gave another representation or
FatinitZl last night. 1t seems Impossible
that they are really children, and yet when
one looks ut their fresh and innocent faces
it seems impossible for them to be anything
else. Still! one leaves the Theatre with a
sense OF cnchantmcnt upon him, and eX-
poets to sec Il Will.o' 'thc-wisp on the way
home. When sleep visits the eyelids after
seeing " Fatinitza" in miniature, visions
OF seraglios and Turks, and SHOWS and Rus
SLAMS, are seen until one believes hm>elf
undcrth wand OF some Eastern enchanter
who can cover an orange-tree in 1ull bloom
with his handkerchief. Julian Hardy (John
Smith). the special war correspondent, car
ries off the palm in this opera, although the
Princess Lydia (Lillie Parsloe) rivals him.
This fairy sings and acts so sweetIy that one
constantly hears such remarks as would
spoil any child if addressed TO her, so we
cannot repeat them.
Although all the characters were wei! re-
presented, probably Mustapha(Gcor"e Lell-
nert), guardian OF the harem, coal black
eunuch, was one OF the most mirth-proyo-
| king. OHc'S lueas VI INC beauilc' "a III"
harem become considerably modified when
the ladies viewed are kept in order by a
cat-o'-nine-taiIs. All the ideas ever cleaned
from the writings of Byron and Moore on
the subject are scattered TO the winds by the
irrepre>sible Mustapha. The Grand Turk
himself (William Smitb) is something on
the order Of the one met By some English
officers who offered him wine, which be an
griy rejected, leaving them in high dud
geon, but he soon dismissed his attendants
and returning said: 'Bedad, III take some
now, av ye plaSe.'
The music was rather too heavy for the
children's voices, but they sang so truly
that every one seemed to enjoy it.
This afternoon there will be Il grand mat
inee at . O'Clock, and tonight the little
folks close their engagement.

Mr.. Davis, OF West Virginia, from the
Committee on Appropriations. stated
that IN consideration OF the present
state of the business before the Senate,
the committee were unable TO concur in
the date i'm the House joint resolution
fixing tomorrow as the day OF adjourn
ment.
The Senate took up the bill introduced
by Mr.. Mcpherson 70 amend the act OF
1898 in regard to enrolling and licensing
vessels engaged in fisheries.
The bill to amend the enrolment
licensing act went over on the eXpIra-
ton of the morning hour, and the sup
Elemental judicial appropriation bill
was taken up.
Mr.. Davis said that this was the most
pernicious OF the measures lately intro
duced in Congress. 1t would, If it be-
came law, shake the confidence OF all
justice-loying people in our judicial
system.
Mr.. Wallace moved to amend 10y III
sarting after theClause, prohibiting any
liability 10 be incurred 10y any depart
ment for the future payment Of money,
until an appropriation therefor shall
have been made, the words, except
as is provided for in Section 1892 Of the
Revised Statutes" Section 1872, except
the War and Navy Departments from
the general law on tins subject.
Adopted.
The bill was reported back 10 the SEN
ate, and the amendments made in Com
mittee OF the Whole were agreed TO.
Mr.. Hill moved, as per previous
notice, to strike out Of the third section
the words "In district in which such
is now the practice
Mr. Wallace opposed the amendment.
The words mentioned formed an lnten-
tiOna exception, the object OF the bill
being to create a uniform Federal sys
TEN oi drawing jurors. The amend
ment would destroy this uniformity.
Mr. Carpenter said he would vote for
the amendment He would, at the
proper time, like IN unite with the law
vers of this body in framing a Federal
! jury law. At present there was no such
/ thing as a trial bv jury in the Federal
courts, the trial was by the marshall
/ and clerk, and they could pack jury 10
convict or acquit, as they pleased. He
wished the lawyers OF the Senate would
/ let this matter 90 over until December,
/ a delay of six months more. After
\ bearing the evil sixty years,
it would not make much differ
ence, and it was impossible
