Miss Kathie Schratt, German actress-from
Vlenna-made her first appearance on the American
stage, last night, at the ITALIA Theatre-acting
CyprieRse, in Sardous Divorconsp The piece,
though tainted, is amusing and the actress is one
who commingles luxurious mischief with demure
innocence, and has the graceful, practiced art
method so common in the theatres of Continental
Europe. She was received with an eager welcome.

TIE CHAMBER or COMMERCE. on BANK.
RTPTCY


The Special Committee of the New-Yorli
Chamber of Commerce on Bankruptcy have
issued their report, bringing the history of the
discussion down to the present time. The
Judiciary Subcommittee have also made their
report to the full committee of the Senate on
the subject of bankruptcy but their rules for
bid the disclosure Of any action that has thus
far been taken. While awaiting this report
Mr.. u. c. Robbins and lis associates suggest
some important points for the considerations
not only of the trading community OF New
York, but of the whole country. They admit
the importance of Bankrupt law, especially
for great centres of industry, but they point
out the extreme difficulty in formulating one
applicable at once to large cities and distant
country districts.
Public opinion seems to be divided between
those who want some kind Of a bankruptcy
Law and those who fear any kind The former
class consists OF importers and manufacturers
who are engaged in large transactions with big
cities while the latter consists of the great
houses engaged in the distr.batOn OF goods TO
the interior for consumption. 4 "Icmon-
STRANGE by these houses has been extensively
signed in Newly ork, and Is now being widely
circulated. The contest IN the various schemes
of legislation that have been propouudcd lies
between an official system which takes the
administration entirely out of tie hands of
the creditors and deals with the conduct of
the bankrupt judicialIy, and non-olcial
system which leaves it in the hands of a MAORI

CAMP SHEPLEY,
The Rain Interferes with Inspec-
tion of the Command.
THE REGIMENTS TO BREAK CAMP
TODAY.

AUGUSTA, Sept 22.-The inclement weather
OF the past two days has had depressing and
disastrous effect upon the muster, interfering
with the routine of camp life and at the same
time increasing tie discontinue of the young
soldiers. The regiments Will break camp be-
tween 12 and 1 o'clock tomorrow.
Considering that two days of the encamp-
ment have been almost wholly lost the militia
of the State has made commendable and en-
couraging advance in efficiency and drill In
the future the annual muster will be held at an
earlier date, before the September storms come
with their equinoctial fury. Notwithstanding
the bad weather there has been little sickness
at Camp Shepley although many of the men
have severe colds.
In the forenoon the command was inspect
ed by Brigadier General John j. Lynch, In
spector General, assisted by Lieutenant Totten
of the Fourth Battety, U. S. A. The battery
occupied the field in the beginning of the af
ternoon with their drill. When the field was
clear the infantry came filing out of their tents
by companies. The Capitol Guards, Portland
Light Infantry and Montgomery Guards threw
out skirmishers and drilled ia skirmish tacti cs.
The Montgomery Guards then gave an exhibi-
tion drill. The companies were next drawn
up into line and spent some time in firing by
platoons, companies and files. Dress parade
came at o'clock as usual. The battallons
were consolidated and the bands consolidated
on the right under command of Band Major
Bean. Adjutant Mitchell Of the First Regi-
ment acted as adjutant in forming the line,
md mi Toia of ~ Ia
geant major. Colonel Brown of the First Reg
iment took command but was obliged to omit

shower which interfered with the parade and
the troops were returned to their tents

EGYPTs WAR.
Arab Bey to be Tried by Court
Martial.
REPORT THAT DAMIETTA HAS SUR
RENDERED.

LONDON, Sept. pa dispatch from Cairo
to the Times says: Abdelial Pasha's negotia-
tions relative to the surrender of Damietta
seems to be intended only to gain time. 1t is
reported that he is strengthening his fortifica-
tions at that place."
The Daily News has the following dispatch:
Alexandria,, Sept. 21.-1125 p. M. 1t ap-
pears that Abdelial Pasha is willing to surren-
der, but the black troops under his command
refuse to do so. 1t is believed that the Egyp-
tians are intrenched beyond the fort on the
east side side of the river.
CAIRO, Sept. 22-Arabi Pasha and his ac-
completes, both military and civil, will be
tried by court martial. The officials and
troops throughout Soudan and all parts OF
Upper Egypt will proffer loyalty to the Khe-
dive. Thirty-six prisoners of war have es-
capped from the citadel by means of rope.
ALEXANDRIA, Sept. 22.-Abderahman
Rouohdi Bey, Maltese renegade, and minis
ter OF finance in Arabi's last ministry, has been
appointed by the Khedive president of the
commission to prosecute the instigators OF t. he
outrages here in June.
The English have abandoned the earthworks
they erected when they occupied Port Said,
and the marines have re-embarked.
All the rebel officers below the rank of col
onel confined in Ramleh have been released.
Fifty remaining prisoners have been brought
here. The expedition has started hence to oc-
cupy Damietta. No resistance is expected.
LONDON, Sept 23.-A dispatch from Alex
andris dated Friday night says Damietta has
surrendered.

Mrs. Melville's Insanity.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 22.-Mr. B. NJ. John
son, of Brooklyn half brother of the wife of
Engineer Melville, is in Indianapolis on pri-
vate business. In conversation he said that
Mrs. Melvilles insanity is the result of the
great mental strain consequent upon Mr.. Mel
yille's absence on the polar expedition, and to
which her extremely nervous temperament has
contributed. Last summer she spent two
months at Mr.. Johnson's residence, and at that
time there were indications of mental disturb
ance. She would sit up for hours and talk
about George her husband, and then suddenly
lapse into moody silence. AS a mother she
was very indulgent to her children, and in car
ing for them may have done so extravagantly
at times. She has married % years, and Mr.
johnson thinks that not six years of that time
has been spent in her husbands company, ow-
ing to his numerous voyages. He character
ICES Geo. Melville as one of natures noblemen,
a gentleman in all things. Mrs. Melville's
mother was a clear-headed, well-balanced wo-
man, and the report that she died insane is ut
terly without foundation.
Mr.. johnson does not think that Mrs. Mel
vile will ever recover, and he woul not be
surprised at any time to hear that she had at
tempted self-destructon. She is a woman nat
urally of a kind, loveable disposition, and the
story that she is a capital pistol shot is utterly
absurd, and grew out of the fact that she once
shot negro urglar who was getting in at the
window OF her residence. One hundred feet
away, with the moon as target, she could not
hit it.
