A NEW THEATER.
Edward Stokes to Erect a Magnificent The
ater in New York at an Early Day.
Special Telegram to the Globe


New YORK, Jan. 28.-For some time past
Mr.. Edward Stokes, of the Hoff-
man house, has been trying to
purchase from the heirs of the Nc
Comb estate the site of the burned
Park theater, at Broadway and Twenty
seventh street. These negotiations were
suddenly terminated recently by refusal
of the representatives of the estate, Mr..
Wm. Jay, of this city, and the Hon. Levi
P. Morton, to sell the property. They
agreed to lease it, however, for term of
twenty-one years from the 1st of May
next. Mr.. Stokes preferred to purchase,
but concluded to lease. Negotiations
looking to that end were entered
upon, and were virtually concluded on
Thursday evening last, when memoranda
um lease was offered Mr.. Stokes by Mr..
Jay. It's terms were accepted by Mr..
Stokes, and an appointment was made by
him to meet Mr.. Jay yesterday morning for
the purpose of signing the lease. Mr..
Stokes was on hand and had with him a
cheek for $4,000, which was to be paid
over as a consideration to bind the con-
tract Mr.. Morton, however, had cabled
that the matter would be left with Mr..
Bliss, his business partner. The latter
gentleman examined into the
plans and came to the conclusion
that they we're unobjectionable.
The matter was left in allegiance until Mon
day, when another meeting is to be held.
The plans of the building which Mr.Stokes
proposed to erect in case he secures a
lease call for a very handsome and sub
stantial structure as near fire proof as such
building can be made. The Broadway
front will be occupied by stores and Of
fees, and the entrance to the theater will
be on this front. The theater itself will be
about the same size as the burned theater,
and it will be furnished and decorated in
the most elaborate style.

WASHINGTON.
The President to Call an Extra Session if a
Tariff Bill is not Passed-Leases of Past
ure Lands in the Indian Territory---The
Census.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Judge Reagan
made a statement on the floor of the house
yesterday, which arrested the attention of
everybody. He said that two senators had,
within the last day or two, said to him that
the president had, in conversation with
him, declared that if bill reducing the
tariff and internal revenue taxes was not
passed this session, he would call an extra
session of congress. This evening Judge
Reagan was asked to give the names of the
senators with whom he had the converse
the floor of the house. The Judge said
that he was not at liberty to give the names,
but he would say that they were
perfectly reliable men, and sustained such
intimate relations with the president that
it was not unreasonable to suppose that
the president had taken them into his con-
fidence.
The secretary of the interior has reached
an important conclusion which has not
yet been promulgated, to the effect that
none of the leases of cattle owners with
the Indians in the Indian territory shall
be ratified. He stated some days ago that
leases with individual Indians would not
be ratified, but this decree affects also the
leases with the Indian councils.
There has latterly been great
rush for possession of pasture
lands in the territory, and the fear in the
department and in the senate Indian COM
mittee is that if these corporations and
great cattle raisers get fast hold on the
territory by long leases, it will be impossi-
BILE to get them out. The Indians can still
grant pasturage privileges from season to
season as they have in the past.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The Marquis of
Lorne attended St.John's Episcopal church
this morning. He was subsequently enter
tanned at dinner by Gen.Sherman. To-mor-
row the marquis will meet the diplomatic
corps at an early dinner given by the Brit
ish minister.
The plan of General Walker to complete
the 10th census contemplates reduction
of the volume of reports upon special top
les, from 1900 to about 5000 pages.
General Walker adds that all reports not
already printed are in fair state of pro-
gress. Acting Superintendent Seaton,
the third chief clerk, is prostrated. One is
dead, another gone south, and the third lin
gers upon the verge of most distressing
disability. The general resmes charge of
the census, and if granted the necessary
money says he will bring the whole bust
ness to close the current calendar year.
The expense of this census will be about
nine and one-half cents per head of the
population, against nine cents in the
ninth. An appropriation of $4,000 will be
enough to complete the work.

DO NICE GIRLS SMOKE =?

She Thinks Some of them Do, and Says the
Habit Is q Common One in European So
ciety.
Says Clara Belle in the Cincinnati En-
quirer:: Somebody reminded Us of Miss
Rorke, who gracefully puffed cigarette in
Brighton" as played by the Wyndham
Comedy company. 1t was remarked, too,
that Lolita burns tobacco in some of her
plays. One who professed to know said
that Lotta's cigarettes were not tobacco.
Thereupon a girl confessed that she
smoked habitually, had learned to like it.,
and could see nothing unlady-
like in the practice. Did not
the grand duchesses of Spain smoke?
And she would like to know if their man.
ners were to be condemned. A third girl,
who lately returned from tour in Europe,
told US that smoking had become quite
fashionable in Germany, Russia and
Austria. In each of these countries she
saw real ladies beguiling themselves with
cigarettes and even pipes and cigars.
This is not done without causing frowns,
of course, but the habit seems to be max
ing headway against the opposition. l ar
gued that the use of tobacco in any shape
was destructive to the charm OF women,
and that any girl who fell into the vice
would necessarily become coarse and mas
culine in her manners. It was retorted
upon me that nothing could be more grace
full than girl reclining in her easy chair
and blowing rings of smoke toward the
ceiling or knocking off the ashes from her
cigarette with a dainty touch of her little
finger, and thus, perhaps, soothing away
the headache of a nights dancing.
s'But how would you like to have
gentleman find the odor of tobacco on
your lips when he kisses your" somebody
impulsively asked.
''And how many gentlemen have you
kissed in year without tasting tobacco on
their ips?"
The demure young lady who asked the
last question felt that she had said too
much, and the discussion ended in sudden
silence

nothing except the unscrupulousness of
this model reformer, and the reprehensible
character of the methods wherewith
he continues to keep in public life.
1t is an instance of a mans success
which ends him forever. Wind om's trip
to Minnesota is made in the desperate
hope of defeating his enemies. Window
fancied himself high on the list of coming
men for the presidency. All that has van
ished. The country will never view with
favor any man whose hold on Office meets
with such terrible resistance in his own
state.
The United States senators on the Re-
publican side who would fare better were
they to submit themselves to the ordeal of
the popular Judgment, are few indeed.
1t is bad outlook for the GLORIOUS old
party" The election last fall and the fate
of senators with expiring terms certainly
are ominous signs.

A good joke was played upon San
Francisco photographer on the day of the
snowstorm. Anxious to preserve lasting
memento of so rare an occurrence, he
brought his camera onto the sidewalk and
prepared to hold the mirror to nature. In
order to make the picture effective, he mar
shaled into line some dozen ''gamins," who
with snowballs in their hands were to rep

When all was ready he gave the following
order: "Boys, when 1 say one, two, three
fire, let fly your snowballs." The camera
was all fixed, and the photographers voice
was heard from under the cloth at the bus
mess end of the machine, calling out
"One, two, three, fire." The boys did fire
but with such deadly effect that camera
and operator both rolled over in the snow

The People Don't Want Windon,.
Correspondence st. Paul Globe. I

MooRHEAD, Mimi, Jan. 27.-From an ar
ticle that appeared in the Window organ
of st. Paul, some might infer that the
course taken by Mr.. Comstock, our senator
elect, that this county and senatorial dis
trict wanted to see Window elected. 1t is
known that Comstock is a strong
supporter of the boss, as he en-
listed over year ago in the ranks of the
old fossil ring of Republican bosses.
This same body OF old fossils decided
early in the spring of last year to return
Window, nominate and elect Kn1te Nelson
to congress, so as to keep the Washburn
family good natured and hold together the
Norwegian element that forms a very
large part of our Legislature. While Com
stock is strong Window man, the people
of Clay county would like to see the old
gentleman retired.

New YORK, Jan. 2S.-John Mace and
Herbert A. Slade visited the Police Gazette
Office and held levee lasting about two
hours. Sporting gentlemen from all
sections of the city focked to Mr.. Fox's
drawing room, and were introduced by
him to Mr.. Slade. Everybody knew or
pretended to know Mace. Considerable
was said about glove fights between Slade
and Sullivan, of Boston, or between Mace
and Sullivan in the Madison Square gar
den. The fact that the authorities have
decided that glove fights are illegal, seemed
to have been forgotten. Al
Smith, noted sporting man, was the first,
outside of Mr.. Fox, to talk business. Mr..
Smith said he would back Sullivan for
$4,000 to fight Slade. William Edwards,
who has offered to bet $1,000 with Fox or
any other man that Mace cannot knock
him out in four rounds with hard gloves,
according to the marquis of Queensbury
rules, has not yet heard from Mace or any
of his admirers. Edwards was to-day in
receipt of numerous offers from boxers
and others who declare themselves willing
to back him for any amount in an en-
counter with Mace. Henry Bergh
has written vigorous letter to Mayor Ed
son on the subject of the pugilistic meet
ing Monday night. He implores the may
or to follow the example of the little city
of Troy and forbid these fights with or
without gloves, and thereby reassure the
respectable people of this great city that
they are not ruled by the representatives
of the prize ring.
