Rose Heard From Again.
NEW YORK. Dec. 30.-Rose Eytinge, the
actress, writes to the Tribune that Salmi
Morse must have a very bad case when
he finds it necessary to tell an untruth
about woman to make that case good.
II WAS not playing in San Francisco for
two weeks previous to his production of
the Passion Play. AS a matter of fact
at the Baldwin theater on the Monday
following its final appearance. My two
engagements in San Francisco were at
least pecuniarily successful, for I re-
ceiyed upwards of 5000. Morse's play
was given seven times, and Wildwood,
who furnished the money for It's produc-
ton, stated that he lost $4,000 by it.
The attempt to reproduce the play three
weeks later was met unfavorably by the
actors who played the part of Christ,
and the stopping of the performance by
the order Of the Mayor. l did not in
duce Mcguire to withdraw Morse's ac-
tors, and 4 contract with him specifying
the support of the whole company,
very excellent one by the way, was made
before ever heard of Morse or his Pas
sion Play. l have no enmity against
that gentleman. My letter was written
in what conceived to be to the interests
of the dramatic art and public morality.
These facts that have stated can east
ly be substantiated."

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Now that it is cur.
rently reported that Gebhardt of New
York city has engaged a suite of rooms
here in one of the hotels during the ap-
pearance of Mrs. Langtry at Haverly's
theater, it might be we'll to inform Geb-
hardtl that there is a young man here
who is determined to cut him out with
the Jersey Lily" when she comes. This
young man, who Is a prominent light"
III the upper tendon of society circles.
has offered to bet $4,000 with we'll
known sporting man, that he would take
Mrs. Langtry out riding alone three
days after her arrival in tho city. The
wager was offered in prominent
down town restaurant, and was over
heard by reporter who had stepped in

the two left the place 0gether to put up
the forfeit.

OF New Jersey, who formerly lived in
New Orleans. 1t Is said that he will
give million dollars under certain con-
ditions. Gibson is much interested, but
cannot be to the extent reported. >
So pronounced are these indications
TO Democrats here from that State, that
members Of the House delegation are
all reported preparing speeches against
the PendietOn bill. They also appear in
full accord with Senator Williams on
the proposition that no Democrat in
Congress can vote for civil service re-
form, and go home and get votes for
himself.
Both members of the subcommittee
that is considering Olmstead's nomina-
ton for District Commissioner deny
the press report that they have agreed
to recommend the nomination to tho
full committee. They will either dis
agree or else report adversely.
Secretary Chandler's estimates for
naval expenditures arc very liberal.
Those are only i'll part due to the propo-
sition to build two new cruisers and tho
completion of four new monitors. These
items only cover $780, 600 of the in
creased estimates, while the total is $27,-
10000. These figures are $l1 zoo, 900
behind the liberal appropriations of last
session.
Friends of the Nicaraguan canal are
here in full force. They feel encouraged
by the fact that Captain Eads has with
drawn his Tehauntepec ship .railroad
scheme from the contest for Congress-
ional approval, and by the absence of
the agents of DeLesseps from the lob
bies of the capitol they seemed to have
gained courage.
