appropriating one million dollars

After some debate It was amended
so as to give it the form Of a bill.
which was read three times and
passed.
This bill is now being debated
in the House; it having been IA.

Its reference to that committee
oecasioned considerable debate;
there being an effort to refer it to
the committee eli Leyee and Riy-

Hon. j. Floyd King, of Louisiana,
presides. The friends of the ap-
propriation were divided in this
debate, and upon the vote. As
the House rules do not confer the
power of recommending appropri.

think the action of the House in
referring to the River aud IIarbor

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Winning Maggie Mitchell Pleased
Another Large Audience Last
Evening.

AuOluC1 1tSU
Evening.
The enduring and substantial favor ac-
corded Maggie Mitchell by the amusement
patrons of st. Paul, was again manifested
last night by the large and good humored
audience that assembled at the Grand to
witness the beautiful and TO-
mantle play, ''The Pearl Of Savoym
The play differs very materially from most of
the other pieces in which she has been seen
during the present engagement, inasmuch
as it possesses greater Conference as drama
and far more merit by way of plot. The
dramatic requirements call for
sustained effort, and the inter-
est in the performance never flags.
The ''Pearl Of Savoy also affords scope for
the display OF the best talent possessed by
the company, several of the roles requiring
pronounced dramatic ability. In other words
it is not one part play, and this
feature is especially commendable
as the opportunity is utilized to great and
enjoyable advantage by several artists
in the company.
Miss Mitchell impersonated Marie, a role
that calls for display of all her powers
Of versatility. The play opens
with view of her humble
hornew here the auditor is informed of the
conspiracy to effect her ruin. The transition to
decent but still humble and honest compe-
tency in Paris and from there to the CAV
salons of the nobility is rapid. The sup
posed treachery and unfaithfulness of
her aflianced ensues, and from
the light hearted, trustful girl,
Mt viii
jewels the auditor beholds Marie as the in
sane outcast, shrinking from the cruel curse
of her father. The play has a happy finale
in which Marie is restored to her reason vir-
tue is rewarded and all is as merry IS we'd
ding bell.
The role of Marie was marked by the fas-
cinating power characteristic of all of Miss
MitchelPS impersonations. She was by
times the gay-hearted, happy hoyden, the
sincere and trustful sweetheart and last the
distracted, injured, pitiful outcast. Her
versatility was shown throughout
the performance and her art was
never seen to better advantage.
Miss Lillian Andrews, as Chouchou, was
splendid. She enacted the bright, witty
and sprightly danseuse in a manner at once
artistic and captivating. Mr.. Abbott was
fine as Arthur, as he always is, and Mr.
Galloway gave spirited and
very enjoyable performance of Pierrot
Mr.. McClannin is a sterling actor and he
enacted well the role of Commander. As
said the entire cast was very good.
This evening 'Mignon" will be given. 1t
is beautiful play and has not been seen
here before in years.

st. Michaels church fancy fair was brought
to a close last night. There was very little
left to attract crowd except bare tables and
empty booths, nearly everything hav-
ing been sold and removed,
and yet there was goodly
number in attendance up to the very last
moments, the matter of interest being the
voting for the gold watch and other prizes.
The fair has been an eminentlv successful
one, but the managers are not able to say to
what extent the church viii be benefited, be

made their report, but full statement will
be made in SUNDAYS GLOBE, including a
