Natural Gas" musical farce-comedy,
! was thoroughly enjoyed by large and
Representative audience last night. But
Few seats were left unoccupied either up
or down stairs. Donnelly and Girard and
their people certainly scored success If
continuous laughter interrupted with pro-
Qonged applause be the tests OF popularity.
Without plot, the play is a string OF anus
6ng absurdities. There were new songs
pnd dances, old gags coupled with new
bnes, wit and humor, good-looking and
lively lot OF maidens-all nicely costumed,
ind they made Natural Gas ''go"
Rom the start, keeping the fun fast and
hnnier to the close. The trio-Donnelly
s Christopher Bluff, Girard as
policeman O'Rourke, and Jennie Sat-
ferlee rs Kitty Malone, are strong at
fractions, and are supplemented and as.
sisted by other good people-Jennie Yea
mans as Jimpsy, Ethel Carette as
Daisy, Fannie Johnson as Flossie, all
OF whom are clever and bright per-
formers. The other roles were taken as
follows Katrina, Josie sadler; Tilie,
Marie Horribly; Galatea, Lea Raymond;
Helen, Mamie sherwood; Nois L. Howell,
Mack Sullivan; Ginger Whipsaw, Ben
Collins; johnson Doodle, S. W. Keene;
and Bobby, by Joseph jackson. "Natu-
raj Gas" will be turned loose again to-
night, at the matinee on tomorrow, and
for the last time tomorrow night, which
will close the engagement. You can cure

Icy by attending the performance.

The conflict in the Unitea States SEN
ate relative to the debate upon the
fisheries treaty appears to have been
Qnieted ana the debate will progress. A
Washington correspondent writes under
date OF the 18th:
The democrats have decided to sur
render in the matter of the fishery treaty.
Senator Hoar said tonight that he
thought she entire fishery matter would
be disposed OF in about two days more
OF debate. After the statement OF MIR.
Morgan in the senate the other day that
the treaty could not be disposed of at
this session Mr.. Frye went to Mr.. Nor
gan and stated that il the democrats
really insisted that there must be re-.
publican quorum to act upon the treaty
that the republicans would make it their
frs business to get republican quorum.
Mr.. Morgan thereupon consulted with
Mr.. Vest, and MIR. Frye was subsequent
ly informed that the democrats had de-.
cided not to obstruct, that they would
insist that all democrats who desired
should have ON opportunity TO debate;
that they would maintain their pairs.
end that when the debate was exhausted
vote might be taken To-day Mr.. Gall
spoke In favor Of the ratification OF the
treaty. He was followed by Mr.. Hoar,

Monday afternoon In the house Oon-
gressman Lyman, of Iowa, forced the
democrats to take up and pass the bill
for increasing the pensions for utter
deafness to $50 month. When the bill
passed Chairman Mstson for the COM
mittee on invalid pensions, who is the
democratic candidate for governor of
Indiana, held the floor and the republl-
cans demanded OF him while he had the
opportunity to call up the dependent
the arrearages and other general pension
bills and put them upon their passage.
Matson was in very embarrassing
situation. He has been claiming to be
the soldiers friend and eager to secure
pension legislation. He is conducting
his campaign on the pension issue but
he refused this afternoon to embrace an
opportunity aud he is now recorded with
his party in opposition to general pen
sion legislation.
