Raymond & Dadley in the curio hall
have established themselves as favorites
and made an instantaneous hit. In the
theater Sentenced TO Death" is produced
with new scenic effects and new people
The play is strongly sensational and
abounds with startling situations. The
realistic hanging scene is marvellous in Its
effect and creates quite a sensation. 1t is
certainly the strongest play produced in
this house during the season. Il will have
a good run.

WELSH PRIZE SINGERS.

Last night very rneritorious perform
ance was given at the Crawford Grand by
the Welsh Prize Singers. The audience,
while not very large one, was very APP
preciatiye one, almost every number of
the program being greeted with an encore.
The ladies appeared in their national
costumes, and while they may
not have made up so we'll or created so
favorable an impression as the female
members of the opera company; yet they
have sweeter voices and know how TO sing
better than the majority of so called oper-
attic singers. The ladies Quartette. ''Pve
Watched You from the Shore"
made most favorable impression
and on an encore they gave Home, Sweet
Home" The tenor solo of Mr.. BeddOe and
the male quartette were, too, both worthy
of the most favorable mention. \ most
delightful part of the program was the
harp soloes by Mr.. Barker. His perform
ance was encored time after time; in fact
it seemed as though the audience could
not get enough of the sweet, delicious
music. They 60 from here to Newton

j. S. Murphy, as Dan O'Hara, in Mars

fair sized audience at Heuck's, but it is
safe to predict that before the week is out
the house will be crowded. A good play
SO creditably performed as this is always
meets with success at Heuck's and that
Kerry Cow will not prove an exception
is evident from the manner in which the
piece was received last night. Mr.. Murphy
is especially fitted to the character as.
sumed, and is supported by an excellent
company. Miss Virginia Marlowe as Nora
Drew being especially clever. The piece
was beautifully mounted, the scene in the
blacksmith shop with the immense open
doorway, looking out upon the hills and
lakes beyond, was as handsome a set as
was everput upon the stage Of local
theater, and reflects great credit upon the

A MATTER OF STATE PRIDE.
Twatarvflle Mail

1t is a matter of State pride that Mr.. Reed
is not only the ablest man on the Republican
side of the House, but that he has made by
far the ablest speech of this session of Con-
gress.
BUT IT WAS A DAY OF TRIUMPH IN ROME.
boston Transcript, Friday.l
This is day of considerable importance
in Boston. Thousands of people have
looked forward to it for many weeks. Our
ball nine, after a tour through part of the
country, has returned to play its first game
on its own grounds, and the occasion is to
be made one for general celebration in
which the governor, lieutenant governor,
mayor of the city and many other eminent
public officers are to take part, while first
class band of music will discourse patriotic
airs. Who would have ventured to predict
ten years ago that such a celebration was
coming and that in addition to the presence
of so many distinguished men there would
be attractions in tie way Of $4,000 grand
stand and two players whose services were
secured at an outlay of $4,000? The events
of to-day show what firm hold the national
game mas upon the interest of the people.
The scenes at the South End this afternoon.
although not exactly repetition Of those in
the days of the old Romans, will, neverthe-
less, probably bring the ancient amuse-
ments to the mind of more than one Specta-
tor-especially to those whose imagination
likens the grand stand to the amphitheatre
of long ago, and the attendance of the State
and city magistrates to the attendance of the
Roman emperors at the sports in the arena.

The Democrats and the Treaty.

The performance of the Democratic Sena-
tors in filibustering to prevent the discus
sion of the fishery treaty in open session, is
unaccountable except upon the assumption
that the measure is so weak that it cannot
stand discussion. Certainly did the Demo-
cratic Senators believe that it was a wise
and fair settlement of the fishery dispute,
did they agree with the Maine Democracy
In the matter they would be only too glad to
have the discussion public that they might
exploit it. advantages and point to it with
pride as one Of the great triumphs of this
Democratic administration. A while ago
they professed to be anxious for such dis
cussion. The administration was said to
wish it, and the Democratic press all over
the country we're clamoring loudly for open
sessions on this matter. Now. however, all
is changed. The Republicans offer open
sessions, they offer the Democrats an oppor-
tuRity to point out to the country the beau
ties Of the administrations browning piece
of diplomacy. But the Democrats not only
decline, they fight with all the parliamentary
weapons at their command against being
compelled to accept What has come over
themp Have they studied the treaty more
carefully and discovered that their first inn
pressions in regard to it were incorrect or
was their clamor for open sessions and an
opportunity to discuss the treaty In public
mere buncombe, which they thought they
could safely indulge in because they felt
sure that the Senators were In general OPP

The Democratic convention to nominate
q candidate for Congress will be held tonor-
row. 1t is generally expected that the Hon.
William ii. Clifford will carry off the honor.
principally for the reason that nobody else is
anxious for it. Mr.. Clifford has twice already
demonstrated his inability to convince the
voters of this district that they want him to
represent them on the floor of the House.
That would satisfy most men. But hope
springs eternal in Mr.. Clifford's breast and he
wants an opportunity to try again. He win
probably get it. and if he does, no doubt he
will third time demonstrate his inability.
We imagine that the older and shrewder
heads among the Democrats of the First Dis
trict look upon these demonstrations of Mr..
Clifford with great complacency. If ever
the day comes when the Democrats have any
chance of carrying this district dashing Har-
ry's record of three defeats will be promptly
brought forward to kill his chances of a
nomination. What the Democrats are doing
now is permitting him to exhaust his politi-
cal life. IT is performance from which
both he and they seem to derive great salts

mess of Devonshire.

The approaching election in Oregon will
determine whether the next United States
Senator from that State shall be Republic
can as at present, or Democrat as the Cleye-
land administration wishes. Remembering
how close is the present division of the par
ties in the Senate. the following from the
Portland Oregonian, paper Of Independent
tendencies, is worthy of attention:
"Never before in Oregon; never, perhaps, be
fore in any State has there been witnessed 50 open
and direct interference by the administration at
Washington in any political canvass as is wit
messed in Oregon now. 80 The great prize that
the administration wants TO obtain is the United
States Senator. This is the principal cause OF the
unprecedented interference In the political affairs
of State. II the administration can get the Ore
gon Senator now to be elected, 1t viii control the
United States Senate. And 1t will employ great
deal OF effort and spend great deal of money In
Oregon in the hope OF carrying the State, so as to
give the ref0rmer at the head of the administra-
ton good send-0if in the first important election
Of the present year."
June 4th is election day in Oregon, and the
election will be one of the most important
of the year.

posed to open sessions and would refuse to
make an exception in the case of this fishery
treaty? Probably the latter, for the treaty
was so obviously inadequate to secure the
rights which our fishermen had claimed and
which the Senate had claimed for them, that
they could never have been mistaken in re-
gard to it. Their idea doubtless was that by
appearing to be anxious to discuss the treaty
in open session they could make little po-
litical capital That they never wanted to
discuss 1t in public, that they never meant
to if they could help it, is shown clearly
enough by their resort to flibustering to
nrevpnt IT,

The success of Mrs Evans, wife of the
Liberal candidate for Parliament in South
ampton, in conducting the canvass in the
absence of her husband, has caused consid-
cradle comment, and the Boston Transcript
declares that Massachusetts, women succeed
equally we'll in politics. as has been proved
in number of holly contested fights in the
Legislature particularly in the Beverly
Farms question. Nor Is the success Of
women in politics anything new. The his
torian Macaulay, in his famous description
of the trial of Warren Hastings, gives special
ention to ''the ladies whose lips, more PEI
We than Fox himself, had carried the

AS the season approaches for the begin
ming of the fishing on the coasts OF the Prov
inces, the fishermen of the Provinces are
considering the advantages which they
think they have obtained as a result of the
negotiations recently finished at Washing
ton, They are assuming that the license
system will be in operation under the modus
UiUendi clauses of the protocol. Under this
arrangement United States fishing vessels
may on the payment of an annual fee of
S1.50 per ton obtain the privilege of entering
Canadian bays and harbors for the purchase
of bait, ice, seines, lines and other supplies
and outfits. and also for the transshipment Of
catch and shipping of crews. To what ex-
tent this license system will be in operation
will depend wholly on the American fisher
men themselves. II they refuse to take out
licenses they will derive no advantage from
the modus uiuendi, and will be in substan-
TALLY the same situation that they were in
last season and the season before; if they
do take out licenses they will in all proba-
bility derive no advantage from this alterna-
tive either, since the cost of the licences is
fixed at well nigh ruinous rate. In short,
the naodus riUendi does not mean way Of
living to the American fishermen. But
we judge that the tsrm means some
thing to the Canadians. A leading New
Brunswick paper of recent date
declares that if the Americans take
out licenses the Canadian fisherman
will have the advantage of the Canadian
base of supplies free Of tax, which with the
privilege of the inshore fishing will enable
him to deliver his fish in tho American
market with as good profit as the Glouces-
ter men, while he will continue to monopo-
lie the Canadian market, and will be at
considerable advantage competing for the
West Indies, South American and European
trade In other words the Canadians OBJ
serve that the effect Of the m0dus Uirendi
would be, If lived up to, to grind the Ameri-
can fisherman down with tonnage tax,
while his Canadian rival would possess the
fish markets of the world. Fortunately
there is no law to compel the American fish
erman to pay the tonnage tax.

The Dakota Republicans have chosen ten
delegates to the Republican National con-
vention, although the custom is to allow the
territories but two delegates each. The
Republicans of Dakota think their wrongs at
the hands of the Democrats in Congress en-
title them to special consideration, and take
this way to obtain it, The Republican party,
however, is already doing all it can for
Dakota and the presence of the ten delegates
at Chicago is not needed to stimulate it to
greater activity.
