Imre Kiralfy's famous old spectacular
and dramatic play "LaglTdere" came to
us last night like noble wine enriched with
aye. The magnificent way in which it
was presented TO Oh City would have
done credit to any metropolitan theatre.
A large audience witnessed it, and even
went so far as to applaud the fc9nery, &c
really magnificent and beautiful it Tss.
Often our audiences are compelled tn
sire tch their imagin stioDs to wonderful
degree in order to supply deficiencies in
scenery and costuming. But last night
the chain of tbs story had no imperfect
links, ard between the acting and the re-
aliy there was but step.
The play is entirely different from any
presented to us heretofore, and those in
other cities who, like we, have become
tired Of a ssmeness will find something re-
freshipg in "Lagsrdtre." Captain HenIi

Special Ttl0rGH 10 he Register.
WASHINGTON, D. @, November ~
All the Democratic Representatives fcOm
West Virginia have been telegraphed urg-
ing them to be present at the caucus to-
morrow night. Word is received that
they will,arrive tomorrow. Indications
are that the Republican extremists will
not succeed 10 dragOoning their party into
an attempt to override law and precedent
in the effort to seat several contestants.
Tne Democrats, however, will be prepared
for any move. They will present a solid
front in resisting any and every assault
upon their rights. Since the enactment OF
the Law making it the Clerks duty to pre-
pare the roll, Republicans, as well as Dem
Ocrats, have uniformly resisted all effJrts
to invalidate that roll. Some of the pres
ent Republican Congressman are on record
as maintaining the inYiOlsbility of certifi-
Gates of election from State Governors.
MCKINLEY AGAINST IT.
Mckinley for one is opposed to any at
tempt TO ignore or over ride Governor
Wilson'S certificates. He had a confer
ence to day with Mcpherson, who was
msny years Republican clerk of the
House and may be elected this time. Nc
PhersOn stated that under existing law
and precedents it would be revolutionary
ia character, and his advice will
be accepted despite the clamOrs
Of few Republicans TO obtain
seats to which they were nos elected. Nc
Kinley is not alone by any means in op-
posing this revolutionary scheme. The
wisest and ablest Republican leaders agree
with him and the chances are that no at
tempt to seat Republican contestants will
be made now.

The Maine Man Helped to Victory by All
the Bosses.
WASHINGTON, November 2S. -Notwith-
standing the vigorous assaults that have
been made on Reed, his lines are apparent
ly uushaken. He will get all of New York
except Flood, who is a "kicker." He will
get nearly all OF tbs Pennsylvania vote, al
though five were promised to Mckinley
last spring, namely, Kelley, Harmer, o.
borne, Scull and Yardley. Kelley hAs an
nounced himself for Reed sincs the sp
pointment of his man Shellmire to be pen
sion agent, through the inAusnce Of Ssna-
tor Quay.
Nearly everybody looks for Reed to win,
and it would rot be surprising if he went
through without a struggle, Outside Of
Reed, Mckinley is the second man, but
he does not appear to be gathering
strength On the contrary, Quay and
Tom Platt are pulling his support to
pieces. Tbere seems to be but one possi-
bility for the defelt Of Reed, and that is
the concentration Of Western forces on a
sectional issue. In that event it will be
either Burrows or Henderson.
The clerkship is practically settled in
favor of Edward Mcpherson. Mr.. Carson
said to-day that tina mailed hand, mean
ING Quay, had been laid heavily upon
him, and thus he virtually admitted his
defeat. In regard to the other offices lit
tie interest ia manifested.

the other miners that they de-

those still in want. They are afraid that
if they sre found distributing relief, they
will also he told to leave. Distress will
last at least until midwinter, as the
mines are ready for only few men and
the heads of many families are
away looking for work. November
earnings will be small and not paid until
the middle of December. Relief will be
needed, but the union baI been broken mp
and the miners do not dare form another

The letter is as follows:
WHEELING. W. VA, November 26.
DEAR SIR:-Having read the papers in
reference 10 my alleged treachery to the
Brotherhood, would like TO lay the facts
in the case before the public, through your
agency, to show that the blame does not
rest on me entirely.
On the evening of the 18th OF last Sep
tember the New York and Indianapolis
players met at Dick Engel's, and held q
meeting for the purpose ef signing this
agreement. 1t was read by Mr.. Ward,
and he asked as 10 sigu it. Denny and
objected to signing any such article, as
We understood it, 1t required me to play
ball in Biooklyn for the same salary as !
received at Indianapolis. l told them /
would not sligo any such agreement, and
that caused a kick, Denny siding with me.
Ward said he did not care whether any
player signed it or not, he would, and
followed il by signing. Buck Ewing and
johnson talked to me about it, and said
the agreement
WAS ONLY A FORM

should make terms satisfactory. l signed
on that understanding, but with the con-
dition emphatically stated that was to
better my condition.

il wss not fully filled out There was no
party of the first part and had signed it
that blank could have been filed out 20
as to make me play anywhere. Then
sgain it was for term of three years and
the consideration named was So, coo per
year, which l might get if the club he'd
good luck, as the contract stated that the
players salary was to be paid out of the
net earnings. l think l would be very
foolish 10 90 with the Brotherhood for less
money than have been getting and with
out any certainty Of getting even that. l
cannot sacriice my prospects and run the
risk OF iDiuriug my family just TO accom-
modate Ward and others. think have
TAKEN THE RIGHT STEP
in this matter; II I am wrong will be the
loser. defy Messrs. Al. johnson and
Ewing to deny that Denny and | signed
that agreement on any conditions other
than have stated. The objects of the
Brotherhood, as l understand them, were
to enable the players to batter their cOndi-
tiOn financially, the abolition Of the sales
system and the doing away with classii
cation.
As the Brotherhood called for me to
play ball anywhere for less than got last
year, and as was practically classified by
Mr.. Ward and held for term of three
years, wherein was 20 better my condi-
tiOn, and wherein DO the new system
improve on the old one?
Hoping have not taken mp too much
of your time and that you will help place
me in a right light before the public,

OTTAWA, November 2S.-An idea of
how strongly public feeling is running in
the direction of Canadian independence
in the maratime provinces of the Do.
minion may be gathered from the fol-
lowing criticism of the Eastern ChrOn-
icle, an influential newspaper, on
the proposal to hoist the Canadian flag on
oil the public buildings in Canada. The
Chronicle says;
"What good ia the Canadian flag? 1t is
not recognized by any nation on earth. 1t
has no place among the flags of the nations
of the world, and would be no more pro-
lection TO man than one of printed cot
ton. Why, then, should our children be
taught to place confidence in flag that
can give them no protection when they
leave their homes? If Canada is ambitious
of having flag worth baubee let her
strike out for herself among the nations Of
the world. Until she has the courage to
do so, for goodness sake let up on the flag
business"
