THE poet, Mr.. Steele hackaye, as sn
adept in the selecting OF plot and the con
struction of dramatic situations, received
a new illustration at the Globe Theatre in
the production of his strong and seDss-
tioual drama Of the French revolution,
"Paul Kauvar." Ia every scene Of this
exciting and skillfully-wrought produc-
tion the hand of the accomplished play
writer, familiar with the exiger rcies OF the
stage, ia disclosed. The burden Of the
story is concerned with the secret marriage
between Paul Ksuysr, a revolutionary
lie sder, and Diane de Beaumont, daughter
of royalist duke. Both parties TO this
marriage, as in all such cases, when heart
love and patriotic sentiment conflict, pass
through q series Of startling episodes and
situations. The play is constructed after
the approved French method, with closely
connected scenes and strong presentations
Of cor fiicting emotions in the chief person

WASHINGTON, January 9.-The Smith
jackson contest was argued before the
House Elections Committee to-day. The
Republican majority insisted upon secrecy,
Notwithstanding it has been the rule to
have these arguments in open session. In
reply to the request Of the REGISTER cor
respondent to be admitted, Chairman Row
ell said il was necessary TO limit the num-
Der present, because the ventilation OF the
room was bad. 1t is the same room, that
election contests have been heard in for
years, and this was but pretext, because
the Republicans do not want the public
fully advised Of their methods.
O. o. Cole and J. W. Wilson APP
peared for Smith, and Col. St. Clair
and ex-CongreSsman Harris, Of Vir-
ginis, for Jackson. Though Just out
of sick bed, Col. ST. Clair made
most forcible and exhaustive argument.
He presented the case in an entirely new
light, and il was in the hope that his
points might be suppressed that the Re-
publicans shut the doors upon everybody.
Col. st. Clair showed that Judge jackson
was elected by over fifty plurality Taking
up the attacks upon Governor Wilson,
Col. st. Clair replied TO and repell.
ed them, showing that with the
record evidence before him the
Governor could not do otherwise than he
did. 1. is safe to say that the members OF
the committee at the conclusion OF 81.
Clair's argument regarded the contest from
the Fourth district in a very different light
from that which had impressed some of
them. The Democrats were delighted
with the presentation of their case.
Tomorrow the case of McGinnis against
Alderson will be argued. Mr.. Anderson is
fully prepared and he will make his case 8
revelation to the Republicans. Alderson's
case was chosen by the Democrats ss the
first they would present, because they re-
garded it as embodying strong and conclu-
sive features.
