Richmond Theatre.

Rip Van Winkle was presented last night
at the Theatre before a fine audience and
was received with great appreciation. Ii
has been said that in the conception Of the
character the difference between the two
who have immortalized the dramatization
of Irying's story is that whereas jefferson
gives the ideal Rip Van Winkle. Nc
Wade gives the realistic presentation Of
the character. Be this as II may, the per-
formance of last night was sufficiently real
istic to make it felt that the bond-fde Rip
Van Winkle was no ideal parsonage; that
he was personally there ON the Catskill
mountains; that the bones of his little
dog Schneider lay there before him, and
his gun was O wreck. In short, Mr.. Nc
Wade's version and presentation of the
story bring out quite clearly its pathos and
beauty.
The play will be given again tonight
and at the matinee and night tomorrow.

IovroS, Exc, April Elm the House of
Commons to-day Henry Labouchere moved
reduction Of the item of c10,0O0 for the
maintenance and repair of Kensington
Palace on the ground that the palace was
utterly useless and that the country would
be the better without il. Labouchere also
moved to strike out the item appropriating
1926 for the maintenance and repair OF
keW Palace, saying that not only was that
palace also useless. but that nobody knew
where Kew Palace was OF who lived there.
SIR George Irevelyan opposed the mo-
tons, saying that both kensington Palace
and Kew Palace were historical monu-
mcnts IN which considerable interest was
centred. MIR. Iabouchere's motions were
rejected by vote of 40 TO 81.
Mr. Samuel Banks Waddy (Gladstonean)
then moved TO reduce the item appropri-
etng u sum of money for the maintenance
and repair Of Bushey House. which, he
said, was occupied by the Duke of Ne

thar is was a monstrous state OF affairs
which permitted the Duke of Nemours to
occupy Bushey House at the expense OF

that the Queen was privileged 70 allot

eURoP5's WHEAT CROPS.
A Failure--England's Hope of Removing
American Competition.

American COmpetittons
fBv Anglo-American cable to the Dispatch.l
Ioypoy, April 6.-The Standard to-day
puhlishes a long and careful review of the
s,rcultural outlook, in the course of
which IL saws that the steady rise IN wheat
reyives the hopes of the English farmer,
adding that wheat Will probably reach the
highest price IN many years, the principal
cause Of the rise being the failure Of for
eICn crops.
Tbe wheat crops of France and Russia.
according 10 the Standard, are much below
the average, and the same paper says the
deficiency will be at least 10000 quarters,
adding that il is expected that cold winds
audfrOsts have almost destroyed the French
crops. Germany, Holland, and Belgium
all furnish pessimistic reports. In Rou-
mania there is "a decreased wheat area, and
IN India there has been bad wheat sea-
son.
The only exception is Hungary, where
there are better prospects, but IL is almost
certain that the worlds wheat consump-
ton will exceed the production computed.
Whatever the magnitude of Americas crop
NAV be 1t will not be sufficient to cover the
European deficit, thus compelling an ex-
tenslve draft upon reserves for the third
year IN succession.
The Standard. In conclusion, says: The
increased home consumption. the de-
creased wheat area, owing TO the spread OF
population and recourse to scientific TIL
aso n order 10 repair the waste OF hrst,set-
tiers. thus increasing the cost OF produc-
ton. must inevitably remove the American
farmers formidable competition in Euro
pean markets and allow the English farm

Charaeter of the Memorial.

At intervals for some years the matter OF
erecting monument TO tho memory Oh
General A. p. Hill has been agitsted.
In 1887 the Pegram Battalion Association
took the first practical step 10 that direc-
ton By subscribing as anucleus OK monu-
ment-funi the sam of twenty-five dollars

survivors OF the command tor the purpose
of placing in Lee Camp Soldiers Home

THE MONUMENT ASSOCIATION.
In the hands of the treasurer Of the as
sociatiop. Captain Thomas Elicit, TINS
fund grew. vet very slowly. Recently.
however, interest in the subject revived,
and now il can be announced that an A. Z.
Hill monument of imposing proportions Is
q certainty of the near future.
Last night number of gentlemen VINO
served in Hills corps met st the residence
of Major Lewis Ginter, on west Franklin AT,
street, organized Q permanent a. X. hiii
Monument Association, and decided 70 ap-
ply for charter of incorporation.
Plans for the monument were accepted
and the funds for its erection guaranteed.
LOCATION AND DESIGN.
The monument will be located at the in
tersection of the Hermitage road and La
burnum avenue, each OF which is 100 feett
WIDE and affords magnificent vista, and
will consist of pedestal work OF solid and
striking architectural design, surmounted
by bronze statue Of General Hill Of heroic
size. The structure will be thirty-two feet
in height. The general effect will be pyra-
midal. taking the angle from outlying bas-
tions SIX feet high.
THE LOCATION CHANGED.
When the movement was first started It
was designed 10 place. the monument over
the grave of General Hill in Hollywood,
but some months ago the question was
broached of putting IL upon the site de,
cided upon last night-a very beautiful
one at the corner nearest the city of Major
Ginter's country place.
The matter Is now positively. settled.
The money has been all raised and the site
fixed beyond question.
