eILBERT's LATEST.
The Penny in the Slot Joke Set to Gel
lier's Music.

LONDON, January Cat the Lyric
Theatre this week, Mr. w. S. Gilbert's
long-expected opera, "The Mounte-
banks,'' with the late Mr.. Arthur Gel
lier's music, has made its appearance,
produced for the first time. The scene
of this attractive operatic work is laid
in Sicily in the early part of the present
century.
The first act opens with pretty scene
formed of picturesque Sicilian pass, in
which is an inn, and Mount Etna and q
monastery in the distance. A procession
of Dominican monks gravely chanting
the "Miserere'' in Latin is then present.
ed, and the audience is already fayorably
impressed with the opera.
The plot of "The Mountebanks'' may
be said to be built around an old alchem-
list who is hunting for the philosophers s
stone. He finally blows himself up, and
his landlord seizes his belongings for the
rent. Among his effects is mysterious
bottle labeled ''Man is hypocrite and
always pretends to be better than he
really is. The contents of this bottle
will make those who drink what they
pretend to be-" This medicine falls into
the hands of Pietro, the proprietor of a
group of mountebanks. The drinking,
indiscriminately, of this magic potion
causes much fun and arouses roars of
laughter. Pietro (Mr. Lionel Brought,
mixes the magic medicine with wine and
gives some to his two mountebanks, a
clown and dancing girl.
Mr.. Monkhouse plays the showman's S
clown, and Miss Aida Jenoure plays the
dancing girl. They pretend TO do wax
work figures, and accordingly are trans
formed into automatic figures of Hamlet
and Cecilia, respectively, and are worked
on the penny-in-the-slot principle, which
gives rise to number of most laugha-
bic absurdities. They, among other
things, pretend to love each other, and
finally become lovers in reality.
The clockwork figures sing:
Bartolo (the CLOWN )-If our acting is stiff and
crude, do not laugh, because it's rude.
Nita Ga dancing Girl-If our gestures prom
Use larks, do not make unlxind remarks.
Bartol0-ClockwOrk figures may be found
everywhere and all around.
Nita-Ten to one if we but knew, you are
cloekwork figured, too.
Bartolo--And the motto of the lot-put pen
ny in the slot.
Eventually the magic potion has effect
upon the Tamaras, members of a secret
society, whose thirst for blood and re-
venge is caused by the fact that 500 years
ago the brother of the mother of their
ancestors next door 1eighbor was
wrongfully convicted. The Tamaras
capture the monastery and drink of the
wine in which the old alchemist's magic
potion has been mixed, and the robbers
are transformed into monks. After all
sorts of comical complications, the show
manages to untangle everybody tangled,
and everybody is happy.

UNCLE sam LOSES A SHIP.
Cutter Gallatin at the Bottom off the
Massachusetts Coast.
CREW LANDED IN SMALL BOATS
NOTHING WAS SAVED.

The Pilot Lost His Bearings in the Thick
Storm and Ran the Ship on Reef
She Filled in Ten Minutes One Man
Killed-BIaine Vessels in Trouble i'm the
Gale-Rockland Dreading a Lime Fire.
MANCHESTER, Mass, January 6.-The
United States revenue steamer Gallatin
was wrecked at Manchester at Ills this
morning. The Gallatin started from Kit
terry, Me-, this morning, bound across the
bay to Provincetown, with two officers
short. AT $50 she passed the Salvages
in her course South. The patent log was
set at 9.55. The weather became thick
and it soon began to snow. The course
of the vessel was then changed, she in
tending to make Gloucester for harbor.
At 10.45 the vessel took in all sail and
put an extra man on the lockout. At IL,
she made land, which looked like Rock
Island, ahead. Only 12 fathoms of water
being shown, the engine was stopped and
backed. Here the mistake was made.
The pilot took the land to be Kettle Bot
tom island, but, instead, it was Great Egg
Rock. With this wrong idea the boat
started ahead, due east, heading for the
eastern point. At 11.15, the vessel struck
on sunken ledge. The engine was
backed but the vessel was fast She
began pounding heavily and the
captain called to the men to man
the boats.
The ship was rolling heavily and filing
rapidly as the heavy sea had carried
away the sky lights. The smoke stack,
going by the board to starboard, struck
and instantly killed j. jacobson, the car
penter, and carried the body overheard.
The vessel was sinking fast and all hands
took to the three boats. They sighted
land on the port side, pulled in and
reached rocky cove at Eagle Head.
The boats were left on the beach except
one which was carried around to the
west beach on the sand. This boat was
saved. The others drifted off with the
tide.
The officers and crew were wet to the
skin and went Immediately to the house
of j. +. Babcock, where shelter was pro-
vided. The officers were taken to
the Manchester house and the crew

men clinging to her, but lost sight of her
in the binding snow storm.
At 4.30 the storm abated sufficiently t.
sight the vessel, which had broken i'm

standing. The hull was entirely sub
merged. The vessel is total loss Her
officers and crew lost everything, as it
was less than ten minutes from the time
she struck before she filled with water.
The fault seemed to be with the pilot,
in command of Captain Eric Gabrielson,
of Edgartown, Mass. There were on
board nine other officers and 2S seamen.
The vessel was is years old.

Mr.. Morse's amendment was rejected
without division.

Mr.. Milliken of Maine, who favored
speedy action.
After further debate, Mr.. Holman S
motion to strike out the appropriating
clause was agreed to-yeas, 1866; nays, 10.

United States navy had no ships which
could be used, and that the resolution
was now useless, moved to postpone it's
consideration indefinitely. The motion
was agreed to-93 to 81. This is equiva-
lent to the defeat of the measure.

OBITUARY..
James III. Richardson.
Especial to the Press

YARMOUTH, January 7.-Mr. James
III. Richardson of Yarmouth died on the
morning of January 1st, at the Russell
House in Detroit, Mich. The funeral
took place at the residence of his brother
in-law, z. y. Morton, Esq, Broolxline,
Mass, the following Sunday, and was
largely attended by relatives, and old
friends in that vicinity. The floral offer
ings were beautiful and many.
Mrs. Richardson with the remains ar
rived in Yarmouth Monday, and was met
at the depot by many friends, who pro-
ceeded to the Riverside Cemetery where
the burial took place.
Mr.. Richardson was 40 years of age
and was married 23 years ago to Miss
Elizabeth allen of Yarmouth, who sur
wives him.
For many years Mr.. Richardson was a
sufferer from Brights disease, yet so slow
was its manifestations that he was not
aware of it's existence even during it's
later stages. When stricken down in
November last and forced to take to his
bed, his illness was looked upon as
scarcely more than q temporary indis-
position. Only two weeks before his
death, he rallied and appeared to be on
the high road to recovery. Suddenly
evidence of rapid kidney degeneration
supervened with consequent uraemic
poisoning, eliminating in delirium and
death. His many friends in Detroit in
Guiding the firm by which he was en-
ployed did everything in their power to
relieve his sufferings, but to no avail
Mr.. Richardson was for II years one of
the most esteemed employees of the we'll
known house of Parke, Davis & Co., De
troit, and as such was known from the
Great Lakes to the Gulf. He possessed
the rare gift of creating friend in every
acquaintance, and all who ever came in
contact with him, socially or otherwise,
will regret his untimely death.
He was member of the Portland
Yacht Club, and one of the owners of the
fast yacht Vixen, which is one of the
finest yachts that ever sailed out of Port
land harbor. He was also a member of
Cumberland Royal Arch Chapter and
Casco Lodge, F. & A. NJ, of Yarmouth.
Mrs. Richardson, one brother and five
sisters survive him.

ALL SORTS OF RUMoRs
Which the Physicians Promptly Deny
Particulars of the Attack.

WASHINGTON, January 6.-When taken
i'll, today, Mr.. Blaine was engaged in
consultation with Gen. Foster ON recipro-
city matters. DR.. ST. Clair, chief of the
consular bureau, was called in and
found Mr.. Blaine suffering from acute
indigestion. With General Fosters as
sistance, he placed him on the sofa. A
light emetic was given soon after and
the Secretary felt very much relieved.
Medical Director Van Pipen and Surgeon
McClurge of the navy afterwards made
an examination and found little need of
their attention. Dr.. ST. Clair, to allay
any possible irritation of the stomach re-
sulting from excessive vomiting, applied
mustard plaster for a short time. The
Secretary rallied rapidly and
completely, and when DR.,
Hyatt, his family physician, arrived
was strong enough to put on his overcoat
and gloves, walk to the elevator and go
home in carriage, almost as if nothing
had happened. While the Secretary was
lying on the sofa, suffering from the
prostration that followed the vomiting,
Miss Blaine, who had arrived, became
somewhat alarmed and asked DR.. Van
L lpcu IL Blue llttu uOb UObUef SeuQ IOr n0r
mother The physician assured her that
there was notthe slightest occasion for
alarm, and that Mr.. Blaine would be able
to walk home if necessary after q little
rest. When the Secretary left the car
riage he walked into the house. One of
his sons, realizing that his fathers con-
dition was not serious, left soon after
wards for Philadelphia. The President
was not notified of the incident until late
this afternoon. He went to Mr.. Blaine's
house, but did not see him as he was
asleep. The President was informed by
Mrs. Blaine that the Secretary's illness
was only temporary, and that he would
probably be able to return the call to-
morrow.
All sorts of rumors were afoat tonight
in regard to Mr.. Blaine's condition. 1t
was reported he had broken down COM
pletely and was in a most critical state.
Some even asserted that he could not re-
cover. The physicians connected with
the case were interviewed tonight separ-
ately, each without knowing what the
other had said, and asserted positively
that Mr.. Blaine was suffering from indi-
gestion caused by over eating and from
nothing else.

Representative Taylor warned the eau
Gus that it was by a secret ballot that the
Democrats a few years ago nominated
'sCoal Oil Payne' for the United States
Senate, and irretrievably wrecked their
party and doomed themselves to private
life.
Representative McGrew said: "Are we

ity of private life may be our portion, if
we fail to respond to that side which has

TELLER OF SILVER.
He Denies that the Present Law is BIZ
Metallic Measure.

WAsHIN GToN, January 6.-In the Sen
ate today, Mr.. Stewards bill for the free
coinage of gold and silver bullion was
taken up, and Mr.. Morrill, addressed the
Senate in opposition.
Mr.. Teller said the Senator from Yer
mont, as we'll as the President of the
United States, in his annual message,
treated the silver bill of July IA, 1890, as
the work of bi-metallists in Congress-
He denied the assertion. The bin was
the product of a committee deadly hos
tile to bi-metallism. He knew the SEN
ator from Vermont claimed to be BIZ
metallist, as the. President also claimed
to be, but they were bi-metallists Of
the kind, who were always satisfied with
being so in words and never in act. The
act of July, 1890, was not silver act. 1t
was a money act. After quoting from
the Presidents S message to the effect that
the bill had been expected to bring the
price of silver UP to $1.29 per ounce, he
challenged the Executive for proof of
that statement and asserted that only
one Senator (Mr Jones of Nevada) had
intimated that the act of 1890 would
bring silver up to par.
But there was another proposition
OOillllS 1IOlll Illc tAcCutlNS. IL Was UIItU
the UnitedlStates should accumulate all
the gold of the world and then the money
centres of Europe would say they would
join the United States in the work of
using silver money. How was the United
States to accumulate the gold of the
worlds Even when this country had an
abundance of crops and was enjoying
great prosperity gold left the country at
the rate OF a million dollars day. It
was only another makeshift, another
method by which the inevitable should
be delayed, when by law the two metals
would be put together, or else the use of
silver be absolutely abandoned except
for subsidiary coin. What the silver men
wanted was to have the two metals tied
together by law so theywould be on an
equality at ratio to be,established.
Mr.. Dolph had read am extract from a
speech of Mr.. Stewards to THO effect that
the purchase by the government of four
and half million ounces of silver q
month would use all the silver produced
in the United States and would put up
the price of silver to par.
Mr. Stewart admitted that his prophecy
had failed and pleaded that the condi-
tons had changed.
No action was taken on the bill.

DEMOCRATIC PARSlMONY.
1t Forbids Aid to Russia and Does Not
Please Mr.. Breckenridge.

WASHINGTON, January 6.-The Speak
er pro tenn laid before the House today
the Senate joint resolution authorizing
the Secretary of the Navy to transport
contributions for the relief of the suffer-
ing poor of Russia. After some parlia-
mentary skirmishing, the House pro-
ceeded to consider the resolution as in
committee of the whole.
Mr.. Holman of Indiana, moved to
strike out the appropriating clause. He
could see no reason why the United
States should charter ship to transport
provisions contributed by her citizens to
the sufferers in Russia. The Russian
government was amply able to do this
itself.
''Do you want Jones to pay the
freight?'' queried Mr. Boutelle.
Mr.. Herbert of Alabama advocated
Mr.. Holman's motion. He saw no rea-
son why the Democratic House should
pay 800, 900 of the money of the people
of this country to relieve the sorrowing
and sorrowful people of Russia. Russia
was a wealthy country. Why could she
not charter steamers to transport the
generous contributions of the American
people? He did not oppose using a YES
sci of the navy if it could be properly
spared. III
