WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O-The secont
phase of the Bering Sea arbitration ha,
been passed in safety, and closed yesterday
with an exchange of cases between the
agents of the principals. The preparation
of the original case for the United Statei
has largely engaged the attention
Secretary j. w. Foster. II embodies {
most minute historical collation. of all the
facts connected with the Russian ownership
of Alaska, so far as they bear upon the
question of maritime jurisdiction in Bering
Sea and control of the seal fisheries. There
is also an exhaustive analysis of the cor.
respondence early in the present century
between the Governments of Great Britain
and Russia, touching the question of juris-
diction; a recital of the Russian ukase,
reserving the waters of Bering Sea for the
exclusive use of Russian fishermen and
sealers, and strong argument to show that
the entire right of jurisdiction asserted by
Russia was acquired by the United Slater
under the terms of the treaty of cessiQi
negotiated by Secretary Seward in 1867.
All the ammunition is not exhausted, ,ye
it may safely be assumed that the repre-.
sentatives of the United States have re-
served sufficient material to enable them to
make q strong counter case. This will be
the next or third phase of the arbitration.
Senator Morgan, the only one of the two
United States arbitrators now in this coun-
try, has been supplied with copy of the
British case, and the representatives of the
United States Government have already
begun to scrutinize the documents with a
view to preparing the counter case, or reply
as it may be termed, and this latter work is
likely to occupy their attention for many
weeks

Forepaugh's Circus Is H.r..

On Monday and Tuesday Forepaugh's cir.
Gus viii be In Allegheny at the &C customed
stand The quality of the circus is attested
by its Endorsements in the Eastern papers,
the following being a very few brief ex-
tracts from an extensive notice in the
Boston daily Ne,rs:
"The Forepaugh show opens with The
Fall of Nineveh.' by far the best yet OF the
circus shows. 1t equals The Fall of Babylon,
and exceeds The Fall of Pompeii,' which
were stationary exhibitions. The ballet is
superior to the much advertised spectacular
productions given in theaters. The Fall of
Nineveh' has plot telling of the prophecy
of the destruction OF the City of Jonah, the
attack and victory of Sardanapalus, his
triumphal procession, chariot and horse
races in his honor, an Oriental slave market
and other things. The circus proper, which
follows. is bewildering enough. There are
three rings and two stages, and to keep
ones eyes open for the Dest thing going on
keeps one busy, as something is going on in
every one Of them nearly all the time. Then
comes tie hippodrome races, which are e1-
citing enough"

All or in n Bunch,

The first week of the season, as It may be
Justly called, has ended without dazzling
the eyes or over-taxing the receptive facili-
ties OF any theater-goers. Hit is true that
no very brilliant theatrical animals were
entered for last weeks handicap, tho the
aters can with one exception congratulate
themselves upon getting away together or
course it may be urged that Mr.. Keene
should not be included as an element of
mediocre mass and 1t is only right to admit
that the tragedian is in himself a consider
able power for artistic work. He, however,
clouds his own brilliancy and disfgures the
superb dramas which his repertoire includes
by entrusting important roles to actors of
small ability and experience. There was
hardly per ormance last week at the Du-
or less marred by the incom.
support. 1 do not call attention to this fact
W fth the least desire to injure Mr.. Keene,
but rather with the faint hope that it may,
with the accumulation of protests which is
sure to pile up in his path as he proceeds,
induce him to consider how serious a mis-
take he is making in not employing actors
of ability to assist him in his laudabie un-
the public. MIR. Keene is undoubtedly
good enough actor to excite far wider and
more appreciative interest than he now
does, If people were not frightened away
from him by reports of the meager char
acter of much of his support or course,
Mr.. Keene knows his own business best, and
will make good living no doubt going on
that he would make twice as much money
and find twice as much pleasure in his pro-
fession If he aimed a little higher in his pro-
ductions.

One Of the novelties OF the season that has
lust begun will be produced at this house
this week in the shape of Larry the Lord"
an operatic comedy written by Messrs. Scott
marble and Fred Maer. 1t is said, and to
some extent the Eastern press has borne out
the assertion, that the comedy is a most
amusing one, and it does seem probable to
expect that piece in which so good a come
dian as r. E. Graham is the chief figure will
be full of laughter, at least Mr.. Graham is
a quaint and original comedian, whose meth
ods are the most legitimate, think, OF any
of the actors who have made the humorous
side of comic opera a specially. He is said
to have in this new piece just the sort of
character which suited him. But the play
is said to be just as strong in its musical
numbers as in any thing else, and one of the
vocal features of which much is expected is
the new Il opical song composed By Mr.. Gra-
ham, which will be sung by him. The COM
pany supporting Mr.. Graham includes a
number of good actors, including Miss
Homie Weldon, The costumes provided are
said to be marvels in their way, and the
scenery contains some novel electrical ef.
fects as well as general spectacular beauty.
Altogher, 1t seems fair to say that Larry
the Lord" has an inviting appearance.

Native Merit is Appreciated.

Mr.. Mansfield has a clever article in the
North american Rcutew but as usual this
eccentric hctor depends more upon a smart
appearance than substance of truth. He
says. among other things, that the native
American actor has no show here, being
crowded out by the foreign imported article.
The New York Mirror properly calls atten-
tion 70 the inaccuracy of this statement
The reverse of what Mr.. Mansfield says is
getting to be so we'll understood as a truth
on the other side that this season we shall
have less foreign talent within our borders
than for many years past. Ibelieve that the
public, that Is, / mean, the mass OF theater-
goers who really make an actors success
In this country, is absolutely impartial
about nationality, providing only that
the English language is spoken. A
good actor, no matter where he was born,
secures an audience as soon as he demon
strates that he can act. and have play
