WANG" NEXT.
This Popular Opera VIII Be Here
Next Week.

The attractions booked for the Metro

mencing Monday, Jan. 8, are Edwin
Stevens in the successful opera wang"
for the first half of the week, and Frank
Daniels in q new edition of Little
Puc1' for the latter part of the week.
wang" is one of the most successful
operas that has ever been written, and
has played to more money throughout
this country than any similar produc-
ton of this kind. Edwin Stevens in the
title role has scored an artistic triumph.
Miss Virginia Earle as Mataya, the part
originated by Della Fox, is said to
give rendition of the part on
par with Miss Fox. The other primer
pals of the cast are Joseph Greensfel-
der, Frank Casey, Miss Ethel Lynton,
Miss Florence Drake and Miss Analee
DeKalb. 1t having been a long time
since any operas have been seen in this
city Wang" will probably test the ca
pacity of the Metropolitan opera house
the same as when presented about two
years ago. The sale of seats begins at
the box Office for this engagement next
Thursday morning.
Frank Daniels new edition of Little
Puck" is said to be the best that that

WILSON HARD AT WORK
LOOKING UP DATA F0R MS THRIFT.
SPEECH.
CONDITION OF THE TREASURY

Discussed, and What Is Best to Do
i. to Relieve It - The Condition
I. Serious, but Uncle Sam Able to,
HI Take Care of His Obligations
Shortness OF Available Cash
Ii the Only Trouble. -
Fl WASHINGTON. Dec. 80. Chairman
Wilson, of the ways and means commit
tee, Is looking up data for his tariff
speech. Representative Whiting. who
is member of the ways: and means
committee, was also at the capitol, and
there was some talk OH the present con-
dition of the treasury, and what should
be done to relieve it. AS anything that
might he done in congress would have
to come before the ways and means
committee, MIR. Wilson was rather ret
icent, and when questioned regarding
the treasury's condition and the rem
edy, replied: j.
1--WE have nothing before u.s."
''Do YOU regard the condition of the
treasury as serious?" he was asked.
''Oh, yes, there can be no doubt as to
that. but the United States Is able to
take cara of its obligations. 1t is not
the gold balance, which is below $780,
100000, that need disturb US, but the
shortnesS of the available cash to pay
obligations"
"The remedy is easy" said Mr.. Whit
ing when his opinion was asked. 1.-The
government could issue $50, 600, 900, or
such other amount as was necessary. of
legal tender treasury notes. redeemable
in gold. 1t would be the most popular
thing the government could do. Of
course, not being interest bearing, it
would be called imitation. If we issued
the same amount of Understanding
notes or bonds, it would suit large
class and be neralded as legitimate
transaction. The banks want bonds"
But if the bonds were issued in
small denominations" said Mr.. Wilson,
$50 that any person could take them
who had small amounts to invest, there
is no doubt that large proportion
would be. taken by small holders"
''Such bonds would ultimately get
into the banks" replied Mr.. Whiting.
''The small holder would pay the m er-
chant. and he would pay the banker"
Mr.. Wilson would not indicate what
would be done, nor would he say in adj
vance of the next meeting of the COM
mittees whether it would be necessary
to have further Communication from
the secretary of the treasury than the
suggestions carried in the annual re-
port. Mr.. Whiting said he thought
bonds would be issued. and that con-
gress would authorize the secretary to
issue bonds, as suggested i'll the annual
report.
Mr.. Wilson was asked If the new
tariff bill would make the balance of
trade against this country SO large as to
disturb the gold balances and make the
demand on the reserve so great as to
cause any apprehension concerning it.
He replied that any ten years of the
country's history would show that the
balance of trade ran abont even.
ut is matter of barter anyway" he
added. 1.-The balances are not paid in
gold, but in exchange. There need be
no apprehension of depletion of the gold
reserve.,' 81
Mr. Whiting was Of the opinion that
the matter would be brought up in con-
gress by the introduction of bill. which
would be referred to the ways and
means committee for action.

GETS HER DECREE.
Mrs. Irvine Wins in Her Suit for
Divorce

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. 3d.
The arguments in the Irvine divorce
case closed today. and Judge Zane
awarded Mrs. Irvine decree. He COM
mented severely upon Irvine's having
killed Montgomery without giving him
a chance to explain or defend himself.
No one but coward would have been
guilty of such an act, he said. He also
severely criticised the manner in which
Irvine got the Omaha confession. He
believed that Mrs. Irvine's actions at
the Wellington hotel in the famous in
teryleWS between herself and husband
showed her innocence, as she refused to
admit her guilt. even when threatened
with death. In conclusion, it was held
that the charge against the woman had
not been proven, but that her charge of
cruelty against her husband had been
fully substantlated. The court granted
her decree on that ground, and award
ed to her the custody OF the nine-year-
old daughter, with all costs incurred IN
the suit. The amount of alimony and
attorneys fees will be decided upon
next Tuesday.

The Life of Bomberger During

! GRAND Forks, N. D., Dec. 3O.-The
day that is to witness the ringing down
of the curtain in the last act of the
drama III which Albert F. Bomberger is
playing the leading part is fast drawing
near, and preparations for the execution
have commenced. Nineteen days after
the new year is ushered in the muir;
derer will have gone to his reward from
a scaffold erected not far from the scene
of his crime
A reporter for the Grand Forks Plain
dealer called OH him recently and;
talked about his coming fate.
"How do feel?'' he repeated, in an:
swer to a question. II cannot describe
the feelings that come over me when

myself on the bed and think. and when
come to that never fail to believe and
feel that there is truly hell upon

AS he repeated the words he arose
from the cot and paced restlessly to and
fro. finally stopping at the window and
looking out upon the street. In a mo-
ment he returned and sat down on the
cot. and, turning to the reporter, said.

Breckenridge, eldest son of Col. w. c.
P. Breckenridge, when asked about
blocking Miss Pollard in her efforts to
find testimony in Cincinnati in her
favor, as has been stated, said:
II went to Cincinnati simply to learn
who the persons are whom Miss Pollard
connects with the case against my
father. only wanted to find out the
truth of her assertions. l found them
to be tissue of lies, and she will surely
be unable to prove any of them"
Asked If he would outline what he
discovered there, young Breckinridge
replied:
II hardly think it worth while, but
Miss Pollard says OH the 1st of April,
1885, she went to the founding asylum
at Norwood under the name of Louise
Wilson. The mother superior says that
she was not there, and she is not regis
tered. The other charges seem to be OF
the same groundless character. No. l
never attempted to keep Miss Pollard
from obtaining evidence, for If her
charges are true she will have no trouble
about that. The girls mother does not
claim that her daughter is worthy of
much consideration, and thinks her con-
duct ineXcuSable."

MAY FiLIBUSTER.
Republican Senators May Delay
the Tariff Bill

Republican Senators May Delay
the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator ALI
son, in brief conversation, today said
there was little or no doubt that the
senate committee on finance, of which
the senator is prominent member,
would grant hearings to Interests af-
fected by the tariff bill when that meas
ure reaches the senate, where demanded
by persons representing sufficiently i'm
portant interests to consistently demand
the attention of the committee. He said
also that the committee was very hope
tul OF securing many replies to the cir
cular letters of inquiry, which were
being sent broadcast aver the land, and
he thinks these replies will furnish
many valuable suggestions to the men,
bers of the committee. The opinion is
gaining ground steadily that the senate
will be deliberate in its treatment of
the bill.
1t was at first said that the Republican
senators would not attempt to delay
passage, but after expressing their dis
approval in brief debate would permit
it to go to vote. 1t does not appear as
yet that there will be any organized
opposition for the purpose of delay
merely, but that there will be such Or
ganization is becoming evident if it
should become possible that by it the
defeat of the bill could be accom-
pliShed.
There are increasing indications that
the passage of the bill in the senate
may not be as certain as was supp osed
before IT was put into shape, and there
are senators who say openly that If the
bill should pass the house unchanged
and be reported from the senate finance
committee in the same condition, it
could not pass the senate i'll that shape
in any event. There are many items
upon which the Democrats could not
muster majority, and which will prob
ably be defeated by combination
with the Republicans, If they cannot
be changed in committee.
