Tho story nf -

Tho story Of "Gismonda" is not elabo-
rate. Tho heroine Is n widow and the
Duchess of Athens. Noble suitors seek
her hand. She tells them that she will
wed tho man who performs tho most val
orous decd. Her little boy is dropped by
the sub-villain into a dry well which Is
tho temporary abode OF n captured tiger.
This scene is most intense. Gismonda Is
frantic, and in her despair takes an oath
ut the foot of the cross that she will bc-
come tho wife of the man who will rescue
her child. The baruns stand aghast. AL
mcrio, falconcr, jumps into the well,
kills the tiger and rcscues the embryo
duke.
Gismonda rcpents of her oath and tries
to bribc AlmcTio to release her. He re-
fuses, and tho church will not abSOlvc her.
Finally, in n strong scene with the bird
trainer, who has meanwhile become the
idol of the populaCc, she finds that she is
beginning to love him, and he promises to
rcnounco all claim upon her. She tells
him to go back to his miserable hut, but
adds and leave the latch open"
At tho beginning of the next act Gis-
monda md Almcrio emerge from the hut.
The villain, who has gone there to dis
patch Almerio, is killed by tho duchess,
and after a series of sacrifices on the part
of tho man to whom she has given herself,
as sho expresses 1t, body and SOUL" she
confesses, md they arc married.

As will DO seen, Sardou has put in filth
for filth's sake, but it is all intensely in
tcrcsting. "Gismonda'' Is really high
grade melodrama without the offensive
features of that form OF entertainments, rs
it is generally understood ut the present
time.
Miss Davenport Is very stout and seems
rather out of place in the tito role. She
only suggests tho possibilities of the part
and compcis n mental comparison with
the few women who essay the same class
Of work. In the intense scenes she is to-
tally unable to portray the emotions of q
person similarly situated. Her perform
ance does not mar the picture to tho un-
thinking, but it docs not emphasize it as
it should and rs it undoubtedly would in
Sara Bcrnhardt's hands. The piece, how
ever, is certain to be one of tho greatest
money winners Of the season. Mr.. Mel
bourne MacDowell played the hero, AL
merio, with admirable discretion, and Mr..
Arthur Elliott rs the bishop, though gen.
orally good, was n trille noisy at times.

1t is announced from London that Sir
Arthur Sullivan's new opera, The Chief
TAIN produced at r. D'Oylcy Cartc's
handsome white elephant" the Savoy
theater, has scored n great success. The
libretto is by +. &. Burnand, the very Sc
rious editor OF that scrcamingly unfunny
English paper, Punch. Burnand is said
to have succeeded in avoiding any impu-
tation of wit in his librsto. but Sir Ar
thur, in spite of all, has SO completely
dominated the situation with his excellent
music that the opera is expected to last
through many months. -
The scene is laid in Spain, and there Is
q band of brigands. That tells the story,
for with these two clements given,
comic opera plot is known in advance.
The work IL modern, for It introduces n
party of tourists. This is, il 1 mistake
not, Mr.. Burnand's third or fourth at

confine himself to the good work he has
been doing for so many years through the
medium of Punch-furnishing subdued

who are wont to look to his publication
for relief from the sometimes irrepressible
inclination to be merry.

LONDON, July 16.-A dispatch to The
Times from Tromsoe, in the north of Nor
way, says that the yacht Saide of the
royal yacht squadron touched at Danes
island, on the northeast coast of Spitz-
bergen, on July 6. The yachtsmen found
on the island Professor Oyen, the geologist
who was left there by the American polar
expedition under Walter Wellman to
await their return and to guard the depot
established on the island. Nothing had
been heard of the expedition since their
steamer, the Ragnvald Jarl, left Danes
island. The Saide started on a search for
her, but found all the routes blocked by
Ice. The yachtsmen met an experienced
walrus hunter, Captain Johannesen, com.
Ing from the northwest. 1t was his opin-
ion that the Ragnvald Jarl had been beset
by ice and crushed.
Other hunters were met, but none Of
them had seen the steamer east of Yer.
legen Hook. The Saide left some sup
plies with Professor Oyen, who declined
to return with the yacht, as he was
pledged to Mr.. Wellman to guard the de-
pot until the Ragnvald Jarl's return. He
had for company one dog. He feared that
his supplies would lie inadequate for the
expedition on its reourn. There were only
enough meat and -four for eight men for
six months Captain Johannesen intends
to search for the Wellman expedition
northwest from Spitzbergen when the
ice permits. In any case he will bring

foot Tax.
WASHINGTON, July 16-The Democratic
tariff conferrees put in long days work
and they did not adjourn until after
o'clock. The greater part of the day Was
put in discussing the sugar schedule and
no agreement was reached. The house
managers of the conference have made a
determined fight against the Is of a cent
differential on refined sugar and the SEN
ate members of the conference have stood
out very stubbornly for the sched ule sub
stantially as it was agreed to by the sem
ate. Representative McMillin is leading
the fight ON the extra duty on refined
sugar and so far has shown no disposition
to yield.
Main Features Of the Work.
The conference work has now advanced
to such a stage that it is impossible longer
for the conferrees to keep the main feat
ures of their labors from their congresion-
al associates. Much that has been definite
ly accomplished has reached senators and
members not on the committee, not in the
form of rumors and reports, but as ac-
complished facts. As thus considered the
chief features on which the conferrees have
come together are rs follows: Pottery
rates increased 5 per cent, making the
rates those OF the house Instead of the
senate amendments, the senate having re.
duced them. Glassware comes down TO
he hHT ufna = lan nntt Ia 1Na-
ing the reverse of that on pottery, for rea-
sons not now stated. The cotton sched
ule has been scaled down about 5 per cent.
from the senate rates.
Wooden and Tobacco Schedule.
The wooden schedule also has been
brought down "A considerable percentage,
making II more in accordance with the
house rules. Tobacco schedule has been
brought back to the house rate on the i'm
portant Item OF wrappers, the rate being
81 instead of the senate rates of 81 50 aud
S2.2o. The metal schedule has not been
materially changed from the rates fixed by
the senate. Neither iron or coal has been
carried back to the free list, as in the
house bill, and while the decision is not
final there is every reason TO believe that
the senate rate of 40 cents per ton on each
Will stand. The income tax has not yet
been passed, but there is little disagree
ment except on the item of limiting the
tax to five years, and on this the con-
ferrees have not yet come together.
The Whisky Schedule.
The issue between ad valorem and spe-
cific rates thus far mas not resulted in as
much of a return to the house ad valorem
rates as was expected, as it has been found
that in some cases the ad va.orem rates
were greatly in excess of the specific. The
whisky schedule has been II source of DE
termined contest for two days, the main
effort being to secure Il compromise on
the basis 81 per gallon and extension of
the bonding period to five years. This is
resisted on the around that while il is
an apparent Increase of 10 cents in the
tax, it will yield the government no addi-
tional revenue.

GRAND MASTER sARGeNT's VIEWS
Believes the Old BrOtherhOOds Will Bs
Stronger Than BEFORE.

TEREE HAUTE, July lG.-Grand Master
Sargent of the Firemen's brotherhood
said that the old brotherhoods will come
out of the Pullman strike stronger than
before it was ordered, for it will demon
strate their conservative character. The
laws of this order, he said, are made so
as to prevent strike as far as possible;
that such II spirit should actuate all la
boring organizations He added that at
no time during the Pullman boycott was
there any danger of n sympathetic strike
on the part of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Firemen, and all talk to that ef-
feet was by persons not familiar with
the brotherhood laws. He was sorry for
those brotherhood firemen who had gone
out on this strike on their own accord
and had lost their jobs, but they knew
the consequences when they struck, as
the tremen's organization had no trouble
whatever with any of the railroads.
