To the Editor of the PRESS:

To the Editor of the PRESS:
To correct wrong impression in re-
gard to the recommendation of the COM

ROBBED HIS ROOMMATE
But He Is Now in the Officers Hand.

Rolf S. Dockun, who lives in Freeport,
and Nelson d. Getchell were roommates
at A Brown street until about week
ago. Both men worked for Cloudy &
Kent, and were great friends. Dockun
is very frugal man, and had saved
some sos from his pay and placed it for
safe-keeping in his valise. One night
when Docsun came home from work,
he found that the valise, money, and
umbrella, an overcoat, suit of clothes,
and Getchell were gone. He at once re-
ported the matter to the police station,
and Deputy Marshal Sterling soon found
the overcoat in a pawn shop. but
could not find the missing man or the
other articles. Yesterday morning, how
ever, Getchell came back here from Bos-
ton. Officer Heating, who was on the
lookout for him, soon captured him and
placed him behind the bars. Dockun,
who is now in Freeport, was notified.
The SOS was not found.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Katherine Rober.

The Golden Giant" the play in which
Miss Katharine Rober will open her en-
gagement at the Portland Theatre next
Monday evening, is strong Western
drama from the pen of MeKeen Rankin.
In the role Of Bessie Fairfax Miss Rober
has an excellent part, one particularly
suited to display her great versatility.
1t is that of ayoung Western girl,
bright, breezy and with manners almost
and a thoroughly lovable disposition.
Miss Rober is very hard worker and
personally directs every rehearsal of her
company, the result being apparent in the
smoothness with which the performance
moves. In the series of "Living Pic
turesn to be presented here she has intro
duced many effects that she saw while
in Paris last summer, effects found in
no other series now being presented in
this country.
Davy Jones.
The new nautical opera, HDavy Jones"
will be presented at the Opera House
this afternoon and evening. This piece
was composed by Fred Miller, author of
"Ship Alloy" 1t has already had run
of 100 consecutive nights at the Boston
Museum during the summer. The
opera appeals especially to lovers of the
sea, for the nautical favor prevailing in
all the acts is strongly suggestive of the
romance and mystery pertaining to the
briny deep. 1t will be a source of pleas
ure to all theatre goers to know that
every pit of scenery used in this opera
has just been completed by that ads7
quate scenic artist.John Thompson of the
Columbia theatre, N. Y. The first act is
harmonious and picturesque represent
tation of Simsport bay with lighthouse
in the far distance and a quay in the
foreground. At the left is the inn of the
soil CAM" sailors resort, and at the
right a ship comes up to the wharf. The
second act is a unique and beautiful
picture of coral island in the South
seas. The curved formations of the
coral insect will be of interest to the
children as we'll as to adults, and are a
happy production Of the conceiver's and
the artists brains. The third act pre-
sents an oriental palace with wide orna-
mented pillars and Hindu idol of gro
tesque effect guarding each side of the
central entrance. These idols were de-
signed after originals in the new Boston
public library. A beautiful sea, glow
ing with sunset rays, shines far off, seen
through the palace pillars. There are

End of the seienioraes Bin.

/ The refusal of the House yesterday to
pass the seigniorage bill over the Presi-
dents veto virtually settles the silver
/ question so far as this congress IS CON
/ cerued. The President pretty plainly in
( timated in his veto message that he would
not sign a bill for the coinage Of the seign-
forage unless authority to issue bonds
TO maintain the gold reserve accompanied
it, 1t would be a waste of time, there
fore, TO send the President a free coinage
bill, or even a less Objectionable seignior-
age bill than the one he vetoed, unless it
authorized the secretary to issue bonds
for gold There is no probability that
congress would favor a bond issue-hence
there is no immediate prospect of any sill
yer legislation
The seigniorage may be coined without
special legislation. The Secretary of the
Treasury is Of the opinion that he has
authority to coin it, and he may 90 so if
he finds il can be done without ieopar-
dizing the credit of the government. As
soon as the Wilson bill has become a law
there will be, without doubt, an immedi-
ate improvement in all kinds of business,
The revenues will increase and be sufici-
ent to meet the expenses of the govern
ment. If then there should be a demand
for more silver currency the secretary
would have so much of the seigniorage
coined as could be safely put into circu-
lation.
1t is not the purpose OF Mr.. Bland. of
course, TO stop agitating the question of
the free coinage of silver. That is almost
the only question that has occupied his
attention for many years. He will have a
free coinage bill passed if he can. though
he knows that if it should reach the
President it would be vetoed. 1t is very
doubtful, however, if the House would pass
a free silver coinage bill, though there
are members, both democrats and repub-
licans who would vote for it, not with
the hope that it would become a law, but
with the expectation that by doing so
they would increase their chances for re-
election.
The silver question is going to be an
issue in the elections next fall, and Mr..
Bland and other silverites in congress
will do what they can during the re-
mainder of the present session of congress
to make it the leading issue. They will
find, however, that the free coinage of
silver. outside of few localities, is not
as popular as they think it is. The more
the people understand it the less likely
will they be to favor it, When it is I'M
derstood clearly that it is a dehased cur
rency that the silverites want the free
silver coinage craze will lose ground
rapidly. Sound money as against de-
based currency will win every time
