Manager Rapley is to be congratulated on
his success in securing for the New National
the first appearance of Miss Ada Rehan as
star. Perhaps the most brilliant first night
audience of the season greeted Mr.. Augustin
Days premiere las. night and applauded
her perfect art TO the echo.
''The Last Word" is called "a comedy on
the bill, but Miss Rehan has so strengthened
the part of Countess Vera that it contains
many of the elements of a tragedy. Scarcely
n better selection. however, could have been
made for Miss Rehan's appearance here as
star than this adaptation from the German of
SchonthoD. The scene is in Washington
and the diplomatic set.
The delightful broken English of Russian
was utilized by Miss Rehan as a vehicle for
the comedy element in her character study.
She has mastered this difficult linguistic at
tainment until it seems to come from one as
If to the manner born.
For the rest of the week Miss Rehan will
give classic comedy and it is to be regretted
that the delightful little piece enacted last
night will not be repeated. Tonight 1.-The
Tanning of the Shrew" will be put on. with
Miss Rehan as Katherine, in which character
she scarcely has living equal. In this part,
at least, she can be called the Queen of
Shakesperean comedy.
Washington theater-goers of fifteen years
ago will remember "Struck Oil' and the
widespread popularity it achieved at that
time. Those of later times will know that
pretty little Jane Stewart was the girl who
used to say Don't get woozy" to the people
in Mr.. Cranes company when he played ''The
Senator"
They are both at the Academy this week,
and that their friends knew it was evidenced
by the large audience last night. The scenes
of "Struck Oil' are laid in the oil regions of
Pennsylvania during the war and shortly
afterward. The plot is, perhaps, trifle an
tiquated, but that is redeemed by the German
dialect that runs through the piece and
mingles laughter and tears with confusing
rapidity. Mr.. Wilson as the German shoe
maker is worthy of a great deal of praise and
he has got the German dialect ''down pat"
His work in the last act, when his mind is
supposed to be unbalanced, is really very
fine and ought to rank high in the list of
crazy scenes. There are several songs scat
tered through the piece that set forth Miss
Stewards voice very prettiy.
The only criticism one could make of the
entire performance is that there a little too
much of the original German in the first two
acts. That goes very we'll in Chicago, but
people in the East are mostly Americans.
After an absence of two years Robert Man
tell returned to Albaugh's Opera House last
night and inaugurated week of repertoire in
the romantic French drama, "Monbars." 1t
is unnecessary to expatiate upon tho merits
of the play, as it has been seen in this city
many times.

rect in every way. William Stuart, as Louis
De Meran. the abandoned lover of Diane,

famous friend. was in the capable hands Of
Albert Bruning. Miss Charlotte Behre1s es-
sayed the rather trying role of Diane. Miss
Eleanor Merron's work in the part OF Lady
Mouton merited much commentator. The

the mounting was fair. Tonight Mr.. Man

WARRINGTON CRY. March 24-The naval
bureau, whose business it is to fit out men,
of-war for service, are very busy now in
getting together the supplies necessary
for the Bering sea heet. The repairs
needed on five vessels are beng
made under difficulties owing to the low
state of appropriations available for the
reconstruction of its repairs. The equip
ment bureau is also bothered by the same
old question which arises every year as TO
the coal supply for the feet. Per-
sons interested in the Pacific
slope coal fields have been insisting
that the navy shall use their coal in pref
erence to importing coal, but naval off,
GERS. while willing to make any reasonable
concession 10 patriotic feeling, have
been obliged to declare against the
Western coal. which they say Is
not only inferior to the imported
article for steaming purposes. but
is also destructive TO boilers and crate
bars. Recently. however. the Seattle coal
people claimed to have developed new
vein of coal that is free from the objections
heretofore made, and they have renewed
their demands that the Bering sea feet be
supplied with American coal.

BRkCKINkIDGE's AFFIDAvIrs.
Misc Pollard Files Objections Aea;nst
Them All.


Them ALI
NAsHIS6Toy CRY. March 24.-Judge
Bradley heard objections to certain affida-
Wits TOR the defense in the Pollard case in
private today. only the attorneys con-
necsed with the trial being admitted.
There were three depositions to which OBJ
Jscticn was made. the point involved being
the relevancy OF the testimony bearing on
Miss Poilard's character. One of these
depositions was that of Alexander Julian,
who tells OF the alleged mock marriage as
Squire Tinsley's house, at Bridgeport, KY,
In 1883, and OF free participation in egg
nogg. fol owed by the retirement OF the
pseudo bride and groom. together with
further unseemiy proceedings. Miss Pol
lard IN her testimony denied the truth of
this statement. Another is the deposition
OF W. w. RosselIe. who was engaged to
Miss Pollard when she was a student in
Wesleyan seminary and intimate with
Breckinridge. He testified that he took
liberties with her. and that she begged
him to take her with him to Chicago.
Miss Pollard denied this and said Rosselle
was trying TO curry favor with Breckin-
ridge in order to get the appointment Of
collector of internal revenue in Breckin-
ridges district. The deposition of DIR.
Lewis, Of Lexington. who said the late
Col. Swope approached him to get him to
perform criminal operation on Miss
Pollard, was also objected TO Is not being
shown to be this Miss Pollard.
The Arguments before Judge Bradley
continued five hours. and he took the
questions submitted under consideration,
TO decide them Monday morning when
the court meets again. Miss Pollard's
counsel surprised the defense by making .
sweeping objection to all their depositions
on the ground that they had been taken in
an irregular manner

-Inseress ON City Money.


TACOMA, March a. Especial. Re
trenchment received some announcement
this evening at the meeting Of the city
council, when the salary ordinance, which
had been vetoed by Mayor Huson. was
passed again. II provides for 10 per
cent. reduction, or total OF $6s, 900 per
year in municipal salaries. Treasurer
Boggs reported rs follows:
Referring to your resolution wherein I
am instructed TO collect for the city per
cent interest on the moneys Of the city
deposited in the several banks as shown
by my report thereon, would respectfully
state that the Puge: Sound Savings bank
refuses to pay the city any interest on the
amount now on deposit in that bank-that
Is, $4,000. Ali Of which Is respectfully
submitted for your consideration"
The money was ordered withdrawn
from tho bank which refused to pay inter.
est
In this connection il 10 stated by other
bank officials that they cannot afford 10
pay per cent interest on city deposits.
However. an offer of 9 per cent interest
was made for the $3.50 600 water extension
money. City and county warrants to the
amount OF the principal were to have been
put up as security. The proposition was
refused. Then IL was proposed to put up
city warrants TO the amount of the water
extension fund. and like amount of state
warrants as security. Then IL was that
Treasurer Boggs agreed to- pay interest on
all the money deposited by him at tho rate

siiion went into effect in February. when
the treasurer reported about 81. 200 in in

first interest secured by the city on its

either, but for very short time. The
money Is no: worth IL. We do not con-
slider that the bank which offered to put
up city warrants as security ana state
warrants also. to the amount Of the water
extension fund. could raise the warrants
here or elsewhere. They simply wanted
to get the handling OF the money"
At any rate the proposition resulted in
the city treasurer paving 8 per cent. inter
