he said.
Mr.. T. c. Andrews here rose and de-
clared that THE people of the Sixth
ward have decided not to let another
man ride into office on this question"
Mr.. j. G. Rely said that he was a
member Of the city council when d
Rio Grande people. Capt, Paddock at
their head, were trying TO buy the land
from the Texas and Pacific people, and
that he distinctly remembered that
Capt. Paddock promised for his peo-
pie that Adams street, which was then
a highway, should not be closed. This,
however, Mayor Paddock most posi-
lively contradicted. THAT street is

first place, that there is not the scratch
of a pen to show that any OF those
streets had ever been opened, unless
Judge Terrelrs find was worth some

he delivered a speech that came straight
from his inmost feelings, showing that
he was not much short of angry him
self. He said: You do nothing but
sit quietly down and let this matter
rest till election time, and then you run
up TO the city council with lot of

tician. | do not propose to be abused

.rHE WHITE SQUADRON"
Very Creditnbie Patriotic Play at
GreenwalI's Last NiRht.

The White Squadron. which was pre-
scented at Greenwalrs opera house last
night. deserved much larger house
than II received. The play, which Is OF
a patriotic cast. is really very good
one. The plot Is laid In Brazil during
the revolution and portrays WILDLY the
perfidy and trenchery OF Brazilian OH
GERS high in command, who are eN-
posed and brought to Justice by the
efforts OF the officers OF the United
States navy.
NJ. l.. Alsop, as commander Of the
flagship Chicago. played his part so
well that one Of Uncle Sans naval OIL
GERS might have looked with pride upon
his performance. he fully deserved the
prolonged applause which was fire.
quently accorded him Frederick
Julian, as General De Romaclo, sus-
tained with credit the part of the arch
traitor and was fairly well seconded by
J. II. Smiley as his nephew and CO.
adjutor.
Anna Barclay, as onesta, and
George Turner as the patriotiv young
Brazilian officer, were worthy OF special
fmention as was also Charles Macklin
as Santos. the slave. The other minor
casts OF the play. were IN the main
poor, and what might have been a
very good part was spoiled by che eN-
tremely bad voice OF Edith Julian, who
appeared as Therese De Romacio.
on the whole, however. the play was
very well presented. and when once
seen, Is worth seeing again, and the
houses for the same play tonight and
for the matinee this afternoon Will
doubtless be a great Improvement over
