are expected, and Gre ston Clarke, whose
Hamlet, as played in Baltimore over a
year ago, surprised and pleased all who
saw it.
1t is strange that Shakespeare SHOULD
be more popular in Germany than IN
England or America. But 1t is a painful
fact that his plays have gone out OF
fashion" in the two latter countries, and
where they are presented are so cut aud
revised, as Irving says, that all the
beauties are gone. Irvings productions
are little more than grand stage pictures,
with little music and still less Shakes
peare. But in Germany they admire
Shakespeare so much-have such rever-
ence and love for him-that his plays are
given almost entirely intact. In Munich
we had the pleasure of seeing The Mer'
chant of Venice. with Ernst Won Possart
as Shylock. 1t was one of the finest per-
formances we have ever witnessed.
Scarcely six months later we saw Irving
in the same play. One who had never
read Shakespeare and had only seen the
German version. would never have rec
ognized it, and We have seen the same
piece played here in America, in one OF
our principal cities by q prominent star,
where the last act was entirely omitted.
i think 1t would be very hard 10 suit the
lbs Angeles people in regard to plays
and players. For instance. Trilby came
to us, the best company that has been
here for many long day; there was not
a weak spot in it, the faults being on the
part of the playwright, not the actors.
Edith Crane, in the title role. was most
unjustly cri.icized as a matter of fact
she is superior in that character to Vn-
GINA Hamcd, who created the part in
New York last spring. The death. scene
in the play was poor; il was not Miss
Cranes fault it did not succeed. During
the season Of 1s93-94 she played second
to Georgia Cayvan in Daniel Frohman's
Lyceum theater company. and was
thought by many to be the better actress
of the two.
What can be said of the culture of
country where Galety Girls, Merry Worlds
and Passing Shows ars the best patron
lied amusements?

Report of Receivers of the North
ern Pacific on the Roads
Condition.
1t Will Take Nine Millions to
Put 1t in Shape to
Compete.
Expenses Decreased and Earn.
mgs Increased Under the
Receivership.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 23.-The general
report OF the receivers of the Northern
Pacific railroad showing the condition
OF the property, which was ordered by
Judge Jenkins, was fled in the United
States court late in the afternoon. The
report is voluminous document, COM
prising nearly 40 pages of printed mat
ter, together with the trial balance
sheets and the records from the comp
troller's office. The report deals large
~ in generalities, as it would be i'm
possible, the receivers say, to present a
detailed history of their administration
IN so brief space. Tables are adduced,
however, to show that in the two years
OF the receivership, the operating ex-
penses have been decreased. The trOu-
bles of the receivership, embraced in the
strike, the conflict with the Coxeyites.
the floods and the endless litigation are
pointed out. The receivers say further
that the condition of the road is not
such as to enable it to compete on an
equal basis with its rivals and that to
remedy this will require an expenditure
OF $1,000, 600 in the next five years.
Condition of the Road.
At the outset the report states the
condition Of the road at the time the
receivers took hold. The total indebt-
ness, including the mortgages, was SCI
6T, 1878, and the annual fixed charges
$lO,42l ,O25.96. For the years ending
June 30, 1894 and 1895, the report states
that the expenditures under the head of
maintenance of way and structures were
decreased 1927 per cent while the main
tainance and equipment were increas d
but .66 per cent. The expense of con-
Quoting the transportation department
has decreased 7.96 per cent. The oper-
ating expenses for the year ended June
30, 1894, decreased $236, 464 80. against a
decrease Of $25I, 1875 for 1895.
The earnings for 1895 We're 81 7,434,
9sO,SO, against $16, ,547 ,2O95l the year
before. The operating expenses for 1895
We're 81 1919, ,6S2.4l, against $l1 ,Sl6,
l2O.17. while the net earnings for 1895
were $6, ll5, ,29S. 80, against 81, 73l ,OS9. 81
the net earnings per mile for 1895 being
81 1850. 32, against 81 ,052 26.
Must Expend Millions.
During the next five years the report
states, it will be necessary to relay about
l4,0OO miles Of steel rail at cost Of
about $4,OOO,OOO. 1t would be also ad-
visable to continue the replacing of tenn
porary wooden structures with perma-
nent earth fills or steel bridges This
would cost about $3,6OO,OOO. Summed
l..
should be made for extraordinary ex-
penditures in the next five years of So
100000, in order that the property may
be placed on an equal footing with its
rivals for economical operation.
