role of Nancy Roach, reading her lines
with. excellent emphasis and dressing
with exquisite taste. She lounges
about with the graceful ease one
might readily expect from such a
young woman as Nancy, and readily
established herself as favorite. Miss
Annie Allistons work was conscien-
tious to a degree. Her character de-
mands varied display Of emotion, and
her strict attention to detail and evil

Robert Downing, who has by the
force of his native genius and untir-
ing energy raised himself to the front
rank of American tragedians, will
come to the Metropolitan opera house
on Sunday evening for an engage
ment of four nights, with Wednes-
day matinee. The play selected for
opening is 1.-The Gladiator of Saumet,
one of the finest in the language, and
one which gives Mr.. Downing's mag
nificent presence and genius full scope
There will be three more perform
ances of Paul Dresser's exceedingly
witty farce, GA Green Goods Man
A number Of new specialties and songs
were added last night and will con-
tinue in the performance the balance
of the engagement here.
''The Girl I Left Behind Me- which
comes to the Grand next week, is a
play that stands above all other mil
itary plays of the day. There is nc
clap-trap, no striving after effect, no
modifying of large forces on the stage
but through it all is a vein of sup
pressed excitement, which finds ebullf,
ton in the third act. There is not a
moment where ones excitement and
interest are not keyed to the highest
pitch, anxious to anticipate the move
ment of the plot.

Explosion in FOrlnOsa.
HONG KONG, Feb. 20.-Informa-
ton that has come from the island
of FormoSa, since the sudden de-
parture on the 18th inst. of the
British cruiser Mercury upon receipt
of information that the notorious
robbers known as Black Flags wera
committing outrages, and the Brit
ish residents were in need of urgent
help, has been meager, but what has
been received shows that the situa-
ton is as serious as the first dis
patches indicated. Reports have ar
rived today that the disturbances
on the island are increasing, and
have become so bad that the mer-
chants are alarmed and are leaving.
1t is also reported here that an eX-

the magazine of the forts of Takao,
already reported, on the southwest.
ern coast on the island, which was
at first understood to be of a com,
paratively trivial character, was ter
r1ble in its results. 1t is now said
that the explosion killed 200 Chinese
soldiers attached to the forts, and
injured many others. A SQUADRON

Just as Catholic schools are in charge

sought to go to a Catholic church
was told by a teacher that 'EpiscO-

for public pupils. In view of the ex-

this subject the committee had de-

Catholic and Protestant schools.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2O.-The North
China Herald of Jan. 4, received per
last mail, has the following: The fol-
lowing extraordinary edict has been
kindly furnished as coming from Of
fetal circles in Pekin:
'Weng Tung Ho, Ling Hung Tsao
and Wen Ting Shin memorialized the
emperor lately suggesting the removal
of the capital westward. In reply the
young emperor is said to have issued
an edict the substance of which was
this:
" When we first took charge of the
affairs of the empire it was our inten-
ton to introduce many reforms. Sud-
denly and unexpectedly the Japanese
have broken the peace, taken away our
Corean dependency, and taken pos
session of the borders of our empire.
We have sent out generals with their
armies to punish the japanese and
drive them away, but we never in
tended to disturb the peace of the
Japanese empire. This our ancestors
and foreign nations all know. Little
did we expect that generals were in
competent and the soldiers insubor-
dinate, so that the Japanese gained
victory after victory and place after
place until our ancestors in their very
graves are disturbed. This is because
we are unworthy and have employed
unfit men. If, however, the worst
comes, the japanese get the sacred
affairs, then there remains nothing for
us but to perish with them. When
that time comes you may reverently
escort the empress dowager westward,
and elect worthy man to be emperor
and to look after the sacred affairs of
our ancestors and wipe off this dis
grace

The division between the demo-
cratic-using that ward in it's proper
and not it's partisan sense-and the
socialistic element in the Populfst
party grows apace. Plank No 10,
that declared for the naturalization
of all means of production, is dis
tasteful, of course, to the democratic
element, and they proposed to offer
a substitute that is broadly demo-
cratic in the proper use of the word
The proposed plank is:
We hold that when free competition
becomes impossible, as in telegraphs,
railroads, water and gas supplies, ETC.,
such business becomes a proper social
function which should be controlled
and managed by and for the whole
people concerned through their proper
government, local, state or national,
as may be.

FAVOR THE ABANDONMENT
OF All UNCONVENTIONAL Schools
Except the Hampton and
Lincoln.
SETTLES PACIFIC CABLE
House Refuses to Agree to
the Senate Apppopria-
ton.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 81. - The
senate devoted itself to business to-
day, and would have completed the
Indian appropriation bill had not the
acrimonious discussion arisen on the
sectarian school question. 1t
brought out a wide range of debate
on the separation of the church and
state, in the course of which the eX-
pressions were general that the gov
eminent should entirely abandon de-
nominations schools. On an aye
and nay vote an exception was made
in the case of the Indian schools at
Hampton, Va, and Lincoln, Phila-
delphia, on the ground that they
were not strictly UNCONVENTIONAL.
The sectarian question was still I'M
der consideration when the senate
adjourned.
During the day two of the sena-
tors-elect from the CarolinaS-eX-
Gov. Tillman, of South Carolina, and
Marion Butler, of North Carolina
made their first appearance on the
floor, and their credentials were pre-
scented for the terms beginning
March next.
The financial question did not
come up during the day, except in
directly in a speech by Mr.. Allen,
opposing an issue of sewer bonds for
Washington, D. c., and dealing with
the recent finacial conditions.
THE SECTARIAN SCHOOL
question came up when the item of
Indian schools was reached. Mr..
Cockreil explained that the appro-
priation committee had sought to
take out of the bill everything that
was Catholic, everything that was
Protestant, and thus separate church
from state, and eliminate the de-
nominational question. Catholic
schools had heretofore been omitted
from the bill, and the committee
omitted the Lincoln school at Phila-
delphia, and Hampton school, Viz
ginia, because they were Protestant
schools. The bill also provided for
the government purchase of Indian
schools now owned by various de-
nominations.
Mr.. Lodge said the secretary of the
interior had recommended the grad
ual abolition of sectarian schools,
and they had carried out this policy.
But the senate committee tried to
include two charitable schools, which
were not supported by any church or
denominations It was an effort to
obscure the plain policy urged by the
secretary of the interior to abolish
UNCONVENTIONAL schools.
Mr.. Hawley urged that in aban-
doning sectarian schools there should
be no abandonment of Christian
teachings in government schools. He
would rather have a school run by
Jesuits than to have one with no
God in it.
While Mr.. Daniel Dem, Va was
urging that no one denomination
controlled the board of the Hamp-
ton school, Mr.. Call asked: care
they not all PROTESTANT"
Yes said Mr.. Daniel, because
this is largely a country of Protest
ants, and there is no reason for dis
franchising a very large class be-
cause of that fact"
MI Cockrell, chairman of the ap-
propriations committee, said he was
a Protestant of the Protestants, but
he would not
