SARAH APPEAKs Y0UTHFUL.

Mime. Bernhardt Plays in Ne,o York
After Long Abseacs.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Jan. 21.-Sarah
Bernhardt appeared last night at Abbey's
Theater in "Izeyl," after an absence of
nearly five years from the American stage.
1t was fifteen years ago that she acted here
first, and those in the audience last night
that remembered her debut as AdrIenne
Lecouvreur at Booths Theater must have
found occasion for some rather optimistic
reflection as to the flight of time and its
pr0verbial ravages.
There was nothing about the perform
ance last night that was quite so striking
as the remarkably youthful appearance
of the French actress. Those in the
audience who had seen her before were
amazed at the extent to which she
retains the appearance and illusion of
being a considerably younger woman
than they know her to be in reality; and
the younger playgoers, whom she faced
for the first time, saw woman who has
been famous for twenty years, and looks
as though she might dignihedly con-
tinue, so far as her personal charm goes,
to exploit her genius for years to come
She is stouter, but none the less attractive
In her own way through the change; and
nothing of her sinuous grace has been lost
Nine. Bernhardt acted as perfectly as
she has ever played any role, her genius
and technique never failing to make it's
certain and sure effect. The few words
she spoke in the first act assured her hear
ers that her beautiful voice had lost none
of the charm for which it is noted. The
scenery and costumes were appropriately
beautiful, and her associates afforded her
q most capable support.

MAY Retire VERY soon.
Associate Justice Field, How.
ever, Would Like to Name
His Successor.
Judge Ross of the Southern Circuit
Said to Be the Choice for the
Place.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 21.-The
Post this morning says, upon Senator
Whites authority, that Associate Justice
Field will soon retire, but hopes to be al
lowed to name his own successor, and
that, if so, he will name Judge Ross of the
United States Circuit Court for the South
ern circuit of California. Senator White
said to THE CALL correspondent to-day:
Il DON'T know why such a statement
coming from me should be printed in the
Post. 1 certainly gave out no such in
formation. All l know about Justice
Fields intentions is what l have seen in
newspapers from time to time for several
years. 1t is true that l am friendly to
Judge Ross and naturally assume that
others are, but i know nothing about JUS
tice Field wanting Ross to succeed him,
though l must say Ross would be an ex-
cellent man for the place.
Justice Field said to friend last night,
81 am ready to retire at any time if 1 am
allowed to name my successor" but to-
day Field gave out statement to the
effect that the Posts story had no founda-

Secret Service Agents Believe That
They Will Flood the Country With
Counterfeit Money.

NEW YORK, \. Y, Jan. 2l.-The Re-
corder says this morning: The secret SER

the head, recently received information
from a trustworthy source that the Malta

has perfected its organization in this
country in a stronger manner than ever
before, and has planned a gigantic scheme

Is the result of the recent discharge from
several prisons where Federal prisoners
are confined of a number OF desperate
murderers and leaders of counterfeiting
gangs, who have Just finished long terms
Of imprisonment.
Although the police in this country have
steadily denied that the Maia has obtained
g foothold here, the secret service operators
have been convinced by the most positive
evidence that the society is in a most
fourishing condition and is prepared to
carry out It's schemes of crime upon a
stupendous scale.
The evidence collected by the secret SER
vice men shows that the Malta has It's

The new scheme of the Malta is in the
counterfeiting line, and the plan involves
simultaneous movement in all parts oi
the country. A large amount of spurious
coin and bank notes are to be put out at
the same time, in order to food the coun-
try before any report is made to the Fede-
raj authorities of the existence of the
spurious money.
The Mafia's plans are disseminated by
messengers, who know full well that death
awaits them if they are discovered or give
any information about their business. The
records of the secret service show that
nearly all the counterfeiting done IN this
country is the work of the Malta. The
secret service agents are baffied in their in

.ress in 1885, referring to this question,

eress in 1885, referring to this question,
said:
The Argentine Government has re-
vived the long dormant question OF the
Falkland Islands by claiming from the
United States indemnify for their loss, at
trlbuted to the action of the commander of
the sloop-of-war Lexington in breaking up
a practical colony on these islands in 1881
and their subsequent occupation by Great
Britain. In view of the ample justification
of the act of the Lexington and the dere-
lict condition of the islands before and
after their alleged occupation by Argen-
tine colonIsts, this Government considers
the claim as wholly groundless.'
Friends of the Argentine Government,
however, claim that this referred wholly
to claims which the Argentine authorities
were then pressing against this country,
and as they have now been definitely aban-
doned, for amicable reasons, they believe
the United States will not disregard the
proofs of ownership which can now be pre-
sented, as they are similar in all respects
TO those Of Brazil and Venezuela which
have been espoused by Secretary Olney."

Spectators Horrifed by the Ter.
rible Fate of an Engi-

BLOWN VERY HIGH IN THE AIR.
GrueSome Experience of Those in the
Vicinity of Wrecked Pump
ing Station.

RED KEY, IND, Jan. 21.-A terrific ex-
plosion of natural gas at o'clock tonight
shook the town from end to end, killed
one man and injured four, it is believed,
fatally.
The pumping station of the Ohio and
indianapolis Gas Company is located on
the main street here, and a 12-inch main
leading to the building burst with awful
force. The pipes we're buried six feet
underground but the force of the explo-
sion threw them about like cordwood and
rendered the street impossible.
The pipes were torn up as far as the
pumping station. and here the escaping
gas was ignited by the fame in the boiler
room The station was completely wrecked
and two buildings adjoining destroyed.
Palmer Goodwin, the engineer on duty
was instantly killed and his body burned
to ashes before the eyes of hundred hor-
rified spectators. who were unable to reach
him.
Joseph Watkins, chief engineer of La
fayette, who was in another part of the
station, was fatally injured. Three other
men, whose names are not known, are
also believed to be beyond recovery. The
force of the explosion blew these men $50
feet from the station.
Immediately after the explosion the
debris took fire, and as the town boasts
but small Fire Department the wreck was
destroyed.
The loss on the pumping-station alone is
100000, and that on the other buildings
about $4,000. There was great danger for
some time of the fire spreading, and the
citizens turned out and rendered all the
aid possible to the Fire Department. The
explosion was caused by pressure of 300
pounds on the 12-inch main.
This is the center of the Ohio and Indi-
ana gas-fields, and this company supplies
nearly hundred cities from this station
They OF course are shut off from their sup
ply of gas tonight, and considerable sut-
fering will result, as the weather is cold.

UPHOLDS BOWLER'S ACT,
Secretary Carlisle Says the Comp
troller Did Not Exceed His
Authority.
But the Judiciary Committee Will
Proceed With the Proposed
Investigation.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 2l.-The
Judiciary Committee to-day considered
the Boatner resolution which recites the
action of the Com ptroller of the Treasury
in refusing to countersign the warrants in
payment of the money appropriated for
the sugar bounty, and after some discus
sion substitute, prepared by Ray of New
York, was adopted. This gives the Judi
.ciary Committee authority to inquire as to
the condition of the law on the subject of
the right of the executive officers of the
Government TO refuse to enforce or comply
with any provisions of any act of Congress
on the ground of its alleged unconstitu-
uonahty or for other reasons, and to re-
port to the House by bill or otherwise.
Ray to-day received letter from Secre-
tary Carlisle, under date of the 10Th inst,
in which he replies at length to RAYS re-
quest for information whether there is pre-
cedent or authority on the part of the
Comptroller for declining to pay the
bounty.
The Secretary shows the care with which
the Comptroller investigated the subject
and the conclusion reached by him that
the constitutionality of the appropriation
was at least doubtful. and that he deemed
1t has duty without allowing or disallowing
the claim to have the question referred to
the Court OF Claims for adjudication
which the Secretary, after hearing written
and oral arguments upon the question,
agreed to.
Secretary Carlisle in conclusion shows
that the original Boatner res olution was
based upon certain statements contained
in the preamble which are erroneous.
For" he continues, ''the Comptroller has
not refused to perform a ministerial act or
execute o statute passed by Congress; nor
has he nullified or attempted to nullify
any act of Congress. On the contrary, he
has proceeded under and in accordance
with the statutes of the United States,
which expressly authorized him to cause
claims of the class to which this one be-
longs (the Oxnard Beet Sugar Company

tion OF the constitutional questions in

scheme to enable British capital and labor to
deprive American capital and labor of the just
protection OF our laws; as a scheme to dupe us
into producing articles which contain much
material and little work, ana generally as
scheme to make England the workshop of the
world.
Resolved, That we favor the policy of tariff
protection because it multiplies the establish
ments which give employment TO labor and
capital at home.
ResoIued, That it should he the policy of
Congress in framing the free list to adopt the

which will open their markets to the entrance

to free admission of specific articles of their
own growth into cur markets, as was done

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 21.-The members
of the subcommittee of the Republican
National Committee, representative busi-
ness mems league and Architects Taylor
of st. Louis and Adler of Chicago were
busily engaged to-day examining the
plans of the proposed convention hall in
the Exposition building.
The committee does not seem inclined
to accept the plans of the local architect,
and in accordance with the views of Mr..
Adler have suggested changes which if
carried out would involve an outlay of
$25, 600, and would interfere with the pur-
pose for which the Exposition building
was erected.
AS compromise, President Kennard of

Plans to Build a Road From Sausalfto
to Point Bonita.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 21.-Acting
chief of engineers of the War Department
Mackenzie has written Senator Perkins
concerning the construction of road from
Sausalito through the Lime Point military
reservation to Point Bonita. Mackenzie
states that the construction of good road
would be OF advantage to the Government,
but that poor one would not. The good
road, he says, cannot be built for $2250
He, therefore, recommends that Congress
be asked to make an appropriation for the
construction of the road. or that the Sec
retary of War be authorized to use the
proceeds of a lease for the purpose of the
road construction and maintenance. In
these recommendations Secretary Lamont
concurs, and Senator Perkins and Con-
gresham Barham will endeavor to secure
the necessary appropriation from Con-
gress.
