MILLS RESOLUTIONS

In the business of projecting Cuban reso-
lutions Senator Mills takes the ribbon.
Whatever the resolutions heretofore con-
sidered by the senate and house lacked in
radicalism and f1erceness, those proposed
by the Texan senator furnish. With char
acteristic bluntness and directness Senator
Mills gets right down to business, and as
one reads the resolutions he has submitted
the gleam of bayonets can be seen between
the lines and the smoke of battle scented
as it curls up from the fiery words. Their
adoption by congress would be considered
by Spain rs equivalent to q declaration OF
war.
Senator Mills has enjoyed the reputation
of being immeasurably superior to the av-
erage member of the upper house of con-
gress. He has been looked on by a large
section of the American people as states
man of exceptionally clear thought and
sound conclusions. with more than usu-
ally accurate conception of the interests of
the people of the United States and the du-
ties of the federal government. His Gu
ban resolution outburst will not benefit
his prestige as public man. On the con-
trary, it will impair that prestige. 1t will
have the effect of associating him. in the
minds of thoughtful citizens, with the jim
goistic politicians who seem convinced
that it is the function of the United States
congress to legislate for all the world,
and the mission of the United States
government to find row. There is less
excuse for Mills acting like demagogue
and fool than there is for men of the
Lodge and Morgan stripe thus indulRing.
There is indeed little probability of his
resolutions being adopted, but his many
admirers will regret that he has fallen q
victim to the epidemic of Quixoticism that
seems raging in the halls of congress.
1t can be said, however, that the Mills
resolutions mean something and that If
this country really considers itself in duty
bound to help the Cubans win independ-
ence, regardless of cost or complication,
they should be adopted. In brief, they de-
clare that Spain should be asked to grant
self-government to Cuba, and that in the
event of her failing to comply with this
request, that the president of the United
States should be directed to stake posses
sion of the island of Cuba with the mill
tary ard naval forces Of the United States
and hold the same until the people of Cuba
can organize government deriving its
just powers from the consent of the gov
erned, and arm and equip such military
forces as may be necessary to protect them
from INVASION" Beside these. the resolu-
tions over which the conference committees
of the senate and house have been strug.
Cling seem tame and docile. although not
reckoned 30 when they made their appear
ance. The most extreme proposition in
these other resolutions was contained in
the house set, which threatened interven.
ton in the event of such action being neces-
sary to protect American interests. Mills
does not threaten but promises interven-
ton. and not on the score of American in.
terests, but on that of Cuban freedom.

HERALD adverted to the remarks of some
Of the Republican leaders regarding the
methods the Ohio candidate is employing

AT THE THEATERS

Les ANGELES THEATER. - Morrison's
grand production of Faust. the famous
poem that has taught the world so much
goodness, which shines as a luminous star
from the armament Of the worlds litera-
ture, and in which Goethe, Germany's
sublime writer, fixed sermon stronger
than the pulpit can teach, is to appear at
the Los Angeles theater three nights,
Thursday. Friday and Saturday of this
week. and Saturday matinee.
The grand opera of Faust is sublime, its
music fires the very soul, the stage pictures
are grand to behold; but Notwithstanding
the grandeur with which the opera has
been produced it must be said, and candid
ly admitted, that the real beauty of the
poets ideas WAS left to the dramatist.
The sense of feeling, the wondrous
thought, the real strength and meaning
are revealed most impressively in the
drama.
Morrison's production is heralded as
something grand and gorgeous. and every
expectation will be fulfilled, all promises
carried out. Not o1ly will it satisfy, but it
surprises. The story is one that carries
the auditor into other spheres. 1t makes
him think Of other than worldly things.
He realizes during it's progress that there
is hereafter, and ere the curtain falls he
is convinced, be he Christian or atheist.
The piece is mounted with the most mag
nifcent scenic embellishments Startling
scenes that make the poor miserable NOR
tai feel his weakness when compared to
the power Of the immortal come in quick
succession, and as the curtain falls for the
last time the sinner in the audience
starts as if aroused from some dreadful
dream-a dream that has made him a
wiser man. He remembers that he, poor
mortal, is like the crawling, helpless worm
meath the implement in the yeoman's
hand raised to strike it, and end the only
life it ever knew. Again, he is forced to
believe. whether he will or not, that some
future awaits the sinner of the world. For
this reason Morrison's Faust is worthy,
moral lesson as well as q gorgeous pro-
duction of dramatic and scenic art. In
obtaining the fine scenic effects the power
of electricity is taken advantage of. There
are many electric surprises and mechanical
novelties, making it as whole. one of the
most elaborate and brilliant productions
ever Witnessed.
The ORPHEUM-As usual at this popular
house there is a splendid array of vaude-
vile stars who combine in presenting a
most excellent performance.
There are on the bill which will be given
tonight: Charles b. Ward, the famous
comedian and composer of popular songs,
without exception the greatest vaudeville
artist who ever appeared in this city; the
Andersons, winning team of plantation
comedians; Les De Filippi, grotcsque and
character dancers in series of unique and
pleasing devisements; the Athos family of
six clever acrobats; Dianta Brothers, a
rollicking duo of eccentric musicians and
tumhlars: the Rossleys. in a lively turn of
Hibernian songs. jokes and dancing, and
the daring and humorous team of triple
horizontal bar performers, the Wiltons.

plain to the satisfaction of Chandler, and
the New Hampshire senator comes back
with the following:
II was very cautious in speaking about
Major Mckinley, but it does certainly
seem to me that he is in the hands of un-
scrupulous managers. They say that this
year the Republicans can elect yellow

THE STANFORD BOYS

at the Los Angeles Theater Last Night


at the Los Angeles Theater Last Night
brilliant audience assembled at the
Los Angeles theater last night to greet the
Stanford Glee and Mandolin clubs. Brave
boys and fair girls, o few proud parents,
and all friends constituted a very bright
and enthusiastic audience. The college
colors were predominant in every drec-
ton. The stage, orchestra and boxes had
been beautifully decorated with carna.
tions, geranium and smilax. A couple of
the loges contained a bevy of buds, look
ing charming in white with crimson sashes,
and this was the Mecca of the boys when
not engaged on the stage. So attractive
were the social features OF the occasion
that the musical part of the entertainment
has almost to take second place. One OF
the great advantages of mandolin and
guitar music is that conversation does not
seriously interfere with its enjoyment, and
the marches and medleys played were very
pleasant.
The program, however. included some
excellent work on the part of both clubs.
the which bespoke assiduous practice and
commendable zeal. The blending of voices
with the light strings was very effective.
particularly in the Spanish Students song
and the captivating Ma Angeline. The
last named. which is said to be in reality
the result of the collaboration of local
newspaper man and musician, was rapt-
urously received.
Both organizations did capital work on
their own account. The most commend
able feature of the glee clubs singing was
the excellently distinct articulation, every
word being pronounced with perfect clear
ness. Courtship, PAS Baby Boy, Wing
Tee Wee, Phyllis Dyes Her Tresses Black,
o medley of college songs, and My Old
Kentucky Home, we're amongst their most
successful selections.
Stanford can boast a born humorist in
Charles l. Dillon. Last night he seemed
equally at home as an 1rishman, colored
gent or an English costermonger. The
Irishman's narrative of the discovery of
America especially pleased the house, and
Mr.. Dillon was subjected to succession
of recalls. Phil +. Abbott was the soloist
of the evening. He has pleasing bari
tone voice and sang the cavatina from
Faust and Rubinstein's ARA.
Among those who occupied boxes and
loges were: Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Rule in
a loge with friends and Misses Ethel Null
Inns, Haskins, Julia Winston, Messrs.
Warren Carhart. Will Innes and Karl
Klokke enjoyed it from box. Another
pleasant party that occupied two boxes
were Mr.. and Mrs. Nat Wiltshire, Misses

room honored the Stanford University col
