ADJUSTMENTS.

The Frawley Company had a splendid
audience at the Metropolitan Theater
last night. 1t was full house and such
an audience as any company may be
proud of. Men and Women" was the
play. 1t was given here in 1891 by the
Frohman Company that played it in
New York for nearly 200 consecutive
nights to constantly crowded houses.
The production of last night by the
F'Tawley Company is entitled to be
placed side by side with that of the
F'rohman Company. 1t was a rounded
success, an artistic triumph and, while
not devoid of errors, these were minor
and too inconsequential to count in the
general estimate of the whole perform
ance. This public has finally awakened
to realization of the high merit Of the
Frawley Company, which Mr.. Bellows,
the new stage manager, has so drilled
and rounded out in all its work that
evidences of his skill and artistic per-
ceptions are unmistakable. No stock
company can develop to its best except
it has some such a manager, who can
stand apart and fashion the dramatic
pictures undertaken precisely as
painter would do upon q canvas in Civ
ing expression to his thought and con-
ception of what he desires to produce.
The company goes to-day to Marys-
vile, thence to Eugene, to Portland, and
then to the East. We predict for it in
Chicago such flattering recognition as
will surprise it's California friends.
At the Clunie Opera-house this even
ing Mr.. Rayner's spirited military
drama, g '''Twixt Love and Duty"
Fred A. Hodgson, representing A. N.
Palmer's "Trilby'' Company, to appear
here on the Goth, is in the city arrang-
ing for the production. Edith Crane is
still with the company, and all the other
members of the original troupe except
that Reuben Fax is the Svengah.
Manager Todd says that there is now
some probability that he will be able
to bring Paderewski here. If that artist
could afford to play in San Diego, he
surely can in this city with twice the
population and a very much larger
circle of music lovers, and Mr.. Todd
being of that opinion, is awaiting
further communications from citizens
on the subject. To-day and tomorrow
ought to bring him many notes of ad-
vice from those who wish the great
Polish pianist to play here.
The dates for the Kimball-Corrine
Opera Comique Company have been
changed for Sacramento to the 18th and
10Th instants.
Milton and Dolly Mobiles have ar
rived in the city for their four-weeks
engagement at the Clunie Opera-house,
and Immediately Mr.. Mobiles began re-
hearsing the Hallett troupe in his
comedy, Love and Law" During the
engagement Of Mr.. Mobiles the stage and
production Of the pieces will be under
his personal supervision. The appear
ance of these clever and popular stars
will undoubtedly prove a strong at
traction to theater-goers particularly
as they have never played to such low
prices as 10 cents, 20 cents and 80 cents.
The production Of Love and Law" will
be complete in every detail, both as re-
CARDS the cast and scenery. Scenic
artists have been at work now two
weeks on sets for the Mobiles engage
ment and all the plays viii be mounted
with entirely new scenery and fittings.

Before the National Convention.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The United
Press is able tonight to announce pos
itively that Senator Quay of Pennsyl-
vania has consented to permit his name
to go before the Republican National
Convention at st. Louis. The Senator
is now in the hands of his friends, and
his prominence as a factor in the race
will depend upon their efforts.
It is understood that the Senator has
full knowledge of this statement. For
several days he has been besieged by
his friends and the members of the del
egation from his State to permit them
to announce him as their candidate,
but thus far he has declined to give his
consent. After considering the matter
carefully, that consent was given this
afternoon, and Mr.. Quay's personal
friends and lieutenants throughout the
State were doubtless notified of the
facts at once. Mr.. Quay himself de-
clined tonight to be interviewed.

No Confirmation of the Report of the
Appointment of Father Grace.
As yet no news has come either af-

Rev. Father Grace has been selected
and confirmed Bishop of this Catholic
diocese.
1t is proper to state that Father
Grace has repeatedly stated that he
does not desire to wear the Bishops
robes and responsibilities. He says the
priesthood absorbs his entire time and
his whole attention 1t is a work to
which he is SO devoted that he does not
wish to abandon it for higher station.

has been missing since two weeks ago

He had been drinking very heavily for

that he may have committed suicide.

many years have had experts going
over the books, but thus for no inn
portant discrepancies have been found,

AMERICAN SEAMEN.

From the rcIost of the United States
year the gratifying fact is made apparent
that there has been a considerable in
crease in the number of native Americans
who have enlisted in the navy. This gives
all the more satisfaction. because until a
few years ago by far the larger proper
ton of the crews of or naval vessels was
made up of aliens Successive Secretaries
OF the Navy hal pointed out to Congress
the embarrassing IL not grave Consequences
that might flow fgom such a condition Of
affairs in case this country si-oIld become
involved in war with a foreign powert
These representations have had the effect
OF inducing Congress TO increase the pay
and otherwise improve the conditions sur
rounding the American Jack Tars. As a
result of this change the latter oonsti-
tutc now so per cent OF the sailors of tile
navy.
Like Improvement is noted In regard to
to the personnel of the American merchant
marine. Heretofore the American contin-
gent of the sailors on merchantmen has al
ways been in the minority, but during the
last fiscal year it forged ahead, and is re-
ported as numerically the strongest The
shipping commissioners report shows that
the ships during the year from all ports
showed OF American-born sailors 81 ,sS1;
scandinavians, 20.952; British, 1921;
German, 1888; Italian, 1906; Portu-
guese, ,190, and French, 751. The plu.
rality, it is true, is not much, but il shows
at least a beginning of what is hoped will
prove regeneration OF the American ma
rne. Whatever can be done through leg
islation to induce the hardy seafarlng
men of the United States To cutter the navy,
should be done without delay, for the i'm
portance of manning American war vessels
with natives OF the United States cannot
be overestimated.
Secretary Herbert has been especially
soiicitous regarding this matter, and many
of the reforms, thanks to which the num-
ber of Americans has increased in the ere VS.
of our naval vessels, are due to his activity
and care. Though much has been done,
however, a great deal remains to be accom-
plished, and the good work should be kept
up until no alien need be accepted as sea-
man on an American man-of-war

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

tits to he supposed thatthe Commissioner
in their annual report to the President
will again recommend such increase of the
fire department as IS warranted by the
circumstances, and by the fact that their
suggestions in this respect were not fully
carried out by Congress at the last session.
The District is not nearly equipped in this

are needed, and. OF course, more apparat tus

tioDs washington, being the capital of

effective work. But its equipment is not
sufficient If serious conflagrations should
break out simultaneously in different parts
of the city. 1t will not do to say that such
thing is not likely TO happen for 1t has
happened, and. besides, it is always the
SO very long ago that q fire ragged in tile
business portion of the city and nearly ali
the engines had TO be brought into action
to prevent even greater destruction of
property than took place. There should
be apparatus enough for such eventu-
alities, and at the same time no part of the
city should be entirely deprived of protec-
ton. The outlay would be comparatively
small, for the interests to be guarded are
too important to be slighted.

rHEsuBMARINE TELEPHONE.

Just as the submarine telegraph followed
the overland, SO the submarine telephone
is following in the wake OF its terrestrial
prototype. Stupendous as the undertake
ing TO converse with man on the other
side of the Atlantic Ocean may seem,
it should not excite overmuch SURPRISE
for it was to have been expected that hu-
man ingenuity would not rest until all the
possibilities of the phone had been cx-
plotted. Strange TO say, this enlargement
of telephone communication is not due to
an American, but to a Russian electrician
with the euphonious patronymic of Kildi-
wsky, resident of Odessa. In re-
cent trial of his invention between Mos
cow and Rostoff, a distance Of nearly 800
and yet speech, music and singing were
distinctly heard. The inventor is going
to London to experiment from there with
his device on the transatlantic cables.
After what has been already accomplished
with the long-distanee telephone on land.
we should be prepared for an apparatus
that will enable US to talk to our friends
dtTOSS tHe waiter Dt SitulluT IledDS.
When the telephone was first broachcd
people pooh poohed the idea; yet today it
has become not only a commercial con-
venience, but a necessity, and plays an
important partin the economy of the house
hold. When, twenty-five years ago, Ed
ison brought his first photograph to Wash
ington and exhibited / t in one of the COM
mittee rooms OF the House of Representa-
tives il was declared to be useless in
vention. The men who pronounced that
judgm ent have had occasion since to re-
yise their opinion. SO it will ke with the
submarine telephone, but In view of what
has been accomplished in the field of cleo
tricity within the past quarter of a CEN
tury the doubters will be less forward
After all it is only question of strong
er current and more delicate instrument.
No doubt need be entertained that the ap-
parent obstacles will be overcome, and when
the Paris exposition Is opened in the year
1900, the voice OF the President OF the
United States ray he heard in Paris de-
Hvering the congratulations OF the Amer
