They Opened Weeks Engagement
at the Academy Last Night.


Sorse Payton and his company open
ed u weeks engagement at the Acad-
emy of Music last night before an aud
ience that was large Notwithstanding
the very disagreeable weather. The
drama selected for the opening per-
formance was THE Partisan Princess

lever in the serious q disciple of
| lightness and light and if he had his
way would make Hamlet" as laugh
provoking as The Private Secretary"
| AS u work Of dramatic art "The
| Partisan Princess" could be improved d
upon but Mr.. Payton has so served It
up for the public that Its original short
| comings have in a way been lost sight
| of. He introduces plenty of comedy into
| it as well as singing and dancing
specialties that are really clever and
| the waits between acts are robbed of
! their tediousness by a stereoptican ex-
| hibitiun. The stage settings and seen
| cry are the most elaborate ever shown
in this city by Il popular priced com
pany and add not q little to the i'm
preston the performance makes on the
audience.
The company supporting Mr.. Pay
| ton is Il good one. In 1t are Eta Reed
Minnie Stanley, Charles Mortimer, Will
liam Howatt and Charles Fl. Nc
Creary.
Last nights performance appealed
strongly to the theatre-goer who want
to be amused and that ii was enjoyed
| was best evidenced by the warm ap-
plause that greeted the efforts of th4
artists on the stage. There. will be a
matinee every afternoon this week
This afternoon the bill will be Camille

Alderman Wright yesterday dis
missed the charge of embezzlement pre-
ferred against Commission Merchant
A. s. Cleveland by Frank McDermott, a
shipper, of Phillipsburg, N. d..
The prosecutor alleged that he
shipped Cleveland a quantity of apples
and that the defendant failed to turn
over 5000 of the proceeds. At the hear
ing it developed that instead of en-
bezzlement 1t was nothing more than a
dispute in the account and the charge
was consequently dismissed.
A settlement between the parties was

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet.
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs.is for sale by all drug
gists in 80 cent bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

NEVER REPEAT IT
Senators Discuss the Interview
Which Minister De LONE
Gave Out.
This One Excused by the Stress
of Affairs, but Must Not Be
Repeated.
No Disposition to Attach Any
Importance to the Riots
in Spain.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Cuban
question continues to be drawing
card in the senate, attracting large
crowds
AS soon as the journal had been read
Mr.. Lodge (Rep., Mass. rose to ques-
tion of personal privilege. He said he
had read on Sunday an interview at.
tributed to Senior Dupuy de LONE OF
Spain. There was nothing singular in
this fact, as the Spanish minister COM
municated largely through the news
papers. But in this case the minister
called in question the accuracy of
statement made by him Mr.. Lodge.)
A Difference in Translat on.
The senator sent to the desk and had
read the minister's reference to Mr..
Lodges utterance, calling in question
the translation of a statement attrlb-
uted to General Weyler, in which the
latter declared that he would ''exter-
inmate" the insurgents. Mr.. Lodge
commented on the exactness OF the
translation, and said that literal rem
dering of General Weyler's language
would be that he would ''clean OUT
large insurgent bands and 'extermi-
nate'' the small ones. Mr.. Lodge said
he did not wonder at the extreme sensl-
tiveness of the Spanish people, but he
did not think this proved any excuse
for the Spanish minister in, adopting
the course he had The senator added
most emphatic protest against public
comment by any diplomatic representa-
tive on the debates in congress. The
constitution protected senators for Ian
guage used in debate. 1t was one of
the safeguards of free speech.
should Not be Over Nice
Mr.. Gray Dem. Del. said the course
of the United States should proceed
according to the Judgment of self
respecting nation, unmoved by the
emuetes at Valencia or Madrid, and
without being turned aside to discuss
question of translation between a
senator and minister.
With the present stress of circum-
stances we should not be over nice in in
sisting on diplomatic proprieties and in
finding fault with'the minister in view
of what had been said in the senate.
Would Pardon This Offense.
Mr.. Teller Rep, Colo. said the rule
was unvarying against the communica-
ton by foreign minister, except |
through the state department. There
should be no comment by a foreign |
minister He should not be heard at
all, except in the regular channels.
Twice had foreign ministers been sent
home for statements of less importance
than this.
"But considering the circumstances,
added Mr. Teller, "had I been in au-
thority, I would not have sent him
home for this offense, but would have
had the secretary Of state in most
kindly way, suggest that repetition of
the offense would lead to his going
home
