The principal dramatic event of the
week is to be the reproduction in this
city of Edwin Milton Royle's delightful
American society comedy drama,
Friends" at the Metropolitan Theater
Thursday, May 7th. When this charm
ing story of modern chivalry was orig
inally produced here after its famous
long run at the Standard Theater, New
York. it scored a decided artistic sue
cess, which has been duplicated in all
the principal cities, where it has been
seen over 1000 times. On Friday, May
Sth, will be produced for the first time
Edwin Milton Royle's second success:
the picturesque romantic comedy, Cap
tain Impudence," formerly Mexico"
In both plays Selena Felter Royle will
appear She is accorded by all the
critics the credit of fine ability and
charming presence. Mr.. Royle, the au-
thor of the two plays, is well and favor
ably known here both as an actor and
playwright. His comedy drama
Friends" has been given here twice
before, and on each occasion was COM
plimented by very large audiences. Mr..
Royle is an earnest and dignified young
student, and by the experience gained
since his first success we may naturally
look forward with interest to the sec
ond play from his clever pen, especially
as the new production has scored an
immediate hit in every city where it has
been produced In San Francisco the
management was compelled to extend
the enga cement to three weeks, so great
was the popular demand to see Cap
tain Impudence." The piece deals with
the love affairs of two soldiers, one ell
derly and pompous, the other young and
dashing. 1t is a play worthy of more
than passing notice because of its
strength and its originality. Ever since
the success of Shenandoah number
of war plays have been put before the
public, and if the latter looks on one
having that claim with some trepida
tion it can hardly be blamed after its
experiences. Captain Impudence," in
one sense, is a war play, but it does not
depend for its success on that score. 1t
is, we are assured, intensely human,
and therefore interesting. The culmin-
alton of the second act is one of the
strongest climaxes that has been pro-
duced on the stage for a good many
years.
The story deals with incidents in the
lives of the soldiers in the Mexican war.
The first act is brimful of comedy, gen
uine, health comedy of sound, bluff
Americans. The audience is not trou-
bled in this play with abstract PROPOSE
tions in sociology. The second act is
more dramatic. The war feeling is in
the air. and the love-making is inter-
rupted for more pressing business.
Trouble falls from every side, but be-
fore the strain reaches too high a ten
sion the climax is reached, and such
climax as one but seldom sees these

goes, appointed to a cure in a romantic

been selected for the cavalry, thought
himself entitled to give himself airs.
Especially he set himself to disconcert
the young priest, whose garb he ridi-
culed and whose sense of propriety he
tried to outrage by noisy oaths and ri
bald songs But the young "vicare"
did not seem to mind; he in his turn
told good stories which set everybody
ughing-everybody,- that is, except
the embryo horseman. He, to disgust
the priest and raise his character with
his comrades, began to boast of his
own incredible wickedness. You can
not mention a sin that I have not COM

the priest had fairly won the wager,

''How Women Love" is the rather pc

author attempts to present by romance

idea is historical or a psychological

Friends of Hammond Will See Kreu-

WASHINGTON, May 2.-F. w. Jewell
and wife, of johannesburg, and Attor-
ney Trestow, accompanied by Senator
White. called on the president today re-
garding the case of John Hays HAM
mond Mrs. and Mr.. Jewell are going di
rect to Capetown to intercede with Presi-
dent Kruger in behalf of Hammond,
and will carry the congressional petition
started by Senator Stewart. Jewell said
to the president that the first thing Presi
dent Kruger would ask would be, had
they see the President of the United
States, and they desired to assure him
they had. Mr.. and Mrs Jewell are we'll
acquainted with President Kruger and
wife. President Cleveland was Interested
in what they said and expressed his APP
probation of President Kruger and his
ability to cope with the affairs arising
in his country He also expressed the hope
that the mission OF Mr.. and Mrs. Jewell
be successful.
Although Mr.. and Mrs. Jewell's sym
pathes We're wholly with President Krue
ger and tine Beers in their conflict with
DR.. Jameson's raiders and the Uitlanders'
demonstrations, they regarded Mr.. Ham
mond as victim of circumstances. His
connection with the rising Of the. enemies
of the Boer government, they allege, was
brought about by Farrar Philips, Rhodes
and Leonard, the leaders of the Uitland-
ers. Mr.. Jewell says that the real objects
of the movement were purposely kept a
secret from Hammond. Mr.. and Mrs.

Kruger and say the people of this coun-
try seem to have very wrong opinion of
the character of this Boer. He is not an
ignorant ruler of ignorant people, but,
they say, one of the foremost statesmen
of the day-liberal, patriotic, public Spir-
tied and in keen sympathy with every
movement looking to the advancement
and education of his people. He has
proper appreciation of the dignity of his
Office and the impression that he is care
less in his personal appearance and man
ners is stated to be entirely without foun-
dalton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jewell say that the Beers
will never again submit to the British
Entertainments and if necessary will fight
to the last. Mr. Jewell came to this coun-
try on private business, but upon his ar
rival he learned of the sentence imposed
upon his friend Hammond and at once set
to work to render him, if possible, some
assistance. He and Mrs. Jewell will sail
next Tuesday for the Transvaal.

His Career Ended.

NEW YORK, May "A special to

There seems to be no possible way

Statement For the Week Shows an
Expansion.

Statement For the Week Shows an
Expansion.
NEW YORK, May 2-The New York
Financier says this week: The state
ment of the associated banks of New
York for the week ending May 2 shows
expansion. The statement is good one
viewed from one standpoint, but it in
dicates that money rates cannot be
maintained at anything like the record
made SO far this year. unless a sudden
check is put on movement of currency
to this point.
This of course is not to be expected.
as the outlook favors a continued heavy
accumulation of funds at New York.
The withdrawal of over S3,000,000 from
the depository banks by the treasury
is not expected to have much influence
on strengthening rates. The shipment
of 81, 200, 900 specie Saturday in view OF
decline of rates was very moderate and
the continued inflow OF currency at
present may cause heavier shipments
unless new features not considered
probable now are met with. The ex-
pansion of loans which begun several
weeks ago, still continues, and as rates
decline the volume becomes larger.
The increase for the past week brings
the total to $470, 663, 800 an expansion
of about 100000, the low point
reached February last when the banks
had curtailed business as far as posi-
BILE in preparing for the bond loan. The
effect of the inflow of currency is
seen in the gain of s4,1sS,5O0 made by
the banks during the week despite the
fact that one and one-half millions were
paid into the treasury and as much
more Withdrawn by gold exporters.
The only Interpretation to be put
upon the statement is that unless infiu-
enced by outside conditions the ruling
rates for funds cannot advance.
