Guns Are Needed at Once.

probably they will not-the government
has gone about any preparation for such
a contingency in the most leisurely fashion.
In fact, we could hardly be less prepared
to fight if there were no such things IN the
world as hostile fleets and guns that can
throw shells distance of eight to eleven
miles.
If an individual were to do an act that
might provoke a collision with some one
and be in no wise prepared to defend himself
against an assault. he would be called
fool Between his condition and that Of
the United States in the matter Of guns for
coast defense uses the difference is only one
ia degree, not in kind. The recklessness ofthe
one is no more excusable than would be
that Of the other. Congress had better get
a move on itself" and give Uncle Sam the
guns he needs or may need.

When Thomas Q Seabrooke deserted the
comic opera field for that OF legitimate
comedy there was hardly q dissenting
voice from the verdict that he would be
unsuccessful.
This opiEion was based not On any doubt
OF Mr.. SCabroOke's ability, hut on the idea
that the public would refuse to receive him
in any character but that of Il comic opera
comedian. Until he struck The Spectator
lar the comedian was almost forced to
believe his friends were right in their pre-
dictons. Since the production OF The
Spectacular" however, tie verdict has
been reversed, aad, as is generally the
CTIsc, those who were loUdeSt in their pre-
diction OF failure are now the heartiest in
their declarations that they told YOU So"
He produced the amusing play at the
Lafayette Square Opera House last night

Chicago Board of Trade. John Fullerton
/ & Son and Henry Duncan are rival brokers
| in an extensive wheat deal. Duncan has
| for twenty years been Cndea voring TO cor
ncr'' Fullerton. ana it looks Us though he
! was finally TO he successful.
| Fullerton's son, who is also his partner,
started the corner on wheat against his

! decides to show his appreciation of his
sons business judgment and decides to go
! through with the deal. incidentally Dun
/ cans daughter is in love with Fullerton,
| jr., and her love is reciprocated by the
! young man. The deal is such Il large one
! that whichevcrside wins means the complete
| ruin Of the rival concern. Fullerton, jr.,
! realizes this aud is aware that whether
I his firm wins or loses il will prove fatal TO
his love affair. His business judgment
! forces nim TO fight ii ont TO the bitter

wheat rises to so and Fullerton X Son
| have defeated their rival and made a hand

4 scene which is particularly interesting
! is that in the second act which shows the
| two rival brokers offices with tiCkcrs re-
| ceiving tue quotations. 1t is really one of
the most exciting scenes ever seen on the
stage.
MIR. Seahrooke is exceptionally clever
and amusing as Fullerton, and his com
pany is quite capable. Particularly good
are Atkins Lawrence and Sydney Booth
and jeanette Lowre.

Senator HOaT cones along and gives
two gentle little pushes; so does Senator
Cuion. Senator Vest pushes - out of

Senator CockrcIl has five rings. It's
quite trick sometimes to get this Varticu-

The other day one OF The messenger boys

Mr.. John Hare made his Washington
debut last night at the New National Thea
ter. His welcome was creditable alike to
himself and to Washington. An audience
Of handsome cumulative and qualitative
values greeted him.
Mr. Hare is q pet in London-So we are
told. 1t is not hard to believe it, eS-
peciaily if he treats his friends and patrons
to charming little evenings, such as his
entertainment last night proved for those
present.
He came modestly. There was no dis
play of flamboyant printing no great prom
ises; no sham. 1t was tact in more ways
than one. Had great expectations been
aroused there might have been disappoint-
ment Under the circumstances there was
none. The people were told that q good
actor whose home is in London, was to
provide an enjoyable performance. He
kept his word.
Mr.. Hare is not an extraordinary actor.
Some things in his style could be improved
but as whole there is only to be said
that he will please you in score OF ways.
Without reminding you of Ed. Holland or
Felix Morris, or w. j. Ferguson, he is of
their style. Although he stars himself, he
directs his company after stock company
methods and suhdues himself to perfect
harmony with his surroundings.
His vehicle OF introduction was Sydney
GruDdy's "A Pair of SpectaCles." 1t is
play that should be seen oftener. Every
one ought TO give himself he pleasant
diversion Of looking upon the lesson OF
amiability and goCdhearteduess. If the
playwrights only listened for the continued
laughter, and looked upon the happy faces
among the auditors, then studied the reason
in the wholesomeness of this amusing
comedy and patterned after it, great step
would have been taken in the much-diS-
cussed career OF Anne rican drama. a
trifle uDli kelly is it, perhaps, but it
bristles with bits OF nature, recognized
in the life of everyone.
The play is refreshing as June roses
after the murky atmosphere OF the prob
lem plays. There is praisewortby moral
to 1t and no sermon ever gave one better
or more acceptably.
Benjamin Goldfinch was played by Mr..
Hare. 1t Is his original cha racter, be
having played it when Sidney GruDdy's
version of Labiehe and Delacour's comedy
was first put on the English stage. He
acts the part with unoStentatious methods,
be is quiet and direct, and very amusing.
The loving and lovable old gentleman, whose
focus on life goes wrong temporarily, is a
character that warns the heart and
makes OF everyone personal friend.
Charles Groves was also seen In his
original character. His is the unsympa-

Sweet voiced Andrew Mack, in "Myles
Aroon," made his bow before a good
sized audience at the Academy OF Music
last night. This is Mr.. Mack's second en-
gagement here this season and his many
friends and admirers turned out in force
10 greet him. The play is one of those
clever Irish comedies. full of witty hits and
comic situations, which keep the audience
continually in good humOr.
There are Il good many characters in
short trousers who wear vClveteen coats
and carry heavy sticks. They don't count
for much in the action of the play and
their principal business seems to he to get

Since the matter OF granting recognition
to the Cuban beliigerents has come TO
focus in Congress, our Spanish friends in
Spain and Cuba have become exceedingly
hysterical over their trade relations with
the United States. They have preambled
and resolved to break off all commercial
intercourse with US and one board o. trade
has importuned another board OF trade to
boycott Uncle Sam. In all this turmoil Il
is amusing TO observe that the chamber of
commerce of Havana, while sympatbiLng
entirely and profoundly with the senti-
ments expressed by the chamber of another
town. declined for the present TO commit
itself to any policy Of boycouing this
country.
Perhaps the leading members of The
Havana chamber of commerce studied some
figures and then made known their de-
termination. 1t is altogether probable
that they had in their minds the respective
exports from the United States to Spain
and Cuba, and imports from those countries
into ours. During the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1895, we exported TO Spain, in
round numbers, SlI, 900 900, and TO Cuba

The South Before the War" filled Ker-
mans Will! good Old Southern melody and
plantation songs last night. There was
singing and dancing galore by the real
article and glimpse of the scenes and
incidents of negro life among the cotton
fields and the cabins.
The performance has been seen here
several times before and the proof that
it is a popular one was fully evidenced
by the large audience present. The Camp
Meeting on Frog Island, y introduces some
very realistic scenic effects aud serves
to give the members of the company
chance to introduce singing and dancing
SpccaltieS that are all good and deserve
the applause they receive.
Mr.. Bully Wolf as Eph Cla son, who re-
turns TO his numerous family after long
absence, in the North, gives a realistic
portrayal of the typical old plantation
darky. Billy Williams made an excellent
Aunt Chloe and was as free with his stick
as the Southern nanny usually is. Frank

a total of S56 500 600; balance in favor OF

very serious matter to the merchants of
Spain and Cuba.

will do so, and their business operations aFe
