THE EXTRA SESSION.

Very Little Accomplished Save the Enact
ment Of the Dineley Law.
WASHINGTON, July 28.-The extraor-
dinary session Of congress which has
just closed was called by President Nc
Kinley two days after he took the oath
of Office. It met in pursuance to his
proclamation at noon March Is. The
special message transmitted by him to
both houses on the opening day was
brief. It explained the deficiencies in
the revenues, reviewed the bond issues
of the last administration and urged
congress promptly to pass the tariff bill.
No other subject Of legislation was mem
toned in the message, and the tariff
bill has been the all.absorbing feature OF
the session.
Tariff BIZ Prepared in Advance.
The Republican members Of the ways
and means committee Of the preceding
house had been at work throughout the
short session, which ended March 4,
giving hearings and preparing the bill
which was to be submitted at the extra
session. Three days after the session
opened the tariff bill was reported to
the house by the ways and means com.
mittee, and IS days later. March 81,
1897, It passed the house.
Il went to the senate, was referred to
the committee on finance and the Re-
publican members Of that committee
spent month and three days in its
consideration and in preparing the
amendments which were submitted to
the senate May ., and exactly two
months later, July 2, it passed the sen.
ate with 627 amendments.
Ten Days I'm Conference.
The bill then went to conference,
where after 10 days struggle on July
~, complete agreement was reached
BY which the senate receded from 118
amendments and the house from 511.
The others, 248 in number, were com.
promised. The conference report was
adopted by the house July 10 at the con.
cluaion Of ~ hours continuous debate.
The report was taken up in the senate
July 20 and adopted July "a. The tariff
bill was signed by the president the
same day.
Congress did not devote it, attention
entirely to the tariff, though it did sub.
ordinate everything else to this one
measure.

ness OF the finale
The Sun thinks a better company mig ht
have been organized in New York and
says the play Is classible as d melodrama:
"Ils incidents of ordinary theatrical value
are only two or three-the stealing of a
little child from its father by its disgraced
mother, the recovery OF the dead body of
the child by the father after il had been
killed in the struggle for po session, and
the assassination OF the mothers para
mour by the single stroke OF a hatchet
welded by the fathers hand. These things
are nne in the teraf manner of Ibsen n
and Maeterlinck, boldly and grimly. Win
out iiiustrat adj djuncts and the creation of
what is commonly called atmosphere
the play would make no deep i'm preston"
Considering the other piece, the same
critic writes: THE actors made of "a

really reprehensibIe character may say

American plays of the first rate can be
found to make comfortable seasons for his

Mr.. Frohman has long held monopoly

Speaking of American dramatists, ii is
sad TO note that one OF .he best of the N,
Augustus Thomas, has taken to boiling

many weeks, Mr.. Thomas has been repre-
sented at the Colum bia by new plays which
do not do him proud. His latest venture

dote against the gaudy Tenderloinism of
Don't Tell Her Husband" but it
detracts from his reputation as an i'm
portant play writer. 1t sounds again
in careless paraphrase the notes of In

beauty and distinction of that master
piece. Mr.. Thomas seems TO have no rev.

Mr.. Frohman says he prefers London
for his American productions. What will
London say about thisP In London there
are many kinds of theaters. There is q
theater there presided over by Henry
Irving, another managed by Charles
Wyndham, another In the hands of Beer
BONN Tree. Thes- three, and other smaller
ones, have made playgoing pleasure Bile
for ilterate men and women. These men
are managers in the true sense-as en-
thusiastic in their art as the often mised
Richard Mansfield is in his. They are
cultivated actor m anagers of the first rate
who have the frs. call on the master
pieces or what are intended to be the
masterpieces, of the living English
dramat1sts. Mr.. Frohmans enterprises
will not cope with those of the men
l have mentioned. He has had the
big plays of England for American
production, but he will not get Them for
production in England. even though he is

The little company at the AlcaZar will

pieces that ever came into the hands of
Charles Frohman: William Gillette's TOO
Much Johnson" a farce which the author
played at the Baldwin season before
last, anC which, for plain farce of the
best order, has never been surpassed.
The story might be called the hu-
morous tragedy of liar. Bill i.
ings, the central character, is the most
fluent prevarcator that ever trod the
boards. He crosses the sea on raft buIlt
OF lies, and when this sinks he walks Sc
~enely on the water as in miracle. But
this is metaphor. TOO Much Johnson"
demands clever stage management, for
much of its fun is purely situational. The
stage management has been attended to
by George E. Lask, who knows his busi-
ness. The scenes of the interior of The
steamship and the Cuban plantation have
been painted here.

York.
The last Empire season was a bad one
because the plays were not entiCing. The
B nefit of the Doubt was abnormally
Pinerotic; "Bohemla" was loose adapta-
ton OF Murger's Quarter Latin classic
that had been put on in New York to
catch the tail end of tue "Trilby" fad, and
The Mas0ueraders" was a wild. melo-
dramatic sermon by Jones' abominably
acted. Leave the acting out of ques-
tion-it was good in the first two pieces
the season fell fat because the plays were
poor.
Mr.. Frohman touches gently on the
recent Crane season, saying be had TO pay
Crane extra money 10 get nlm 10 make
the coast trip. Cranes failure was due to
a bad play and bad management. The
second Monday of his engage ment saw
the premiere OF "a Virginia Courts ip, !"

things which other authors had written
so mem orably that even the darkened
playgoer of to-day could put MS finger on
everv scene in the piece and say "Sheri-
dan!" or "BoucicauItI' or "Knowlesr'
with unerring truth. And IN the face of
ridicule and small houses this stage
manager dream was permitted to run

lar thing OF Cranes Iiie-which had been

Mr. Frohman is neither an Augustin
DaIy nor a Richard Mansfield. With him
arr is an reconsideration; he deals in
plays and players as he might deal in dry
goods or eggs. He is never deliberately

theme of the drama. The ludicrous strug-
