AT THE CAPITOL
Receptions to Admira1s
Beardslee and Miller.
Minister Hatch With the Cabinet,
Examines the Japanese
Correspondence.

Yesterday was a busy day at the
Capitol, for besides being the regular
meeting day of the Cabinet, there was
a greeting TO be given Minister Hatch
on his return home, and Goodbye
and how dye do for Admirals Boards
lee and Miller. This latter function
was to have taken place earlier in the
week, but was postponed on account of
the illness of President Dole.
This call was made at II o'clock, and
there were present the American Min
lister, Admiral Beardslee and staff and
Admiral Miller and staff. The recep-
ton took place in the great hall Be
sides President Dole and staff, there
were Ministers Cooper, Damon and
King. Minister Smith did not attend,
for the reason that he was engaged in
court until few minutes before the
arrival of the guests, and as Minister
Hatch was in the Acknowledgement S
department, he spent the time with
him.
Immediately after the reception, the
Cabinet Ministers met the President
and Minister Hatch in the President S
room. The meeting was almost inform
al, no matters of Importance being dis
cussed.
Just after lunch Minister Hatch re-
turned to the Foreign Office and called
for the correspondence in the japanese
immigration affair. He remained clos
eted with Minister Cooper for some
time
During a brief interval, Mr.. Hatch
was asked by a reporter regarding the
issuing of a register to the China
He promptly replied that he knew
nothing about it. When asked if he
had not investigated the case and rec
commended that the register be grant
ed he replied that he did not care to
discuss the matter, as it was not in
his department. Mr.. Hatch declined tC
talk for publication on any matters OF
particular interest to the public. His
appearance is the same as when he left
here for Washington a little over two
years ago, and however great may have
been the responsibilities of his office
in Washington, Time has dealt gently
with him.

QUAKER CITY POLITICS.
Serious Conclusions OF the Legislative In
vestigating Committee In Philadelphia.

Harrisburg, May 5.-The report %
The senate committee appointed i'm May
1895, to investigate the operations Of the
law known as the Bullitt bill, under
which the city of Philadelphia is gov
erned, was presented to the senate by
Chairman Andrews. The report finds
that the policemen and firesnen of Phil
adelphia directly and openly interfere
with and intimidate voters. 1t de-
clares that subordinate members of the
police force protect lottery and policy
dealers and alleged sellers OF liquor
from arrest. City contracts for street
lighting, street cleaning and other city
work, the report says, are awarded
among a favored few. who avoid COM
petition I'm bidding by having the city
work divided into sections. and those
who are alleged to be in the combina-
tion have a prior understanding as to
which particular section each is to en-
ter bid for.
The provisions Of the law in regard to
the civil service system, the report
says, are deficient in theory and prac-
tice and are woefully abused by those
having the appointing power.
on the question of political assess
ments, the report says II is the prac-
tice TO collect money from the employees
of the city for political purposes.
The passage by the Philadelphia city
council of an ordinance granting GER
tain valuable franchises TO the Mutual
Automatic Telephone company, and
which ordinance was subsequently re-
called and repealed after charges had
been publicly made that it's passage
had been FASTENED by the presentation
of shares of the company's stock to In
huentlal politicians. is referred to at
some length by the committee.
The report in this connection says
that ex-National Committeeman David
Martin and ex-City Chairman Charles
A. Porter both appeared before the
committee Of city councils and denied
all knowledge Of or connection with
the Mutual Automatic Telephone COM
pany and denied that they held any
stock. but admitted that they had
heard that stock was put In their
names. They said the stock was put in
their names without their knowledge
or consent.
The committee recommends the adop-
tion Of legislation which will prevent
the giving away Of valuable fran
chises and submit four bills with the
report which are intended to prevent
in the future the abuses variously re-
ferred TO in the report.

Pittsburg Post
IT is some comfort to the lovers of the
legitimate and I1ealthful drama that a new
actor has appeared in London, of Shak-
spearean parts, who has created a great
stir in the dramatic world by an extraordi-
nary revelation of hitherto unsupported his
trfonic power This is Mr.. Forbes Robert
son. Hitherto he has not ranked as a really
great actor, but his appearance as Hamlet
and his wonderfully able presentation of
that complex character is the sensation of
the day. and revelation 10 the critics. The
noted dramatic writer's for the leading Lon
don papers declare he exceeds Irving or
Tree. and other British favorites. Clement
Scott the first or critics, writes that Rob-
ertson is 1.-THE most human, the most nat
ural, and in temperament the most lovable
of all the Hamlets of our time, English
French Italian or German" Other leading
dramatic writer's hold the same view, each
dilating on special excellences of the per-
formances, and that, as whole, Mr.. Rob-
ertson's Hamlet is the best of generations,
ranking with Kenlbes and kean's- Mr.
SCOTS criticism concludes with these en-
couraging words as to the future of the
drama:
The silly cry has gone forth that the
drama which appeals to the mind is dead,
and that its constituency is disfranchised.
1t is untrue. If ii we're not so, no young
Hamlet could appeal to an audience that
literally hung upon every word and sem
tence, and would not allow murmur or
whisper to interfere with that supreme ST.
lence OF interest on which the popular actor
commented with thanks when all was over
The drama that is dead is the drama of
sublimated conceit. Yes; there are students
OF the higher drama, students of Shak-
speare, students OF the greatest tragedy and
philosophical treatise ever written Lucky
the students of 1897 to be able to boast in
the long after years that they first studied
Hamlet at the feet of such a scholar and
artist, such a natural actor and charming
elocuttonist as Forbes Robertson"

water would dissolve and with a hyperdSr-
mic syringe a few drops of the solution
were injected under the skin. About an inch
from the center of the injection another was
made and then another. until the limb was
girdled by them at the place where ii was

portion of the leg. including three or four

and the operation of cutting off the limb
was proceeded with exactly as If the pa
tent were under chloroform. When the
deeper tissues were cut into a slight smart
ing sensation was experienced a few times
by the patient. This was Immediately re-
lieved by the application Of little more Of
the solution directly TO the seat of the dis
comfort. No other pain was experienced.
The operation was performed in the fore
noon, and an hour after the dressing of the
stump the patient was sitting up in bed eat
ing dinner. At the end of nine DAYS the
dressings were removed, the stitches taken
out, and the stump was found to be entirely
heaIed. The patients general health has
much improved since the opera ton.

Iondon Mail.

London Mail.
The old custom of presenting a fitch OF
bacon to couples who can swear that they
have "ne'er made nuptial transgression
since they were made man and wife, was
observed at Dummow yesterday. seven
couples had put in q. claim, but this number
was weeded down to two, the claimants, as
previously stated in these columns, being
Mr.. and Mrs. Josiah Lambert, OF Ishngton
who have been married hfty-one years
and Mr.. and Mrs. George Taylor or Lelgns,
near Chelmsford, who have been welded
a year and two months. The judge was
Mr.. Frank Hamilton, and Mr.. Llnsell, VINO
appeared for the claimants, was opposed
by Mr. r. Gibbons, Mr.. j. Hamilton act
ing in the capacity of clerk of court
According to custom, the jury was COM
posed of twelve maidenS dressed in white,
and twelve youths. The flrsS claim coming
under the notice of the court was that or
the elder couple and in opening the case or
these Mr.. Linsell said ne was sure the jury
would agree that Mr.. Lambert was second
to none in his devotion 10 MS Wire Recent
Nv his client had sent jubilee ode to the
Queen, and among the replies he had re-
ceived for similar tributes to royalty was a
kindly letter from the Duke of York.
Counsel was proceeding to refer TO the
calling of certain witnesses when Mr. CID
hons objected. Such a thing, he said, mad
never before been known in the history OF
ny The Judge said that as it was jubilee year
he would allow one witness, and Mr.: Lir0
sell after thanking his lordsh1p. pro-
ceeded to sketch the history OF the claim
In the course of her examination, Mrs.
lambert said her maiden name was Nor
man. Mr. Gibbons, the opposing counsel,
said It was true Mr. Lambert used TO write
noetry to her, but to ascribe the following
lines to him was, said COUNSEL, altogether
too bad:
Oh. lovely Mary Norman,
My love for you's a warm 'un
loud Iaughter.) Tt was true, however,
that during the jubilee he sent the follow
ing verse to the Queen:
Ruled by Sovereign capacity,
Through sixty long years with sagacity,
She strove to be wise, she resolved to De
good,
Much spIendor, she said, before me I see.
But there's much more responsibilities
(Roars of laughter.)
With the claimant writing such poetry,
could husband and wife live peaceably to-
gether? Mr. Gibbons asked It was inn
possible on the face of it. The jury, how
ever, thought otherwise, and awarded the
fitch to Mr. and Mrs. Lambert amid loud
cheers. The second fitch was presented to
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor after short but
merry trial
The sentence having been passed, the
Judge and jury paraded through the field
and along the village in a large motor car.
Pony races and various other holiday time
amusements filed up the remainder OF
very pleasant day.
