effects are strikingly picturesque especial
~ in the groupings of the list and I'd acts
Noteworthy is the keenly sympathetic in

innocence and purity, as portrayed by
Miss Leigh, in the character of Vera, in
the struggle, somewhat uneven. however,
against the wilful and marble hearted
mother Lady Dolly, the suspicious OF the
brutal husband Prince Jouroff, and the
intrigues of the malicious Duchess. The
climax is reached in the last act,
when through the unselfish devotion of
Lord Jura, the life of Vera's true friend
Correze, love for whom she is too honest
to deny, is spared to her, even though
it be at the sacrifice and death of an I'M

THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
Several Important Cases Heard Yestsr-
day.

There were several important cases
heard in the Municipal Court yesterday.
Edward Gray was fined $40 and costs
for the larceny of pair of shoes, and
Martin j. Feeney, was fined $50 and costs
for resistance of a police officer, besides
being sentenced to 80 days in Jail for in
toxication.
After the disposal of these cases, Assis-
tant County Attorney Allan appeared to
prosecute Benjamin D. Sullivan, who
is charged with the embezzlement of
money amounting to about $27, from the
f. P. Norton Cigar company of Boston.
r. A. Morey of Lewiston appeared for
Sullivan. Mr.. Norton took the stand and
testified that Sullivan had failed to turn
over to the firm money which he had
collected from parties in. Portland. AT
one time Sullivan acknowledged to wit
ness that he had spent money which he
had collected. Mr.. Norton stated that
Sullivan had been in his employ as a
commercial traveller from the first Of
January to about the middle of May.
Henry D. Rogers, bookkeeper for the
company, presented statements of goods
sold by the respondent and of portions
Of money which he had failed to turn
over to the firm. When Sullivan made
his first report, he was short, but gave the
house a note for the shortage. The GUS
tom of the house was to send check to
Sullivan every week.
\ M. E. Conley of this city stated that
he had business relations with the Norton
company. On March 16 of this year he
paid Sullivan the sum of $l2.
M. J. Devine of Portland identified a
statement showing payments of money
he had made to a salesman named Nc
Glinchy and another man whom he did
not know.
The state announced that it would rest
here. Mr.. Morey at once arose and
moved for the discharge of the prisoner
on the grounds that no case had been
made out by the government. One charge
against Sullivan is that he collected
money from Devine for the Norton COM
pany on November 5. Mr.. Sullivan was
not working for the Norton company at
that time.
Mr.. Allan maintained that ii. had been
clearly proven that Sullivan had embez-
zled money. He had acknowledged that
he had been short and had spent the
money in drink. He had neglected to
render en- account Of the money collected
from Conley. The court was of the opin-
ion that the evidence was not strong
enough to hold Sullivan, who was accord
ingly discharged.
William NJ. Guilford, charged with in
decent assault, was bound over to the
September term of the Superior court in
the sum of $4,000, $500 on charge of rape
and $1,000 on charge of sodomy. Levi
Greenleaf appeared for the respondent,
who waived reading and a hearing.
The required securities were not fur
nished and Guilford was committed to

YALE-HARVARD RUPTURE
PROSPECTS OF A TRUCE GROWING
VERY NHADOWY.

Hitch Arises Over the Fact That n Boat
sisted on an Agreement In All Sports
Yale Has Concluded, it Is Said, to Pro-
Boston, Jan. 20.-The unofficial report
from New Haven that a. rupture has
come in the negotiations between Har-
ward and Yale, and that the New Ha-
ven boys have decided to go ahead with
athletic arrangements with other col
leges without regard to Harvard caus-
ed no little surprise and disappoint-
ment at Harvard tonight.
Professor Beale, the chairman Of the
Harvard athletic committee, was
shown the report and he did not seem
very much surprised. 1t is not impos-
sible that the paper is true, he said.
He stated that he had received an in
timation a week ago that a letter from
New Haven announcing such a stand
No such letter. however, had been re-
ceived at his house. He intimated that
he had almost expected such a move
on 1ale's part, because of the silence
which has followed the last proposition
sent by Harvard about four or five
weeks ago.
Just what this proposition is no one
will tell, for all the members of the
committee have sworn to secrecy.
The essential feature of Harvard s
proposition, however, was probably
that there must be participation in all
sports-for the period Of time stated
or in none.
The hitch in the negotiations has
come through a failure to arrange a
boat race. Harvard must row Cornell
because Of the two-year agreement.
Yale is not disposed to row Cornell and
thus make a three-cornered race.
Harvard is not disposed to row Yale
after having her race with Cornell,
while Yale, on the other hand cannot
Seem to make it possible to row Har-
ward before the Cornell race, which
will very likely be on July 2. Harvard
will not now row two races.
With the hitch thus arising, plans
for baseball and track games have fall
en- fiat, because, for the sake Of con-
sistency with the stand taken at the
time Of the breach, Harvard could not
engage in any sports unless in all Of
them.
Harvard, therefore, has submitted
proposals, and for some weeks has
awaited a reply from New Haven. The
silence has caused many to conjecture
that Yale has decided to seek contests
elsewhere. In about a week the ath-
| letic committee expects to issue an Off
cial statement of the negotiations.

In south Manchester, This state, Said to
be without Foundation.
Hartford, Jan. 2O.-There have been
published lately several sensational
stories declaring that the cocaine habit
prevails alarmingly in South Manches-
ter, in this state, due to the introduce
ton there Of a catarrh snuff contain
ing that substance. The report has
gone all over the country, and has even
led owners of various cures to appear
there to set up sanitariums
Cheney Brothers, who conduct the
silk works, have made careful inquiries
into the matter, and all the physicians
of the town unite in declaring that
there is no such epidemic and that the
published stories are exaggerated. Two
OF the leading doctors say that they
have not seen one cocaine case; an
other says that he has met only three
and they have left town and are cured
The people of South Manchester are
indignant that such reports have gone
over the county about their town, which
is an especially orderly and well behav-
ed community.

THE NIC1RAGUdN CANAL.
Senator Turpie Makes Determined At
tack Upon the Project.

senator lufpie Makes II determined AT
tack Upon the Project.
Washington, Jan. 20.-The senate to-
day resumed It's consideration of the
Nicaragua canal bill and Mr.. Turpie,
dem, Of Indiana, resumed his speech
in opposition to it. He likened the pro-
visions Of the bill to the case Of bogus
mortgages and to the successful looting
Of credulous people by such means.
The operation proposed in the pend
ing BILL he said, differed from the bogus
mortgages case only in the fact that
the canal company, on the face of the
bill, on the face of the treaty charter
and on the face of the reports submit
ted to the senate, admitted that it had
no title to the lands which it proposed
to surrender, that 1t had no interest in
them and it could not transfer them to
any one. The company asked congress,
with its eyes open and knowing that
the security was straw, to give it a
hundred million dollars, guaranteeing
repayment by lien on securities that
We're utterly without value.
Mr.. Turpie asserted that through the
failure of the company to complete
within three years the connecting link
known as the Managua canal, it had
already forfeited everything, had vol
unfairly or negligently abandoned its
concession.
Mr.. Turpie spoke of the San Juan
river, sixty-nine miles of which was
to be utilized as channel There were
four principal rapids, he said, and these
were to be removed and the channel
widened so as to admit the passage of
vessels drawing thirty feet This
would cost $1,975,000, and as estimated
by the government engineers $14, S66, 900,
a difference of nearly $12O00,0 900.
That item showed the enornity of
suppressing practice by the company
Another instance cited by Mr.. Turpie
was the cost of the Ochoa dam, esti-
mated by the company's engineer at
81 900, 900, and by the government en-
gineer at $4,000,000 Such enormous en-
rors, he said, could not have been made
unintentionally and without a motive
of concealment.
Mr.. Turpie also quoted the estimate
of the company's engineers for the
total work as $63,OO0,O0o, and of the
government engineers at $133, ,OOO. 900.
Having spoken for two hours Mr. Tur-
pie closed his remarks for the day. but
declined to promise that he would finish
his speech tomorrow. The bill then
went over.
