Lafayette-E. III. sothern.


An Enemy to the King is the new
play which E. II Sothern brings to the
Lafayette this week on the occasion OF his
tenth annual visit TO Washington. 1t seems
hardly possible that the youthful and at
tractive Sothern is already ten years a
star His return was made an event OF
social Importance by the audience which
greeted bin and he responded, as becomes
the promise his fast offerings have made
for him, with production of merits and
excellencies at every part. Mr.. Stephens
has written good specimen OF romantic
drama, highly Favored with fine comedy,
and strong in earlier opportunities for
beautiful pitcures, of which Mr. Sothern
has made every use, and crescent i'll
dramatic intensity to the brilliant culmina-
tions of the absorbing last act. The stag
ing given the play is in the largest sense
complete and artistic. Mr.. Sothern has
a romantic part, in which he finds perfect
measurement of his fine abilities TO play
soldier and lover. Miss Hampton plays
his sweetheart, and does 1t with sweet anu
sympathetic womanliness. With Mr.
Sothern are all his old cast, who are ia
yorites i'll every instance: Mrs. Selton,
Messrs. Budstone, Selton, Flockton, Law
renee, Sam Sothern, and many others of
a large company.

Senator WoIcott of Colorado had field

PiIInried Trust Agents.

The picture today presented by the
Bouse Of Representatives is instructive,
if it is not pleasing The Constitutional
rights OF the general membership have
been boldly and completely suppressed,
and, to all intents and purposes, the power
Of legislation has been transferred to an
oligarchy Composed of the Speaker and the
Committee on Rules. There is a cringing
majority which confessedly only exists
60 perfunctorily register the orders CON
veyed to it, through the oligarchy, by
their common masters, the trusts and mo
nopOlies.
Ii is very evident at this time that those
masters have spoken the word, and that, if
brutal suppression, Illegal ruling and con
tempt for the parliamentary rights OF
the minority can be made adequately ef-
fective, DO amendment to the Dingley in
fanny will be entertained that seeks to
load il with any restriction of the Oppor-
tunIiics il offers to trusts and monopo-
lies to steal the substance OF the people
for their own enrichment.
Whether or not the oiigarchy AMI its
subservienJ majority shall thus succeed
in evading a direct vote ON the trust is
sue, the verdict of the country will be the
Same. If every trust and monopoly mem
her on the floor should record his milne

end obnox iousIy controlled by trusts The
evidence could not be more clear than now
it is that the majority supports the meas
ure because it is strictly in the interests
of those oppressive and unla wful combina-
tions and conspiracies; nor that, il their
special opportunities and privileges under
it were ex eepted, Republicans would re-
gard il as useless and dead, as the British
consider the arbitration treaty with the
Monroe doctrine, the Clayton Bulwer treaty
and the Nicaragua canal left out
The autoorat, the oligarchy and the ma

Maple SUGAR.

It quite time for sigls TO appearin the
shop windows to the effect that genuine
Vermont maple sugaris sold within. Some
of the labels vary this expression by as
suring the purchaser that he is getting
'tree maple sugar" There is food for
thought in this.
Anyone who has lived in one of the great
sugar States for any length OF time knows
ioe-locked trees in the Northern forests
ia the early part of February. The first
run of sap does not occur till the first of
March, sometimes much later: and it is
some time after that before any consid-
cradle amount of sugar gets into the city
market. When tempting bars and cakes of
maple sugar appear in fancy groceries, for
fancy prices, under the pretense of being
the very first sugar of the season, they
may be made of maple sugar, butit is not
this seasons run by several weeks. The
way in which it is made is this: Most sugar
farmers have their regular customers each
year, who bug as much as they can make
Now and then, however, one of these farm
ers has some Of his sugar left over, and is
willing 10 sell it for almost nothing. This,
with the sugar left on hand In the city mar
kets, is bought up, boiled down with brown
sugar, glucose and other inferior things,
and made into fancy cakes. which are ship
ped TO the city market; and the city dweller,
his memories of the country awakened by
the first soft spring winds which blow up
from the South atthat time, buys thisthird-
rate article and helps it out with imagina-
ton. And the dealer gets the profit. 1t

"The Speculator."

The Speculator' is a typical American
play, as much as any that has been written.
The fever OF speculation is, in the first
place, most typcally American, and the
characters which Mr. George II Broad
hurst has drawn into this story of his are
life-like pictures of people we meet in the
stock market and iu the homes of stock
brokers Mr.. Thomas @ Seabrooke is a
real success, with his large frame and his
large, homely voice and his large heart in
The Speculator, almost much. il
not quite, as he was in comic operas. al
though his environment is so entirely diff
ferent. His company is very much the
same as last year, including that very en-
joyable young fellow, Roy Fairchild as
Charlie Floren nee, the monocled dude who
goes West and learns to say damn and
acquires other much more manly attTi-
butes tina IN his early tendencies, to the huge
delight of his Uncle Fullerton. The office
boy Frank, is also taken by the same young
fellow, f. W. Peters, who carried il to
such a hilarious success last season. Mr..
Peters BoweTy accent is said to be the
genuine article, and at any rate his hurnor
is. Miss Edith Totten as Fullerton's daugh-
ter, engaged To young Florence, is full OF
yIyacity and sprightliness, and delicacx,
too. that makes her almost entirely de-
lightful. others i n the company are ex-
cellent, and in fact the whole cast is good.

After an absence of three years that
faithful aud simple narrative of life and
incident among the simple folk Of south

Not Beiieredr That Much Progress
VIII he Nude.

A cauo&s waI be held by the Republican
/. Senators this afternoon. On this occa-
sion senator IA Ilison Is to report what
progress has been made in the matter OF
the reorganization OF the Senate commit
tees, and toward establishing concert
between THE different parties in the Sen
ate. 1t is not.believed that much progress
has been. lpar1e and it is probable that
Senator Allison will be compelled TO ask
leave for the steering committee to sit
again. As tile Senate stands, the Demo
crat-P opulist- Silver Republican combine
has a distinct majority, and nothing is
likely to occur to change it, unless the
Kentucky puzzle should be solved in a
manner different from what is expected
here. Veteran members of the Senate
say that there is little or no doubt that
the Kentucky vacancy will continue.
The most probable outcome OF all the
committee controversy, as has been pre-
vously stated in The Times is that all va
cancies will be filled by Senators OF the
same faith as those retired in March.
The committees of the Senate are badly
dsorganized, and some of them are hope
lessly crippled One of the evidences OF
the control Of the Senate by the Democrats
and their allies is evidenced by the action
taken by the Public Lands Committee,
which is controlled by the Democrats and
Populists. They have decided to hold up
a number Of the nominations for reeeiv-'
ers and registers of land offices, which
have been made since President Mckin-
ley came in. 1t was expected that at yes
terdays executive session several Of the
nomination. would be reported favora-
bly, and acted upc1 by the Senate, but in-
stead Of that the commi>tee reported fail
ure to act.
In Senatorial circles 1T is sa,d that
proposition for a compromise has been
made, originating from Populist sources.
This is that there be division OF the
committees between the several parties
giving each some chairmanships, and
continue the more important chairinanships
in the control of the Republican party.
This would establish unique and rather
pnZzling condition of things, but is per-
haps the only solution that offers itself

dist conference yesterday a report of the
hoard of education was read fixing the
second Sunday in June or the nearest con-
yenient date thereto as the date when the
annual sermon on education should he
preached.
The report of the temperance board was
then read. 1t declared that the evil of
intemperance was rapidly growing. The
report urged most earnest protest against
every encouragement of this most de-
structiye evil to the good morals of the
community, and to the prosperity of the
kingdom of God that the fatal history of
the liquor traffic convinced them more
than ever that they should take firm and
decided stand against every form of Ii
censing intemperance, and the committee
earnestly called upon the people, in ac-
cordance with the general rules of the
Discipline and the chapter on temperance,
to avoid signing petitions for such sales
or becoming bondsmen for any candidate
seeking license and from renting property
to he used for such sale.
The following preachers were reported
as having died during the past year: j.
NJ. Grandin, John w. Boteler, Robert Ross
and Joseph II. Temple, all being super
annuated.
For two hours or more the conference
sat with closed doors, considering plans

derstood that a committee of nine was

of interest. not only in local circles, but
throughout the conference
