Columbia.

The second week of Louis James en-
gagement at the Columbia Theater prom
lses well. The advance sale is said to be
twice as heavy as that OF any similar en-
gagement played by Mr.. James in this
city. "a Cavalier of France" is announced
Tor tonight and Wednesday night. Be
ginning with tomorrow evenings per-
formance of "Othelio' Mr.. James will
present his legitimate repertory in the
following order: Monday and Friday
evenings, "Othello'; Tuesday and Satur-
day evenings "Spartacus" Wednesday
evening, "a Cavalier OF France; Thurs
dav and Sunday December 81 evenings
and at the Saturday matinee, Julius
C9 ar" On Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday evenings a percentage OF the re-
ceipts will be contributed to the Lincoln
Monument League fund. At the Satur-
day matinee of Julius Caesar" a mum Der
of he various public school pupils will at
tend in BODY.
Mr.. James has always been regarded as
one of the last opponents of that school OF
the drama known as the tragic and heroic
ana in certain Shakespearean characters
he has few equals in America. HIS most
notable successes have been in the roles
of Othello and Brutus. In the former
he i acclaimed by some to be the greatest
on the nClish-speaking stage, and the
philosophical Brutus has always been
favoEite character OF Mr.. James. He has
played the part in almost every American
revival of the play in the last twenty
years.
The scenic effects in all the plays will
be on the same scale that has hitherto
characterized Mr.. James productions
under the present MANAGEMENT

that would be absolute. I suggest this in
sincerity and enthusiasm, and 1 hope Mr..
James will think it over, for vaudeville
stares him in the face. ASHTON STEVENS

Mr.. James Zine physique" "classic ges-
lures" and 'noble voice" 1t is only hu-
man for an actor to become conscious of
those features of his personality and
craftsmanship that have been voted good
90 season by season comes Mr.. James to
san Francisco, each time a little
stronger in delineating the massive
points of himself and each time some
thing less OF an actor than he was the
season before. In "a Cavalier OF France"
Mr.. James is all voice, physique and ges-
lures. OF course the part itself Is an in
vitation for bad acting, but Mr.. James
need not jump at the chance. When
man as heavily endowed with power as is
Mr.. James takes it into his hands to NAL
act you cannot ignore the result. l would
not belittle the values of stature, sound
and movement in the depletion of a tragic
or romantic figure. but when Mr. James
LETS loose those enlarged graces of his he
accom- lishes an illusion that is in excess
OF anything in nature.
Something should be done about it, and

NO pAnpoN FOR JONES.
The Court Officers Refuse 10 Endorse
tho Petition for CIcmency,

baltimore. Md, Dec. 3O.-United
States Judge Morris, ex-Dislrict At
torney Thomas G.. Hayes and District
Attorney William L. Marbury have de-
cilhed TO approve q petition asking
PRESIDENT Mckinley 10 pardon Henry
Jones, one OF the colored Navassa riot
ers' serving life sentence III the
Kings county penitentiary at Brooklyn,
New York
Jones ana two other colored Navassa
laborers, George S. Key and Edward
Smith, alias Devil" were convicted of
murder In the first degree in Baltimore
IN December, 1882 for killing white
officers on Narassa Island during the
memolublc riot in September of that
year. All three were sentenced to be
hanged. but In each case the sentence
was commuted by President Harrison
to life Imprisonment.
The petition asking the pardon OF
Jones was sent from the Department
OF Justice at Washington to Baltimore
10 obtain the opinions of the Judge
ana District Attorney who tried the
case ana the present District Attorney
IT, was returned to-day with the opin-
ions of those officials forcibIy expressed.
Mr Hayes. who tried the cases MS the
governments prosecuting officer, stat
ed In the letter giving his views that
several OF the white officers on the
islands were brutally murdered after
fhey had surrendered TO the colored
laborers and had been promised pro-
lection. No provocation was shown
for the murder" he continues, "and in
my opinion there never occurred a more
wilful and cold blooded murder than
that by the colored men on Navassa
island OF their white employers. Moth
ing has occurred since to justify me in
recommending any leniency."
&. j Judge. Morris, who sat in the ca ses
with the late Judge Bond. states that
he concurs In every word Of the state
ment of MIR. Hayes
District Attorney NIarbury, who has
become acquainted with the case by
reading the testimony, states that in
his opinion 1t is mot case for further
executive clemency, and the granting
of pardon would be calculated to
cause trouble on the island in the flu
ture."

Repors with Important Rceon-
mcntiRtioNH Ns+e--H est'1 ~

Washington, D. c., Dec 30.-Assistant
Secretary Roosevelt has submitted to
Secretary Long a most exhaustive re-
port upon ,thc personnel of the navy.
lie was charged with a special board
to consider and report upon means to
break up the present stagnation in pro-
motions, to SETTLE the long standing
differences between the line and the
engineer corps and ITO devise a method
for the bettermnt of the condition of
the enlisted men abroad ship. All of
these things have been done in a bill,
which is submitted ito the Secretary
for his approval, the features OF which
nave already been set out in the AS
sociated Press dispatches.
Mr.. Roosevelts presentation of the
evils of the present situation and the
reasons which have influenced the
board in making its recommendations
are set forth In an accompanying re-
port In a stronger light than has ever
been thrown upon this complex subject,
and 1t is presumed that 1t Will have
influence with Congress, to which the
matter lis soon TO be committed Mr.
Roosevelt pays his compliments to the
members of the board for the conscien-
ttous manner in which they have gen
eraiiy sunk personal opinions and re-
marks with pleasure rhat on no one
point could 1t be said that the line and
starr members divided as classes. AS
to the results attained he says:
i l am able, without qualification, to
report to you that the bill they have pro
duced would, If enacted into law, be of
lNerally 'incalcuiable good to the navy
and would make our naval service the
pioneer in the proper solution of prob
icms' some Of which are old, but some
of which are so new that they have
not yet been solved by any, naval ma
tion. 'n
The board recommends (A) that the
line officers and engineers be ANAL
gamated: (B) that when the number OF
officers to be promoted is so far in
excess of the vacancies as to cause
stagnation in the service, the requisite
number of vacancies shall be caused
by wedding out the men who are least
ut to meet the heavy requirements of
modern naval duty; &C. that the en-
listed men aboard ship be given the
same reward Of pension and retirement
enjoyed by their brethren who fight
ashore. while the uppermost machin-
lists are made warrant officers to rank
with the gunners and carpenters

Commissioners Evans wants to EiimI.
nnte Them from tho Pension Busi>

7 Washington, Dec. 30.-Commlgsioner
OF Tensions Evans has been giving
some attention 10 a proposition whereby
the services OF pension attorneys en-
gagged in the prosecution of claims be-
fore the office may be dispensed with,
and their work done under government
supervision.
Informally he has been discussing the
matter with members of the House
Committee on Invalid Pensions, but is
not yet prepared ITO outline the details
of his plan. The present system, he
says, Is wrong. and Should have been
done away with long ago. Discontin-
uing the services OF the attorneys would
result in a great saving to both PEN
sioners and the government, and lila.
'bility to frauds in the issuing of PEN
sions would be reduced to a minimum.
Under government supervision the pen
sion bureau would have direct control
of the persons appointed to look after
the cases, whose business It would be
to see that all honest claims were
promptly and intelligently presented.
The commissioner notes the fact that
$l3,500 900 has been paid out during the
past thirteen years to pension attor-
neys by applicants for the prosecution
of their claims.
