The whole policy of the new admins
tration thus far looks toward a con-
tinuing insufficiency of revenue, toward
the paying out of greenbacks that have
been locked up for the sake of safety,
toward another draft upon the treas
ury gold the moment that unfavorable
conditions arise and toward an inevita-

the credit of the country and to main

AT THE THEATERS.

The Gtffen-Nein company produced Robert
DroudPs 1ve-act drama Doris at the Met
ropolitan opera house last night. The au-
d:ence was large and appreciative, rewarding
the company with curtain calls at the close Of
each act.
Doris belongs to that class of plays
which, for the lack of a better term. NAV
be defined as 'parlor melodramas" While
Its story awakenS and up ITO a certain point
sustans interest, it lacks solidity of con-
struction and contains situations more con-
spicuous for their crudity than their prob
ability or intensity. Considered solely as q
melodrama, it is fully up to the average;
considered absolutely as a drama designed
to portray an exciting chapter from human
life, it cannot be conscientiously commended
as an artistic and faithful reproduction
There is pouring of "drugs apt" and a.
flourish of deadly weapons that reduce the
play to level considerably below that with
which this organization of artists has been
associated during it's engagement. The very
suspense which gives excuse for five acts
would not exist if the heroine would act as
any sane woman would under the eircum-
stances-teil her husband that the man from
whom she had been divorced and whom she
had every reason to believe dead was still
alive ar1 had come back to kill him. Yet the
The dialogue is commercially free from
st1lted fustian and clap-trap speeches, and
the dramatist has drawn some of the char
acters with the eye of an observer of human
nature. The role of Rev. Mr.. Merrigood pos

OF the immortal Benjamin Franklin that had
stepped from the frame. Mr. Beadle. the
meddlesome and courteous old skinf1int who
mallgns an innocent woman, is another char
acter creation easily recognizable as tyne of
humanity existing In every community John
b. Maher's representation of this role was
an artlst1c bit. In the character of Stephen
Brand, the convict whose wife has divorced

Kent proved highly effective, particularly in
his death scene, which was vivid and startling
in its realism.
Robert Drouet was naturally at perfect ease
IN the character of Kenneth Ashley, which
he has played so often. Mr.. Drouet preserves
manly dignity and imparts an atmosphere
Oh righteousness to the role that command
respect and sympathy. Kate Blancke gave an
excellent Characterization of Martha Crawley
the designing housekeeper and was capably
abetted by Robert Norris who impersonated
the scoundrel, Simon Crawley. Edythe Chap
man could not find much that was congenial
in the role of Doris, but made the most of
her material. Eleanor Carey had very little
to do as the clergyman's wife beyond looking
the role, which she did. Arnold Daily was
sufficiently cheerful and breezy as DR.. Brian

signed. the reasonable application of
the rule would be to give effect to the
act from midnight of Saturday. But
there Is no reason ait present exist
ing, comprehensive to the lay mind,
at least, why the old rule should ex-
list. The reason for it departed with
the adoption Of standard time, and
when the reason of the law ceases the
law fails. That the ruling Of the
treasury will be disputed is probable,
and the court will have to either re-
assert the rule or pronounce its de-
mise. Where duties were, paid the
government will have to sue to re-
cover under the provision giving it a
year within which to liquidate the ac-
count, and lay claim for increased
payments where undervaluations are
discovered. Where goods were entered
in bond the importer will have to pay
the increased rate and sue for rebate.
The effect of the ruling will be to
add only one more tribulation to the
mass contained in this and all tariffs.

pally of gold.
DR.. Emmens is not annoyed seri-
ously by skepticism, although, as a
scientist of acknowledged high attain
ment. he does not ask scientific ac-
acknowledgement of his present under
taking. In letter written by him to
Prof. William Crookes, F. R. S., DR..
Emmens said:

Nevertheless. DR.. Emmens' scien-

Gus Importance must be attached to
his statements. His reputation must
certainly dfspel the notion that he has
been deceived by the results of his
own experiments, as it is alleged was
Bryce, the Chicagoan.
DR.. Emmens is a member Of the
American Chemical society. Of the
American Institute of Mining Eng1-
neers, and of the Societe Internation-

He Is the inventor of Emmensite,
the United States official explosive
adopted and used in the army and

as an expert.
He is eminent as a scientific writer
as well. His work on nickel took a

work ON ordnance is published by the

days ago he fell while ascending the
capitol steps in the rain He injured
his side and opened an cid army wound

to write letter declining a renomina-
ton. Last night his special car was
brought here and the governor was
quietly carried to a carriage from his
room in the hotel where he makes mis-
home and driven to the car and softly
carried in and laid on bed. Then he
was taken to his home at CentervilIe
where he will remain for some time.
His friends say they expect him to re-
cover shortly, but others fear that he

Brave AIaska's Winters!

NEW YORK, July 29.-Gold isbeing
manufactured on Staten island. The
precious metal Is being artificialI pro-
dueed. not by the old-fashioned Process
Of extraction from auriferous ors, but
by transmutation from the lie; pre-
cious metal, silver.
DR.. Stephen H. Emmens, whJn he
first made this announcement about
year ago, was scientifically aIghed
at for his pains. He was called l. joy
full dreamer and a crank.
Now DR.. Emmens believes that the
laugh is turned. He is able TO point
to the fact that his artificial gold
has stood the tests of the United
States assay office, in Wall street, and
the office has purchased six ingots Of
his product, aggregating 7O.86 ounces
in weight, and nearly $1,000 in value.
DR.. Emmens does net insist that his
product is gold. He is satisfied If it
meets all the tests for determining the
precious metal. He calls his first
product "argentaurum" (silver-gold),
name connecting at once its properties
and origin.
The books of the United States as
say office contain records of purchases
of bullion delivered during 1897 by

ARMoR OFFER DECLINED.
Secretary Long Doubtful of His Au
thority to Accept.

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Secretary
Long has rejected the offer of the
armor companies to supply the diagonal
armor for the three battleships Ala
bama, Wisconsin and Illinois, now
building at price to be fixed hereafter
by the navy department itself The
companies made this offer under the
impression that as the armor of the
kind is entirely within the hull and
superstructure of the ships, the failure
of the government to procure it would
stop the work of the shipbuilders en-
tireIy. Therefore, while they refused to
furnish all of the armor needed at the
price fixed by congress, they under
took to supply the diagonal armor,
leaving the price afterwards to be ad-
justed. Secretary Long, however, has
found it possible to go on ". tn the work
of building the ships and allow the
armor to be placed later on. The con-
struction bureau has protested its abil-
ity to do this with as little disturbance
of the ships structure as would result
from placing a boiler in the hull. Be
sides the secretary felt that there was
a doubt as to his authority to commit
the government in this way to an in
definite expenditure, and as the act
of congress had pointed out the course
to be pursued in the event of the fail
ure Of the armor companies to accept
the price fixed for armor, he has de-
cided to decline the offer.

GERMANY STANDS ALONE.
In Insisting on European Control for
Greek Finances.

ONSTANTINOPLE, July 29.-The
demand Of the German ambassador,
Baron Saurma de Jeltsch, that pro-
vision be inserted in the peace treaty
between Greece and Turkey for a
European control of Greek finances
meets with disfavor among the other
ambassadors They consi(Nsr that it is
not covered by their instructions, but
should be, made the subject of direct
negotiations between Germany and the
other powers. Even the Turks oppose
this project, as they regard it as an
attempt to take advantage of the peace
negotiations in the interests of the Ger
man bondholders. While it is thought
improbable that Greece could raise the
ird unity Il an without SUCH guarante IS
as would be provided by European con-
troll of her finances, the proposed stipu-
lation is not regarded as not in order
in treaty to which only Greece and
Turkey are parties.
At a meeting of the ambassadors
today the indemnity clause in form
satisfactory to the views Of Germany
was agreed upon 1t now awaits the
approval of the respective foreign offl-
GERS. Another meeting will be held on
Saturday, when so far as the ambassa-
doris are concerned, the negotiations
will be concluded.
