Tbropp went over there comparatively un-
known, and 10 must be admitted that even
her friends here were somewhat fearful OF
the result She has seen and conquered,
and there Is not now I'm London a SOU
brette who would have less difficulty In
getting good engagement than this same
American girl who had the pluck to make
an experiment Of the outcome of which
her confidence In her own ability made
her certain. She Is playing the title role
In the piece In London which Is an Angli-
cized version OF "The Girl From Paris"
the musical comedy which has run for
nearly 800 perfor mances at the Herald
Square theater In New York oity, where
It was uDquestionably the success of the
season. The London critics have unstint-
edly praised tho work and methods of
Miss Tbropp, which Is of itself enough to
entitIe her to be regarded as something out
of the ordinary.
1t is not likely that this charming little
aoubrette will return to this country for q
long time, for England Is the home OF the
SO called musical comedy, and Miss Thropp
Is essentially an exponent Of that type of
theatrical representation. She IL, however
well remembered by Americans, who ad
mired her before her reputation had be-
come international, and were quick to
recognize the fact that she was possessed
of ability.
Clara Thropp was born In Washington
In 1872 She made her debut on the stage
at years Of age, appearing in Lemons"
with John l.. Fords stock company In
Washington. Later she played children g
parts with Joseph jefferson and John Nc
Cullough. She was with Mr.. Jefferson
one year.
Miss Thropp's first woman's part was
that OF Tages In "The County Fair. I"
Afterward she played leading business
with Evans & Hoey, appearing as Innocent
Kid In "a Parlor Match" An engage
ment with Wood e. Sheppard and Hallen
& Hart In Later On" followed, and on
the conclusion Of that Miss Thropp was
given Adele Ritchie's place In "The Al
gerian." She next appeared with Tim
Murphy, playing the soubrette part In
Lem Kettle.
Following this engagement Miss Thropp
became member Of the stock company
organised for the purpose Of presenting
one act comediettas at Keith's magnif-
cent Boston theater. There she again
made a pronounced hit, and after short
seasons with various organizations she re-
oeived an offer to 60 to London to origi-
nate the part above referred to, with the
understanding that II she proved equal to
Its demand she would be retained, but
that II she fell short it would be given to
some one else. The issue was not long in
doubt, and she speedily became prime
London favorite.
Miss Thropp Is not merely an actress.
She is also student and is possessed of
literary ability of no mean order She has
written couple Of novels which have en-.
joyod a large circulation and is also the
author of several very good plays

The first person In all the world who

Perhaps more people wear silk in China
than In any other country, for plain, raw
silk Is almost as inexpensive as cotton.

bell" because his rising had n similar eff.
feet In emptyi ing tho house One day, when
no had wcaried everybody out, he moved
that tho riot act should be- read as docu-

riot act, my dear friendl TO what pur-
poser Don't you perceive that the mob
has already quietly dispcrsedS" But the
sarcasm was utterly thrown away.

NEARING FINAL VOTE.
Tacitly Understood That Senate viii
Pass Tariff Bill Tomorrow.
Democrats Will Mot Attempt
Further Delay.


washington, July 22.-Friday 10 the
day on which the tarifr bill Will pass the
senate. according TO the expectations
and understanding OF senators on both
sides OF the chamber at the time OF ad-
Journment last evening. The senate had
then practically examined all the items
In the conference report upon which the
Democratic senator's insisted, and 1t
could have taken a final vote upon the
adoption OF the conference report last
evening, but for the speechmaking MEM
bers of the opposition who wanted to
occupy day or two In manufacturing
campaign material and bringing out
the iniquities Of the conference agree
ment.
All hopes Of defeating the conference
report and sending IT back to the con-
ference has disappeared from the minds
OF the opposition, and as there is no OBJ
5ect to be gained by fiilibustering, and al
most all the senators are eager to get
away, the leaders of the two sides have
practically come to an agreement that
vote shall be taken on the conference
report by Friday evening, when the re-
port will. of course, be adopted, and the
bill, which Is already enrolled on parch-
ment In anticipation Of favorable action
by the senate, will be taken Saturday
morning to the White House and signed
by the president.
Both Senators Jones and White, who
have been leading the opposition to the
bill on behalf of the Democrats, ex-
pressed the opinion that the vote would
not be postponed beyond this time.
Senator Allison also stated that while
he still considered a vote possible today
he felt very confident that IL would not
be postponed beyond tomorrow. In the
event of vote on the tariff tomorrow
final adjournment is generally predicted
for Saturday
The nomination OF B. III. Warner of
Maryland to be consul at Leipsic, which
has been opposed by Senator Wellington,
was confirmed by the senate in executive
session. Senator Gallinger OF the COM
mittee on commerce, who has had the
nomination in charge, stated that Sena-
tor Wellington did not expect to return
during the session, and that there would
be no further opposition. The nomina-
tion was confirmed without further re-
marks.
