The two Michigan Senators and the
twelve members OF the House from that
State joined yesterday in a formal tele-
gram favoring Gen. r. A. Alger for Sec
retary of War. They regard the generals
chances as very good, and sent the Icle-
gram as an evidence OF loyalty aud be-
cause they fear the general needs aelp
Senator Burrows, who has been To Can
ton, said yesterday: II talked 10 the
President-elect about Gen Alger. Heknows
the general well and likes him very
much. He also knows the generals fam
ily We talked at length about the mat
ter, and while he did not give any pledge
came away with the impression that
the outlook for Gen. Ayers selection is
very favorable. l am sure Mr. Mckinley
has very high opinion of Gen, Aiser ard
his qualifications for the place. OF course,
Senator Sherman is to be the next Sec
retary of State. Aside from that appoint
ment, | feel confident from the very free
and unrestrainrd manner in which he
discussed the question that he has not yet
finally decided upon any other member of
his Cabinet.
Il had not seen Mr. Mckinley for year,
but Z found him not one whit changed
from the simple, unaffected gentleman
he was when chairman of the Committee
on Ways and Means. He has no more
polisi. on his boots, nor are his clothes any
better, and 1 think ne wears the same size
hat
The latest and best complete Cabinet
slate, according to the gossips at the
Capitol, is as follows;
Secretary of State, John Sherman OF
Ohio.
Secretary of the Treasury, Shelby NJ.
CuIlom of Illinois.
Secretary of War, Russell a. Alger of
Michigan.
Secretary of the Navy, John d. Long of
MasSa chusetts.
Attorney General, Nathan Goff of West
Virginia.
Postmaster General, Henry C. Payne of
Wisconsin.
Secretary Of the Interior, Joseph II.
McKenna of California.
Secretary of Agriculture, James Wilson
of Iowa.
This slate has geographical symmetry,
and in this respect is superior to any
prev iously published. The one place
where it seems weak is in the absence of
New York from the States represented.
Perhaps the most likely change in the
above list is the substitution of a New
York man for Wilson or Payne. New
York has not been missing from Cabinet
in many years. lamont Bissell, Tracy,
Within ey, Manning Fairchild Folger,
James, and Evarts are recent and continu-
Gus examples of the Empire State citizens
in the Cabinet.
1t is rumored that Col. Harry Swords.
known for so long as sergeant alarms of
the Republican national committee, is to
be made secretary to District Attorney
olcott of New York at So 900 a year
This is a good thing, and his friends in

The First Night
of New Attractions

The engagement of Richard Mansfield is
always interesting. The exceeding va
riety OF his repertoire is attractive and
the knowledge behind that, whatever the
quality or the play, tie Interpretation of the
actor is certain to be Intelligent original,
and artistic, gives assurance of a justified
interest.
He stands now, after dozen years of
hard conscientious and scholarly effort, a t
the front OF the Englishspeak king actors,
shoulder to shoulder with irving. ami un-
approached in certain lines OF eccentric
character delineation. He has the self
knowledge To measure the scope of'tis own
capacity and rightly refrains from lines OF
parts whereinzthe temperament and tech
nique which is his would not affiliate!
There is more credit due the man who says
mo- than the fool who rushes in where
angels fear to tread
Last night at the Lafayette MI Mans
field entertained Ia large audience with
his carefully studied performance of
justice loving, justice-hating usurer. Shy
lock. 1t is not leasy to see why he made
this choice for an opening bill. In his
present repertoire he has a new play,
never before seenhere, and another Shakes :
cence. which would have better adorned
the opening OF his engagement than a
drama, in which he has been seen here be-
fore recently.9, ii owcver, there is small
reason TO argue with a man who does SO
well what he's does.
When Mansfieiu's Shylock bore the pres
tige of novelty it was given studious 1T
tention, and commended for many deserving
qualities. Since last given here, two years
ago, he has not materially altered either
his conception of the role nor his arrange
ment OF the play. Both compare well with
the -tradilions OF the stage But he will
not be remembered particularly for this
role. IL cannot be that he cares 9or it.
There is too little OF it TO give full play
to his powers and it presents too little of
Mr.. Mansfield to make it entirely salts
factory To an audience. In the midst OF an
echoleSs case for new dramatic materi al he
probably seized upon this character as a
stop gap until he could satisfy himself with
another Brummel, Karl, or Chevreil.
Shylock offers him hut two really de-
nianding scenes, one with Lalarino and
the other in court, though he sacrifices to
natnra.ism and truth what most Shyiocks
make tellingly dramatic. the scene after
lie discovers Jessica flight
The support was adequate. Mr.: John
read his lines with praise worthy clearness,
though he made less humorous and viva
cious GratiOno than is frequently seen,
and Mr.. Jewett, though he lacked dis
tinctness in reading, deserves the warmest
praise for his contribution to the unity of
the picture by attention that was as eX-
pressiye as words. Beatrice Cameron was
pretty and youthful Portia, and the argu-
mentatve speech Of young Gobbo was
given with hun0r by Mr.. Andre ws.
The scenery was plentiful and handsome
TIE perspective IN the court scene was
the waters OF Venice, seen through three
high arches, and the play of sunlight
WAS very effectively reproduced by the
artist
This evening Mr.. Mansfield presents
THE Partisan Romance, and tomorrow
afternoon new play, Castle Sombras"

house which greeted it gave ample evi-
dence that it still held q warm place in
the affections of Washington theater
goers. Every incident of the plot OF
this stirring production carries with it a
faithful likeness of the life among the
wids OF Kentucky, and the company pre-
seHting it is one of unusual strength.
The explosion, the fire, and the race
or the Ashland Oaks all thrilled the heart
of the house, while the work done by the
Pickaninny Band and the dancing of the
stable boys, helpers and others gave
humorous side to the performance that
relieved the pathos that ever and anon
crept III throu ghout the play. Laura
Burt, Madge Briefly, the winsome and
dainty flower of the mountain willis, gave
a faithful delineation, that won for Ler
the sympathy of the audience and the H.
dgnation of the pit. Mary White Hail,as
cessful claimant for the honors of Cupid,
made the best use of her role possible,
and at times showed much force. Nita
Sykes, as Althea Layson, the spinster, W no
Eabhorred horse races and other devious
roads TO perdition, gave finished por-
trayal, and won the applause of the house
Fin several of her passages with the doughty
Col. Sandusky Doolittle, faithful coun-
| terfeit OF the jovial, sport-loving and
.tender-hearted relict OF ante-bellum days,
very credtably played by Burt G Clark
Several others of the company might be
sjust as pleasantly noticed.
