AT THE THEATERS.

The performance Of Half King at the
METROPOLITAN last night demonstrated one
fact in a highly agreeable manner. That Is
the pre-eminence Of Francis Wilson over all
his rivals in the comic opera field. The
funny man Of comic opera Is allowed 50 wide
a scope that the word legitimate is obviously
nisapplied in describing the efforts OF such
a player but one can justly characterize Mr..
Wilson as an artist even in his moments Of
most extravagant buffoonery. His whole per
Torrance is seasoned with delightfully."- hui
morous flavor and illuminated with a scin-
tillating wit and keen intelligence that dis
tingush the artist from the mere clown.
Light, breezy and graceful. possessing dis
tinct enunciauon and clear voice Of SYM
pathetic quality. Mr. Wilson Is never de
trop on the stage. He is continuously, natur-
ally and irresstibly funny.
But while this admirable comedian is
much OF Half a King" he is not all Of 1t.
The music OF Ludwig Englander and the
libretto Of Harry B. Smith reflect credit upon
those gentlemen. The score, while far from
pretentious, contains many tunefuI num-
bers. and the dialogue fulfills its agreeable
purpose.
The company which is thoroughly salts
factory contains one shining light besides
MI Wilson and that is Miss Lulu Chaser
a young woman CT exceptional talent. In the
role Of Picrette the mountebank's adopted
daughter the audience beheld a young artistic
who excels in point Of histrionic ability any
comic opera prima donna seen here in several
seasons. Miss CHASER is a finished comedi-
enne, and a most expressive singer. Her
naive ways and pretty features lend dis
tinctive interest and charm to every scene in
which she appears.
" rIo
The scenery is picturesque to a degree.
The excellence OF the cast OF De Koven &
Smiths latest opera, '"The Mandarin" has
excited a great deal Of comment including
as 1t does such capable and popular artists as
Bertha Waltzinger Adele Richie George G.
Boniface Jr., Henry Norman Joseph Sheehan,
George Honey and Sam and Dave Marion,
and in this connection Mr.. De Koven re-
marked: Il have been sngularly fortunate in
this respect ever since the production Of my
first opera, The Begun" in 1887. The con-
pany which presented The Begun" was
truly remarkable one, every one OK the grin
cipais having since headed a company Of his
or her own. 1t included De Wolf Homer
jefferson De Angels, Harry McDonough Digby
and Laura Joyce Bell, Harry Crisp, Hubert
Wilkie, Ed Hof. Nine. CottreHy, Marion
Manola, Annie Myers and Josie Knapp.
There are several sensational scenes in The
War Of Wealth which meet with great ap-
plause and appreciation at tile hands OF the
audiences al the Grand Opera house the
present week. The play is admirably present
ed. Thomas Wise as Maj. Pickney Poindex-
ter. Fanny Mcintyre as Helen Raymond and
Frances Whitehouse as HALLS Forley, de-
serving special praise for their efficient in
depreciation Of the roles they present. To-
morrow at 2:30 the only remaining matinee
OF the engagement will be given.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, March 24-The decision Of
the Supreme Court affirming the illegality
of the Trans Missouri Freight Associa-
ton under the Sherman Antitrust law
occupied almost exclusively the attention
of the dealers in stocks and bonds to-
day. That there was good ground for
the apprehension expressed of the, eff
fects upon values Of railroad properties
Of the decision, was obvious from the
character of some of the selling. but
there was also palpable exaggeration
of the fears of the traders with Il view
of depressing prices for the profit Of those
short of stocks, Il contingent reputed to
be quite large at this time. The extent
of the activity of this element and their
interest in it, was shown by the lively
movement to cover at the low point which
worked rally at the close of the day,
resulting in few cases in Il full recovery
of the heavy declines. The same thing
occurred very soon after the opening,
at which the beans started in TO raid the
market with great energy and determine
ton. Judging from the reports that
were kept in circulation by this short in
terest, one would have supposed that a
wholesale disruption OF all agreements
TO maintain rates had occurred without
the parties even waiting to see the text
of the Supreme Courts decision, and that
all railroads were entering forthwith
upon n disastrous war of rate-cutting.
The Joint Traffic Association, on the con-
trary, has determined to maintain its
existence pending the appeal of the case
10 test its legality. which now stands i'll
q. Il e x,.,4
There is little confidence expressed that
this decision will be sustained by the
Supreme Court on appeal. The opinion
seems to be general that neither the
Joint Traffic Association nor any other
railroad agreement to maintain rates and
divide traffic can stand the test of a law
suit under this decision. The action OF
the Atchison and the Burlington in Civ
ing notice of withdrawal from the Asso-
citation, of which they are members, fore
Swallowed the dissolution of those asso-
Citations and made the Changers and
Southwesterns especially weak, the de-
sire to sell all railroad stocks being very
manifest. There is no doubt that Il
large amount of long stock was thrown
on the market in the days trading and
that owners of securities take the most
serious view of the inhibition against
rate and traffic agreements contained in
the Supreme Courts decision. The
Changers and Southwesterns, as being
Immediately affected, showed the heavi-
est declines.
Railway bonds We're quite active and
showed general concessions in sympathy
with the unsettled character of the stock
speculation. The sales were 81 ,507 900
Governments traded lower on the first
call, but later subsequently stiffened a
fraction for the new fours on purchases
of $50 900.
