ADJUSTMENTS. A

The Chamber of Commerce compli-
ment to the management of the Or
pheum last night served to pack the
house. 1t was a splendid audience, as
representative a gathering as was ever
in attendance upon a theatrical per-
formance in this city. Local Manager
Frank Clifton had every reason to
manifest the qualification he felt at
the compliment paid his principal and
himself.
When the orchestra appeared for the
overture it struck up the "Star-Span-
gled Banner" and there was immedi-
ate applause from the immense audi
ence Town Topics" was given with
greater spirit, if anything, than on the
first night. and went with whirl from
beginning to the end In the first act
Gussie Nelson, a rather stately appear
ing blonde, presents as finished and clev
er an example of shuttle, wing and jig
dancing as any woman dancer has ever
given here. In some Of the measures
and steps, indeed she is better than any
who have appeared here. Worlds BIZ
cycle act is the one startling feature of
the farce. If ever the wires break
which are planted to keep him from
riding on forever, he will cause con-
sternation in parquet and dress circle.
Mack's acrobatic feats in the first act
are especially good. Apparently Off
hand and easy, they are really the most
violent kind of exercise known in ath-
letics, taxing every muscle and nerve
in the body Miss Leslie, the balladist
and character singer has become a fa-
vorite already, and is eneored with sin
cerity; and Miss Phillips as q dancer
is conceded to be one of the most
graceful, while her abandon in the dance
is as French as any can be. Town
Topics" is a very ludicrous and su-
premely ridiculous affair. but it was
so intended, and fulfills its mission--to
make the people laugh heartily from the
utter absurdity of the situations. The
same bill tonight.
Under the auspices of Friendship and
Sacramento Councils of the Order of
Chosen Friends, there viii this evening
at Forest ters' Hall be held grand open
| meeting and dance, to which a general
| invitation has been extended. There
| is to be a choice literary and musical
programme. in the course of which
| short addresses will be given by SUI
preme and Grand Officers of the order.
| The dancing. of course will come in at
the wind-up. and it is understood that
as bit of merry-making the now pop
ular cake walk will be feature.

TEE Naval B>ard, which is trying
to make report IS to the positions o
the different warships daring tht
naval battle at Santiago, seeks te
show that the "bsttle was fought auo
won upon plans prepared by Rea,
Admiral Sampson" and as the News
and Courier adds, ''that Admiral
Schley had very little to do with the
tight" We agree fully with the News
and Courier that such finding will
not be "accep;ed as at all satisfactory
by the majority OF. intelligent people in
this country"
SIMPSONS friends should drop at
once any efart to minimize schley's
part in this battle. Sampson made a
great blnnder when he sent that dis.
patch about what s'the feet under my
command" had accomplished, and now
If the Naval Board shall even seem to
take credit from Schley for Simpsons
benefit, many intelligent people of the
country will suspect, and not without
reason, that there is a systematic
effort on cfacialdom to give unde.
served credit to Sampson, and conf
dence will not be placed in the report
OF the Naval Board. Official reports
such as theirs should command the
confidence Of the country. The News
and Courier speaks the right kind of
sentiment in saying: "We can very
well understand that officers of the
fleet are jealous of their own reputa.
ton, and it is an honorable thing that
they should desire 10 have full credit
Tor whatever work was done under
their immediate direction, but, how
ever honorable the ambition, We do !!
not think that it is exactly the thing to
attempt at this late day 10 detract
from the spleodid services of Admiral
Sohiey. In the official reports of the
bsttle We do not think it can be shown !
that he neglected TO speak in prope, {
terms of the services of the ships en- t
gagged with him in the battle. The 1
temper Of The findings CT the Board az y
summarized in the telegraphic dis. 5
patches is not attractive"
The second clause of the findings is
not attractive. Ills "The - -
directing of the movements of ships i,
lone BY Schley during the battle was
nconsiderable." Suppose "the d.
ectlng iof the movements of ships'' ,
7as ''inconsiderable"? "The direct 2
lg" was enough 10 destroy the Span G
b Heet without Schley's losing til
ngle ship. ps

aside for number of years. Among
them found q letter, without il:

hart, OF Fairfield, by a young mar
Who ls now one Of our foreign mis-.
slonarles. The young man was q
nephew OF sDr. 3. The letter is NOT
without historical value, bot its chief
interest is in the clear-cut exhibition
OF genuine, o!d-;ime call to the COS
pei ministry, and was, no doubt. the
nrst time he had ever opened his heart
to any one on the subject, and was
evidently designed for no eye save
that of bis uncle.
How it came in nv possession is not
now so clear, but as was on the com
mittee Of ministers appointed to cx.
anime ths yoang brother in reference
to his call to the ministry, prior to bis
entering Furmau University, I have
no doubt but DR.. Bookhart handed or

doubtless done. I give the letter of

has called me into bis service, and
now l am ready to consccrate myself,

of such a delicate nature and one of
