THE GERMAN DRAMA.
a Theater to BE Built at New York
City.

New York. March 25.-The German
drama in New York is to have a new
and magnificent theater in the heart of
the uptown amusement district. be-
fitting in comfort and elegance the
commercial and social prominence of
our German-AmeriCan citizens.
The new house is for Mr.. Heinrich
Conreid, of the Irving Place Theater,
and plans have already been drawn
for a building which will equal any Of
the leading Broadway theaters. The
location practically decided upon is the
site of the Central Market, at Forty
eighth Street and Broadway, which is
the property Of Mr.. A. d. Juiiliard.
While this is at the disposition of those
who have offered to build the theater
for MIR. Conreid it will not be definite
iy settled upon until there has been
conference with a number of wealthy
Germans who are anxious to have the
new house in the neighborhood of Mad
isOn Avenue and Forty-eighth Street,
near the ciubhOuses of the Arion and
Liederkranz societies. German Senti-
ment is decidedly in favor of this latter
location but, on the other hand, there
are those who believe that the theater
Will be more profitable if placed in the
Broadway district" since the German
theater whose clientele was formerly
Z
patronized by the general public, who
are attracted by the excellence of the
work done by the German players. The
question of location and some points in
regard to the policy Of the theater are
under Observation-Disclosures it shall be
! on Madison Avenue and confined solely
to the German drama. or whether, If
/ it is located in Broadway, it would be
Well to occasionally give English pro-
ductiOns.
Mr.. Conreid himself has decided
views on these matters and his own
decision Will eventually determine
which of the two locations will be Sc
lected One thing is certain, that the
new theater is to be built uptown In
one of the two locations. Messrs. Stein
Cohen and Roth architects. have sub
mitted plans in accordance with Mr..
Conred's ideas. The manager has also
consulted other architects here and eX-
poets to consult some in Europe this
! summer.

New York City Opposes Its TrnnsfeT
To the General Government.

whelming vote the chamber of commerce

position to the transfer of the Erie Canal

had been assured by representatives In

ernment. the canal will be enlarged SO
that ships and barges may pass from the
lakes 10 the seaboard.
John D. Crimmins and Gustav H
Schwab supported the resolutions.

port on the table. He said that if the
State lost control of the canal ii would
pass into the hands of the railroad.
Abram s. Hewitt made an earnest
speech against the adoption of the report.
He expressed the belief that the people
would vote another 81. 900 900 to complete
improvements and said that if the canal
were transferred to the nation ii could
be controlled by its enemies. the repre-
sentatives of those ports which are the
rivals of New York.
A. Foster Higgins spoke against the re-
port. Mr. Windmuller's motion to lay ii
upon the table was then passed.

voring the passage of the Cantor-Hill
bill, which provides for the submission to
the people next Fall of the question of

empowered to levy such a tax, liking
