in Society,"

CHICAGO Feb. 2.-Richard Mans

the graduate club and their invited
guests. Mr.. Mansfield was warmly

son, where for over an hour he shook
hands with the long line of invited
guests. All the faculty and their wives
were present. together with many of
the most prominent people of this city
Mr.. Mansfield severely condemned
music halls and cheap theaters, and de-
clared that money spent in them is
money which properly belongs to the
drama of this country. He depIored
the lack of a great American play
wright and appealed to the rising gen
Grafton to devote their minds to the
writing Of great plays
The speaker objected to personal
criticism" and referred to. the fact that
he had once been criticised for break
fasting in his hat because of draught.
He asserted that the stage is no more
ciety, and severely scored a prominent
London dramatic critic for recent at
tack on the morals of the stage.
Mr.. Mansfield urged the recognition
and encouragement of American dra-
matte artists as against foreigners, and
declared that America has as good
reason to be proud of its stage as Eng
land, Germany or France.

STOCK EXCHANGE MONOPOLY.
Sensational Testimony Given In the
Omaha Case by Ex-Prcsident
GfIchriSf.

OMAHA, Neb., Feb. I'm the hear
ing of the case Of the United States
against the South Omaha Live Stock
exchange today ex-President Richard
Glchrist was on the stand. He was
very closely questioned and some OF
the testimony he gave bordered on the
sensational. lie admitted that the eX-
change was a monopoly so far as con-
troll of the sale of stock on the local
market is concerned. No man can
handle stock there who Is not a mem
Der of the exchange, and who has not
paid in $1,000 for his membership.
Mr.. Gilchrist explained number Of
the rules Of the exchange, violation of
which were punished by a forfeiture Of
membership. He also explained how
one rule had been altered for the pur-
pose of freezing out a combination Of
stock growers and farmers, who had
sought 10 avoid the rules of the eX-
change and handle their own business
on cooperative plan.
The exchange rules were changed to
require every member Of a firm, wheth-
er resident or not, to own member
ship and deposit his 81 600 This keeps
out the cooperative companies Similar
rules are made to cover other points
with a similar object In view.
Mr.. Gilchrist was closely cross-eX-
arnined, but the force OF his direct tes-
timony was very little shaken. Presi-

HAWAIIAN COUP is PLANNED.
Cuba Combining to Precipitate
q Crisis.

CHICAGO, Feb. "A special from
Washington says: Quiet negotiations
have been going on in the senate for
several days looking to q sensational
ombination of the friends of both Ha-
waii and Cuba, with the object in view
of precipitating a crisis on both ques-
tionS without waiting either for the an
nexation treaty in the Pacific or the
slow movements of autonomy in the
Atlantic.
Although the annexation treaty is
said not to command two-thirds of the
whole senate, it has in its favor an
undOubted majority, representing all
parties, and the same is said to be true
in regard to Cuba. 1t is proposed,
therefore, to draft an amendment 20
the diplomatic and consular appropria-
ton BILL containing, first, the entire
wording of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty, and secondly. positive decIar-
alton that a state of war exists in the
island of Cuba A mere majority vote
would be sufficient to pass this amend
ment.
AS it would be part of a general ap-
preparation BILL there would be no rule
of the house which could prevent it's
consideration, and If passed by that
body, it would go to the president, who
would be put in the position of having
tC approve or veto both propositions at
the same time An appropriation bill
when once reported is privileged bust
ness, not subject to the delays of ex-
ecutive sessions, and the proposed
amendment could therefore he brought
up in such a way as to provoke public
debate and speedy action.

Ing expressions of opinion from organ
lZations of business men in all parts of

ment Of this new department, and has
procured great mass of responses
which seem to be nearly unanimous In
favor of the movement

business men and firms representing
nearly all the cities of the country, to
the same effect. The committee in it's
interview with the president today

census Of opinion which they had OBJ
tanned in favor Of the proposed depart
ment, and requested the president to
issue a special message favoring legis-
lation in that direction It is under
stood that no definite reply was made
by the president to the committee, but
there seems to be a general under
standing that he is in sympathy with
the movement and will take such ac-
tion as he deems proper in furtherance
of it.

Insurgents.

HAVANA, Feb. 2 (via Key West Fla.)-
Spanish military operations continue almost
paralyzed, the season most favorable for
movements against the insurgents thus being
lost.
On Friday the insurgents entered the town
of Artemtsa, province Of Pinar del Rio, and
plundered several stores.
The governor of Pinar del Rio sent Jose
Mendenez Dias em;ssary to the insur-
gent leader Perico Diaz with proposals of
peace and surrender. The insurgents hung
him near a railway opening with the gov
ernors letteE on his body

COLLECTOR OF COINS,
Peeds Was Careless Whose They
Were and the Police Want Him.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-William Peeds, who
is wanted by the police of England to answer
to charges of embezzIement, larceny and
forgery, committed, it is said, in England,
is supposed to be in America.
The authorities of London and other cities
of England, after an unsuccessful search for
the fugitive, concluded he had sailed for
America. Sir Julian Pauncefote the English
ambassador at Washington was notified by
letter, it is said, of the fact that Peeds was
wanted and also that he was supposed to be
in this country. He interested himself in the
case owing to the number OF charges against
the alleged fugitive. and laid the matter
before Secretary Of State Sherman with par
ticulars of Peeds' alleged misdeeds
Secretary Sherman, according to the Chi
cago police, caused a circular letter to be
sent to the governors of every state In the
Union, together with a description of Peeds
and requesting that the authorities of all
large cities be instructed to keep a sharp
lookout for the man and arrest him if pos
sible.
The Chicago police have not as yet received
full particulars of the case, but today Chief
of Police Ripley ordered a general search for
the man.
Peedg is described as. being g. years old and
of good appearance. Among other things he
is charged with having stolen in London is
a very valuable collection of old and rare
coins.

PINGREE PREPARING TO SUE.
Demand on the Michigan Central for
Ticket at n TwO-Cent
Rate.

DETROIT, Feb. Gov. Pingree took
steps today toward bringing a suit TO
compel the Michigan Central to carry
all passengers at two cents per mile
He demanded a ticket to Ypsilanti at
the legal two-cent rate, and then paid
the full three-cent fare under protest.
The pending suit to compel the Mich
igan Central to sell 1000 mile tickets
for 500 is not broad enough for the
governor, as the winning of it would
benefit only those who have the 500 to
pay for mileage books The second
suit, he asserts, will be for the benefit
of the plain people.
The Michigan Central claims to be
exempt under its special charter from
obligation to carry passengers at
two-cent rate. The governor contends
that the company's charter was amend
ed by a general railway law adopted
in 1891

and met Maj. Rathbone.
Mr.. Taylor could not remember of

POLICY OF RULE OR RUIN.
Chairman Walker, of the House
Committee, Blamed

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.--The house
committee on banking and currency
held turbulent session today over the
pending propositions for currency re-
vision.
Early in the meeting, Mr.. Johnson
Rep., Ind.) had heated colloquy with
Chairman Walker, in the course of
which Mr.. Johnson declared that the
chairman was pursuing rule or ruin"
policy as to the line of currency ac-
ton, which the committee should take.
Mr.. Walker resented this, saying he
would regard Mr.. Johnson's course as
personal If it was persisted in.
Later, Mr.. Hill Comm moved to take
up the measure embodying the presi-
dents recommendations as to three
specific changes in the banking laws.
This again met with warm opposition
from Mr.. Johnson who said that action
of this limited character would be an
tagonistic to the larger measures of
currency revision now pending before
the committee. In vehement tones he
questioned the good faith of those who
were urging a limited measure Of re-
vision, saying that they were too much
concerned in the annexation of Hawaii
to give sincere support to the full ac-
complishment of financial reform.
With much feeling and emphasis Mr..
johnson expressed his regret that the
IA lItu uOI earnestly uTSeu lue
fullest measure of currency revision,
instead of the limited plan now brought
before the committee
Owing to the feeling aroused on the
subject final action was not taken on
the motion to proceed with the presi-
dents recommendation and the Repub-
lican members determined to take up
this and other subjects later in the day,
when the Democratic members were
not present.
Without objection the committee de-
termined to report favorably Repre-
sentative COX's bill to promote the
safety of national banks. The essen
tial feature of the measure is a re-
striction on bank officers from borrow
ing the funds of the bank and thus
crippling it. 1t provides that no such
loans shall be made until a majority of
the bank directors approve Of 1t. 1t
also prohibits the oVerdrawing of ac-
counts by the president directors and
other officers of banks. Violation of the
provisions is a misdemeanor subject to
fine or imprisonment.
AT the caucus of Republican men,
bers of the committee during the after
noon 1t was agreed to go over the sew
eral bills before the committee with
view to agreeing upon the general prin-
ciples Of a measure to be reported.

FRIENDLY CALLS ON CUBANS.
The Policy of the Navy Department
on This Point Fully Deter
mined CD0n.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2-It is said
at the navy department that the Mont
gomery, after leaving Santiago Will
stop at some other ports on the coast
of Cuba and then proceed southwark
to the coast of South America, per-
haps extending the cruise as far south
as Rio. where she may join the South
Atlantic squadron.
Other cruisers and gunboats proba bly,
will follow the course of the Montgom-
cry generally from time to time, so that
the United States flag will be seen
oftener in the future in the waters
south of us than it has been for many
years past.
For this purpose the small gunboats
recently added to the navy. originally
for service in Chinese waters, are said
to be admirably adapted and they will
be used freely.
