Boston Herald special from New York:
The success of the New York roller polo
team in the Southern New England
league has caused the organization of the
American Polo association to be composed
of New York, Brooklyn, Jersey City and
Newark, and probably Philadelphia,
Washington and Baltimore The organ
izers intend to secure many of the star
players now with the National olo asso-
citation, thus making the new assooiation
to polo what the National league is to
b seball. William Barnie and others,
Tuesday, secured the Oakland rink in
jersey City, for the home of the team in
that city, and ]. @. Chapman is trying
to get the 18th Regiment armory in
Brooklyn. Barnie and Chapman are old
baseball managers. Frank Selee, manager
of the Boston. baseball champions, is like
ly to have one of the franchises in the
new association. w FL. Corey is or
eanizing the New York team. The season
will commence December 10, and end
March 49,
Augusta is no longer tbs easy thing Of
the league. The club Is now putting up
as strong a game as any team in Maine
and If the players continue at their
present gait Augusta will cut quite
figure in the championship race before
the season ends.
1t is doubtful If there ever was better
balanced league than the Maine league
this year. The teams are all pretty evenly
matched and there are no "sure win
ners.'

The Bill Was Passed Practically Without
Opposition and the War Department
Was Not ,Criti o zed During the Debate
Continuance of Volunteers in Service
Provokes Debate.
Washington, December S.-The urgent
deficiency bill to provide for the support
OF the military and naval establishment
was passed by the House today. PRACTICAL
ly without opposition. A fear had been
expressed that the measure might open
up prolonged debate uron the conduct
Of the war, but the Democratic leaders
decided that such debate would properly
come later upon the regular appropriation
bills or upon the bill for the reorganiza-
tion of the army. There was not word
of criticism for the war department.
during the debate. The only point upon
an issue was raised today was as to
whether the bill, providing as 1t did, for
the pay of the volunteers until July, 1889,
might not be construed as modification
of the law under which the volunteers
were mustered into service. Mr.. McRae
OF Arkansas, offered an amendment pro-
viding that it should not be 80 construed,
and upon 1t there was a general discussion
as to the advisability of mastering the
volunteers out before tho regular army
was increased.
MIR. Cannon finally accepted the MoRae
amendment and that removed the only
shadow of opposition to the bill. A
number of amendments were auopteo up
on the recommendation of the committee,
which received some supplemental est1-
mates after the bill WAS prepared.
The largest of those wns an estlmats or
IS, O0,, ono for an emergency fund for the
war department and s57s, 900 for the
ordnance department increas.ng the
amount carried by ths bill to $69. so, 1872.
The conference report upon the bill to
render the sureties of oonsuls, vice consuls
and consular agents liable for damages In
suits at law. was adopted. The House
adjourned over until Monday to give the
COMMITTEES opportunity to work without
Interruption.
IN THE SENATE.
Washington, December s-The Senate
held short session to-day and then adj
iournsd until Monday afternoon, making
the Nicaraguan canal bill the unfinished
business before that body. MIR. Morgan
called up the measure, whereupon Mr..
Pettigrew moved to adjourn. This motion
failed, l3 ayes to AZ noes and the bill was
brought forward. Adjournment was i'm
mediately taken.
During the session Mr.. Vest stated his
opposition to the hurried manner of pass
ing pension bills in the Senate and gave
notice that he would insist upon a
quorum being present when the pension
bills were being acted upon.

John p WEIGH, who has participated
in many amateur productions here in
the past, made an excellent Colonel Mo-
Elroy. He showed himself to be thorough
ly familiar with the character, and his
acting was graceful and finished. In the
second act he sang "Off to Philadelphia
in the Morning." in manner that won
him an encore. and the love song, an old
Irish duty, which he rendered in the
same act. was one of the lest features of
the play. Mr.. John A. McGowaD, who
also has had much experience on the ama-
teur stage, acquitted himself we'll and
carried his difficult part in a most credit
able manner. He is much at home on
the stage, and some of his lines, especial
ly those at the close OF the second act
when he quarrels with young MoElroy
his former friend were delivered with a
dramatic force and power which won for
him much applause and q curtain call at
the end of the act.
Willard A Bowdoin, who took the part
of Lieut.. McElroy and Joseph P. Doug
lass, who appeared as James Greenhouse,
the william of the story, were 10th good.
Mr.. Bowdoin sang kathleen Aroon, -
composed by MissBernadette Moreau, with
words by Mr.. Manning, extremely we'll.
He has pleasant voice and only lacks
confidence in its. power to become a sing
or of exceptional merit. This song has a
vely pretty air and the words are also
quite pretty.
Frank J. Mitchell, as Wheels, John
H. Mitchell as Windy Bill, George B.
Littlefelu as Pittsburg, and Frank Clark
as Jim Stewart, all did we'll. Louis A.
McGowan as "Of" Wheeler, showed
himself to possess much dramatic ability.
He is easy in his manner and appears at
home upon the stage. His entrance and
exits were all well done. He carried out
the part of the Desperate and ruffian last
night in way which won for him many
rounds of applause which were we'll de.
served. Joseph d. Randall as Judge
Griffin, portrayed that difficult character
well.
Miss Bernadette Moreau took the part of
Goldis with grace and ease of manner
which quite won the commsndstion Of the
audience. She spoke her lines well and
made all that could be made out of the
character. Miss Marguerite Fisher as
Winnie, the ColoneIs daughter, Miss
Louise Sweeney as Rosie, the Colonel's
wife, and Miss Alice Gibson as the maid
all acquitted themselves well. Miss
Sweeney has very pleasing voice and,
sang another Of Miss Moreau's songs en-
titled "Eily,' so as to win for herself an
encore.
The play was we'll staged and carried
along quite smoothly for first night.
The performance will be repeated tonight
ana will undoubtedly be witnessed by
a large audience.
The Portland daily press., 1898-12-09

This begins IN tbs bar room and
Vaughan, despite the efforts of the Col
onel is convicted of murder and sent
enced to be hanged. At this point Goldin
arrives upon the scene and brings with
her yelled and apparently broksn.heart
ed woman, whom she says is Pittsbury's
widow. She pleads that Vaughan may
tie sentenced to marry the woman or be
hanged, and this is decreea by the cow
boy judge. 1t turns out that the yelled
woman is Winnie McEiroy, who imper-
sonates the dead mans widow and thus
saves Vaughan's life.
This in substance is the story of the
piece which is, of course, presented with
much moro elaboration and in which
many quaint and peculiar characters are
introduced, all of whom have minor
parts to play IN the Enrayelling of the
story. The cast of ''The Colonel'' is as
fnIlows.

NBWARKERs AGITATpD.

Newark Tsople who have telephonN
in their homes, are agitated by a ru1nor
that the Delaware and Atlantic Telo-
graph and Telephone Company will
promulgate an order compelling pay
ment OF fifteen cents for Wilmington
calls on that town. Some of them
have called up the company and asked
for information. and the reply received
was that no such order had yet gone
into effect. AS the Newarkers pay
S4S for their private telephones and as
most of their calls are with this city,
theydeclare that an order imposing a
fifteen cent tariff on calls from this
end of the line would practically de-
stroy the benefits which they derive
from the use of the telephone.
Some of them will wait on Manager
Mehaffey and ask for definite informa-
tion regarding the matter.
