WANT AMERICA TO
 HOLD THE PHILIPPINES.
That Is the Sentiment of the British People and They Do Not Hesi-
 tate to Say So.

New York, July 21. The London cor respondent of The Tribune writing un- der date of July 6, says;
 There is no reason to doubt that nearly all the influential leaders i'll public life are hoping that the Americans will re- tain control of the Philippines after the close of the war with Spain. They do not profess to be disinterested in their advice, nor to look at the question from an American point of view. They frankly admit that the occupation of the Philippines by either France, Ger many or Great Britain will subject the relations of European powers to dam gerous strain and they favor permanent American control of the group i'll the interest of peace.
 They are also sensible of the great ad- vantage which England will derive from the moral and diplomatic support Of the United States in all questions relating to China and the far east if the Ameri- can flag were raised at Manila for all time. As Englishmen with practical instincts and influenced by considera- lions of enlightened self interest they are outspoken and emphatic in express ing their hope that America will en- large her sphere of activities in the world s diplomacy and work.
 :. Lord Kimberly has been at the head of the foreign office and is one of the most cautious leaders of he Liberal par ty. The speech which he made at the American dinner this week was Of great significance and has been widely dis cussed here.
 Not word did he say about the Phil ippines, but the context involves the ap- plication. When Englishmen speak of the extension of American interests ito other parts of the world they do pot refer to the Spanish West Indies which are geographically close to America. Their thoughts are centered upon the Philippines and China where they ar- dently desire to see "sister nation stand by their side Lord Kimberly with less reserve than one would have expected from former foreign secre- tary, frankly confessed that American cooperation in that quarter would be 8 signal advantage to the English people.

PINT BLuTr, ARK, July 20, 1898. Editor Graphic:
 Mr. Arthur Murray in the Press. Eagle of the 18th fast. makes refer ence to me as follows:
 "Ye gods aud little fishesi Is it any wonder that ex Governor Clarke having dropped in the executive office and listened for few moments 10 the labored recitation of Chairman Shelby's little piece, refused an introduction at the hands of the Governor, and has since been in quiring where the Democrats of Jefferson county found it?
 This statement is infamously false. The facts are that was in Cover nor Jones office and after having been introduced 10 Lim by the At torney General, Mr. Trustworthy, I handed him some letters from citi- Sens of our county. While the Gov ernor was reading these letters, ex E Governor Clarke walked in. Cover. ner Jones remarked, addressing Mr Clarke, This is Ms. Shelby" to which Mr. Clark replied, q have met Mr. Shelby before This is all there is upoa which to found the re markable story published in the Prss Eagle The statement as made by MT. Murray, if true, would cause the public to believe that Cover nor Clarke IS an ungentlemanly man who would mistreat a fellow citizen without provocation or cause. Governor Clarke did not utter to me . slpgle word Of unkindness or dis. respect.

AUXILIARY FLEET
 WILL BE MAINTAINED
Needed for Service in the West Indies and Our Possessions in
 the Pacific.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The Washington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: Secretary Long has determined to retain in service all of the auxiliary vessels which were bought before and during the war This decision Is due to the necessity of maintaining a fleet of small vessels which can be of service in Cuban, Porto Rican, Hawaiian and Philippine waters after the treaty of peace shall have been signed The report of the Higgnson board recommended the sale of some twenty-five vessels and the recommends ton submitted by Captain Crowinshield suggests that seventeen of the vessels be sold.
 Secretary Long has directed the sale of the old monitor Wyandotte, which was built in 1862 at Cincinnati, O., and which was used as a coast defense vessel dur ing the war with Spain, The .Wyandotte is now at League Island and the depart ment officials say that she can be of no further service as a man-of-war The ship was $633 ,327 and since the civil war comparatively few repairs have been made. It is said that she will be bought and used in the future as a coal hulk.

This threw me completely out of my lines, and had to whistle for the curtain to descend
 'The foundation of all this trouble, said Manager Ali Ellinghouse of the Comedy Theater yesterday, Ties in the fact that the people know when the close of a play draws near. This is usually foreshadowed in the reconciliation of the stage lover. The auditors first thoughts are to get away, and they spoil the finale for those who do not know the denoue- ment People are naturally selfish and give no heed to the discomfort they may cause others.
 This condition is not peculiar to San Francisco, but obtains all over America. The evil of late coming has not troubled us as we made a rule at the opening of the theater that no one was to be seated during any act while the curtain was up. This does away with the slamming of seats and with the inconvenience of per sons already seated. It would be a mo- table advance if the people would lend their efforts to the correction of these twin abuses"

Charles TTallinquist. a riveter, and c. G. Burke, a r7aachiuist, both living at 1006 Tennessee street, are in the City Prison on charges of battery and disturbing the peace, but more serious charge may yet be booked agaIust them.
 tuIlN yesterday morning they went 10 the Milton lodging house, l56 l hird street and asked the proprietor John Carroul, for a room. CarTOUl showed them room and said the price would be 75 cents.

Is a custom that has come down with English comedies for several hundred years.
 On Saturday night Miss Blanche Bates stepped forward to deliver the lines which convey thanks to the audience She had hardly commenced to speak when there seemed a concerted movement on the part of the audience, especially those seated down stairs. Hats and wraps were re- sumed and the aisles were soon crowded. At a signal from MT. Frawley Miss Bates ceased speaking. The intent was so pal pablo that the offenders sank into. the nearest seats to escape observation. Those who had remained seated grasped the sit uation as quickly as the others and ap- plauded the stand taken by MT. Frawley.
 When quiet was restored Miss Bates concluded her lines.
 The evil which MT. Frawley desires to check is one of three which have agitated theatrical managers in many parts of the world. The other two are the wearing of high hats and the habit of arriving late at a performance. The former has been practically stricken from the list in this city. The other two baffie the ingenuity of the managers.

CALIFORNIA; CLAIM
 FOR WAR EXPENSES
Officers Arrive at Washington With the States Bill Against
 fha Government

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-GeneraI A. w Barrett and Colonel J. F. Burgin of San Francisco, bearers of Governor Budd' claim against the Government for equip- ments, etc, furnished by the State of Cali fornia in the war with Spain, arrived here to-day. They will call at the War Department tomorrow and present the claim to the adjutant general, who will refer it to the auditor of the War De- partment.
 As Californias claim is quite a way down on the list, it would under ordinary circumstances be some time before it could be considered, but General Barrett has taken every precauton to have the claim of his State meet every require ment of the Government. One great cause of the delay in auditing the claims of the several States has been due to fail ure to have proper receipts accompany the items of expenditure. General Bar pended, and 1t Is believed this will greatly expedite the allowance of the claim Cal ifornia was more energetic than any other State in having her troops mus more than two days between the enroll ment of troops and their muster in.
 The claim to be presented, amounting to something like $17O 900, does not in9 clude the pay of the men and officers while in the State service. While the claim was being prepared the question of rate of pay was a mooted one The au- ditor of the War Department had held that men between the date of enrolment an mastering in could only be allowed the same pay as when regularly in ser vice. The Comptroller of the Treasury has recently set aside this ruling, and California soldiers will be paid $2 per day the rate fixed by the statutes of the State. The officers, not having been mus tered in until two days after the Califor- nia soldiers, their pay claims will be rela- lively greater.

 She has been worried over her COndl- ton. he tearfuIN remarked to Sergeant Moititt and might have committed sul- eide. Saturday morning she told me she intended to visit St Luke'S Hospital 10 make arrangements for her approaching illness. She left home about O clock that afternoon and as she had not re turned in time 10 prepare the evening meal l became alarmed and started Tor the hospital. To my surprse ] was loid that she had not been there. After re- turning home l found that her photo- graph had been removed from the family album. Whether il was taken by my VII ] do not know.

West were responsible for the, practice of patrons leaving their seats before the close of a performance. Not so, how ever, as the people of Boston are pro- nounced greater offenders than the resi- dents of any other city in America. Again it is shown to be more matter of custom than of manners, as the boys of the gal Iery were never known to offend
 T am going to do all in my power to suppress this eveil," said Mir F'rawley yes terday. Tt Is a most trying thing for an actor to speak his lines with his auditors slamming seats and making other noises that disconcert him. It is sufficiently diff hcult to play to a mixed audience without being troubled in this manner. San Fran cisco is not alone in this respect. Boston is, if anything, a greater offender. I at tribute the evil solely to the people who attend the theaters from distance.
 There are many towns within short distance of Boston, and the people from there have ever in mind that bane of out-of-town life. the last car. The evil grew gradually and spread to people who had no last car to take, but who wanted to avoid the crush in the lobby. It has thus grown habitual with people other than those from out of town.
 Actors also suffer much from late
