Shortly aftcr the Central officials learned of

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-The Acorn Club, the

or an accident.
For some time the question of serving wine
has been discussed, but the matter came to o

ing OF the club. 1t was known that the question
was to be decided. and both sides were arranged
ageous enough to take an open stand for a tip
pie, and when 1t was seen that the. prohibition
lists were greatly in the majority the advocates
OF a change in the constitution retired from the
field and the motion was voted down unani-
mously.
Since the club was organized, several years
ago. an ironclad rule forbiddinstt.e use OF any
Intoxicating liquor within It's portals, except
for medicinal purpose, has been rigidly enforced.
Some of the ladies chafed under this provision
of the constitution, feeling that it hampered
them considerably in entertaining at the club.
Ice water and apollinaris were the only cooling
drinks served. and those who wanted the rule
give their guests at the club what they set be-
fore them Mt their homes. But the majority
have thought differently. and every one 10 glad
that the vexed question has at last been settled.

Daily Netus practically advocates q policy Of
scutte, saying let othor powers take what thcy
like in China, but Great Britain must insist
that they shall not interfere with her trade.
Such IL the outlook for 1898 from the standpoint
Of the British press.
The Continental journals, on the other hand,
are entirely different in tone. These news
papers, including those OF Paris, Berlin, and
Vienna, have been impressed with the idea that
events Of great magnitude are impending, but
each, from the patriotic standpoint, seems to
take tho bellicoso view that their respective
countries havo little TO lose and much TO gain
by any possible development Of the situation.
THE Sun is enabled 10 say that In tho event
OF trouble in the far East the Canadian militia
have an opportunity-of covering themselves
with glory. The War Department and tho Ad.
miralty have between them drawnu MP a scheme
whereby q battalion of this militia viii DO hur-
ried to Hong Kong from Vancouver the mo-
mont war seems imminent. They would reach
China long before any force from England could
get there. and, 1t is thought, their cooperation
would boom the imperial unity idea. Pre-
sumably the views Of the Dominion Govern.
ment had been ascertained beforehand, and
some steps had been taken to find out whether
the gallant militiamen would DO willing to fol-
low glory to the cannon's mouth.
The Admiralty has issued an official state.
ment showing that, according to the latest ad-
vices, seven Of the warships attached to the
British China squadron arc at Chemulpo, the
port Of Seoul, Corea, and two at Port Arthur,
on the Regents Sword Peninsula, China.
It 10 added that tho report that mercantile
cruisers or the naval reserves on the China
station are being brought into active service is
absolutely untrue.

TO GUST oIrY MAGISTRATES.
Croker vvnnts the once Asolshcd-Ir Not This
Ienr, Then Next Wear.


Richard Croker Is determined to get rid Of the
City Magistrates appointed by Mayor Strong.
He vents them wiped of the Greater New
York map" The City Magistrates arc
ten in number at $500 a year for
ten years. They were appointed by Mr.. Strong
after the passage of a bill at Albany requiring
the Police Magistrates of New York county to
be lawyers. Later on. by an amendment, eE-
Police Justices were made eligible.
Mr.. Croker told his friends yesterday that q
bill to abolish the office OF City Magistrate
would DO introduced at Albany, and Mr.. Croker
believes that the bill oan get through the
Assembly certainly and with q struggle
may DO got through the Senate, which is largely
Republican. Mr. Croker says that most of Mr..
StronR's appointments to tho police bench Of
New York city have been ridiculous, and Mott
and Pool ara cited as instances to substantiate
his criticisms. Mr.. Croker says that Police
Magistrates should be appointed from the rank
and hlc Of the people inasmuoh as they have to
do with the everyday doings Of the people,
and should not necessarily be lawyers.
Mr.. Cookers friends, 1t was made known, are
counting on Republican Assemblyman Charles
8. Adler of the Eighth New York district to help
them out in pushing through the bill In
tho Assembly to abolish the office Of
City Magistrate. 1t Is well known that
thO hNtpupsSuh conhNoTb W6Eb RTButly CnuRElneu
at Mr.. Strong's selections for the Magistrates
bench and that they care little or nothing for
the majority Of Mr.. Strong's appointees. These
Republican Senators say that MI. Strong took
especial pains on all occasions To affront In his
appointments tho Republican organization Of
New York county.
Consequently. 1t is made known by those COM
potent to speak, that unless "the brakes
are put on somewhere there IL q good
prospect that q bill to abolish tho
present City Magistrates will go through at
Albany. Mr.. Croker's friends say that Gov.
Black might stand in the way Of any such
scheme, and II he does. all well and good.
"Then," they addod. "woll wait until
next winter, when we are dead sure
OF having the Legislature and the Gov.
ernor. too. Not q Republican Senator will
be elected In New York county. Pavey,
Page and Ford are to go by the board next fall
sure. and Brush, Wray and Wieman will share
the same fate in Brooklyn. Then. too. not
a Republican Assemblyman will be elected
in any part Of the now city. So that IL we fail
in getting rid of Strong's City Magistrates In
New York county this fall. we'll certainly get
there next fall.

LONDON. Jan. 1.-Sir Henry Irving's return to

was the occasion Of q great ovation, such as he,

reorganized company contains no less than four
Americana. all Of whom appeared In important
roles and received q hearty welcome.
Mr.. Irving gained tonight what some Of his
critics have boon inclined to deny him, namely,
tho title Of q great actor as we'll as o great
artist. This was. perhaps. due to his natural
desire to make . success Of his sons play of
Peter the Great" He succeeded, despite the
rather crude and unsatisfactory material OF the
piece, which, while intensely dramatic, is not
sustained In its ambitious attempt to deal ado
quately with tho terrible story Of the brutal
Cars sacrifice of his son. It's occasional strong
passages Of classical English were almost de-
stroyed by touches Of modern slang. while it
also suffers from too great realism. which makes
Mr.. Barrett's "Slgn of tho Cross " too terrible
for the stage. Sir Henry, however, played his
part rs one inspired. and made of 1t o veritable
triumph.
The whole burden Of the drama was on his
shoulders. Miss Terry's part being almost triv.
ial. and 1t 10 difficult to believe that Mr.. Irving
can bear the physical strain that would DO en-
tailed by q long run.
The two other successes Of tho evening were
achieved by Miss Ray Rockman, who appeared
as tho divorced wife of Peter. and Mr.. Robert
Tabor. who took the part Of The Csare,rftch.
Mics Rookmsn's was an exceedingly difficult
role. which made all the more creditable the
striking success she won % o strong actress and
