At present the Gar would have con
siderable difficulty in supplying an
army in Manchuria. as he would be
confined largely. if not altogether. to
land transportation. the united navies
Of Great Britain and Japan being prob
ably able to close the seas to his use.
SO. as far rs the relative strength Of the
parties in China is concerned, the mill
tary advantages are on the side Of the
Anglo-Japanese alliance. Japan is not
particularly concerned in other parts
Of the world. and in this may possibly
prove an uncomfortable ally, and drive
England into hoStiiities, whether or no.
Ii may be true that Lord Salisbury has
reached the conclusion that he must
fight if his country is not to sink 10 the
level Of a secOnd-class power. and the
fan in British securities, and especially
in Consois, on the London stock eX-
change. looks very much like it, But.
as The Times has explained hitherto.
England is not in a favorable situation
for war at the present time. We say
this on the theory that the good under
standing between Germany and Russia
is sull intact OF course. if Emperor
Wilhelm were 10 desert his friend Mich
olas and join the Anglo-Jspanese COM
bine. with his $50, 000 troops. that would
change everything materially. In that
case he could probably prevent the
Sultan from cutting up with a holy
war, and an attack upon the English
in Egypt But if he is true TO Russia.
Lord Salisbury would have a hot time
in store for himself and his lion.

REFUSES TO CONCUR ON FIVE.
Senate Amendments Unsatisfactory
to the House.

Senate Amendments Unsatisfactory
to the House.
The House yesterday refused to con-
cur in five amendments made by the
Senate to the urgent deficiency bill
They included the Nicaragua Canal
Commission, the new city postoffice, for
the establishment of a fishcultural sta
ton in California, for electric light
plant for the Marion branch, and for
fuel, oil and cotton waste and adver-
Using for the heating apparatus, exclu-
sive of labor, for the Senate, s9,671.6O,
and for miscellaneous items. exclusive
of labor, $4,000.
These amendments were referred 10
Messrs. Cannon. Northway, and BARD
as the House conference committee.
who will join a similar committee 10
be appointed by the Senate, ana en-
deavor to arrange for notifications
that will be satisfactory TO each BODY.
During the proceedings attending
this action by the House, the debate
over the provision for minis and assay
Offices livened up matters considerably.
The Senate had amended this item by
striking out that hereafter, in addi-
ton to the charges now imposed upon
deposits of gold bullion at any of the
assay offices or minis, the cost OF
transporting such bullion TO the mints
where the same is TO be coined shall be
collected from the depositor Of the
same
This provision was a pet. one of Mr.
Cannon of Illinois, and il was bitterly
contested when the House first passed
the urgent deficiency bill, the Western
members insisting that the Government
should continue to pay the cost OF
transportation. The bill was passed by
a bare majority. and the friends Of the
Western minis began their work on the
Senate with the result that the OBJ
noxious paragraph was stricken out
and the law remained as hitherto.
Mr.. Cannon yesterday renewed his
fight on this item. He made a bitter
speech i'm which he asserted il cost the
Government 81 n thousand more to
transport gold to Denver or DeadwOod
than IL did to Philadelphia or New Or
leans. He denounced this as bounty
and declared that such a law should not
exist, and asked the House to override
the action of the Senate. In this de-
mand he was met with an earnest ap-
peal by Mr. Bland Of Missouri; Mr..
Newlands of Nevada, and Mr.. Shat
roth of Colorado. who declared that
Mr. Cannon's effort was made for the
purpose Of centralizing all the gold Of
this country in the East. They claimed
that this could not be done if the minis
in the West were permitted 10 coin gold
on the same basis as has heretofore
been the custom.
When the time arrived for a vote on
this item Mr.. Cannon asked that il be
separated from the rest and voted on
alone This was done. and the House
decided by a vote of IA to 112 to concur
i'm the Senate amendment, and Mr.
Cannon was beaten.

ZOla and his friends in Paris have
counted on securing a public trial OF
his case, and thus seiZing an oppor-
tunity to introduce and publish testi
mony i'm their possession, bearing on
the alleged Innocence of Dreyfus. the
Devils Island prisoner BY a bit of
clever finesse the French government
has circumvented this plan. Instead Of
prosecuting Zola on the most sensa-
tional and serious charges contained
in his famous letter to President Faure.
he is to be tried only for some COM
paratively mild criticism of the Ester
hazy court martial. and this. under the
law OF the Republic, can be done in
camera. Whether it is a complete
checkmate or not remains to be seen.
If il 50 turns out, it is a great pity.
The world ought To know the inside
history Of one of the most aggravated
national scandals of the decade.

exists in the palace at Havana, as it
is thought likely TO fall into the hands

notorious in Havana. and are not denied
by the Spanish authorities there; but
the Spanish press service in that place
coolly takes the news and turns per-

feat for months into Spanish victory.
That is not a remarkably reliable news
service. whatever may be said Of its
able editing in the interests of Spain.

COMING TO THE THEATERS.

Never Again" which begins its
Washington engagement next Monday
night at the National, is one Of the
finest, as it is the latest. of the Froh-
man comedies, and has made a record
of two hundred nights at the Garrick
Theater, in New York, three months at
HoOley's in Chicago, a month at the
Boston Museum, and a fortnight at the
Broad Street, in Philadelphia. 1t is an
adaptation, by Henry Guy Carleton, of
a French comedy, lie True de Sera-
pbin,' and in IL gay old gentleman,
NJ. RibOt (played by l.. NJ. HOllandJ
gets into a very embarrassing prediCa-
ment through his desire to be gayer
than old gentlemen really ought to be.
He enters into Irritation with a pref
~ young woman, Mrs. Octayie Kat
zenJammer (pIayed by Miss Grace
kimbalD and eventually encounters
her husband and several other people.
The play is constructed on the lines of
legitimate comedy. in which this ex-
cellent company of players are all at
their best. The company includes HUI
go Holland. Samuel Reed, George Ma
rion. James Kearney, Charles Eldredge
Joseph McKever. Anita Rothe, Marie
Devickson, Maggie Montgomery Fisher
and several other well-knOwn and ar
tistic comedians. All the characters
are thoroughly individualiZed and no
two of them are at all alike. except a
few schoolgirls who are alike in being
all pretty. The play has been pro-
nounced the best OF it's class since
Pink Domincs.'

The room is dim, the logs burn low,
But in the fitful flash | see
Upon the wall the sunbeams glow
Thr0uglthe greenbranchesof the tree.
The backlog sputters, and hear
The forests lesfy summer note.
And in the waves of smoke appear
The blue pool of the wood remote.

Ascends a throbbing golden spark
A FREELY drifting on its way
Across the lonely marish dark.

Hoyt's latest success. a Stranger in
New York comes to the Lafayette
Square next week and the name Of il
suggests to everyone those Hoytian
possibilities which are so replete with
adventure and humOT. The play lives
up TO these expectations. Ii deals with
the experiences of a Western man who
has never seen New York and who is
taken in tow by crowd of jolly people
who have. seen it and are delighted TO
show it to him. The opening scene is in
the Hoffman House. where the Western
man picks up a letter introducing one
l. Collier Downe TO a New York club
man. Delivering the letter. the inno-
cent stranger is taken for I. Collier
Downe, and treated to a good time re-
CARELESS of expense. One of the acts
takes place at the French ball, which
gives opportunity for some dancing and
some fun. The real /. Collier Downe
and his friend. Cummin Swift. watch
the proceedings with interest, but do
not dare to stop them, for personal rea-
sons, and. altogether. all through the
play, the way of the transgressor Is
rather thorny and his performances
more productive of mirth in others than
amusing to himself. Harry ConOrs
plays the Western man, and il is said
to be one of his best roles. Harry Gil
foil has a very good part in the char
acter of an old New York clubman
who acts rather like a dilapidated bar
on and finds occasions for some spec
ialties in the course of the play. One
of the most attractive features of the
production is the appearance Of Sadie
Martinez. in the part of a pretty South
ern widow-grass widow-in which she
wears some very stylish gowns and
sings some very catchy songs.
