ME PASSION PLAY.

Tonight the Passion Play closes
what has been one of the most remark
able engagements in the history of
Wilmington, and Manager Freeman
says the most successful first week he
has had since the pictures were taken
out. Next week an engagement in the
towns of New Jersey will be filled, and
on the week following the pictures will
be shown in Baltimore at the large Mu-
sic Hall. Now that the people of Will
mingtCn have realized the nature of the
performance they have wondered under
what skillful guidance the pictures are
produced. Last night a reporter tried
to interview Alessrs. II. w. 4<eeler and
w. H. Masterson, the two electricians
who. ensconced in their canvas cage,
would not admit an outsider. as there
are secrets connected with their
method of throwing the pictures that
are very dear to them. 1t was only
necessary for the reporter to explain
his mission, and he was admitted as q
full member.
The two electricians are busy as they
can be, one feeding the film and at
tending to one side of the cinemeto-
graph, the other looking after the film
after it has passed the light. A persOI
can realize the responsibility attending
their position when it is known that il

WAITER DAMROsCH SUED.

A dispatch from Philadelphia says
that suit was begun in the Common
Pleas Court. Philadelphia, yesterday
by Walter Bacon against Walter Dam
rosch, to recover $1,7S5 and interest
from April s, 1894, which he says is due
him under these circumstances. On
January 20, 1894, Bacon alleges, that
he was engaged by Damrosch through
an agent to arrange for a series Of per-
formances of German opera in this
city. Damrosch to pay all costs and ex-
penses and beside to give Bacon 10
per. cent. of the gross receipts Of the
performances. -Four Of these perform
ances were arranged at the Academy
of Music under the auspices OF the
Citizens Permanent Relief Committee
of which the mayor of the city, Edwin
S. Stuart, was president. They were
given on April 2, 4, and z, 1894, and
the total receipts amounted to $4,000
which would make Bacon's share ST.
200. He also claims $685. as Legitimate

THE OPPORTUNITY OF THE SEN
ATE

Now that the Consular and Dlplo-
matte Appropriation bill is in the
hands of the Senate, the friends Of
Cuba have an advantage that they did
not possess when It was before the
House. At that time all the PROPOSE
tions for amendments in the interest of
the Cuban patriots had to come from
private members on the floor, and could
be ruled out on points of order. There
is no Reed there, and the business in
terests" of the stock brokers cannot
suppress all warm-blooded American
sentiment
The Senate can amend the Consular
and Diplomatic Appropriation bill in
any way it pleases. 1t can provide fer
the recognition of Cuban beligerancy
| Better still, it can insert an apprOpri-
alton for a minister to be accredited
/ to the Republic of Cuba. Such a min
lister would have much less difficulty
in finding that government than ouI
minister to Mexico had in finding
Juarez when Maximilian was occupy
| ing the centre of the stage in the sister
republic.
If the bill went back to the House
| with such an amendment the speaker
| could not prevent a direct vote on the
| Cuban question. There would frs
have to be a vote On the question Of
concurring in the amendment. If the
House refused to concur, a firm resis
tance on the part Of the Senate confer
ees would compel another vote, thi
time more direct than the first. If tn
Senate conferees yielded every point o
difference except on the Cuban matter
the representatives Of the House woul
have either to concede that or repor
, their inability to reach an agreemen
. and ask for further instructions. L
either case the House would have
, vote directly on the Cuban affair, wit
no chance of Disgusting it under ques
ton of order.
. The Senate is the strategic point j
our relations with Cuba now. Let tn
friends of the patriots make the mo!
Of their opportunities there, and tn
q car Of the House will have the mo-
uncomfortable quarter of an hour !
!. has ever encountered.-New York Jou
