commuters UP IN arms
A Protest Meeting Held at
Wizards Hotel.
OBJECT TO HIGHER RATES
willing to Comply With the Photograph
RuIe-A Committee to Confer with the
baltimore Travellers = Trains to BE
Canvassed for Financial Aid-Another
Session to BE Held Here Next Week.

A meeting of commuters travelling be-
tween Washington and Baltimore was
! held at Wizards Hotel last evening to
| protest against the action of the Balti-
more and Ohio and Pennsylvania Rail-
road companies in discontinuing the sale
| of quarterly Communication tickets.
John Fleming was made chairman. L.
E. Freeman treasurer and T. NJ. Wed
ford secretary Several speeches were
made. The sentiment of the meeting was
| that while there was no objection to the
new rule requiring photographs to be
attached to monthly Communication tickets.
there was a decided objection to the in
creased rates, amounting TO $40 per an
mum.
Particular stress was laid upon the fact
that no discontinuance of the sale of
quarterly Communication tickets is made
between intermediate points and the cities
named by the prospective plan of the
railroad companies.
committee was appointed to meet a
similar committee from the Baltimore
commuters, consisting of the following:
John Fleming, chairman; II. j. Daily, Sr..
]. Warren Johnson. l. f. Freeman and
Mr.. Brockway, of the firm OF Fred &
Brockway
A committee was also appointed to can
vass the trains between Washington and
Baltimore for financial aid The commit
tee consists of the following Frank E.
Newton. chairman; Burdette Stryker L.
NJ. Medford, H. ]. DAILY, Jr.
committee of three was also appoint
ed to wait upon the Business Mems Asso-
ciation OF Washington and solicit their
cooperation. 1t consists of ]. Fleming.
L. E. Freeman and II. ]. DAILY. Sr.
The Travellers Protective Association
has signified its intention of taking up the
hight of the commuters and lending its
aid.
The commuters say they are willing to
do anything to protect the railroads
against the Illegal use of tickets. but OBJ
ject strongly to the increased cost of
transportation.
The meeting, 1t is said, would have been
much more largely attended but for the
inability of those in charge to communi-
cate with their fellow travellers. owing TO
the short notice given and the interfer-
ence of the railroad officials in Baltimore
by their removal of the placard announc-
ing the intended meeting of the COM
muters in the two cities.
When the committees OF the Washing
ton and Baltimore commuters have con-
ferred and decided upon plan of action
joint committee will wait upon the rail-
road officials and tender their protest
against the increased rates of travel. They
say they are willing to make any reason
able compromise to protect the railroad
companies and do justice to themselves.
The meeting adjourned until Wednesday
evening of next week. AT that time the
commuters expect to have a large and en-
thusiastic session, when plans to present
their protest to the railroad officials will |
be definitely settled upon.

The regular bi-monthly meeting of the
Optimist Club was held last evening at

Fox. The following selections from An
dersen's works were given: THE Night
ingale." Miss H. Ida Curry; THE Chin
ney Sweep Percy Brown; THE Swine
herd" Mrs. Emily 5. Hart and The

Rena Jordan and Mrs. Jennie Brown. who
rendered adaptations from the authors
works. Instrumental music was fur
nished by Miss Carrie Jordan and Prof.

THINGS THEATRICAL.

With dripping umbrellas and upturned
trousers, with uncurled hair and danger
Gus tempers, the audience assembled last
| night at the Lafayette for the purposa of
nearing Olga Nethersole in her last Amer
lean success. Carmen After the gath
| ering had been completed there were no,
many vacant seats in the house though
the average spectator remained in a bad
+! humor until some time about the middle
, OF the first act. for even scenes in sunny
Seville cannot always induce one to forget
the presence of distinctly London fog
nor can the heat of virago's passion drv
| damp clothing. Miss Nethersole probably
never had more disadvantages against
which TO labor and probably never won a
more signal victory.
Carmen is an abominably long play
When dt was first produced in New York
one of that city's facetious critics re-
marked that. though the cigarette girl
was wicked all night she did not die un-
til early in the morning Fortunately
the work is also one of absorbing interest
and one is not likely 10 devote much at
tention 10 time while its scenes are being
enacted before him. Like '.The Second
Mrs. Tanqueray." the dramas greatest
quality is its impressiveness. Thoroughly
hard and brutal in its relation. unbroken
by particle of suggestion and unmixed
with softening music, the beholder is fire.
quently struck fairly in the face with the
reality of the. story. Carmen is an uncom-
promisingly bad woman. There is moth
ing to commend and little to excuse her.
One cannot gid her in his Imagination as
he does even Mrs. Tanqueray nor urge
things in her favor as ne does with Ca
mile, nor yet ind extenuatine circum-
stances in her favor as he does with half
the other feminine fiends known to the
stage. Carmen is not only a prostitute
she is parasite and liar and a traitress.
And in Olga Nethersole play no one is
ever permitted TO doubt the fact for
single instant.
As was said yesterday morning. Miss
Nethersole is admirable in such work.
She is convincing in every detail of her
creation-she draws her conception with
a heavy hand and then shades it with the
power of animal force and the reserve of
intellectual strength No more sensual.
passionate, voluptuous woman than her
Carmen has ever been seen on the local
stage-no more forceful, reserved and
ideal a portrayal has ever come to the at
tention of local critics.
The Don Jose of T. B. Thalberg was
only second to that given in New York
by William Farnum. who was perhaps
the most able of Miss Nethersole's lead
ing men. Mr.. Thalberg acted with dis
cretion and ability. A. S. HomewA,d
made an excellent Don Manuel; Hamil-
ton Revelle was convincing as the torea-
dor, and w. Graham Browne made an
exceptional sergeant. All the remainder
of the cast deserved praise for its de-
tailed and conscientious work, among
those who had the greatest opportunities
being Leonard Outram, Harry Leonards.

INTERESTS OF THE VATICAN.
Nothing Known of Alleged Assurance es
From the President.

1t is said by the Catholic Church au-
thorities here that nothing whatever is
known of the alleged assurances from
President Mckinley to the Vatican in re-
gard to the protection of the interests OF
the church against the depredations of
the insurgents in the Philippines or else
where.
1t is believed that these reports are an
outgrowth of a recent visit of Archbishop
ireland to this city, at which time he
called at the White House and conversed
with President Mckinley in a general way
on the political conditions of the hour. 1t
is probable that some reference was also
made to the peace and order which the
United States would seek to bring about
in all its colonial dependencies. although
there is nothing known of official assur-
ances in this direction.

The Cincinnati unininred.

The bureau of navigation yesterday re-
ceived a cablegram from Capt. Chester, in
command of the cruiser Cincinnati which
ran aground in Santiago Harbor, stating
that his vessel had been pulled off the
mud and was found to be uninjured. Capt.
Chester gave as the reasons for the cruiser
running ashore that the buoys We're mis-
placed and the chart incorrectly marked,
owing to the poor survey of the harbor.
