Wasps Assist in a Tragedy.

"One of the most cOmical experiences
in the history of the stage said a
local manager the other day, "befell
the Tom Keene company not long ago
in a Northern New York town The
company was playing Julius Caesar
and at the last moment it was found
that the property man had failed to
send up the regular throne chair used
in the Senate scene, and an old rustic
chair was hastily procured from the
loft of the theater and after being
covered with draping was pressed into
service In the midst Of the scene a
large wasps nest was discovered at
tached to the chair, and it's inhabitants
becoming indignant at the disturbance
they had suffered. began to swarm
about the stage seeking revenge upon
the Romans in their low-necked and
short-sleeved dresses. The wasps
seemed to be particularly offended with
Caesar. and it is doubtful if Caesars
death scene was ever acted with more
feeling for at the moment he was be-
ing pierced by the conspirators dag
gers the wasps were most industrious
in their work
In the tent scene, where Caesar APP
pears to Brutus, one might almost have
doubted its being the true Caesar. It
was the same in form and dress, but
the face was no longer the same In
the last act Brutus had one eye closed.
Antony a swollen lip. Cassius an en-
larged chin, Lucius an inequality in
the size of his hands. and Octavius
Caesar a nose that would have done
service as the famous nose Of Bardolf
in Henry W.
The tragedy came very near becom-
ing roaring comedy. when Mr. Keene,
as Cassius, said, Antony. the posture
OF your blows is yet unknown. but for
your words, they rob the Hybla bees
and leave them honeyless.' and Mr..
Hanford. as Antony, replied. Not

CANADA'S CONCESSION,
It Will Open License Offices Upon
Two PasseS

WASHINGTON. March 13-UnofIi-
cial information has come to Western
Senators who supported the Alaskan
land and railroad bill and Section IL.
which has so aroused the rage of Cana
dams, that Canada is ready to concede
to America miners demonstrating
stations at the SUBMITS of Chilcoot and
White Passes. Intimation of this in
tention comes from one near the Brit
ish ambassador and is being used by
the lobby for the Mackenzie Mann pro-
jected railroad line from Glenora to
Lake TeSlin, in an effort to influence
the Conference Committee to strike out
Section Is
Representation is made that Canada
viii not consent to the concession of
free admission of miners outfits, as
that would involve too great Il change
IN Dominion tariff regulations, and pro
poses to meet the insistence upon the
fisheries concessions clause by propos-
ing new restrictions upon American
trade. This will leave nothing of See
ton IS but the granting of equal
rights to Americans with Canadians.
and upon this termination of the con-
ference Canada, it is said, will open
license offices on the passes"
The Canadians will force a conflict
with the United States on the intcrpre-
tation of the free navigation clause OF
the treaty of 1871, according to the
present understanding of the situation
here The belief is that the upper
house of the Canadian Parliament will
pass the Mackzenzie Mann exclusion

NEW Dry COCKS.
NOT SETTLED WHERE TEEy
WILL BE LOCATED.
The House Naval Committee Met,
but Reached No Conclusion
in the Matter.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The Ma
val Committee of the House did not
reach any conclusion to-day relative
to the number and location of the dry
docks to be authorized in the naval APP
preparation bill which is the main
question left open.
The general opinion in the commit
tee seems to favor three or four new
docks The Bunce board recommends
ed new ports at Portsmouth, \. H,
Boston, Algiers, Louisiana, and Mare
Island. and an enlargement of the dock
at League Island so that it will accom-
MEDIATE the largest battleships.
The Pennsylvania delegation is
straining every nerve to secure an en-
tirely new dock at League Island. Docks
capable of accommodating battleships
would have to have a depth of channel
leading to them of 30 feet and Com
modore Matthews of the Bureau of
Yards and Docks, who was summoned
before the committee to-day. rather
startled the committee by his state
ments as to the depth of the channel
to at least one of the proposed docks,
that at Mare Island, Cal He said
for two miles, and that it would re-
quire 100000 to dredgc it to the re
quisite depth of thirty feet. The chan
mel at League Island is about the same
depth.
This complexities the matter more or
less considerably, and when the com
mittee adjourned to-day little progress
toward q conclusion had been made
The committee has decided that one
of the three battleships they decided
to authorize yesterday shall be built
on the Pacific Coast These great war
vessels, which are to be the peers OF
any afloat, are to cost So, 600. 600 each.
instead of 100000 as reported yes
terday.
Chief Engineer Melville appeared be-
fore the committee to-day and urgent
~ recommended an increase Of 100 in
the engineer officers of the navy. He
said such an increase was imperative
iy necessary. These additional en-
gineers, if authorized, would have to
be appointed from civil life.
Representatives Russell Hill and
Sperry of Connecticut Were before the
committee to oppose the recommended
ton of the Ordnance Bureau for the
establishment of a Government cart
ridge factory. The bureau recon-
mended an appropriation of 500, 900 for.
this purpose. The business of making.
cartridges is large industry in Con-

DiSappOintments Tint Come to Some Sum-
mer Visitors to New York.
Now Is the time when the tourist Is abroad In
the land, and the crowds at the New York hotels
are emphatically transient. Every one is on his
way TO some place and has planned to devote a
day or two to New York In passing. It is too
early for the crowd Of men. That invasion
comes later. Just now there's a family charac-
ter to the visiting throngs; and countless small
boys and girls are being introduced to the won
ders OF New York. It's hot work for the parents.
but the children are having q great time. and
after three days visit they know more about
the town than the oldest inhabitant. Grant's
tomb and the Art Museum, the Aquarium and
Greenwood Cemetery, Coney Island and High
Bridge are as familiar to them us their home
doorsteps. The mother and father think that
the distances are great in New York, but the
children sigh for more worlds to conquer.
