The atmosphere of the Emerald Isle,
of old Killarney with it's lake, its sweet
voiced people and it's merry music, per-
meates 'An Irish Gentleman" which was
presented for the first time in this city
at the New National last night by An
drew Mack and a most capable support
ing company. The Andrew Mack of today
differs as radically from the Mack who
not long since as "Myles Aroon" in
ficted himself upon too-willing public
as that same Aroon does from Sol. Smith
Russell, Nat. Goodwin, W. II. Crane or
any other of the iirst-class actors of their
grade. Advancement is seldom so rapid
and if rapid, is seldom, if indeed ever, so
complete and pleasing. The player as he
is now is a marvel in comparison with
the Mack of YEAR ago. He has retained
all his old merit and has added to them
in their kind. He is a notable addition to
the depleted ranks of true artists.
IAN Irish Gentleman is not above
technical criticism as a play, but the pre-
sentation is such that it would, indeed,
be a hard-hearted and fault-iinding per-
son who would hold the actor response

RECIPROCITY WITH FRANCE.
Tho President Issued q Proclamation An.
nouncing the Arrangement Of
Treaty.

WASHINGTON, May 91.-The president
issued proclamation late yesterday
afternoon, in which he said:
Whereas, Pursuant to ssction 8 Of
the act of congress approved July "a,
1897, entitled AN act to provide revenue
for the government and to encourage
the industries Of the United States.
The governments of the United States
and Of the French republic have in the
spirit of amity and with desire to i'm.
prove their commercial relations, en-.
tered into a commercial agreement, in
which reciprocal and equivalent conces.
sions have been in the Judgment of the
president secured according to the pro.
visions of said section, whereby certain
articles Of commerce, being the products
and manufactures of the United States
are to be admitted into France on and
after the first day of June, 1898, at the
minimum rate Of duty, and in turn GER
tain articles Of French manufacture are
admitted into the United States on sim.
liar terms.
The particular advantages secured by
the United States are ON meat products
and lard compounds, France reducing
her rates one-half on meat products and
about one-third ON lard compound. The
chief benefits to France are in reduc.
tion in rates on brandies, stilled wine,
vermuth and works of art.

General Merritt issued an order for

The work of preparing the steamers
Zealandia, China and Colon for the re.
ception Of troops is progressing, though
rather slowly. The Zealandia needs
very little alteration to fit her for ser.
vice and can be prepared for sea in 4S
hours, providing her cargo has been
slowed and trimmed. The China is
still unloading at her dock, but force
of carpenters is at work fitting hunks
and making other necessary repairs and
the same may be said of the Colon.
The steamers Centennial and Ohio,
which, with the three vessels named,
make up the five vessels to comprise
the second fleet Of transports, have not
yet arrived from Puget sound. 1t is
not expected that the feet can leave
here before the middle of next week at
the earliest.
The question what regiments will
make up the second expedition to the
Philippines is agitating the men at the
camp greatly. They all want to go,
but as there are already over 12, 900 men
and more coming, and the second ex-
pedition is to be made up of only 5000
men, there will be many disappoint-
ments.' There are now five volunteer
regiments ready-the Colorado, the
Seventh California, the Minnesota
Nebraska and Pennsylvania.
Every possible effort to get them into
shape for service has been made and in
view of this activity to get these regi-
ments fully equipped 1t looks as if they
with the regulars now here, will con-
stitute the major portion of the second

Of the United States army recruiting

man receiving applicants for the regular

made his first call for troops there was
a falling off, and only few of those
who applied were willing to enlist while
an opening remained in the ranks Of the

retarding influence was the fact that
men for only certain branches of the

Since the increase of the regular

were opened, and those enlisting We're
thoroughly in earnest about going to the

as large as expected, and the state of
Cincinnati from the ranks of the vari.

The news that governor Bushnell pro.
poses to meet the call with apportion.
ments from the various counties in the
State affords but little cheer to many of
those in Cincinnati, and rather than be
left behind they are rushing to the
United States army. Among the many
callers upon Captain Adams at this
time is large number of colored men,
nearly all of whom want to 90 into the
cavalry service. All ablebodjed men
with moral character are being received
and shipped away to the Tenth cavalry
at New Orleans. The heaviest of the
white men are placed, when they will
permit of it, into the heavy artillery
service at Ft. Sullivan, S. o.
The men have been coming in at the
rate of ten day for the past week, at
which rate an army could be raised in
a short time. The men are clothed here
and shipped away as rapidly as possible.
Hardly day has passed in ten that 1
body Of men from the recruiting office
on Fourth street has not been shipped

are from Kentucky, In the last month
