ANUSEHBATS
THE COTTON KING"

A fair-sized audience assembled at
the Opera House last evening despite
the stormy weather, TO witness the pro-
duction of "rhe Cotton King" by the
King Dramatic Company. The scenery
of the play was far above the average
generally used here, and the portrayal
OF the characters was all that could be
desired. Kirk Brown, as Jack Osborne,
the cotton king, and George II. Rowe,
as James Shillinglaw, the engine
driver, filled their parts cleverly. Miss
Margaret Dibdin, as Hedty Drayson,
Jacks sweetheart, was as charming as
usual. Orlin Kyle portrayed the vii
liam of the plot in his usual masterful
manner This afternoon the company

anybody applauding its scenes, while

TO COIN SILVER.
Senate Agree. to That but Wants TO Issue
Honds.

Washington. June 3-while the
war revenue measure was not passed
by the Senate to-day, two very impor-
tant votes Were taken. one on propo-
sition To coin the silver bullion In the
treasury and to issue silver certificates
against the coin. and the other on the
bond proposition, presented by the Re
publican minority OF the committee on
finance.
In lieu OF the seignioragc amendment
offered by the majority of the finance
committee. Mr.. Wolcott proposed an
amendment authorizing the SECRETARY
Of The treasury II clln The silver bullion
in the treasury and TO issue silver GER
tificates against 1t. After some dis
cussion vote was reached and the
amendment was agreed to. As to 81,
several Republicans voting for 1t.
Mr.. Aldrich tRepublican, Rhode Is
land then pressed the amendment of
the minority of the finance committee
providing for the issue of S100, 900, 900
of certificates Of indebtedness and
$500, 100000 of bonds, TO be used ex-
clusiyely for the payment of the ex-
penses of the war. After an extended
debate the question was brought TO an
issue, and, by decisive vote of 45 to
81, the bond amendment was incorpor-
abed in the bill as a substitute for the
amendment TO issue legal tender notes.
The bond proposition received the
votes of thlrty-seven Republicans, sew
en- Democrats and one Populist. The
Democrats who voted for it Were:
Messrs. Caffery, Faulkner, German,
Gray, Lindsay, Mitchell and Murphy,

prise all around. and II he continues
his present policy much longer he
will dcmoralize Tammany as thor
ouEhly as he has disturbed the rest of
the population.
a few short months only have been
needed 10 demonstrate to the salts
faction of all concerned that there
WAS u serious mistake in the selection,
and Mr. Croker has gone TO Europe
to hide his chagrln. for although his
loyalty to Tammany is not ques-
toned, Mayor Van wyck has proved
to be a man OF despotic disposition
and TO possess an Independence as au-
tocratic and an individuality as
marked MS that OF the great sachem.
He is rendering faithful service 10 the
organization TINT elected him, but he
does IL in his own way. at his own
time. and selects his own instru-
ments without regard to the opinions
or the preferences of the men who
placed him In power.
Mayor Van Wyck began his official
career by removing all the members
OF the many boards and commissions
by which New York has for years
been governed and substituting men
OF his own who We're willing to sub
nit TO his dictations and obey his or
ders. Some of the boards and COM
missions believe themselves beyond
his jurisdiction. having been created
by the Legislature and appointed by
the governor OF the state. and have
appealed to the courts TO protect them
In their official capacity, but Judge
Van Wyck has not been intimidated
hx- this NChnf ha will
be sustained or not is question, but
his confidence In his own authority is
unshaken.
His next step was to revise and re-
woke the regulations governing the
civil service OF .hc municipality SO as
10 bring the subordinate officials under
his control. Then he attacked the
financial system OF the several bor-
oughs comprising the city OF Greater
New York. dlscrediting loans that
have been made from time to time
during the last several years for pub
lie improvements and other purposes,
suspending the payment OF interest,
so that some of the bonds issued at

dollar and VIII need an act OF the leg
islattire TO restore their value.
His last act was 10 overhaul the po-

commissioners and appointed in their
places men who Will obey his orders.

city. because the bureau of elections

and unless something is done TO de-
priye him OF the power Mayor Van
wyck may be able to control the next
state and presidential elections.
The Republicans and reformers have
become so thoroughly frightened that
they are now appealing TO the gov
ernor to call special session OF the
legislature for the purpose OF cutting
