The lieutenant commander pointed to
the indicators and signal tubes on the

they were shot off we would shout our

Colonel Bryan acknowledged the COM

EARL NOT TO ACT.
Rosslyn Says Other Business Affairs
Will Prevent His Fulfilling the
Contract With Frohman.

London, April 2O.-New York society
and the playgoing public as well are to
have a disappointment this season.
The young earl of Rosslyn, who is
known on the stage as James Erskine,
is not to visit New York after all. 1t
is true that he has signed a contract
with Charles Frohman to play a sea-
son in New York, and had been granted
a four weeks engagement at least, but
it is not to be carried out.
Il am very sorry" the earl said to-
day, for L had been looking forward
with great pleasure to visiting New
York, but private and other matters
have cropped up which will not allow
me to go. Later on if 1 get a chance
1 shall be glad to go, for I am very
fond of acting and want to see America,
but it can't be just yet. Possibly Mr..
Frohman may want to sue me, but
whether he goes to that length or not
it cannot affect my position
1t just comes to this. Even an earl is
not always his own master. Legal diff
ferences are in the way of allowing
the contract to be carried out. The earls
solicitors today communicated with Mr..
Frohman, telling him SO.

BRYAN ON THE RALEIGH.
Inspected the Ship and Talked With
Captain and Crew.

New York, April 20.-William Jen-
nings Bryan visited the cruiser Raleigh
yesterday, accompanied by a number Of
friends.
Men in the small boats on the river
cheered, sailors in the launch took on
their caps Women clapped their dainty
gloved hands. Colonel Bryan bowed.
You are right on nine points, but
you are wrong on one," said sailor to
him, timidly.
THAT is big majority Colonel
Bryan said, smiling.
The sailor made his cap roll under his
fingers. He was embarrassed. He had
the air of fearing that his compliment
was misunderstood.
Mckinley is wrong on nine points if
he is right on one the sailor said, try
ing to Square" himself.
That's a big minority Colonel
Bryan replied, laughing.
An ensign led the way to Captain
Coghlan's room. There were the MEM
berS of the committee from Raleigh,
N. C., who are here to make arrange
ments for the cruisers visit to that city.
The captain shook hands affably with
Colonel Bryan. They talked for awhile
the captain relating the events, the
colonel complimenting the men who di-
rected them.
The committee from Raleigh had
gnission-the captain had to attend to
them He presented Lieutenant Phelps
to do the duty of the cruiser to the dis
tinguished visitor.
Colonel Bryan saw the gun that fired
the first shot, the gun that was taken
from the wreck of the Christina and
may be presented to the city of Raleigh,

NO" said the lieutenant commander
in reply to a question of the colonel, lit

DOG DIES OF CONSUMPTION
Pet Canine Contracted the Disease by
Sleeping With Its Owner.

Lambertville, n. J., April 20.-The
death of a dog from consumption has
just occurred in this city. John S. Cur

1t IS thought beyond a doubt that the
dog inhaled the disease germs from
the younger Curtis.
