The Columbia has heavy underline
next week in Eugene Blair and com,
pany, presenting Sardou's "Divorcons, "
with Miss Blair as Julia, "Divorcons"
is bright, risque bit Of nonsense, never
failing to be amusing to the laughter
loving. While the ssucIness of the
French has been toned down in English.
Sardou's mastery way Of treating risque
subjects so as never to offend is brought
out very vividly in "Divorcons."
The story told is amusing. Cyprienne.
or Julia, as the translator calls the
character, offers a convincing picture
Of whimsical, romantic, and imagina.
tive woman, a sort OF inRenue in
matrimonial bonds. The situations are
all excellent, and the characters afford
abundant opportunity for clever acting
in a light comedy vein The part Of
Julia affords Miss Blair every opportunity
for some splendid light comedy work,
and she is said to invest the character
with a great deal Of charm and,witchery,
and is revelation to those who have
only seen her in tragic and emotional
roles.
It also offers every opportunity for
dressing, and Miss Blair will show new
creations Of the dressmaker's art which
are said 70 be dreams. The supporting
company IS a strong and complete one
that has recently closed d most success.

Ocean Travel Made Easy.


A striking feature which attends
the competition between the steam
ship companies that ply between
England and America is the extra
ordinary development which has
taken place in the last decade in
the great German companies, the
Hamburg American and the North
German LLOYD. Within a few
years they have both moved up to
the very front rank, the Hamburg
American being the largest ocean
transportation company IN the
world. Although in this compe-
tition the features OF accommoda-
ton, comfort, and safety have al
ways received great attention, the
feature OF speed has been the one
that has appealed most to the pop
ular Imagination. To hold the
record across the Atlantic has
been one OF the chief aims which
actuated the policy of the past. 1t
was not until the present decade
that the German companies made
any effort to approach their Eng
lish, French, and American rivals
in the production of fast ships; but
in placing the KAISER Wilhelm
der Crosse" upon the roWte, the
North German Lloyd Company
easily moved up to first place, for
this magnificent vessel in one Of
her early voyages achieved an
average speed for the whole trip
across che Atlantic OF about ss:3s
knots an hour and an all day speed
of 2 knots an hour.
1t was only a question OF time
when the Hamburg American
Company would produce an an
swer to the "Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse; and such a ship is now
being built at the Vulcan yards,
Bredow, near Stettin, Germany.
The new vessel is to surpass the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse" in
size, speed, accommodation, and
indeed. as far as the intentions oi
the company 90, in every point oi
comparison. The new vessel,
which WILDE named the "Oeutsch-
land" will be larger than any ship
aAoat at the time OF her launch,
except the Oceanic, ofthe White
Star Line, which is expected to
make her maiden trip in the au-
tumn of 1899.
The passenger accommodation
will possess some novel features
particularly in respect OF size oi
the saloons and sta erooms; the
main saloon, for instance, being
capable Of seating 500 passengers
at one time. Novel features will
be large playToom tor children
on the upper deck, and a gymna.
SUM. On the promenade deck
there is to be provided a grill room
into which a passenger may step
and order broiled steak, chops,
etc, at a minutes notice. 1t is
features such as these that are
robbing the transatlantic passage

to it in the daVs of our forefathe

Washington Papers AttenttionI
We copy the following Associ
ated Press Despatch;

Berlin, July. The "Neueste Mach
richten" prints two letters which il says
were exchanged by Admiral Diedrichs
and Admiral Dewey just before the
former started on his return home from
China. Admiral Dlednchs, dating his
letter "Iu the China Sea, March IT,"
begged Admiral Dewey 10 accept bis
congratulations on his promotion. In
reply Admiral Dewey, in a letter dated
Manila, April IS, said: 1T is a great
pleasure to me 70 feel that my advance
ment is a source Of satisfaction to you,
ahd / rejoice that our differences have
been OF newspaper manufacture The
"Nachrichten" claims that the stories
OF friction between the naval COM
manders are disproved by these letters.
Just what we have ated all the
timer Nothing but English lies,
printed and republished by the
"Anglo-Saxon" Mckinley papers,
especially those at Washington.
And now Admiral Dewey writes
that all the talk about troubles and
dissensions between himself and
Diederichs are false, and that he
rejoices because "our differences
have been Of newspaper manufac-
ture."
If there is any feeling OF honor
left within the breasts Of the pub
fishers OF the Washington Post,
Washington Star and Washington
Tunes, they will apologize to the
German-American papers for all
the lies and insults which they
have heaped upon them, in TACT
upon every German born man.
The long and vicious editorials
which they have written against
the Germans, based on newspaper
manufacture" cannot be passed
by and forgotten. 1t will not ex-
cuse them because Coghlan in his
speech has reiterated the lies,
about Admiral Diederich, They
must publish a full and ample re-
traction and make an honorable
correction, If they would not de-

Increasing the Army.

For the support Of has war in
the Philippines Mr.. Mckinley has
ordered the enlistment OF ten new
regiments Of volunteer regulars
in the Country at large" and has
authorized Gen. Otis to re-enlIst
two regiments at Manila from the
volunteers there whose terms have
expired.
The ten regiments to be raised
here will consist OF s64 officers and
1886 men. Added to the force
that wIll remain with Gen. Otis
alter the departure OF returning
volunteers It is estimated that this
will increase our army in the Phil
ippines to about 10000 men.
Though this is double the size
oil our standing army before the
war with Spain, is twice as large
an army as was required to whip
Mexico, and is two and a quarter
times as many as sufficed to drive
Spain out Of Cuba and Porto Rico,
it IS less than malt as many soldiers
as capable judges say will be re-
quired to subjugate and hold the
Philippines.
Mr.. Mckinley and the apollo
gists for his unauthorized, unnec-
essary and un-American aggres-
sion may call this a "riot" or an

The shin RinR,s Profits


The recent developments in the
War and Navy Departments show
ing how the contractors ring
robbed the Government in its pur-
chase OF auxiliary war craft, are OF
concern to the Administration,
One phase OF the situation is said
to worry the President. Ii is that
showing how the White House
syndicate invaded the Navy and
compelled the purchase OF vessels
at fabulous figures, above cost or
actual value. This is the only
money scandal Of the war in which
the Navy is involved. 1t escaped
the horrors Of Algerism; lodged
the Beet Trust; produced no
Eagans, and was wholly tree from
all entanglements, save the Samp-
SON. Schley controversy, until it
came to light that the Hanna con-
tract ring had it in the tolls.
The Navy Department bought
many vessels. 1t gave the ring
no such riotous sway as it had
under Alger in the War Depart
ment, But that it had choice pick
ing even here is shown by the fact
that the Navy Department is now
trying to sell a half dozen vessels
bought when the 30. K" OF the
Administration ring was a condi-
tion precedent to purchase. For
that rakish craft, the Vulcan,
which is in better condition now
than when purchased, the ring
compelled a purchase price ot
S3so,ooo cash; the Department
now asks SIoo,oo profit to the
Hanna Syndicate, Saso,ooo. For
the Niagara the Navy paid the ring
saoo,o 900 fiat; It is advertised tor
sale for 500, 900; net loss to the
Government, SI4o,ooo. The East
Boston cost the Navy during the
war $4,000; it appeals to ship
buyers now to give the Nation
$50, 900; national loss in this case
s7z,soo The Enquirer, a craft
which cost the Government,
through the Administration ring,
$50, 900. wants a purchaser al
$4,000; net profit to the man
across the sea, 500, 900. For
the Scipio, S8s,769 was the pur-
chase price, marked down, no
doubt, the ring insisted, from So
600; the Government now asks
sa5, 900 for it; loss to the nation
and profit to the ring, 500, 769.
The General Russell, a Goldfish
craft, whose siren song was never
heard off the New England coast
throughout the war, was unloadec
by the syndicate on the Navy De-
| partment for 1900; upset price
now asked by the Government
| $4,000; net loss, 10000. Fol
these six vessels the syndicate re-
ceived SS44659. The navy now
offers them for sale in as good
condition as when bought for
Sa7o,oo even at these figures
the Government must sustain a
loss of more than half a million
dollars.
And yet occasionally is heard
the question; Has the Hanna
syndicate, which bought Execu-
tive control Of the White House
for four years for SII8,ooo. made

The Breaking OF a waterspout.

The Breaking Of waterspout.
On June IS a waterspout was
seen sweeping toward the town of
Hennessey, Oklahoma, and for the
third time this year has been saved
from destruction by artificial
means. One ofthe Rough Riders,
John Rhoades by name, bought
tour old cannon, in Cuba, and the
citizens OF the town purchased
them, and the city council employs
a man to attend to them. When
a waterspout or cyclone appears
on the horizon. he mounts his
horse and rides to one of the can
non, which are placed on the out
skirts of the town, one on each
side. The cannon was loaded with
salt, and was fired on June IS, at
iortY rods range, into the whirling
black mass that threatened the
town with destruction. The city is
protected by this means at trihing
expense, and so far it has always
worked satisfactorily.
