THEATRICAL.

Next Monday evening will usher in
rhe third season Of the Columbia Stock
Company. with a company Of phenome-
nal strength, including as 1t does such
well known people as Mary Hampton,
Minnie Ashley, Agnes Rose Lane, Annie
Buckley, Franchon Campbell, J H..

The opening bill will be that power.
ful drama OF Bronson Howard, which
first saw the light in this city, "Aris.
tocracy." It is the story of Jefferson
stockton, a multimilhonaire OF Califor-
mia. man Of no antecedents but with a
grown up daughter. He has MARI ed a
young and beautiful wife, whose
ambition it is to become a leader Of
society in New York Finding that
mere wealth will in 40 way buy their
wav into the select circles of the East,
and being a practical man, he conceives
the idea of leasing the town house,
servants, &c. ,ofan impoverished English
Marquis Tor one year assuming the
debts and responsibilities and giving an
additional bonus of 10000. in return
for the nobleman's services in introduc-
ing himself and family into the best
society OF London and the continent.
Six months later sees the family on the
day Of the presentation Of Diana, Mrs.
Stockton, and Virginia, Stockton's
daughter to the Queen. Virginia has
that day learned of the marriage of her
former fance, and in a moment OF des-
PeratIon marries an Austrian Prince at
the Embassy, This Prince Emil has
previously become madly infatuated
with Diana, Mrs. Stockton, and sees in
the marriage only an opportunity of
being near her and ingratiating himself
IN her favor, waiting for the desirable
moment to play his hand. No great
stretch Of the imag gination is necessary
TO foretell the issue. Bronson Howard
skillfIlly tells the misery OF the
neglected young vile, the incr as
ing passion OF the inscriptions
Prince, with what patience aHd cunning
he persecutes the chaste and beautiful
Mrs Stockton; how, taking advantage OF
the absence OF her husband. .heendeavors
TO place her in a compromising position,
and in the middle of an impassioned
declaration Of his love, is interrupted by
the return OF the husband, This is the
Big scene ofthe play, as the two men face
each other, representing one, all that IS
carnal, sordid, and debased; the other,
al that IS honest, vlrtuous, and manly.
Everything turns out happily when
Jefferson otockton closes up his London
house and return TO America.

spain TO Ransom Her Philippine
Prisoners

Spain will begin at once nego-
tiations with Aguinaldo tor the
release Of the Spanish prisoners.
The State Department and the
War Department will assist Spain
in every possible way in this un-
dertaking.
1t is already understood that
Aguinaldo will conduct the nego-
tations on no other plan than that
of a big ransom. This presents a
complication in which the United
States has a direct and serious
interest.
1t is admitted by Spain that the
payment OF a large UNI OF money
10 Aguinaldo would be giving sub
srantIal aid and comfort to the
rebel enemy Of the United States,
This mater has been discussed,
and it has been arranged that,
while the ransom will be paid IN
good faith to the F,lipinos, 1t wIli
be so held in trust that Aguinaldo
or the rebels, while IN arms, can
not realize on it, even BY specula-
tive credits.
Spain had first determined 70 ap-
point three commissioners. To-
day il was decided to appoint but
one, and it is probable that this
one commissioner will be selected
at Manila in order 20 save time.
Gen. Ois has been apprised Of
the present status OF the arrange
ment. and he will under, axe to get
the Spanish COMMISSIONED within
the rebe lines and to guarantee
his safety.
The United States Government
admits the justice and right Of
Spain to have the prisoners re-
leased, and also that this Govern
ment's efforts in that direction have
failed through the War Depart
ment, the only branch Of the Gov
ernment. which could deal with
the rebels.
TIE State Department cannot
act directly with AguInaldo with
out compromising itself by rec
ognition Of the Filipinos as bel
ligerent power

significant instructions in bold
type.
please report on this blank the
name Of such customers or deal
ers that are not purchasing all Of
their crackers and biscuits from
the National Biscuit Company and
mail to. this Office each night"
OF course, when a culprit is
caught redhanded with the biscuits
or crackers OF some other CON-
pany on his shelves he is boycotted
by the National Biscuit Company
and everything possible done to
injure his trade. This system Of
espionage and punishment drives
out the independent bakers, the
dealers being afraid to handle their
goods.
There is enough evidence in the
blank form quoted above, if it is
issued by che Biscuit Trust, TO put
the heads Of that concern in Jail.
Such contemplate meanness is a
criminal restraint OF trade and
should be punished accordingly.

HIS statement that high tariff is

avowed that the purpose Of the

this is to keep prices at a mini.

are not unworthy Of our sympathy
We have the high authority OF Ad-
miral Dewey himself for asserting,
whose words have been often
quoted and printed, viz: These
people, the Filipinos, are far supe-
rior in their intelligence and more
capable Of self government than
the natives OF Cuba, and | am
familiar with both races" And
Commander Ford, in his recent
interview, given through the Bal
timore Sun, thus enlarges upon
what his superior officer has said:
1.-THE Filipinos pictured in the senss-
tionai papers are not the men we are
fighting, they are entirely distinct and
senarate. The fellows we deal with out
there are not ignO rant savages fighting
with bows and arrows, but an intelligent
liberty loving people, full Of courage
and determination, The idea that the
Filipino is an uncivilized being is a mis-.
taken one, They have the
intellect and the stamina to govern
themselves, and have done It tor three
hundred years, although under the rule
of Spain. They were the clerks, the
bookkeepers, the assessors, and
managed the entire machinery OF gov
ernment. AS for their condi-
tion now, as far as I can see, they are
stronger, more determined and more
skinful In the art Of war than when the
fighting out there started, and as the
DAYS 60 by, they increase IN streng th
and knowledge, having nine or eleven
millions of people to draw from They
are armed with Mausers, the best rifle
in the world, and are tar better marks
men than the Spaniards. At hrst
they shot high and missed, but now they
have caught, and aim IoR with deadly
effect. They have a good governmen
now, which they are operating uccess'
fully, and preserve law and order.

Our Two Wars.

The war with Spain lasted only
ia days. The war with the
Philippines has now lasted rse
days.
Our army sent to Cuba under
Gen. Shafter consisted of about
17,ooo officers and men, little more
thai halt OF whom reached the
fighting line. Gen. Miles took to
Porto Rico 3,4I5.
Since Dewey accomplished his
mission in destroying the Spanish
feet twenty-three army expedi-
tions have crossed the Pacific and
four have gone by way OF the Suez
Canal to conquer the islands for
which we paid Spain $40 ooo, 900.
These expeditions have carried
1919 officers and 37,287 men, but
nearly 500 add tional officers have
gone out to Manila and nearly
2, 900 men who did not accompany
the regular expeditions. OF the
total force. up to today scarcely
900 hs We returned.
Gen. Otis has therefore had
nearly twice as many soldiers as
we're required to conquer Spain in
Cuba and Porto RICO. HIS army
is twice as large as the force with
which Gen, Scott whipped Mex
ico.
Our losses in Mr.. McKinley's
war IN the PM lDpiues are not bull
Termed Tor the pubuc by the War
Department, but they lar exceed
our loss IN the war declared BY
Congress against Spain. There
has been hghting nearly every day
since hostlhtIes begun at Manila,
and our War Department is now
striving desperately 20 send 5000
more reiuforcements to Gen. Otis.

Commander Ford, who has just re-

WE agree with the Alexandra

York SIM, though ten thousand
miles away from Luzon, is cock
sure that all the many private let

practiced to such an ex ent there
by some American soldiers that It
has almost characterized their in
vasion oi The island, and says those
who credit them are lacking in

brightness has been obscured, its
sincerity become doubtful, its in

huence entirely gone; but its

Hanna Names the Tickets.

Before boarding the boat for his
European trip Senator Hanna de-
clared that Mckinley and Hobart
would be nominated and elected
in 1900.
The Senator added that he did
not believe Bryan would be the
choice Of the De tmocratic party.
Two months ago he looked upon
Mr.. Bryan's nomination as a GER
tainty. Now he is not 50 certain
aboutir. He thinks German would
like to be the Democratic candi-
date. His recent interview would
seem to indicate this.

AS the result OF a decision
handed down last Tuesday in the
District against Fritz Reuter-,
the guests at hotels will have the
privilege OF having Intoxicating
liquors served to them with their
meals on Sundays, at such places
as have a licensed barroom at
tached.
The suit was instituted to test
the validity and spirit Of the act OF
Congress Of March 8 last, which
prohibited makers, brewers and
distillers oil beer or other intoxi-
cants, or other persons or corpora
tions or their agents, outside of the
city Of Washington from selling
or delivering beer or other intoxi-
cants within the District on the
day commonly known as Sunday.
The defendant, Fritz Reuter-, was
arrested some time ago on the
affidavits of two policemen, who
stated that on a certain Sunday
they entered his hotel and ordered
and received two bottles OF beer
with the lunch they asked. The
matter was heard in the Police
Court, and the presiding Judge
held that according to the mean
ing OF the law, the proprietor OF a
hotel or restaurant with barroom
attached has the right to serve
liquors to guests.
The District appealed from the
decision Of the Police Court, and
took an appeal to the Court oI
Appeals tor the Distri:t.
Mr.. Justice Morris, who deliv,
cred the opinion OF the court, in
discussing the merits of the case
stated:
1--WE are entirely satisfied that
in the act OF March 3, 1899, the
Congress had no purpose to repeal
in any manner any Of the provi-
sions OF the act of March 3, 1898
except in so far as that act ex
empted makers, brewers, and dis
ullers OF Intoxicating liquors from
its own operation; and that the
sole purpose Of the act OF 1899 was
to prohibit sale or delivery Of in
toxicating liquors on Sunday by
makers. brewers, and distillers
and all other persons who might
be similarly situated with them
with regard to such liquor. Anc
we think it was not intended by
the act Of 1899 in any manner tc
affect the rights or privileges en-
joyed by hotelkeepers under the
provisions of the act of 1898,
1--WE are Of the opinion thai
there was no error in the ruling o
the justice holding the police cour
in this case; and that he was en-
tirelY right ia his instruction to thC
Jury, that the act of Congress o
March 3, 1899, under which the
information against Reuter- was
filed, does not apply to duly
licensed hotels having a bar room
license, and that the act oil March
3, 1899, does not repeal the act o.
March 3, 1898, allowing hotels tc
sellllquors to their bona ide guests
at their meals or IN their rooms.
The decision of the court that
the meaning OF the law was not tc
prohibit the sale OF liquor on Sun.
days in hotels is hailed with &c.
light by the proprietors OF these
places in the city. The general
opinion, too, seems to be that now
since two OF the courts OF the Dis
trict nave passed upon the matter,
that the case will not be taken to
the higher court.
