of the Spanish Peace Commission, now
here on a visit was asked:
Would Spain accept the peace treaty
if it should be amended by the United
States Senate so as to put the Philip
pines in the same position as Cuba Z"
No., answered Senior Abarazuzay in
my opinion, Spain would not--nor would
any civilized nation-accept the treaty
if modified so as to create an, independ-
ent Filipino Government.
You might as well give autonomy to
the monkeys in the Jardin Acclimation
here as to give it to the Filipinos.
No country could possibly agree to
risk it's commercial interests by dealing
with the so-called Filipino Government.
Would America herself like her COM
mercial interests to have only the single
guarantee of such a Government? Ii
would be no guarantee at all.
IF the treaty should be amended as
you suggest, it would cease to be q
treaty signed by Spain, and a serious
position would arise, since, if the treaty
should become null, matters would go
back to the position in which they We're

ADJUSTMENTS.

The -Kidder- Warde Company
staged sThe School for Scandal beau
tifully, richly and with historic ae-
curacy last night at the Clunie Opera
house. Such elegant scenery-interiors
and such a fine wardrobe have not
been seen here in decade. The COM
pany played to a fine house, an ap-
preciative and critical audience, which
manifested its satisfaction with the
assertiye scenes crowded with bouts
of sarcasm and overlooking with floods
of cutting humor, by quick and hearty
applause and what is better discrim-
mating plaudits. At the conclusion of
the fourth act this eliminated in a
triple recall of the three stars, includ-
ing Mr.. Langdon, the Sir Peter Teazel
of the satirical comedy. Miss Kidder
was Lady Teazel, Mr. Warde was
Joseph and Mr. James Charles Surface.
Mr. James we had feared would prove
a trifie heavy for the ideal character,
but we were agreeably disappointed.
His was not a traditional Charles,
but distinct and individualized per-
sonation, sufficiently light, festive and
Joyous. Though he took some minor
liberties with the text, his Charles was
as q whole such as the trained and we'll
proportional artist alone can give. His
perfect manliness, his mastery humor,
his fine perception of the intent of the
author in the scheme of his plot, made
him an admirable Charles, and won
for him the genuine admiration of the
audience. Mr.. Warde's Joseph was
played with more of intensity than adj
mirers of the fine old comedy have
been accustomed to. 1t thereby SUI
bordinated something of the deep cum
ming and sublety of the part. Never
theless it was a strong, vigorous, eff
fective and carefully studied persona
ton. He expressed the emotions and
motives of the phase of human nature
with which he had to deal, as involved
in combinations of dramatic form,
with perfectly clear purpose and ade-
quate power 1t was a thoroughly ar
tistic PRESERVATION, such manifestation
of fine art, as serves to exalt the stage
and refine the profession that should
always grace it. Miss Kidder's Lady
Teazel was wholly new. 1t was less
mature, more girlish and willowy than
any of the many that have been seen
here. We believe she has, by a COM
prehension quick, clear and subtle,
formed a correct conception of Sheri-
dams ideal. She dealt with elemental
emotions as they would be expert
enced by a country girl unused to the
fashionable world into which she had
been suddenly introduced; maiden
who lost her equipoise. in new exist
ence, and welded a fresh given power
with an abandon akin to recklessness.
Tall, comely and graceful, melodious
fof voice and easy of manner, she did
not have to study to look the part,
nor to call upon the secrets of art to
supply physical denial. Her Lady
Teazel was not perfect in all its pro-

taker Manns and Howard Harlan,
farmers, fought a duel with knives in
a blacksmith shop at Ballarsville, KY,
to-day, to settle a quarrel which grew
out of the sale of some tobacco. The
men fought until exhausted, then rested
awhile and resumed the combat, which
resulted in Manns being so badly
wounded that he died. Harlan is
thought to be fatally hurt. They lived
on adjoining farms, and We're both men

portions, but wanting the perfection of
complete harmony of detail, there was
the CONDENSATION of keen sense of
humor, a charming frankness and ex-
ceeding honesty, that come of the
coinage Of art. There was spontaniety
of warmth in her manner, the bright
intelligence of comprehension in facial
play and the juggling with wit,
repartee and sentiment that made her
personation captivating and proved
how good an artist she is in assuming
a guise and expressing an emotion to
interpret the authors thought In
fact, her Lady Teazel was a splendid
lovable creature; tantalizing, capti-
waiting creature; but as honest and
true "a woman when her womanly
sense of right was awakened as ever
lived in imagination. Her persona
ton accomplished a two-fold result; it
satisfied in large degree the craving for
artistic work, and taught of the power
that resides in the fire of wit and soul
of humor, which are more to be feared
and more to be admired than the
power of violence. The support was
good throughout; no weak timber in
it's frame work With twenty three

two such fine examples of the old
