ed 10 Inspector Boardman that his room
at the hotel had been entered by an un-
known person and robbed of pair of dress

for $500 each, railroad passes. and vnl-
liable papers The theft was committed
about 1890 O'Clock. but was not discover
ed until about two hours later,
Mr.. Murphy attended banquet Tues
day night and did not retire until an early
hour yesterday morning. He hung his
evening clothes on rack in his room.
When he arose yesterday at noon he found
that plumbers were installing d new bath
tub In his apartment and went into an
adjoining room. While he was there Mrs.
Murphy removed the trousers to a rack
nearer the room to which Mr. Murphy
had adjourned.
When Mr.. Murphy dressed in his bust
ness suit he did not notice the absence Of
his evening trousers. Later he had oc-
casion 10 20 to his room in search of pa
pcrs contained in the trousers pockets and
could not find the garment. Mrs Murphy
said that she had removed the trousers
10 another place but they could not be
found
Inspector Boardman detailed Detective
Horne on the case, and the latter began
an invest gaton. Last night about
o'clock Sergeant Acton and Detective

TEMPORARY POSSESSION.
senator Bacon Addresses The senate
on the Philippine Question.

Senator Bacon spoke yesterday in the
Senate for nearly two hours on resolutions
he had previously submitted providing
for a temporary possession only of the
Philippine Islands by the United States
MI Bacon covered the points heretofore
touched on by the opponents of anneXa-
tion. His speech. which was delivered in
very earnest manner, was in the nature
of a plea for the Monroe Doctrine and for
The continuation of the principles of self
government. The latter principle, he de-
clared, would he lost TO the world should
the United Safes embark on 4 colonial
policy.
Mr. Bacon was of the opinion that the
only reason England wanted US in the
Philippines was TO aid her in the event of
an Asiatic war. While he was proud OF
his own English ancestry. and was willing
to help the mother country in peace,
he was not willing to pledge this nation
for her assistance in any war which she
might wish to bring on for her own
agrandizement.
He also made the point that to subdue
the natives of the Philippines would ne
cessitate the Inauguration OF such cruel
ties by our armies there as were practiced
by Bngland in India. He read extracts
from the writing OF the late John Russell
Young In mis- description of Grants tour
dTouAu Jne world NnGfe he describes the
destruction of native Indian regiment by
English soldiers Mr.. Bacon said that
he thought this spirit OF avaTiciousness
and cruelty. inspired by war. had already
taken hold of some OF our statesmen as a
result of the war with Spain. He had
noti7 d that Senators who were unequivi-
cally for peace before the war, were now
demanding that the Filipnos be subju-
gated.
He deplored the acquisition OF distant
possessions on the ground that it would
involve us in every war which might be
waged. and would make us subject 10 al
tack from all nations; it would divide our
army and navy, and weaken us in every
respect

THINGS THEATRICAL.

Julia Marlowe carries every scrap of
scenery used in her pretentious production
of The Countess Valeska" In cities where
'Naleska' is staged orders to the local
management include the expressive line.
We want a clear stage; everything is
furnished The time of the play could
not have been more auspiciously chosen to
secure picturesque effect and stirring sit
uations. The drama opens in June, 1907,
a few hours before the battle of Friedland,
when Napoleon defeated the Russians. The
presence of the French army at the place
of combat permits the display of wealth
of detail in costuming and decorative ef-
feet while the war-like era, with the
somewhat mixed condition of affairs, gives
an opportunity for dramatic episodes of alb
sorbing interest. The story is full of pos
sibilities, particularly for Miss MarlOwe.
who is said to invest the title role with a
degree of emotional ability as well as with
personal grace.
"Valeska" will be presented by Miss
Marlowe next week at the Lafayette
Square Opera House, the engagement be-
ginning on Monday evening and contin-
uing on Tuesday and Wednesday nights
and at the Saturday matinee. On Thurs
day and Friday Miss Marlowe will appear
as Rosalind in "As You Like 1t and on
Saturday night as Parthenia in ''Ingomar"
Paul j. Gilmore, young romantic actor
of note. will be seen next week at the
Columbia Theatre at the head of his own
company in repertoire which includes
The Dawn OF Freedom" and The Three
Musketeers." Mr.. Gilmore was for many
years leading man with the big organiza-
tions controlled by Charles Frohman or
Augustus Pitou. but finally determined to
strike out for himself. His offering OF
The Dawn of Freedom at the Fourteenth
Street Theatre, in New York. is said to
have been distinctly successful and luck
remained good until the costly production
was burned in a Chicago theatre. Such
blow would have settled most ambitious
actors but this star plucked success from
defeat and. building a second set OF sur
roundings from the profit OF the first, once
more started out on the road. So far he
has been amply rewarded for his energy.
Mr.. Gimores offering of The Three Mus
