THEATRICAL,

Mile. Pillar. MORN. a new star Of great
promise, is to shine forth at the National
Theatre next week, She appears in
Henri Mellhac's most successful French
comedy, which was originally presented
by Mile. Rejanein Paris, at the Varieties,
as "Ma Cousine," and which will be
produced here under the title Of my
Cousin." The comedy is said to be a
masterpiece of Partisan spirit; an ador-
able little play, so prettilY derived, so
perfect in form, so we'll deducted, so
funnily carried out SO crowded with
typical observations and exact details,
that one could offer it as a model to all
writers OF comedy. 1t is filled with
happy repartee, beautiful Partisan
humor, and worldly finesse, with a col
oring most unexpected and modern. To
present such an exceptionally dainty
piece OF dramatic construction,
superior cast is necessary, and Manager
Henry J. Nichols has succeeded in
engaging for this, the initial production
Of the comedy in English, and as a fit
ting support to his delightful and
fascinating star, such artists as John T.
Sullivan, Louise Thorndyke, ,BOucicault,
Earl Hope, Frank Tannehill, ,jr., Matilda
Cortrelly, Earl Brown and others.
The Paris lie FLgaro"-in speaking
of the MA Cousine" in that city by
Mile. Rejane, said; "We do not witness
every day piece like Ma cousine'
which was PLAYED yesterday at the
Theatre des Varieties with so emphatic
a success, one of the greatest that
Meilhac has ever attained. The starting
point more fantastic than real, is but an
excuse to bring in a succession of
pictures of Partisan life, drawn from
nature with an incompatible power Of
observation, ingenuity and art. Hence,
the first idea is but preface. an intro.
duction to pass in review before the
public collection Of worldly scenes in
which the ironY ofthe writer, determined
to ridicule the present period, preserves,
all through his explosions of gaiety, the
ahiable and playful philosophy of the
French spirit"

Our Pious President.

On every Sabbath, IN a reverent
manner, Mr.. Mckinley attends his
Puritanical Church. Whilst ab-
sorbed in these religious feelings
and pious exercises, he no doubt,
as a good Christian, bears in mind
and faithfully keeps a correct &C
count OF the thousands oi Philip
pine men, women and children, not
forgetting the Samoan victims OF
Kautz's amusement, he has caused
to be killed. How many Of his
own soldiers, kept like Hessians
beyond the term OF their enlist
ment, were sacrificed, is not cor
rectlY known, nor is the number of
thousands who fell victims to the
malignant climate. Nevertheless
Mr.. McKinley's preachers praise
him, and declare him a leading
apostle OF that gospel which for
merly condemned murder and ad-
vocated love Of mankind and hu-
manity. The Anglo-Saxon I'm
perial Gospel is quite a different
one from that which was taught
by Christ. May the Lord have
mercy on these hYpocrites!

Ambassador Choate.

at a banquet in London which was
extensively advertised, said in part:
"When we look across the page
Of history we see IN Nelson the
great typical sailor Of all ages and
all races. But in the past year
two new heroes have come to stand
BY his side in our own Dewey and
Sampson" " Luckily, Mr.. Choate's
reputation as a joker preceded
him to England, and there will be
small trouble for our English
cousins to perceive the sarcasm in
the above remark. Dewey and
SAMPSON" is rich!

A Chance for an Opera,

We have at last crowned a
King! This is remarkable, and
must never be forgotten in our
history. Some enterprising opera
writer will find in it one OF these
days rich material for an opera.
Here was Admiral Kautz. He
concluded to Unmake one King
and establish another. !Ie ousted
Mataafa, and with great solemnity,
royal pomp and pageantry he
selected another and went through
the ceremony Of crownlng him.
The ban OF an American ship was
dressed up in gala style and per-
formed sweet American airs like
Pop Goes the Weasel" %The
young King looked solemn, and
some ten'Ier young pigs were
slaughtered in his honor. Il was,
indeed, a great American affair,
Tor there never had been such a
celebration before. Admiral
Kautz, the king-makCr, acquitted
himself with great proficiency, al
though it was his first experience
in king wning. He will be the
hero in the next opera bouffe. He
was a member OF the Anglo Saxon
Alliance, which for more than 20
days, in a truly royal style, fred
on the people Of that happy island,
burnt their villages and perpe-
trated other royal amusements.
Unfortunately Admiral Kautz
has not succeeded in firmly estab-
fishing his king, for Mataafa is not
wholly ousted. and Kautz himself
has iorsaken his creature. He has
withdrawn all his sailors and poor
Malietoa has again been compelled
TO save himself by taking refuge
on board OF an English vessel, as
the Samoans do not want him.
The Commission now in power at
Samoa is probably making short
work Of Malietoa. At any rate,
Kautz's king is hardly to be
Samoa's king and all the American
music, coronation ceremonies and
slaughter will have been for
nothing.
As Mr.. Mckinley has so much
imperialistic sympathy in his
bosom, Kautz may possibly send
his imperialistIc brother King to
Washington. AS the only King
ever crowned under "Old Glory"

mi1nholdinrthe volunteera


We copy the following from
the Washington correspondent OF
the Alexandra GaSette:
"The failure Of General Otis to
announce the departure Of the
volunteers Tor home in his dis
patches ofthe 9th and 10th, report
ing the departure OF six transports
for San Francisco, is not under
stood at the War Department, in
view Of the assurances that the
return Of volunteers was simply a
question Of transportation. If
Gen. Otis is sending back empty
transports his action is utterly ir-
reconcilable with Secretary
Alger's telegram to Gov. Thomas
of Colorado, declaring: We shall
spare no efforts 20 effect the speedy
return of all the volunteers in the
Philippine Islands, but it should
be borne in mind that the distance
and question OF suitable transpor-
tation make it appear slow to wait
ing families and friends Otis was
urged in the most emphatic terms
to hasten the discharge OF the vol
uuteers and start them home as
speedily as possible. He replied
that the first could start about the
FIRST week in May. Heretofore
Gen. Otis has carefully reported
the number Of invalids or dis
charged men on each vessel de-
parting if they numbered only a
dozen or two, and his conspicuous
omission to give any details about
the latest vessels sailing causes
some comment at the War Depart
ment, Secretary Alger has tele-
graphed to Gen. Otis for a detailed d
report upon his plans for starting
the volunteers home and asked him
specifically why some could not
be started at once, and Adjt. Gen.
Corhin telegraphed him asking il
there were any volunteers on the
transports which left the Philip
pines; also whether any would re-
turn on the ships which are sched-
uled to leave in the near future.
We will add that in our opinion
the withdrawal Of the volunteer
forces is all a sham. By right, as
soon as peace with Spain had been
proclaimed, and it took long time
to do it, though the actual fighting
was over last fall, the volunteers
should have been withdrawn from
active service and all haste used
to forward them to their homes
But up to this very moment the
volunteers have been forced to dc
almost all the fighting. until, a.
was inadvertently stated in one o
the kilograms that escaped tht
censor's eyes, less than fifty in ;
company are now left.
This breach of contract will cos
the country dearly. The Suprem,
Court will take notice Of it and is
heavy damages for retaining th'
soldiers in service beyond thel
time. Violation OF any contrac
will be punished, no matter OF wha
character.

a aleading German daily Of Chicago,
would have President Mckinley,
in his spare hours at Hot Springs,
Va, recall to his memory the Car
ter trial. There at his leisure he
should take under consideration
and determine whether or not this
disgraceful affair shall continue to

Well, that escutcheon is so full Of

The Great Wrong Done by Admiral
Kautz.

The Great Wrong Done by Admiral
KRutz.
Gradually the truth is cropping
out and the great outrage COM
mitted by Admiral Kautz and the
British authorities is coming to
the surface. All the news via
Auckland comes from English
sources and is full Of lies. Occa-
sionally we hear from other quar-
ters. Thus a despatch was re-
ceived via Honolulu, May s, which
we copy part:
David McGregor, a Scotchman who
has been in Samoa for the past SIX
months, and who formerly resided th ere,
was a passenger by the Moana. Speaking
OF the affairs in Samoa, he said;
"The business communityIs anXlously
awaiting the arrival OF the Commission
ers of the powers. The SITUATION IS as
bad as It can be and it can only grow
worse until some one else besides the
present representatives of the powers,
who have all committed themselves 10
fixed opinions, comes to straighten out
the tangle. Mataafa is the real King OF
Samoa. He has the allegiance OF by lar
the majority of the Samoans and IS IN
actual control except at Muinuu and in
part Of the municipal district of Apia,
Ia all the fighting, while he has suffered
the larger losses, he has lost little
ground.
This despatch shows that after
all the destruction, loss OF lite and
turmoil, Mataafa still holds his
own, and that the English have not
gained more than two villages, al
hough our sweet allies with their
guns have killed a large number
of poor, innocent people, and des-
troyed much valuable property.
Kautz after all will have to wal:
until the international Commis
sion has arrived and decided who
is going to be King. Had he in
the beginning waited until their
arrival no bloodshed would have
followed. He certainly cannot
have acted under orders, for that
would have been too mean a piece
Of business on the part OF the Ad-
ministration.
But the Honolulu despatch has
another piece Of unpleasant news
about our Anglo Saxon Alliance
We copy the other half:
The whole truth has not been told
about the fight in which Freeman fell
The party was in command oiLieutenant
4 Freeman. The men were out recon
noitering and extended on skirmish
| line. They saw some natives ahead Ol
| them and fired on them. The first thing
| they knew they we're being surrounded
/ The Colt gun got jammed and out O
working order. Freeman was killed
and the command devolved on Lieut.
Cave, OF the POrpoise. The American
in the party will not say anything abou
it, but the British marines say that Cave
hooked tran tor the beach. Tht
men themselves tried to get him to le
/ them make a stand to bring of tn,
wounded, but he ordered them to &c
with him, and led them at run. Ever
after they got 10 the beach and out o
danger, men volunteered TO 60 back FOL
the wounded, but he would not let them
saying they would be coming alons
pretty soon."
