THE PRESIDENT AT BOSTON.

President Mckinley added to his
reputation as statesman nv his
speech at Boston last night. AS it was
his first public utterance since the
adoption of the peace treaty by the
Senate, people throughout the land
were curious to know what he would
say of the Philippine question. The
president handled the matter with
consummate tact. He was careful not
TO emparrass congress in any way by
outlines or by prophecies, but confined
himself to calm and judicial state
ment of the case. The trust was not
OF the country's seeking, he said, but
the Philippines having been placed in
our keeping by the fortunes of war, il
was trust to be met squarely and not
| shirked or turned over to some other
nation President Mckinley frankly
admitted that he did not know yet
what would be the best form of gov
| eminent for the islands, but he had
confidence in the American people, and
| he believed that they would do what
| 'N'N' ''N71 lSt 1liC tllllOI luldlt llltlaD-
ttants of the Philippines, who had been
so unexpectedly placed in their keep
| ing, and what was best for this coun-
| try. He laid stress upon the fact that
the islands were not of our seeking,
and that the evolution of events which
no man could control had confronted
the country withnew and strange prob
| lens, the proper solution of which time
alone could work out. Spain having
been eliminated from the equation by
| the treaty of peace, the inhabitants of
the Philippines are now entrusted to
the guiding hands and iberalizing in
! 1uences of their American emancipa-
tors, not of their American masters.
The president handled the matter in
a mastery manner, and though his eX-
pressions were forcible, they We're con-
veyed in such diplomatic language as
neither to sting nor give offense to
those who have with considerable as
perity opposed the administration in
| it's policy. President McKinleys speech
/ last night will be given a place in the
political classics. 1t was magnificent.

THE WORCESTER THEATRE

Graham's Southern Speciality Com
pany, an organization composed entire
ly of negro performers, held the stage
at the Worcester Theatre last evening
and gave an entertainment that was
unique and at times pleasing.
The first part of the evening was
given to a sketch called Sarah Jack
sons reception" in which the entire
company appeared in songs, dances and
choruses. Then followed an olio con-
sisting of ballads by Carrie Lucas, and
higher class of vocalizing by Mile.
Perkins; a comedy sketch by Mr. and
Mrs. Tom Mcintosh; William Mozam-
bique English, in. cOmicalities; aero
battle feats by two youths not named on
the program; a mild essay of cortortion
by SVien Navarro, and a hilarious cake
walk participated in by everybody
OF these performers English was east
ly the best and his representations of
different "Cullud gemmen," droll Jug
Cling and dancing were diverting in the
extreme.
The theatre will be given over the
rest of the week to the Leon w.

innovation of giving matinee today
as well as on Saturday. The company

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Miss Rosanna eeasIey Slabs Herself
With a Pair of Scissors,

Miss Rosanna Beasley, who lived at
IL James street, made an Unsuccessful
attempt at suicide yesterday morning.
For several days past she has been the
victim of a hallucination that the
police wanted to arrest her. She men
toned the fact to her friends and re-
marked at the same time that she
would rather be dead than suffer the
disgrace of being arrested During
fit of temporary insanity she
stabbed herself five times with q pair
of scissors yesterday morning, infiict-
ing the wounds on her left breast just
over the heart. The wounds are su-
perficial, however, and she is in no
danger She was found soon after the
attempt and taken to the City Hos
pital. No examination has been made
at that institution to ascertain the
depth of the wounds, as they are not
serious and do not require a great
deal of attention. The thrusts do not
penetrate the walls of the chest an
are little more than scratches.
Last evening she was resting COM

THE PARK ENTERTAINERS.

The program at the Park Theatre
this week continues to amuse large au-
diences and will go on record as one of
the best of the season. Yesterday a
new comedy was offered by Fllson and
Enrol in place of "A Tip ON the Derby"
called "A Daughter of Bacchus." 1t is
a pleasing little trifle, although neither
so clever nor so well played as the
earlier farce, and will do very well for
an alternate. 1t tells of a wife who, to
break her bibulous husband of his
habits, Stimulates high state of hilari-
Gus intoXication herself and holds the

Senator Quay's friends have been
defeated, so far as at least the Nc
Carroll bill is concerned. The action
of the legislature puts il over till March
q, and Quay's trial for conspiracy tC
speculate with state funds is set down
for February 81. The bearing Of the
McCalTell bill upon the trial is obvious
enough. 1t deprives the district at
torney or other prosecuting officer OF
the right to object 20 Jurors, and vir-
tually makes it possible for counsel foi
the defense to pack jury as he may
see fit Already, under PENNSYLVANIA
laws, the accused is allowed "A wider
latitude and the prosecution is more
closely hedged- about with restrictions
than is the case in other states. and
the McCarrell bill is finishing touch
OF obstruction to the conviction OF
criminals. 1t has had the support of
the Quay faction, ana is not unnatural
ly supposed to have been introduced
expressly for the convenience of the
senator in his unpleasant predica-
ment.

1t is well to be cheerful in adversity
but the recent period of heavy snow
and extreme cold is no joke either in
the south or west. Reports of present
suffering by no means measure the
damage wrought in either section of
the country, In the west, the long,
continued blizzard means the loss of
live stock and the probable destruc-
ton of some portion of the winter
wheat crop. In the south, the excep-
tionally low temperature seems certain
to bring disaster TO fruits of all kinds

patches had hardly recovered from the
devastation caused by the unseason-

BY the joint efforts Of Speaker Reed
and Representative Cannon, the Mic
aragua canal bill is believed to have
been shelved for the present session of

general uncertainty, both as regards
the cost of the enterprise and our re-
lations to the countries interested.
There is not uncommon feeling that
a S5OoO,OOo appropriation for the pur-
chase Of the old company's property,
might prove to be simply buying a dead
horse, but that is no condemnation of
