France and Now ~, > 81. J.


New Foundland ia the place Of

for France to r,,'st'w the policy of
pin pricks over which she has just
been defeated in upper Egypt.
France has a just claim TO a GER
tain right in that island which we
in England cannot deny, mainly
because it has never been defined.
AT the beginning of the eighteenth
century France and England were
in a chronic state of war. In 1918
the treaty Of Utrecht. which for
the time ended Institutes. secured
the, sovereignty of newfoundland
in England. Unfortunately, how
ever it left France an underlined
right which modified our sover-
eighty. 1t yielded to her tie priv
ilege of catching and drying fish
on the western and northern sides
of the island.
Thus, although no territorial
rights We're conceded to France,

the early settlers and the native
population were excluded from
what was and is potentially the
richest part of the colony. More
or less, they have been excluded
ever since, and the subject has
been a bone of constant conten-
ton when no larger quarrel occu-
pied the thoughts of the two gov
ernments concerned. There was,

Cham berlain's reference to New
foundland than meets the eye Of
the casual reader. If France ever
seeks a cause Of quarrel with
England in earnest. she will p7rr-
sue 1t on the sea. and she will dis
cover a cause OF quarrel at spot
where, standing firm on moral
and legal rights, England is at the
same time locally vulnerable just
such place is Newfoundland In
regard to that island we should

claim absolutely: but, in the alb

Yes, there is high treason in the
air. To compel soldiers to fight
against their will, like the Hessians,
forcing them, after their time has
expired, to continue in the ranks
and kill or be killed, contrary to
the law and its official require
ments, is not only treason, it is
downright murder. 1t is murder
to force soldiers, without their
consent and regardless of their
eouirements and obligations as
soldiers, to lose their lives or kill
other people at a mere despotic
command or whim,

The Washington Tunes, in an
editori al Thursday night, said
"that the few men who only the
other day were blatant in their
encouragement OF the Aguinaldo
mutiny, have suddenly quieted
down and left the burden Of their
offence to be borne by poor old
Edward Atkinson" When our
esteemed and immaculate patriot,
Stilson Hutchins, editor Of the

he will no doubt in his righteous
indignation Immediately demand
the suppression Of such a seditious
sheet. The Zi14eS further states
that Washington people are not
likely TO forget who it was that
nursed and coddled the agent OF
Aguinaldo, who was in this city
to defeat the passage Of the Span

individual in question was more
than suspected OF inducing Agon-

THEATRICAL,

The attraction at the National theatre
during week Of May Sth, is Mr.. Wilton
Lackaye in "Charles O'Malley." Mr.
Lackey is Washington boy aud very
prominent in the social circles of the
Capital. This is the introduction OF one
OF the best critics in the country to his
article about Mr.. Lackaye's new ventures:
There is no doubt in the world that few
plays ever showed more real merit after
FIRST presentation than does this new
candidate for commentator and coin.
Mr., Theodore Burt Sayer, who is the
author, has written almost entirely from
the suggestion OF Levers novel, and his
version is more noted for It's liberalness
than Tor it's literalness. He has tele-
scoped the rather sympathetic character
Of Major Hammersey with that of less
fortunate man and the result is a Captain
HammerselY who is eleven iourths and
a half scoundrel. In order TO save
division Of interest the part Of OMalley
has also been unified, while a number
Of people have sprung from the mind Of
the adapter. There is not too much of
Levers novel in any part OF the play, and
the last two acts-by far the best in the
piece--are wholly original. The story
has only two really iorceiul incidents,
while the present stage version is so
crowded with them that the one danger
OF failure lies in superhuity rather than
poverty Of situation, About all that
has been left is the sparkling humor ol
the tale, the serious portions having been
provided entirely by Mr.. Ssyer. The
drama contains a wonderfully stro
story admirably aud ingeniously got
together. Its atmosphere, force and
wit commend it for hearty praise.
Indeed, this last trait is so much in
evidence both in dialogue and situation
that one is forcibly reminded OF the
perfect dovetailing or Samuel Lever aud
one OF his contemporaries. The two
middle acts are nothing else but power
full, while the third affords some Of the
strongest work seen here since "Secret
Service" departed. And there is
nothing rough about its presentation,
the scene evidently having ripensd uKtll |
Il is as much melloWdrama as melo- |
drama. Contrasts are well emphasized, |
IDEAS carefully brought out and cIimaxes
worked up. The cast
contains Joseph KiIgouT, Joseph
Whiting, 7. Palmer Collins, Arthur
Joseph Keefe. Agnes Rose

MCKINLEY stands for Miles Now.

Mckinley Stands for Miles Now.
President Mckinley has decided
that the Court of Inquiry has dealt
too severely with Maj, Gen. Miles,
Inspector General Breckinridge,
Major John d. Black, CommIssarY
on General Miles's staff, and GER
tain other officers Of the Commis-
sary Department. This news has
filtered out from the White House,
and it is understood there was no
special effort made to keep 1t with
in the Executive Mansion walls.
This position OF the President is
regarded here as a star play, which
can be utilized to his future polit-
ical advantage. The President
reached his decision last Wednes-
day and Immediately sent for
General Wade, the President
of the Court oi Inquiry, to re-
ceive from him the basis OF
some OF the important recommen-
dations of the court The Presi-
dent has clearly foreseen the tenn
pest that would be stirred up in
the army if the report Of the court
were published with his full ap-
| proval. The report as il is is a
direct attack on the veracitv o.
more than three hundred officer:
Of the regular Army. Presiden
Mckinley knows that his approva
in full OF the findings, reeommen
dations and criticisms OF the cour
would be followed by the resigna
ton OF General Miles and a violen
public protest, which would b.
inclorsed practically by the Who'll,
army. 1t is not the present inten
ton Of sagacious executive, bid
ding for a second term OF office, t
make a martyr and probably al
open enemy in the political field
out OF General Miles, and especi
ally in Ohio, where the Sherman
Foraker-Miles element is still
potent.

Atkinson's Fight for Liberty!

Our cowardly Washington
papers openly demand the arrest
OF Hon. Edward Atkinson, the old
New England statesman, for high
treason Both the local Admins
tration organs state that they are
glad to hear that some Of President
Nc Kinley's close official associates
say that he is considering the pro
prietY Of legal action against this
honorable American.
Il is not Atkinson who is guilty
Of treason by mailing Admiral
Dewey, Gen. Otis and others, the
printed expressions Of the genuine
feelings OF the American people
but, on the contrary. it is high
treason on the part of these miser-
able, snivelling, toady Administra-
ton papers to advocate openly,
and in a assembling manner, a
policy which IS a menace to the
perpetuation OF American princi-
pie and the integrity ofthe Repub-
lie.
1t is high treason on their part
to subvert the government, misin-
form the public as regards the ex-
isting circumstances and condi-
tions in the Philippines, and force
upon our soldiers unlawful mill
tary service, thereby causing them
to sacrifice their young lives in an
unholy, un-American war. The
SENTINEL for twenty six years has
alwal been forright. Frequently,
as is the case now, we have been
compelled in the face of seeming
popular sentiment, to advocate the
honest, dignihed course Of true
Anne ricanism. We shall continue,
in spite OF the growls Of the misled
subsidized Press, to stand by the
oppressed. and the Constitution
Of the United States.

their venom because they are
afraid of the German votes. In
their stupidity they do not even

The bill at tht Columbia Theater next
week will be Belasco aud DeMllle's
powerful domestic comedy drama, "The
Wife," presented by the popular Fraw-
ley Stock Company. This was one Of
the original New York LYceum hits,
which laid the foundations OF Daniel
Frohman's success inthe direction of that
model little playhouse, and served to
make his LYceum stock company famous
throughout the country. Since then
"The Wife" has been a favorite bill
wherever presented. and it was one of
Mr.. FrawleY's biggest hits during his
seasons in San Francisco. The play
has always been a great favorite in
Washington from the fact that the
princips scenes are laid here, while the
characters are mostly familiar to the
National Capital. There is an under
current Of political intrigue in the plot,
although the story is, in the main, purely
domestic, and in these days of dramas
dealing with the sinister side OF the
marital relation, it is a positive reliei
