the forthcoming report Of the Indian cur
rency commission, and hoped it would
not recommend a gold currency, as he
| thought an international agreement on
bimetallism would be reached before
long, but with a change Of ratio. Re-
garding the Anglo American high COM
mission, Senator Wolcott said the trou
Bile was with Canada and not with Great
Britain. The Canadians, he claimed, are
not easy to deal with, but he thought q
solution OF the difficulty would yet be
found.
Considering the advanced state of the
season, numerous changes are an
nounced by the theaters. The Ameri-
cans are looking forward with interest
to Nat Goodwin's appearance at the
Duke Of Yorks theate ter on Monday. At
Dalys, the same night, George Edwards
will revive THE Gaety Girl On Tues
day there will be a revival of "Pinafore"
! at the Savoy, and on Thursday Sara
Bernhardt will open with La Tosca' at
the Adelphi. At a meeting of the The
atrlcal Managers association on Thurs
day it was decided to fight the music
halls on their own ground and to obtain
the right to permit smoking in theaters.
1t is not expected that the best houses
will avail themselves of the privilege,
though it is recognized that some of the
theaters devoted to light entertainments
will find the smoking privilege valuable.
When Lydia Thompson was in Amer
ica after the Franco-Prussian war she
gave benefits at Washington, Philadel-
pha, Plttsburg and New Orleans for the
French actors and actresses. This they
have never forgotten, and it led Sara
Bernhardt to organize a benefit for Miss
Thompson, who is now retired from the
stage. The performance was given on
| Thursday at the Porte ST. Martin thea
ter, Paris, a wonderful array of celebri-
ties including Coquelin, Bernhardt and
Rejane, taking part in it. The benefit
netted $4,000 for Miss Thompson.
