UNDERSTANDINGS

Theatre-goers naturally expect
something q little better during the
holiday seasons than at other times,
and it was with this fact in mind that
Manager Dockstader gathered together
an especially strong and attractive bill
for Thanksgiving week, commencing
tomorrow. The patrons OF this house
are reminded of the fact that at the
matinee Thanksgiving Day the regular
prices usually charged in the evenings
will prevail. Announcement is made
of the engagement of Jack Marshall's S
Quintet, in a comedy and singing act
that has made successful runs in the
best vaudeville houses in New York,
Philadelphia and Boston. Their work
is evenly balanced, and the act is bound
to prove popular here. The satirical
comedy Of Charles NJ. Seay and Anita
Hendrie, entitled Dollars and Dogs, "
is full of real merit Mr.. Seay is a le-
gitimate comedian of the old school,
and has been associated with William
A. Brady and other well--known
amusement managers Lola Bigger and
Minnie Dreher. the society girls; and
the Orienal Hogan Alley Kids, Dick
and Alice McAvOy, in their latest sue
cess, "Casey's Corner" are up-to-date
and have scored immensely wherever
they have appeared. The funny Dutch
men, Morgan and Otto; Lee Ingham
premier equilibrist; Harry Castle, light
ming change artist. and the old VIII
mington favorites, Haney and HaRey
in a bright new specially, are all clever
and original entertainers. The cineo.
graph will give an entire new series Of
pictures. and as this summary will
show, there is an abundance of rea
talent in this coming weeks bill. The
attendance during the week just passed
was exceptionally large, but It is saf'
TO assume that the coming week viii
sufpass it In point Of numbers.

 Spanish cortes and the queen regent have yet to act, President Mckinley
 will go ahead with his policy in the Philippines. The administration has decided to give General Otis as full authority as was given Admiral Dewey last May.
 The president proposes to use no more severity than is nece ssaly to compel recognition of our authority An effort will be made as soon as the rebellion is crushed to inspire cont- dence in the place of fear and to ar rive at a better understanding with all the natives.
 A considerable number of senators who stood by the treaty throughout the struggle in the senate are much opposed to the permanent retention Of the islands, and they hope to see our control finally resolve itself into pro- tectorate. At all events, they are sat isfied that it is the policy of the pres.- dent to give the Filipinos as large a measure of government as their condition admits of.
 It is said that the president feels that public sentiment is shifting around to a point where it's demands will fall short of the establishment ot a permanent colonial policy. Sena- tors who are in sympathy with the ad- ministration believe that eventually the FiIiDinOs will he given 1iheral self government. It is realized that it will take time to bring about condition Of affairs on the islands that will admit of this, but that it will come ultimately is not doubted.
