AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.
sswhere is CobbP" Presented to Small
Audience.

'sWhere is Cobb?'' was presented at
Crawford's opera house last night to a
small house. The piece is certainly an
odd affair in many ways One of the
oldest features is that it very much re-
sembles Mistakes will Happen" which
was here last season. Mistakes will
Happen" was a very good farce.
Where is Cobb?" would be better if it
resembled it more.
The action of the piece is rather slow,
and the attempt at humor falls to such
phrases as elephant cared, amphibious
quadruped" at several places in the
piece. Now and then a. speciality in the
way of a song and dance is introduced.
In the second act a very blond young
lady of stout build, who had some sort
of a part in the piece, sang the drinking
song from the second act of Giraffe
Giraf1a-'' She had a wealth of imita-
ton flowers around her head and more
upon her shoulders, and when she stag
gered around the stage the roses nodded
and shook until she looked like moving
rose garden. Her voice was not par
ticularly adapted to the song, but she
sang it through to the end. The burden
of the supposed comedy rests on John J.
Swartwood as Leander Cobb, who seems
to have considerable trouble in bringing
q laugh. The piece has been doing well
in Kansas owing to the large wheat
crop and the large amount of money on
hand to be spent

EVACUATION OF CUBA.
American Troops Likely to Re-
main Two Years Yet.

New York, Oct. 27.-The evacuation
of Cuba by the United States is not
likely to take place quite so soon as has
been anticipated in some quarters, says
q. Washington dispatch to the Journal
of Commerce. The withdrawal of the
American troops will not take place in
any event until some form of domestic
government has been established and
is not likely to be ordered by the execu-
tive department of the government
without the authority of congress.
The Cuban constitutional convention
which meets in November is likely to be
in session for several months-probably
much longer than after the adjournment
of the coming session of congress on
elected on November next, will not
meet in regular session until December,
1901. and will hardly do any important
business until the spring of 1902. BY
that time representatives of the new
Cuban republic may be ready to dem
onstrate to the appropriate committees
of congress that they have a govern
ment completely organized and capable
of maintaining treaty obligations with
other powers. Such a government can
hardly exercise it's functions until au-
thorized by congress
Whether it shall be permitted to ex-
ercise them without the supervision of
the United States will be for congress to
determine. The president is not likely
to assume the responsibility of putting
the new Cuban government in operation,
even under the tutelage of the United
States without the direct authority Of
congress. It would appear, therefore,
that the new Cuban republic could not

begin to exercise its functions until the
summer of 1902.
The mere machinery of putting the
new government in operation therefore
win require considerable time. The
United States assumed several serious
responsibilities in Cuba by the treaty
with Spain, but these were more or less
waived by the sixteenth article which de-
c1ared cit is understood that any obi
cations assumed in this treaty by the
United States with respect to Cuba are
limited to the time of it's occupancy
thereof; but it will, upon the terminaI-
ton of such occupancy, advise any gov
eminent established in the island to as
sumo the same obligation"
The bearing of this pledge lies in the
Interpretation of it. Among the assur-
anceS given by Spain, subject to this
limitation was that 1.-THE rights of pro-
perty secured by copyrights and patents
acquired by Spaniards in the island of
Cuba and in Porto Rico, the Philippines
and other ceded territories, at the time
of the exchange of the notifications of
this treaty shall continue to be respect
ed
There is also the provision that the
United States will assume and discharge
the obligations that may under inter
national law result from the fact OF Its
occupation for the protection of life and
property President Mckinley will IN
doubtedIy prefer to leave to congress the
determination how far the advice of the
United States, under their pledges to
Spain, shall be made valid and congress
may not care to decide the question by
snap judgment before the character of
the new Cuban government has been

Will WHITE ON HANNA
Kansas Editors Character Sketch In
McClure's Magazine.

McClure's Magazine
At the top of the front cover of Nc
Cures Magazine for November. in large
green letters is the following: Hanna"
a sketch, by William Allen White"
In the center Of the magazine follow
ing an etching of Senators Marcus A.
Hanna are Is columns, by Mr.. White,
describing that leader of the Republican
forces The following are quotations
from the article: Hanna is an Amer1-
can type. Five years ago he was en-
crossed in business A crisis occurred
in the country's history-partly of his
own making. He slOughed off business
He become a political leader, and-as
patriots goa patriot. By sheer mechan-
ical force, using money, the one lever
which God gave his mastery of, Hanna
set millions Of flags to waving, and
manufactured and distributed, securely
wrapped in packages of assorted sizes
ready for immediate consumption, more
lofty ideals of civic integrity than the
country has consumed before in a, score
of years. A weaker man than Hanna,
with more emotion in his make up.might
have felt more deeply and perhaps more
intelligently, but only a man like Hanna
could have acted in the time Of stress
so wisely With the cold, practical ener-
gy of the trip-hammer, Hanna convert
ed dollars into patriotism, and saved the
nation from calamity.
1.-THE relations existing between Han
president of the United States, are par
ticularly interesting. The popular no
ton of these relations is derived from
newspaper cartoons. Probably at least
100000 of the $4,000, 900 citizens who will
vote at the coming election imagine that
Hanna trampS nOiSely into the White
House every morning, gruff1y gives his
orders for the days administration to
the shivering president, and then walks
out and continues to grind the faces off
the poor; but the real relations existing
between Hanna and Mckinley are
stranger than fiction. 1t is Mckinley,
not Hanna, that controls The master
Gus, virile Hanna in the presence of the
placid, cOlOr1ess, imperturbable, emo
tionless, diplomatic, stolid Mckinley be-
comes specifically deferential and con-
siderate of the presidential dignity al
most to an unnecessary degree.
Now the remedy for Hannaism-
which IS the popular name for the civic
aiIment most bewailed by the gentlemen
aforesaid-iS not found in lampooning
Hanna. Cartoons representing him as
coarse, Sordid, brutal hulk of adipOSe,
leading the tin effigy of a president
around on wheels, will only convince the
youth of the land of one thing: that to
coarse, SOrdid and BRUTAL conviction
which the facts in the case of the real
Hanna surely belle. The remedy for
Hannaism will be found when Hanna's
critics give to the exemplification of
high civic ideals the force of unquaIi-
fed success and the charm of virile per-
sonality. Until then criticism of Hanna
may be esteemed only on account of its
literary excellence. For human nature
in this perverse generation of vipers ad-
mireS paIpable results rather than i'm
palpable rhetoric

Jolntist Campbell Profits by Search
and Seizure Decision

''Buck" Campbell, who was arrested
on the charge OF selling liquor at 612
North Kansas avenue, had his trial in
the police court yesterday and was dis
charged. The witnesses were of the old
familiar type who could remember of
buying and drinking beer in the place,
but they could not remember who sold
it to them.
After he was found not guilty his at
torney made a motion for the return of
the property captured in the place. This
was done under the terms of the deci-
sion of the appellate court, as the city
has no right under that decision to dis
turb the property.
The property was returned and the
jointists who fiocked to the trial seemed
to consider that they had won a. great
victory.
