MUSIC AND THE STAGE.
METROPOLITAN.

ssThe Sign of the Cross played to
standing room only" at the Metropolitan
yesterday afternoon and drew another
big audience to the theater last night.
The wonderful drama Of love and religion
is attracting thousands Of people who
seldom or never attend the regular run
of theatrical performances, and these ad-
ditions to the ranks of habitual play
goers fill the house at every performance.
There are still plenty of good seats left
for the remaining performances, as the
greatest run so far has been on the pop
ular-price matinees, Wednesday and
Thursday, and no one need be disappoint-
ed or turned away.
The first production of Arizona" Au-
gustus Thomas new drama, which is to
be presented at the Metropolitan next
week, occurred in Chicago June II last.
The play was put on at the Grand opera
house for a two weeks trial. to see If 1t
would be worth taking out for the regu-
lar season. Arizona ran fifteen weeks
to record reaking business, and since
Arizona has been given presentation in
Detroit Cleveland, Toronto, Buffalo,
Washington and Boston. 1t will be sub
mitted to the judgment of st. Paul the
ater-goers before 1t is taken to New
York Mr.. Thomas pursued exactly the
same tactics when he first produced ala

A Washington dispatch published in
these columns yesterday embodies the an
Douncement that, ION the representa-
lions" of the Spanish government that
we have no right to them, we are about
to abandon certain islands in the Orient
which have, at least constructively, been
held and occupied by US for over a year
past. The islands are specified as Sulu,
Cayagan and Cibiu, and the abandon
ment, We are told, is determined on be-
cause the authorities of the state de-
find that they lie without the boundary
line laid by the treaty of Paris
This dispatch in it's language and
framework bears many indications Of
having passed through the hands of the
censor of the state department.
The islands in question are part of the
Sulu archipelago All but one Of them are
several degrees north Of the southern
boundary line of the island of N1indanao.
which is principal part of our $780, 900
purchase" They are ALL too, inside OF
the longitudinal line beyond which the
group does not extend. Any may or chart
which does not include these islands
within the groups which we have been
in possession of at least constructively
for the past year would seem to be laid
down on wonderfully zig gag lines, If we
must be said not to own them while own
ing all of Mindanao.
One of the islands mentioned has very
polygamous possession of the same name?
The island of Sulu to be abandoned!
Can it be? Has this empire of ours no
more regard for the rights of its respect
ed suzerains, does it hold its treaty OBJ
legations so lightly that, con the represen-
tations" of any power on earth, it will
abandon it's national wards and throw
the natives back many centuries in the
march of civilization? The idea is fairly
bewildering. Surely there must be some
mistake here.
our polygamous suzerain, the sultan Of
Sulu, is that imperial America will at all
hazards protect him and his from all in
reference by foreign nations. Protec.
ton is protection with or without tariff.
and the national pledge to extend protec-
ton, minus the tariff. to the wards Of
the nation is now evidently about to be
violated.
What did we take from or buy from
Spain anyway, by that Paris bargain!
DID we or did we not buy the Philippine
islands? Did we or did we not buy the
Sulu archipelago? And are or are not
these three Islands among the Philippine
group? When were those representa-
TONS made by the Spanish govern
made? And why delayed so long? These
are questions which the treaty rights of
this country seem to demand an immedi-
ate reply to. The sultan Of Sulu is
dangerous warrior, we have been told by
Prof Schurman and his associates Oh
the peace commission. Is he with i'm
punity to be thus whistled down the i'm
perial wind? We sincerely hope and be-
lfeve that he is not to be disposed of in
any such summary and uncivilized man.
ner
The country will await with trembling
interest more accurate and extended in
formation on this most interesting SUBJ
ject. It will never do to lose powerful
and faithful subject like the sultan Of
Sulu under any circumstances. since so
many of us believe that an empire which
is without its suzerain is not an empire
at all.

CITY WILL APPEAL.
Rysdale Habeas Corpus Case Set
Sweeping Precedent.


Sweeping Precedent.
The corporation attorney will appeal to
the supreme court from the order of Judge
Bum in the Charles Rysdafe habeas cor
pus case. Rysdale was a witness called
for the prosecution in the case against
Freddy" Griffin, which was en- trial be-
fore Judge Hine In the police court Rys-
dale refused to answer certain questions
concerning his visits to the alleged gamb-
ling rooms. and Judge Hine imposed
fine of $40. or twenty days, for contempt
of court. During the noon recess Of the
police court Harvey Hall, attorney for
Griffin. secured a writ of habeas corpus,
returnable before Judge Bum. and that
official released RysdaFe from custody,
holding that he coud not be compelled
to answer the questions put to him.
The corporation attorney claims that the
effect of the order of Judge Bum is so
far reaching that 1t is desirable that the
points involved should be passed on by
the supreme court. and for this reason an
appeal will be taken.

Editor Western News:
Dear Sir:
In the last issue of the Ravalli
County Democrat appeared an article
with the glarlng head lines "a start
ling exposure" making a personal
attack upon r. Lee McCulloch, the
board of county commissioners and
myself. The article in substance ac-
cuses us of having entered into some
kind of an undertaking whereby both
Mr.. McCulloch and myself were to re-
ceiye and have received salaries as at
torneys for the county. If there is one
word of truth in the article the so
called exposure would indeed be start
ling. To those residents of Ravall;
county acquainted with the parties
against whom the accusation is made,
no denial is necessary but for the
benefit of every one concerned en-
close a certificate from the county
clerk and recorder showing that dur
ing 1899 and 1900 there has been paid
by the county for assistant COUNSEL fees
$175 that being the vast amount paid
Mr.. McCulloch.
/ At the time Mr.. McCulloch was EN-
ployed by the commissioners to assist
me, there were appeals from the ac-
tions of the board of commissioners
aggregating $2,242 before the cour,
of adjudication and it was in these
} cases received the assistance com.
planned of. For this work and in
other cases of similar nature ap.
peals were taken wherein 81, 400 addi
tional was involved. Mr.. McCullocl
received $125, this other $50 paid hin
being in connection with the Hamilton

Ifthese amounts allowed for assis
