Special TO the Register.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 2S.-Rail.
road men have within the last few days
been collecting the broken ends of Ger.
tain threads and are now weaving a
very pretty fabric out of it.
A few days ago it was announced
that a new line OF railroad Is to be
constructed between Uniontown and
Wheeling. the same to be a short cut
outlet to the coke regions.
The following day came the an
nouncement OF rumors aioat that the
Wabash railroad has designs on the
Wheeling & Lake Erie. The Union
town line has been connected, since its
inception. with the name of the Wheel
ing & Lake Erie, and the belief has
been that 1t is to be built for the con-
~venience of the road named. Now the
railroad men have Joined these two
stories together and have cdmented
them with some things which recently
occurred in Chicago. and the story is
going as a result that the Wabash
railroad is backing the Uniontown Il
Wheeling railroad and intends by
means of the Wheeling & Lake Erie
to get an entrance into the coke fields
of West Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The umo is given the greatest cred
ence by many well posted railroad men.
1t is now said that the Wabash in
tends to build a line from Toledo to
Montpelier. Mich, to connect this ter
ritory with the Chicago line. giving
through connections from the West
Virginia coal fields to that territory.
These reports come violently in con-
fict with some facts in the case. 1t is
known that the Wheeling Bridge &
Terminal Company's property is owned
jointly by the Wheeling & Lake Erie
and the Baltimore & Ohio. Other
events of late have shown these roads
to be close together, making il more
han likely that in case the Wheeling
& Lake Erie makes an alliance it will
be with the Baltimore & Ohio.
When this phase of the question is
brought out the railroad men are in
clined to complicate the matters still
further and predict that the end of tho
matter will be a combination of the
Wheeling g. Lake Erie and the Balti-
more & Ohio, and the two absorbing
the Uniontown line with a close alli-
ance being formed between the Wabash
and the Baltimore & Ohio by which
the latter secures it's desired entrance
into the eastern field. To many this
sort of a combination seems incongru-
Gus and they are inclined to the be-
lief that if the Baltimore e. Ohio gets
the Wheeling & Lake Erie the Wabash
will stay out of the territory. and also
if it is at ali possible the Wabash will
secure the Wheeling IL Lake Erie and
will thus enter vigorously into the east
ern business.
If the Wabash succeeds in making
an alliance with the Wheeling & Lake
Erie it will be alone in having a line
on both the north and south shore or
the lake, its present line extending
through Detroit to Buffalo. The out
look is sufficiently serious TO cause off,
Gals of the other roads much concern
and the developments are being watch
ed with interest. especially since IL Is
said that the plans will be matured
before the end of the summer.

B~ERNHARDT's NEW PLAY.

Paris. March 1.-The artistic world is
much interested in the new play by Ed
mond Rostand. author Of 'Cyrano de
Bergerac." Rehearsals are now proceed
ing under the direction Of Sarah Bern
hardt at her new theater. The play is
entitled "L'Aiglon." and is based on a
dramatic incident in the life of the Due
de Reichstadt, king of Rome, son of Ma
poleon I.
The duke is played by Bernhard. The
role is a long and difficult one. but gives
immense scope for the display of TRACE
dy and tenderness. She is sparing no
pains upon the part, laboring at it inces-
sanity. She goes through it almost daily
with the author.
1t is sal dthat the actress wears mems
clothes about the house in order to ac-
custom herself to the attire.
This is not Bernhardt's first appear
ance in trousers. She played the part
of Hamlet last year with much sue
cess.

Many years ago there was actual unity
between he Crown states, but today that
unity is a thing of the past. Thirty
years ago it looked as if the Bohemians
tongue and adopt the German language,
but today they are more Czech than ever,
and 1t is the German element who will
have to look to the sword if they intend
to carry out their original plan. which
was to- absorb the rival race. OF course
it now looks as If the emperor intended
to use force, If force is necessary to bring
about this desired result.
That the emperor is strong in his pur-
pose is beyond question, but that he has
sufficient strength to carry out that pur-
pose is quite another matter. Up to the
present time it has been only his per-
sonal popularity hat has saved him.
The affection of the Czechs for their
ruler has been the strong power that has
prevented them from instituting open
rebellion, but this power is slowly being
lessened. Already there are mutterings
among the Bohemians, and a few more
such decisions as this last one will be
suft1clent to inaugurate a revolution thai
Will shake the mpire.
Against such an uprising the German
element would be powerless, for if there
is n thing that the German element
lacks it is the strength that results from
compactness. The Czechs act as a cor
porate unit on all political issues. while
the strength of the Germans is divided
among a hundred issues. Some make a
creed of anti-Semitism; some work only
for universal suffrage: others are wholly
aiken up with fighting the Catholic
church: others with protecting the inter-
ests of the land owners. Against the
dashing. serried attacks of the Czechs
they would probabl ybe able to offer only
a weak n disunited opposition.
Such is the condition of affairs in Aus
tria today. The power is ready to be ie-
nited. and it will require but a match
to set it off. For a moment it looked as
If the emperor himself had furnished the
light for the fuse when he announced
his decision against the Bohemian word
"zde." and it is not at all unlikely that
1t will be this single word that will be
the cause of the revolution after all if
he persists in carrying out the threat
that all soldiers failing to make use OF
the German "hier" shall be arrested and
imprisoned for their disobedience.
There are Czech soldiers who make too
much account of nationality and lam
guape to speak the German equivalent
for "zde," and their punishment would
certainly cause revolution.
What will happen time alone can show.
but it would be a striking fullfillment OF
Prince Bismarck's prediction if the Aus
trian-Hungarian empire should split over
a single word.

OF HEARTS
ARE TRUMpS."

The author of Hearts are Trumps''
and Of it's companion plays is Cecil Raj
eigh, an English dramatist of great inge-
nuity, who will hereafter furnish one
play a year for New York.
With him the one great scene is the
main thing, and the remainder of tho
play is designed merely to lead up to tho
~all-powefful situation. But there is
nothing effete in Raleigh's plays and
plots. They deal with the virile impuls-
end good is always triumphant and evil
is punished. So it is in Hearts Are
Tfufnps." Reduced to narrative, the plot
is something like this:
Michael Vain is a self-made Austra,-
ian with plenty of money. He holds
fred Crosby, a fashionable lady. whose
father, Vain believes, ruined the lat
ter's brother many years before. There.
fore when the opportunity comes he
Turns her out Of house and home, and
remains deaf to all her appeals for mer-

Lady Winifred Crosby establishes her
self in business on borrowed capital, but
soon finds the bailiffs in possession Of
her premises. She is further handicap
ped by a debt of els, 900 to a villainous
money lender. one Leopold Kolditz, who
holds as security an insurance policy on
the life of Lady Winifred's charming
ward, Dora.
Dofa also mas her own miSfortunes. In
an attempt to sell some sketches at the
studio of Basil Gillespie she meets Maude

comes her friend, and the Earl of Bur-.
ford, a parvenue, who becomes her enc

revenge.
The revenge is effective enough. Gill

owes the Lord of Burford a
