Queens Hint About Shamrock Decor
ations Sets England Wild.

New York, March ia dispatch to
the Herald from London says:
There are ample eloquent indications
that the queens message about the SOL
diers wearing the shamrock has been
interpreted in a way which her majes-
ty can scarcely have expected, for St.
Patrick's day IS going to be celebrated
here as a grand national festivity.
Long ago it was announced that the
Irish national flag would wave above
the Mansion House, but this also had,
like the queens message results which
could scarcely have been expected, for
it gave the idea all over the country to
sport the green flag. The result was
that people are wandering about clam
oring for Irish flags with which to dec
crate their houses and are intensely
disappointed 10 hear that all such
flags have been sold.
Each train is bringing in crates of
shamrock from Ireland. 1t is quite safe
to predict that tomorrow all British
subjects will wear the shamrock in
honor of the gallant Irish soldiers at
the front and that everywhere possible
the harp on the green ground will wave
alongside the union jack and the ma
tional standard.
1t will be St Patrick's day such as
has never been known before
A politician, talking today, said it was
hoped that occurrences tomorrow would
do more to heal all the hard sentiment
which has existed between Ireland and
England than any of the many past ef-
forts made to bring about a better un-

NEW YORK BALL TEAM.
Manager Ewing Perplexed About Sew
eral of His Players.

New York, March 16.-Nothing
has been heard from Pitts
burg concerning Bowerman, the catch
er, who at the league meeting was do
mated to New York. The official noti-
fication of Bowermans release, which
is necessary before New York can sign
the catcher, is not yet forthcoming, and
Manager Ewing is wondering if he is
to get Bowerman after all. Nothing
has been heard from Washington as to
Mercer. All Ewing knows about him is
that it was announced at the league
meeting that he had been turned over
to New York gratis, In the meantime
all the other league teams except
Brooklyn have gone south to train and
the New York's are losing valuable
time
~Dreyfus promised us Tom O'Brien
and Bowerman,'' Ewing said today,
but the Pittsburg's have taken O'Brien
south with them. l don't know where
Bowerman and Mercer are and have
not been able to hear. We want the
players now.
Not a man that we have asked for
is one that would do the other teams
any good Mr. Freedman remarked
when he mailed the agreement to Nick
Young, that if the other teams expect
ed to make money from the New York
team that they ought to help strength

would give US a pretty good team.
Il can't get over Rogers nerve in
asking $4,000 for that outfielder He
offered to sell the same man to New
York for $1,000 last year. or trade him
for Gettig, and I can't see where the
man has improved $4,000 worth since"
"Why don't you take Harley or Dowd
whom Frank Robson said New York
could have for nothing?" was. asked
Il want to strengthen the New
York s." Ewing replied. These men
were on tail end team in a 12-club
league, so l don't see that they would
help a team in an S-club league, when
the other teams will be stronger all
around. 1 am not finding any fault with
Mr. Robson, either. I think he is one
magnate who is willing to do what he
can to help the New York team"

Brush about players?"

COINAGE OF CHANGE.
$2o,OOO,OOO of Subsidiary Silver Will
Be Minted.

New York, March ia special to the
Times from Washington, D. c., says:
The mints of the United States will
be busy for some time to come in un
dertaking to carry out the provisions
of the act that has just become a law,
and that permits the secretary of the
treasury to add $40, 600, 600 to the stock of
subsidiary coinage. The authority to
coin silver of the small determinations
has been obtained specifically from
time to time, but has been restricted to
small amounts, the supporters of the
free coinage of silver having system
atically resisted the increase of the sup
ply of minor silver.
Director of the Mint Roberts, in talk
ing about the objects and usefulness of
the new act, as relating to subsidiary
silver coinage, said:
"The new monetary act, approved
March IA, authorizes an increase of
about $20, 600 600 in the stock of subsid-
iary silver coins. The last authority for
the is of subsidiary silver was given
by a It resolution, approved July p,
1876, in preparation for the resumption
of specie payments. 1t authorized the
issue of an amount which, together
with the fractional paper currency out
standing, should at no time exceed $780,
100000.
June 9, 1879, the act providing for
the redemption of subsidiary silver in
lawful money was passed, and forth
with our old quarters. dimes and halves,
which had been driven to the West In
dies and South America by our paper
money, began to return.
"They were presented for redemption
until the treasury held over $4,000 900.
In this way the $50 600. 900 limit was ex-
ceeded for the treasury officials paid
this stock out in the regular course of
business until it was practically all alb

''The present stock in the country
thus reached about $50 O00, ,0O0 Under

bullion purchased under the Sherman
act may be coined. The new authority
was sorely needed. and will scarcely

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Under the Red Robe" returned to the
stage of the Crawford theater in this
city last night with a new "Gil de
Berault" and a new Renee de Coche-
fort.'' In the former role Paul Gaze
neuve has succeeded William Morris, and
in the latter Miss Amelia Gardner, who
was seen here last season in Sowing
the Wind has taken the place of Fran
ces Gaunt. The audience that saw the
piece last night was much smaller but
more enthusiastic over the work of the
two principals than the audience of last
year. and after the second and third
acts twice called Mr.. Cazeneuve and
Miss Gardner before the curtain
The performance given the dramatiza-
tion of Stanley Weyman's romantic
story was altogether satisfactory. The
Renee of Miss Gardner could scarcely
be improved upon, and there is much to
be said for Mr.. Cazenuve's "Gil de
Berault.'' His work is considerably diff
ferent from that of Mr.. Morris, and at
times he proves himself less capable
in the part. On the whole, however, his
Interpretation of the picturesque char
acter is accomplished. Miss Gardner
proved her ability to handle an emo
tional role in a natural manner in the
Grundy drama last year, and her work
last night amounted to second demon
The '.RicheIeu'' of Mr. James R.
Carey is similar to that of his prede-
cesor, Frank McGlynn, in one point at
least At no time does he make his
audience feel that the great churchman
of France is before it, Notwithstanding
his portrayal of the powerful cardinal is
not a bad piece of acting. Edward B.
Tilton has created a character in the
Lieutenant" the loss of which would
probably be felt in the production, and
for this reason he is still with the COM
pany. Miss Mary Asquith as Mime. de
Cocheforet" proved the weakest mem
ber of the organization. Henry West
provides what little comedy there is in
the piece in the part of Captain
Larolle," and while he plays it as it
was written, the idea of such a brain
less fellow having attained the position
of captain of the guard in the crafty
days of 'Richelieu" is rather ridiculous.
The dueling scene in the first act
proved to be one of the features of last
nights performance 1t was probably
the most energetic scene of the kind
seen on the local stage, and unlike the
majority of stage duels lasted for sew
eral minutes.
The same entire scenic equipment
used last season was seen in the pro-
duction last night.

BERNHARDT,S NEW PLAY.
Dress Rehearsal of Rostand's "L'Ai-
gionn Enthusiastically Received.

Paris, March 16-The dress rehearsal
of 'L'Aiglon, 1.-THE new play by Rostand,
author Of "Cyrano de Bergerac, - took
place at Sarah Bernhardt's theater last
night. The theater was filled by Par
isian notabilities. The play was receiv-
ed With enthusiasm.
Bernhardt was very powerful, espec-
tally in the parts where she, as the
younk Duke, invokes the memory of
Napoleon, his father. The third act is
great success for Guitry. Scene 1 in
the fourth act, a bah in the gardens of
the Prince of Metternich, is superb.
The action of the piece is based on a
conspiracy, having for it's object the
elevation of Napoleon's son to the
throne of France. The conspiracy fails,
and the young Prince dies, feeling that
he has not inherited his fathers glory.
The expected Bonapartist demonstra-
ton did not come off, Prince Victor
having apparently disapproved of it.
The new piece is not political in any
way. It is a dramatic work, admittedly
of high value, although it is early as
yet to make comparisons as regards its
public favor with '.Cryano." The fact
that seats worth $4,000 are already
booked guarantee a large popularity for
the play.

Little Bicycle Racer Again Returns

New York, March 15.-After a thor

brought him little money and still less
glory, Jimmy Michael, once the peer of
all middle distance cyclists, has come
to the conclusion that the bicycle and
not the horse is his game. The little
Welshman has returned from New Or
leans. A conference took place today
between Michael and Tom Ryan, man
ager of the Manhattan Beach track
and, while nothing definite was ar
ranged, it is among the possibilities
that Jimmy will locate at the track by
the sea for the coming season and will
meet all corners on the cement circle.
