TO STOP TREASURY LooTING.

Albany. March q (Special-The bill of Assembly
man Fallows 10 protect the treasury OF New York
City against jobbery in the purchasing of supplies
reported to-day by the strategic Committee
Cities. II did come out, however for the
sderation Of the Assembly. but to be recommtted
again after few triiing typographical changes
The bill provides that when supplies bought by
the city rate above the market price the Con-
troer has the right to demand explanation. At
a hearing upon this bill held some weeks ago be-
fore the Assembly Committee Cities, it
shown that supplies often purchased at price
double their value, thus affording rich margin
for fortunate contractors. For some reason these
arguments did at all appeal to the COM
mittee and q consequence the bill has lain
dormant in the committee since. II is said
to be held there by the allied interests OF the
Platt-Croker organizations" No excuse is given
for the attempt to smother the bill by the COM
mittee except that at demands more considera
tor" Accordingly when the bill reported for
necessary changes in its phraseology, the commit
tee saw 10 it that IL should escape, but sent
back again for further sitting.

THE DRAMA.
HENRY IRVING AND ELLEN TERRY.
SHYLOCK AND PORTIA.

In the Knickerbocker Theatre last night Henry
Irving and Ellen Terry seen with pleasure
and admiration by a great multitude, Shyiock
and Portia. Each of those performances has been
copiously described in this place and each of them
is nearly perfect anything that the pay-gong
public of our time has seen, is likely to
The superlative charm of Henry Irving's acting
the charm of poetry-appears. indeed in characters
OF the ina agnation and the heart. ShyloCk is
character of the Intellect and the baser passions.
ana therefore the rise in 1t the
full stature Of his spiritual greatness The imper-
sonaton, however, is that shows in very brill
iant light his extraordinary mental vigor, his
power OF intense concentration of feeling and his
thorough and splendidy expressive art. Among
all his performances there is scarcely one that
surpasses his Shylock. in unity OF ideal and in
errant and altogether felcitous precision of en-
bodiment. The destructive reactonary effect of
evil passions and wicked purposes, ravaging the
body and corroding the mind of him that harbors
them. has never been amply and terribly
pressed In Shylock as it is in Henry Irvings
sumption of the balefu character.
In dramatic contrast with that omnous and SIN
lister fSure,-the incarnation of hatred and the
minister of revenge-the character of Portia as
shown by Ellen Terry. seems, literally, angel
OF light. All that is enchanting IN generous, affu-
ent womanhood, radiant with pure and happy love
and noble with righteous purpose. is Incarnate in
this superb image of royal beauty and ideal JUS
tice. Not at any time has the language Of
Shakespeare been spoken with more de-
licious fuency with a deeper appreciation Of
every subtety OF its meaning and of its verbal
grace. The delivery OF the speech on Mercy
had all its old, undying charul-the eloquence
that bursts from the heart and thus gives
music to the voice. Among the auxiliar perform
ances of the night those of Gratiano by Mr. Tyars,
and Antonio, by Mr.. Laurence Irving impressed
by fidelity of ideal and excellence of Evolutionary
skill. Mr.. Tyars is adapted for authoritative
and formidable characters than Gratiano. and Mr..
Laurence Irving is more sympathetic with youth
of hope than with the autumnal temperament and
the pensive melancholy Of preordnate lassitude
and apprehensive gloom. But both these perform
gave close denotement of fine artistic fac
ulty. Ellen Terry showed OF recent illness.
Her power was afiuent. nor her spon-
taneous glee infectious and delightful Henry
Irvng's wonderful power OF identifying himself
with character and making it live with its
life and fulfil it's destiny
conspicuously and decisively displayed. W. w.
