~THE PLAYS

Era Diavolo" was sung to a large and well-pleased audience at O'Briens Opera opera house last night by the Olympic Op- era company MT. Langlais, in the title role was excellent in both his musical and dra- matic interpretation. His voice is fine baritone, and what 1t lacks in sweetness is made up in strength and force.
 MT. Weston, the tenor, as Lorenzo" was pleasing. and while not at his best, sang acceptably.
 Miss Fannie Myers '"Terlina'' was clever. Her voice is rich and clear, and her act ing splendid.
 Miss Jenkins, as "Lady Allcash," sang her part well, and the entire performance fully sustained the companys excellent rep utaItion as an organization of thoroughly honest and capable people. "Girofe-Girofia" will be presented at the matinee this afternoon, and the engage ment will be brought to a close tonight with Paul Jones' on the bill.

4ItA1 o'Brien's opera house next Saturday iA a production of 'vThe Muslketeers,"a is a lover Of antique things and rare books. Some question having arisen as to whether Du- mas entirely created p1is famous charaefer, DArtagnan, or whether he wrote his novel with real parsonage as center, MT. ONeil wrote to M. de Grouchy a well known antiquarian in Paris, asking him if he could find any positive proof as to the real existence of D'Artagnan. M. Grouchy answered that in day book belonging to the Maitre Caillet, a Paris notary Tin, 1889, he found an inscription stating that Mai tre Pierre Cadreau does let and duly devise to Pierre D 'Artagnan, Chevalier Brigadier Captain, and Major General of the Kings Army, a house with large entry, situated in the Rue de Richelieu, for HOO livres year." The lease Is signed ''Cadreau and D'Artagnan," the latter being evidently not as proficient with the pen as with the sword.
 This intere ting discovery, and 1t Is amus- ing to note that DArtagnan should choose a house in the street named after his most powerful enemy-is rendered doubly inter- esting from the fact that it clears up once and for all the vexed question as to DArt- agnan's Christian name, which, unless h1aitre Caillet was In error, was Pierre.

MARTINIQUE TROUBLE.
The Question Discussed in Chamber of
 Deputies.

Paris, February 13-The troubles in the island of Martinique were again brought up in the chamber of deputies to-day, when M. du Quesnay, deputy from Martinique de- manded that the government recall the governor of the island, who. he said, was deceiving the government regarding the electoral situation. He also asked for the dismissal of the public prosecutor. M. du Quesray added that he had received a dis patch to-day showing that riot, or rather insurrection, was in full swing, and that the governor was incapable of suppressing 1t. The minister of the colonies, M de Crais. said that when the full particulars were re- ceived, the question of the reorganization Of Martinique would be explained. The off, cial news, he added, was less alarming than that of M. du Quesnay. Orders have been sent to reinforce the garrison by a company of marines, and a cruiser was on her way to Fort de France That was the only possi- bie reply for the time being. The chamber refused to discuss the matter further.

THE LANCTRY CONCERT
 WAS A BIG SUCCESS
". c. T. U. Held a Meeting at the Same Time and Rounuly Roasted Sup
 posed Serving of Drinks.
!sl ]: 5! :,f11

New York, February 13.-Society and the stage, represented by women of wealth and beauty, crowded the ball room al Sherry's this afternoon, patronizing the -'concert" arranged by Mrs. Langtry to raise funds for the hospital ship Maine now in South Africa. Although young women did not sell cocktails and other re- Treatments at the American bar, as had been expected, there was a big crush and large sum of money was realized. The ball room and the communicating corri- dors and rooms<fr from half past three on were crowded with people. The ball room itself was packed, and it was impossible ito follow the programme, in Which lna best known people of the stage took pare. There were several police officials present sent to the concert by Chief Devery in re- sponse to the demands of the. Woman 8 Christian Temperance Union. The police had nothing to do, but they were present flor the purpose of watching the "American bar" and if necessary preventing the car rylng out of the original plans of Mrs. Langtry and other organizers of the enter tainment to have young women dispense drinks.
 About the time that Mrs. Langtry's tea was at it's height there was an informal conference of the Womens Christian Tem- pSrdnce OnlOn at In6 brOduNdy dDeI- nacle. Here the ''tea'' was discussed from every standpoint. Mrs. Ella Boole, presi- dent of the State W. c. T. U., spoke of the affair in the following words:
 ..It is lamentable fact that all women are not with us. If they were we would not have presented to the American people a concert with patronesses from the -four hundred planning to have young women stand behind bar and urge young men to drink. Such scene is fit only for the vilest slums, and the vice would be so hide ous that the law would interfere
 Two hours later Mrs. Boole announced amid cheers and applause that thanks to the efforts of the Woman's Christian Tenn peranoe union, no woman had disgraced herself so far at the Langtry 'itea' as to serve drinks to men. v
 The first of the four hundred to arrive at the tea was Mrs. Herman Oelrich. Other well-known society people came later, among them being Mrs. Townsend Burden and one of her daughters; Mrs. Theo Have-' meyer, Jr, Mrs. Albert Steven, Mrs. Buch- anan, Lady Colebrook Mrs. Jordan Motts Mrs. John c. Westervell, Mrs. Oliver Har- riman, Mrs. John DreXel, Mrs. Robert OS- ~porne and Mrs. Addison Cammack. Instead of young women, the Earl of Yarmouth and several professional bartenders served liquors at 50 cents a drink, including those with such names as the Degenerate SmMe,'' "A Surprise of Love" and the tDum-Dum."
 There was no mistal0ing the fact that the entertainment had been planned to raise money, even the programs selling at two dollars each. Something over s6,0OO was said to have been taken in.

Woodward-pyarren Companv

Owing to the extreme illness of Miss Ma bel Eckhart, who plays very important roles in the repertoire of the Woodward Warren company, MT. Woodward decided last night to give no performance, feeling that it would neither be justice to his pat rons nor to his scompany to attempt sub stitute plays. He hopes that Miss Eckhart will be sufficiently well by Friday for the company to resume its engagement at the Auditorium. Due announcement will be given in the daily papers of the date for the next performance. This company is very popular here and many theater-goers will be disappointed at the unavoidable misfortune which has befallen them.

w. H. Vests Big Minstrel Jubilee

It Is a well-known fact that MT. West bears the distinction of being one of the most progressive minstrels in the world. He is always foremost in his ideas, and to fhis inventive genius is due the organiza- tion now known as the w. H. Vests Great Minstrel Jubilee. MT. West frequently de- clares that this only purely American form of entertainment so dear to the American heart shall never become extinct so long as he Is alive. In order to meet the pub lie demands and secure their patronage, money must be spent, and no other mana ger in the world has the resources at his command and is so willing to spend it as this eminent founder of tine new school of minstrelsy. William H. West.
 The West Minstrels will be at O'Brien's opera house tomorrow night.

HANNA SAYS HE NEVER SAID 1T;
DOWIElTE ELDERS ARE MOBBED

Cleveland, Sept. Ex-senator Hanna
left for New York last evening. He
will remain at the Republican head
quarters for two or three weeks, and
will then return to Chicago. In an in
terview before his departure he said:
THE speech l made at Chicago on
the so-called trust issue was mis-
quoted and garbled What / said was
that there were no trusts in the mean
ing of the law. When / said that / did
not say that there are no combines Of
capital. nor did I say that there are
no combines that work injustice to the
people. This so-called trust issue is
nothing more than a bugaboo of Bry-
ans to catch votes. What antitrust
laws have been enacted have been en-
acted by the Republicans. On the So
called trust issue Bryan is on the de-
fensive. He should tell why the Dem
ocratic party has never supported nor
proposed any legislation to regulate
the commercial combinations Of the
country. The issue of imperialism will
soon be relegated to the rear. The
money question will soon be the para
mount issue"
Senator Hanna said he had not de-
eided to go on the stump in the east
but would do so if he thought best
He declared furthermore that he had
issued no challenge to Mr.. Bryan for a
joint debate, nor had he challenged
anybody TO debate. However, he said.
he was not afraid TO meet anybody on
the issues of the campaign

Manila. Sept. 2i.-The amnesty ex-
pired Sept. p, and the conditions tkEt
existed previously have been resumed.
The iHsurEont demonstrations last
week prove TO lave been more extend
ed than was at first reported. From
Cssayan and Isabella provinces and
the northwestern districts OF Luzon
come accounts OF insurgent Operations
and American precautionary measures
Merchants in the province Of Albay are
getting their hemp in Manila as rapid
ly as possible. fearing that otherwise
it will be burned by the insurgents.
At IlOilo there was considerable anx-
iety lest an uprising should occur, but
the insurgents there are ceasing their
activity and returning in white cloth
ing TO the garrisoned towns OF the dis
trict. AS a resumption OF insurgent
operations Is considered quite prob
able, the Americans there are taking
the necessary steps.
The American casualties in killed,
wounded OF missing during the last
ten days approach 100. including those
at Siniloan, at the cast OF Laguna de
Bay, where the Insurgents, after the
engagement, delivered ten bodies OF
our ucau.
An insurgent proclamation, signed
last month by Aguinaldo, directing
that American prisoners be set at lib
erty, that good treatment be accorded
to captivos. and that $40 be paid to
each American su-rendering, has reach
cd Manila. Few prisoners we're re-
leased under the proclamation. Two,

APPEALS TO VOTERS:
GREAT SPANISH WARRIOR DEAD

London, Sept. 24.-Lord Salisbury's
manifesto to the electors of the Uni
ted Kingdom, in anticipation Of the
parliamentary general elections, en-
phasizes the necessity that the queen s
government should be supported by a
strong parliamentary majority as "the
only means of convincing the inhabi-
tants of the conquered South Africa
territories that there is no hope of di-
verting the government from their
policy by persistent resistance or agi-
tation."
After remarking that call the recent
troubles IN South Africa have been due
to shift of parliamentary opinion
at critical moment" the prime min
lister goes on TO say:
1T will depend upon the disposition
and conduct Of the Beers how long an
interval is to elapse before their full
position as a British colony Is az
tanned. The brilliant success Of Lord
Roberts army must not blind us to
the imperfections disclosed in our own
defensive armor, imperfections which,
but for the war, might have remained
unnoticed. 1t will be the urgent duty
Of parliament and the government to
remove the defects, duty which GER
tainly couh not be discharged by a
ministry depending upon a broken
party"
