AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Charles Dickson presented his play.
Mistakes VIII Happen for the second
time in topeka. last night The audi
ence was much smaller than at the IN
itial presentation here last November.
but the comedy was just as entertaining
and Mr.. Dickson just as interesting and
graceful
Mistakes VIII Happen" is a good
comedy It's situations are funny No
one can follow the trials of the young
actor as portrayed by Mr.. Dickson with
out feeling a sort of an amused sympa-
thy for the predicanentsi which he has
placed himself. The play Mr. Dickson
says, is a few leaves from the book OF
his own life. A young actor attempts
to keep his marriage q secret because of
the fact that managers do not care to
employ married couples and many
amusing situations result
Mr. Dickson's work is excellent. He IS
plain Charles Dickson on the stage as
well as on the street and his hum1r is
natural and refreshing He has a capa
bic company and altogether Mistakes
Will Happen deserved a larger audi
ance

LETTER FROM TAFT
Dealing With the Situation in the
PHILIPPINES.

Cincinnati, Nov. ia manufacturer
of this city. who has been in correspond
ence on the subject of tariffs in the Phil
ippines with VIM II. Taft, of the Phil
ippine commission has received a letter
from Judge Taft. dated Manila, Septen-
Der p, in which he says
7 was very much interested to read
your letter and am glad you took the
trouble to send paper on the tariff,
which We are about to make up. We
have just passed a civil service law,
which is on the whole think the strict
est law that has been passed under
American auspices.
Il have no doubt we shall be able to
work out successfully the problems be-
fore US if Mckinley is elected I do
not mean to say there are not a great
many difficulties ahead, even with the
policy Of the government toward these
Islands settled, but 1 do mean to say
there are none of them insuperable. We
certainly need new banking facilities
here, and we need better harbOr facfIi-
fAIexicau) this week for the completion
of the harbor a work much of which
was done by the Spanfards but which
remains useless without its completion.
When the harbor facilities are better
doubtless direct American lines will be
established TO Manila I feel confident
Manila will become one Of the great
ports of the Orient Only the surface of
the possible and prospective business of
these islands has been scra tched-
When you speak of letting China
men into these Islands, you touch a
question that has a great many dangers
connected with it, and I could not now
express an opinion on the subject. I
hope there is no doubt about McKinley's
election
With warm regards. believe me
Sincerely yours.

tion For Native Christians In New
Hebrides-No ship Available.

Washington. ID C, 15.-The applica-
ton of the Rev. James f. Hill, of
Canonsburg. Pa, for governmental
aid in protecting native Christians in
the New Hebrides islands was
brought before the cabinet by Secre-
tary Long, to whom application had
been made for Il warship in behalf
of the missionary interests, There
was ii general disposition on the part
of the cabinet officers to do every
thing proper and possible to meet the
requ st of the missionary interests.
But it was found that to send a war
ship to this out-of the-way part of
the world would require trip of
about 1000 miles from the nearest
American station, and the navy de-
partment has no vessels now avail
able for such purpose. 1t was also
reported that French and British gun
boats patrol these as and doubt
less would seek to prevent any such
attack upon the native Christians, as
is said to have been planned.
