Fun" is the element which most
theatre-goers seek. Amusing and
wholesome relaxation from the busy
cares of daily life are not only in de-
mand but beneficial. Farce comedy
best fills the requirement because 1t
can be enjoyed without mental taxa
tion. One of the best offerings in this
line is Have You Seen Smith" 1t is
full of sharply drawn and broadly de-
fined characterizations and replete with
repartee. The popularity of this fa-
NOUS fabric Of fun and movement is
universal. The object is to give enjoy
ment. No p~retentions are made to plot.

England Does Not Consider

UNLESS FOR THE ENEMY
DECISION IN FAVOR OF AMERI-
CAN CARGO.
Verbal Reply Made By Marquis Of
Salisbury to Representatives Of
the United States-Conclusion Ar
rived at That VIII Settle a Vexed
Question and Avoid Trouble.

London, Jan. 10-Ths American -four
seized off Delagoa Bay has been re-
leased. United States Ambassador
Choate had an interview with the Mar
quis Of Salisbury this afternoon and
received a verbal reply to the repre-
sensations Of the Washington govern
inent.
The British note on this subject was
sent later to the United States en-
bassy. The gist Of it was cabled to
Washington. In brief, fOOdstufts ara
not considered cOntraband of war un-
less intended for the enemy.
The foreign office only arrived at
decision today, and it was not until
after Mr.. ChOate's interview with the
Marquis of Salisbury that a note EN-
bodying the provisions was drawn up.
Several Of the governments advisers
wanted to make a regulation regarding
canned goods, but this was decided to
be impracticable.
The decision to make -four and grain
in transit to the enemy contraband IS
evidently hedged in by many difficui-
ties Of execution. but the foreign Office
believes that investigation viii gener-
ally determine whether the grain is
meant for consumption at L0urenzO
Marquee or in the Transvaal
Mr.. ChOate cabled Lord Salisbury s
note to the state department at Wash
ingtOn tonight, and Colonel Hay is eX-
pected to reply accepting the terms.
The latter step was not taken by Mr.
ChOate, as he had first to receive au-
thOrity from the state department TO
do so.

Denver, Jan. Ex-senator Wolcott, It
is said herr is somewhat in disfavor
with the administration. Dissatisfac-
ton exists among a small faction OF
Colorado Republicans and their COM
plants have evidently been heard in
Washington. President Mckinley has
sent in nearly all his recess appoint
ments, but the name of Postmaster
TwOmbly of Denver is still missing. It
is said that President Mckinley is per-
sonally hanging the appointment up
and may decide on another name. It
viii be agreed upon Independently of
Senator Wolcott.
There was a special agent Of TIE
president here during the holidays and
he remained ten days. He was given
abundant testimony by disgruntled Re
publicans in Colorado. The investi-
gator was an fastener and personally
represented the president and Mark
Hanna. Charges have been laid before
these gentlemen by local Republicans
that Senator WolcOtt and his colleagues
are using the Repu Iican party for their
own personal benefit and profit to the
injury of the party at large in Colo

ROOT WON'T HAVE IT
Declines to Be Candidate For
the Vice Presidency.

Milwaukee. Wis, Jan. 10.-Henry c.
Payne, national Republican committee
man OF Wisconsin, today received a
letter from the Hon. Elihu Root, sec
rotary of war, in which Mr.. Root states
ne will not be a candidate for the vice
presidency Of the United States. In
the letter Mr.. Root said he deemed it
far more important to the country, the
administration and the Republican
party at this critical time of war that
he should continue to attend to the
business of the war Office, not that
there are no other men who could well
discharge the duties of secretary of
war. but having spent five or six
months in becoming familiar with the
subject, no other man could step in
and take up the work without going
through the same training.
Being a candidate for vice president
would mean his practical withdrawal
from the duties Of she war Office with
in a very short time.
