The management of the Auditorium

for the patrons of that popular play
horse an attraction that is sure to meet
with popular approval. The Offering
will be Charles H. Yale's latest and
greatest oantomimic and spectacular
creation, The Evil Eye" 1t runs the
entire gamut of stage creation from
grand opera and grand ballet to farce
ard song and dance; from mystefying
scenes of enchantment in a castle far
above the Rhine to a village in the
lowlands of Holland; from the grave to
the gay; from one thing to another. in
such swift progress that the enchanted
mind of the spectators remember
naught else of ordinary life than to
give natural expression to his appro
val.

far in advance of the Humpty Dumpty
tricks as are the electric lights used
now ahead of the tallow dips and gas
lights used in bygone days. One of
these effects is in the last act when

old concessions on the former route
have been abolished. and the govern

are ready and anxious to grant de novo
to the United States an ample conces-
sion for the canal But at Panama the
government of Colombia makes no
bound by its concession to the Panama
company, which has yet some years to
run At Panama, therefore, the United
States would have either to buy out
the old company at an eXorbltant price
or-which would be more probable,
since the company does not seem in

with it the control of the canal. We'll
does the Commission say it Considers
such an arrangement inadmissable.
1t is altogether out of the question.
The United States, if it builds the ca
nal, must be the sole proprietor of the
canal. Wherefore on this third and
most important point the difference in
favor of Nicaragua is simply incom-
measurable.

capable champion of the Panama
route, has recently declared that if we

must make it at Panama for Mature

think its contest will prove effective
and triumphant. The integrity and

knowledge of the subject in hand is
not to be challenged. Their report will,

satisfaction by the great majority of
the Nation, and will be commended to
the favorable consideration of those
who have in hand the direction of the
Nations public business. The report
ought to settle completely and oerma-
nently all questions as to the site and
practicability of the canal. There re-
mains only the question of diplomatic
rights and proprieties, and 1t should
not be difficult to settle that promptly
and in full accord at once with the
honor and with the material welfare of
the United States.

whose gorgeousness is said to be with

gerac" that 1t has astonished those fa-
miliar with the foreign stage more than
the entirely domestic critic. Mr.. Mans
field has thus far enjoyed a season OF
unprecedented success. Only the adj
vanced prices which Irving, with the
prestige of coming from afar. has been
able to demand has furnished a COM
parison for the enormous receipts. Mr.
Mansfield's company number about $50
people, and Is the largest dramatic
company which has ever travelled. He
brings the actors for all the siXty-four
roles, the walking ladies and gentle
