A play based upon the characteristics Of
life in Maryland during the civil war and
not Intended as an historical series Of in
cidents. Barbara Frietchie' opened to a
full house last evening. and was received
by the audience with feryor, and in many
instances. where the pathos moved them
in deep silence At the final fall Of the cur
tain. on the scene where Barbara is shot
by her cTazed lover the audience remained
seated until the last. a compliment 10 the
author Of the highest order.
There are incidents which might Re
taken as bordering on the ranting OF melo-
drama, but which are skillfully carried out
20 the avoidance OF this misfortune The
entire atmosphere Of the play is pathetic,
and although il has a sad ending there
was nothing else 10 do with the charac-
ters. and the realism was more effective

was a reminiscence OF her Juliet. As
the heroine she was WinsOme and tender.

her reading of the part. The support vas

parts gave opportunity for considerable
display OF variety of talent The setting
OF tho play was skillfuIly done, and t-e

Another Prc~idcntinI somersnuIt

Senator Beveridge visited the White
House early on yesterday. When ne Left
the presence he hurried to the Capltol
AID introduced an amendment to the
Payne Foraker Porto Rican Tariff bill as
follows:
"AH articles coming into the United states from
Porto Rico or going into Porto Rico from the
nited states shall be admitted free Of duty.
but this shall not be construed As extending tie
Constitution OF the United States or auv part
thereof over Porto Rico and it is hereby declared
That the Constitution Of the United States &.
not extended over Porto Rico"
lt is quite within the bounds OF reason
and prOpriety to accept this amendment as
an inspired notice that Mr.. Mckinley has
again experienced a change Of mind and
once more occupies his original position
IN regard to Porto Rico, at least as far a,
free trade is concerned. In the matter OF
the Constitution, it is easy TO understand
that his convictions would naturally have
TO give way before the necessities Of his
friend and manager Mr.. Hanna who must
secure almost all the contributions for
this years Presidential canvass from cor
poratons who would give nothing If the
Republican party were not pledged to keep
the Constitution out OF new American ter
ritory by fair means or foul.
While there is a deadlock in the Senate
and no apparent chance for immediate ac
tion on the Payne Foraker bill. and while
the relief bill to devote the customs
duties stolen from individual Porto Ricans
to public Improvements in the island Is
being hung up in conference. the merry
Republican game OF misery and starvation
goes on with constantly increasing activi-
~ and terror. Il is a pleasant picture Tor

that our plain duty is to abolish all cus-

While the State and Navy Departments

II would be interesting to know just
what has led to the radical change in the
policy Of the European cabinets toward
this country, which would appear TO have
taken place during the past month or
two. Perhaps we should be not far wrong
in guessing that the trust Administra-
tion's idea OF an omen door for America
in China. and a closed door for Europe in
the Philippines. may have something TO
do with it. In any event there is serious
trouble brewing in the Orient The En-
press Dowager seems bent upon shutting
the portals OF her possessions to Great
Britain and the United States. and il is
apprehended that the treaty ports may be
closed by proclamation any day. Russia
already has the important eutrepot Of
Port Arthur shut tightly and the more or
less universal impression is that Russia
also is behind the movement Of the Dow
ager. In these embarrassing circum-
stances it is not strange that President
Mckinley should think il necessary to de-
spatch strong squadron 10 Chinese wa
ters. Before another moon we may be
able TO hear Of a great Anglo American
naval demonstration. and per haps the
bombardment Of two or three seaports.
Still il would be highly offensive to the
Administration to insinuate that Joint na-
val or military movements could have the
slightest reference to any alliance or IN
derstanding entered into before the Hav-
Pauncefote Treaty was confected.
