WALES AND THE THEATRE.
lie Attended Forty-six Performances
During the Year 1900.

LONDON. Jan. 12.-As in the case Of
all his other doings, the Prince OF Wales
attendance at the, theatres is carefully
noted An analysis of the year 1900 shows
that of forty-siX evenings spent at Lon
don entertainments he went to the opera
at Covent Garden fourteen times, and this
easily heads the list. The only other per-
formance he witnessed twice was that of
San Toy" but he went TO the Haymarket
three times TO see different productions
with Cyril Maud and Winifred Emery, and
twice to Her Majesty's to see Beerbohm
Tree. Only once did he go to a music
hall. and that the Alhambra, and to but
one pantomime.
Theatregoers in New York will be IA

name but no one was able to locate It.
Shortly afterward, however, it was found
10 be an 1893 vintage. which has cOnse-
quenuy come into vogue. as the 1892 wine
is now growing scarcer. 1t has since been
discovered that two young men, having
purchased on speculation a quantity OF an
1899 wine of an unknown vineyard and
without a name. hurrledly had the labels
printed and launched the brand as soon
as The Gay Lord QueX" became the talk

MOROCCO AS AN EQUIVALENT.
English Suggestions for Settling the
French shore Question.

LONDON, Jan. l2.-Prime Minister Sal
isbury has summoned a meeting of the
Cabinet for January IS, mainly for the
purpose of deciding on a legislative pro-
gramme for the coming Parliamentary
session. 1t is hoped that by that time
the Marquis of Lansdowne, Secretary Of
State for Foreign Affairs. will have com
pleted his negotiations with the French
Foreign Minister, NJ Delcasse, for set
tlement of the question over the French
shore of Newfoundland.
The Marquis of Lansdowne. when he
took the Fcreig, Office portfolio told his
colleagues that il was his ambition 10 get
this question settled once and for all. The
Cabinet long ago accepted the principle
that any territorial compensation in rea-
son might be given to France in exchange
for her Newfoundland rights.
year ago. when the Marquis Of Sails
bury proposed TO resume the negotiations
in view of the pending expiration of the
modus viyendi, a hint was received that
Cyprus might be acceptable to France.
The hint was not taken. for the reason
that Cyprus was regarded as too valuable
as a strategic point and for other reasons
of high policy.
When the Marquis of LansdowRe took
the matter in hand he thought of Moroc-
co. in the disposal of which England has
always claimed u good deal. Despite more
or less authoritative denials. there are rea-
sons TO believe that the Marquis OF Lans-
downe is now negotiating on the basis OF
giving France a free hand in Morocco
whenever shs decides that the time has
come to annex that country. The time is
almost ripe for action in that direction.

CONTROVERSY OVER TRANSFERS
scrnntOn's street Railway and Mu-
nicipaIity Mt Odds.

SCRANTON, Pa. Jan. 1.-THE Scranton

nounced that it will on Tuesday next put
into effect the notice of withdrawal of
transfer privileges despite the action of
the council in declaring its franchises for
feited. 1t is only too plain that the mayor
and council will not be bluffed. and If
the transfers are refused on Tuesday next
il is certain the mayor will direct his
officers TO adopt some radical course.
The company, in response to an in
nation Of this kind has let it be known
that it will pay no attention to either
council the mayor or his officers, and
If an attempt is made to interfere with
the running of their cars the courts will
be appealed to 1t now looks as If some
action of this Kind is certain. In the
mean time the councils have prepared two
more measures aimed at the traction COM
pany, one TO place heavy tax on its
gross receipts and the other to compel
the company to carry all city officials and
police officers free of charge.
General Manager Silliman denied him
self to all newspaper men and appears

EXPRESS COMPANIES TO STAY.
The Railroads Net Seeking to AnnuI
Existing Contracts.

CHICAGO. Jan. 12.-Leading officials Of
Western railroads discredit the report
that plans have been made by ]. Pierpont
Morgan, James J, Hill, and their asso-
ciates to abolish the express companies.
To begin with. the express companies have
contracts with a majority of the railroads
to operate express service for long terms.
and it would be the impossible for the
railroads to repudiate these contracts.
II is well understood in railroad circles
that the big express companies have prac-
tically pooled their issues. Rates are
fixed by agreement and contracts with
railroads are made on a uniform basis.
John j. Valentine, President of the Wells
Fargo Express Company, says:
There is not the slightest truth in the
statement that the railroad companies are
intending or even contemplate going into
the express business for themselves. II
such a move were contemplated by the
railroad companies, they could not well
get around existing contracts, even if they
so desired, which they do not"

AN IMPORTANT MEASURE.
Representative NOrton's Views on
the District Police Bill.

The bill to reorganize the police force
Of the District, which will be taken up
for consideration by the House District
Committee, on Wednesday, is measure
in which the District Commissioners are
deeply interested. \ great many letters
have been received by members Of the
committee. urging favorable action. Rep
resentatiye Norton OF Ohio. who is a
member of the committee. expressed the
opinion yesterday that the bill would be
favorably reported to the House. Speak
ing Of the bill. he said: The Police bill
is a most important local measure, and
one that calls for early consideration by
Congress Major Sylvester is a most com
petent official, who has been thoroughly
trained in police matters, and l believe
his statement as to the necessity for a
reorganization of the police force will be
accepted by the committee.
Il am also in favor of tile other PROPOSE
ton submitted by the Major of Police and
that is that the present force should be in
creased by the addition Of at least 100 pc
licemen. The police force is inadequa e
to the needs of the city. and / am really
surprised that so few large robberies are
committed under the shadow of the Capt.
toll This in itself speaks well for the
efficiency OF the washington police.
IN comparison with other cities of like
size the police force of Washington has
more than twice the territory to cover
When a citizen needs the services Of the
police he needs 1t at once, and therefore
taking into consideration the length Of
territory for a policeman to cover 1t often
happens that a policeman can't be found
when wanted Now, if the police force is
increased as it should be it would add
much TO the safety of the citizen who has
to be out at night and who perhaps may
be called to the sparsely settled section

The Nicararuan Canal Question.

As matters stand today. there is some
doubt regarding the real attitude OF the
British Government in relation to the
Nicaragua Canal question. On Friday it
was reported that Lord Salisbury had an
nounced his determination to insist upon
recognition and observance of the For
ward concession, under which Nicaragua.
in 1897. gave the Atlas Steamship Com
pany, an English corporation, the exciu-
sive right to navigate the San Juan River
for thirty years Yesterday it transpired
that clause was inserted in the Forward
concession, providing that it should rot
interfere with contracts made by the MIC
sraguan Government in relation to an in
ter-oceanic waterway which might follow
the San Juan River line. This, we as
sumo referred to the rights possessed by
the Maritime Canal Company. but which
since have been denounced and Cancelled
by Nicaragua. II that superstition be cor
rect. there may be question whether the
Forward grant did or did not become
monopoly of the San Juan River naviga-
ton after the Maritime Company's con-
cession expired-if it ever did expire.
There is an unnecessary amount of mys-
terry about this matter, which Ameri-
cans ought to resent. The State Depart
ment undoubtedly has private informa
ton concerning the British view of the
Hay Pauncefote Treaty, which it does not
allow to leak out. Mr.. Hay is beyond any
question aware of what Lord Salisbury
intends 10 ask in Alaska as a quid pro
quo for some abatement of his country's
pretensions in Central America. But
Congress and the people are carefully
kept in ignorance OF these matters. After
the close Of the present session, when
the President is no longer Handicapped
by The presence of the legislative branch
OF the Government. we may more conf
IDENTIFY look for developments. Then Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Hay will be no longer
hampered, and the people in Downing
Street will be able TO file their claims

anything else consisting of what is ours

The Surrender of Isl Hsi.

After changing her mind several times,
1t appears that the Dowager Empress has
at last ordered Ii Hung Chang and
Prince Ching to sign the collective note
Of the Powers. By this time We presume
they have done so. and finally turned that
windy corner.
But what next? When, where, and how
is the indemnity question to be adjusted?
That is a matter much more serious in
its character than many peop,. may imag-
inc. and especially for the United States.
This country is badly out in the cold
in the connection. Russia and England
have made friends. apparently, on the
basis of mutual support in Manchuria
and the Laoting Peninsula on one side
and the Yangtse Valley on the other That
means the partition of China to the eX-
tent indicated at least. But, if the two
great Powers mentioned are to be per
mitted to shake the fruit tree in such
a manner. it is not TO be supposed that
France will stand idly by and not in
sist upon some territorial salve to her
wounded feelings. Tonquin is not nearly
as big possession as its owners think
it ought to be. and they are reasonably
sure TO ask for its enlargement. Japan,
too. is in an acquisitive mood and prob
ably may file a claim to Annoy and some
hinterland. America and the open door
are the two things likely to be omitted
from consideration. That is a disgree-
able thought but we must remember that
are costly, and must be paid for one time
or another

SEEDS FOR THE FILIPINoS.
War Department TO Distribute Them
to Nntiye Gardeners.

Arrangements have been made by the
War Department to supply army officers
in the Philippines with garden seeds for
distribution to natives desiring to plant
gardens. Secretary Root endeavored to
have Congress provide for the establish
ment of an agricultural experiment sta
ton in the Philippine Islands. but Con-
gress refused TO do so until peace is Sc
cured.
Chaplain Steward, in letter to the War
Department, suggested that native gar
deners could be greatly assisted by giving
them seed for planting. and arrangements
have now been made with the Secretary
of Agriculture TO send to any place in
the Philippines where American troops
are located limited amount of garden
seeds to supply the military with fresh
vegetables. While general distribution
cannot be made to the natives, a small
allotment will be made to Chaplain Stew
ard for distribution to gardeners near Ma
Mia
