Chn.e,.-poIite vaudeviIIe.

Fanny Rice's Nell Gwyn sketch, which
formed the principal feature of the bill
of polite vaudeville at Chase's yesterday,
is one of the best written, most cleverly
! constructed and abiest presented play
let's that the patrons of me Grand have
enjoyed in a long time. Miss Rice has
provided a special scenic setting for the
little play. while the costumes are very
handsome. The supporting company in
cludes two very capable players, Miss Eva
Randolph as the Duchess of Richmond,
being especially worthy of praise. while
Mr.. Louis Payne, as King Charles ii, in
terprets his role most excellently. Miss
Rice's portrayal of Nell Is in many ways
emineRtly satisfactory, although she does
not look the Nell we have been taught to
picture in the minds eye. Miss Rice has
taken on too much avoirdupois to suit the
role, but she. nevertheless, possesses a
great amount of magnetism and a good
nature which manifest themselves
throughout the action of the sketch. The
audiences yesterday liked the piece i'm
mensely and applause was frequent and
sincere.
Another sketch, Lady Betty's High
wayman" is presented by John Albaugh,
assisted by Miss Beth Franklyn. This
latest Albaugh Offering is distinctly in
ferior to the same actors Trenton,
WHICH Was presented Oh tfle tudSe stage

contains nothing to lift it out of the mass
of other vaudeville sketches, and 1t fails

CANAL MATTERS DISCUSSED.
Senator'S Lodge and Foraker Confer
With Secretary Hay.

Senator's Lodge and Foraker leading
members of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, held a long conference with Sec
rotary Hay at the State Department yes
terday. The Isthmian Canal Treaty was
carefully gone over, as was Mr.. Lodges
the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty.
There has been no change in the diplo-
matte situation. No negotiations for new
treaty have been Initiated either in Lon
don or Washington. 1t became known yes
terday that the State Department holds
that the Senate did not reject the prin-
ciple OF neutrality in amending the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty and the inference to
be drawn from statements made at the
State Department is that If any new
treaty is negotiated II will contain a neu-
trality clause. The position of the depart
ment appears to be that the reservation
in the Davis amendment of the right of
the United States to defend the canal
does not do away with its naturalization.

was simply made to get an order Of court,
as Judge Harvey. Mrs. Prizes attorney. and
had come to an agreement regarding the
matter. Mr.. Prize wanted one Of the
children and was willing to let Mrs. Pirte
have absolute custody Of the other one.
There had been some little delay. as Mrs.

negotiations were commenced. and besides
she first wanted to see her son, Garrison. I

the last day Of court. Mr.. Pirie did not
say anything about the custody of the

The Ferguson officials received another let
ter yesterday. giving them q new clew to
the murder. The letter was from man
who lives near Carsonville. The writer said
that there was q negro ex-convict In the
neighborhood. who had been plentifully
supplied with money since the night OF the
shooting, which was the same night that
Casper II. Ronsiek Of Florissant was held
UP and robbed. Several hours before the
shooting the man was heard to say that
Ronsiek had considerable money on his
person. Mr.. Ronsiek saw the negro in q
street car yesterday, and said that he re-
sembled exactly the man who held him up.
but he refused to apply for q warrant for
fear that he might be mistaken in his
Identification.
The Pinkerton detective. who was work
ing on the case. has given up his task. He
reported to headquarters in Chicago that
he could not find a single clew. and was
| ordered to withdraw from the case.
