KAISER WILLIAMS CANAL.
Its Traffic Has Doubled i'm Vessels
and TripIed I'm Tonnage.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-The State De
partment has received from Mr.. Jackson
secretary of the United States embassy at
Berlin, a report upon the traffic through the
Kaiser Wilhelm canal during 1900. The
total traffic of the canal during that year
was 29,571 ships, exclusive of German war
vessels. The through traffic for the last
five years, 1T is said, has more than doubled
as regards number of vessels, and more
than trebled as to tonnage. This canal,
Mr.. Jackson says, has given repeated proofs
of its capabilities i'm relation to the number
of ships passing in one day and its naVi-
gability for very large vessels.
For example. on June Is. 1909. lis vessels
of a total tonnage of 20 .646 passed through
the canal. and the big German cruiser,
Fuerst Bismarck. and the Japanese cruiser.
Yakumo, both very large vessels. have
traversed il successfully. AS to the United
States vessels, Mr.. Jackson says that eX-
perience appears to show that 1t is less ex-
pensive for our ships TO &C through the
Kaiser Wilhelm than to round the Spanish
peninsula, taking into consideration the
saving in time and coal. He says that it
has been possible TO maintain the traffic
without any interruption from ice, even
during the most severe weather.

"san Toy" Mt EngIish's.

y second musical comedy of British make
was shown at English's Opera House last
night. The first was The Runaway Girl"
and it satirized personally-conducted Eu-
ropean tours; the other was San Toy" and
it made fun of the contrast between Chi
nese and English manners. with interest
added by a love match between a young
English captain and a pretty Chinese girl.
Both entertainments were delightful and
were prepared and acted tastefully, fanci-
fully and melodiously. They and more like
them will further the Anglo-American
alliance.
San Toy showed a street in Pynka-
Pong and the interior of the EmperOr's
palace at Peking, both gorgeous pictures. In
these scenes moved Yen How. a mandarin
with six little wives. He had a daughter,
too, named San Toy. She was disguised
as a boy. because the Emperor had de-
manded her ather's daughter and he had
eplied that he had only a son. San Toy
was In love with Capt. Bobby Preston, who
Was in ~Pynka-Pong with his father, Sir
Bingo Preston. The latter sought a con-
CessiOn and the mandarin was the man
TO get il for him. But the mandardin's
fake story about his having no daughter
was discredited at court and San Toy had
TO go TO the Emperor. Bobby Preston and
all the others followed her. The Emperor
liked San Toy so well that though he could
not overlook her English veneer and marry
her. he gave her TO her captain.
The story was followed faithfully and
II was seldom that the players stepped out
of their characters to make a point; con-
sistency is a prominent virtue OF the Eng
fish writer's, and the American actors were
sensible enough to follow directions George
EOTteScuc. n large comedian with a real
laugh. who is an old friend, was the man
DARN. Marie Celeste was San Toy and
she played the part charmingly. She had
many friends across the fOOtlights and was
in high spirit. Samuel Collins had the part
of Ii, an AngliCized Chinese boy. mis-
chievous and not averSe 10 stealing, which
James L. Powers played in New York. Mr..
Collins was unfamiliar here until last night.
but hereafter he will be known here as a
resourceful comedian with the caricaturing
ability. Melville Stewart, with good looks
and voice. was BODY Preston. SaronysLam-
bert was the shriveled, squeaky-voiced En-
perOr. Harold Wizard was Sir Bingo, hOrid,
nervous and egotistical. Paula Edwards
returned. after a long absence, as a lady'S
maid. She was as plump, smiling and
vivaciOus rs before. Elgie Bowen was the
principal one of the mandarin'S six wives.
and she sang prettily a song about the
maid IN the moon. Nora Lambert danced
other spectators.
The songs of the show tell stories that
are bright and the solos and choruses are
sung with a rOusing spirit The comedy is
all ingenious and there is a great deal OF n.
The cOstuming is cOlOTful. the ensembles
are elaborate and graceful. Last nights
audience was large and enthusiastic. a
performance will be given this afternoon
and another tonight.

VERDICT SET ASIDE.
Remarkable Action of Judge O'Gor-

NEW YORK. Nov. 15.-Justice O'Gorman.
i'm the Supreme Court to-day, of his W
motion, set aside a verdict for $500 I'm favor
of Julius Willsen. who sued the Metropoli-
ton Street-railway Company for $4,000 for
the death of his five-year-old son Law
renee. on the ground that such a verdict
was utterly inadequate. The action taken
by Justice O'Gorman is said TO be without
precedent in the New York courts. In set
ting aside the verdict the Justice said:
The verdict rendered in this case is so
grossly inadequate and indefensible IL
should not be allowed to stand. The YER
dict is perverse, and the damages arbi-
trarily and capricously fixed at such a low
figure as to shock the moral sense. The
plaintiff is in no manner responsible for
this miscarriage of justice. and to impose
costs as a condition Of setting the verdict
aside and granting a new trial is TO empha-
size the wrong to which the jury has al
ready subjected him"

Z. Baur, of Eaton, Delaware county, pro-
prietor of the Baur Windo Glass Com
Pany. was at the Columbia Club last night.
and during a discussion of the window
glass industry stated that by spring peo-
pie may look for a decided reduction in the
price OF window glass. Mr.. Baur employs
about 80 men and belongs to the combina-
ton of glass manufacturers known as the
Independents. There are three combina-
lions of window-glass makers-the trust"
the Independents and the co-operatives.
Mr.. Baur says the decreasing prices are
due to competition. Too many people are
going into the business, he says. He thinks
the only hope is for the combinations to
control the prices as against the Outside"
concerns. Jobbers are finding that they
can buy glass cheaper by patronizing the
outside establishments, and they are do
ing so.
