walker whiteside I'm "A New Play.

Walker Whiteside and his company. who
are to give four performances Of a new
play. Robert of Sicily" at English's Opera
House. beginning tonight, arrived yester-
day tired after an unusually hard task.
They acted the play for the first time pub
licly at Dayton, o.. last Friday night. On
Thursday night Miss Ethel Barrymore's
company had the stage of Dayton's theater
and did not vacate it until midnight. Then
Mr.. Whiteside's company took possession
and rehearsed their new play until s o'clock
Friday morning. They went to their hotel
and slept until 2 o'clock in the afternoon,
wheI another rehearsal was called. That
lasted until s o'clock. They gave a per-
Torrance at night and two performances
on Saturday. Then came the journey TO
Indianapolis.
THE result of our hard work." said Mr..
whiteside last night. lis that the play runs
smoothly, and | think that our audiences
here will find no defect of newness in 1t.
1t is my opinion that Miss FurniSs has
written a great drama. It's time is the ff-
teenth century and it's atmosphere Is mys-
tic The people of Dayton liked it. There
were nineteen curtain calls at the first per-
Torrance. The part of King Robert is the
heaviest / ever have played. 1t is full of
deep emotion"

act S~hakSpearian roles again for the reason
that the pubic shows little desire to see
Shakespeare acted. His managers, the
Messrs. Shipman. of New York, expect him
to make a long stride in public favor this
season. They have furnished "Rober of
Sicily" with an elaborate scenic dress and
with incidental music written by Julian Ed
wards, a prominent composer of light opera.
They also engaged Max Freeman, one of
the best of the American stage managers,
to superintend the production. Mr.. Free
man has been rehearsing the company for
a considerable time, and he expresses en-
thusiasm about the play.
The author of Robe of Sicily" Grace
Livingston Furniss, took the theme from
one of Longfellow's Tales of a Wayside
Inn" She with the late Abby Sage Rich
ardson wrote "A Colonial Girl and drama
tized Egerton Castles The Pride of Jennf-
CO." She also is a frequent contributor to
the magazines. Mr.. Whiteside has been
acting in this city for six consecutive sea-
sons and has a wide circle of admirers here
who will wish him success in this the most
ambitious effort of his career. He is
studious and eager to do worthy things.

one would think that he had previous
experience enough Of trouble with
Beers at Vlakfontein to guard that
place carefully and in sufficient force
to protect its garrison from successful
assault, but il seems otherwise. for
Lord Kitchener is sorrowfully COMPEL
ed to report an attack upon the station
and the capture Of a company Of
mounted infantry and two guns by
Bothas forces. Coming as it does on
the heels Of the disaster two or three
days ago. i'm which one hundred and
fifty British soldiers fell into the hands
Of the enemy. this incident cannot fail
to exert a depressing influence in the
United Kingdom.
It seems already to have broken the
back of the English press patience with
the Government. and the editors of
several leading London daiIies are ask
ing the authorities whether il would
not be better to abandon the recent war
policy in South Africa, and begin again
to conduct hostilities with cavalry. ar
tillery. and mounted infantry. rather
than with threats and proclamatons.
The fiction. which was 10 have been

Kitchener said so. has been rudely over

British public is awake at last to the
fact that the struggle is going on as
desperately as ever, and that Botha's
operations are on . scale considera bly,

John Bull has the uncomfortable con
sciousness that the drain upon his re-

The Annrchists Who Murder.

II is worthy Of note that the anarch-
lists who actually murder Presidents
and Kings are neither the leaders and
preachers Of the sect nor persons in
greatly distressed conditions Of life,
whose suferings might be invoked as a
sort Of excuse for crime. The leaders
are usually shrewd enough not 70 Kill
anybody themselves, and people who
are suffering for the necessaries Of lie
seek some other method Of obtaining re-
lief. The numbering anarchist is. as a
rule. some person not overstrOng Of in
teIlect in the first place. whose mind
has been warped and perverted by false
teachings.
Some Of the worlds leading anarch-
lists are now bUsiIy explaining that they
do not believe in numbering executives
in a free country like this. Their doc
trine, though, does not make the excep-
ton. II il did, the creed would still be
an execrable one. but as it is, 1t is sim
ply horrible beyond expression. AS a
result of its propagation, the most am
liable of Presidents, voluntarily chosen
by the cOuntry's electorate, is no safer
than the cruel despot The Empress
Elizabeth and King Humbert were both
slain without a motive that is apprecia-
bic 10 the ordinary mind The Austrian
Empress exercised no real power what
ever, while Italy's King was monarch
whose authority was strictly limited
It was impossible for anything TO be
gained by killing either.
The assassin OF Mr. Mckinley does
not pretend 10 have had a grievance. He
objected To nothing in particular or in
general that the President had done.
He had been able to make a good living
FOR himself. Indeed. for some time he
had actually lived without working,
which is more than most people can
do The murder was committed mere

in any government. however free ana

formed upon the basis Of anarchist
teachings. The most fertile mind put

Everything indicates that the country
will at once resume its normal business
swing. The melancholy death Of the
late President held matters in abey-
ance for time. and il is perhaps well
that il was 50. There was no good rea-
son why there should have been the
slightest uneasiness in commercial and
financial circles. but sometimes feelings
exist there and things happen for
which there is no good reason. For a
day or two after Mr. Mckinley was
shot Wall Street was a little shaky.
and not much in the way Of unfavor-
able stimulus would have made the
situation a serious one. But it would
have come through the speculative eIe-
ment chiefly Those whose gains de

and "A panic once started no one can
measure its extent or the harm il may
do.
The danger at such times lies in the
credit which is employed In modern
business, particularly in speculative
ventures. A very large proportion Of
the transactions are carried on with
but very small percentage Of money.
The rise Of stocks is generally a matter

in language which shows how strongly

with the desirability of close and

deprecates the idea that the British
Government should assume that the

the Importance Of having the canal
constructed. and by friendly power.
The Spectator concludes as follows:

TAMMANY MEN MENTIONED.
George Il. Mcclellan Leading May
mrnIIN CnmmiLnLe.

NEW YORK. Sept. -R,pre=eutative
George u. Mcclellan is expected TO return
today from Europe where he has been
since early summer and with his coming
political and personal friends in Tamma-
ny Han are 20 make concerted move
mtut 20 have him nominated for mayor
IL Is said that Ne. NcCIeIaa's long alb
scucc from the country was part OF plan
TO prevent certain of his admirers FROM
making him a summer candidate. His
name has been mentioned for tho place
only iu confidential whispers and now his
friends believe that his chances OF win
ming tee nomination are rather better
than those Of any other man The young
Representative has long been a personal
favoute OF Richard Croker and no man
is more popular with the rank and file Of
Iammauy.
Most OF the men who suggest to Mr.
Croker the names Of candidates for nom
ination for office have already handed in
their states. According TO information
from the Democratic Club. these names
are on the list for the nomination for
mayor: George b. Mcclellan. Lewis Nix
on, Morgan J. O'BTien. Leonard A Gel
gerich, and Robert A Van Wyck
The two first named are favor
ties In the guessing Of the Tam
many men and the general i'm
preston is that the candidates Will
be taken from this list of five names.
Lewis Nixon is now the most taIked-of
man for the place, but il nearly always
happens in Tammany politics that the
man who receives most mention for an
office rarely receives the nomination
II appears that the name Of Comptroller
CO.er is not yet on any Of the states that
have been handed 70 Mr.. Croker. II is
NOS expected that the Tammauy leader
will consider for moment the name OF
the comptroller unless urged to do so by
Hugh Mclaughlin. leader Of the Kings

Structure Said to Have Been Found

ing the startling report OF the experts
employed By District Attorney PhiIbiu.
that the margin Of safety I'm the Brook
lyn Bridge is so small that immediate
repairs are needed 20 give II increased
strength people continue TO cross it every
day by the tens Of thousands. Familiar
ity breeds contempt They have crossed
the bridge so many times that they can
not persuade themselves 10 believe there
is any danger. Moreover. the Bridge
Commissioner and the Bridge Engineer
scoH at tho district attorneys experts
and say there is no ground whatever for
any alarm
There is no other way OF crossing the
river. except by the s'ow-goiuE ferries
and no steps are being taken to Increase
the facilities OF the ferries and their
trolley connections. and thus divert some
of the bridge traffic that way.
Twenty years ago an East River ware
houseman named Miller used to assert
almost daily. IN the Board OF Trade. that
the East River Bridge would some day
go down in an awful crash. He said that
D. Lesseps. the canal builder after
visit 70 the bridge, shook his head grave
" over the question OF its permanent
safety. But Miller was prejudiced. His
warehouse business was ruined by the
bridge Yet In a few short years the
safety Of tho structure is called in Gues-
ton by two great experts Even now few
VIII believe that there is any real ground
for alarm So there is none. in an imme-
diate sense But il is evident that any
Increase in traffic without increase in
strength might cause a disaster.
The report OF the experts is said to be
much more serious than the district at
t"ruoy admits II is sail that they find
that only a few more tons Of weight
would make the bridge unsafe. and that
there are several danger points in the
structure Il is alleged that rust has eat

but surely those responsible for its man
agemcut should take imm, diate action.
