John L. Sullivan is once n7ore an
actor. This time he is------n an Uncle
Toms Cabin" company. in which he
plays the part of "Simon Legree," the
villain. 1t is risking nothing to say
that John will make villainous viii
lain, but he will swell the box Office
receipts just the same. One of the
funniest things ever put on the stage,
by the way, was John L. Sullivan in a
love scene. His voice was about as
soft and sentimental as a circular saw
going through a deal board and his
fondling of the girl kept the audience
in constant fear that there would be
bones broken.

Some time ago it was arranged that
Bernhardt and Adams should tour the
United States in Romeo and Juliet in

that she cannot play Romeo" in Eng

ans has declared that she is ready to
undertake to play her part in French
who's afraid?" asked the spunky
American girl in announcing her decis-

reason TO be afraid that the audiences

1t has been definitely determined that
a chair of Chinese is to be established
at Columbia University. A fund of
100000 has been given for the chair,
by Gen. w. H. Carpenter. A pecu-
liarity in the letter of donation is the
statement that the money was sawed
from tobacco and whisky" Gen. Car
pentier says the meaning of the ex-
preston is that he was able to save
the money by total abstinence from
tobacco and strong drink, not that it
had been made by commerce in those
articles. 1t is proposed, by means of
the chair of Chinese, not merely 10
study the Chinese language, but also
the literature and religion of the Chi
nese and the customs of the people.

lutions Denouncing Yellow

Colonel Fred Taylor Post, G. A. t.,
of Philadelphia, has adopted resolu-
tionS which set forth:
THE comrades of Colonel Fred Tay-
lor Post, No. 19, Grand Army of the
Republic, record the fact that we deep
ly deplore and detest all such teach
ings and utterances that lead weak
minded and misguided creatures to
deeds OF assassination, and we stand
pledged to help, aid and assist lawful
authority, to the fullest extent of our
power, in putting a summary ending
to such reasonable utterances, wheth-
er made by Anarchists, Nihilists, So
cialists, political leaders or editors of
vicious and dangerous papers and mag
aZines.
we also enter upon record that we
deplore and denounce the publication
of the offensive and diaholical car.
toons that appear in the most con-
splcuous places in sensational and
unstsupulous newspapers, inflaming
the minds of men and women to das-
tardly thoughts and deeds, and, in the
interest of American law, order, peace,
government and decency, we recon-
mend the passage of the severest laws
against all such pernicious journalism.
"And we also enter upon record our
approval of the action of the mayor of
Philadelphia and his director of public
safety in resolutely prohibiting quite
recently the Anarchistic agitator, EN-
ma Goldman from publicly promulgat-
ing in this city her Infamous doctrines
of treason to the state and nation
doctrines which lead to the assassina-
tion of those high in authority, and
for no other reason than that they
are the legally chosen representatives
of law, order, peace and government"

YELLOW JOURNALISM
VERSUS
REPUBllCANlSM,

We are amused, rather than con.
cerned, by the declarations of the late
Democratic state convention, for we
readily recognize, as all people must
the cooperation of certain newspapers
in their preparation. which papers
failing in their attempt to disrupt the
Republican party, have crawled under
the tents of the Democracy with their
stale and false charges and succeeded
in having them adopted as a Demo.
cratic platform. The platform of the
late Democratic state convention will
be found in the files of the so-called
yellow journals during the past few
months.
We believe in surrounding the press
with every constitutional guarantee
vouchsafed to it since the foundation
of our government, but it is a public
menace that these constitutional guar
antees should be 80 misused as to
have permitted many of our newspa-
pers to have degenerated into a yell
low journalism such as is detrimental
to any state or country.

The advertiser is permitted to dictate
their policy, and at his behest these

does not mean that the navy depart
ment has concluded the presentation
of it's side of the case. Mr.. Doyle was
called by the department, but as it
also had been the purpose of Admiral
Schley to summon him, advantage was
taken of his presence on the stand to
question him as an original witness
for "the applicant" He was under ex.
animation by Mr.. Rayner in the inter.
est Of the admiral when the court ad.
journed for the day.
Before undergoing examination at
Mr.. Rayner's hands Lieutenant Doyle,
at Captain Lemly's request, explained
his part in the battle of July and his
original entry in the ships log con-
cerning the famous loop and his alter
alton of that entry because he subse.
quently discovered that his first entry
had been erroneous.
There was a long examination of
Commodore Sharp at the afternoon
session regarding the battle notes of
the Vixen, written by Lieutenant Har.
low. The copy of the notes printed
aboard the Brooklyn dieffred from the
notes attached to Sharp's official re-
port to Sampson. The printed copy
was more favorable to the Brooklyn.
1t has been claimed by Schley's
friends that the notes as printed on
the Brooklyn were correct. and that
the notes attached to Sharp's report
had been garbled by the navy depart
ment. Sharp testified, however that
the changes were made by Harlow on
the Vixen
On Tuesday the court made good
headway, concluding with Ad.
miral Evans and hearing three new
witnesses, although the testimony of
one of them was not concluded when
miral Evans testimony was along the
same general lines as was his state
ment of the day before, but some of
the points were presented in greater
detail in response to questions by Mr.
Raynor. The new witnesses were
Captain Sigsbee, who commanded the
scout st. Paul during the Santiago
newspaper correspondent, who was on
the Texas during the battle of July
8, and Chief Yeoman Gustave E. Beck.
er. who was a clerk to Admiral Samp
son during the war.
At the inception of Admiral Evans
testimony Mr.. Rayner asked: Did
you have a conversation with Com
modore Schley on July a, some time
during the morning between 8 and ~
o'clock, on his flagship at Santiago,
in the course of which you used Ian
guage as follows: Did you know that
Jack Philip started to run away at the
beginning of the battle? and to which
Commodore Schley replied: You are
mistaken about that, Evans; | saw
nothing of the kind, The Brooklyn
made turn, and you must see the
tactical situation that made it neces-
sary?"
THAT ever intimated that Captain
Philip attempted to run away is pre-
poSterous on the face o. it,, replied
Admiral Evans.
Mr.. Dieuade, the newspaper man
was then called to the stand. He said
when he first noticed the Brooklyn she
was going seaward. When she passed
the Texas he said he made note of
it which read: 1T was Brooklyn; close
shave" The witness seemed to have
heard Captain Philip give several ord
ers. but not the one to back the en-.
gines.
You seem to have heard every
thing else," said Admiral Dewey.

SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
ase Involving Responsibility O
Transportation Companies.

An interesting case involving the respon-
siblity of local transportation companies
was heard before Justice of the Peace
Church yesterday. 1t was the suit of Mr.
Alex B. Legare against the Washington
Electric Vehicle and Transportation Com
pany to recover damages for the value of
horse and for personal injuries resulting
from the alleged carelessness of an en-
ploye of the company in the operation OF
one of its vehicles on the public streets.
Mr.. Arthur Peter represented the plaintiff
and Messrs. Hamilton, Colbert and Newton
the defendant
1t appeared from the testimony intro
duced that while Mr.. Legare was riding
horseback on Connecticut avenue near K
street March 10 last an electric vehicle
owned by the defendant company ran into
the animal from the rear and threw the
rider from his seat with considerable vio-
fence. Rider and horse were considerably
shaken up and injured. The horse was a
valuable animal and it was represented
that its value was much reduced as a re-
suit of the collision An effort was made
by the defendant to prove that the horse
was prancfng and cavorting and backed
INTO the vehicle, but the magistrate held
that the preponderance of evidence ap-
peared to place the blame for the collision
on the man operating the vehicle. There
was diversity of evidence with regard to
the speed of the automobile cab. the plain
tifs witnesses giving it at twelve miles
an hour and the operator saying it did not
for the plaintiff to the full amount of his
claim.
