MARINE FORCE FOR ISTHMUS

WARRINGTON, Sept. 2O.-secretary
Moody has finally decided TO augment the
limited States naval forces on the isthmus
by the addition Of 600 marines II Com
mander McLean's advices indicate that
they are needed. He has given orders to
Commander Pnlsbury of the United States
steamship Prairie, now at Boston, TO pro-
coed with his ship to Norfolk. At that
noint 500 marines will be gathered ready
10 take ship when Secretary Moody's ad-
vices indicate the necessity for their pres
ence on the isthmus.
Panther should arrive at Colon within
a day or two with $50 marines aboard, so
that with Prairie's men and the marines
on Cincinnati, who are already ashore at
Colon. the United States will have what
is regarded as an ample force to carry
out its treaty obligations Of maintaining
free trafnc across the isthmus.
Orders were also sent forward today 10
San Francisco, now at Norfolk, to coal and
provision and proceed TO San Juan, Porto
Rico, there to await any emergency which
may arise. There is now only one war
ship in Venezuelan waters, the little gun
boat Marietta, and Montgomery is due 10

proceed to San Juan, TO be a station ship
1t is expected that San Francisco will

WASHINGTON. Sept. 20. - Secretary
Moody today sent the following cablegram
to Commander H. G. Mclean:
WASHINGTON Sept. 20, 19O2.-Cincinnati,
Colon: United States guarantee perlect
neutrality of isthmus and that a free tran
sit from sea to sea be not interrupted OF
embarrassed. United States of COLOMBIA
guaranteed right of way for transit across
isthmus open and free to government ana
citizens OF United States and their prop
erty. Any transportation of troops when
might contravene these provisions OF treaty
should not be sanctioned by you, nor should
use of road be permitted which might con-
vert the line of transit into the theater OF
hostility. Any transportation OF govern
ment troops not In violation or treaty anu
which would not endanger transit or pro
woEe hostilities may not be Objectionable.
The department must rely on your Juds-
ment 10 decide such questions, as con-
ditions may change from day to DAY. Con-
suit department freely when in doubt.
It was stated at the Navy department thai
nothing has developed in the isthmian
situation up to this time to make neces-
sary the presence Of the additional 500 ma
rines who are to be assembled at Norfolk,
but the state Of affairs along the railroad
ia regarded as making advisable the prepa-
ration Of the achievements for immediate
dispatch to the scene. Secretary Moody
and Acting Secretary Of State Adee had a
long conference today in regard to the
sitpation on the isthmus.

"Corianton" is undoubtedly written for a
purpose, put on the stage for a purpose, and
played with such force and direction that lite
purpose cannot be mistaken by anyone. 1t
glorlhes the theme OF the play, but that
theme Is one to which all thinking persons
must pay respectful tribute. "Corianton"
Is a missionary play in a broad sense.
While 1t may be true, as alleged In some
quarters, that the Mormon church has taken
this unique meAod OF prcselyting. yet II Is
only by general inference that the object IN
this direction Is even limited at. The allie
CORY Of the play Is very apparent from the
beginning. It exalts true religion and
makes a hero of a man whose feet are beset
by the pitfalls of sin, who Is lured by the
wiles Of the Goddess from the path Of duty,
but who finally triumphs over all OF these,
and. even as did Christian in John Bunyan's
immortal allegory finally reached the
heavenly city. so does Corianton finally
reach his sphere Of usefulness, wherein
his God given qualities as a preacher may
be made Of service to his fellow men. In
working out this thought the author has
surrounded the hero with all the aooes-
series necessary to the dramatic embellish-
ment of a very simply story. No other
play now before the people has so deep a
religious atmosphere nor does any other
readily recalled so thoroughly and con-
sistently exalt virtue or present so com.
pletely the weaknesses and vanities Of q
sinful life. ATtistically the play lie ex.
cellently produced, though. in the very ma.
ture OF things, both the author and the
stage director have been compelled to TAX,

SECRETARY HAY HAS FACTS
Armed with Ample Evidence Before
He Made Protest I'm Favor
of the Jews.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-In view OF the
disposition shown In some quarters in Eu-
rope to question the propriety of the in
reference Of the United States in behalf
OF the Roumanian Jews, and having In
mind q statement from the Roumanian au-
thorities to the effect that these jews had
declined agricultural work, 1t may be of
interest to note the fact that the State
department was particularly careful TO
verify all the complaints that had reached
here from various sources respecting the
harshness Of Roumanian laws.
While the treaty Of Berlin expressly for
bade discrimination against any person in
me Balkan states on account Of religion,
the Roumanian government sought 10
evade the clerical revision by decreeing
that the 400. 1000 Jews living In the coun-
try were not citizens. and consequently
that their protection was not contem-
plated by the treaty.
Therefore, without naming the Jews as
the direct object Of hostile legislation. the
Roumanian government has proceeded to
enact certain laws which the State depart
ment regarded as IN undoubted violation
OF the spirit OF the treaty. For instance,
one law provided that no Jew should live
in the agricultural sections Of the coun-
try. Another prohibited Jews from en-
saging in agricultural labor. Another for
babe the Jews to own farm lands. Finally
a Law declared that anyone who employed
q Jew should also employ no less than two
Roumanians. and the restriction was pro-
hibittve Of Jewish labor in the small es-
Establishments.
Altogether the working OF these laws. az
recited in Secretary Hays note. was to de-
priVe the Jews in Roumania Of nearly ali
opportunity to earn an honest living and
ind honorable employment. These facts
will doubtless be enlarged upon II the Rou-
mAnian government undertakes to impeaeb
the statements contained In the Jewish
note,

"Corianton" did not receive the support
from the Omaha people to which it's merit
as a play entitled Il. This Is TO be re-
GREETED. as much for the sake OF the city
as for the managers who brought this
splendid production here. In justice 10
Omaha It should be said that the play came
practically unannounced and during its
stay in the city was compelled to meet the
competition OF the circus and the closing
concerts Of the band season, with other
side attractions. which prevented a great
many from attending the Boyd. Those who
did see the play are lavish in their praise
OF II. For years the west has been looked
upon as the home Of the barbarian. When
Maude Adams first went to New York from
Salt Lake City and was announced as a
star there was much elevation Of eyebrows
and looking askance at this adventurous
young person by the wise ones Of Gotham,
who could hardly believe that anyone
should have the temerity to venture into
the sacred realms of the east through the
back yard gate, but Miss Adams success
convinced these people that some good
might come out OF Nazareth. Others have
followed from the west and by much effort
succeeded in obtaining New York endorse
ment. Mr.. Bean has ventured In a new
field, however. Having convinced the
great ones of the east that we are capable
of producing actors in the west It now
becomes incumbent to convince these skep-
tical persons that the west can produce
an author and that a play OF merit and
force can be written outside Of the shadow
OF the skyscrapers that dot Manhattan
island. 1t is, OF course. too uncertain to
venture a prediction as to the reception
this piece will secure in the east, but It
to partafn that Wbprayar art IA FncORniZad
or ability is given an opportunity to pre-
sent itself fairly the play OF "Corianton'
will be a success.
