FAVORITES.
]. Clarence Harvey
and Manager
Hallam.

| A New York paper, the Sunday Tele-
| graph, has the following:
After a tour around the world, J.
| Clarence Harvey appeared on Broad
way yesterday for the first time in Il
months and joyously made known the
| fact that he was enjoying the luxury
of weekly salary without performing
any labor in return. This condition is
the result of a dispute and litigation
which arose between Managers Hallam
and j. c. Williamson in far of Aus
tralia.
Harvey is one of the wanderers who,
about a year ago. started to encircle
the globe with a repertoire opera COM
pany under Hallam's management.
Two men from Honolulu financed theI
project. Hallam was willing to act asI
manager and Harvey, Josephine STAN
ton, Arthur Pell and Gertrude Norem-'
berg and about SO others were willing
to take the chance of some day again
seeing Broadway.
TROUBLE IN HONOLULU.
According to Harveys recital, his
troubles began in Honolulu. For some
reason, which is not clearly explained.
he asserts that difficulties between him.
self ond Miss Stanton, the prima donna,
arose. and he began to long for the
metropolis. The grievance was patched
up in some way and when the company
went to New Zealand both Harvey and
Miss Stanton were with it.
In New Zealand troubles broke out
afresh, and Harvey expressed willing
ness to resign. According to his story,
he did send in a two weeks notice,
which the management would not ac-
cept, as comedians are not plentiful in
New Zealand since the departure OF

Harvey was engaged to play the role
of Cyrus Gilfain.
His contract was for two years at
comfortable salary, but after an en-
gagement of a week Hallam appeared
on the scene armed with an injunction.
After a rather lively tilt in the court
Harvey was restrained from further
appearing under the Williamson man
agement. A second effort was made
to furnish employment for Harvey. but
Hallam is said to have interfered and

mindful of the public-restrainea him.

at Eton, ana then entered Christ

plunged into politics upon his issuance
from oxford, being elected TO the House
of Commons from Stamford in 1853 as
a CONSERVATIVES He continued to rep
resent the borough of Stamford in the
House OF Commons until the death OF
his father, in 1868, gave him the mar
Quisate and his seat in the House of
Lords.
In 1866 he was appointed secretary of
state for India by the Earl of Derby,
He resigned the post the next year. as
he did not agree with the administra-
tion, which proposed the enlargement
of the electoral franchise, a reform
which was carried out in the bill of
1861 In 1865 he was elected chancellor
of the University of Oxford, to succeed
the earl of Derby. In 1874 he was made
Indian secretary, and administered the
office with ability and distinction.
1t was in 1878 that his first great
diplomatic triumph was achieved AS
the colleague of the great Disraeli he
attended the congress of Berlin. and the
two English statesmen succeeded in OBJ
tanning the consent of Russia to re-
vision OF the treaty of San Stefauo,
which the northern empire had torn

Another war was thus averted, and
when Beaconsiield and Salisbury re-
turned to England they were greeted
with the cry of Peace with honor" In
1878 Salisbury was made a knight of the
Order of the Garter and secretary Of
foreign affairs.

Lord Salisbury is the most unapproach-

lady with a petition insisted on nre-
senting herself to him. He tried tc
freeze her, but in vain. She refused to

accompany him in the carriage to her
residence, as he had no time to wait.
