mich, which was solemnized at st. Pat

he Is preparing for the diplomatic SER

fed, may appoint him to the embassy
here. The ceremony tdok place before
the high altar, but was not followed

1.-THE CATTLE KING"
Another Wallick Melodrama Sends
Thrills Among Academy Patrons.


Royalty reigns at the Academy of Mu-
sic this week, and yesterday 1.-The Bandit
King was deposcd by ''The Cattle
King" title which by rights belongs to
two separate characters in the play.
From the manifestations of the .udi-
ence 1t would seem that the latter D zee
has proved as great a success az Its
predecessor at the Academy. Certainly
there was no lack of enthusiasm at the
afternoon performance yesterday, when
the many thrilling scenes kept the au-
diep.e In a constant state Of expectancy
ard excitement.
The play is full OF dramatic climaxes,
one Of them being wedding on horse
back and the escape Of the lovers on
their steeds. hotly pursued by the villain
and his accomplice.
John ]. Farrell plays the American
cattle king with the dash, manliness and
spirit which characterized his interpre-
tation OF 10 Howard in the earlier play
His work in the third act is particu-
larly we'll done, and he contributes some
excellent comedy as WELL

king. is villain of the double-dyed
type, always ready TO cheat, murder.
and do all sorts Of unpleasant things on
the stage. He is continually greeted by
hisses-a proof that he comes up to the
expectations of the audience.
W. ]. Sully as Barney Ryan. Tony
West as blase English youth. and
Homer Mullaney as Bill Mexico, a sue
cessful politician, score individual hits.
One cf the most delightful features
of the performance Is Miss Marie Pettes'
work as Kate, the heroine. Miss Pettes
is disnified, refined and very attractive.
She has a charming personality and a
sympathetic voice.
Jeanette Connor plays the heavy role,
Carlotta Benemeles, in good style. and
the other feminine roles are well cared
for.

GEN. RANDALL MAKES
REPORT ON ALASKA
Saloon Problem Only One to
Worry Authorities.

The War Department yesterday made
public the annual report OF Brig. Gen.
George NJ. Randall, commanding the
military department OF the Columbia,
! which embraces Alaska.
General Randall reports that the con
ditions prevailing in Alaska are now
very satisfactory. The general appear
ance and behavior of the officers and
men stationed there are excellent, al
though the camps are in many cases
surrounded by saloons and demoralizing
| influences. OF the Trans Alaskan Mill
tary Road General Randall recommends
as follows:
"a further expenditure at present
upon the military road, except to main
tain it in repair for time. at least
until the military telegraph line now
being constructed along the same route
is completed. does not seem to me ad-
visable. The region is no longer
unknown; the line of the telegraph will
be guide to travellers, and the stations
can afford them shelter in cases Of sick
ness and distress"
Military Needs.
OF Alaska in general the report says:
1.-The military needs of the country do
not justify the expenditure which would
be required to build wagon highway
across the Territory, nor are there any
other reasons to warrant, In my opinion,
such an outlay. The interior is unques-
tionably rich in copper and gold de-
pcsits, but In going further than 1t has
already the Government would it seems
be departing from It's established policy
in the past.
'In the event, however. of Congress
approving such work and making the
necessary appropriation therefor, such
appropriation should be included.
think, in the sundry civil bill. instead OF
being charged against the army. and its
further supervision would properly come
under the engineer corps"
II recommend legislation enabling
officers on the active list to make de-
posits from their pay with the paymas-
Ter ir a manner similar to that now au-
thorized for enlisted men.
