Audrey Enchants Richmond. +"
CBy the Associated Prcss.)

Richmond, Va, Nov 1.-THE initial
presentation of Audrey the dramati-
zation of Miss Mary Johnstons histori-
cal novel of that name, took place at the
Academy Of Music, in this city, tonight,
before an audience which literally packed
the house. Miss Johnston occupied a
box with Senator Morgan and other
friends.
The play went off with exceeding
smoothness for a first night, and was
most enthusiastically received by both
the critical and the general public. For
the NEST part, the situations are striking
and the movement rapid. The incidents
which appeal most strongly to popular
feeling have been worked into the
drama tia ton, and the consensus of
opinion is that the play is destined to
take prominent place on the boards.
Eleanor Robson, in the title role,
scored great success, and was we'll
supported throughout, the caste being
nicely balanced The dramatization is
by Harriet Ford and e. F. Bostington,
and is pronounced sympathetic and a
fine piece of work from the playwright
point of view.

Especial to the News and Observer
Asheville, n. c., Nov. 1.-THE recent
revival in the leaf tobacco market here
has been so great as to recall the old
days, when Asheville ranked with the
most fiourishing tobacco markets of the
South.
The impetus given the industry this
season is attributed to last seasons high
prices Representatives from the largest
tobacco concerns in the country have
been placed on this market. and prices
are exceptionally good. 1t is estimated
that one-half of the tobacco sold in
Asheville goes to foreign markets
Within the past week the activity has
been particularly marked and not less
than 100000 pounds of the yellow leaf
has been marketed.
For two days the breaks amounted to
80 900 pounds each day. Most of the
leaf comes from Buncombe, Madison and
Haywood. Prices are ranging from $500
to $4,000. Ordinary grades are selling
best and bring from 5000 to $500 per
hundred.

vessel to cross the bar He finally got
away. On October IS, when within forty
miles of Cape Henry the Luce met with
northeast gale, which compelled them
to run off shore for fifty miles so as to
have sea room. The storm increased in

vessel labored heavily, shipping great
/ quantities of water which started the
poop deck to leaking. The pumps were
unable to keep the vessel free and she
was run off before the sea in the hope of

the lee side of her deckload under water
/ Efforts to bring the craft head to sea
were futile. The deck-load finally was
! Thrown overheard, and the schooner
righted The men, by this time, had
been sixty hours at the pumps with only
a little bread and coffee to eat, as nearly
all the stores were lost. After the crew
had succeeded in getting the craft on an
even keel again the water was pumped
out. reefed mainsails were hoisted and
she was headed for this port.

WANTS rARIFe CONCESSIONS.
Taft Also Desires Chinese Exclusion Modified
Currency in Deplorable State.
(By the Associated Presg.l


Washington, Nov. 1.-THE report OF
the Philippine Commission will not reach
Washington for a month, but a synopsis
of the report has been cabled to the
use in his annual report This brief abb
stract will not be made public until the
Secrctary's report is published. 1t is
known, however, that the committee will
make strong recommendations regarding
the currency, which is at present in
deplorable state.
The continued depreciation of the silver
currency until it is now $3.50 for one
dollar in gold has caused a great loss
to the Philippine government during the
past six months. The commission be-
Iieves that the currency should be es-
tablishcd on a gold basis as the only
safe and sure way in which the financial
affairs of the islands can be put in
order
Governor Taft always has been in
favor of further tariff concessions to
the Philippines, and it is believed that
he will recommend that the rate, which
is now Is per cent of the Dingley rates,
should be made 20 per cent in order to
encourage commerce between the islands
and the United States Governor Taft
also has been in favor of a modification
of Chinese exclusion as applied to the
| Philippines, and believes that the COM
mission should be allowed discretion in
! the matter of admitting Chinese labor.
| There also is reason to believe that the
| commission thinks that greater latitude
! should be allowed in the matter of fran
chises, as the grant of 5000 acres to one
| concern is not sufficient to induce capital
| in large amounts to engage in develop
ments in the islands.

ATLANTIC SYMPHONY oUARTEtTE
MEET AN OVATION IN RALEIGH,
the Audience Captivated by the Spleen
did Program Rendered

1t was a delighted audience that
gathered at the Academy of Music last
night. Much had been anticipated from
the advance notices given the Atlantic
Symphony Quartette, and this was fully
realized in the splendid entertainment
given.
1t was large audience, an apprecia-
tive audience. and a delighted audience.
AS it passed from the Academy after
| the last delightful song there could be
heard on all sides nothing but words
of praise, and high praise of the even
ing's entertainment.
The vocal selections rendered by the
quartette were all received with great
applause. Again and again did the sing
ers re-appear and at no time did they
fall short of the high praise accorded
them. Their voices are strong and rich,
blending in perfect harmony, and pre-
senting a bouquet of melody that won
the audience.
The quartette is composed of Messrs.
w. p. Smith, first tenor; c. A. Coley,
second tenor; w. NJ. NOVEL;, baritone,
and ]. Sherwood Upchurch, basso. Their
selections ran the gamut from popular
to classic airs, and at all times these
were delightful. Three and four encores
to their numbers show what the au-
dience thought.
Miss Laura Belle, in her piano work
and in her banjo selections deserves much
praise She is talented and adds much
to the program, as did also Mr.. Richard
son in two appreciated violin solos.
A feature of the evening was the ar
tistic reading of Miss Georgia May Mac
MILAN. She is mistress of her art and
the spontaneous and continued applause
and encores were proof that she had cap
tivated her audience. She is a charm
ing and graceful young woman with an
impressive stage presence and her rem
dition of many varied selections last
night entitled her to rank with the very
best readers of the day Among the Sc
lections most daintily rendered were
Papa and Boy by Barber, "Since Birdie
Commenced Her Delsarte,' "Yale-Har-
ward Boat Race" by Seemore Wood:
''Pontius Plate by Riley; I'm May
by Smith, and the superb Echo and
Ferry" by Ingelow. In these her charm
ing personality and rare winsomeness
won all hearts.
The Atlantic Symphony Quartette will
disappoint none. 1t is a company that
will please and delight all, and it is
with the surety that the verdict will be
sustained wherever the Quartette gives
entertainments that we commend them
to all who enjoy the very best that
musical organization can give.
