UThe ClimberS.O

"The Climbers" new and original comedy
by Clyde Fitch, which, as produced last season at
the Biiou theatcr, New York, proved to be the
sensational success of the theatrical year, total
ling Il run OF 200 nights, will be seen for the
first time here at the Lyceum on Saturday after
noon and ns.ht.
The play owes its success to the perfection
Of production, to the brilliant collection Of play
ers, and to the careful attention to detail in all
matters. The story is one of sorrow, devotion
and temptation. At the time OF her fathers
death, Mrs. Sterling, the leading feminine figure
OF the play, learns that her husband is connected
with dishonest money dealings. She makes heroic
efforts to save him, assisted by her husbands
friend, Warden. Love develops between Mrs.
Sterling and the latter, but is mastered Serious
as its theme would appear the play contains
many illuminating bits OF clever comedy, fur
nished by the climbing tactics Of an element
dcsirous of fashionable distinction. The dressing
of the women throughout the play is notable
and the scenic equipment gives the proper idea
OF luxurious good TASTE

LAST WORD IN SCALEy'S CONTEST.
PRESIDENTS DECISION.
Neither Of the AdmlraIe In Command

tain's Battle.

President Roosevelt made public
Wednesday his decision in the Schley
case. It takes issue with the opin.
ion expressed by Admiral Dewey that
Rear Admiral Schloy is entitled to
the credit of the victory Of Santiago.
The President holds that so far as the
battle of Santiago Is concerned
neither Rear Admiral Sampson nor
Rear Admiral Schley actually exer.
cised any command Technically.
Sampson commanded the fleet and
Schley the western division. II was.
however, captains fight. Admiral

entitled-as is Captain Cook--to the
credit of what the Brooklyn did in the
fight. On the whole, he says. she
did WE'LL but the loop seriously mar
red the Brooklyn's otherwise excel
lent record, being. In fact, the one
grave mistake made by any American
ship that day. The President as.
serts that the court did substantial
justice. but he again differs with Ad.
miral Dewey on the effectiveness of
the blockade at Santiago Dewey
said the blockade was effective: the
President says It was not. He ap.
proved generally of the findings of the
court. The points made by Presi.
dent Roosevelt are: The unanimous
decision of the court of inquiry. crit.
icising Schley, is indorsed. The mi.
nority findings of Admiral Dewey in
Schley's favor are disagreed to. Most
of the acts for which the court cen.
sured Schley were condoned by Adj
mlral Sampson himself. Neither
Schley nor Sampson exercised com
mand at the battle of Santiago. It
was captains battle. During the
battle both commanders are entitled
to crcdt for what was done by their
respective ships. The Brooklyn's
loop" was the only serious mistake
committed by the American fleet dur.
Ing tho battle. All other maneuvers
OF the Brooklyn during the fight merit
praise. President Mckinley and the
court of claims did substantial justice
to both admirals. The result of the
inquiry calls for no action, and the
controversy should be closed.

II did not think Rice was living too
LONG for our own welfare. He thought
II would be a good thing If we would
put him out of the way. He said If

that DR.. Curry drew the line there.
He would do anything that was wanted
