EQUINE BALLET.
Ringing Bros. Introduce the
Most Brilliant Horse Spec
tacle Ever Seen.

An equine ballet militant-this is
what Ringing Brothers new horse
spectacle has been called. but no mere
title can give an adequate conception
of the imposing beauty and thrilling
magnitude of this great act. One nat
urally expects to see fine horses in the
circus, but these horses are the absO-
lutte perfection of breeding and selec-
ton. In the equine ballet there are
three divisions, the first composed of
Barbary horses, black and glossy as
shining ebony; the second, of purest
white Arabians, and the third compris-
ing troupe of creamy yellow Ameri-
can horses, with silvery mane and
white, fiaring tail. Each of these
horses has skilled rider. whose cos
tune is in harmony with the gorgeous
trappings of the superb animal kept
so perfectly under control. These
costumes and trappings indeed. add
immcasureably to the beauty of the
picture. The color scheme for the
proudly stepping, blooded Barbary
horses and their riders is black and
red-Drilliant black plush and silk, with
nodding plumes of itch red. touched
here and there with dazzling gold-a
combination as beautiful as an artists
dream. Blended with the pure white
OF the Arabians, whose arched necis
and fiery eyes and sensitive nostrils
betray the blue blood of their desert
lineage, Is the most delicate blue and
white flecked with red gold-a sunset
tint on the background of snow.
For the cream horses, and the famous
horsemen and horsewomen who ride
them, the costuming and trappings
is symphony of sea green and old
gold.
To the right, to the left priouetting.
waltZing, marching, now forming
noble statues and again c.rc.ing in
swiftest dance step like Shirling
streams of rainbow-color, they consti-
tute spectacle so thrilling, so class
ically harmonious. that the senses
seem intoxicated with new sense Of
beauty.
This great production will be seen
with hundreds of other features when

In Senate Over Philip
oIne Atrocities.
BOUQUETS FOR SMITH.
Are Of Doubtful Fragrance
He Is Causticaiiy Criticis-
ed and Called Hard
Names.

Washington, May 9.-Discussion OF
the Philippine bill in tho senate
Thursday, while it scarcely abated in
bitterness. took on an amusing phase.
In breezy speech Mr.. Dolliver, of
Iowa, made such a good natured. and
yet such a sarcastic arraignment OF
MIR. Carmack, of Tennessee, that SEN
ators and occupants of the thronged
galleries were convulsed with laugh
ter. While, seemingly. considerable
temper was aroused by the debate.
good feeling was shown by the active
participants in the war of words-Mr.
Dolliver and Mr.. Carmack-who cor
daily shook hands and laughed over
the encounter.
Mr.. Burton, of Kansas, concluded
the speech which he began yesterday.
He referred, as instances of atrocious
cruelty. to the battle of Wounded
Knee, to the Mountain Meadow mas
sacre and to the massacre of Union
soldiers at Fort Pillow and contended
that the action of the American troops
in the Philippines was, in most in
stances. entirely within the regula-
tions of civilized warfare.
In response to some statements
made yesterday by Mr.. Tillman. Mr..
Vest, of Missouri, delivered q force
full and effective speech.
Mr.. Carmack delivered scathing
denunciation of the conduct of mill
tary operations in the Philippines and
denounced Gen. Smith. branding him
as "sccundreP and murderer" who
had hishonored the American army
and had done nothing but butcher a
whole people.
In sarcastic response. Mr.. Dolliver,
of Iowa, scorchingly arraigned Mr.
Carmack, incidentally reading an edi-
torial from the Memphis Commercial
Appeal criticising the Tennessee sem
ator's attitude on the Philippine ques-
tion. Mr.. Carmack's reply was of
such a nature as to cause him to be
called to order for statement reflect
ing upon Mr.. Dolliver, but the Incl
dent ended in good feeling.
