The Castle Square Opera company
has scored another triumph this week
at the Studebaker theatre, Chicago.
where the talented singers of this adj
mirable organization are presenting
on magnificent scale Gilbert & Sui
Iivan's already popular comic opera,
The Mikado." The leap from heavy
to light opera has proved a popular
one and large audiences have been
fiocking to the Studebaker all week.
The production itself is a most com
menJlable one and shows more forci-
bly, than anything else during the
present engagement that the versatil-
ity of Mr.. Savage's Singers is unlim-
tied. The Castle Square company has
arrived at the going away period of
its Chicago engagement. Next week
will be the last and the occasion will
be signalized by the presentation of
two of the most popular operas in the
repertory. Martha will be sung on
Monday. Thursday and Saturday
nights and at the Wednesday matinee
while 'Lohengrin" viii be given Tues
day, Wednesday and Friday nights
and Saturday matinee. The engage
ment will terminate Jan. "a, and the
following Monday night, Jan. 26,
George Ade's new musical comedy.
Peggy from Paris for which Viii
liam Lorraine. of 'Salome" and ga
mona" fame, has written the music,
will be brought forward at the Stude-
baker by Henry w. Savage. This pro-
duction will he quite the most preten-
tious one in Mr.. Savage's long line of
light opera successes. Mr.. AIDES book
deals exclusively with life in the mid
die west, the whole action of the
piece taking place in Illinois. The
first scene shows the parlor of the
Commercial hotel in Hickory Creek
during the progress of an old time
party. and for an opening chorus the
author has utilized in "a unique way
the time-honored subject, 1.-The oys-
ter stew The costumes seen in this
scene will be the prevailing styles of
80 or 60 years ago. The musical COM
edy is in two acts of two scenes and
Mr.. Savage has lavished money on the
production. The scenery and cos
tunes are as elaborate and gorgeous
as money literally expended can pro-
cure. and something decidedly grand
may be expected when Peggy" makes
her debut at Chicago's Michigan ave
nue. home of light opera.

Side of the Controversy.

Philadelphia, Jan. 7.-After a recess

strike commission resumed its work
yesterday of hearing the no.nunion
mems side of the controversy in the
great industrial war in the anthracite
coal regions during the past year. The
entire day was taken up in hearing the
stories of intimidation, boycotting and
personal violence, the commission
learned nothing new the evidence being
mostly cumulative.
Philadelphia, Jan. "a clash be-
tween President Mitchell, of the
Miners union, and Chairman Gray, of
the coal strike commission, was the
feature of yesterdays hearing. Ex-
ception was taken by President
Mitchell to a remark make by Chair
man Gray that he would like to see
the Miners union come up out of the
mire that is around the baser part of
it into the sunlight. Mr.. Gray re-
piled that he did not wish to indict
the organization, but hoped it would
disentangle itself entirely from the
violence and lawlessness committed
during the strike.

they presented about $50 witnesses,

The Philippine Commission Urges

WANTS BANKS OF ISSUE ESTABLISHED.
Admission of Limited Number OF
Chinese Skilled Laborers Is Rec
ommended-I Is Ended
and People Are Enjoying Civil
Government.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The Philip
pine commission in it's annual re-
port made public here urges congress
to establish a gold standard in the
islands at once and to authorize the
establishment of banks empowered to
issue circulating notes.
The commissions report is ac-
companied by separate report by
Gov. Taft, who reviews the results
accomplished by the civil administra-
ton of the islands during the fiscal
year 1902.
recommendations.
The report of the commission con-
cludes with the following recommend
atoms:
The establishment of a gold stand
ard in the islands, and of banking cor
porations empowered to issue circulat-
ing bank notes under proper safe
guards.
The reduction of at least Is per cent.
of the Dingley rates of duty upon
goods imported into the United States
from the Philippines.
An amendment of the Philippine act
so that the limit upon lands which may
be sold or be held by individuals or cor
porations from the public domain shall
be increased to $4,000 acres, or in the
alternative so that the government
shall be given the power to lease for
60 years upon competitive bidding
tracts from the public land aggregat-
ing in any individual or corporate
lessee not more than 10000. 1t says
this legislation is necessary to the de-
velopment CT the islands, and that as
the government owns 65,000,000 out of
100000 acres in the archipelago,
there is no danger of concentration OF
ownership in individuals or corpora
lions.
Chinese Labor Needed.
That an amendment be made to the
Chinese exclusion act giving power to
the government by law to admit fixed
and limited number of Cinnamon into
the Philippine islands, who are certi-
fed to be skilled laborers, on the bond
of the employer that for every Chinese
skilled laborer employed he will en-
ploy Filipino apprentice, and that
he will return the Chinese skilled labor
er thus introduced within five years
after his admission to the country.
Insurrection Over.
Referring to conditions in the islands
the commission report says:
''The insurrection as an organized
attempt to subvert the authority of
| the United States in these islands is
entirely at an end, and the whole of
the Christian Filipino population, with
the exception of few thousand peo-
pie in the Moro country in isolated
towns, are enjoying civil government.
American Soldiers Idle.
Since the civil government was COM
pletely established in the Philippine
provinces throughout the archipelago
in July of last year, the governor says,
an American soldier has not been
called on once to fire gun, the coun-
try having been policed by the constab-
ulary, a force of 5000 or 5000 men.
Gov. Taft says the figures show that
for the year ended June 80, 1902, the
imports, exclusive of quartermaster's
stores, of all goods, were SAL 100000,
while the exports were about $27 ,000,-
