Few plays of recent years have been
as successful as Under Southern Skies
which will be seen here for the first time
AZ the New Crawford on Sunday night
This play is described as the most or
ieinaI diverting and unhackneyed play
of southern life ever written. The story
of Under Southern Skies" is an alb
sorbing one and it is told with all the
fascination that has made the same
authors play of Way Down East so
successful Many even prefer Under
Southern Skies for its spirit of gayety,
its romance and beauty are more allur-
ing than the homelier attributes of
WAY Down East The story of I'm
der Southern Skies is woven about an
aristocratic family of the south and
their high born friends These charac-
tiers are all types of southern people
and display their chivalry. their hot
headedness, and their spirit of lavish,
unstudied hospitality. The darby ser
wants furnish their own characteristic

friends he suddenly forgot to take care
of them and instead began to spread the
political favors at his command among
those who had opposed him. Curtis has
been given credit for having a great deal
of political sagacity. but the manner in
which he permitted himself to be worked
out of this patronage through being
made to believe that in return he would
have certain support in his senatorial as
pirations. which he ought TO have known
better than to expect, has changed the
minds OF a great many who had such
exalted opinions of his political judgment.

MUST PAY FOR USE OF STREET.
Counsel Duval Submits Opinion Rela
tive to Railway Liability.

Corporation Counsel Duvall today sub
mitted to the Commissioners an opinion
relative to the liability of the Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington Railroad Com
pany to pay an annual rental of So 500 for
the occupation of certain parts of Canal
street between South Capitol and I'd streets
southeast. Mr.. Duvall holds that the Dis
trict should not accede to the proposition
that the railroad company is not obligated
to pay the rent reserved under the agree
ment entered into between the District and
the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Com
pany under date Of September 8, 1888.
The matter was referred to the corpora.
ton counsel at the request of Auditor Gar
rison. who stated that the railroad COM
pany declined to pay the rental mentioned.
contending that the acts of Congress APP
proved February II. 1901, and February IS,
1903. nullified the obligation resting on the
company for the payment of any rent for
the occupation of the tract.
In his opinion Mr.. Duvall states that by
the agreement of September. 1883. the Dis
trict granted permission to the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad Company, which was
succeeded by the Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Washington Railroad Company, to lay
side tracks on Canal street between the
east building line of South Capitol street
and the west building line of I'd street
southeast, in addition to the four tracks
already laid on that street. The company,
among other things, agreed to pay to the
District. during the continuance of che
grant. $500 year. payable sem-annually
in advance. until the disapproval or modifi-
cation of the agreement by Congress, and
subject also to the right of the railroad
company under the fifth article of the
agreement. to 'relinquish this privilege at
any time, and payment for the same will
cease from the time the tracks herein pro-
vided for are removed and the street re-
stored to its present condition"
Mr.. Duvall states that Congress appears
to have taken no action relative to this
agreement. and that the parties to the con-
tract assumed 1t to be binding and acted
under 1t. There has been no subsequent
disapproval by Congress of this agreement,
says Mr.. Duvall, unless the same has been
abrogated by the acts of February IL, 1901,
and February %. 1908 providing for the
elimination of grade crossings.
The corporation counsel discusses the
various sections Of the act of February IL,
1901. as relating to the occupation of streets
by the railroad company, and says that in
section eight of the act the railroad COM
pany is authorized to occupy and use for
tracks and other corporate purposes the
parts and portions of several streets and
crossings which are by that act vacated
and abandoned. The act requires In Sec
ton seven, he says, that Canal street be

British Ambassadors Attitude.

1t is learned that Sir Henry Mortimer
Durand, the new British ambassador, who
has just arrived in Washington, is an
earnest advocate of international arbitra-
ton. While he is not associated with the
movement in this country, of course, 1t can
be stated that Sir Mortimer may be relied
on to bring about in Great Britain the re-
suit which the national arbitration COM
mittee in the United States Is working for.
The new British ambassador has been a
lifetime believer in the cordial and inherent
ffiendliness on which British-American re-
lations are based, and his appointment TO
the Washington mission is regarded in off,
cial circles here as especially fortunate for
the movement which Admiral Dewey and
Gen. Foster head.
