THE BOLD soGER BOY"

IhE BULL SOOhh bOI.
 The observance of lent was the cause in all probability of the small attend ance at Polls last night, but those who did occupy seats were more than pleas ed at the presentation of Andrew Mack's new play, ..The Bold Soge1 Boy.'' It was pleasing because it was a very creditable performance, and be- cause it depicted the Irish character in clean and wholesome manner. There were no monkey faces nor exaggerated nor distorted characters, but a play abounding in wit and humor as well as music. Andrew Mack has chance in this production to display his dra- matic ability as we'll as his singing and he accomplished both with credit to himself. He has associated with him a clever company who add much to the general good effects. The play is beautifully staged and everything last night ran smoothly and entertain ingIy. Mir Mack sang his songs in that same sweet tenor voice and was Iiber- ally appIauded. Miss Frances Ring played Helen Fitzgerald, the sweet heart of Gerald Adair, MT Mack's character, and she made a very pleas ing character. In fact all the members of the company were excellent in their respective parts. There were four little children in the production who created the greatest amount of interest and their contribution to the amuse- ment part of the play was not small portion by any means.

Alaskah homsrgaU DIT were agreeu to. MT. Morgan got the floor soon after the night session began and held it for nearly two hours. While speaking he observed MT. Aldrich smile and called attention to it. MT. Aldrich jestingly remarked that he was smiling because Mr. Morgan was not talking on the Panama canal. MT. Morgan replied that that had no connection with the financial bill except the stealing part of 1t, which is in Paris.
 Mir. Bailey made a strong plea against dlibustsring and said that four great measures had been defeated by dlibustering against the statehood bill He mentioned that bill, the two trea- ties and the financial bill. He and oth~ CT senators said 1t was evident the AL drich bill could not pass
 MT. TuIman convuIsed the senate by declaring that MT. Quay, "the most astute politician in the United States" had .bunkoed the Democrats on the statehood bill, using it to defeat the trust legislation. MT. Quay denied this, saying he had pressed the statehood DlAA UV1oIo snS AnlEuSE campaign De- gan. MT. Aldrich said the obstructive tactics surprised him and that he want ed the country to know where the re- sponsibiHty rests should the bill fail.
 The conference reports on the post office and the agricultural appropria- ton bills were agreed to and the defi- c1ency bill sent to conference.
 The immigration and omnibus public building bills were sent to conference.

FIGHTING LADRONES
Sharp Encounter Seven Miles
 From Manila.
STRONGHOLD TAKEN AND BURNED.
Twenty-nine Men Killed and Many Wounded I'm the Two Engage- neRts-Sumner Fears TrOu-

| MANILA, March 3.-A detachment of scouts under the command of Lieu tenant Nickerson attacked and defeat, ed body of 1adrones near the village of Mar1quina, LuZon, seven miles from Manila, Sunday. Lieutenant Nickerson located the enemy and delivered his at tack before daylight. After an hours l fighting the ladrones were scattered, and nineteen were killed and many wounded There were no casualties on the side of the scouts. It is unknown if the enemy formed part of General San Miguel's force.
 The constabulary last Wednesday surprised and captured the stronghold of the ladrones in the mountains of All bay, Luzon, where a force of ladrones attacked small detachment of con- stabulary on Feb, 20. The constabu- lary on Wednesday met with some re- sistance on the part of the ladrones, who were defeated with a loss of ten killed and four captured. The ladrones' stronghold and supplies were burned. Brigadier General Sumner, con- manding the department of Mindanao, telegraphs that he expects trouble ] Lanao, Misamis.

aE EXTRA SESSION IS SUMMONED.
Ehe President, Seeing No Prospect of Any Action on Treaties This
 Time, Calls the Senate | For March s.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-From II In the morning until late last night the house struggled laboriously against the Democratic filibuster, working steadily to wind up the necessary business of khe session. Despite another special rule adopted early in the day legisla- hon proceeded at snaiPs space. Roll gall followed roll call on every propo- sitiOn. The voices of the reading clerks were worn out by the ceaseless calling bf the roll, and several clerks from committees have been drafted to help but.
 Since Thursday last, when the fIi- buster was inaugurated, there have been over sixty roll calls, as against Hfty-seyen for the entire long session lasting from Dec. 1, 1901, to July 8, 1902. The members also show the ef- tects of the heavy strain, but they are bticking to their posts Last night the great hall presented disheveled ap- pearance. The floor was strewn with bits of paper, looking as if snow btorm had swept through the hall.
 The conference report on the Alaskan homestead bill and the immigration pill were adopted, the omnibus public building bill and the general deficiency appropriation bill were sent to confer knce.
 The house also adopted the confer ence reports on the postoffice and agri- bultural appropriation bills and shortly before midnight, at the end of con- Hnuous session of almost thirteen bours, took 8 recess until II o'clock to- Jay.
 The senate passed the general defi- hency bill after four hours considera- bon and after 1t had been amended in leveral particulars. An amendment by hr. Rawlins calling for an approprta- Bon of $50, 1000, 900 to further the work If trrigating the arid lands furnished haterial for considerable discussion, MR Rawlins contending that the sur hlus in the treasury could be better ksed in this manner than by turning into the national banks. The amend bent was rejected on point of order. When the Aldrich financial bill was hken up Mfr. Teller continued his re- parks begun Saturday. He was fol- owed by Mir.

CTS come to Us from their metropolitan success at the knickerbocker theater in New York and their artistic tri- umphs in Philadelphia, Chicago, Wash ington and other of the great cities of the land. In Mrs Ryley's play they each have parts that are the embodi- ments of their very serves and through each these incomparable artists are said to have reached tue climax of their career. The motif of the play is an interesting story of the sacrifice of brGther for the unworthy husband of
 his sister. This young benedict has
 become entangled, just previous to his
 wedding in a nasty intrigue with an
 ignorant young typewriter, and as the
 father of the girl has learned of the
 affair and threatens to create a scene
 at the altar, Arbuthnot CMr Goodwin
 accepts the odium of the matter and
 the real culprit escapes for the time
 being. As this complication interferes
 sadly with Arbuthnot's own prospec-
 tive marital happiness, he is in a sorry
 plight. Such are the main dramatic
 interests of the theme, and Mrs Ryley is said to have found a logical and
 c1everly devised solution thereof.
 Prices are 25, 50 cents, $1, $1.50 and g, and the free list Is cut off entirely. VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES. If welcome from old friends to old friends be sweet, MT and Mrs Alfred Kelley must have felt their hearts thrill with pleasure at the enthusiastic greet ing they received yesterday at the Jacques These clever players, who have appeared, here many times and who have always won high praise for their effective comedy acting, renewed their triumphs yesterday, their charm ing farce, tUncle Phineas,' being re- ceived with uproarious laughter. It is a cleverly designed comedietta which
 permits MT Kelley to show some fin ished character acting, and both as old Phineas and the younger man he gives
 us clean cut impersonation. The act should prove very popular and the, players great favorites during the week. Another very important act is
 the acrobatic comedy introduced by Harding and An Sid, and 1t went with
 an enthusiasm that acrobatic acts sell
 dom win. The reason of this undoubt- edly Is that the acrobatics are subordi- mated to the comedy, and this latter is of a kind that is novel as well as ef- fective. MT Harding as the clown does
 some lively somersaulting over many
 chairs, while An Sid as the Chinaman shows some capital ground tumbling.
 Mile Olive, a pretty young woman,
 does some clever Juggling and club swinging, and William Cahill as s'the
