Art in Theatre Buildines.

Seven new theatres are now in course
OF construction in this city, and 1t is safe
to say that in one respect all OF them will
differ from their predecessors. When q
theatre was put up few years ago, little
attention was paid to its decoration.
How many spectators could it seat, how
many Of them could see the stage we'll
and how few pillars did the galleries re-
quire?-thoso were the only important
questions in building. So it happened
that theatres were finished in the general
style Of sleeping cars.
Not many years ago an actor-manager
engaged an artist to decorate his theatre
and there was establishment at the excel
lent results. During the present season,
one playhouse was specially beautifed by
decorator. The work Of the decorators
attracted the attention Of managers to the
fact that it was worth while after all to
pay some attention to the appearance Of
the auditorium, aud the best designers Of
decoration are now as much appreciated
as the best architects.
The lobby of a theatre to be opened
next autumn will be decorated with
sculptures by the best American sculp-
tors. Another interior will be dealt with
by a noted firm of architects in behalf Of
luxury and art. The Metropolitan Opera
House is also to be redecorated
This is now the tendency in all of the
new theatres. They are to be beautiful
and artistic as we'll as solid and spacious.
Art is to be cared for on both sides of the
curtain

Assisted immigration.

II any part OF the funds contributed
for the relief of the perscouted Russian
Jews OF Bessarabia should be used to
pay their passage money to the United
States, certain provisions Of the lmmi-
grafton laws, az amended by the Act of
1903. signed by President ROOSEVELT on
the 3rd Of last March, would apply at
oAroc.
Under the law as it stands, persons
whose tickets or passages are paid for by
others, or who are assisted by others to
come, are excluded from our ports unless
it is shown that they are not likely to
become public charge; and this must
be shown alfirmatively and satisfac-
torly" in each individual case. The
act provides, further:
That no bond or guaranty. written or oral. that
an allen shall not become public charge shall be
received from any person, company, corporation.
charitable or benevolent society or association
unless authority to receive the same shall In each
special case be given by the Commisson Gen eral
OF Immigration. with the written approval Of the
Secretary of the Treasury"
lncoo pIONlbloub w uot ucCosSdi ny
close the doors to worthy and otherwise
acceptable immigrants who, in tempo
rary restitution, are helped across the
ocean by the charity OF the benevolent.
But the purpose Of the law is to make
every case Of assisted immigration the
subject Of special and thorough e1amina-
ton, and, where there is any doubt, to
place tho ultimate decision in each in
diHdual case with the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
1t will be seen that the extent to which
the unfortunates Of other lands can be
transferred to this country by money
contributed for that purpose, or by
money contributed in general way and
afterward applied to that purpose, is to
be determined not by popular sympathy
but by the limitations imposed by exist
ing law. The mere fact Of misfortune
or oppression elsewhere does not cre-
ate the privilege Of entry here. The
law Is loosely drawn in some respects,
but very distinct feature Of 1t Is the
requirement Of special caution In the
cases Of all who do not come on their own
initiative and at their own expense.
And this Is as 1t should be.

WASHINGTON. May 2s.-Owing to inability
to get the battleship Alabama ready in
time to cross the ocean to participate in
the regatta at Kiel, to which Emperor
William invited President Roosevelt to
send squadron Of war vessels, the battle
ship Kearsarge has been selected for this
service. The Kearsarge is at the Brooklyn
navy yard. She Is the flagship Of Rear
Admiral A. 8. Barrier, Commander-in-Chief
Of the North Atlantic naval force, who has
been directed to transfer his flag to some
other vessel The Kearsarge has sup
exposed, or two-story. turrets, and no doubt
is felt here that Emperor William will be
greatly interested in her on that account.
She is commanded by Capt. Joseph N.

North River Piers.

II the extension Of the North River
piers to the point desired by the steam
ship companies depends on the North
River currents being no worse than the
East River current, even after the i'm

Will tho Sugar Convention Provo
Abortiye?


It begins to look as II the hopes which
the cane-sugar growers in Cuba and the
British West Indies have built upon the
sugar convention signed at Brussels
would be disappointed. That oonven-
ton. the aim Of which was to relieve cane
sugar from the competition OF the
bounty fed beet-root product, was not to
become operative until October of the
present year, and already incidents
have occurred which threaten to make
it a temporary and provisional measure
and to increase, rather than diminish,
the uncertainties OF the international
situation in regard to this important
commodity.
The truth is that the British assent to
the Brussels convention had string to
it, and the Dutch, Russian and Hungarian
signatories declined to acknowledge the
rightfulness Of the appendage. The
British signature Of the convention was
accompanied by the statement that
Great Britain would not consent under
any circumstances to be bound to penalize
bounty-fed sugar to be imported into the
United Kingdom from any Of the SELF
governing British colonies and would
not permit the question Of It's obligation
to penalize such sugar to be referred to
the permanent commission established
under an article OF the convention. The
Dutch, German and Austro-Hungari ian
governments have since announced that
they differ from the British Interpretation
Of the obligation assumed by the British
Government, and will, consequently, re-
serve their freedom OF action. Now, the
truth is that direct sugar bounties are
given in Canada and indirect sugar
bounties in Queensland while sort of
preferential treatment, which equally
with bounties is forbidden by the Brus-
sells convention, Is given in all the self
governing colonies. Inreply to the in
vitation TO accede to the agreement
reached at the Brussels conference, an
invitation sent to the self-governing
colonies by the Colonial Office, the Aus
tralian Commonwealth has refused to
have anything to do with the conven-
ton. What answer has been returned
by the other colonial governments is as
yet unknown, but, as they share the pro-
tectionist sentiments Of Australia, they
are likely to take the same position.
Since these facts have been made
known to the Continental Powers which
took part In the Brussels conference the
British Government has pleaded that the
matter Is Of no consequence, because tho
self-govcrning colonies do not at present
