 It is one of the few plays of the civil war in which the sympathies of the au- thor are with the south, and for this reason if no other, it should draw good houses. The play deals with the mar rlage of Charlotte Durand, a southern girl, to Captain Oliver of the southern army. He proves to be a northern spy and his wife finds 1t out on the night of the wedding. She casts him off, but keeps his secret. During the remainder

WARFARE WILL
 BE CONTINUED Alabama Republicans Have Not Reached an Agreement WELLMAN GOES 10 NEW YORK
State Chairman Says the Report Cir culated That He Will Resign Is Utterly Without Foundation.
 Referees See Roosevelt.

Washington, December 15.-(Special)- J. Following the unsuccessful efforts of the referees and National Committeeman Dimmick and State Chairman Wellman to get together yesterday Alabama pol iticians today incline to the view that there will be no further conferences be- tween the warning factions and it is now continuance of war to the knife
 Chairman Wellman has gone to New York. He reiterated his statement of last night that the report put in circula- ton that he would resign his position was without foundation. The chairman may give up his place later, but if so, he says 1t will not be through any arrange ment with the referees. The willingness of the referees to concede half the dele gates to the next national convention is declared to be a confession of weakness as delegates. Of course, If no name other than the Presidents is presented to the convention. the ant-Roosevelt delegates will have to support him. The lily whites still have hopes, however, that Senator Hanna or some other conservative man can be induced to go in for the nomina- ton.
 The Presidents referees today called upon Senator Pettus to ask him about the question of confirmation of George B. Deans, whom they are to recommend for the southern district marshalship. Sen ator Pettus informed them that he knew nothing derogatory of Deans but of course could not promise to support him for confirmation if serious charges were filed and proven. If charges are not filed against Deans 1t will be about the first Alabama case of the kind on record in a republican administration.

of the war she is courier in the south ern army and tries to block all the evil work of her husband. She becomes the heroine of the army and a great menace to the invading hosts. Finally, after her husband had been killed in the last fight of the war, she marries southern officer.
 Miss Tittell gave a true impersonation of the authors idea of Charlotte Durand. She never over-acted and as Charlie the idol of the army, she was typical woman of the south during the war time, risking anything for the cause.
 Alexander Pollock makes an excellent Captain Jewett, of the northern army who is in love with the southern girl and finally dies by foul act of her husband. He shields her more than once. He has an excellent voice and is a finished actor. Frank Powell, a southern officer and a lover of Miss Durand and finally her husband, was also very good.

 The best information obtainable points to continuance of the present $23 rate for billets, but there is good authority for the statement that strong influences will be exerted to put rails to s26 per ton. Reports are current that earnest repre- sentations will be made to the rail pool by leading interests.
