AT THE BIJOU.
Comedy of Errors.

Ob'SNy VI A-' VI S'
 Stuart Robson presented the Comedy of Errors" at the Jefferson last evening to a good audience. This familiar play of Shakespeare was staged with all the artistic excellence that MT Robson's plays are noted for. The company was above the average.
 Every ambitious actor assays Shake speare just as every singer is anxious to shine in grand opera. To succeed in either is difficult and to fail in either is wofully dismal.
 With the experience of MT. Robson and his painstaking care in acting any part there is no question of failure provided he selects role suitable to him. for MT. Robson Is an actor of strong personality which shines through any role he as- sumes. In the character of the Dromio of Syracuse he has selected a role that suits him and gives play to his unusual comic vien. He is always pleasing and delight full and is as popular as in the old days when he created the part of Bertie the Lamb in the Henrietta. He was en- Enthusiastically encored but the efforts of the audience to have him make a curtain speech failed.
 Mir Robson's company is we'll balanced, something rather unusual in a Shake- sperean cast. Miss Eleanor Barry as Adriana was graceful and womanly, and was up to all requirements of the part. The amusing farce of woman being mis- taken in the identity of her husband was well portrayed,

WANTS TO AMEND
 THE CUBAN TREATY
FRANCIS K. CAREY, PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL BEET SUGAR CO.,, MAKES AN ARGUMENT BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE.

Washington, January S.-Francis K. Carey, president of the National Beet Sugar company, who resides in Baltimore, but whose place of business is at Sugar City, Colorado, made an argument before the senate committee on foreign relations today for an amendment of the Cuban reciprocity treaty that would afford guarantee against further reduction on Cuban sugar for the next five years He said he was satisfied he represented the sentiment of all the beet sugar manu- lecturers, except those of Mexico. They were willing to accept the 20 per cent reduction provided by the pending treaty If they could be assured that there would be no further cut for a good term of years. He, therefore, urged that an amendment making the terms of the treaty good for not less than five years and protecting the sugar Industry against a reduction under the preferential clause of the treaty, be inserted. With this guaranty, he said the beet sugar men would be willing that the treaty should be ratified. What they wanted more than anything else he said was settled condi- tions, and he believed that a reduction of 20 per cent would be preferable to the present uncertainty
 Now, he added they are not able to realize money to improve their enter prises, but he thought that with assured protection for five years they could take care of themselves. The committee took no action.
 Senator Ekins. who was one of the leaders in opposition to the bill for Cuban treaty in the last session, says he will heartily support the pending Cu- ban treaty. He advised that course when the matter was up last session and said he would support 1t in a speech made at that time. The West Virginia senator says that all such arrangements of commercial character should be made by treaty instead of by bill, as was pro-

MAY SOLVE MAINE MYSTERY.
Cuba to Have Wreck Raised at Her Own
Expense.

Washington, d. c. (SpeciaD Naval
officers believe the mystery OF the sinking
OF the battleship Maine in Havana harbor
is now about to be solycd. Advices have
reached this city that Cuba, at her own
expense, intends to raise the wreck of the
warship, and that bids for the work will
be called for in the near future,
Since the conclusion of the Spanish
War many prominent concerns in the
United States have written to the Navy
Department requesting that they be al
lowed. for consideration, the privilege
OF raising the famous wreck. In reply to
all such communications the department
has said no appropriation is available for
the work and that, in any event, this
country would have first to obtain the
permission of Cuba.
The greatest curiosity is still felt in ma
val circles as to the cause OF the explos-
ion that blew up the vessel. The ma
jority Of naval officers is convinced that
the explosion was caused by some cxter-
nal influence, probably by mine or tor
pedo, and not, as has been claimed by the
Spanish, by spontaneous combustion
within the ship.
