 Lodge Discussed the situation on
 the Isthmus.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 6-Practically the entire session of the senate was de- voted to a speech by MT. Lodge on the situation on the isthmus of Panama He discussed the abstract question of nc right of the president to recognize the independence of new nation and concluded that such prerogative per tains exclusively to the office of the chief executive. He also centended that there had been general expecta- tion of an uprising in Panama in case of failure of the Hay-Herran treaty and declared that the president could not have done less than inform himself of the prospect.
 Mir. Lodge argued that our interven- ton in Panama had been only in the interest of peace and contendad that the president had not gone step be- yond what the properties called for. The conclusion of the speech was de voted to the political aspect of the question, and ill that connection he re- ferred to the speeches made at the Democratic banquet in New York.
 Mir. Lodge criticised the presidential administration of MT. Cleveland say ing he did not think anything cou'd ',appicr for the Republicans tl@a ave the Democrats nominate the I2emoel1tir reform president on q policy of sustaining Colombia and opposing the United States in dig ging canal at Panama

soUEEN OF THE WHITE SLAVES

Sensational and having a human in terest that is altogether remarkable Is the meiodrama Queen of. the White Slaves which will be played at Polls this evening and tomorrow afternoon and evening. The play tells in, brlef. the story of young and beautiful girl whos9is abducted from her home by aInissaries of .The Terrible Nine" a San Francisco branch of the notorious Highbinders. This young woman is rescued from a horrible fate through the efforts of T young and brave de tectiye and Il heroic young girl, who had escaped herself from the clutches of these horrible fiends in human form. The love interest in the play is very strong as is also the comedy element, and the play is so written that one sensation which sets the audience i'll Il frenzy of enthusiasm is only followed by aiiother until the final curtain falls on an unusually clever and happy de- nouement. There are many novelties in the scenic realism which is. most elaborate, Prices are p, B. 90 and 75 cents. and for the matinee to-mor- row special rates have been fixed at F and 9 eents.
 VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 That comedy of the finer and more artistic kind is not lost on vaudeville patrons is being amply demonstrated at the Jacques this week in the appre- citation with which the audiences ac- cept Charles Dickson and company's presentation of "A Pressing NfAtter." There is none of the boisterous element so often found in vaudeville comedi cites in MT Dickson's acting or ill the comedietta itself, and one has to be at tentive to get the right value from the act; but the splendid enthusiasm it has aroused is proof that vaudeville pa- irons like good acting of well written comediettas. The other features of the show provide fun enough for those who fancy the more regulation type of vaudeville amusement, and they arouse lively laughter an enthusiasm. Among the contributors are the Worlds Trio. the Four Lamonts. the O'Rourke and Burnett Trio. Fin1ay and Burke, Mabel Pickens, Topack and West and the cleetrograph with it's film of the great western train rob bery. Prices are 10. 20 and 30 cents: afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.
