PICKETT SPRINGS CASINO.
Mir. EaEletOn Scored Personal Fri
 umph as Gaspard.

Mir. EaEIetOn Scored a Personal Tri-
 umph ms Gaspard.
 It was Mir. Edward Eagleton's tri- umph last night at the Pickett Springs pany presented Chimes of Normandie' to a crowded house.
 When this big, bluff fellow. but ster- ling comedian. played Hodad he might ton; whom he was the clownish Prince Lorenzo. his name might have been Ed. Eagleton and when he was the laugha- ble Nix, those who know him might well last night when he played the tragic Gaspard in the dear old opera, he was MT. Edward Eagleton. the artist.
 The GAspard of Mir. Eagleton was a revelation to those who have seen him play the lighter comic opera parts. His versatility in changing from Nix to the Norman miser was remarkable but 1t was not this that surprised and de- lighted his audience. Before the fall of the curtain on the second act, the big crowd knew that Mir. Eagleton is an actor of no mediocre merit and a singer.
 It Is rare that one sees a good actor in any sort of comic opera and more than a rarity when one appears with a repertoire opera company. Good come diennes are frequently found in both but it Is seldom that one finds man in this part of the theatrical field. who can play a legitimate part Tn a legitimate and convincing manner.
 III the famous Cndteau scene MT. Ed Rleton, by his powerful character DOT trayal of Gaspard, caused round after round of enthusiastic applause. He was not singing, he was not making one laugh. The applause was the re- suit of the dramatic intensity of the situation and It's maSterly handling. When the chorus finally brought the audience to remember for second that they were watching a comic opera, the audience still clung to Edward Eagle ton the actor.
 At the close of the act he answered four curtain calls.
 Chimes of Normandle" is far and away the best musical bill the company has presented. and the company made every effort to bring itself up to the standard Of the opera. Hut two songs were interpoIated and they were inter polated cleverly by that clever musical director. William Reynolds. Practical ly the entire opera was sung, and sung well.
 Leo Adde seemed to realize that when Eagleton temporarily left the comedy field. 1t was up to him to work over time, The little fellow with the rotund figure came up to the scratch without a balk The audience never pined for laughs and his every appearance on the stage was q sign for an outburst of applause
 Miss KendalIs serpolette was excep- tionally meritorious. She did not fall off from the splendid standard set by her in The Telephone Girl" in the Chimes" she grew in popular favor.
 Miss DeYal sang in fine voice and was an excellent Germain Young Per cy Matson was in good voice as Ger nicheux and Mir Pitkins work as Hem ri was thoroughly enjoyed.
 The Telephone Girl" will be present ed at matinee today. and Chimes of Normandie' again tonight.

American Money for RussIa.

New York, Aug. 5U.-American bank CTS are now prepared to sfioat a great Russian loan, and 1t is stated this morn ing that as a matter of fact financieFs in this city have had the terms Of q Russian loan In mind for five months past and the Russian Government has known that upon the conclusion oI peace 1t could raise money here.
 Hitherto the foreign bankers have taken the first step in raising money for the combatants and American bank CTS were asked to associate themselves with the foreign houses. But the Amer ican firms will this time, 1t is under stood in financial circles. ask London, Berlin and Paris to take part in the new loan.
 The exact size of the new loan is, Of course. not known, but some estimates place the figures al. &1OO. 100000.
 It was believed abroad that another Japanese loan would be hoated here. and as in the case of Russia's borrow ing. local bankers will for the first time take the initiative. No estimate of the amount iS given.

 Ensign Wade was in charge of the machinery. The action as to Com mander Young was taken in view of the fact that the court of inquiry in it's findings and opinion did not pass ex- pressly upon his conduct and the ques- tion of his responsibility for the explo- sion. Secretary Bonaparte, however, approves the court of inquiry's endorse ment of the creditable conduct of all the survivors of the officers and crew of the Bennington after the explosion had occurred"

| Washington, D. C., Aug. 90. Now that the full import of peace be- tween Japan and Russia Is grasped In Washington, 1t has made. profound sensation. In the departments and among the admirers of President Roose-
 welt the glory Is freely awarded to him. @
 ship Is concerned, term 1t Roosevelt s luck" Students of the conditions of the two countries and of the proposi- tions with which they approached each other at Portsmouth set the result down as coming from two causes. The first was the unmistakable determination of the Russian plenipotentiaries to yield nothing in the shape of indemnity and. rather than submit to anything that might be construed as the surrender of a conquered nation, to fight on indef- nitely. The second was the compara- tive financial resources of the two em- pires, which of late have been much dis cussed. Japan. according to the best information. was expending for the war six times the amount of her revenues, while Russia was drawing upon only half of her revenues.
 This Is the unsentimental view of the result of the peace negotiations. It does not take into account the influence of the President, because, while to the last moment he was working for peace. his great surprise at the outcome indi- cated he did not expect such an agree ment.
 There is some talk of the magnanimi- ty of the Japanese. but underneath that is Japanese wisdom and gratification with her record in the greatest of mod ern wars, and the eminently' advanced position she has achieved among the nations of the earth.
 The Japanese who are in Washington are not saying much. which is taken to mean that they are disappointed in the yielding of so much to the Russian rep resentatives. Russians here are de- lighted and are even exultant as.though Linevitch had driven oyama into the sea R. H. Watkins.
