POLI' $
N. c. GOODWIN.

With the ringing up of the curtain at Poli's tonight there will be intro- duced a sterling actor who has staunch following in this city. in the revival of play that has left its i'm print upon the theatrical annals of this country in most indelible man. ner The player is Nat C. Goodwin. who will appear in the play which scored him hls greatest triumph. Hen ry Guy Carleton's "A Gllded Fool MT Goodwin had closed his regrla.. season, in fact had gone to West Ra- den Springs for the benefit of his health. but was coaxed into playing q supplementary season. bringing forth his revival. Those who saw the orig lnal presentation will remember it as a pretty comedy. with considerable color and smartness. In the role of Chauncey Short Mir Goodwin is precise ly suited with regard to his standing as an artist. a comedian and d player of good taste. The lightness of touch so typical of his method will be found well exemplified and it may be said with no Encouragement to his other portrayals that in "A (;ilded Fool' he shows more of the proper temperament of the true heart than he did in his other creations. In the Carleton drama he accentuates the straits of as fine fellow as one is likely to meet. his verve and magnetism dominating all with a simplicity truly delightful. The play is really well constructed, and MT Goodwin insists upon it's being enacted without false note anywhere in the presentation. It possesses a deal of heart interest, with pathos that hap pily blends, and furnishes its audi ences with just enough of the former to touch that well-spring of emotion the heart-with deftlress and gen tleness that makes its characters seem real. living. breathing beings. The cOmpany that supports Mir Goodwin contains the names of players who have been seen in the best organiza- tiOns that come this way. notable among them being Neil O'Brien. Felix Edwardes. w. 1T. Post. Norman Thorpe. Fred Tyler. Ruth Mackaye. Florence Parker. Georgia Mandum. Ina Goldsmith. Edna Farnn and Ethel Reale. Prices are S2. S1lQ. s1. 10 and 25 cents. No free list

Senator Morgan Made Sensational
 Charges Against w. N. Cromwell.
 WASHINGTON, March 17.-Senator Morgan occupied practically the entire time of the discussion of the Santo Domingo treaty in executive session of the senate. He made sensational speech in which he charged that Will fam Nelson Cromwell of New York. who was prominently connected with the sale of the Panama canal prop erty to the United States, was the prime mover in q scheme to influence the United States in the financial af- fairs of the Dominican government. He asserted that Mir. Cromwell was actuated by desire to frustrate a plan of a Mir. and Mrs. Reader. na- tives of Alabama. who are operating under the name of the Reader syndi- cate, to get certain concessions from the Dominican government and to pro- mote the interests of syndicate he represented, which it is alleged holds "a mass of claims against E$f{ns4meri. can republics. including large part of the debts against the Dominican government
 Among the senate leaders new plan was advanced in regard to Santo Do mingo. to be dealt with at the next ses- sion of congress. It has been suggested that if the whole matter is allowed to go over q joint resolution might be passed by congress to authorize the president to do the very things that are proposed by the treaty. If this course were pursued majority vote is all that would be required to place the entire matter in the hands of the presi- dent. It is understood that the plan found favor when it was suggested at the White House by senators who call cd there lately. Some doubt was ex- pressed as to the constitutionality of dealing with this question except by treaty. but the case of the annexation of Hawaii. which was done by joint resolution. was used as precedent. and Republican leaders believe it to be feasible.
 Adjournment of the session cannot be had until Saturday because of the situation in relation to nominations for judgeships in. Illinois. which cannot be determined before that time. Treaty discussion will go on for the two days tlle session is expected to continue. and something more may he expected of the charges made by Senator Morgan.
