Jolly American Tramp" In this play
the author, f. f. Kidder, who wrote
"a Poor Relation" and Peaceful VAL
ley" for Sol Smith Russell, is said to
have outdone himself, for in this piece
he gives us deft character delinea-
tions that, we are told, almost rank
co-equal with Charles Dickens crea-
tons so true to nature are they said
to be.
In this play the author touches that
well-sprng of emotion, the heart,
and, firmly grasping it, holds his au-
dience entranced until the curtain
rings down upon the final scene. and
every wrong has been righted, the
just rewarded and the guilty punished
Manager Newell has secured a good
cast for its portrayal, among whom
are the names of Clark Ross, Berline

WOULD CHANGE HIDE TARIFFS.
Specific Demand for Rate Revision by
Congress.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Every day
hundreds of letters are received by
President Roosevelt, asking him to
insert certain recommendation to
congress in his annual message.
Among the requests which President
Roosevelt received and is now con-
sidering, is one from Governor Doug
las, of Massachusetts, recommending
legislation looking to the removal Of
the tariff on hides and a change in
the foreign relations of this country.
1t Is understood that the request of
Governor Douglas is due to the fact
that the leather trust has threatened
to advance the price of sole leather.
This would mean a serious blow to
the shoe industry of this country and
would be particularly felt in the state
of Massachusetts,, where the shoe in
dustry has reached the greatest de-
velopment.

Cuban Records Disposed OF.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-After having
carefully stored for years the offic-
ial records of the occupation of Cuba,
and having paid $500 year for such
storage, the government today turn
ed over the entire mass of documents
to the waste paper man. From these
records many costly, If not valuable,
volumes have been compiled and
printed at public expense, and the
general opinion was that the original
records were worthy of preservation,
If for nothing more they would be
valuable in that they present the exact
facts regarding General Leonard
Woods expensive regime i'm that
island. According to the results OF
the congressional investigation, that
regime was also worth all it cost.

The Great McEwcn Company.

The great McEwen company will
appear at the Frazer theater for five
nights, commencing Sunday, Novem-
Der 26. The company, under the di-
rection of the Northwest Theatrical
association, has been greatly enlarged
by the addition of many vaudeville
opponents.
The great McEwen's magic has been
thoroughly renovated. Many new
features have been added, some of
which have never before been shown
in America. II must be conceded
that the great McEwen's manipula-
ton of cards is the cleverest on the
American stage today. Those who
have seen him previous to this years
tour should not hesitate about going
again. This years performance is en-
trely different from any previously
offered by him. Hypnotism is very
prominent feature of McEwen's en-
deavors.

BArrLEsHIPs OR GUNBoATs,
Bonaparte's Recommendations Eager
ly Watched for.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Naval offic-
ers are looking forward with keen in
terest to the recommendations upon
which Secretary Bonaparte is at work
respecting the increase of the navy.
He is known to favor battleships and
torpedoboats, and 1t is expected he
will be influenced by the naval senti-
ment, which seems now to be against
any other type of ships, especially the
old-time commerce destroyers and
gunboats.
It is held among some of the sec
retary's advisers that the service has
enough of the ships of the armored
cruiser and the gunboat class, and as
an evidence of this examples are given
of the policy of sending to the navy
yards the ships of such types which
are considered as no longer available
for duty. In nearly every case where
it has been a question of the repair
of a ship of war of the intermediate
type. the department has determined
there shall be only such work done,
as will prevent the ship from deter
iorating, and no provision is made for
restoring the ship for active duty
With this state of affairs before the
secretary, he is likely to accept the
view that the service shall be main
tanned by having hattleships and tor.
pedoboats, provided for in the next
naval bill.
It is understood that Secretary
Bonaparte, while he intends to follow
this policy, will adopt the numerica
proportions suggested by the genera
hoard

Lament will witness an Investigation
into the whole subject. This inquiry
will probably be undertaken by a
special parliamentary committee hav-
ing power to summon witnesses. In
his last report to parliament the su-
perintendent of insurance for Canada
pointed out the necessity for the
amendment of the insurance law,
which is not now suited to the require
ments of the business. Before the
law is amended the inquiry will be
held, which will lay bare any irregu-
larities and restore public confidence
in the stability of the Canadian insti-
tutions which have suffered as a re-
suit of the revelations in New York.

Gamblers Seek Independence of the
Isle of Pines


Havana, Nov. 23.-Close upon the
report that the Americans of the Isle
of Pines, near the southern coast of
Cuba, have declared their independ
ence from Cuba and have established
their own, Independent government,
comes the news that the revolutionary
movement was supported by a clique
of wealthy Americans, who have a de-
cidedly practical object in view.
1t is stated on, what is believed to
be good authority, that an American
syndicate intends to make the Isle of
Pines a second Monaco 1t is said
to be their intention to erect upon
the island a magnificent casino and
large number of expensive residen-
ces, which will be rented for the win
ter season to wealthy people who
wish to spend the winter in that beau
tiful climate and, at the same time,
enjoy the sport and excitement which
