for what might happen at the opera

for what might happen at the opera house.
 Manager G. B. Bunnell yesterday af- ternoon gave orders to his employees for the removel of all the pictorial post ors advertising the 'McFadden Flats performances at the New Haven thea tre. MT. Bunnell says that he took this step as soon as the fact was made known to him that the posters were objectionable to the Irish-American citizens of New Haven.
 He says that the Irish-Americans are among his best patrons and that he will not tolerate anything that is offen- sive to them.
 At an informal meeting of the Irish American committee in the afternoon 1t was decided to offer the mayor a bond of indemnity for any damages against the city because of revocation of tine license for the "McFadden' S Flats" performance, should it be re- voked. Captain T. K. Dunn and Thomas Monns offered to go on the bond.
 A well-attended meeting of the ob1ec- tors was held in the Boardman build ing in the evening before the perfor- nance. The meeting was called in or der to hear the report of the committee appointed to visit the mayor and the chief of police. They declined to give any information of what was done at the meeting, which was a short one. Many of those present went from the meeting to the theater.

 share of the applause, which was so CO., plously handed out to the various stars as well as the pretty girls in the bal- lets. MT. Barrys make up was char acteristic of an Irish gentleman, and there was nothing about his dress or demeanor that would have offended even the most fastldious of Ireland's noble sons "Shure," said one son of the Emerald Isle, If any one has any fault to find with this show it is the German, and not the Irishman," and he was right there, for Charles Cram lich, as Jacob Baumgartner, was made up to carlcature the German in such an odd way that had any nationality any kick coming it was the German But one representative of that country said that they, the German people, had more sense than to complain of such a trivial matter. "McF'adden" has come, been seen and has conquered, while the audience who witnessed the comedy went home satisfied that they had seen one of the brightest, one of the clever est and one of the most enjoyable as well as one of the funniest shows of the season. And the general verdict was that it was all right. Many of those present complimented, as they were coming out, the action taken by Mayor Studley and Chief of Police Wrinn.
 The show will be given in its entirely the same as last night again this even ing, and at the matinee on Wednesday and Wednesday, evening. The advance sale of seats for all three performances has been very large The audience en- joyed an unusual treat and something that was new and novel to most of them. The scenes between the acts were all set in full view of the house, and much interest was evinced in the work done by the stage hands.

 The same night MT. Durkee was called out for three machines which had tried to help each other until all were mired.

 Police

The Call on the Mayor and the Chief of
 Police.
 At noon yesterday committee from the Irish societies which are protesting against tGDe play, "McFadden's Flats P called upon Mayor Studley and pre- scented to him their objections. Inas- much as nothing was adduced tending to show that the play was immoral or indecent, the mayor stated that he had no power to interfere with the produc- tion. The committee was composed of James M. Sullivan, Henry c. O'Sulli- van, Senator Shanley, Captain T. K. Dunn, Patrick Kent, J. Edmund Miller, J. J. Devine, P. J. Henahan. John S. Mccarthy, Patrick Harkins, E. J. Shee- han and John J. Hogan
 When the committee visited Chief Wrinn there was no more comfort waiting them. The chief could not see that he had any power to revoke the li- cense for the play. It was suggested that the city attorney might visit the theater and if ahe play was in viola tion of law it would be stopped.
 The members of the committee were very indignant. They were especially angry about some of the posters used to advertise the play which they con- sidered exceedingly offensive, Attor- ney James NJ. Sullivan, who acted as spokesman, said that the Irish citizens were thoroughly aroused, that he could not control them and could not answer

! .lES17EKDAT'S STOCK MARKET
Break in Prices fin the Last Half Hour

Break in Prices in the Last Half Hour.
 New York, April 9.-It was not until late in the trading to-day that the look of relief for the stringency in the mon- ey market had any appreciable effect on the tone of the stock market, The break in prices came in the last half hour. A hard unyielding surface was presented up to that time in spite of the high rates for call money The rate of renewal by the banks generally though some loans were made at 25 per was 20 per cent. to P per cent, al- cent. Last weeks many rumors of heavy gold engagements for import to be secured to-day eventuated in sin gle engagement of $1,0OO000. This proved so far short of the speculative expectation that it gave rise to the sharpest selling movement of the day. The accumulation of selling orders over the end of the week proved to be light and the professional party committed to the rise showed no sign of being shaken in their position. The small of- ferings during the early part of the day were well absorbed and while no disposition was shown to inaugurate an aggressive advance number of lead ing stocks gave evidence of being irn- ported. In Union Pacific the supervi- sion of the stock seemed designed to hold it's rigid, large supporting orders appearing about 156, while a rise in the price to 156 1-2 brought out heavy sell ing, which was attributed to inside ac- count. The action of this stock was fairly representative of the speculative policy observed in the general market, that is to protect prices from damage while awaiting an amelioration of the money situation. Pennsylvania showed evidence of support as we'll, but the Pennsylvania convertible bonds of 1915 continued to come on the market in a heavy stream. The syndicate to Un- derwrite these bonds expired on April 1, with 40 per cent. of the underwriting remaining sold for distribution to the members.
 Except for the gold secured for im- port nothing occurred to indicate any factor at work towards relief of the money market. Discounts hardened abroad, especially in London and Ber- lin. the price of gold was marked up in London and sterling exchange dropped at Paris and Berlin to obstruct the movement of gold to New York. For eign exchange here, however, was weak.

April was regarded as removing one of the causes which may nave restrict ed the operations of national banks in the desire to be prepared for a favora- ble showing in response to this call The unpromising outlook for money relief as much as the actual stringency seemed to prompt the liquidation which developed in the last half hour of the trading.

MURDER

Several Witnesses Examined Yesterday
 Coroner Inclined to Murder Theory
 Family Relations Not PIeasant--
 Where fig RevOIver.-Case Continues
 To-day.
 Coroner Mix will continue his inves- t1gation into the death of Joseph B. Jennings of East Haven, who was found dying in the road near his home Sunday night
 As result of yesterdays investiga- tion, Mrs Jennings and her son, young Taylor, are held by the police and were confined in the jail last night. It was learned by the coroner that the family relations among the Jennings were not pleasant. One account has it that there was a quarrel at the Crockett home and it was for that reason that Jennings and his wife returned home separately.
 Mrs. Jennings clings tenaciously to { her story of Sunday night Taylor, | however, is a sullen witness and an- sWers but few of the questions put to him by the coroner, but his story agrees with that of Mrs. Jennings.
 Mrs. Jennings says that her son was with her from the time that she left the Brocketts until they found the body of her husband lying in the road and so could not possibly have had anything to do with the murder.
 Mrs. Jennings was formerly Mrs. Taylor, having been divorced about three years ago. Her former husband has made attempts to gain custody of young Taylor He was not very well disposed toward Jennings.
 The coroner would not say whether or not a revolver had been found. It is known however, that diligent search was carried on near the scene of the murder and at the Jennings house, which is little better than hut yesterday, The suicide theory has been abandoned. The coroner said last night that the indications all pointed toward murder.
 Several witnesses were examined yesterday beside Mrs. Jennings, heI son and daughter.

repugnant to the Senatorial sense. AS
statesmen representing watchful and eX-

ercise valuable influence In behalf of

closing the door Of hope. Every Con.
gressional dj"trict has its share OF

rudely buffeted by fortune and who
cherish the hope of lodging further
cruel strokes by landing in a pleasant
consulate. They are men who have
done woman service for their party,
and often they retain connections that
can not be ignored. Are these to be
superseded and thrust aside by pop
injays? Are the oxen that tread out
the corn to be nluzzied? Is the accurs-

A TWO=FooC Rat.

A warehouseman at the Oriental
dock, in Baltimore, had the distinc-
ton the other day of killing the larg-
est rat ever seen along the local water
front. The rodent Weighed nearly
seven pounds. and from the tip of his
nose to the end of his tail he measured
two feet.
1t was only after a desperate fight,
lasting twenty minutes, that the i'm
mense rat was killed. For some time
scraps of paper and wood in the tool
room of the warehouse indicated that
a swarm of rodents was at work. Then
one morning the warehouseman en-
countered the big fellow. With a
broom handle he attempted to put an
end to the rodents life, but the rat
showed fight. Back and forth he
scampered, and when cornered he
rushed at his assailant. Once he hid be-
hind coil of rope overhead, and then
he dashed at the mans head. The
latter lodged but the rodents sharp
teeth grazed his face. At last the rat
was killed and measurements proved
that he was the biggest ever seen in
port.
The animal is supposed to be a spe-
cies found in South America and it is
believed he came here in ship, all of
which carry many rodents.

the reorganization of the consular SER
vice has been shorn by the Committee

cendiary and detestable features-the
provision for examining candidates

"That whenever a vacancy shall
occur in the Office of consul general,
or consul above the sixth ($4,000) class,
members of the two classes next below
that in which the vacancy occurred
shall be deemed eligible to be selecte !!
to fill such vacancy"
This was a palDable attempt to en-
graft the merit and promotion system

to deprive national lawmakers OF their
ancient sacred right to assist the Presi.

high-sa1aried consuls A majority OF
the committee regard It as the sordid
injection Of oommercialism into pure

tence that the consular service Is a

OUR SUGAR CONSUMPTION.
Beet Sugar Now More Than Half the
Worlds Total Production.

OF the more than 1900 million dol
lars worth of merchandise brought in.
to the United States during the last
year more than $50 million dollars
worth was sugar. Sugar formed by
far the largest single item in this larg-
est importation which the United
States has ever made in any single
year.
The T. tied States Is increasing
steadily and rapidly its consumption
of sugar. The sugar producers at
home are increasing their output of
both cane and beet sugar, but even
their rapid increase in production Is
not keeping pace with the increasing
home demand, and as a consequence
the quantity of sugar brought into the
country increases from year to year.
1t has doubled in the last twenty years,
while population meantime increased
but SO per cent. The annual average
importation during the five-year period
ending with 1885 was 1881 ,149 tons.
and diving the f1ve-year period ending
with 1905 the annual average was 2,106,
DAB tons, despite the fact that the sugar
production at home had grown from
176,035 tons in 1885 to approximately
100000 tons in 1905.
The United States Is the largest
sugar-consuming country in the world,
though the per capita consumption in
this country is not as great as in the
United Kingdom. The total consump-
