DRAW LARGE CROWD.
Gentry Bros Show Favorite Yester-
day and Today.

The excellent weather yesterday had the
effect of packing the big tent at the Gem
try Brothers shows on street near 10Th
street northwest, at both the afternoon and
night performances. The many big fea-
tures of the program attracted thousands
The performance this afternoon was also
no exception in the matter Of crowded
tent, and the remaining shows this even
ing tomorrow and Saturday, after which
the big aggregation Will go TO Baltimore.
will no doubt be as heavily attended. The
Gentry Brothers have succeeded this year
in collecting even more interesting as-
gregation of trained animals than they nave
In any season past, which Is high praise IN
deed on account of the high-class shows
given before in this city. The ponies, dogs,
elephants, mules and monkeys do ABOUT
everything that could be suggested, and
the only remaining feature that can be
imagined would be the introduction of talk
ing animals.
One of the most interesting or the many
attractions at the Gentry Brothers shows.
at least to the little folks. is the privilege
of riding the ponies, elephants ana camels
after the regular performance. The ami
mails are all placed in charge of trained
attendants and the little ones are gwen
a ride. They have enjoyed themselves
hugely during the week A sight worth
going far to see IS a string or the hlgniy-
bred, clean-cut, intelligent little animals
led about the big tent, each one with
laughing youngster on his back. NO Ia
yorites are played In this portion of the
show and each one who wants lift at
the expense of the patient four-footed per-
formers gets 1t.
The collection of grayhounds owned by
the Gentry Brothers is an exceptionally
fine one. and the exhibition or high and
Iong-distance jumping given by them is
little short of marvellous. The dogs seem
to enjoy the performance fully, and fire.
ouently there are clashes between them
over the question of which shall be first.

ANGER In THE D0UMA
RADICAL SPEECHES MADE IN
RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 81.-Indignation
over the execution of the eight revolution
lists at Riga on the heels of the interpella-
ton Of the government on the subject
adopted by the lower house of parliament
created a storm at the opening Of the ses-
sion today.
After the reading Of message Of con-
graduation from the president of the Ar
gentine parliament, couehed in extremely
cordial terms, which was received with
much applause, the group of radical con-
stitutional democrats. supported by the
workmen group, urged the necessity of i'm
mediately framing law to abolish the
death penalty. in view of the government S
refusal to cease executions
The majority of the speeches were ex-
tremely revolutionary in tone and the mod
crate and constitutional democratic leaders
had hard work in stemming the tide Of radi-
clalism which threatened to carry the house
off its feet.
NJ. Alladin, the peasant leader, now the
Robespierre of the Russian parliament
urged the necessity for the instant adop-
ton Of a law abolfshing the death penalty
and proclaiming general amnesty as SUI
preme act of parliament, without regard
to the action of the upper house or of the
government. or else proclaim to Russia that
parliament Is impotent, all its power having
been usurped by the Owners of the Cos
sacks and machine guns
Father Poyarski. an orthodox priest of
Vorenezh, was second only to NJ. Aladdin In
violence of language. He declared that If
the death penalty was not Immediately
abolished 1t would be the duty of parlia-
ment to resolve to cease its attempt to
legislate. disband and go home.
M. NaboukoR leader of the constitutional
democrats, Professor Kusmin- Karavieff,
of the Tver delegation and other moderates
pleaded with the house not to take such a
defiant step.
While warmly Insisting on the advisa-
bility of passing law abolshing the death
penalty. they urged the wisdom OF legis-
lating in legal fashion and not forcing
a rupture before the authority of parliament
had been established In the country.
In the end a compromise resolution was
passed. practically with unantmity. in
structing the committee on the tnviolabil-
ity of the person to present the bill within
five days providing for the abolition of the
death penalty, the bill to be considered
urgent and the president of the house to
fix day for It's consideration not later
than June 9.

Base Ball for the British.
cleveland Plain Dealer

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
A determined effort is being made just
now to put base ball as played in this coun-
try on an enduring footing In England. Six
leading foot ball clubs met not long ago and
organized the British Base Ball Association.
The next thing In order will be to organize
individual clubs. and 1t Is stated that a nu-
cieus of players who have a practical knowi-
edge of the game Is at hand. Just what
John Bull viii think Of this latest attempted
invasion OF his tight little island it Is Inn
possible to say. 1t seems almost too radical
a step to substitute base ball. a brisk and
hilarious sport that can be played to a finish
In two lively hours. for the deliberate and
eminentiy respectable game Of cricket, that
sometimes draEs its slow length through
the better part OF three days.

Money In Amusement Parks.
ON the Railway ana Engineering Review.

The estimated investment in summer
amusement parks In this country will reach
a total of s10o,o00.o 600 this year. The total
number of parks is estimated at 200, and
three fourfhs of that number are controlled
by and operated for electric railway lines.
This figure for the investment seems high.

many small resorts. '.gardens.'' "grovas,.,
ETC., found in every locality ars not in

figure may be accepted IS representative,
though It viii correspond more nearly 10

frequently being quite different. At any
rate the Investment will reach an astonish-
ing total. and It calls attention to an in-
