the bad fashion of quarreling among our selves with the better fashion of taking counsel together and then presenting a solid front to the astonished enemy.
 "The trend of public opinion is toward the democrats. President Tafts long Trip seems to have left things in staue quo"
 The speaker said the recent election proved that wherever the tariff was the sole or the principal issue the democrats won and that when MT. Taft vetoed the tariff bills it was inevitable that the tariff would be the leading issue next year.
 One of the most preposterous canards put into print since Gutenburg invented movable type added the speaker, is the charge that I am in favor of the forcible annexation of Canada. There is not fact in the universe on which to base such a statement. I never, at any time, or place. stated, or even hinted. such a wicked and Quixotic scheme to any human being. have never dreamed of such thing and would oppose 1t to the utmost.
 T have for years expressed the hope that there might be a union of the two countries by mutual consent and for the good of both It always seemed to me a friendly suggestion, because we are neighbors of the same blood and speak ing the same language, but as the Ca- nadians do not seem to want that, there is an end of it.

 From Audience

New York, November 27.-Riotous dis order broke out tonight at performance which the Irish players, recently arrived from Dublin, attempted of the "Play Boy of the Vest at Maxine Eliiotts theatre Much refuse was thrown at the actors and police reserves were called Ten prisoners were taken.
 The uproar started as soon as the cur tam rose on the first act and so inter- rupted the performance that at the end of the act Frederick O'Donovan, who played the part of the "Play Boy,'' an- nounced that the act would be repeated By this time most of the rioters had been arrested and dispersed and the repeti- ton of the first act was accompanied by but little trouble.
 The Irish players believed there was concerted action on the part of the dis turbers and declared that determined lit- tie groups appeared to be distributed ad- vantageously throughout the house. Po- tatoes, eggs, vegetables and other food products were used as missiles and thrown on the stage. Miss E. McGee received a particularly hard blow on the nedu Dy all lilSi potdto, Dul Ter IledNy y hair saved her from serious injury. The audience was mainly fashionably dressed one.
 The playlet, "The Jail Gate,' preceded the performance of ''The Play Boy" and met with no disturbance, but promptly upon the announcement of the second bil; misses came from the gallery and spread through the whole house.
 The real rioting broke out when the Play Boy came on to announce that by the women characters. There were cries of Shame! Shame!' That's not 1rish" and the like.
 In anticipation of trouble a large num- Der of policemen and detectives had been stationed about the house, and when the r;oting broke out they made for the lead- CTS of the several groups and effected arrests while the whole house was on its feet in an uproar. ...
 "The Play Boy of the Western World" DIS written by Singe and staged by Lady Gregory, the correct title, was declared In a resolution recently passed by the United Irish societies as an insult to the Irish race in that it was held to be im- moral and made hero of a patricide 1t received vitriolic criticism at the hands of the Boston Irish Federation

 The other three were discharged.
