with occasional lines that seemed
more after the order of present day
conversation. History, too, almost
overleaped itself. in the effort to
make merry over the Vice Presiden-
tlal berth as political graveyard.
Early Washington Shown.
The second and third acts were made
distinctive chiefly because OF the por-
trayal of conditions in the National Capt.
tai soon after it took possession Of its
present site. The surprise of the minis
ters and charges d'affaires and their
families at the unfinished condition of
the Presidential residence and their
subsequent difficulties with Jefferson
simplicity furnished considerable fun.
The third act, in which the guests were
at loss how to enter the dining room
in the face of defiance OF precedence
on the part Of their host, was amusing
but long drawn out.
Caldara In Cast.
Orme Caldara was assigned the role
of Aaron Burr. His work is we'll known
in Washington because Of his long con-
necticn with u stock company at the
Columbia, and mis- performance last
night was less satisfying than some Of
his previous impersonations here. Mr..
Caldara did not seem to invest the
Observation-Disclosures with the person
ality history and legend have given him.
The Burr of Mr.. Caldara neither was
particularly brilliant. wicked, charming
nor forceful.
Two of the best character studies in
the piece were contributed by William
Hawtrey, as Sir Anthony Merry, min
lister # Great Britain. and Florence
Edeney, as Lady Merry.
There was an occasional melodramatic
display of papers and mysterious mis-
sivcs, but these led nowhere.
The feature that makes the first act
more enjoyable than those that follow,
is the intimate exploitation OF historic
personalities at the hands Of their asso-
ciates. The foibles. and worse. Of per-
sonages around whom a halo has al
ways clung, are disclosed. Even the
great Washington does not escape and
though the commentaries on him may
be notwithstanding the author has his
tory for his champion.

Here is a chance for Government
clerks to give a bit of substantial evil
dence that they want to do something in
their own behalf.
In one Government department-not

unfortunate situation of clerks, and ask

roller skaters, made their bow before
the local public at the Arcade skating
auditorium last evening, and were re-

 Secretary Fisher said the govern ment might not rate certain proper ties as models and would lease the Iremainder to private capitalists un- der government regulation. Tine amount of land to be leased would be limited, he sa'd. to the area that lprofItably could be mined to meet current demands for coal.
 Secretary Fishers announcement was contrary to the announcements of previous speakers, concerning the Alaskan domain. A number Of Alaskans and others had spoken lstrenuously denouncing q government leasing system as bad for both land and people.
 The policy of the government con- lcerniug public lands in the west de. lveloped controversy ,between Gov. ISpry of Utah and Director of the theological Survey Smith, Dr. smith advocating the leasing system and lGoyernor spry opposing it.

La Barra cabinet today through the acceptance of their resignat ations b. the chief executive. Their dismissa, was a direct outgrowth of the fu- tile campaign against Emili9no zap- lata.
 Coincidently Francisco I. Madero, president-elect, from Parras. Cohaui. la, hurled charges of bad faith on the part of the present administration toward the Morelos rebel.
 The ministers who left the cabinet were:
 Sub Secretary of War General Jose Gonzales, Salas who has been filling the post of minister of the Interior Alberto Garnia Granados and Dr Francisco Vasquez Gomez, minister Iof pubhr instruction and erstwhilt candidate for vice president.
 For reasons which they put forth and which had weight" was the eS- planation given by the president for dispensing with their services.
 From other sources if was learned that the resignations of the minis ters in question were requested.
 Rendered verbally at an animated conference between the president and his official family at Chapulte- pee last night which lasted until Inearly midnight, the formal sufrend- CT of the portfolios and their ac- ceptance occurred at the National Palace today. Asthoush mseh ses lereey surrounded tho days develop Iments, the resignations arc 9opularIy believed to be traceable to the dis graceful state of affairs in More los, Oaxaea and Guerrero, following, as they do, upon the heels of We'd Inesday's interpolation of the war and ;atesier ministers by the cham. CT of deputies. Tn that interpela- ton and in interviews both ministers made inuendos that the campaign in that state was not being conducted fairly and that the chief executive was largely responsible for it's fail- ure.
 Madero's charges were more d. rect In strong telegram to tha Nueva Era his personal organ. he de- clared that his failure several weeks ago to bring about the submission of zapata and his men, was due to lyiolation by the administration Of pledges which he claimed he had been authorized 10 make in consid- eration of such. submission. lie mentioned two instances. One was that the federal troops were not to advance pending the conference with zapata, looking to his surrender. He declared they did continue to ad- lvance and thus sent the rebels bach on the war path The other evidence of bad faith, he said, was the rerusr of the government to abide by the selection of Edurado Hay. former Revolutionary chief for governor oi Morelos, notwithstanding he had agreed with the president that he shuld be so named
