Fire Patrol System Opposed by Many.
One of the surprising features
Of the present hearings on the
forestry and water power questions is
the antagonistic spirit displayed by
many northern members toward the
proposal to establish fire patrol sys-
tenn in the northern counties of the
state.
Chief Forester E. M. Griffith has
stood in front Of the joint committee
Of the whole, submitting to battery
of questions by various solOns who
are peculiarly interested in the sub
iect. Most of these questions indi-
Gated an unusually strong prejudice
against the proposal to charge back
against the counties protected their
proportion Of the cost. Few, In fact,
seem to comprehend the bill, and
most of them apparently are opposed
to the proposition to build up forest
reserve. Speech after speech was
made against taking preventive meas
ures, most Of the directors maintain
ing that prevention is impossible, no
matter how many men are employed.
In vain did Mr. Griffith cite the fact
that in the German Black Forest the
total loss last year was less than
1000 acres and that it was equally
possible to cut down the loss in Wis
consin by cutting forest lands into
blocks" with the immense number
of lakes, rivers and roads as fire
lines.
Axel Johnson of Turtle Lake, for
instance, thought the question was
simply whether the northern part Of
the state should be cleft a sports
mans paradise" or whether the coun-
try should be opened for settlers.
The southern members, however,
listened with unconcealed amusement
to the protests Of their brethren from
the north.
The discussion was resumed on the
water power bills, with Senator
Husting and Krumrey on the firing
line.

Reciprocity Disturbs House.

Assemblyman Axel Johnson's at
tempt to substitute for the pending
Democratic resolution indorsing Presi-
dent Taft's reciprocity agreement dis
turbed the assembly for short time.
The resolution takes the form of an
"open letter" to President Taft, which
consists Of rambling recital Of vari-
GUS inequalities Of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff, eulogy Of Senator La Toilette,
and winds up with declaration
against any reciprocity agreement
that is not drawn up by a properly
constituted tariff commission.

Favor Big Pension Bill.

A brief debate that might have been
in whispers, SO far as the press table
was concerned, took place in the SEN
ate over the attempt of Senator Vic
tor Linley Of Superior to secure i'm
mediate action on his resolution in
dorsing the Sulloway bill, now before
the United States senate, which raises
old soldiers pensions all along the
line and increases that portion of the
national budget about $45, 100000.
This is the measure that passed the
national house while that body was in
committee of the designedly
in order that their votes might not be
recorded
The resolution was reported out for
adoption, although it was said that
the committee on state affairs, which
gave the measure its sanction, did not
know what the resolution was really
about. After little palaver, Senator
Sanborn objected to the suspension
of the rules, declaring that it was
about time the senate quit trying to
run the business of congress to the
exclusion of state matters.
It is said that most Of the members
of the legislature would rather avoid
voting by roll call on the proposition
and just enough opposition may devel-
op to secure an aye and noe vote
The Sulloway measure is supported
by the Civil war veterans of the state,
all of whom will receive increases in
their pensions If the bill passes.

THE BALKAN PRINCESS. ="
Excellent Light Opera Presented at
the Belasco.

The London Gaiety has sent many de-
llghtful entertainments to America, but
none which is a more charming repre-
sentative of its genre than The Balkan
Princess" revealed for the first time in
Washington at the Belasco Theater last
evening.
English light opera has long been a
thing apart, rarely possessing the rol-
licking humor and the effervescence
which characteriZes the American brand
but always full of the daintiest and
deftest melodies, OF a precise, Piccadilly,
'just-so" atmosphere that constitutes in
itself its own excuse for being. The
Balkan Princess" is an Anglicized Wen
nese musical comedy, a London version
of The Merry Widow but ii is so eX-
quisite and delightful that the auditor
revels in the entertainment for its own
sake, and forgets all about its ante
cedents.
About the inevitable imaginary prlnci-
paIty in the Balkan mountains a plau-
sibIe tale has been woven, possessing a
true dramatic interest, with plenty of
polite, restrained fun borrowed from
Vienna, more or less, and score of Paul
Rubens' melodies and concerted numbers.
The score is chiefly notable for the re-
finement of its orchestration. for the
melodies are hardly of the type to arouse
great enthusiasm in the American pub
lie, which is firmly convinced that Victor
Herbert is an Offenbach, a Lehar, and a
Leslie Stuart all rolled into one. The
score, however, has the true gayety
charm, especially evident in such Hitting
numbers as Dear, Delightful Women
and Somebody's Arms" Not even The

which are more clever in orcheStration
and dance evolution than this brilliant

Miss Louise Cunning plays the prima

personality. Miss Cunning is a true ar

hosiery-in a manner which won the
enthusiasm as we'll as the attention Of
the premier audience. She was the
bright particular star of the ensemble
in the second act. although the double
octette in somebody's Arms" proved
the most delightful example of dainty
and intricate chorus evolution that
Washington has seen in many months
The comedy honors were shared by
Mark Smith, as Henri, the walter: Miss
Josie Entropidi, as the palace charwom-
an Magda: Harry P. Gribon, as Max
Helm; Teddy Webb. as Blatz. and Harry
Lewellyn, as Emil, proprietor Of the
Bohemian restaurant.
Lest there be any doubt about the fact,
it should be said the staging OF the piece
is metropolitan in every respect. and the
scenic effects and the costuming are eN-
uuisite in their harmonious blending of
tints The Balkan Princess" should be
seen by every lover of comic Opera-or
musical comedy, as you will. A. VI. J.
