AT THE THEATERS
BIG AUDIENCE SEE MISS scHEFF.

Miss FRITZ Scheff's show, The Love
Wager" has much to recommend it,
but loses in effect somewhere, when
compared to the previous shows in
which this charming woman has been
seen. The cast is excellent from Miss
Scheif down the line TO the seventh sis
ter The dainty star is as winsome and
pretty as ever and her voice is sweet
and thrilling. She acts and dances as
of yore and in her various duo appear
ances with George Anderson she has
the advantage of most capable sup
port. Mr. Anderson made big hit. in
fact, with last nights audience, and his
work did much to redeem the slow
parts of the performance, when the au-
dienCe got impatient for something to
happen. Miss Myrtle Jersey as Katin-
ka sang well, Miss Inez Bauer as Ella
danced beautifully, and Miss Florence
Martin as Ella did her part well also.
In fact, there was no fault to find with
Miss Scheff or her comapny but for the
Love Wager" as a tunefu and sprite-
ly operetta. such as has been associated
with Miss Schef's name. there is less of
communication to be said The play
drags in spots and the music is not of
an especially impressive kind. though
Miss Scheff's songs are exquisitely rem
dered, and number by Mr. Anderson
called "A Bachelors Song" is very eff
receive. The various dancing numbers
OF Miss Bauer add much to the attrac-
tiveneSs of the show.

Senate Opposition Likely to
Result in Compromise
Bill.
UNDERWOOD IN DILEMMA
Reduction in Tariff and Change
in System of Valuation
Seem Now on Pro
gramme.
From The Tribune Buresu.


Washington. March 2i-In the face ~
opposition in the Senate. the Democratic
leaders OF the House may be Obliged to
abandon their plan of rentroducing It the
special session of Congress the free sugar
bill framed by Representative Underwood
and passed by the House last year.
II became sufficiently clear to-day 10
the Democratic leaders who are mannu.
wiring the tariff revision that the abolition
Of all duty on sugar would stir up trouble
in the Senate II it were approved by the
House. Tho Senate. as has been told IN
these dispatches. will not pass free
sugar bill.
As 1t Is the present plan to smooth out
all differences between the two houses
before the now bill is reported-so far as
that can be done by cooperation between
the finance committee and the WAYS and
Means Committee-it now seems probable
that Mr. Underwood will be induced 70
abandon his original bill and frame
compromise measure which will provide
for 2 reduction I'm the sugar tariff and a
change in the system Of valuation.
This may have the effect Of stirring Up
still further hostility on the part Of the
free trade clement and the Ways and
Means Committee, placing Mr.. Underwood
in something Of n dilemma.
The Democratic majority I'm the Senate
is too small to permit Of taking any
chances with free sugar bill The two
Louisiana Senator'S would oppose H. as
would Senator Shafroth. Of Colorado,
Senator Thomas, Of the same state, might
be Induced 10 vote for free sugar but
this would not save the Democrats from
