The nations Capital needs 300

Brown, Superintendent of Police,
told members Of the Dupont

Mayflower Hotel yesterday.
Major Brown said the District

tion, but provision only for the ap-
pointment Of a small number Of
police at certain intervals.
After the majors address, the

The crisis comes when the godly

against Nathaniel, promises le-
niency if his brother will renounce
Oparre and let her sail away.
Nathaniel consents.
BRILLIANTLY ACTED
Here, in the most dramatic and
powerful scene in Maxwell Ander-
sons play, Oparre laShes the hy-
pocrisy, sham and pious humility
of her Christian foes. Her pent
up fury finds expression in wither-
ing words and soaring phrases.

a great actress Katharine Cornell

it momentouS. She was awarded
last night with a spontaneous
round of applause after the second
act curtain descended.
Oparre goes back to the Wing
less Victory, makes peace with her
pagan gods, dispatches her chill
dren with poison potion, takes q
death draught as Nathaniel comes
to affect reconciliation.
While the enternal clash Of the
races is hardly a new theme in
the theater, the writing of Wing
less Victory" and it's unusual treat
ment in this Colonial setting
makes the new Maxwell Anderson
play a most worthy milestone in
the Cornell career.
Katharine Cornell gives the role
of Oparre all Of her abundant
ability, to color one Of the finest
and most searching portraits Of
her distinguished career. She is
beautifully aided by Walter Abel

Reverend Phinease McQuestion,
oldest brother of the seaman, who
makes no compromise with morals
or the Holy Book, absolutely re-
fuses to receive NathaniePS wife.
Mother McQuestion extends a re-
luctant welcome and the village
tongues wag furiously.
Their fury is not Softened by
the knowledge that Oparre had
saved Nathaniel's life, that in her
own country she had both power
and social standing. Oparre,
aware Of this oppressive hatred,
prays to her strange gods for
understanding. To Nathaniel'S
mother she cries:
"You wept above stairs, you
who are his mOther-I saw the
tears wrung from you, when you
thought 1 had not seen, and you
were crying, o, my son, my son,
o why were you not caught by
your bright hair among the
branches? You have wished him
dead rather than here with me-"
A six months residence in Sa.

bitterness. Nathaniel is snubbed,

FROM BROADWAY
I think you will agree that the
picture at R.K.o. Keith's still main
tains the mood Of the original
drama, that the acting standard
set in the footlight version has
been preserved by taking over the
same principals who rode 1t to
Broadway glory, and that the so
cial message Of the script retains
its power.
The note of Illustration which
weighed down "Winterset" in q
stage play has been softened. IN
stead Of dying in a murky alley,
the lovers, Mic and Mirianne, sur
vive the gloom and presumably
pass on to sunshine and happier
days. This condeScenSion to op-
timism in the fade-out will not be
aSSailed here.

DRAWN
TO TRADE PACTS
Prospects of Another Large
Export Surplus for 1885
+. Spur Interest.
BY FREDERICK GARDNER.

ASSOClateQ ETcSS rlndnC1dl WLlteI
Prospects of another substantial ex-
port surplus for 1885 have spurred
interest in reciprocal trade pacts in
commerce quarters here.
A sharp increase in cotton exports
since September, along with gains In
other items, has weighted the trade
scales heavily in favor of the United
States.
The $l00, 900, 900 November surplus
lifted the total for the first II months
to nearly s2O0,000,000 after the ex-
change of goods in the first nine
months had come closer to balancing
than in many years.
With exports on the increase, the
reciprocal trade program is expected
to be watched closely here during the
coming year for indication of what
contributions it may make toward a
better balance as well as increase in
the volume Of commerce.
Six Now In Effect.
The new year finds six agreements
In effect. Two OF the most important
with Canada and Brazil-became
effective yesterday. A year ago only
the Cuban treaty was functioning.
The growing list will be increased
by the addition of the pact with the
Netherlands on February l.
Most supporters Of the reciprocal
trade policy contend that the United
States creditor position since the war
necessitates heavier purchases of goods
abroad to check the drain on the
worlds gold to this country. as long
as resumption of foreign lending is out
of the question.
In the last year Treasury purchases
Of more than $300.000,000 In silver
abroad tossed new weight into the
scales, counterbalancing the visible ex-
port surplus for the first II months
for merchandise items. But trade
students view silver imports ON that
scale as a temporary influence.
Friends and enemies of the trade
agreement program are waiting a
demonstration of its effects to settle
some of the controversy which has
arisen in its path.
Effects Still Uncertain.
While much has been made of ex-
pansion in trade with Cuba since that
agreement became operative in Septem-
Der, 1884 the past year afforded little
opportunity for convincing tes-
timonial on a broad scale.
The Brazilian treaty, signed early
last February, waited nearly a yeai
for final signature and its effective
date. The Belgium agreement did not
become operative until May l. 1t was
followed, as to effectiveness, by those
with Haiti on June and with Sweden
on August 5.
Signed, but still uncertain as to the
time of operation. are agreements with
Colombia and Honduras.
Possibilities for expansion in imports
are linked partly with the principle
of extending tariff concessions to all
countries in good trade standing with
the United States, thus giving them
sweeping scope. - -.~+-z =.
