to have his eyes attended He is suffering from cataract The story of the battle of Manila from the standpoint of the jackey is interesting They all adore Admiral Dewey and in speaking of the daring of the midnight entrance to Manila bay they do not tell of their own feeling or prate of their courage but talk in admiring tones of the Admiral that dared to risk not their lives but his own by sailing through waters he had every reason to believe were thoroughly mined Jackson who was on the Olympla said that while all the men felt decidedly uncomfortable and were in momentary expectation of either seeing a Spanish shell in some vital part of the ship or of being blown up by some submarine mine the cool cor fldenee of Dewey made Itself felt throughout the ship and the men lost all fear in their admiration for their Commodore It was creepy work at first said one of the sailors but before we went to breakfast It was evident that we had a walkover and when we went into the fight again there was nobody worrying either about the result or from fear of getting hurt Daniel the Charleston Jackey says that the Governor of Guam came on board the Charleston full of indignation at the firing on his island forts lie accused Captain Glass of having Insulted the Spanish flag and when informed of the real condition of affairs was the most surprised looking individual Imaginable The sailors 111 be

breach of diplomatic custom for me to discuss public matters for publication he said particularly before I reach Washington and call at the State Department It is a courtesy due the Administration that I should first communicate to the officials at Washington whatever information of interest I may possess regarding Oriental affairs And with this for a reason he declined to say anything about any phase of Oriental politics When asked hat he thought of the plan to retain the Philippines he said Now you certainly do not expect me to talk about the Philippines do you I have no hesitancy in salng that I think the annexation of the Hawaiian islands was an act of great wisdom but the retention of the Philippines Is a matter on which I hae absolutely nothing to say As a matter of fact I do not know anything about the islands and their future is a matter that requires more serious consideration than I have glen to it On the subject of the recent uprls ings in China the impending division of the empire and the attitude and ambitions of the European powers ex Minister Denby was equally secretive He parried all questions on these matters by declaring that he was nt at liberty to talk Oriental politics at present Colonel Denby ls now close to 70 years of age having been born in Virginia in 1830 His education included three years at Georgetown College in the District of Columbia After leaving that institution he entered the Virginia Military Institute from which he was graduated In 1850 In 1853 he went to Evansvllle and entered a law office as ar law student at the same time

Spelling is the latest candidate for Congressional honor in the Fourth district and he claims to have received the nomination from the delegates of his constituency at a convention held in Bnai Brith Hajl last Saturday night A few Democrats unaffiliated with either the Buckley squareheads or the Rainey roundheads held a sort of secret session there and named a candidate for office Spelling claims that the nomination is as legal as that of any number of other Democrats styling themselves the Democratic party Rainey Harney and the other recognized leaders of the Democracy are not aware of any such nomination having been made but their Ignorance does not affect Spellings ardor or ambition He has the nomination and will fight for recognition Other candidates are likely to crop up at any time for the Bourbon ranks art just full of them At two stormy meetings of the Election Commissioners held In the base ment of the City Hall vesterday a ma Jority of the Board acting in opposition to Mayor Phelan and Tax Colleetoi Block made things er unpleasant for Registrar of Voters Biggy and inlnu ated that he had shown himself inefficient Incompetent and derelict In tils duty toward the Commission The animus of the aggressive Commissioners evidently arose from their desire to share In an appointment of a new corps of clerks who should supercede the forty seven that the Registrar had retained to prepare the 303 precinct registers for printing prior to the final purging of the rolls by the Commissioners themselves As results of the clash of authority Auditor Broderlck announced that he would not now sign the warrants for the payment of the 900 men employed at the precincts during registration and the Board actuated by the prevailing wi6h voted to appoint fifteen new clerks and to drop fifteen of Biggy The final session of the day concluded with the naming by each of the five Commissioners of their three appointees and with a motion by City and County Attorney Creswell that thete fifteen men be paid 125 a month beginning this morning William Yiausmen Joseph Windrow and John McCarthy were named bj City Engineer Tllton Martin Cleary Parker Jones and Charles Hackmeier were the appointees of Harrj Cres well Tax Collector Block appointed Charles PurdjLH Kosminskyand John OLeary and Mayor Phelan chose to appoint Walhel Fran Horan and George Seekamp and Auditor Broderlck completed the quota by naming John Bore John Donohue and Thomas Hart Before the list was ratified Registrar Biggy attempted to Interpose an objection In which he requested to be allowed until this noon to present the opinion of his attorney But Commissioner Creswell cut him off with the declaration that It mattered little wnat his attorney did that he himself was being guided by the laws as he had found and Interpreted them The trouble was resumed at the opening of the morning session for It really began several days before at another meeting Biggys subsequent assertions to reporters that he would permit no Interference with the performance of his duty in office and would not accept clerks forced upon him by tht Commissioners had added to the flame An eager crowd had formed in the space outside the ralL Later on it developed that several of the Interested listeners were there to hear their names Indorsed for clerkships The Mayor had been in Sacramento at the time of the meeting that led up to this one and he was not prepared for the demonstrative way in which Audi tor Broderlck ignored or attacked the Registrar nor for the caustically technical manner in which the City Attorney Interpreted the words Biggy uttered in attempted explanation or apologetic protest It was suggested that a request be made to the Registrar to produce the precinct records I make no request lndlgnajitl remarked Auditor Broderlck I demand that the reports of registration be submitted to this Commission Biggy tried to explain that he was working upon them to get them ready for the Board to purge I don care what you re doing yelled Brod erick I don ant to hear from you There seems to be a conflict here observed the Mayor soothingly but his words dd not soothe for a little later Broderlck turned upon him and ex claimed with emphasis No you don I refuse to be told to suspend payment on the warrants I am not dictated to In my office Biggy had Just been try ing to explain that there had been a delay in hearing from some of the precinct boards and that even at this late date five days after registration had closed he had no re port from two of the precincts If that was the case declared the Auditor then the Registrar had had no business sending in the SCO warrants to be signed bj him as some of the men at least had not qualified for their pay If I were Auditor interposed Creswell these clerks demands would not be allowed as they wish pay for Illegal work The register should have been completed for the printer two days ago I don recognize any of those clerks now in the office of the Registrar and if their warrants were presented befor this Board I would vote against paying them Legal lore was aired to support the contentions of the majority of the Commission and a special opinion as read and then elaborated upon by Jujuj Kahn The burden of it all was to convince that the Commission had the power to oust the clerks and appoint others Mayor Phelan suggested that a more logical Interpretation be put upon the authorities cited I think he said that the better way the more convenient way for the 62 000 votcis would be to print the precinct register first no matter hat the mistakes ana then after the public had had an oproi tunity to see them to go on with the purging There would be very little additional expense The Commissioners will meet again this morning Bernal Heights Street Grades City and County Surveyor and City Engineer Charles 8 Tllton filed a long report vvith the Board of Supervisors yesterdav concerning the grades for streets on and about Bemal Heights After giving a voluminous list of ligures for each of the various blocks Involved he concludes with the assertion The contour of the ground In the district under consideration ls such that it will be necessary to open a street for drainage purposes from Halladay avenue to San Bruno avenue and probably to Islais creek channel This drainage street should be opened as an extension of Rutledge avenue and in fixing tue grades I have assumed that It will be so opened No action can be taken on this report until after the present vacation of the Board of Supervisors The question of the Philippines ls of such vital importance to this country that every man woman and child should be intelligent on the subject There ls no fcource through all the data of these faraway

THE FRAW1ET COMPATT APPEAR IN A COMEDY AT THE COLUMBIA The Orphean Has Fresh Talent A Kw Melodrama by a San Francisco Writer La Gloconda The sir of metropolltanism appeared last night Its first appeance in a long time at the Baldwin Theater and the performance lived up to the dignity of the occasion There was a surprise awaiting the people when they went inside for Messrs Friedlander Gottlob Marx had actually changed the entire decoration of the auditorium and said nothing about It For the first time in its history the Baldwin is entirely In light colors Lately it has had a pafnful look of dirt in it but last night the renovations had made such a change that one could breathe the cleanliness It looks much larger the entreacts seemed to be much livelier with conversation In the abundance of light the stage is more clearly visible to the front rows for the orchestra has been sunk Indeed it looks as If the Baldwin had taken a new lease of life for the house pleased Henry Miller made a hit bis company won the frank favor of the well dressed audience and the play proved as charming a little story as charmingly told and acted as anything we have had In years Heartsease is by two Americans only slightly known and yet curiously enough it is a very much better play than several of those widely reviewed romantic dramas we have had from England It ia quite superior to The Mayflower it is in many respects cleverer than Rosemary and it is much more moving than either It gives us the pleasant fillip of a love story with charming people In It the sympathetic chord is struck In the misfortunes that fall upon Eric Temple the sensitive composer and the background music sung and ployed nearly all through behind the scenes is particularly graceful and attractive There ls hardly a doubt that If that third act had oome from England we should have had some people raving over it as an exhibition of the superior talent of the foreigner It ls a strong poetic and dramatic act and ends with a quite strikingly original scene Eric Temples opera has been stolen by his rival it is played under a different name and he coming to Covent Garden during the performance after a serious illness hears all through a pretty scene with the woman he loves who ls betrothed to his rival his own music he knows so well He takes it for a hallucination till he finds it is reality Surely that is as simple touching and emotional a combination as could be conceived Less that that has made many a man reputation There are other things there worth mentioning but the theater goer who wants to be charmed into an enjoyable sympathy with what ls romantic sentimental and pretty will find it all in Heartsease as played by Mr Miller and a most agreeable company The same magnetism which made Henry Miller popular years ago is with him still and in this play he shows again the charm which made his love scenes always fine Not all ls It love acting here though and in the serious end of the second act and especially through the finale of the third he draws with a very sure and direct dramatic force Admirably self controlled he touches first the right key in his emotional and that he does with an effect all his own Mabel Bert is about as clever a leading woman In this picturesque line as any and Margaret Dale was attractive from her simple and unconventional playing of the young girl Another graceful little actress was Ellen Mortimer while one had a little of the old She in Miis Clements Lady Hara Augustus Cook and Leslie Allen were clearly recognisable In their firm and decided acting and Charles Welles Arthur Elliot and the others made up a strong cast Last night performance at the Alcazar Theater ill probabl be set dow in the history of the stage for Lewis Morrison who will unquestionably have a place there gave the world for the first time his conception of Shylock It la an impersonation worth more analysis than can be glv en to it here He has been too long on the stage in prominent roles not to appeal to thoughtful theatci goers It would of course be phenomenal If he did not awaken any argumentative criticism but as a presentation of Shylock it is scholarly throughout with many particularly strong points and many unsatisfactory ones generally he is a more vigorous Shy lcck than most He makes the Jew firm and strong without the usual display of age which somehow characterizes others His reading ls sometimes very effective and sometimes strangely faulty But he moved the audience at the Alcazar last night to acknowledgments which were on the whole deserved and must have given him pleasure Miss Roberts as a modern and generally colloquial Portia and the Alcazar company did really sur pribingly well in Shakespeare The house was packed On Probation the play written for Crane by Brander Matthews and George Jessop was presented last night at the Columbia Theater by the Frawley company With such authors something good must necessarily come forth although the piece hardly had the rollicking effect it should have had A go6d house enjoyed It however with every evidence of pleasure and the company acted it very well Mr Roberts again carried away the honors as Jonathan Silsbee He seemed to make up a little old for the proper rapport with the oung lady who was presented rather seriously by Fanchon Campbell Karra Kenwyn was a light widow and the cast had some variety of character with several foreigners There is a constant vein of amusement through On Probation with scenes of more or less seriousness Just sufficient to give the back bone to the comedy The specialty bill presented at the Orpheum last evening has several novelties Charles Case did some clever monologue work and Elsie Adairs songs and comedy seemed to be popular The return of the American Bio graph with new scenes many of the late war was one of the principal features of the progamme Miss Lillian Burkhart assisted by Carb Wilbur and William Brewer presented a new one act play entitled The Bait Cellar The farce ls one of the cleverest on the vaudeville stage and Miss Burkhart and Mr Wilbur carried out the little plot extremely welL Mr Wilbur had more and better work to do and Miss Burkhart was as charming as ever There was no abatement In the enthusiasm displayed over the daring leats or the Hegelmans The aiacarte Sisters appeared In a new

Imhaus scored a success before a large audience at Moroacos Grand Opera house last night With Judicious pruning where the weak portions cause the play to drag a creditable melodrama will result The mechanical features contribute much to the success achieved notably a moat realistic fire scene The work of Lorena At wood Jessie Shirley Landers Stevens and Fred Butler carried the sensational play and their efforts were ably supplemented by the other conscientious members of the company The musical selections of Professor Graeber mandolin class were Introduced as a specialty In the Fulton ferry scene to the satisfaction of the audience A good comedy element prevails throughout the play La Gloconda Ponctellls strong dramatic opera was sung at the Tlvoll Opera house last night and loudly applauded by a large audience The cast Included Carrie Roma Elvla Crox Mary Linck Maurice DeVrles Wan rell and Rhys Thomas In the leading roles Some of the scenes were exceptionally well sung but the performance was uneven MIbs Roma and Miss Crox In the duet in the second act did really fine work but they did not sustain it Still the performance was remarkable In the Intelligent Interpretation it gave of Ponciellis music seeing that several were not trained grand opera people Miss Lichtar William Pruette and Signor Zernl make almost a new cast to alternate this week with that of last night
