An audience that filled nearly every seat in the Grand Opera House last night greeted Sol Smith Russell's ."Fighting Bob" Acres In the "Rivals." It was an audience of great good humor, one that would be p'.eaaed with Sol Smith Russell no matter what character he might choose to take. Mr. Russell undoubtedly has a strong hold1 on the Indianapolis public. The public applauded frequently last night, and went away apparently satisfied with the production of this fine old classic comedy. Nevertheless, one offers to suggest that Mr. Rursell is not built for Bob Acres. While the first object of an actor in these commercial times is to win the good will of an audience. It does not follow that an actor has done a creditable piece of acting simply because ho has been successful In this one reirpet. If flirting the coattails. walking pigeontoed and simulating: cowardice the same as he simulates Intoxication constitute a fair impersonation of Hob Acres, then Mr. Russell achieved a distinguished and artistic success In the role. The vocal mannerisms so charmingly suitable for most of the characters in the Russell repertory are, perhaps, unavoidable. Jiob Acres was a creature of Brinsley Sheridan's brain, and he may as well have a Russell voice as any other. Belnf? a fiction, he may have walked pigeon-toed and flirted hto coattails as Mr. Russell makes him, but. being a country gawk and pretentiously valiant, he certainly would not have played coward In the duel scene as Mr. Russell represents. Furthermore, cowardice does not' often haunt an ascetic looking man. In fact, ope feels that Mr. Russell Is almost physically; unable to pretend cowardice. His ' stage ha hits have stamped him with an entirely different sort of character. The clownish manners that h3 has given Bob Acres do not deceive the bfholr. The cloak is too gauzy, and one at all times easilv penetrates the flimsy pretense, Mr. Russell's Bob Acres was often excruciatingly funny, but It was done in a way too near akin to the antics of a sketch artist on the variety stage to be termed" classic. Still, the Impersonation was creditable to Mr. Russell, whose experience in classic comedy is not extensive. The same criticism that applies to Russell's Rob Acres fits the work of a number of those In his supporting company. They failed to grasp the entire meaning of the characters. The delightful atmosphere of this oid comedy was not there. George Denham's David was the best in the entire cast and had the true ring of the legitimate. Mrs. Pitt's Malaprop was good, but Mr. Woodward wa not at his best as OTritfger. and Alfred Hudson lacked voice as Sir Anthony Absolute. "The Rivals" will be repented this afternoon. To-night Mr. Russell will give his double bill. Those who miss his curtain raiser will miss one ot the best things he has ever done. Sllnnfe Slnddern Flvke Comlnff. A few years ago,' before her retirement from the stage, Minnie Maddern Flske was known as a comedienne, because her former plays gave her no great emotional opportunitySince her return to the stage thl3 scaeon Mrs. Fiske has amazed even those who had foretold great distinction for her by her emotional acting, at once raising her to the plane of the best of her kind In this country. As Mari Deloche in her new play, "The Queen of Liars." Mrs. Fiske runs the gamut of the emotions and moves her audience with a power seldom realized In the theater. Mrs. Fiske was born in New Orleans, and her father. Thomas Davey, is remembered as a prominent Southern manager years ago. She will appear at the Grand the first half of next week In all her plays.

NOTHING IX JOURNALISM. An 1'xnctlnjr Employment In Which the Howard Are Small. The Forum. It Is the fashion to call Journalism a profession, but it is subject to none of the conditions which would entitle it to the name. There are no recognized rules of conduct for Its members, and no tribunal to enforce them, if there were. The most despicable of men may, without challenge, call themselves "Journalists," no less than the most worthy. There Is no more exacting and exhausting work than that which constitutes the daily routine of a- newspaper olllce. It grinds the youth of a man with great rapidity, and In stealing his physical elasticity robs him also of certain liner Impulses that are harde' to recover. And yet it has a charm of its cwn to which the most wearied of Its bondsmen never become quite Insensible. To a young man fresh from college, possessing the knack of composition, and not troubled with literary fastidiousness, it seerns the ideal career. As a newspaper man he can become a personage in a wonderfully short space of time, and can at a bound attain what seems to him the secure independence of a week. He may bo making twice this amount and be known to most of the men-about-town before his classmate who went Into the law is making enough to pay his board bills, or the one who took to medicine haa ceased to be a charge on his parents. But as the years roll by he begins to discern the difference between an established reputation and one that has to be made fresh every day. Work, untiring and ceaseless, is the badge of all professions, but the work of the newspaper man at forty-live is not necessarily better paid work than that of the same man at twenty-five. Twenty years of what Is called successful devotion to his calling has probably brought him to a sense of security in his ability to earn a living, and a consequent indifference to the incessant changes of the little world which bounds his sphere of activity, but beyond tha.t sense of personal Independence he has gained but little. Whether or not he be a writer "on space," he must turn out a certain amount of copy or its equivalent for at least fifty weeks In the year, and the fame of what he did last week 13 as dead as the fame of what he did ten years ago. For failing mental vigor there Is no place In a newspaper office; for long service no retiring pension. The man who cannot keep step with the procession is thrust aside or walked over. The law of the survival of the fittest reigns here in all its brutal vigor: but what may be the enduring type of work or worker, to which all the stress and struggle of the men who make the daily press are converging. Is beyond the reach of my conjecture.

TIME NOT EXTENDED

G. A. K. AND PYTJIIAXS IlCIllFrED BV WESTEIIS ItAIIAVAYS. Commander Walker Positive that No Encampment Will Be Held Unless the Roads Relent. CHICAGO, Jan. 28. A meeting of the Western Passenger Association was held to-day for the purpose of considering the request for an extension of time on the tickets for the G. A. It. ' encampment at St. Paul and a rate below those already granted for the meeting , of the Knights of Pythias at Minneapolis. Both requests were denied. Some of the roads were willing to make the extension on the Grand Army tickets, but the general feeling was against it and the matter was decided in the negative. The Great Western road, which was the first to guarantee a rate for the Grand Army of 1 cent per mile, was strongly in favor of "making the tickets with a twenty-day limit, instead of thirty days, as asked by the Grand Army. The other roads were against It and it is likely that the Great Western, after going through the preliminaries called for by the association agreement, will give a time limit of at least1 twenty days on all tickets sold over Its. line." The other roads will not, however, meet this rate, certainly not for some months, and the officers of the G. A. R. say that they cannot depend on one road. In fact. Commander Walker, of the Grand Array, is under Instructions from the executive committee to give up the Idea of holding the encampment at St. Paul unless the desired concession can be obtained from the Western Passenger Association. Tha refusal of the roads to grant the extension was on account of the demoralization which they claim would result to their business If they issued tickets with so extended a return limit. In the matter of the Knigbts of Pythias the refusal to meet the 1-cent rate made by the Soo line was unanimous. If the encampment is taken to Buffalo or any other point In the East It will not be granted any better terms, and possibly not as good as those offered by the-Western roads. The meeting to-day had positive assurances from the Joint Traffic Association that if either the encampment or the meeting of the Knights was held In their territory, that no better rates would be made than have already been made by the Western lines. After disposing of the St. Paul and Minneapolis affairs, the meeting took up the question of party rates and decided to do away with, them entirely, making, however, provision for theatrical parties. Chairman Caldwell was Instructed to obtain the votes of absent lines on the proposition before promulgating any decree doing away with the rates. Commanded Walker said, after he had been Informed that the Western Passenger Association would not grant the desired extension on the tickets: "Well, that simply lets St. Paul out of it. That is all there is to that. The entire matter will now be reopened and another city selected for the encampment." When Informed that the other roads of the Joint Traffic; Association had declared that they would not grant terms more favorable than those already made by the Western lines. Commander Walker replied: "Then there will be no G. A. R. encampment this year. We must have thirty-day tickets or we wlll 'noc 'have any encamp ment." I to MET WITH DISASTER. (Concluded from First Page.) terlal fcr making- heavy explosives. All these things we threw, into the sea, which by this time was boiling around us and sending great waves over the decks. We worked all night and when 'daylight came wc had thrown all. of the cargo and coal overboard. Still tfie water continued, to gain on us in the engine room and at last It put out the fires , "At intervals all through the hours of darkness we burned rockets and ftred signals of distress, but it was not until about 8 o'clock In the morning that we saw any other vessel. At that time we sighted three schooners, , and .ibey.jsalted us close to us es they could. There were six small boats on the steamer, but only five of them were available. The sixth was so covered with wreckage which had been thrown over It by us in the efforts to get at the arms and coal, that we could not launch her in time. We got Into our boats as fast a3 we could, but there was a terrible sea by this time and the work was dangerous and .slow. We found out afterwards that we were about S9:5S latitude and 72:33 longitude west. "Callsto Garcia Iniga was in command of the revolutionists.' and his wn, Carlos Garcia, was second in command. General Rosa was also on board. These officers ordered us to take the boats, and we did so. I was in the first boat. There were about twenty men bes!des myself In 'that boat, and it was greatly overcrowded and hard to manage in the rough sea. The other sixty odd men came in the qther. two boats. Six were drowned in trying to-1 get Into the last two boats. I do not know the names of all who were drowned, but one was a French chemist, who was with the expedition to make heavy explosives when we got to Cuba. There were two of these chemists, but only one of them was lost. Another of those who were drowned was a man named Alveriche. He was a member of the revoJutlonary party, as were the other four who went down in the sea. The boat I was In was picked up by th schooner Leander V. Beebe, Captain Howes, of Boston. She picked up the first" three boats to leave the steamship, and the other two were picked up by the schooners Helen H. Benedict, of Roston, and Alicia B. Crosby, of Portland, Me. "We left tne ship at 9 o'clock on Monday morning, and twenty minutes later we saw her go down. She gave a great lurch to one side and then settled into the sea. The schooner Leander V. Beebe sailed for this port, but I was taken off her off Long Branch at 10:30 o'clock this morning by the tug Fred B. Dalzell and brought direct to this city. I landed at Pier 8, North river, at 10:30 o'clock, and reported at once to the headquarters of the revolutionary party, in the Manhattan Building. There they told me that they had received telegrams from Woodsholl. Mass., and from Boston, saying that the rest of the crew and revolutionists were all safe, with the exception of the six that were drowned when we left the steamship. . .. "There were no Americans on board the Hawkins. They were all Cubans who had been enlisted in this city to fight for the cause of freedom for. Cuba. We were not drilled in this city, but were enlisted here for the cause. We only knew that we were going to Cuba. No one except the captain and the commander knew what part of Cuba we were bound for." It was learned at the office of F. B. Dalzell & Co. that their tug, which brought Hernandez to this city, was hailed by the schooner Leander V. Beebe forty miles southeast of Barnegat.'N. J. The Hawkins survivors on board asked to be ta'cen off and brought to New York. Seventy of them were transferred to the Dalzell and brought to this city, Hernandez landing, as before stated, at Pier 8, North river. The remainder disembarked at Pier 48, North river. At the Cuban headquarters, No. C6 Broadway, it was denied that the Hawkins was on its way to Cuba. "We would have known about her," said Secretary Gonzalves de Quesada. "If she had been fitted out for Cuba. The report that Garcia was aboard is absolutely false, as he is still in this city." Other Filibustering Expedition. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 2S. A report that three vessels were fitted out In the interest of the Cuban insurgents on the Long Island coast, as given in an evening paper here, is correct as far as could be ascertained to-night. Several fishermen and others who have seen vessels on the Long island sound, not far from this city, report that they have understood for some time that at least two vessels were being fitted out for a foreign cruise of some sort. The work of fitting the vessels has been in progress for months, and it is stated that all three vessels have reached Cuba In safety. They passed out of the sound at different times by Montauk Point and New London. The government people were watching the New York end of the Island, and were not expecting that filibusters would leave by this route. The last vessel sailed about a month ago. It is understood that the arms and ammunition with which the vessels were laden came from Connecticut factories.- . Gomes Forced to Fight. NEW YORK. Jan. 29. A fecial to the World from Havana says it Is officially reported that an encounter occurred last night between Spanish troops, and Gomez's band at the San Lucia sugar estate, twenty miles southwest of Havana. If Gomez himself commanded the rebels it Indicates that he has crossed to; the west, being shut in by the strong Spanish columns fn the country between Guinea Rrncon and San Felipe, where ho has been harassed for the

past three weeks. The two Spanish columns, wiOi three pieces of artillery, under Generals Linares and Aldecoa, together With three hundred men from the civil guard and the San Qulntin regiment stationed at Guanaja, attacked the rebels after they had taken a position at the Sta Lucia estate. The Spanish forces opened with rifle and artillery fire and the rebels retreated. The Spanish lost twelve men and seven horses. No mention Is made ot the rebel loss.

Ten Men Drowned. NEW BEDFORD, Mass., Jan. 28. Thirteen members of the crew of the wrecked steamer J. W. Hawkins, passed through here to-night, bound for New York. They were landed by the Alicia B. Crosby. The arty Included nine Cubans and four Amercans, the former indicating that they could not talk English. The Americans are II. M. Clarity. Thomas Kelly. Frank Thompson and Henry Nelson. Clarity, who was the only communicative member, said the steamer, he understood, had $100,000 worth of arms and ammunition on board. The steamer's destination was a Florida port, where more arms were to be obtained, and later she was to sail for Cuba. There were 126 men on board Sunday morning" when the Hawkins sailed from Port Morris. He knew that ten men were drowned while the Crosby was rescuing one boatload. He also says General Garcia and sixteen f his staff were on board the Hawkins. V ' Garein nnd Son Snfe. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 28. The Cuban leaders in this city say that according to official advices received by them ekx of the men on the Hawkins were lost. Among those were two Cubans named Almerich and Gomez, who belong In New York. The latter is not related to the insurgent general. Word was also received that Gen. Garcia and his son are "safe and sound" in New ork city. It is estimated here that the loss of the Hawkins will cause the Cuban party a loss of &0.O00. Dr. Gulteras, one of the leaders, declared that there were no arms or ammunition on the vessel, but said there was a number of native Cubans who "were returning to their homes." A concert In aid of tho Cubans, held at one of the theaters thi3 evening, realized $1,000. HARASSED BY SPANIARDS. Gomes Compelled to Fight Ills Way West Short of Ammunition. HAVANA,, Jan. 28. General Maximo Gomez has passed the village of Salud, southwest of Bejucal, this province, going westward. Maceo's position continues to be regarded here as critical and it is considered certain that Gomez's attempt to march west is for the purpose of succoring him. Spanish columns pursue Gomez closely and harass his force, compelling them to fight daily and it is claimed here that they are becoming demoralized. Grave reports are circulated of Gomez's sickness and this, combined with tl j stores which his men attempt to carry, is said to make their march slower than it would otherwise be. The leaders Caj'atoe and Alvarez are operating in Santa Clara and Lac ret, In Matanzas, their policy being to threaten small towns and keep the country stirred up as much as possioie and thus make It necessary to lessen the forces than can operate against Maceo and Gomez. It is not admitted that this polcy has been very succes3ful. Gomez's and Maceo's men are far from home and most of them being residents of Santiago de Cuba province, they are unfamiliar with the western country and they do not dare to disband and go among the people, thus making themselves known as individuals. As it is, they are recognized whereever they go, which is claimed as a great advantage to the government. Gomez and Maceo are said to be short of ammunition, as they cannot receive fresh supplies" by land. They are early expecting an expedition to land on the coast and bring them supplies. But the coast is being closely watched by cruisers, which have landed detachments at various points. Tho insurgents have fired upon a pilot train between Union and San Felipe, south cf Havana. The train's escort returned the lire, kining five of the Insurgents. But the lattfr compelled the engineer to open the engine' throttle valve and the train was run Into San Felipe station and the engine destroyed. General Godoyc, at the plantation of Olalblts, haa had a skirmish with the insurgent bands commanded by Roban, Guyito, Alcarez and Nunez. The insurgent loss was five killed and nineteen wounded and the troops captured a quantity of arms, ammunition and mall matter. Nine Spanlsn soldiers were wounded. Captain Gonzales, at the head of a email detachment of Spanish troops, on Sunday last was attacked by an insurgent force, commanded by Iacret, Clotiide and Garcia, at. the moutain farm of La Cama. The Spaniards were compelled to retreat with a loss of five killed and eleven wounded. The insurgent less is not known. It is claimed that the plantations at Cibara, Camaguey, Santiago de Cuba; and Matanzas are grinding grain. The Mayor of Havana, who was appointed by Martinez Campos, has resigned. It Li the opinion that his successor in the permanent appointement will be Luis Corujedo, a conservative. Tho government has appointed numerous army officers to serve as mayors of towns in place of the civil officers, as it is said they inspire more confidence. The government claims to be expecting news of important successes from Pinar del Rio province. The news of the less of the filibustering steamer Hawkins was received here with intense satisfaction. The steamer Satrustequl has arrived at Manzanillo, province cf Santiago de Cuba, having on board Lieutenant Colonel Salvador Ordonnez, Inventor of the cannon which bears hi3 name.

' Yesterday Wns a RIfr Dny at the Y. M. C. A. nnlldlnc.

The bicycle show, given at the Y. M. C. A. Building yesterday, in connection with the "Programme of Intersocialities," was the most successful event in the history of the association, so the management says. Ten local bicycle dealers had on exhibition for the first time wheels of the '96 pattern. The displays were made on the top floor of the building. The show yesterday was the first of the kind that has ever been given In this city, and the immense crowds that visited it during the day indicate that popular interest in the wheeling pastime has not died out. and that tho "craze" is likely to be as great this year as last. As had been advertised, the afternoon was devoted to the ladies, and they came out in full force, scores of bright-faced young girls swarming up and down the broad stairs, or flitting about the art exhibit In the parlors and the bicycle exhibition all afternoon. Brisht carnations with bits of ribbon attached were distributed by exhibitera as favors, and every woman carried away1 bunches of the flowers, as well as cards and pamphlets extolling the merits of the different wheels. A silhouette cutter, engaged by the management of the asociatlun. cut out shadow portraits for those who cared to pose. In the gymnasium dumb-bell drills and basket-ball games, givea by forty Juniors, were watched with considerable interest. At night large crowds of men and boys assembled, and the building was full to overflowing. Tho central point of interest, of course, was the bicycle show, but several hundred Y. M. C. A. members and students from Butler University gathered In the gymnasium to witness the trick riding of two local wheelmen, "Red" Dickerson and "Jim" Vial, which was followed by a hotly-contested basket-ball game between the Butler University and Y. M. C. A. teams, the latter winning by a score of 13 to 1. The line-up for the game was as follows: Butler. Positions. Y. M. C. A. J. Bull Right goal C. Pierson L. Roberts Left goal H. Fleming C. Keen Left center O. C. Pierson M. Loop Center ....M. Eckman O. Ludlow Right center.... R. Neighbor II. Minter Left guard J. Pritchard M. Null....: Right guard F. Hester Many of the spectators r'zed for the first time the possibilities asket-ball, and the frantic yells of delig. en by the mmbers of the association, a ated with the familiar college yell of th udents, as their favorites scored a point, were reminders of scenes on a football ground. But the great attraction was the bicycle display, and enthusiastic wheelmen explained to prospective purchasers the relative merits of the bicycles that will be offered for sale this year. The general impression seemed to be that the manufacturers are putting on the market wheels superior to anj' heretofore made. The art exhibit In the parlors was not neglected, and the reception committee was kept busy dispensing lemonade. It was estimated that nearly three thousand people visited the building during the day. DEATH OF A REMARKABLE DOG. 'fro," Well Known In, Police Circles, PnKsei Away. ' Nero is dead, and while it li not often that a dog is worthy, of having an obituary written when he dies, .many of the older members of the police force will remember the black-and-tan dog that for nine years followed ex-Merchant policeman John Reld as he made nightly rounds upon his beat, and those that do will no doubt think Nero's death is worth more than passing mention. Mr. Reid moved to Martinsville some time ago, and took with him old Nero, who had been his faithful companion so many years. The dog died there yesterday. It will be remembered by those who knew his history, that Mr. Reld found Nero one rainy night, cold and half starved. He took him home, gave him a good supper and a warm bed. The dog was a puppy then, and never forgot the kindness of his rescuer. As he grew older Nero became a valuable assistant, and it Is recorded that many criminals owe him a grudge for trailing them to their hiding places. And he was a great hand at discovering fires. When he sniffed smoke he would crouch down and howl until his master turned in an alarm, when he would prance about and bark in great gice. He often ran to fires, where he did police duty quite effectively. This was in the days of the bobtail cars. When he found himself far from his master's beat and took a notion to return, it is said, he would steal a ride on the rear steps of a car, never failing to select the right one to carry him to his destination. The old fellow bore many scars grim reminders of fierce battles with tramps and burglars, who learned to hate him worse than death. He had an unerring instinct that enabled him to track criminals through crowded thoroughfares. Nero was a dog of ordinary size and was thirteen years old when he died. A STORY ABOUT THE St'LTAIf. v It Is Offered nn Explaining Why Torkey's Xavy Is Useless. Smyrna Letter In London Standard. Why does the Sultan allow what was once a reepectalrfe fleet to rot to pieces anchored off Stamboul? Simply because he considers an ironclad a dangerous Instrument in the hards of any minister or resolute commander. It Is true that there are no ships to guard his coast, but also there are rone to steam up the Bosphorus and throw a shell Into his palace, and that Is the first object to be thought of. The Incident which led to the order for the extinction of the Turkish navy was as follows: A transport was bringing a number of time-expired men home, when they respectfully mutinied and begged their officers to go below, as they wished to do something .which might not be approved of. Some non-commissioned officers then took command and anchored off Dolma Bagtcheh, and, after firing a email salute, beean shouting, "Long live the Sultan!" This demonstration caused Immediate confusion at the palace, and various high officials were dispatched to parley with the mutineers, but they insisted on seeing the Minister, p.nd wren he at last appeared they said that they knew the' Sultan had given the money to pay them. but that they had not received it. and they would not budge until they did. No arguments were of any avail, and the money had to be sent for and distributed, after which the men weighed anchor with a cheer and gave up the ship again. The Sultan, however, reflected that what a transport had done peaceably a heavilyarmed man-of-war might do with evil intent, and, calling Hasoan Pacha to him. he declared that he wanted no more navy. In this liht-hearte1 manner a branch of national defense, which had been the prid of its officers, was swrifleed to the royal fears for personal safety, 'and Hassan Pacha, who has steadily carried cut his master's programme, has ever since been In high favor, and is. .to all Intents and purposes, Minister for life.
