The Dramatic Club gave a brilliant iinaJe to an enjoyable season last evening. The committee, Mr. and F. M. Ayres. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Taylor, Mrs. Hervey Bates, Jr., Mr. Arthur Smith and Mr. Laz Nbble .provide*! a double bill, which was enthusiastically pronounced the best entertainment the Dramatic Club has ever had. The first part was a comedietta in one act, from the German, “Her Only Fault,’’ in which are a young husband and wife (Mr. Edward A. Foote and Miss Elizabeth Dye); Kitty, a maid (Miss Hasselman), and lehabod Bliffer (Mr. Alba T. Perry), who is an uncle of the husband. The only fault of the wife is that she is careless and leaves the rooms strewn with her things. The husband begins to explain to the uncle the one fault, but is interrupted and the uncle thinks the wife is mentally unbalanced. Out of this the complications arise. The four characters were admirably sustained, all entering into the spirit of the play. After the curtain fell Miss Marguerite Hubbard, of New York, sang the “Jewel Song,” from “Faust.” She has a winning presence arid a fine soprano voice that is highly cultivated. She responded to a triple encore. The close of the song was the signal for the third and last part of the programme, the minstrels, shining lights of society in black faces, and such a wealth of talent w'as shown that only a minute description could begin to do it justice. Mr. Hugh MeGibeny was musical director, and Mrs. MeGibeny. accompanist, and the twenty men formed a first-class chorus. The soloists, Mr. Arthur D. Gates, Mr. E. B. Martlndale, jr., and Mr. Charles Martindale would be a credit to any professional company. Mr. Gates’s deep bass of wide range and well cultivated, was a surprise to those who did not know its possibilities, and Mr. Charles Martlndale gave a finished production of “The Midshipmlte.” Everything was so gcod that encores were in strong and decided demand. In the specialties Mr- Jacob P. Dunn’s speech and “If I Were Married,” by Mr; Meredith Nicholson and Mr. Edward E. Gates were immense. Mr. Dunn said, among other tilings trat “a dramatic club was sure to become a dance club if you used the proper limb (Propy-laeum.)” The point was a little slow in being taken, but had due credit later. Mr. Robert Martindale was interlocutor and steered the songs and jokes with steady oar. The jokes were clever. One that Mr. Clinton Hare had was. “What do you think will be the most popular play at the th >;iter next season?” Mr. Primwest, the middleman, ventured “When London SleMr. Hare insisted that it would be “When the United States Wakes Up.” Mr. Arba T. Perry and Mr. E. B. Martindale, jr., were etui men and were supported by H. R. Alien, jr., C. L. Hare. Meredith Nicholson, W. M. Taylor, W. A. Van Buren and E. E. Gates in astonishing costumes. The company included Messrs. Charles Martindale. Horace Hord, Harold Taylor. A. D. Gates. Clifford Arrick, W. B. Wheelock, Lynn B. Martindale. Merrill Moores John G. Wallick, Arthur T.

THE INDIANATOLIS JOURNAL. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 13, 1898.

TRICKY AS SPANIARDS EAH LHAiI TEAM SAID TO HAVE BE ATE \ lE I* At W BY KOI L, MEWS. (hanged with Springing it Forged Statement in the Income-Tux Delu te— State News. ♦ Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE, Ind., April It -There is no disposition at De Pauw to feel sore over the defeat of the debating team which represented the university in the late contest with Earlhum, but the De Pauw team and their supporters think that their opponents should have been fair in their arguments. The De Pauw team directly charge that the Earlham debaters were no fair and that they used and attributed a statement to prominent authority that was false in every respect. The De Pauw debaters quoted at length from the works of Richard T. Ely, professor of political economv in the University of Wisconsin, and made a strong argument that Professor Elv believed in an income tax. The De Pauw debaters had made an especial study of the works of Prof. Ely and thought tliat they wore thoroughly familiar with them, and at a critical moment and what they believe to have been the turning point in the debate they were dumfounded to have the following sprung on them by Air. Widup, the third debater for Earlham; “After rehearsing all the theoretical advantages of an income tax, Prof. Ely says; ’All this presupposes the tax to be equitably levied, and were this the condition, or even were this condition possible, no tax would be more in accordance with economic principles. No objections based upon general principles can be raised against the assessment and collection of a moderate income tax. based on incomes above what is necessary to existence, if it could be assessed equitably and justly, and if it could be collected with facility. But such a tax can exist only in theory, and when an attempt is made to put it in practice it becomes one of the most unequal taxes' that can he imposed. the difficulties being almost wholly in the assessment. Such a tax cannot, under any of the methods of assessment that have been suggested, be made an equal tax without raising up such a complex system of enforcement as to create insuperable obstacles to its collection.” After the debate was over and after De Pauw had acknowledged defeat, which was taken gracefully, the De Pauw debaters challenged the statement above quoted by the Earlhamites as coming from Professor Elv. The Earlham debaters claimed that they had made no mistake in giving their authority and in their private talk reiterated their statement of the platform that Professor Ely was the author of the quotation. The De Pauw debaters took the sheet that their opponents had quoted from and mailed it to Professor Ely, with a request that he say whether or not ho had ever said or written the quotation alleged to him by the Earlham team. A reply was received from Prof. Ely this afternoon, which is as follows: “University of Wisconsin, Madison, Win., April 11. “I hereby certify that I never said or wrote anything even remotely resembling the above statement, which entirely misrepresents my' views. I have said that I believed an income tax practicable and desirable and such is my present conviction. I cannot help feeling indignant that my views Should be so misrepresented. It is bad enough when newspapers invent interview's and attribute to a writer views the exact opposite of those which he entertain**. College students ought to be too high-minded to do such a thing. “RICHARD T. ELY.” Professor Ely wrote his reply in a footnote on the bottom of the original manuscript. which the Earlham debaters used on the platform and which is now in possession of the De Pauw students. The De Pjuiw' team state they have fio complaint to make over losing the debate, but they felt that the above statement attrllnied to Prof. Ely was .not true, anti their correspondence with' the professor sustains their belief. They further believe that the policy' pursued by Earlham was unscrupulous and a serious breach of intercollegiate etiquette. The Do Pauw Oratorical Assopiatbni at a meetfftg thfs'rilternoon passed resolutions condemning the’ tactics of Earlham.

FRANKFORT, Ind., April 13.—The Ninth district Populists held their congressional convention here to-day, npminating J. B. Clieadle, over Alonzo G. Burkhart, of Tipton, by a vote of 58 to 45. Much bitterness was engendered by the contest, and Mr. Burkhart, after the result had been announced from the floor of the convention, said he should feel deeeply the humiliation of appearing in the convention without the support of his own county, referring to Mr. Cheadle, Clinton county casting only four out of her seventeen votes for him. Tt was Cheadle’s county that placed Burkhart in nomination. The Cheadle men attempted to pass a resolution indorsing instead of nominating, w’hich was defeated by a decisive vote. A member of the Tipton delegation, in a speech seconding the nomination of Burkhart, declared there were hosts of Democrats in Tipton county who would refuse to support Cheadle on the ground that he once said he had spent four years of his life shooting Democrats.

OUR ASIATIC SQUADRON FLEET THAT MAY' SOON' BE BOMBARDING MANILA CITY'. Plenty of Coni Aboard and Ready to Dnih Across the Sea to the Philippines AYhen Ordered. •Copyright, lsys, by the Associated Press.) HONG-KONG, March 16.—0n Saturday, Feb. :.*•>. (iommudorc Dewey, commanding the United States Asiatic squadron, received important advices and orders from Washington, a consultation of commanding officers was held and prompt action was taken to collect the United States squadron at this port and put it in the highest possible state of readiness. The United States cruiser Concord, which had just arrived on this station, had been sent to Chemulpo, Corea, to relieve the cruiser Boston, which hail been lying there five months. Both these ships were ordered to proceed here with the utmost dispatch. The question of coaling the fleet in HongKong was a serious one. All the coal on hand in the ports of India, China and tho rest of the far East had been bought up by the British Admiralty, in anticipation of trouble with Germany or Russia. The Germans, had, however, secured 1,000 tons of Cardiff coal which was being held here for them. They cabled that day that they would not need the coal. The paymaster of the American fleet heard of this and promptly snapped it up. It was just about enough to fill up the bunkers of the United States cruisers Olympia and Raleigh ana the United States gunboat Petrel. This was got on board in rapid fashion, the ships coaling all night in some cases. Ail repair work on the engines ashore was stopped and everything was got in readiness to leave in a few hours. Since then the necessary daily expenditure of coal has been replaced promptly, so that the squadron has full bunkers all the time. When the American commodore cabled for the Boston and Concord, then lying off Chemulpo, the orders to come here were unexpected. Yet the two ships were able to start the next day (Monday, Feb. 38), and Friday morning the people of Hong-Kong were astonished to find that they had arrived at midnight, having made the run of over 1,300 miles in less than four days and at an average speed of over fourteen knots. This was a remarkable performance and the Boston carried off the honors. Commodore Dewey’s five cruisers are ready to sail in a few hours, and should the Spanish imbroglio lead to hostilities a dash across the China sea of seven hundred miles would put the United States fleet in possession of Manila. Although the Spaniards have seventeen vessels doing duty in these waters, most of them are in reality tugboats of three hundred tons displacement, with only tw T o modern cruisers of about three thousand tons. The latter could easily be handled by the Raleigh or Boston. At the close of the last revolution in the Philippine islands several of the old leaders sought an asylum in Hong-Kong. Promptly on the receipt of the news of the extremely strained relations between the United States and Spain these men disappeared from their old haunts in this city, and now a violent rebellion has broken out in the provinces near Manila. Immediately after the receipt of news of the outbreak the land wires between Manila and Bollnoas, where the cable lands from HongKong were cut. which rendered impossible the gathering of any reliable news of affairs in Manila. Five days ago a report came that an English telegraph operator had been shot by the insurgents near Bolinoas. The British cruiser Edgar, then lying at Hong-Kong, was hurriedly dispatched to investigate the matter. She is now in Manila, but has not made any report of affairs. On March 7 the squadron commanded by Prince Henry of Prussia arrived after Us long and vexatious cruise from Kiel. The prince flies the flag of a rear admiral from the old battle ship Deutschland, and has the cruiser Gefion in company with him. He has naturally been the subject of a great deal of curiosity, and lias been much feted officially and socially. Throughout it. all he has borne himself with such dignity and good fellowship that those who were inclined to smile have ended by admiring him and becoming loud in his praise. The fleets of all the powers in these waters are being strengthened enormously. Closely following the British first-class cruiser Powerful lias come the British battle ship Barfleur, with another battle ship, the Victorious, on her way out. A few days ago the powerful battle ships of Russia, the Navami and the Sissorg Valeki, arrived in Hong-Kong and are coaling before proceeding to Port Arthur. Their great first-class cruiser, the Rossia, in reply to which England had to build the Powerful, of slightly greater tonnage and spe.d, also arrived in station a few weeks ago. The French are sending a battle ship and a first-class cruiser. All sorts of vague rumors are passing about as to threatened revolts in .the interior of China, one of the most substantial being that the old Black Flags, who were disbanded after the late war between China and France, are gathering together to indulge in a revolt on their own account, if -certain old claims of theirs are not settled by the imperial government. Reports say that troops are being massed on both sides of the Tonquin-China border.

10,000 Rebels Under Arms. LONDON, April 12.—Special dispatches from Madrid say that advices received from the Philippine islands report that the rebellion there is increasing, and that 10,000 rebels are now under arms. Trouble is feared at Manila. DON’T LIKE IT. {Concluded from First Pane.) The ministerial folly cannot go any further or the Spanish arms rusting in Cuba will be freely used in the Puerta del Sol.” Continuing, the Imparcial urges the people to unite and “demand that the fleet be sent immediately to Cuban waters.” The Republican and revolutionary El Pais prints the following headlines on its front page: “The Solution of the Conflict is a National Government, a Military Dictatorship and a War with the United States.” Its leading editorial says that the conductors of the papers “putting party politics to-day in the background and thinking only of the fatherland urge the formation of a national government composed of Republicans. Liberals and absolute monarchists.” The editorial denounces the government for “meeting patriotic cries with sword cuts” and appeals to the people and the army to “save Spain from traitors.” El Correo, the official organ, to-night gives its first impressions since the reception of the cabled abstracts of President McKinley’s message, ft will say: “President McKinley's insistence on the right of American intervention in Cuba is little agreeable to Spain, while bis complaints against the prolongation of the war appears to impartial minds, steeped in bitter irony, in view of America’s assistance in causing the prolongation.” Attitude of Don Carlos. LONDON. April 12.—According to a special dispatch from Venice, Don Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne, has declared his intention to “hold aloof from hostile manifestations so long as the Spanish government upholds the honor of the nation.” otherwise he will "take stejvs he deems necessary to support the dignity of the country.” Don Carlos, in the course of his declaration of intention, said he feared the Pope’s authority was only used for the purpose of masking from the sight of proud people certain surrender of which the Spanish government would not dare take the initiative. “Put.” he said, “nobody will be deceived. What saddens me is that amid all these negotiations there is no certainty that our honor is quite safe.” Why the Armistice Was Granted. LONDON, April 12.—A special dispatch from Madrid says: “It was hoped the presentation of Senor Polo y Bernabe's memorandum In regard to the armistice would discount the effect of President McKinley's message. The German ambassador banqueted the diplomatic corps yesterday evening. Senor Gullon. the minister for foreign affairs, attended and the result of the ambassadorial conferences- was communicated to him.” * “STRONG, BI T TEMPERATE.” A Loudon View of President McKinley’* >1 i'hk- to Congee**. LONDON. April 12.—The afternoon newspapers here differ in their tstimates of President McKinley's message to Congress on the Cuban question. The Pail Mall Gazette regards it as strong hut temperate.

and says: “President McKinley is right in following the constitutional course of throwing on Congress the responsibility for national action, and there is no doubt what Congress’s answer will be. In our opinion it is too late to avoid war, as Spain is apparently determined to fight a hopeless battle rather than yield to dtmands which, though expressed by America alone, are in realitv the demands of an informal concert of the world s civilization.” The Globe expresses the opinion that ‘‘it is a message of abdication,” adding: "While the situation in Cuba is eminently unsatisfactory, it is a question whether Amtriean interference on the lines suggested is likely to improve matters. While the statesmen of the United States shrink from entertaining the alternative of annexation, they must not complain if their Cuban policy is condemned as combining a maximum of certain loss and a minimum of possible gain. The refusal to recognize the insurgents will not relieve the tension between the United States tujd Spain.” The Daily News says editorially this (Wednesday) morning: "We do not desire to detract from the credit that justP belongs to the Pope, but neither tHe spiritual nor temporal machinery of Europe would have been put in motion to stop the horrors in Cuba except for the action of tin* United States. A Weyicr would be invaluable in Armenia. There is nothing selfish in America’s resolve that Cuba shall be freed from her butchers and tormentors. If the Pope really desired peace he should exert his whole great influence with Spain, who cannot. in tho long run. disobey him. while Spain would not suffer humiliation in submitting to the pontiff, who has no physical force behind him.” The Times says: "Optimist critics of President McKinley’s message lose sight of the fact that in both Washington and Madrid those whose chief preoccupation—to say the least, is not the maintenance of peaceare playing with tire in a powder magazine. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee’s influence will tend to aggravate the bitterness felt for the loss of the Maine—a natural cause of suspicion and anger, but to blow the smoldering fires into flames at the present critical moment is a rash act, not easily to be condoned by the conscience of the civilized community.” George W. Smalley, the New York correspondent of the Times, concludes his dispatch to this morning’s issue by saying: "President McKinley has disturbed the constitutional balance of power. He has confused two branches of the government, the legislative and the executive, which the Uonstitution ordained should be strictly sustained. Till yesterday (Monday) we had an executive. To-day we have a President who declares himself the obedient servant of Congress. Anything may happen.” Opinions of French Editors. PARIS, April 12.—The Temps this afternoon, referring to President McKinley’s Cuban message to Congress, contrasts it unfavorably with President Cleveland’s Venezuelan message, which the Temps adds, "kept tho reins in the President’s hands.” Continuing, the Temps remarks: “President McKinley’s lengthy, gentle message seems to avoid a bellicose solution by interposing a sort of word buffer or cushion of phrases between the two parties. But, in reality, he may spoil everything by surrendering the direction to Congress, and thus reducing the chief magistrate of the Republic to the modest role of a public prosecutor or clerk of the court. Des Debats says: “The President's message to Congress, despite its soft spoken terms, is an affirmation of the right of the United States to intervene in Cuba.” The Republique Francais says: “That annexation is the sole object of the United States government is disclosed by the message.” As Viewed by Germnns. LONDON, April 12.—According to a special dispatch from Berlin the impression created at the German capital by President McKinley’s message to Congress was not very favorable. Its tone, the dispatch continues. is considered dilatory and us not promising peace. The politicians at Berlin, it appears, express the opinion that If tho President really had peaceable Intentions he would haVo acknowledged Spain’s concession of an armistice. The National Zeitung sums up what it alleges the total results of the HispanoAmerican negotiations of the last few days, saying: "Spain has given proof of her love for peace by proclaiming an armistice. President McKinley has also placed on record, his love tor peace, by avoiding submitting a direct ultimatum or impossible demands. The gain thereby is temporary." The Vossische Zeitung says: “The immediate danger of war has been deferred for some days, but there is question of its complete avoidance.”

OBITUARY. Cardinal Tasehereun, Well-Known Canadian Catholic Leader. QUEBEC, Quebec, April 12. Cardinal Taschereau died peacefully at 6:15 o’clock to-night, surrounded by many of his friends and the priests of his district. The aged prelate had been in poor health for many months, and his death had been looked for at almost any hour for the past three weeks. Cardinal Taschereau was bora at Ste. Marie de la Beauce, Quebec, on the 17th of February, 1820. He was a most precocious child, and was so far advanced in his studies that at eight years of age his parents entered him as a pupil at the Quebec Seminary, one of the most prominent Catholic educational in?fi tuitions in the Dominion. At the age of seventeen he was far enough advanced to undertake a journey to Rome in company with the Rev. Abbe Holmes, of the Quebec Seminary, and one year later received the tonsure at the hands of Mgr. Platti, archbishop of Trebizonde, in the Basilica of St. John Lateran. In the same year, 1837, he returned to Quebec, where he resumed his theological studies, and six years afterward, while still under canonical age, he was ordained driest. The ceremony was performed on the 10th of September, 1842, at the Church' of Ste. Marie de la Beauce, his native parish, by Mgr. Turgeon, afterward the successor of Archbishop Signai. He rapidly advanced in the church, and after being Archbishop of Quebec for years was made a cardinal a few years .ago. Capt. James Hal I ora n. VALENTINE, Neb., April 12.—Captain James Halloran, commanding Company F, United States Infantry, died very suddenly at Fort Niobrara this afternoon, aged fiftyeight. He has been in the service of the government over forty years, enlisting as a drummer boy. A wife and four children survive him. “BRANN NO. 2.” Another Texas Editor Foreed Into a Fatal Street Duel.
