Enarllah’n—“A Day mid ft Muht." “A Day and A Night” is another one of those rapid-fire plays which no farce writer In this country has ever been able to construct except Charles Hoyt. Its action goes with the dash and hurrah of the Rough Riders at San Juan hill, and the merry clip is maintained throughout three acts. There is more human interest than in some of Hoyt’s later productions, with the characters well maintained, until about the middle of the last act. When Otis Harlan, in the role of Marble Hart, the make-believe goodygoody boy, is finally exposed by the gay capers which are being cut at an aftertheater party of soubrettes, the human interest is somewhat sacrificed for the sake of vaudeville specialties. The merry clip then develops into a furious gallop of fun and the unity.” if such a thing is to be mentioned in a Hoyt piece, is thrown to the wind. There were a number of new faces on exhibition among the Hoyt forces at English’s last night and a number of old ones, all of whom are huge favorites here. The first act taking place on the stage of a New York theater during a morning rehearsal Introduces a number of novel situations which ouly a Hoyt would conceive. Lloyd Wilson, as the manager, and Ed Garvie, as the stage boss, with a figurative hammer for new aspirants, till their roles with as much art as any one could possibly require. They inspect the new soubrettes with much unction and put them throughtheir paces to the great delight of every one. Mae Lowrie made her first appearance here in the role of the retired actress and her interview with her old companion was by long odds the neatest bit of dramatic art shown during the entire play. Her joy at being back on the boards for a few minutes, her familiar badinage with the orchestri leuder, Handel Sehwein, the songs she sings and the little professional ways she simulates constitute a combination of farce and pantomime as finished as a French woman raised on the stage could possibly give. When William Devere, as Layon Hart, tin- retired commodore and father of Marble Hart, entered to take his part in the funmaking there was an outburst of applause which Resulted in the audience immediately wanting to the play as it had not done up to that time. Devere is a prime favorite In Indianapolis and his greeting was only less pronounced than that of Harlan when he come in later with one foot in the glass box. Clarissa Agnew. the clever soubrette in the role of lona Brougham, sang one of her dainty songs and helped out in tho bunch of pretty girls who served to keep ttdngs lively throughout the play. Florence Relda, as the singer Annette Winner, looking for a theatrical engagement, was another new' one in this city and her several songs all made popular hits. During the first two acts Otis Harlan keeps to his character of the young man from near Rahway, N. J., and his pantomime during all this time with such a flagrant exhibition of feminine loveliness tempting him to cut loose, furnishes continual entertainment. He discovers his bride-elect among the actresses who are supposed to be under examination as candidates for his choir and a number of extremely laughable scenes follow. Harlan does not sing a song until the last art and then when he throws away his umbrella and ’’dinky” derby and begins with “The Ammunition Van” burlesque he is kept in the center until live different ballads are given. Harlan is gifted with a personality that lnstuntly puts the audience in good temper and invariably has to drag himself away before the people are willing to let him depart. Hattie, Wells, the little toe dancer with “A Day and u Night,” made a hit by giving the cake walk on her toes and showing AtjeiS j the | sarsaparilla I which j made j 'j sarsaparilla i I famous I

other novel steps. There are almost as many musical members in the farce as in some comic operas and the lyrics are mostly written by Hoyt. There are a number of daring situations in the farce, but—well w'ait until “The Turtle” comes to town. “A Day and a Night” is not the greatest farce Hoyt has written, but if is a continuous entertainment and the audience that braved the 20-below-zero weather was repaid for turning out. It will remain at English’s the rest of the week with a Saturday matinee. Park—“ Cyrano He Bergerac.” Willard Newell’s “Cyrano” as presented at the Park yesterday was not only able to put to rout a hundred hired thugs as provided in Rostand's play, but with no little courage he faced a cynical Park Theater balcony and gallery packed with levee critics and turned a threatened riot of disapproval into a civilized audience of listeners, willing or unwilling. There were few seats unoccupied at the Park matinee when the curtain went up on this popularpriced production, and for a time it looked as if the audience had come with serious intentions. Toward the latter part of the act where Cyrano receives notice that Roxane desires to meet him in the baker’s shop in the next act the gallery gods, who had found little to their farce-comedy taste, began to grow restless and showed evidence of displeasure. During the second act the trouble came. The barbarians absolutely refused to take Cyrano seriously. They began a ’threatening chorus of coughs. Then a murmuring undertone of brutal intent was heard, and finally the disturbance became so proilounced that Mr. De Bergerac had to request Roxane to wait a bit while he made some remarks that reflected on the literary taste of Indianapol.s aud.ences. This “roast” provoked the crowd. It looked as if there might be real fight in Cyrar.o, and a fight means fun for the gallery at all times. The third act had not been on long before the grew very determined and ugly. There were significant “ahems” and coughs from all parts of the house and the bold pirates on the upper lioors made daring remarks, laughed mockingly, and when Cyrano entered for the famous balcony scene it was plain he must settle at once which was to give the show—audience or players. The play was about to be ridiculed off the stage when Mr. Newell ordered the scene stopped, had the lights turned up, and, tapping his sword impressively, declared that lie was there to stay. [Applause down stairs. “Take him out!” came from upstairs.] Cyrano never flinched. Part of the house was with him. He said he was giving the beautiful play for the education of those who could not pay high prices. [More applause and derisive laughter.] Cyrano fingered his sword hilt nervously. Raising his voice, he said if those who did not have enough gray matter in their skulls to understand the literary merit of the play attempted further interruption he would employ heroic means to subdue them. This speech brought the proper response from the lower part of the house, and the applause drovened out the ambitious disturbers upstairs. It was proof that Mr. Newell’s performance was acceptable to the thinking ones at least. From that time the house remained orderly, and there was a curtain call after the act, which the actor acknowledged as gracefully as Mansfiel 1 himself. Asa matter of fact, the production now at the Park is almost as good as could be expected at the prices. The gallery was not far wrong from its standpoint and the actors were also right from their ground. The players certainly attempted to give a serious performance, and the beauties of ’’Cyrarto" are such that even Mr. Newell’s production cannot entirely rob it of all merit. Had New’ell followed Ada Gray’s policy in “East Lynne” he would have won out with the gallery, but his motive Is evidently not to profane the play. There is only a feeble attempt to give a proper scenic production. This failure to help dignify the performance Is no doubt largely responsible for the cynical portion of the audience refusing to take the players seriously. The version of the play used is, of course, not the best. Many little touches that might give color, and tone, and dignity are absent, but even with that it is w’orth the price of admission. It is Interesting as a study, particularly for those who saw the Mansfield production. It is instructive to show' the difference by comparison if for no other reason. Mr. Newell reads the lines distinctly and even with a certain amount of Gascony flavor that is imitative of the great Mansfield. Some of his heavy speeches are good enough to suggest greater possibilities. His company merited better treatment than it received. Had Miss Vail de Vernon’s Roxane even approached Newell’s Cyrano probably there would have been less excuse for the liberties which the audience took with the play. An actor who reads his lines us well as Newell should be taken seriously, and no little benefit will be derived from the play by the many who will w’itness the performances the rest of the week. Last night Hi* 0 au(iei .l£ e touk mn re kindly to Newen s Cyrano. ] here were no interruptions and the play seemed to be enjoyed.

Notes of tlie Stage. Only three more performances of “Diplomacy” will be given by the Grand Stock Company—to-night and to-morrow matinee and night. The excellence of the production assures large houses. Henry S. Akward arrived yesterday in advance of Frohman’s Lyceum Theater Company, with James K. Haskett in “Rupert of Hentzau,” Anthony Hope's new piay, coming to English’s for one performance next Thursday night. Mr. Joseph Gavin, formerly manager of English’s Opera House, will leave to-night to Join Clay Clement as treasurer and personai manager back with the company. John Henry Martin, who bus been managing Mr. Clomt rst, will go in advance to look after tne newspapers and act as business manager. The property list for “Too Much Johnson” at the Grand next week calls for several boxes of especially mild cigars. Those who saw the comedy here three years ago will remember that Billings, the principal character, smokes incessantly during the three acts, lighting a fresh cigar for every lie he ls necessary to secure an extra mild flavored “smoke” for Mr. Hansel as xi ie l! w t s ihe eight performances of “Too Much Johnson ’ would be too much for the stock company's Fading man. Mr. Kirkic.i . yesterday at rehearsal that it this cold weather continued next week he would insist on having the property man use real whi ky ns e; n f P cold , a h• ” usually takes the place of the “real thing” on the stage.

Ed Adamson, Harvey Parker’s unknown, “made monkeys” of both his opponent and his audience last night at the Empire Theater. Only about fifty dyed-in-the-wool Wrestling enthusiasts were sprinkled throughout the house when the curtain went up, and the fact that there were only a few of them present apparently changed the programme of the match between Adamson and Frank Gehle from what it was originally intended to be. The extremely cold weather kept the betting sports- away from the theater, and w'agers were few and far between for the Adamson crowd. Harvey Parker came to the theater with a big wad of money, but the ease with which his man recently defeated Murbarger, coupled with the fact that Murbarger himself had beaten Gehle, scared the form bettors, and for a time it was impossible to secure a bet of any kind. This made a bad complication for the Adamson crowd, as the chief money there was in the match was in the chance of making bets on Adamson. In this emergency, when the two men came upon the mat for the first fall, Adamson simply laid down anil a.lowed Gehle to throw him, after what was apparently hard work, in ten and a half minutes, with a half Nelson dnd a crotch hold. Adamson seemed to be discouraged as he came fiom the mat, if his face could have been taken as an Indication of his feelings, and the conviction spread through the sum audience that Gehle had wonderfully improved in his work and that Adamson was not in good form. This was the thing which, it is claimed, the crowd had been planning for. Parker shook hi* head dubiously and said: “Well, that’s tough for sure.” In the meantime Adamson took a couple of good friends into his dressing room and peeled oft a few bills from a good-sized roll. Parker looked on encouragingly and said: “Get out among them and see if you can’t get it on.” On the apparently remarkable showing made by Gehle, who is well liked in this city, the agents succeeded in placing some money, and then Adamson showed his hand for what is w’as worth. He went at Gehle from the start, and before the other realized that he was wrestling Adamson had his man on the mat, helpless in the grip of a half Nelson and a hammer lock. Both of Gehle’s shoulders touched the mat in u minute and three-quarters. In the last fall Parker suggested to Adamson that he “go slow" and “give them a run for their money,” and, following out Ms instructions. Adamson loafed on the mat for about six minutes. Then someone in the audience yelled out: "Let her go, Ed; we’ve had our money’s worth!” and Adamson at once replied by getting a half Nelson on Gehle, which he speedily transformed Into a double Nelson and pressed Gehle’s shoulders slowly down to the mat for the second time. The ease with which the last two falls were taken by Adamson showed conclusively that the first one had been “given away.” How much the Adamson crowd cleaned up on the trick is not known, but it is safe to say that the followers of the game who were gulled by the first fall did not appreciate the trick so much as the Adamson contlntent.

City Attorney Kern Drafts It—To Be Introduced To-Day. City Attorney Kern has drafted the amendment to the city charter by which the Council has asserted it expects to force the railroads to elevate tracks. The amendment will be introduced into the House to-day. It is a* follows: “Add to that clause of Section 23, under the head of ’Railroads’ (which provides that the f'ouncil shall have power to—), the following: “ ’And to compel railroad companies to elevate their railroad tracks v/iihln such city, so that the same shall be at suen height above ail streets, alleys and avenues crossing the same that travel on such streets, alleys and avenues shall not be hindered, interrupted nor imperiled. " ‘To provide plans and specifications for such elevation, to fix the limits w ithin which such elevation or any part thereof shall be made, and to provide such penalties and forfeitures as will insure compliance with any cuch ordinance.’ ” MUST CO SLOW. (Concluded from Firm! Page.) half of the ways and means committee! explained that the bill was to prevent double taxation. Bills were also passed to grant to the Fort Smith (fc Western Railroad Company a right of way through the Choctaw and Cherokee Indian reservations: to grant a right of war through the Nesperces reservation in the State of Idaho; to permit homesteaders in Florida driven from their homes by the storm of September, 1896. to return within one year and perfect title to their homesteads; to construct a bridge across the Monongahela river at Morgantow'n, W. \ r a.; to grant to Boulder, Col., I,BLK> acres of land in the mountains for a park; to remove the existing disability of ex-Confed-erata which prevents them from sitting on federal, petit and grand Juries (this was the last of the political disabilities of exConfederates to be removed); to reimburse George W.

LIVELY DEBATE IN SENATE. Populist Allen Arouses Messrs. Allison ii nd Chandler. WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—Throughout its open session to-day the Senate had under consideration the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. A lively debate was precipitated over the appropriation for the support of the office of the supervising architect of the treasury and that official was criticised for the delay in the construction of public buildings throughout the United States. A speech made by Mr. Allen, of Nebraska, in which he commented unfavorably upon the methods of the appropriations committee, induced a rejoinder from Mr. Chandler, Which resulted in a sharp tilt between the two senators. Fiftyone pages of the pending bill were disposed of before the Senate went into executive session for the remainder of the day. During the debate Mr. Allen commented on the paragraph making appropriations for odds and ends of office needs. Many of them, he thought, were suspicious. Turning from this subject he inquired why there was no mustering out. of major generals, brigadier generals, adjutant generals and paymasters who had been appointed for the war with Spain and who were now “sitting around Washington, toasting their feet, eating, drinking and being merry at the expense of the government.” Mr. Allison, chairman of the appropriations committee, replied: “I have no special knowledge of the utility of major generals and other officers to whom the senator refers, but I take it they are engaged in the work laid out for them about a year ago. W hen the army bill is reached the senator can make his point. The bill provides only for the civilian employes of the government in Washington." Mr. Allen declared that the number of these employes could be largely decreased. “There are ten thousand persons in the employment of the government in this city who are not rendering an hour’s service to the government in a year.” Mr. Allison—l do not think there are so many employes in Washington as that. Mr. Allen—l should think there are about 50 ,<OO. Mr. Chandler— There are just about 10,000. Mr. Allen, continuing his criticism, declared that the farmers and working people of the country were paying taxes “to support these worthless creatures.” Mr. Chandler, in replying to Mr. Allen, said there were doubtless extravagances in the government service and perhaps too many employes, but the ‘charge of the Nebraska senator was altogether too general to have any effect either in the Senate or in the country. “The senator,” said Mr. Chandler, "has been here almost six years and in all that time has not made a. proposition for a single specific economy.” Mr. Allen explained that not having had the ear of the appropriations committee, he had never had the opportunity. Mr. Chandler—l have heard that the senator was a modest man, but I never discovered it except in his own utterances. Mr. Chandler then declared that Mr. Allen's periodical “diatribes” had been general in their terms and not so direct as to be useful, Mr. Allen—l hope the senator will withdraw that word “diatribes.” Mr. Chandler—l will. And I will substitue for it the term “periodical admonitions.” [Laughter.] At the opening of the session the following bills were passed: Authorizing the Sioux City & Omaha Railway Company to construct and operate a railway through the Omaha & Winnebago reservation in Thurston county, Nebraska: to restore to their original status as to promotion officers of the navy and marine corps who lost numbers by reason of the advancement of other officers for exceptional and meritorious service during war with Spain; authorizing the Aransas Harbor Terminal Railway Company to construct a bridge across the Corpus Christi canal, in Texas, and for the purchase and construction of a launch for the customs service at Astoria, Ore., to cost not more than $2,500.

WILL FIGHT THE BILL ANTI-ADMINISTRATIONISTS TO MAKE WAR OX ARMY NGARRE. Shnrp Expected in the Senate— Propos'd Curtailment of the Copyright Privilege. 4. WASHINGTON. Fob. 9-The subcommittee of the Senate committee on military affairs having the army reorganization bill in charge has made such progress with the bill as to feel practically certain of being able to report to the full committee tomorrow. The bill as it passed the House has been changed in only a few particulars. It is not expected that the committee will hold it long, and a strenuous effort will be made to secure action by the Senate during the present session. The indications are that the bill will become the basis of a spirited controversy in the Senate. While the friends of tho bill and of the administration will make a determined effort to get the bill acted upon, the opposition express as determined a purpose to antagonize them in this policy. Their purpose is to meet the bill with a proposition for a temporary expedient to be added as an amendment to the army appropriation bill. They express a willingness to Insert an amendment authorizing the President to till out the regiments authorized by the existing law so as to bring the army up to 64.0t.Nf men, this force to be maintained until July 1, i.w. They further stipulate that the extra force snail be stationed outside the boundary lines of the United States. t The Post to-morrow will say: The at my reorganization bill must pass or the President will call en extra session of Congress. The opposition to the bill in the Senate has already been frequently referred to in tne Post, and the prediction made that some compromise would be agreed upon whereby legislation of a temporary character would be placed upon the army appropriation bill. This will not satisfy the administration, No makeshift expedient will be accepted. Ihe President has determined that the passage of the army bill shall be made an issue, and there is no doubt in administration circles that he will be successful. If, however, any obstacle should prevent, action an extra session will surely be held. The conditions which have arisen leave no other course to be pursued by the President. A decision was yes erday rendered by the attorney general to the effect that as soon as the ratifications of the peace treaty are exchanged the volunteer soldiers can 110 longer be retained in service. This is also true, the attorney general holds, of the additional regulars who w r ere enlisted for the war with Spain. Consequently without the desired legislation the President will find himself with an army reduced from 65,000 to 25,000 men.” * ♦ * The President has appointed George M Curtis, of lowa, In place of Lieut. Col. Curtis Guild as one of the three experts ,to act as examiners in the War Department and having to do with insular affairs. It was stated at the department after Colonel Guild had dedlined the position that no other appointment would be made, but Mr. Curtb was appointed on the recommendation of Senator Allison as a thoroughly competent and well-versed individual for the place. The three gentlemen in question will start at once for Santiago de Cuba to report on the franchises and concessions in that part of the is.und which have been temporarily, at least, held up by the proclamation of General Brooke. The examiners’ report will include the facts in the case and such recommendations as they see tit to make. Final action will be taken on this report by the War Department. After clearing up th franchise question they will proceed with whatever other matters may be referred to them by the department.

An order has been issued by the War Department in regard to furloughs to be granted to soldiers. The commanding officer of a regiment or a detached troop, battery or company in the field may grant furloughs not exceeding twenty days at one time to 5 per cent, of the enlisted men present. Brigade commanders may approve such lurloughs and giant them tor a like length of time to any men under their command or.extend funoughs not to exceed twenty days. Division commanders may grant furloughs for thirty uays or extend them to that length. The commanding officer of a corps or of a separate command in the held may suspend the granting of furloughs in any or ail organizations under his command whenever he deems it advisable. Corps or department commanders may grant furloughs to enlisted men, sergeants of the post, noncommissioned staff excepted, for two months and the commanding general of the army for four months, or they may extend to such periods furloughs already granted. * * * The administration of the postal service in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phillippines is being well advanced in the plans for reorganization and installation of modern methods. William H. Elliott, of New Castle, Ind., who has been appointed by Acting Postmaster General Heath, as director of posts of Porto Rico, with functions similar to an assistant postmaster general, will leave next Wednesday for San Juan, to assume charge.

Rhodes, a prominent young attorney of this city, who for eight years prior to 1897 was deputy district attorney here, died at St. Luke’s Hospital this morning as the result of wounds indicted by himself .last Tuesday afternoon. At 10 o’clock to-night Mrs. O.ga Lavrenius, a young Russian widow, understood to have been Rhodes’s fiancee, shot and instantly killed her ten-year-old son and then sent a bullet through her own brain. The tragedies of Tuesday and tonight botli occurred at the Arno, a fashionable hotel, where Rhodes and Mrs. Lavrenius have boarded for several mon.hs. The cause of Rhodes’s act is not known. He was a bright attorney, with good prospects and very popular. Tuesday afternoon he was found in his room by his friend, John St Mosby, jr., son of the famous Confederate general, rapidly sinking from loss of blood caused by a deep gash in each arm and each leg. He was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital, where he lingered till this morning, chough always expressing the wisn to die. Mrs. Lavrenius attended him at tne hospital until his deatn, whicn she took with seeming composure. To-night, alter her little son was asieep in his bed, sne shot him through the head and then turned her weapon upon herself. Rhodes was a Kentuckian, belonging to one of the best families in that State. Mrs. Lavrenius was a beautiful woman, thirtythree years old, and highly uccompnsned. She was a Nihilist, and. with her husband, was several years ago sentenced to hie imprisonment in Siberia. Five or six years ago they were pardoned by the Czar, and carne to this country, locating first in Chicago, but four years ago coming to Denver, where Lavrenius became a student at tho Denver Medical College. Two and a half years ago he died of Bright’s disease. They are said to have belonged to a wealthy family, and have always received liberal remittances from Russia. It is believed by some of Rhodes's friends that his suicide and that of the woman was the result of Nihilistic ideas with which the latter is said 10 have imbued the young attorney.
