The Carpetbagger." a polished romantic comedy, -with Tim Murphy as star, went over the boards laM night at English's before a fairly good-sized house. The play itself is" so well known and worn that it is of no u.e to go Into its merits. Suffice it to say that it turned out to be a one man's play and a successful one at that. Mr. Murphy, gave a splendid impersonation of Melville Crane. Governor of Mississippi. The character of this greedy, unscrupulous, and yet not altogether bad man stood out In high relief. This Is the man who pretends to know no difference between a statesman and a politician and Is the fame man whom a good and true woman helps to regain selfcstcem and conycler.ee. Unfortunately, people do not take much stock In reformers on or off the tage and this serious proposition stands In the way of a complete success. Nevertheless Mr. Murphy brought out his part In a convincing manner convincing for the time and .was the recipient of wellearned applause. A part, of thto loud appreciation Induced Mr. Murphy to step before the curtain and say a few words, i. e., to tell a story about a checkroom where canes, cloaks and babies could be checked. In view of prevailing circumstances it would do no harm to also check curtain speeches and take them out in case of emergency only.Mr. Murphy's story, however, may be accepted, for it was a good one. Dorothy Fherrod. the Governor's daughter, ha a somewhat secondary part. In the third act she drew much applause by her pretty acting when surprised by her father. In this connection her canine companion must-not be overlooked, who. carefully watching his cues, rcored a point in his favor by his well-timed ferocious barking. Mrs. Falrburn (Miss Charlotte Lambert) pleased the audience in hr symoathetlc role, while Miss Mathilde Wetting as the little adventurous lobbyist won praise through her enticing manners. The other parts were sufficiently handled to back Mr. Murphy. .An improvement could be made in the way of better scenic arrangement. It does not look well to use the national flag as curtains and It offends the eye to see modern furniture in a room of 1S67. It would also be h betterment to replace the red curtains1 in the second and fourth acts by those more in harmony with the green wall paper and dangerously blue moonlight. It would lend the whole performance more harmony and Mr. Murphy's fincere and strong work aurcly merits all assistance In that line. Irving and Company Arrive. NEW YORK. Oct. 2 Among the pas-. icngers who. arrived to-day on board the steamer "Marquette, from London, were Henry Irving and his company, comprising fifty-six persons, among whom were Miss KUen Terry.

WANTS THE WAR ENDED

r Jin. t t l.LOM SAYS TIIEnE SHOULD BE DELAY IV THE niILirriES. The Senator Not Hopeful of Securing Interstate-Commerce Legislation in Consre ThU Winter. WASHINGTON, Oct. 26. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who arrived here to-day, to re main probably until Congress assembles. In an interview to-day with a Post reporter, when asked about the feeling of the people of his section toward Imperialism, replied: "I don't know that it ought to be called imperialism. We are all for rutting down this insurrection In the Philippines, and we don't want any fooling about it. We do not only want to put down the Insurrection, but we are for keeping the islands after we have fully established our authority there. This sentiment is not confined to any one party." The senator said he was not in favor of any radical legislation at the erproaching session of Congress. Regarding interstatecon.merce legislation he said: "We shall have a number of measures to consider by the committee on Interstate commerce. There seems to be quite a demand for some amendment to the interstate-commerce law f ron different quarters, particularly to allow the railroads certain, latitude in the making of contracts with each other. With a divided committee, as is the case at present, it is very ditticult to accomplish much in the way of legislation." . ' Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Spaulding has issued; a circular letter of instructions to collectors of customs amending the former rulings of the department so as to permit the entry without detention, under the act of Dec. 29, 1S97, of sealskin garments worn by persons temporarily visiting the United States from Canada.- Under the new ruling persons arriving from Canada with fur skin garments, who declare their intention of returning within ninety doys, will be required to execute an alfldavlt to that effect before a United States consul. Under the act of 1897 the Importation of sealskin garments is prohibited unless accompanied by an invoice, certified by a United States consul, to the effect that the skins were not taken from sea's killed in prohibited .waters. It la said that the strict enforcement of these regulations has resulted In great annoyance to Canadians coming across the border to attend social functions and intending to return the same evening, as well as to the traveling public generally, hence the modification. Thero was no meeting of the Philippines commission to-day. Professor Worcester, who arrived last night, was at tho State Department, where he was joined by Col. Denby, and the two had a conference. Admiral Dewey and Professor Schurman did not appear, but it is expected Mr. Schurman, who has been summoned by telegraph, will Join his nssoclates to-morrow. Professor Worcester, when asked If the members would present Individual reports as well es a general one, said he had heard nothing of individual reports and understood there would be but one report, signed by all the members. . The- Mexican ambassador, Senor Azpiros, has received word that two Americans were killed and two Mexican gendarmes were wounded in the border clash, near Naco, Mex., the other day. The ambassador called at the State Department to-day, accompanied by Mr. Romero, his secretary, and had a talk with Assistant Secretary Hill. Assurances of regret were expressed over the affair and both sides have taken steps in sending troops to the scene which are considered ample to maintain peace and stop border ruffianism. Secretary Root has ordered a company of United States troops from Hauchuca to Naco. The secretary, of war , and ,a' number of prominent officials will leave here to-morrow night- for New York to Inspect the United States troopship Thomas, said to be the finest ship of the kind afloat. Though the State Department an invitation has been extended to the military attaches of foreign embassies and legations here to accompany the secretary and view the ship. Mr. Sewall has notified the State Department that H. E. Cooper, at present attorney general of Hawaii, has been appointed minister of finance ad interim. To-day's statement of the condition of the treasury shows: Available cash balance, $293,103,102; gold reserve, $253,SS7,225. The Texas authorities have appealed to the State Department for ,aid in the effort to secure the extradition of Leonardo Gonzales, now held under arrest in Porfirio Diaz, Mexico, on a charge of assaulting and murdering an American woman named Mrs. P. Laura, at Sanderson, Tex. The federal Judge at Porfirio Diaz, before whom the Texas writ was brought, it is said, has recommended to the executive of Mexico that the extradition be refused on the ground that the man is a Mexican. The American authorities point to the surrender of Mrs. Rich, an American, to the Mexican authorities, under extradition, and ask that the same course be followed by the Mexican Judge. Under the new treaty the discretionary power to surrender a citizen to the other country is reposed entirely in the executive, so that President Diaz will have to decide the case. The State Department has responded to the appeal from Texas by Instructing United States Ambassador Powell Clayton, at Mexico City, to take up the subject. . Naval officers are looking forward with interest to the coming experiments the department is to make with the Marconi system of wireless telegraphy. Arrangements have been made between representatives of the Bureau of Equipment, of which Admiral Bradford i9 the head, and Mr. Marconi, by which the department will bear the expenses to "w hich the inventor may be put In conducting the experiments. They are to be under tho direction of a board of officers, of which Lieutenant Commander Newton and Lieutenants Hill and Bliss, all electrical experts, are members. The cruiser New York and the battleship Massachusetts are to bo used for the experiments, the Naveslnk light station, on the New Jersey highlands, being utilized as the shore station to which the messages will be transmitted fron the ships at sea. The first trip of the vessels to sea probably will be made on Saturday If the apparatus necessary for conducting the experiments can be properly rigged up by that time. The experiments will be made in all kinds of weather, at variable distances and while the sea is calm as well as rough, the purpose being to give the system a thorough trial. The officers of the department made a study of the exfieriments with the wireless telegraphy durng tho yacht races, but as yet have made no official report on the subject. The several committees of the Isthmian canal commission are working dally at their rooms In the Corcoran building. All the members of the committee which went to Paris to Investigate the records and surveys of the French Panama Company, have returned to the city, except General Ernst. The advance survey rarties sent to the isthmus are at work, with the exception of the party which is to examine the routes below Panama, and it will be dispatched shortly. The commission itself will not leave the United State until December. The members will make a personal inspection of all the suggested routes, those not heretofore completely surveyed, as well as the Nicaragua and Panama routes. It is believed that this examination will consume at least three months, so that the committee will not return to the United States until March. But inasmuch as all the preliminary work in connection with the treaties, contracts, examination of official surveys, etc., is being done in advance, the commission, on its return, can begin the preparation of its report immediately. "I think we will be able to submit a report," said Senator Pasco to-day. "in time for Congress to act at the approaching cession." "Women CanvHiicro. New York Evening Sun. The up-to-date weman canvasser is to be admired for her assurance, yet there are several points that might be given to her by the women the favors with her calls that should tend toward her ultimate success. If one were writing a guide for women canvassers she would begin with the advice "Don't gush." It may please the woman with a book to tell to indulge in sentimentality, but the effect upon the other woman is hardening- To be greeted bf an utter stranger .with a series of "my dears" doesn't appeal to the woman of sense. She comes with nothing more reprehensblo in her hand than her money

purse, but she owns nockets. Women In other lines of businei. ; seem to have no difficulty in cultivating a clear, concise. business manner, and" why the feminine book agent should feel it necessary to cling to an affectation and general sioppiness of manner is a mystery. She may consider it winning, but if so that Is just where she makes a mistake. Once In a while one finds a thoroughly likeable, because sincere woman, who is following the career of a book agent, and who announces her Intentions at the door. Sue gets good wishes In plenty, and orders, too. But as to the other type. "Even if I wanted the book." a woman says, "I shouldn't feel like ordering it from a person who intrudes In the guise of a caller, sends up word that an old friend wants to see me and then brings to light the volume from the depths of her capacious pocket." The culprit ought to see the force of the argument. BRUMBY ALSO GIVEN A SWORD Dctrey'i Flaff Lieutenant Honored ly the People of Geornla.

EPISCOPALIANS ADJOURN. Missionary Council Conclude Its Labora at St. Louis. ST. LOUIS, - Oct. 26. The Missionary Council of the Protestant Episcopal Church completed all of its business at the morning session to-day. In the afternoon the delegates1 visited the Woman's Auxiliary and heard missionary addresses from the women, while the evening was given to the i closing addresses of the council and a fare-' well social meeting of those who. In three days' time, had become like old friends, although many of them were total strangers at the beginning of the council's sessions. The report of the committee on the American church building fund commission awakened more enthusiasm in the council than usual. Three recommendations were made, and it waa a round these that the discussion centered. The first recommendation was thit the charter of the commission be so changed as to permit assistance in the building of rectories as well as churches. Second, that the rate of interest charged cn loans be changed from "6 per cent." to "not to exceed 5 per cent." Third, that every parish be requested to take at least one offering each year for this fund. The reEort was adopted making 5 per cent, the ighest limit. Methodist Foreign Missions.

Marion Crawford stating that he will visit this country the first part of November. The author comes direct from Rome for the purpose of consulting with the actress concerning the final scenes of the play he is writing for her. Speaking of the visit she and her mother paid Mr. Crawford, last summer, in Italy, Miss Allen recently said: "I really had quite an interesting and amusing experience last summer in connection with the Inception of the play which is to begin In a novel. That is to say, Mr. Crawford is to write a novel for the special purpose of turning It into a play, which latter duty will be performed by Lorimer Stoddard. Original Idea, isn't it, this writing a story specifically to be transformed Into a play? But that is not the only novelty of the situation. Mr. Crawford Insisted that I should come to Italy and pose for the new heroins and I had to do it. He is such a determined, earnest sort of man that there is no such thing as refusing, but really I felt a little foolish sitting there to be mentally photographed, and almost expected the operator to say, 'Now look pleasant.' I found Mr. Crawford very alert and Interesting and thoroughly posted in many arts and sciences. He pretended, perhaps for his own entertainment, to be very much absorbed in palmistry, and during one of the 'sittings' looked at my palm. After a careful scrutiny he exclaimed; 'That's no woman's hand-that's a man's hand.' Imagine -my feelings." Advertising Wisdom.

PECK OF SILVER DOLLARS

MRS. KATE WILDER CROSS MADE HAPPY BY CATTLE BREEDERS. Her Hereford Cult Purchased for 110, nnd the Sale Ring: Flooded with a Shower of White Coin. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 25. Dollars rained for three minutes in the sale ring at the Hereford show to-day. it was the culmination of a scene that was entirely foreign to a stock eale. The money was for Mrs. Kate Wilder Cross, widow of the late Charles S. Cross, founder of the Sunny Slope (Kan.) stock farm, and one of the most noted breeders In the country. When Cross last fall found that he could no longer keep up under the weight of debt which wrecked hira and the Emporia National Bank, of which ho was president, he shot himself. His widow promptly turned over to his, creditors all that she possessed. Finally one calf, Bonnie Trlnce, a Hereford of fine lineage, reverted to Mrs. Cross. She to-day put the animal up for sale. When Auctioneer Colonel Woods asked for bids an offer of 00 was made. Immediately a spirited contest began, the representative of Marshall Field, of Chicago, finally bidding $000. Then Colonel Slaughter, of Fort Worth, Tex., stepped into the ring, throwing a silver dollar in the sawdust near where Bonnie Prince stood, and called on those present to "throw in a dollar as a little present for the brave little woman." Dollars fairly rained, and when they were later gathered up they filled a peck measure. Then Mrs. Pauline Whitman, whose late husband, C. N. Whitman, was one of the great Hereford breeders of the country, offered to' add 5300 to the highest price bid for Bonnie Prince. It was announced that Marshall Field's representative had offered 5910 for the calf, which, with Mrs. Whitman's $200, made $1,110. Field was declared to be the purchaser. Fancy prices were again the rule at today's sale, and many high-bred Hereford's were disposed of. Colonel Slaughter, of Fort Worth, Tex., paid the highest price of the day, giving $1,9j0 for Aaron, a calf just a year and a day old, owned by W. S. Van Natta & Son, of Fowler, Ind. Babe of Alamo, a handsome three-year-old cow, was knocked down to Frank Rockefeller, of Cleveland, O., for $1,600 after spirited bidding. She was sold by John Sparks, of Reno, Nev., who yesterday paid $2,500 for the blooded helff r Armour Kose. Beau Donald, the eighth calf, was sold by W. H. Curtice, of Eminence, Ky., to P. C. Rohme. of Fort Worth, Tex., for $1,200. Colonel Slaughter dropped out after bidding $1,125. TRADE WITH OTHER LANDS. Addresses by Foreigners nt the Commercial Congress. PHILADELPHIA. Oct. -Enrique Alzamora, delegate from Majorca, Spain, was the first speaker at to-day's session of the International Commercial- Congress. The subject of his paper was "Trade with Spain." He said In part: "Referring to the export trade of the United States with Spain, I have no doubt that the sum of $9,077,000 jShown by the official statistics for the last fiscal year could Increase considerably -f the American goods, which to-day are less known In Spain than are Spanish articles in the United States,' were systematically introduced into the Spanish markets. But It la not enough that the United Statc3 products be as good and as cheap as those of other nations. It is also necessary that the other countries be willing to open their doors to American goods." Senor Alzamora said it was unfortunate that Spain had no direct and easy means of transportation between the nations, the trade being by way of France, Italy or England, causing great , loss of time and large Increase in expense. Richard Kuoller, delegate from Austria, delivered an address upon Austria-Hungary, and was followed by Dr. Alexander Von Dorn, delegate from Vienna, on "The Promotion of International Commerce Between America and Europe." Mario Salvini, delegate from Florence, Italy, spoke oa "Arts and Artistic Industry." Frederick E. Emory, chief of the Bureau of Commerce of the State Department, epoke briefly on the question of the reform of the consular service. He said that however much criticism may be made upon our present consular service, it is a fact well recognized at home and abroad that in matters of trade and industry the American consular officers have been found to possess in an eminent degree that business instinct which enabled them to obtain the most valuable information for the merchants and manufacturers of the United States. DOER BIAXIVERS. Some Interesting: Stories of the GodFearing; South Africans. New Tork Commercial Advertiser. In the winter the trek Boers, owing to the want of grass on the high veld, take their catle to the low country to feed. Many of them go Into Zululapd, and, by arrangement with the chiefs, their herds are allowed to graze on the Zulu pastures. This season, owing to the political crisis, the Boers have had to return home before the grass had come up in the Transvaal, and have In many cases perforce left their cattle behind. Therefore, to prevent the Zulus from stealing the beasts, or neglecting them, a number of the gentle Boers in the Mahlabatinl district have forcibly abducted as many of the Zulu children-as they could lay hands on; so that if anything happens to the cattle something will happen to the children. These farmers belong to the Utrecht and Vryheld districts. A young man who was acting as mining commissioner at Krugersdorp committed a little error by appropriating to his own uses rome 1,500 of public money. His name was Nicholas Smlt, and after the discovery of the false step he decamped, and was absent from duty it is said in Mozambiquefor some weeks; his father, also a public official, repaid about half the money, and the prodigal returned to his post. President Kruger shortly afterward visited the dorp to talk over matters with the burghers, whereupon one of them, also an officeholder, asked his Excellency if officials of the state were allowed to steal the public money, to run away, and then come back and be reinstated? Tije critical citizen added, in that free and easy way in which they are accustomed to converse with the head of the state, that, as a good deal of the republic's cash passed through his hands, he would like to know whether he could help himself. "Tell us," replied the genial President, "how much you have taken" and then his Honor Joined in the Homeric laughter which this refined witticism evoked. But the stern republican was not to be put off, he insisted on knowing whether Nick Smlt as everybody called him had not stolen the state's money tnd gone unpunished. Well." retorted the forgiving President, "I don't know anything .about the stealing, but he was away without leave, and has been fined 25 for it." There the matter might have ended, but there happen to be a few ultlanders In Krugersdorp, and these, with the more respectable burghers, did not relish the repeated references in the Critic to the "unpunished thief," and they kept remonstrating. So, to make things pleasant all round, the revered President removed the mining commissioner to Potchefstroom and gave him a better salary. Subjoined is a literal transcript from the report of the first Volksraad of Aug. Petitions from various districts with 3 signatures were read, praying" that a law hould be passed immediately prohibiting the reappointment in the state's service of officials who had been dlsmised for embezzlement, fraud and so on. The memorialists said it frequently happened that officials were dismissed for embezzlement and were subsequently promoted to a higher position in the civil service, to which .procedure they objected. The memorial commission suggested that these petitions shou!d bo referred to the government with Instructions to publish a draft law as prayed and fubmit it to the Raad next year. The commission's report was carried. An Orange Free State burgher in reply to the assertion that the administration of his republic was more honest than that of the Tranrvaai said: "Yes; we are not so bad as they are. but it's easy being honest where there's nothing to steal." In the case of a postmaster in the Transvaal put on trial recently for misappropriation of government funds merciful Boer jurists acquitted the erring official on the ground that, "after all. he had stolen only 4Y) and he might have taken 2.000." A fellow-feeling makes; us wondrous kind. The pious.

'' THE SALE OF HOUSE MEAT. Agricultural Department Expert ments to Detect It In Food Products. Washington Letter in New York FcmeL The chemistry division of the Department of Agriculture has undertaken an investigation of horse meat, to ascertain whether there is any way to distinguish between that article and beef when the y are in the form of sausages or canned goods. Since General Miles stirred up the "embalmed beef" question there have been numberless reports that horse meat waa regularly told in this country as beef. Inquiry developed the fart that eeveral firms slaughter and dress horses, two or three now being under federal inspection. Most of them are situated In the far Western States, though there aro one or two in Chicago, which are not under inspection. All the concerns assort that they sell their entire product abroad. "When canned or made into Bausage, It is very difficult to tell horse meat from beef." said Dr. II. W. Wiley to-day. "It ! the purpose of the present experiments to decide whether there is any microscopic or other test which will detect horse meat In theie forms. When freshly killed It 1 not hard to distinguish. We will make sausages of horse meat and of beef mixed with horse meat. We will also can it Just as beef is canned; then the cans will be opened, ar.d all manner of tets applied to ?c whether any chemical changes have been produced by the canning operations which effectually disguise the product. If it Is found to tj possible to detect horse meat when mixed with other meats. It will be a simple matter ta compel the dealers to label the product in whatever market it is old, should turh action be deemed desirable and the necessary legislation forthcoming. Good ttor?e meat is not a bad or unsavory dish. Vast qu-jitltles are eaten in France, generally tinder some other name. 1 have r.o doubt I have eattn it myself in some of the cheaper cafes in Iarl3. When they sell you a dinner with wine for fifteen cents. It Is evident that cheap articles must be utilized. "Most of the horses slaughtered in this country have come from California and Washington. At least, the slaughtering establishments are there, and the hordes aro drawn from the country around. During the last year or fo the industry has falUrt off considerably, on account of the increafdl value of horses oucd by the war. When I was In California four years aqo I saw a herd of L5J0 horses sold at J5 a head. They were all good horse-, three-year-olds, sound and well bred. They came from the Mg ranches and had been raised for dcmetio use, but there was no demand for them. The coming of electricity as a motive power oa street railroads destroyed one of the principal markets. But the price is now gettlr. above the killing mark, except for Inferior stock."

Tho Vransvaal is a small republic and the Boers aro a pastoral people, tut, it Is quite possible that neither f these farts ought to be regarded as proof that the Boer aro right In everything they do.
