"Through the Breakers," Owen Davis's thrilling melodrama of life on the rocky coast of England, made Its second annual appearance at the Park Theater yesterday afternoon. Although the play is not provided with as good a company as last season, the audience at yesterday's matl net seemed to scarcely notice this fact. Tha play itself iä cleverly constructed, tells an Interesting story of love and villainy and has a number of exciting: climaxes, and after all these are the things that bring success in the melodramatic field. J. II. Cossar as Peter Turner, the scoundrelly leading citizen, was by far the beat member of the company. Ills acting was so :oou that it seemed a pity that he should receive little else than hisses in return. A few In the audience showed their appreciation by clapping their hands enthusiastically In an effort to drown out the distressing sounds that so strongly suggest a den of reptiles provoked to lury. Charles Stewart as James Thorndike, the closo friend and ally of Stephen Douglas, horo of the play, was also worthy cf special mention. Edwin Trevor Impersonated Stephen Douglas in an uneven ruanner. In the great struggle In the bedroom at the cioso of the third act he was excellent. This situation, which showed Douirla3. a telegraph operator, calling for assistance by . rapping certain words on the head of the bed, brought forth a veritable tumult of applause and cheers. The beautiful view of the smugglers' den. with the realistic rolling sea in the background, ii- still shown and excites as favorable comment as on the occasion of the piece s first presenta tion at the Park. The theater was crowded at both performances yesterday and will doubtless continue so the remainder of the week, for 'Through the Breakers" is one of the most popular plays that come to the I'arK in a season.

Hackett and Bertha Galland, turrounded by an unusually large and capable company, presenting "The Pride of Jcnnico" to-night and to-morrow night. A matinee performance would have been given to-morrow afternoon if Mr. Hackett's manager had consented to' the reduction in prices that local theatergoers have come to expect. He declined to do this for the very excellent reason that In other cltie.the matinee performances have been almost as well patronized as those at night, and at the same scale of prices. xxx The lecture of Mr. Harry E.Felcht at the

Grand Sunday night on "Oberammergau Its People and Its Fasslon Play" promises to be one of the most interesting events of the season. The two hundred views that Mr. Felcht will show by means of a stereoptlcon are of the people of the little Ba varian village, of scenes In and auoui me place and of pexsons who take part in the "Passion I'lay. The pictures nave Deen delicately tinted by a young woman artist of Boston. A unique feature of the enter tainment will be the "Passion Play music rendered by a full orchestra. Some of this music was composed more than 200 years ago. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. Noble C. Butler has issued Invlta tions for a luncheon Feb. 19. Miss Claire E.

"l pray that Almighty God may conunut to guide you In the conduct of your dellb- s eratlons, and that He may bless them with luccess." At the conclusion of his address King Edward turned to the Queen, helped her to rise, and led her out of the chamber, preceded by the procession through the royal gallery again and 4nto the robing loom, whence, within a few moments, they emerged, entered the state carriage, and drove away amid a tumult of cheers to Buckingham Palace. After this there en,ued in the House of Lords a rush and scramble without precedent In the history of Westminster. The crowd in the state gfillery poured Into the chamber. Peers end peeresses struggled to get out, and other members of the nobility, less lucky. waited to ee the place In which the great ceremony had been held. Almost half an h.ur elapsed before the confusion was over and the distinguished people were able to tinu their earnaccs and return home It is officially announced that the DUKe of Cornwall and York and Princess Victoria are both suffering from slight chills. The symptoms are not serious. The duke hopes to be out to-morrow. Neither attended the opening of Parliament. Irish VI err of the Paireant. LONDON, Feb. II. Mr. John Redmond, In the course of an interview In the lobby of the House of Commons this evening. said: "While the peers and commoners were jostling each other to-day In vulgar haste to pay obeisance to Edward VII, every Irish member deliberately abstained irom any participation in the pageani, which was only a mockery to our people, poverty-stricken and oppressed as they are. At a meeting of the Irish, National party to-day It was unanimously decided that In consideration of Ireland's present condition. deprived or constitutional freedom ana overtaxed by English rule, against which we must ever protest, the Irish members would take no part In the ceremonies In augurating the new reign. The resolution was unanimous." 1 DERATE IS PARLIAMENT. Salisbury Reply to Klmberleya Criticism of the Doer War. LONDON, Feb. 14. On the resumption of business in the House of Lords, the Lord Chancellor read the King's speech and the Marquis of Waterford (Conservative), rroved the address in reply. He Is, per haps, the youngest member to whom the i honor has ever been accorded. Lord Man- J ners seconded the motion. Lord Kimberley, the Liberal leader, after complimenting the mover and seconder of the address, said the House needed no further assurances that the King would follow in the steps of his mother, and pro ceeded to discuss the conduct of the war in South Africa. The government had been living In a fool's paradise. Unless they enabled Lord Kitchener to speedily terminate the war, the situation could easily become more dangerous. If the government at tempted to put the whole military system on a more satisfactory basis, they would receive every support from the Liberals. Lord Salisbury rose leisurely and added his congratulations to the mover and seconder of the address, and proceeded to re fer to the manner in which the country's loss had been received throughtout the world. Dealing with the war. Lord Salisbury thought there was nothing unusual in the length of the campaign. He referred Lord Kimberley to the Indian mutiny and the American war, between which and the South African campaign there was a' great resemblance. In Bosnia, it took two years and the whole power of Austria to conquer the peasants. Where great enthusiasm and persistency exist in a country like South Africa, months must elapse before tranquillity could be restored. Therefore, he did not believe there was any real ground for the discontent or apprehensions expressed by Lord Kimberley. It was four years before the whole efforts of that very intelligent and most efficient commun ity. North America, were able to bring the war of secession to a final and successful issue. He would be glad to hear Lord Kimberley repudiate all luea of asking the government to alter Its conduct toward the enemy. It was the business of the govern ment to put its wnoie neart and strength to the task before it. A not numerous, but noisy, faction tried to make out that the English people were not hearty supporters of the war, and urged the government to adopt action short of what was implied In carrying the operations to a successful Issue. If the enemy were allowed to retain any portion of their Independence it would involve Incessant, continuous warfare. Unless the British were masters and conquerors of these territories, there was no hope of abiding peace. What the country should do with the power when obtained was an other question. But U was perfectly obvi ous that the nrst purpose to which the enemy would put any powers granted them would be to accumulate new forces and new arms, to await a fitting occasion for a new attack. If Great Britain slackened her efforts it would be an avowal to tha world that her frontier could be invaded in the most insulting manner and that the empire was powerless to effectively resist It. If Lord Kimberley could impose his opinion on his party generally it would be a great advantage to the empire, as it would dispel the Impression In South Africa that an Important party movement in tneir favor existed In this country, and it wouia helD to brine to an end the insane resist ance which was bringing desolation and misery to two territories. The address was agreed to, and their lordships adjourned until Feb. 19. Debate In the Commons. LONDON, Feb. H.-The House of Commons, after a brief recess, reassembled. During the progress of formal business the members condoled with each other on the injuries, received in the scrimmages earlier in the day, during their attempts to reach the House of Lords. There were many bruises. Among the measures announced, Gerald Balfour (president of the Board of Trade), gave notice that at an early date he would Introduce a bill to amend and consolidate the law regarding literary copyright. The speaker having read the King's tpeech. II. W. Forster, who was In the uniform of the Yeomanry, moved an address in reply to the speech from the throne. Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman, the Liberal leader, after wishing the King and Queen might have a long and happy reign, took up the political paragraphs of the speech from the throne. He asked the House to face the facts in connection with the war. They must not shut their eyes to the gravity of the situation in South Africa. He dwelt at length on the miscalculations of the government and paid a warm tribute to the army, saying he thought there was no reason to withhold the fullest confidence from the generals in the field. Mr. A. J. Balfour, the government leader. followed. He admitted that the government had not foreseen that the leaders of the Boers would be so 111 advised in their own interest and the interest of their country as to continue the struggle. The govern ment, he said, had exceeded Lord Kltch ener's demands rather than fallen short of them, adding that the Boer. leaders "know perfectly' well that if they lay down their arms their persons and property will be re spected and equal rights granted to all. More than this," continued Mr. Balfour. "the Boer leaders know that as soon as it becomes possible free Institutions will be adopted. His Majesty's government holds that it would be perfect insanity to grant all the Institutions of self-government WiUle the effects of war are still visible We have put our hand to the plow and shall not withdraw it. The war will be continued until It comes to the only con elusion consistent with our honor." The Irish Nationalists held a meetini this afternoon, under the chairmanship of John Redmond, and decided to move amendments to the address, on questions regarding compulsory land purchase. Irish ÄÄlXJ' Afri WILL VISIT GERMANY, Klnar Edwnrd and Queen Alexandra 31a y Sail Saturday. LONDON. Feb. 13. A dispatch from Portsmouth says the royal yacht Victoria I . , ,- and Albert has been commanded to take King Edward and Queen Alexandra to Germany, and It is expected the British channel squadron will form the escort. "King Edward Is expected to arrive at Flushing Sunday night, on his way to Cronberg." says the Amsterdam corre spondent of the Daily Mail. "Queen w II helmlna will be specially represented on his arrival and extraordinary police precautions will be taken to insure his safety." The Dally Mall has the following from its Berlin correspondent: "I learn that the condition of dowager Empress Frederick Is more serious than at any previous time during her Illness. King Edward is expected to visit her within a few days."
