SARAH BERNHARDT IN SARDOU'S "LA SORIERE

II New Plav in W hich the Great Acter ress Takes the Part of a Moorish Girl. PRESENTED IX PARIS PARIS. Dec. 15.-8ardou8 "La Srrlere" waa produced by Sarah Bernhardt to-night at her own theater and was a great triumph for both author and actress. The action of the play passes In Toledo In the middle ages. Zoroya. the daughter of a Moorish physician, is enamored of Don Enrique, a Spanish captain, who returns lier passion, thus braving the rt?k of the terrible punishment allotted to a Christian who unites himself with a Moor, forgetting momentarily his betrothal to Juana, the daughter of the governor of the city. Juana. who Is a sleep walker, seeks a cure for her affliction at the hands of Zowyt, whose scientific accomplishments have earned for her the rtputailon of a -sorceress. Juana Incidentally reveals to Zoroya that the man whom she If to marry on the morrow is Loo, Enrique. Zoroya determines to prevent the marriage, and, obtaining entrance to th- governor's pmc . puts Juana asleep. Don Knriqut-. on approaching the bridal chamber, tinds at the threshold a veiled woman, who overwhelms ri Ira with reproaches. He -xplatna that ho wag betrothed t Juana before h' knew Zoroya and that honor compelled the fulfillment of his pledge. Zoroya. Influenced by Don Enrique's explanation, is just about to forgive him. when an officer of the infUialtion arrives to arrest her for witchcraft. Don Enrique resists the officer and he and Zoroya are carried before the inquisition tribunal. Bernhardt has a splendid prcne in which Zoroya, in order to save Don Enrique, confesses whatever is retiuirl of her. She declares that she bewitched Don Enrique und that she alone Is the guilty one. The court acquits the captain and condemns the woman to the stake. Guessing the truth. Don Enrique arrives at the ;lace of execution At the same moment the pardon for Zoroya from the governor Is received, the pardou being given because the Moor alone is able to reawaken Juana. The mob is furious at seeing their victim about to escape and tries to seize her when Don Enrique draws his sword and defends her until it is seen that his efforts are hopeless. Then Zoroya conveys poison to the captain by a kiss and the two die together amid the howling of the mob. The dramatic interest was splendidly kept Up and Bernhardt's impersonation of th Moorish girl was magnificent. The staging and the accessories were worthy of this masterpiece of Sardou. The audience gave the actress repeated ovations. FAIR, WARMER, TO-DAY; CLOUDY OX THURSDAY WASHINGTON. Dec. 13. Forecast for Wednesday and Thursday: Indiana and Illinois Fair and warmer on Wednesday.

m CROWN PRINCE WILHELM. WILHELM PUNISHES HIS DAREDEVIL SON AND HEIR Forces the Crown Prince to Stay in His Room for Racing in a Steeplechase. KAISER'S HEALTH GOOD BERLIN, Dec. 15.-Crown Prince Fredprick William was required by his father to remain In his room for three days, for having raced a steeplechase, against the Kmieror's wish. The race took place near Potsdam, three or four weeks ago. The Crown Prince is a ventursome rider and had been reprimanded by the Emperor for riding up the steps of the Saus Soucie palace at the head of the second company of the tirst regiment of the guards, of Which regiment he had recently beta appointed colonel a few days before, on which occaaion. it is reported, the Emperor said he must not endanger his life by steeplechasing. The Prince, while at Bonne University, was noted for driving tandem at f ill pssd to see how close he could cut corners. A statement published in the London Dally News this morning that it had learned from well-informed quarters that a second operation had been performed n Emperor William's throat and that a third operation may be necessary. Is erroneous. Further matter taken from the wound was submitted to twenty-two of the greatest special lata in internal growths, every one of whom reported it to be benignaut. ALLEGED SC AX DAL IX BELLEVUE HOSPITAL Xew York Police Begin an Investigation of the Death of Wealthy Canadian Mine Owner. NEW YORK. Dec. 15. Investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death at Bellevue Hospital last week of Adolphus Drucker, a former member of the British Parliament, has been begun by the police. Drucker, who was a wealthy mine own. r of British Columbia, was placed In the prison ward of the hospital while suffering irom alcoholism, and died there. The In quiry was brought about by a letter written to Attorney Eugene N. Robinson, Drucker' lawyer, by James Murphy, now a prisoner in the Tombs, but who occupied a cot uext to Drucker in the hospital. Murphy charges that the attendants dosed Drucker with frequent and heavy hypodermic injections of morphine, besides an internal dose of narcotic known as "snipe," and also beat him about the head frequently and unnecessarily. When Drucker died .Murphy declares the body was hastily taken to the morgue, and it is charged the hour of death was misstated. Another charge is that, though friends of Mr. Drucket hail severs! times telephoned to the hospital asking if Drucker was there, the answer was always that no such person H among the patients. It is also averred that when he was taken to Bellevue he had some valuable j irelry about him, aud that this has disappeared.

Sanguinary contacts between Persians and Turcomans are reported to have occurred on the RussoPersian frontier. The trouble arose from the establishment of Persian customs houses.

MOTHER AND BABE FOUND STARVINGHCOID HOME Salvation Army Helps Family with No Food and Xo Money to Buv Coal.

MERCURY RISES TO-DAY With twin babies about a year old and two other small children not more than two or three years old, with no food and no .money to buy food, and a meager fire, scarce adequate to keep the family from freezing in the bitter cold weather, Mrs. Phillpls, 604 West Pearl street, was helped by the Salvation Army yesterday after her case had been reported to the police. The husband and father is out of work, and the prospects of the family were pitiful until help came in the person of the men and women in the blue and red uniforms of the Salvation Army, who brought food, clothing and fuel. Other calls are pouring into the army headquarters in increasing numbers. One of the most pitiful cases that was called to their attention yesterday was the case of Mrs. Guin'p. 15 North West street, an old woman who is almost helpless with rheumatism, and had absolutely no fire and no Food. When the lrmy officiate called at her home she was in a neighbor's home, borrowing warmth from her tlr Other charity organizations report corresponding destitution coming to their attention. Relief from the extremity of the suffering is promised by the weather forecast for Wednesday, which promises a rising temperature. KOREA MAY BE GROUND BETWEENJTWO NATIONS People Think Empire Will Be Obliterated as Outcome of RussoJapanese Trouble. RENEWAL OF RIOTIXG SEOl'L, Dec. 15 More rioting has taken place at Mokphe and yesterday a Japanese mob injured seventeen Koreans. High Korean officials are hurrying to Mokphe to try and quell the disorders. So far Russia has not interfered. United States Minister Allen has demanded a definite answer from the Korean government in regard to the opening of the jort of Wiju. Despite American, British and Japanese pressure Russian influence over the Korean government is apparently unshaken and it is expected that Korea will procrastinate in dealing with the matter and possibly may refuse eventually to act at all. A feeling of unrest is growing among the Korean people who fear that whether it be peace or war between Russia and Japan, that the extinction of the empire is imminent. It is believed that the outbreak of hostilities or the announcement of a protectorate of any kind will precipitate trouble. Foreigners in Seoul expect disorder and the American residents desire a warship. The Korean army, numbering 8.000 men. is considered one of the most dangerous factors of the situation, as an insubordinate element is beyond official control. In case of trouble it is feared the soldiers will be the first to lead the rioting and begin looting. A part of the Russian squadron has already departed for Port Arthur and the remainder of the fleet will follow, leaving no warships of that nation in Korean waters. LABOR LEADERS ASK PASSAGE OF MEASURES Confer with Speaker Cannon, Mr. Gardner and Senators Frye and McComas. WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. The executive council of the American Federation of Labor held conferences to-day with Speaker Cannon aud Mr. Gardner, chairman of the House committee on labor, discussing measures in which the labor representatives are interested. They requested consideration of the eight-hour bill and the prison labor anti-injunction bills. A conference was also held with President Pro Tern. Frye and St nator McComas, chairman of the Senate committee on labor. Speaker Cannon informed his visitors he hail no doubt they would be given a full and free hearing on the bills in which they are interested and said it would be his duty as well as his pleasure to co-operate with them to secure fair hearing and a full discussion of all legislation they might suggest. The speaker told his visitors that they would find the House organized for the full and free discussion of all questions touching the interests of the American people, without regard to class distinction, and that the House could not afford to try to secure legislation for one class to the detriment of another, or for one class to the detriment of labor. Legislation, he said, should be for the benefit of the whole people. The speaker assured the members of the executive council that he was not oppoai d to organized labor, but that on the contrary he considered it his duty and pleasure to co-operate and secure the fullest and freest consideration of the legislation suggested. FEARED THE GOLDEN CUP AND LEFT PERSIA Former Grand Vizier, Who Escaped a Fatal Draught of Poison, Now in Japan. TOKIO. Dec. 15-Mlrsa Asghar Kah. the former grand vizier of Persia, has arrived here on his way to the United States. On Oct. 19 letters were received from some of the Belgian officers employed in the Persian customs finance department, telling an amazing story concerning the removal from office of the grand vizier. It appears that some weeks previous the governor of the province of Hatch received a golden cup containing coffee, which was poisoned and which the Shah sends to officials whom he wishes to banish from the world. The governor drank tie- coffee and died. It was discovered later that the golden cup was not sent by the Shah and the grand vizier was accused of the actf whereupon he was dismt efl. Kxpecting soon to receive the fatal cup in his turn, he asked for and obtained leave to go on a pilgrimage some miles from Teheran, whence he fled to the coast and then sailed for Europe.

HolHs was not a Mason, and that they had been worked, they set the mills of Justice to grinding, and Hollis was arrested yesterday by Detectives Asch and Manning on the charge of loitering. Hollis. who is known as the "Prince of Tramps," is alleged to have worked the same old game in a number of places, and, through the medium of a hard luck story, some signs and passwords, to have secured money, clothes und lodging for a time, when he would pass on to greener fields and pastures new. It Is stated that all of the larger bodies of Masons over the country have been furnished with his picture and an outline of his ilan of camjaign. but that the local M.isons were moved by his eloquent plea in spite of that fact.

EDITOR SPADONI SUES HEAD OFJKE JESUITS Says Father Martin Promised Pay for Opposing Americanization of Catholic Church. BLACKMAIL IS ALLEGED ROME, Dec. 15. Editor Spadonl, of the Roman Herald, caused a summons to be issued to-day against Father Martin, general of the Society of Jesus, for the purpose of obtaining compensation, with costs, alleged to be due the editor for work done by agreement with Father Martin in the propaganda against the Americanization of the Catholic Church in the United States. , The editor says that Father Martin promised to obtain from Pope Leo an encyclical condemning this Americanism and recalling Archbishop Ireland to due obedience to the Holy See, while at the same time Spadonl was to arouse public opinion through the paper which he then published, and which was called the True Catholic American, issued in both English and Italian. Beginning In February, 1859, several thousand copies of this paper were sent to the United States. Spadonl asserts that owing to his writings and the influence of his paper Americanism in the church had disappeared to a considerable extent, and he called for the alleged promised compensation, not receiving which he had recourse to the law courts. The case will be argued Dec. 18. Father Martin says Editor Spadoni s allegation is false, and that the case is one of blackmail. He said he would not appear in court, but would leave the matter altogether in the hands of his lawyer.

PREACHERS XOT GOOD CAMPAIGN ORATORS Prohibitionists Say Ministers Are Less Effective than Business Men on the Stump. CHICAGO, Dec. 15. Preachers as campaign orators was the principal subject discussed at to-day's meeting of the Prohibition national committee. The ten committeemen who participated in the meeting at the Auditorium Hotel, will decide on the place for the next convention before their adjournment to-merrow. The general welfare of the party was discussed to-day, this discussion having to do generally with the methods of campaign orators. The consensus of opinion seemed to be against the preachers. "The infldel who votes the party ticket is worth more than the Christian who doesn t," said H. W. Wilbur, of New York. Other members said ministers as stump speakers were less effective than business men. owing to their lack of knowledge of the best way to reach and convince the people. The committeemen present agreed as to the desirability of eliminating Impractical method! and recognizing practical men in the party, instead of giving the leading positions to preachers.

V IK)ZZZ,, X.JConsxtl PLOT TO ASSASSINATE MINISTER I F, POWELL Disclosure Concerning "Inside Politics" in Santo Domingo by an Incumbent Official. JIMINEZ ALSO TO DIE NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-An alleged plot to assassinate William F. Powell, United States minister to Hayti, and charge d' affairs at Port au Prince, Santo Domingo, has been disclosed in a communication from an official of the present Dominican government to a fellow-countryman in this city, who formerly was an official under Wos y Gil. the recently deposed president of the republic. The letter states that the plot had been so arranged that ex-President Jiminez, under whose leadership Wos y Gil was overthrown, should be killed at about the same time. The plot to assassinate Minister Powell, it was asserted, was conceived because of his opposition to plans of certain officials. The plan, as reported, was to let two or three men get Into a fight on a street along which Mr. Powell was passing. It was arranged that in the melee other plotters should engage, and it would be an easy matter to kill the American "by accident." W ith regard to Jiminez, the writer asserts, he was to be the victim of plain assassination, and that already two unsuccessful attacks have been made on his person. While the plot against Minister Powell is said by the author of the letter to have been abandoned because of a strong stand taken by a member of the Cabinet, it is said the American diplomat is being carefully guarded whenever he goes out. ANOTHER REVOLUTION IN SANTO DOMINGO WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. Mr. Simpson, the United States consul at Puerta Plata, Santo Domingo, has cabled the State Dejartment under to-day's date that a revolution has broken out at Santiago and that the movement is extensive and serious. This is supposed to be the result of the failure of the provisional government to secure recognition at the hands of United States Minister Powell, which act operated to prevent that government from obtaining money necessary to maintain itself through a foreign loan. Nothing is known officially of the reported plots against the life of United States Minister Powell, but the navy will take all necessary precautions to protect the American legation in San Domingo. The Newport will return there from San Juan as soon as she has coaled. " ROOSEVELT FACTION BEATEN BY EIGHT VOTES Afro-American League Split by Friends of the President Walking Out.

SUICIDE OF II CASHIER WHO ROBBED HIS BANK Alleged to Have Lost Between $12,000 and $15,000 in Speculations in Stocks.

BOND PROTECTS BANK NEW HAVEN. Conn.. Dec. 15-Aaa C. Bushnell. cashier of the Yale National Bank, shot himself a short time before the time for opening of the bank to-day and died an hour and a half later. He had used about $12,000 of the bank'a funda in speculating. United States Bank Examiner Barrows was at the bank for hia regular semi-annual examination when the cashier shot himself. Mr. Bushneil had been connected with the institution for twenty-one years. President E. S. Greeley of the bank issued the following statement: A. C. Bushnell, our cashier, has taken his own life. It is evident that Mr. Bushnell has been speculating in stocks to a limited extent, and was indebted to this bank for a small amount, which is amply covered by surety bonds United States bank officials are now engaged in making an examination." From a reliable source it was learned that the bank's securities have been found by Bank Examiner Barrows to be Intact, and that the books apparently show the misappropriation of funds by the cashier to be less than $15,000, probably about $12,000.
