TO HELP PAULINE MARKHAM.

Theatrical Benefit for the Fanioun Burlesque Actress at New York. New York, Feb, 14.—The "present’theatrical season in this city has been notable for the large number of benefits which have been given in aid of needy members of the profession. There has been none, however, which , surpassed in interst or where the beneficiary was better known to ti e theatergoing public than that given at the Garden theater this afternoon in aid of Pauline Markham, the famous burlesque actress of a generation ago. Some months ago, when her destitute circumstances became known, a benefit was at < nee proposed, and the movement fnet with hearty support from actors and managers the country over, especially from the veterans cf the profession, who remember the de.ys when Pauline Markham won fame and fortune for Nillo’s. Of late years the actress has met with misfortune. During her last season she broke her teg in Louisville. She brought suit against ti e theater management where the accident occt .red and was awarded liberal damag s. The higher courts, however, reversed the decision and Miss Markham was left absolutely penniless. It Is hoped that enough will be realized at this afternoon’s benefit to provide for her welfare during her declining years.

Minority Report.

Washington, Fob. 14.—A minority report on ti e bond resolution presented in the house yesterday has been made by Bryan and Whiting. It opposes the proposed issue for its alleged discrimination against silver, and denounces t >e secretary of the treasury for permit!ng the noteholder to choose the coin in which it shtil be paid. They add: "We have no hesitation in declaring It as our conviction that there is no remedy permanent in character or promising in results, except an immediate exercise by the secretary of the treasury of th right to redeem United Stat s notes and treasury notes in standfd silver coin, whenever it is more convenient for the government to do io, and we further believe that the great' ‘t danger which cun possibly attend hu n a course is Infinitely less than the evils that are certain to follow an adherence to the present policy.” Th substituc for the Jones unrestricted coinage bill which Senator Sherman today proposed is in most respects a copy of tile bill introduced by him t. e 17th ultimo. It is changed, howeu-r, so as to permit the issuance of 3 per cent gold bonds, payable in five years, for the purpose soley of maintaining the gobi reserve and not to meet cv - rent deficiencies as in the original bill.
