VIOLENT BREAK
IN GRAIN PRICES
Rumor That German Ambassa
dor Had Asked for Hiss Pass
- ports the Reason
rillCAUO, Feb. 24. On a rumor that
Ambassador von Hernstorff had asked
for his passports, wheat dropped G',H to
B'.m cents from the opening just before the
market closed on the Hoard uf Trade to
day, precipitating a general liquidation.
Demoralization developed following a
show of strength In the llrst hour. Prices
suffered u violent decline under heavy
and aggressive selling Drought about by
nervousness over n political situation.
The confidence of buyers was acutely un
settled by thn possibility nf trouble with
Uermany. Weakness In securities at New
York was ued to hack up this view. Stop
loss orders weie reached as the market
slumped, and there was no support worth
mentioning.
The market at Liverpool was dull but
steady. Today's sales for export esti
mated nt 1,000.000 bushels, largely Cana
dian. There was a sharp setback In corn also;
the market started stronger on eNp.-etu-tions
that little com would be sold from
tho Interior, but a sale of 500.000 bushels,
to go Into store because of lack of shipping
facilities or industrial outlet, weakened
prices.

BOILER INSURANCE
SCANDAL PROMPTS
RIGID INVESTIGATION
Chamber of Commerce Will
Probe Charges of Rate Dis
crimination Against
Philadelphia
COYLE ALLEGES PROOFS
The Chamber of Commerce will Investl
gale the charges of Hubert St. Coyte, 12:1
Walnut street, nn Insurance broker, Hint
the net of May II, 1891, covering; Insitr.
aitco In cities of tho llrst class, makes pos
sible n drastic discrimination ii?nlnst Phil
adelphia In tho mutter of boiler Insurance
tales.
Kdwln 1.. Altec, nf the Insiilitnce Com
mittee of the Chamber of Commen-i, said
that if the nrciisntloiiM made by Sir. Coy In
are found to be correct, the Chuniber of
Commerce will uork to have the law
amended.
"As an lllu'trntlnn of the alleged dis
crimination," said Sir. Atlee today. "1 note
that Sir. Coylc compares the rate charged
for n battery of eight hollers In Now York
with the rate for a similar battery of eight
boilers In Philadelphia. Philadelphia. In
states. Is lerpilred to pny a premium of
$835 for n three-year boiler policy, while
the buttery of eight hollers In New York,
of about the same grnto surface, pays) for
the same amount of Insurance, und for the
fniuo period. $258.
!"t)l' course there nre two sides to tills
riuertlon, und n lot of things t lie enn
i sidereil as to the kind of boileis and the
iMiuilllloiis under which they are operated.
Hut If the facts as presented by Sir. Cnylo
nic correct then the discrimination
against Philadelphia is Very great, and the
law Is nn obnoxious one. if the law was
framed to fallen the treasuries of the In
surance companies, or for any other rea
sons not compatible with tho public Inter
ests, then It is the duty of the Chamber
of Commerce to get busy and work for an
amendment. Certainly innnufitcturers nnd
other business men of Philadelphia are In
terested in obtaining reasonablo boiler In
surance rales."
Sir. Coylo outlined, his complaint
against the act of Slay II, 1891, In a letter
to the Chamber of Commerce.
Howard II. French, president of the
chamber, said todny:
"Just as soon as Sir. Coyle's letter Is
brought officially before tho Chiunier. wo
will turn II over to thn proper committee,
with Instructions that tho matter be In
vestigated." In another statement Issued today Sir.
Coylo said ho had been reliably informed
that the act of Slay 11, 1891, was uncon
stitutional. "I have heard frctiueut complaint," lie
said, "that the .Stitte-inado rates for
women's compensation were too high, but
theso rates nro nothing In comparison
with the high cost of holler Insurance.
This high cost Is made possible by reason
of a law approved on Slay 11, 1891, by
Governor Pattlson.
"It seems strange to me that nobody
has ever attacked this law. for I have
been told by good authorities that It was
not only vulnerable, but altogether uncon
stitutional. "It cannot bo disputed that boiler Insur
ance costs mora in Philadelphia than In
New York. This Is so because tho act of
Slay 11. 189.L requires that tho Insurance
companies shall charge a premium at least
50 per cent, of the charges made by the
boiler Inspection bureau, which Inspection
fees are In themselves high nnd do not
seem to be limited in the act."
Sir. Coylo said he wns certain that tho
act of Slay 11, 1891, was passed to create
political Jobs for party henchmen. This
wns denied today by John St. l.ukcns.
chief of thn llureatt of Holler Inspection,
nt City Hall.
"Before tholaw"vns pass"cd,"ald I.u
ken.H, "tho city mnde all of tho Inspections
of hollers. Now the city boiler inspectors
accept the certificates of tho Insurance
companies in lieu of their own Inspections.
It can bo readily seen that If the city made
all tho Inspections, as formerly, there
would be more jobs to parcel out than
under tho present conditions imposed by
the law."

Police Court Chronicle
Sounds of a struggle came to the ears
of Policeman Tom Bnlklc. Near the cor
ner of 2d and SInstor streets he observed
a quadrangular battle In progress. The
combatants made serious oral accusations
ns they charged each other literally with
fists and feet.
The policeman saw at a glance that the
conflict could never ,bo .settled by idle
words. He did the best thing under the
circumstances, and that was to let the
fighters maul each other to their heart's
content.
Finally he observed that tho blows
begun to lack "steam." The "dull thuds"
were fewer and there was a co-operative
Inclination toward pence, due chlolly to
unanimous humnu exhaustion, which hap
pens even In the best of families. Aim
so when the blow huil -eaeheil the canary
bird Htage Ballile called upon the bellig
erents und announced officially that they
were "pinched." One of the coinbatnnta
ntn off and hid behind a tombstone in a
marble yard. Hut he was caueht and with
the other inarched dejectedly to the Front
and .Master streets station.

'That Is unite sulllclent," said iluKln

PORTMANTEAU THEATRE
DELIGHTFUL NOVELTY
! The Art Alliance Brings Stuart
Walker's Unique Entertain
ment to Philadelphia
The urliiup and iirnlseworthv nrolecl of
Ihe Philadelphia Art Alllnnee wns pushed
foiuiud tniotl(cr nok'li Ins! night In Its
j campaign for funds by n performance nt
j the Hcllcvue-Strntford which wns quite ns
utilfltie and quite as noteworthy. A large
I and Interested midlcnce saw what Is In
general the most novel nnd significant
I theatrical entertainment that America has
I yet created the work of Stuart Walker's
Poitmnnteuti Theatre.
1 Tho ntidlrncc found n beautifully slm- I
j pie fotpsingp and proscenium In blue nnd j
, gold lining Ihe whole singe of the bnll
, room nnd putting to sluiiiie lis creamy
I affluence. I "poll this fnrestnso nnd
ngnlnst two very lovely settings behind J
I lie proscenium were acted three little
' plas which sent iiclnrs out into thn nudl-
once to unite slag" and auditorium In a i
new and refreshing Intimacy. Cotuiiii's
, and furniture and rcenery were of the
oiv slmpte-it, yrl designed with such orlg-
inallty and pici ni to create a little world
of hnnuiy quite npnrt from Ihe gauds of '
the Ihrntr, nnd utterly In keeping with I
tlie tinive und ehiirnilng little plays pre. ,
cenirti. Acting of sincerity and skill did
n great part.
It Is little or no use to recount Sir.
Walker's three plays. The esseiico of
them would evaporate In the retelling.
"The Trlinplet," n dream play" : "Never
theless." a realistic fantasy; "Six Who
Pass While tlie Lentils tloll," n ballady
sort of fnlk-itile. an- nil tmlve. nil gently
whimsical, n ,t a llltl poetic and decidedly
worth while fur all three qualities. They
arc not vigorous. There Is no red blood.
no passion In them, one could never bear j
a whole season of such. Hut as n relief i
from the violent ,ind the prosaic which
rule our stage they are u delight. Their
flavor Is In such program announcements J
as "The time Is partly then and partly
nowadays," nnd "The lime Is when yon I
will." It whines through such everyday, I
tmhlglifnlutln statements of the poetic ns
"Heaven Is full of days and they'ro nil i
coming this way." and "A trlinplet Is the j
hole a sunbeam makes In n shadow. To
dolluo Sir. Walker exactly, he conies
nearer having what his beloved Sllddle
Ages called a "pretty wit" than any mod
ern of the moment.'
Sir. Walker has something else a do7.cn
times more needed, however, lie has n
sense of the theatre and, better still, a
sense of what the theatre lucks, lie
learned them both nt the feet of David
llelasco, and he Is now shaming Ills muster
Willi beautiful art Instead of trumpery
reallsm and Individual solution for the
Hrondway slavery which hinds Sir. lle
lasco and overy other professional pro
ducer. For Sir. Stuart has built his whole
theatre scenery, proscenium, gridiron,
forostugo and lighting plant to pack up,
enrry about nnd set up wherever anybody
has a hall to give him. He Is bringing
n new art to tho people who want It.

guerltes BInrguerlte," If one may so put It.
As Ihe ndorablo little mountain girl
wlioie innocence nnd purity reform a man
of vicious hnhlts she gives n portrayal
more sympathetic, appealing and charm-lug-
than anything she lias yet done.
The story deals with rather a delicate
sex question In n-:'ory discreet nnd proper
manner. It is sir. crely to be hoped that
the censors will be cqunlly discreet and
proper when viewing It. There Is nothing
vulgar or objectionable In the story except
one rough scene In the llrst reel, which
has no bearing on the story and can be
cut.
The cast Is excellent, especially Wlllfara
Pourtlelgh. Jr., son of the famous actor
of that name, so we nre told.- Hill Junior
is n wormy successor In polished villainy
tn his father. His acting Is attractive
and sincere throughout. t
The lovely snow scenes nnd glorious
views In the picture nro equal to any yt
slum n. Tho nvalnnche Ir n thrilling ep.
sode In n picture which Is decidedly above
the average even for this company.
