by all the commissioner, locating the
bridge in substance as follow:
Beginning at a point in Sew Jersey, on
the west side of the river, between the lines
of Seventieth and Seventy first streets in the
city of ieiv York (five miles Irora the cen
ter cf Jersey City), thence run
ning easterly between Seventieth and Seventy-first
streets to a point near Eleventh
avenue: thence curving to the south and
running about 100 feet west of the west
line of Eleventh avenue, to such a point
as far north as Thirty-eighth street as will
allow of a curve ol proper radius; thence
curving to the east and running between
Thirtv-eigUh and Thirty-ninth streets to a
union station, which union station will
cover the blocks between Thirty seventh
and Thirty-ninth streets and extend from
Eighth avenue to Broadway.
location or mi: APPROACHES.
One approach is to extend from the Union
station in a diagonal line to a connect'oti
with and for the Manhattan Ele
vated Railroad, on Sixth avenue,
near Thirtv-third street. Another ap
proach will run lrom the west
end ot the Union station at Eighth avenue
with a two-track line descending toward
the Hudson river in the lower part
ot the viaduct on the main line.
It will pass not less than SO leet
above the Sew York Central and Hudson
River railroad tracks, lving between Sixti
eth and Seventy-third streets and will
descend to a level if about eight leet above
the mean hig.i tide in the Hudson river, at
or near Seventy-ninth street.
Thence it will run along the river front
outside of the present Seir York Central
and Hudson River Railroad tracks upon a
pile foundation to be made lor it. Sear
One Hundred and Fifty-filth street,
it will rise over the S'ew York
Central and Hudson River Railroad tracks
and curve to the east into a tunnel
niiout half a mile long at or near One
Hundred' and Fifty-fifth street, coming
out on the cast side ol the lull and crossing
the Manhatt-in Elevated Railroad at a
clear elevation of 18 feet above the
tracks at One Hundred and Filly-fifth street,
thence across the Harlem river in a north
easterlv direction to a connection with the
Sew York and Sorthern ana the Sew York

at all connections with railroads and also at
near Seventy-second street, Eighty-sixth
street, Manhattan street and One Hundred
and Fiftv-fiuh street. The plans for con
structing the bridge and its exact dimensions
have not yet been approved by the Com
missioners and will not be made public
until they are approved. The bridge will
be made wide enough (or six tracks, two
passenger, two freight aud two rapid
trausit tracks. The viaduct will be of the
same capacity and carry six tracks on top
of it and two more will be below.
.' The lines west of the river would be as
follows: The two rapid transit lines will
-eurve away "rom the bridge upon reaching
tie eat side of the Palisades. The four
other lines will run thiough the Palisade hill,
partly by tunnel and partly by open cuttings,
with bridges for the streets. One set of
tr-efcs will curv to the south and connect
with the lines o' the Delaware, Ltckawanna

CllAMHEBsnCKO. Dec. L The Pennsylvania

tile first important step toward building a line
from this valley to the Broad Top soft coal
regions, and thence westward along the line of
the now abandoned South Penn. or Vnnderbilt
Line. President Kcnncdj. of the Cumberland
Valley Koad, went to Hairisburg this morning
and lookout a charter at the S:ate Department
for the "llarnsbure: and Bedford Railroad

Want Reform In Politics.
tSFECIAL TELEOKAJXTO THE DI8PATCH.t
CANTON, Dec 1. A meeting of the Canton
Pa-toral Association was held here to-day.
The subjects were mnnicipal reform, and the
adv.sabllity of pnttlng a people's ticket in the
field at the spring election. They pledged
themselves to moral reform In local affairs, and
a bnal decision will be given as to a plan of
action at the meeting to bo held In January.
A KILKENNY BATTLE.
Continued from first rage
standing their previous action, taken with
knowledge of Parnell's position, a section
of the party at the bidding of the Liberals
now waited to sacrifice their leader and
with him the national cause. Irishmen the
world over would ask where was the con
sistency of such a course.
THE TENANTS LOTAI
The Irish tenants, said Mr. Redmond,
would repudiate the action that the anti
Farnell section proposes to take, and those
American menus, whose bounty had sus
tained them and their cause for many years,
would demand a reckoning from Parnell's
foes. That reckoning could notlong be de
layed, judging from the many expressions
of sympathy and the continued support
Mr. Parncll was receiving from America.
In conclusion he invited his hearers to give
their votes for Ireland. He resumed his
seat amid great cheering.
Tclegeams were read from Messrs. Har
rington, Pierce, Mahouy, Lalor and Leahy,
all of whom supported Parnel!.
Mr. T. P. Gill, one of the delegates now
in America, sent a cable dispatch expressing
his personal grief at the action that his con
science forced him to take toward a leader
whom be loved and to defend whom he
would give up bis life. "I wonld gladly
follow him to death," says Mr. Gill, "but
I cannot follow him to what seems to me to
be dishonor." He concludes with a request
that the dispatch be read to Mr. Parnel.
The meeting remained in session until G
o'clock, when it adjourned for an hour.
PABKELTj SrEAKS IN PEIISON.
After Mr. Redmond had concluded his
remarks Mr. Parnell addressed the meet
ing. He said in effect:
The time has come when I must speak out
against the opposition within our party which
has been created by Mr. Gladstone's letter.
Those responsible for the division in the party
apDcar to forget wnat ts due to themselves, to
their country and to me. The men whose abil
ity has been most, conspicnouslr exercised
acainst me Messrs. Healy aud Sexton will
have to bear their responsibility iu these pro
ceedings. Mr. Healy has been trained in this
warfare. Who trained him? Who taw his
genius? Who telegraphed to him in America
to come back? Who gave him first chance to
enter public life and got him a seat in Parlia
ment, prompilnir. rcbukinz and restraining
him? lliat Jlr. Healy is here to-day to destroy
me is due to mjself. But I am glad he is here,
even to destroy me, if be understands the mean
ing and effect of bis proceedings.
-Mr. Healy reminds me ot his services. lie
hasn't been slow to remind me of them at any
time. I understand he attended the recent
meeting in Dublin, calling on me, not to retrre,
Cheers. J Who asked him to do so? Did I?
Cheers. Who asked Mr. JicCarthy to travel
to Dublin and say he wonld be able to give
information which wonld throw a different
complexion on bidden events? Did I?
Cheers. Where was Sexton at this same
meeting? Where were you all?
INCONSISTENCY EEBUKED.
Why did you encourage me to come forward
and maintain the leadership in the face of the
world, if you were not going to stand by me?
Why did my officers encourage me to take my
position on the bridge if they were going to
act as traitors and hand me over to another
commander in chief ? Cheers. I did not ask
them for the certificate of character given at
the Dublin meeting. Your position is awk
ward, but the whole blame for the creation of
this position does not rest with me. A leader
killer. Barry, has been put up to kill me, as he
stabbed that old lion. Isaac Butt, In days gone
by.
I remember well that, thongh Bntt arraigned
me, I never, by word or deed, counselled at
tacks upon him. I allowed the old man to go
down honored to bis crave rather than seek to
step into the shoes ot a politician who, how
ever grave his faults, created a great move
ment and has given me and many others
power to participate therein. Cheers
What is now to be said about the request for
my temporary retirement? Jlr. Sexton, at a
recent meeting here, told me I could resume
the leadership, and that the leaders were with
me. Ten minutes afterward he astonished me
b saying he believed 1 would reject the leader
ship. Laughter and cheers. I have been
asked about the conference at Hawarden. I
am told theie that Gladstone's communica
tion is not to be divulged to any colleagues,
yet because I did not denounce his proposals at
once, I am accused of deceiving the party.
NOT PINAL PROPOSALS.
Mr. Gladstone told me that none of tho pro
posals wcreUnaL The chief proposal of all
the retention of 30 members in Westminster
was subject to revision. Forme it was not a
niiDClfnn rtf ilraftlmr i Villi If nic nnactinn nf
weak in dement on the Tjart of au Emrllsh 1
politician. It was a question of Healing with a
trarmlous old gentleman who monopolized the
conversation, and with whom, as everybody
who Knows him, knows it is difficult to get a
word in cdgowas.
Before you vote for my deposition, bo sure
you are getting value for it. On Saturday we
were all agreed that we would not have this
Gladstone hill. Cries of "Hear, hear," and
cheers. 2Cot a man here has said a word in
favor of it. Are yon sure vou will be able to
get anything better? If Healy or JicCarthy or
bexton sees the way to get anything betrer, for
God's sake let them say it. I won't stand a
moment in their way.
On Saturday I made this proposal to Jlr.
JicCarthy: Let Gladstone, Harcourt and
Jlorley give him letters declaring tuat in the
event of the return of the Liberals to power a
home rule bill would be proposed by which the
contiol of the constabulary would be vested in
an Irish executive who would be responsible to
an Irish Parliament, to settle the land qucs
tior. Jlr. McCarthy went to Jlr. Gladstone
with these proposals with my assurance that
these concessions made, I wonld retire from
public life. Jlr. Gladstoue has replied that he
will not hold any communication with me as
the leader of the party.
DIRECT CONTRADICTION.
Jlr. JicCarthy. interrupting So! Sot
Jlr. Parnell Ho is perfectly welcome. The
same proposals were placed before Sir William
Vernon Harcourt, who replies that under no
circumstauce will be give any promise what
ever, now or hereafter, to any Irish party.
Remember Harcourt will bey onr leader when
Gladstone dies.
Jlr. Condon Sot our leader.
Jlr. Parnell It will not be Morley. You will
not deny that this great man, Harcourt. whose
chain you are going to put on your necks, has
the reversioner the Liberal leadership. Ibis
same man has declared that his limits to home
rule are in Jlr. Chamberlain's scheme of local
government. If Harcourt ever comes into
power, he will give you local government with
plenty of coercion. Cries of "Hear: Hear!'
I know what Harcourt will do for on, and
what Gladstone and Jlorley will do. I know
there it not a single one of the lot to be trust
ed, unless you trust yourselves. "Be to your
own selves iruo aud it must follow as the night
the day. Thou canst not then be false to anv
inon." If I am to leave you to-night I should
like to leave you in security. It is not an un
fair thing for me to ask to see you within sight
of the promised land, or that I sbonld come
with vmu, having como so far, until you are ab
solutely sure of Ireland and I can go no
further.
CHEEKS FOR FABNELX.
An enthusiastic outburst of cheering fol
lowed Jlr. Parnell's remarks.
Mr. McCarthy followed Mr. Parnell. He
explained how he went to Mr. Gladstone on
Saturday to reopen negotiations, although
he was unwilling to undertake the mission,
believing it would do no good. He thought
the party ought to settle its quarrels among
themselves without reference to English
statesmen. Mr. Gladstone "told tiim tnat he
regretted the disorganization of the Irish
party, but could not regard him as repre
senting the party and there'ore could not
treat with liim. He would offer no sugges
tion, nor would he sign any document or
give any message to be conveyed to the
party.
Jlr. Parnell I did not want any docu
ment, only your word if Mr. Gladstone
assented.
Mr. McCarthy, continuing, said Mr.
Gladstoue informed him that be conld not
give any document with any certainty tbat
it might not be printed by some of those
concerned. He (McCarthy) also saw Har
court who did not say he would not make
a promise of any kind to any Irish mem
ber, but simply said that in view of the dis
closures made'in the manifesto he would not
give anybody, verbally or in writing, as
surances which were to be brought to the
notice of Parnell. As to the general ques
tion of Parnell's retiring, Mr. McCarthy
said Parnell's leading error bad been his
keening private until now the Hawarden
conversation.
ONE ERROR ADMITTED.
Mr. Parcel! I am perfectly willing to
admit the blame, but I am glad tbat I have
told ult now before the full mischief ha
been done.
The motion for the retirement of Mr.
Parnell ws made by Mr. John Barry,
member for South "Wexford, who aided the
late Isaac Butt in founding the Home Bale
Confederation of Great Britain in 1872.
Mr. - Joseph Solan,' member for "So'rth
Louth, submitted an amendment to
the effect tljat the question ot the retirement
of Parnell should be postponed until the
members had personally ascertainedthe
views of their constituents ou the subject,
the party then to meet iu Dublin and de
cide the matter.
Parnell ruled out of order any reference
to his conduct in the O'Shea case, and this
brought liim into frequent collision with
the different spcakers,especially Mr. Healy,
with whom Parnell exchanged hot words.
Parnell displayed great passion throughout.
At 11:30" the meeting adjourned until noon
to-morrow.
THS HUSH DELEGATES
Waiting for the Decision of tho Farnelllte
Sleeting in London.
Chicago, Dec. L The Irish envoys to
this country had planned to go to South
Bend, Ind., to-day to pay a visit to Sotre
Dame University, but at the last moment
they decided to remain in Chicago until
they should hear the result of the confer
ence of leaders in London to-day. This
action was taken in obedience to a request
by cable from Justin McCarthy suggesting
that they remain in Chicago where they
could be more easily reached by wire.
Sir. Diilon received three cable messages
between 11 and 12 o'clock, but positively
declined to divulge their contents or to talk
on the crisis further than to say that if Par
nell resigned or was deposed Justin Mc
Carthy would temporarily be placed at the
head of the party.
The delegates heard the news from the
Loudon meeting in the Grand Pacific Hotel.
When the adjournmeut of the meeting with
out action had been told, Messrs. O'Brien
and Gill entered with Mrs. O'Brien, and
the others withdrew for a few moments.
Harrington was asked by a reporter as to
how he now regarded the outlock for Par
nell's retention of leadership. Harrington,
who was in a decided good humor, replied:
''If the anplause given Parnell was as great
as I should'luler from the dispatch, I think
more than ever that he may eventually
triumph. The delay in reaching a conclu
sion is perhaps also significant."
WHAT HARRINGTON SAYS.
"Why He Refused to Sign the Manifesto Re
pudiating Parnell.
Chicago, Dec, 1. Mr. Timothy Har
rington, the only member of the Irish Par
liamentary delegation now in this country
who refuses to sign the manifesto repudiat
ing Parnell, said in an interview:
Yes, unfortunately, I differ from my col
leagues here, and therefore I have been un
able to sign any manifesto issued by them
in opposition to Mr. Parnell's leadership.
There are no men in the Irish party I have
a deeper affection for than some of my col
leagues who are here with me in this dele
gation, but I value utility and the welfare
of our party more than personal friendship.
Ol course I fully recognize the difficulty
which Mr. Gladstone's letter has raised, and
1 appreciate to its full extent the injury
tbat may be done to our cause at the ap
proaching general election by anything
which would dampen the euthnsiasm of
even a considerable section ot the Irish Lib
eral electors. But that does not alter the
justice ot the case. If a few years ago when
Jlr. Gladstone was introducing his home
rule bill be had made it afjtondition that
Mr.-Parnell shuuld be deposed lrom the
leadership of the Irish party, the Irish peo
ple would then have indignantly scouted
his home rule bill and his proposal. To
my mind nothing has since occurred in Mr.
Parnell's discharge of his duties as leader;
there has been no public act of betrayal ot
his country or his party which could justify
us in standing less firmly by him now.

SOME PRESS COMMENTS.
Views of English Newspapers Upon Mr.
Gladstone's Answer.
London, Dec. 1. The Daily tfetos this
morning heads its leading editorial article,
"Political Suicide." The article contains
the following:
"Jlr. Parnell seems bent on making himself
impossible as a leader, even in the future.
Mr. Gladstone's crushing reply proves Jlr.
Parnell's shameful breach of faith. Jlr. Glad
stone's only mistake has been the generous
one of relying on Jlr. Parnell's honor." The
article concludes with tbis sentence: "There
is now no argument against home rule except
Parnell."
The Post praises Mr. Gladstone's prompti
tude of denial, but says he failed to state
what did take place in the Hawarden inter
view, and this leaves him in a position far
from satisfying.

NEW YORK, Dec L The following dis
patch was sent to the President of the Irish
National Leagne to-night by Terne branch

Lincoln, Neb.:
O'Brien, Dillon and associates have ignored
the National Leagne, and by doing so Jnsulteil
all its members. They proved ungrateful to
the American-Irish organizations tbat did so
much for them. They have completed their
ingratitude by throwing overboard the able and
honest leader, Parnell, who has done so much
for Ireland and fur them. That Irish-American
opinion may not bo misrepresented or mis
understood, we suggest that you call a conven
tion of the League and of kindred Irish socie
ties to decide if we shall have Gladstone, the
British politician, or Parnell, the Irish patriot,
as the issue has now narrowed itself down to
that Cornelius J. Keilly,

THE SEW PLAYHOUSE.
Miss Emma Jack Opens Manager
Henderson's Dnquesnc Theater.
FEATURES OF THE STRUCTURE.
A Little Delay Does Sot Prevent a Satis
factory Performance.
THE OTHER PLACES OP AHUSEMEXT
The Duquesne Theater was opened last
night without an pomp or ceremony, but
in a very satisfactory way, nevertheless, by
the Emma Juch Opera Company. There
was an odor of paint in the lobbies, and
there were signs of unreadiness in small
details, but the biuse itself was extremely
good to look at end pleasant to sit in, for
it was welt wanned and ventilated. The
verdict of everybody seemed to be that the
new theater is a b:auty, and that it has most
of the qualities that a first-class theater
should have. Manager Henderson received
nearly a hundred congratulatory telegrams
lrom all parts of the country, and Pittsburg
really ouirht to be congratulated also.
The theater was not entirely filled, fears of
a postponement laavmg evidently anected
the attendance, but the audience was ap
preciative enough. The curtain was
not raised till 8:40, owing to the
delay in getting the scenery to the
theater a delay for which the railroad
was responsible. So the audience had plenty
of time to take in their novel surroundings.
The drop curtain painted by Mr. Dangrr
field was particultrly admired. It shows a
landscape of river and hill with a castle in
the distance, and over this picture crimson
draperies hang and around it big marble
columns rise.
EAS? OF ACCESS.
The first thing that strikes the spectator
forcibly as he pai.ses through the entrance
lobby, over a pretty tesselated floor, is the
easy character of the access to the audi
torium. The foyer surrounds the parquet
and is divided from it by a partition, with
glass windows, the lower sashes of which
nredraped with little blue curtains, and
which is intended shall be raised when
standing room is at a premium. The foyer
is carpeted with heavy velvet carpet
of subdued color, as are the aisles in
the parquet itself. The seats in the
parquet are of cherry, with dead gold
plush seats. The backs'of the seats are sta
tionary, for which the ladies will be espec
ially thanklul. The boxes are draped with
hangings of silk brocade of a pale silvery
color and unburnisbed gold, while the balus
trade is upholstered in bright robin's egg
blue velvet. High-hacked oak chairs with
brocaded seats are found in the boxes, six in
the lower ones and ten in the upper. The
decoration of the boxes lacks some brass
work of a very hindsome design which is
still in the manufacturer's hands. The pre
vailing colors in the walls, ceiling and
galleries are ivory and dull gold,
and they form a very delicate setting
for the stage pictures, which naturally
abound in high lights and rich groupings of
eolor. The curtain of ripe wine-tinted vel
vet, and the drop curtain, painted by Fred
Dangerfield, also gaiu in effect from the
subdued harmony of the auditorium's dec
oration. The house is lit entirely by elec
tric light.
rODK GKEAT CHANDELIERS
with opalescent glass globes are suspended
from the ceiling, and as soon as possible
two of them will be moved nearer the
stage, as in their present position
the gallery obtains the greater part
ofjj their Iizht. A band of single
incandescent lights around the balcony, and
brackets and chandeliers iu the boxes and
under the galleries, complete the illumina
tion of the house. The lighting of the
stage from footlights to border lights is
electric, with gau in reserve, and the system
is very elaborate, .including, among other
things, red and green footlights, which can
be raised whenever desired. The stage con
tains every species of trap door known, and
the equipment of the flies and scene loft is
equilly complete.
For "this welcome addition to her theaters
Pittsburg has to thank Manager David
Henderson and his associates, but the credit
for the various parts of the structure may
be assigned as follows: For the building
and brick work, E. C. Home and Smith
Bros., of New liork City; iron work, Mar
shall Iron Company, Pittsburg; decorations,
Mitchell & Halbeck, Chicago; chairs, An
drews Manufacturing Company, New York;
electric lights, furnished by the Western
Electric Light Company, Pittsburg, and
arranged by Kruger & Lasure, and scenery,
Fred Dangerfield, Chicago Opera House.
mE evening's attraction.
The opera fitly chosen for the opening of
the exquisitely beautiful theater described
above, was Meyerbeer's "Les Huguenots,"
a work whicb has for more than hair a cen
tury maintained a high place in the reper
toires of the world's leading stages. It has,
however, not been worthily presented iu
Pittsburg during the 13 years or more that
have passed since the Strakosch troupe gave
it, with Kellogg, C.iry, Litta and Adams
in the principal roles.
As would be surmised from its title the
book of the opera is built upon the politico
religious contests in 1572 between the dom
inant Catholic party in France, headed by
Catharine de Mcdicis aud the Huguenot
party, led by Coligny and Henry of
Navarre; the memorable Massacre of
St. Bartholomew puts the climax
to this plot. None of these leaders, how
ever, appear in the opera; the principal
character of the Catholic party being Mar
guerite de Valois daughter of the Mcdicis
and at the time betrothed to Navarre and
St. Bris, Governor of the Louvre, whose
daughter, Valentine, she plans to wed to
Raoul di Nantjis, a Protestant gentleman,
who, with his staunch old henchman,
Marcel, are the leading Huguenot characters.
But the peace-making plans ot Marguerite
do not succeed. Raoul, under a misappre
hension, spurns the proffered alliance,
which so incenses St. Bris and his friends
that they forthwith conspire to bring about
the massacre. En passant, history says
that the wily Catharine did this herself;
but no matter. Of course, Fafenftne is
given to another husband Count Severs
and, equally of course, she and Raonl
really do love each other. She sends
him warning of the conspiracy; he comes to
thank her before taking steps to frustrate
the plot; she coufesses her love and thus de
tains htm until the midnight bell ushers in
the massacre, and he, horror-stricken,
rushes away, while she lies in a dead
faint on the floor. The fifth act. which
was omitted last night, takes place iu the
streets while the murder 'and pillage is
going on. Raoul, Valentine and' Marcel
meet, and, finding that her husband has
been killed, the lovers are at once married
by Marcel, only to bs shot dead the next
momeut by the Catholic soldiery.
A SCOKE OF GEEAT BEAUTS".
This intensely dramatic tory, with its
many colored episodes, is embodied bv
Meyerbeer in a musical score of grea't
beauty, full of serious artistic purpose and
with scenes of much 'breadth and power.
It belongs to what is distinctively known as
the French Grand Opera School mingling
the more serious inspiration ot the Germans
with the Italian forms and melodic quali
ties and a certain pomp and splendor in
all things, peculiarly Parisian. The prin
cipal numbers of the score are more or less
known through concert performauces. But
special mention should be made, at least, of
the superb duet occupying the major part
of Ait IV., an unprecedented scene that
has been often imitated since some critics
find its influence strongly manilest in the
beautiful bridal chamber accne-of Wagner's
"Lohengrin."
Meyerbeer's masterpiece like Gonnod's
is inordinately long, and seldom performed
in its intirety. As was done last
night, the first act is sometimes
omitted; but it tbat . be necessary,
there is no ' reason inr having
jRaoul shet at the window and stumbling
back to die beside Valentine, whose tainting
spell thus seems like an uncaused death.
For the most part the needed "cuts" were
very judiciously made, nothing ot vital im
portance being omitted.
HIGH PRAISE MERITED.
Taking into consideration the difficulties
inevitably attendant upon the opening night
of a new house, the performance, as a whole,
meritshigh praise. The half-hour lateness
in beginning, the 20-minut? waits between
the nctsand a slight general uneasiness and
uncertainty upon the stage, are rcadilv con
doned under these conditions. The mise-en-
I scene was mostly accurate and handsome,
, even if the barge was not equipped with
a state-band and sailed rather
stiffly. The costuming was excellent. Con
ductor Neuendorf had a chorus of excep
tional size and reasonable vocal quality,
which at times sang thrillingly and at other
times not by any means so well. The
orchestra numbered 24 men hut it did ad
mirable service lor its size, though, ol
course, no viola d'amour was there for the
famous obligato.
Among the principals the honors lie
easy between Miss Carlotta Maconda, as
Marguerite, and Miss Jucb, as Ka.'enftne.
Miss Juch was in good voice and sang with
her usual faithfulness, feeling and taste;
in the great duet her impersonation of
passionate love and anxiety was
intensely effective. Miss Maconda, a new
comer, displayed a sweet, pure, flexible
soprano, which she managed with admirable
skill in the ornate numbers assigned to her;
ber dignified and easy bearing is also to
be commended. Mr. "Charles Hedmondt
had much" the most severe task in
the role of Raoul, and it is
but just to overlook certain lesser faults and
award him cordial praise for his effective
work throughout, rising to a considerable
height in the final duct. Miss Louise Mcis
linger, also a new-comer, snog quite prettily
the graceful lines of Urban; Mr. Vetta as
Marcel deserves a special word, while Mr.
Stormont and Mr. Delasco did faithful serv
ice in their respective roles.
Inasmuch as that excellent dramatic
soprano, Jliss Januschowski, and the lead
ing barytone. Mr. Hathjens (who will both
be heard to-night in "Eigoietto"), are to be
added to the above list, it must be admitted
that Jlr. Locke has this time brought
to Pittsburg by lar the best troupe we have
had since the National Opera Company
gladdened our eyes three years ago.

THE8EAKING.
A New Comic Opera at the Bijou Theater
Cora Tanner in the Kcfugeo The
Paymaster and Variety of Several Sorts
, at the Other Theaters.
"The Sea King," a new comic opera by
Richard Stahl principally, was given at the
Bijou Theater last night before a large
audience. The piece pleased the audience
very well after the first act, which dragged
painfully, and so well-liked was the second
act that the actors got a double recall, and,
a very unusual thing in comic opera, were
then called before the curtain. In a word,
"The Sea King" pleased the people, and it
was played to the cheering accompaniment
of continual applause. "The Sea King,"
all the same, cannot take a high place
as a comic opera. The music, for the
most part, is tame and cheap, and
there is hardly a tuceiul measure in
the opera from beginning to end. Here and
there familiar airs from other works gently
remind the ear of melody, but even the bor
rowed music is not remarkable for beauty.
A song for Miss Ada Glasca in the first act,
a chorus sung now aud again by the unseen
followers of the Sea King, a solo and en
semble beginning "Have YouEverThought
of Marrying ?" and the ballad for bass and
jhorus about the man who fought-and ran
'away, and a quartet called "Jlemory's
Bells" are the only numbers that linger
upon the ear.
There is a better story in "The Sea King"
thau most comic operas can boast, and there
area number of dramatic and picturesque
situations, which were rendered all the more
effective by beautiful scenery and costumes
in endless Variety, but ot invariable costli
ness and power of color. The lines are
simply lameness and inanity formulated,
and most of the laughter came where it was
plain the actors were "gaggiug" wholesale.
Besides a large chorus, with plenty of
pretty girls and some good voices, there are
three or fonr actors and singers ot note in
the company. Mark Smith, as Tho Sea
Sing, was excellent, as a matter of course.
He is a spirited actor and the beauty ot his
voice and vocal methods arc an old story
now. He lent a good deal of color to the
music which fell to his share and cut a
handsome, heroic figure as well. B. E.
Graham, as Don Bamboula, had the comic
side of the opera almost all to himself. Made
up as a ridiculous old man of an amorous
character, a hideous freak, in short, be
evoked a vast amount ot laughter by bis
absurd antics and clowning. It was very,
very low comedy all through, with some
bright spots of original humor. It is imita
tions of animals, and a few sketches of street
car life and other scenes, in which Miss
Augusta Itoclie gave him good aid, were
genuinely funnv.
Miss Ada Glasca showed the same
piquant girlish personality Pittsburg be
came acquainted with some time ago, in the
role of stores, and sang with more finish
than -when last heard here. Her voice is a
powerful soprano, with a wonderful clear
ness and sonority in the upper register, but
a little marred by a jerky mannerism in her
delivery. She sang several things with
brilliancy, and the fault was not hers that
she did not achieve a greater success there
is so little in the opera worth singing.
Franc Howard sang the bass song about
"The Man Who Ean Away" with some
cleverness, and the finale ot the second act
and several other concerted numbers were
well rendered by the chorus.
Two attributes tbat amount to a good deal
nowadays, the opera has, namely, costumes
of unexampled magnificence and well
painted, dazzling scenery. There are no
topical songs and no dances of a risky char
acter, and these omissions constitute a merit.
Taken on the whole, "The Sea King" is a
good entertainment.
C0EA TANNER.
The Kefngee'g Daughter as a Background
for a Charming Artist.
Miss Cora Tanner revealed her abundant
ability and rare personal charm ia a new
character at the Grand Opera Honse last
night. She assumed the role of Selene in
"The Refugee's Daughter," a rather turgid
romantic drama in four acts by Martha
Morton. It is a pewerful charac
ter in Miss Tanner's hands, this
Ilelene, a good, self-sacrificing girl
with a passionate! impulsive nature. The
story of the play is an intensely complicated
one, and not particularly probable in its
most powerful parts, but the interest in the
fortunes ot Helene, which Miss Tanner is
able to keep alive from first to last, prevents
the stormy tale from growing tedious. In
the duel scene, which is essentially the cli
max of the play, Miss Tanner's" intensity'
and naturalness carried the audience away,
and she was rewarded by long-sustained
applause. Miss Tanner is well supported,
Miss Ada Dwyer and Mr. Harold Eussell.
the latter as the hero of the play, being
especially strong in their delineations ol"
well-marked character. The gentler, mer
rier workof Miss Minnie Dnpree and Mr.
Brown, as the inevitable young lovers of a
romantic drama, admirably served its pur
pose of foil to' the tragic enisodes. Miss
Dupree's conscientious and thoronghlv
original study of character is as noticeably
artistic as ever. The scenery and costuming
of the play is as handsome as need be, and
the whole production worthy of praise. "
Davis Fifth. Avftnnn HTnuenm.
One of the attractions at,'this mutenm tbis
.weet has exceptional drawing power name
!y, Mattie Lee Price, the Georgia magnetic
girl, who for vears has. astonished the world
with her exhibition of natural magnetism.
She is as great a wonder as ever, for though
a slight girl pot weighing over 100 pounds,
she is able to overthrow three or four strong
men presumably by magnetic force. La
Selle, 'the Wafer Queen, also ac
complishes what is usually deemed
impossible by eating aud drinking
and remaining'ttnder water in sight of the
audience for quite a while at a time, and
Amphibro, the man fish, does much the
same feats. In the zoological line is the
large ape Jocko, who is ugly and strong
enough to kill anybody, and the curious lit
tle village nf prairie dogs. Francisca and
Jiminez. Mexican artists, produce some
really sweet music, to which the harp with
which they won a medal at the Philadel
phia Exposition in 1876 contributes. The
sensational feature ot the show in the the
ater is the knife-throwing of the Arcaris.
In this act a woman stsnds against a board
whilea man throws knive3 at her till she ii
surrounded bv a frame of blades, and it is a
thrilling and apparently dangerous per
formance. Other performers on the. stage
are Beasley and Monroe, burlesque horizon
tal bar artists; McDowell and Stephens,
amusing comedians, and the LuRose lamily
in Chinese acrobatic ieats.
Harry Williams' Academy.
Sam Devere's Own Company is a credit to
him. That was the verdict ot the crowds
that were jammed into Harry Williams
Academy last night. The original Wood
family appeared in their favorite organ act.
Then Sam Devere had bi banjo, and every
body was made happy. Each new appear
ing star seemed to outshine the preceding
one.
The Standard Theater.
This little theater, situated Non ew Grant
street, near Seventh avenue, was re-opened
last night as a popular price house with a
melodramatic play called "The Ranch
King," in which John D. Clifton's com
pany gave considerable satisfaction. The
play deals with Western life, but is devoid
of pistol-firing and gore, and well sprinkled
with specialties of song and dance. The
prices range from 10 to 25 cents.
Harris' Theater.
A very creditable rendition, of Duncan B.
Harrison's "Paymaster" was witnessed by
two large audiences at this house yesterday.
The company is a good one, Mr. Chappelle,
who has the title role, being considered as
good in it as was Mr. Harrison, the author,
who has appeared as O'Conor at the Grand
and the Bijou.

THE ELECTIONS BILL.
REPUBLICAN SENATORS DETERMINE TO
TAKE UP THE MEASURE TO-DAY
And Keep It Before the Senate UntllFlnally
Acted Upon Some Senators Object to
the Policy, hut They Aro Overruled by
the Others.
Washington, Dec. 1. Th Itepnblican
Senators were this afternoon in canens for
an hour and a half engaged in the consideration-of
the order of business. The main
topic of discussion was the national elections
bill. The friends of this measure recalled
to their fellow Senators the implied pledge
given at the caucus last session that the
bill, if allowed to go over until the re
assembling of Congress, would be taken up
and pressed to a final vote without the inter
vention of other business. They urged that
the time had come to redeem the pledge and
that the Senatcshnuld at once proceed to the
consideration of the bill.
Certain Senators, who have in the past
been set down as opponents of tbe elections
bill, or who at least were supposed to be
lukewarm in its support, not to tbe general
principle of the bill itself, but to the adop
tion of a policy that in their judgment wonld
probably result in blocking nil other import
ant legislation during the remainder of this
Congress, without guarantee of a successful
termination of the attempt to pass the elec
tions bill, objected to this course.
Several Western Senators, however, in
sisted that with a proper spirit of determina
tion on the part of tbe majority, the bill
could be passed.
After a long discussion, the caucus agreed
that the election bill shall be taken up in
tbe Senate to-morrow, with the understand
ingthat it shall be kept before that body
until finally acted upon. Furthermore, to
guard against expected opposition from the
Democratic minority in the line of dilatory
tactics, a committee of five Senators was ap
pointed to co-operate with the llepublican
members of the Committee onItuIes.in the
preparation of a rule to secure cloture of
debate whtn desired by the majority. The
old caucus committee on the order of busi
ness was reappointed nniinstrncted to Dre
pare a programme to govern the proceedings
of the Senate after the elections bill shall
have been disposed of.
It is stated that there were no votes cast
against thee determinations ot the caucus.
HO CAUCUS NEEDED.
Census Committee Left Free to Deal With
an Apportionment BUI.
Washington, Dec, 1. About 30 of
the Republican Representatives got together
in the room of the Committee on Appropria
tions this afternoon after the adjournment
of the House and informally discussed the
reapportionment question. Nearly all of the
leading Republicans were present, includ
ing the Speaker, Major McKinley, Mr.
Cannon, Chairman Dunnell, aud others.
The latest political almanacs were sent for.
and the changes in population shown by
the census and the political effect of these
changes were carefully canvassed. The
only conclusions reached were that for the
present there was no reason to
hold a party caucus, and that the Census
Committee should be left free to deal with
the matter.
The probabilities of the Republicans hav
ing a quorum of their own members entered
largely into the discussion. The majority
were sanguine that the party could secure
a lull attendance of members if necessary.
Several,of those present when asked it it had
been decided that an apportionment bill
should be passed, said that no decision was
reached, but each one personally insisted
that a bill would unquestionably be passed.
FOE FEEE COINAGE.
Haifa Dozen Bills on the Subject Introduced
hi the Tlouse.
Washington,. Dec. 1. Reprcseutative
Bartine, of Nevada, introduced a bill for

silver coin at the Government's option. Of
the bullion deposited at least 2,000,000
ounces, and as much more as may be neces
sary, shall be coined monthly into standard
dollars of 412Jj grains of standard silver,
and the standard dollar heretofore coined
and hereafter to be coined shall be the unit
of account and the standard of value.
Representatives Townsend, of Colorado;
Bland, of Missouri: Clements, of Georgia:
Wheeler, ot Alabama, and Pickler, of
South Dakota, also introduced bills for the
free coinage of silver.

Paeis, Dec. 1. When the train from
Nice arrived at Toulon this morning the
officials of the railway station made a start
ling discovery, which created a great deal
of a sensation among the passengers, as well
as those who were waiting at the depot for
tbe trains to carry them to their destination.
On going to the compartment set apart for
ladies a woman of about 33 years ot age,
whose name was subsequently found to bs
Zoe Marquet, was discovered in an appar
ently unconscious state, lying alone in the
carriage, with her mouth gagged by means,
of a napkin, and her bands tied together
with a necktie and her feet fastened by a
leather strap. Restoratives were applied,,
and she was eventually brought to con
sciousness. In reply to the questions of the authori
ties she declared that she was absolutely un
able to give any explanation as to how she
came to be in such a condition. She stated
she left Monte Carlo by tbe midnight train
for Marseilles, intending to rejoin her hus
band, who carried on the business of an
apothecary in the neighborhood of Con
stantine. When she entered the train she had the
sum of 7,000 francs in her pocket. This
money is now missing. She remembered
reading'Ietters and papers until the train
reached Cannes, and after that she has no
recollection of anything at all, and is un
able to offer any explanation as.tohowsne
became unconscious.
The police authorities have takeu tbe
matter iu hand and have opened an inquiry
with a view to discovering whether hypno
tism has been practiced on her and robbery
committed during the time she was in a
state of unconsciousness.

which the utmost importance is attached.
SirMorrell, although he had just returned
from tbe experiment, gave the following as
the absolutely positive results. He said:
To-day is mv first experience of the after ef

cases, who are youths of IS anil IS respectively,
are sufferins from lupus. They were both
treated to-day with a very weak solution of tba
lymph. In the lornicr ca'se the disease bad af
fected tho noso and lip, which were very badly
