There Is so little busi ness done in the banks In Washington , aside from the ordinary banking affairs of a non commercial city , that the bankers have no views of value to express upon the financial situation and the means which the acting secretary of the treasury has adopted to relieve the stringency of the money market. The city Is prac tically deserted and consequently there are none here who have given the liuaticl.il problem sufficient study to warrant thorn In expressing an opinion on the subject. The treasury officials arc not Inclined to talk , preferring to lot events take their course. The action nt tlm secretary In Issuing the cnll I * criticized In some circles , as might have bocn expected , but the general senti ment Mourns to bo that the action was timely , and that the result will be beneficial to the business community , Under the cull thuro was purchased to-day nearly thrcn-xuartcrs of a million 4s and 4Ks. It Is thought that a Htpnt man v more will be received and pur chased to-morrow , ns there has boon scarcely time to hear from Mow York and other cen ters where the stringency Is supposed to exist to such an extent as to warrant holders 'In accepting the offer of the department.

Wheeler , the lion merchant who recently failed , was arrested this noon. The arrest was caused by the Phconlx bank of Hartford , which discounted a note for Wheeler two days before his failure. The prisoner was taken to Hartford where ho was arraigned and the c.iso continued , Whee ler being held In 35,000 bonds , which wcro furnished , Tlio failure , which was at the first announced as a temporary suspension , has proven to bo ono of the worst that has happened In thus section for years nnd the Impression Is spreading that creditors will release but littfo on their paper. All sorts of ugly stories are afloat concerning Wheeler's manner ot raising funds and much wonder IB expressed as to wbero the money has gone. Ono of the most peculiar features has been the extraordinary secrecy maintained both by Wheeler and the local banks which are such heavy losers. The rumors flying around are to the effect that Wheeler's alleged branch stores wcro merely figure heads through which to raise money. Local banks had S.WO.OOO worth of Wheeler's paper , nnd It Is thought to be merely a local loss.

Kmlle Do Lavelleyci contends In the Fall Mall Gazette that the creation of a court to which all disputes be tween Great Britain and tbe United States could be referred would avert all danger of war between English speaking nations. He easily proves how Important for England It is by a brotherly reunion with America to da away with any danger threatening her from the west He reminds Englishmen that In a few yean the United States will have 100,000,000 Inhabitants and be Irresist ible either for attack or for defense , and that their country , If compelled while carrying all the burdens of the empire to nght a western elant , may be reduced to a condition of secondary power , as was the fate of the Netherlands tn the eighteenth century. Ho considers that there are strong hopes of uniting in a vast confederation all the branches of the Anglo-Saxon race , the United Kingdom. Canada , Australia , and New Zealand , and declares that the union would onlv be complete it the United States wore Induced to join it , a contingency which he fears cannot bo thought of If even possible. Ho assumes that the United States will never be drawn Into a defensive league of the British empire , and that It will unvcr consent to take a share in England's respon sibilities as a European power.

Thomas Kocno nt tbe Grand and Milton - ton Nobles at Bnyd's. The audicnco at the Grand last night was composed of two elements , people who wished to. witness Mr. Keene for himself aud his acting , and people who desired to welcome him on his return to the stage. There was at times a combi nation of both these elements , and the result was what may truthfully bo termed an ovation. It was Richelieu m which Mr. Kcone made his first ap pearance upon his recovery in Chicago , and it was the sanio piuco ho played last evening before a largo and cultivated audience. Cardinal Richelieu possessed many of the elements of greatness. As a consequence , while the history of his time continues to bo rcait , ho will alike bo commended and contemned , for such is the guerdon of the world's heroes. For this reason it is an open jltiestion as to whether Hulwor's draw ing of tlio asttito statesman aud devoted churchman is an accurate portraiture of the man in life. With this , hownvor , the actor has nothing to do. It is for him to illustrate the intent of the playwright , it may be , however , with a light received from such sources as are in harmony with dramatists' work. In the main the Richelieu of Bulwor is nn ennobling character. It sustains or rather is based upon reliable history and is tersely out lined in a few of the opening vor&cs in which the cardinal , soliloquizing , re counts his services : Men call mo cruel ; 1 am not : 1 am just. 1 found Franco rent nsunuer. The rich men despots , nnd the poor banditti ; Hlotli In tlie nmrt aud Kclilsm lu tlio temple ; Hrawls festerine to rebellion ; and weak Inws Uottini ; away with runt in antique shontlios. 1 have re-created France ; and front the ashes Of thu old feudal nnd decreuld carcase Civilisation on her luminous wines Soars , I'hujnlx-like , to Jove What was niy art ? Genius , some say some Fortune Witch craft , some. Not so ; my art wns Justice. Inextricably bound up in the character are the temper , the passion of fatherhood and tlio imperious idiosyncrasy of Knight- ship. The author is responsible for the belittling of the cardinal's farseeing - seeing mind in anticipation of events and confounding enemies into a species of unoxaltod cunning. At times Mr. Keeuo's reading , intonation and expres sion of features load ono to believe he aeroos with the dramatist. To this possi bly may bo made about the strongest ob jection to the star's work. In every other requirement of the piece his acting is a near approach to the ideal. Ho displays the prescience ) of a statesman , tlio fear lessness of the warrior , the love of a father , and above all the unfaltering de votion to his word , to virtue anil to Franco. There was a , world of soul In the feeling lines which told of his re jection by thu king and his broken hearted abdication of his position , which was in keeping witli the grandeur of the rum which was tottering lo the dust. His expression of love , too , for his foster daughter was full ot tlio tondurcst emotion. At times there wits a loudnuss in his tones to which some may justly take exception , but on tlio whole the charaolori/.ution was grand in conception , admirable with regard to details , and artistic , espe cially In his marvelous simulation of ago , infirmity and disease. The company is a good ono , Mr. Wlieolock mak'lnc an excellent UoMau- prat , Mr Elliot a line Uaradas and Mr. Moore a very good Francois , even if dis posed to cut some of his syllables. Miss Itoyla'ti Julio was not .so successful In the heavier parts as it was in these where only emotion was demanded. Mr. Cur- ran a was a painstaking Joseph , but it was too slovenly to be tolerated 'on the stago. "Hamlot. " To-night , MILTON NO1ILES. Milton Nobles made his annual np- pcaranco at Uoyd's last night , before a largo audience in his new piece , "From Sire to Son. " The piece di.splavs the handiwork of this successful actor , and though It introduces a host of characters familiar to the amusement world , they are nearly all found to bo fairly well drawn and very well enacted. The picoo is ono of mining camps and mountain life , and the plot , while not so. intricate or perhaps so engrossing as that of "Lovo and Law , " is entertaining. It af fords scope for good work on the part of Mr. and Mr. Nobles and Mr. L. F. How ard and Miss Davenport. To-night , "Lovo aud Law" will bo produced. TIIK emeus. The Dons & Colvin colossal show Is everything that It claims to bo on ils Dills and justly Holds a nlaco among the best in thu country. The collection of ani mals in the menagerie comprised many rare birds and boos ! s from remote corners of tlio 2lu5 > . The circus features arc niir/.erous and dnz/.llng In their splendor. The performance opened with a olasslc and oriental pngoant , comprlslnc a grand display of superbly costumed men and caparisoned horses. Among tlio features of the circus deserving special mention arc the performance of the Jap. Satsuhia , with a lablo . and the dannz feats mid-ait of Mile. Alma , the bareback riding by Dutton and Loan , the splendid slack wire and Juggling on the rolling glebe bv the marvelous Miss Purvis , ana the phenomenal rlllo shooting by Captain Slubbs. The "Wild West" entertain ment is full of thrilling features and many declare it to bo the best part of the entertainment. For the first tlmo horn , the thlrty-oiio horse act was given , and glvcu with a spirit and dash which was very exciting. The great equine cavalcade filed through thooiitratico attho olo'o as though they were not going to stop until they got to Council lilufl'9. where the big allow ex hibits to-day. The Custor massacre was n very thril ling and dramatic representation of the most notable and totally disastrous bat tle of the woild's history. Many mounted cavalrymen and Indians made this fa mous battle scene appear actually real yesterday. The hlimodromo races by Mr. and Mrs. McDonald and the other great rldors were all that such races could bo. The ancient and modern races were run in a manner surprising. In n word thn en tire show is without a peer in size and merit. Council Bluffs show goers should till the tents to-day. APTKU A HIIAUPEtl. A Walioo Farmer's Search For a Unit droii * Man. Fred Andrews , a farmer near Wuhoo , in company with the shorifr from that city , was in Omaha last evening looking for a sharper supposed to bo traveling with Doris & Colvin's show , who had gotten $50 out of the fanner by a shrewd little game. The show was in Wahoo day before yesterday , and the farmer , in buying tickets for his family , showed a largo amount of gold in his purse. The sharper , who was near by looking for just such u sucker , proposed to the granger to exchange greenbacks for the hard money , suggesting that paper was moro easily carried than gold. The farmer assented and counted out $70 in eagles nnd double eagles. He received in return a roll of bills , which ho counted and found to be the propnr amount. lie was on the point o' putting them in his purse when the sharper asked him if ho could not take them again and count them to bo sure of no mistake. The unsuspected Andrews handed over the roll , and the stranger , after pretending to count thorn , handed back instead another roll of bills , with the remark that they were all right. Andi-awfl thrust the rojl into his pocket , but somewhat later , in counting over the money , found that the smooth shark had handed him but $14 the second time. Ho informed the police of the ullair , but no truce of thn culprit could be found in in Walioo. The en so was intrusted to the officers here last night , but they were unsuccessful in finding their man. Personal ParagrnohR. 0. L. Roy , of Fremont , is at the Mil- lard. lard.W. W. E.
