LONDON , Aug. 2Sj There has bien no
novelty al the theaters this week , but the
nlr la full of. busy preparation * for the Sep
tember opening" ! . >
The marriuU o ( Lorna has Centered the
HsU ot "llbrftlllsti" anil has prepared the
book of an opera to which Mr. Hahilsh Me-
Cunn has written tlie music. The subject
matter has not. yet transpired , but the sub
ject doubtlessly Is Scotch , and I lie author
la rather an adept at "rhymtrel , " having
turned the Psalms Into verse , or rather
rhymes , some years ngo. The marquis Is
ambitious to have Ills work performed at
a vest end theater , but her majesty has. re
fused permission , coupllrig the refusal with
a. partial promlsa to hare 11 produced at
Windsor or Oalinoral.
Mr. Wilson Qarrttt produced at Ills Leeds
theater last Wednesday "Tho Manxman , " an
adaptation of his friend Hal Calno's neto
book of the same name. It Is an exceedingly
powerful play , drawn from a book which
the critics have not hesitated to describe
as one of ths very finest novels of the ccn-
lury.The
The play follows the book very closely
"Mr. IlarrclL's adaptation having the advantage
ot condensation and elimination of what an
excited reader of the book would call "use
less. " By virtue of this compression Mr.
Barrett made patent on "Hen My Cbree. " his
adaptation ot Mr. Hal Calne's "The Deem-
oter. "
The story ot "The Manxman" as unfolded In
the play Is as old as the bible , the story of
David , B.ith haba and Uriah , and the moral
of the play N laid down with terrific em
phasis in the old text : "What shall It profit
a man If ho Rain the whole world and lose
Ills own soult"
18 LIKE OTHELLO.
The play Is a tragedy , and It possesses the
true note ot tragedy Inevltableness. In
bringing about the calamities , the awful
crises with which the plat abounds , human
nature will play Us part , but Inexorable fate ,
the Inflexible laws ot society , even a sort ot
malicious chance , plays a larger part still
It Is the same keynote as Is In Othello.
There are five acts and fire scenes. The
scenery was most elaborate , and painted
from Manx vlcv , a.
"Tho Manxman" will lie produced In Lon
don preparatory to being taken to New York ,
where It will open Mr. llarrett's eight weeks'
engagement at the American theiter. Mr ,
Barrett will also bo seen In two or three
other American cities.
The libretto of n new opera , the Joint
work of Messrs. Harry and IJilnard Paulton ,
has Just b-en completed for Pauline Hall.
The next proposed development of the
tableaux vlvante craze Is to be produced ,
huge tableaux depleting the battle ot Waterloo
lee , the engagement nt Tel-el-Keblr and the
march on Kandahar. It js proposed to have
two or three hundred living figures In ad
dition to the.painted ones end the Innumera
ble accessories ,

uncompromising treatment ot Ms subject
will probably arouse a considerable ! amount

"The Newv'tyl ; > iilali'i And Uutf-mornent Is
therefore well chosen to transfer the dis
cussion , from the region of literature to the
wider tirerii of tlio stage. The play will
present n series of ficeni-a of salient comedy
and satire , In which ( lie modern development
of womanhood Is contrasted finely , sharply ,
almost ridiculously , with the earlier uni } more
elemental type 6f the sex Rehearsals have
been going on dally tor a fortnight past under
the direction of Mr. Giuudy and Mr. Carr ,
who has engaged a fine cast to Interpret It.
Miss "vVlnfrcd Uinery remains the leading
lady , to all 'playgoars' satisfaction , and has
a charming' part In "Tho New Woman. "
Her husband , Cyril Maud , has a character
role that suits him admirably. Fred Terry
plays the hero ot the play. Hose Lector ,
otter a short absence , resumes her allegiance
to tlie comedy , anil Alma Jturry and G. H ,
Graham are new -members. Three distinct
types of the uoJorn woman will be Imper-
Donated by Laura Groves , Gertrude Warden
and Irene Illckards. Other characters will

There Is a , great whirl of fun for three

Mrs. Cora Urquhart Potter , accompanied

ThN engagement may be considered one of
ho principal events of the theatrical season

voman who sacrificed her position among

irofesslciml actress. She Is a delicate , refined
and cultured woman of remarkably strong
character and Indomitable will , and courage
enough for an army of men. After her
Irst appearance In New York she was as
sailed by an amount of adverse criticism
hat would have made ninny a stouter heart

hlngs , and today those critics who were
nest adverse and bitter In their criticisms
ire forced to admit that her 1m-
irovement Is most wonderful and
hat she posesses nil of the requirements of
a polished and studious actress.
Mr. Kyrle Uellew Is an actor with whom

Action of Local Association Lust Night
Flection of Oflli-ers.
The Milk Dealers' association held a meetIng -
Ing * In Wolfe's hall last night to discuss the
advisability of raising the price of milk.
There was a large attendance , It Is esti
mated thai there are. 200 milk dealers In
Omaha aiid they feed on an average 7,000
to 8,000 cows every winter. Their expenses
for feed or ; considerable , and owing to the
scarcity of corn and hay many ot them are
feeding wheat , as It Is cheaper. The Board
of Health Is opposed to the feeding1 oi malt ,
but the milkmen say that they only feed
the best and freshest malt , and that It not
only keeps the cows In good condition , but
produces an average grade of milk. They
claim that they get the malt hot from ths
Kettles at the breweries and teed It to the
cows before It { .as a. chance' to get sourer
or tainted. It la claimed that malt Is as
good for milch cattle as ensilage. ,
The milkmen have been selling sixteen
to eighteen quarts nt milk for $1 , reducing
the amount th y sold In the spring ot
eighteen to twenty quarts to this number ,
Now they propose to reduce the number ot
quarts for H to fourteen and sixteen , and
then It H claimed that th y will not more
than inaKe expenses , The milk dealer who
has not considerable feed on hand for this
winter , anA v\ho Is- not In fairly good finan
cial circumstances , anticipates a , pretty hard
tire ( ot It In making all ends meet.
At the meeting last night the association
elected tlie following oUIeera tor the en
suing year : Louis Llttlcfleld. pr sKlont ; J.
II. Hock , vice president ; Grant Dadtoif ,
treasurer ; K , E. Pox , secretary ,
They adopted the following schedule of

CHICAGO. Aug. 25. President D&bs of the
American Hallway union was recalled today
by the strike commission. In reply to ques
tions ; he stated that he did not favor com
pulsory arbitration In the settlement ot labor
troubles. He did dot believe , he said , that
such R method would prove universally satis
factory. Mr , Debs was asked If hs knevv
ot any dissatisfaction among the Hock
Island employes previous to the strike. He
said that thera had been trouble among the
telegraphers of the road and that thery was
much dissatisfaction , Questioned as to the
statement thai there were not more than 200
American Railway union men on the Ilock
Island , the witness said the statement was
absurd. "The fact that the road was com
pletely tied up , " ho added , "effectually dis
approves such a story. "
Superintendent Dunlap of the Rock Island
declared the alleged black list had no exist
ence.
Superintendent of Police Drcnnfln was asked
to tell hovi the disorder growing out of the
strike Vas handled. "On June 20 the mayor
directed ma to use the entire force to pro
tect property and prevent violence. Until
th ? arrival of troops on July 23 the force
had handled It without any great violence
and practically no destruction of property.
Complaints were made that policemen did
not da their full duty In lawlessness , " He
said that many of those complaints were
made by deputy marshals woo v\ero moro In
the way than of service.
D Doty said he was In the employ of the
Pullman company as a civil engineer and also
as statistician and historian. He testified
that the Pullman rents were net high com
pared with rents at other places.
CLEVELAND IGNORED THEM.
Samuel Gompers , president of the American
Federation ot Labor , gave some valuable
evidence. Ho prefaced his testimony by a
brief outline of the alms and principles of
the federation and gave figures showing the
membership of the organization. The wit
ness told of the calling of the conference
of the heads of labor organizations , which
was held at the Brlggs house In Chicago.
He said that after long deliberation the dele
gates decided to request President Cleveland
to attempt to settle the strike. "We
thought , " Qsmpirs said , "that If Mr. Glad
stone could do so much good service In the
English coal strike such an attempt would
not be beneath the dignity of che president
of the United States. Accordingly a tele
gram was sent to Mr. Cleveland , asking his
old. To that message ho did not deign to
reply. In fact , ho took not the slightest
notice of It. Mr. Debs was then called upon
and gave a history ot the boycott , the Pull
man trouble and the railroad strike. "Wp
considered the matter carefully and finally
decided that we could not order a general
strike , that It would bo a usurpation , of
power and would fcr many reasons b3 un
wise. The delegates expressed their sym
pathy with the moverrent and soon aftcr-
\\ard we adjourned. "
Mr. Gompers : " : cr > read from the secre
tary's report s. detailed statement of the
proceedings of the conference.
Mr. Gompers explained that to effect a
general strike all the unions participating
must agree on the action , and said that It
would have been Impossible for the Brlggs
hoUse conference to have declared a general
sytn3athetlc ] strike' , lie * was.'a'sked tor'his
opinion as to metho'ds for preventing strikes.
"I do not condemn strikes as heartily as
do some men , " ho said "I believe that so
Ions as present conditions exist they are
necessary , and I believe all strikes do good
by calling attention to the fact that tha laborIng -
Ing man will not be driver farther down Into
poverty. I think the action ot the strikers
in paralyzing the railroads ot the country
was Justifiable , "
Tlie witness was rather frankly uncompli
mentary In his opinion of the strike com
mission.
I think this thing Is a little late In the
day , " he said. "This examination by the
commissioners Is rather In the nature of an
nqiust on a dead body. I don't anticipate
great good from the present Investigation. ' '
The witness had something he wanted to
say about the Injunctions Issued by the court.
Ho held these Injunctions wefp- nit rightly
based on the Interstate commerce law , that
that law VVJB not Intended to apply to labor
organizations. He said the Injunctions were
based upon court-made law , upon decisions
given In the absence of law.
When Mr. Gompers finished the commis
sion adjourned until Monday. An error crept
Into last night's report of the proceedings
before- the commission Investigating the Pull
man strike. The statement was made that
Mr. St. John , general manager of the Hock
Island , testified that a list of names had
been prepared for the. General Managers as
sociation containing the names of the most
active strikers. Mr. St. John mads no such
statement , but testified that neither the
Rock Island nor the General Managers as

they had such at the present time

WASHINGTON , Aug. 25 Since the ac
knowledged failure of the great A. R. U ,
strike there has been a manifest tendency
on the part of ths labor leaders to urge
their followers to unite for betterment
of v\ngo earners In politics. President
Debs of the A. U. U. has proclaimed this
as their wisest course ,
Representative- Hudson of Kansas said to
day : "I have no doubt this movement to
found headquarters ot the'labor organiza
tions here In Washington will be successful
It Is not Intended to remove the existing
headquarters of the Knights of Labor from
Philadelphia , ncr to bring the central office
of any order here , but merely to have head
quarters where reprpsentatlves of Jaborlng
organizations will be maintained who can
work In the Interests of labor. The true
friends of laboring men have always ad-
vlseil them to avoid strikes and have rO-
course to the ballot for the betterment of
their condition as a class ,
' Thre Is a greater tendency toward united
work among the different organizations at
this , time than ever before. This tendency
was manifested In the petition for the fre.o
coinage * ot silver and agajnst Interest on
bonds which was recently presented to the
house ( rom united labor. "
It Is understood that he organizations will
maintain agents hero to look after their
political Interests , as someot them do now ,
but that these representatives will ba ex
pected to co-operate for the furtherance cl
legislation deemed to be for their interests.

CHICAGO , Aug. 25- The Northern 1'aclflc'
has backed < } pnn In th < ? position It.has main
tained since the b glnnlng of the year against
3anadlari Pacific differentials from trunk line
trrltory to Pacific codst points. The Cana- ,
dlan Pacific was allowed originally $7 differ
ential on first-class , V.J { 5 on second class ,
the understanding being that the differentials
were to apply only ort business sent from
Victoria by water. The See line Immediately
on the strength of te ! allowance made by
the Canadian Pacific made a differential of
$3.50 from both the Northern and the Great
Northern. They Immediately cut their St.
Paul rates $3.60 to correspond with the tarlfl
Issued by the. See llne. and the argument has
bee'n hot ever since , rates being kept In a
state o ! constant demoralization. The
Northern Pacific has now abandoned Us posl-
tloti , not because it believes Its position to be
unjust , but because It loses more money In
keeping Its own rates down than It will lose
by allowing the differentials to remain In
effect. _ jt
