If a large and representative audience, a
play that awakens tho tenderest emotions"
or the human heart, stage settings that are
sumptuous, and actors who fltnnd In the
forefront of their profession can bring n
theatrical season to a brilliant close, then,
indeed, Is the year I8M-H1OO at Hoyd's end
ing In a blazo of glory. For nil these ele
ments were present, In the fullest measure,
nt last night's, production of Ksmond'a
dranu, "When Wo Were Twenty-one."
There are. many very commendable thln?
In Mr. Ksmond'H play, and there are others
that are erjually reprehensible. One cannot
help but admire tho friendship that had ltd
genesis In th'o college days and that has en
duifd tho utress of the years that have
passed since the friends with whom tho
utory deals quitted the roof of their alma
mater and went each his hopirate way. It
Is trim, probably, that their paths In life
Jiad crossed at Intervals, but every one
knows how easy it Is to forget the promlacH
of undying fealty that aro made nt every
commencement season, even when such
meetings occur, and how often it happenu
that tho cares of tho world and ftollcltudo for
pelf are allowed to efface from tho memory
tho vows that arc made at that period of llfo
when tho young man looks upon the world
ns lying at IiIh feet, ready to hall him king.
Twenty years after, these companions who
had tro.l tht lasslc 'walks of college to
Kethcrmcein'nd renew the memory of tho
Konetjy days. j?jt Is' all very genuine and
musf'havo recoiled similar occasions to al
most every person. n tho audlenco. One. a
friend to all of the four who met, had died
and left to their Joint caro tin Infant boy
whom, lto had nsked them to educate and
bring up nfter tho manner of a well-bred
Kngllsh lad. They have been faithful to tho
trust anil It Is tho escapades of this boy,

nntlf of the play. So far as the dramn
deals with this youth, and the friendship of
tho former classmatcB, it is very beautiful
nnd wholesome. Tho game of cards with
which the piece opens, the misdeals due to
the telling of too many reminiscences, the
spirit of camaraderie that pervades the en
tire net nil this was very charming and full
of verisimilitude. It Is good to feel, even If
the ttrught be but a figment of the fancy,
that such frlendchlps still exist In this
busy, workaday world.
The discordant note In what would hnve
otherwise been a delightful piece of work
Is sounded In tho attachment, of the youth,
who has been committed to the care of this
quartet of friends, for an actress of ques
tionable repute. It Is still more unfor
tunate that the author shouid hnvo deemed
It necessary to grow so realistic ns to lead
him to introduce the fatal third art. It was
not necessary to the story, for what actually
happened there could have been told In n,
page of dialogue and tho audience been
spared tho witnessing of a scene that was.
to say the least, risque, nnd fell but little
short of bcln? offensive. It may bo true
that such resorts as tho Corinthian club
actually exist, but we do not need to be re
minded of them so vividly. Moreover. It Is
banal and cheap. In the work of n third
rntc author It might be tolerated, but not
In the production of ho gifted a writer ns
Mr. Rsmond has shown himself to be. The
redeeming feature tho one that pleads for
mercy for what has Immediately preceoVd
It Ih found In tho closing net, where the
author returns to his original theme and
gives, one after another, n succession of
tho most delightful pictures that have ever
been drawn upon any ntage.
It Is unnecessary to speak of the worn
rf Mr. Ooodwln further than to say that
ho has a role that fits him well and that
ho Ih still the flnlrhcd actor whom wo have
learned to admire In the years thnt havo
parsed nml gone. He still twew the snmo
quiet methods and his work has yet tho
old naturalness that has always made hln.
po acceptable. Hli opportunities arc not
so great ns In other plays with which he
has been connected, but they are nmple to
show that ho Is still worthy to be reck
oned ns among Jhe princes of 'the realm of
comedy,' His, face hse lest none of Its won
drrful mobility, his voice nothing of Its
music, his eyes nono of their power of ex
pression. That 'da, Is still a favorlto the
largo rtuBlciic.e N last night bore eloquent
testimony and hat he deser.ved the favor
with-which ho met ndno .will deny.
So far as tho play Is concerned It gives
Miss Elliott more opportunities than hnve
been accorded her In previous plays In which
sho han appeared as co-utar with Mr. Good
win. Hor work last night proved her to
bo a woman of ability and demonstrated
that she has been a hard worker and an
earnest student of matters thentrical. She
has broadened meawurably since die wus
last seen In tho city and glvos promise of
still further g'rowth. Her part Is admira
bly adapted to her abilities and she nct
with an easy grace and without resorting to
tricks that women ot less ability aro prone
to adopt.
Only brief mention can be made of Messrs.
O'llrlnn, (illlmore and Handyslde, who
formed tho "trinity" the three friends of
Illchnrd Carowo (Mr. Ooodwln). All of them
were so excellent that It would be Invid
ious to single out any one for Individual
comment. Very admirable, too, was tho work
of Henry Woodruff ns tho Imp, tho young
mnn whom tho friends havo undertaken to
educato and train Into ways of right think
ing and right living. Tho remainder of tho
company was adequate.
Tho piece Is well staged and the costumes
aro both rich and handsome. The audience
was one ot tho largest of tho season, every
sent In tho theater being occupied.

WASHINGTON, May 18. Nearly tho en
tire day in tho senate was devoted to the
pneumatic tube system service In the post
office appropriation bill. The debato nt
tunc was sharp nnd almost personal. The
appropriation was defended by Senators
Chandler, Mason, Carter nnd Wellington and
opposed by Senators Allison, Hale, Tillman,
I.odgo and Wolcott.
AllUon said the Invention wsb a good one,
but It was not usofdl In proportion to its
cost nnd ho did not favor Its extension.
Senntor McCumber made n speech In favor
of tho retention of tho Philippine Islands,
during which Senator Tillman took Issue
with him over an assertion that the people
of tho south were glad thn contedcracy was
unsuccessful.
Soon after tho senate convened Morgnn,
chalrmnn of tho committee on Interoceanlc
canals, offered n resolution directing tho
commltteo to make nn Investigation sweep
ing in Its character of tho dealings of In
dividuals or corporations with n view to
monopolizing a ship canal nt Panama or in
Nicaragua, and whether the Individuals or
corporations proposo to obstruct tho United
States m tho construction of an Isthmian
canal.
Morgan hinted that tho object of tho In
quiry prop.scd Is "to enable the president
of tho I'nltcd States to check, escape from
nnd destroy a lonsplrncy founded In fraud
and corruption against tho highest rights
ami privileges of pcoplo and government of
tho I'nlted States." '.
Discussing Hit' resolution Morgan said the
old Panama canal company was chartered
under tho laws of France. A syndicate four
years ago purchased the assets of the old
companj and reorganized under tho name of
tho "Now Panama Canal company."
This syndicate had offered to permit tho
I'nltcd States to share In Its work S3 far as It
wiib ablo without violating Its concessions,
which would have to bo scrupulously ob
served. ThU proposition was marto, he said,
when It was realized that tho New Panama
Canal company was approaching bankruptcy.
It could not bo considered by the United
States, ho Bald, without Involving the United
States In serious trouble with France, as
tho fi.000 or more shareholders In tho old
company would .also share n the new com

WASHINGTON. May H In accordance
with the request- of Attorney General Griggs
the Judiciary committee of the bouso today
considered means of dealing with the Necly
else nnd llki offense arising In Cuba. The
need-of action was explained by the attorney
general In a letter to Chairman Itay rf the
committee, in which he said: "Itecent of
fenses of a criminal nature committed by
an employe of tho pctnl orvlre In Cuba,
who has tied from JiMtlco there and taken
refugo In the United States, make It my
duly to c.i fl your attention tit tho fact that
the i.pplli'.itlon of the present extradition

In a condition of doubt and uncertainty,
which mnko It embarrassing to the Depart
ment of Justice to Berure 'bo prompt re
turn of such offenderB to the Jurisdiction In
which tho crime Is committed, and In which
they should bo tried.
"It In obvious thnt the laws of tho United
States ought to provide a vitro nnd speedy
return of fugitives from Justlco v.hj lleo
from Cuba nnd seok refuge In the United
States. I havo drafted nn act which will
make the course of proceduro in such mat
ters euro and certain, nnd I respectfully nslt
that It be considered and pnsccd as speedily
n pofolblc."
Attorney (."rnri'iil's Hill,
The nttorncy general's bill Is entitled "An
net for extradition and rendition In certain
caees," nnd provides:
Section 1. That sections 5270. 521. 627f,
823 nnd B2T4 of the KevNr-d Statutes nnd
all other statutes of the United States con
cerning extradition to foreign countries. In
pursuance of treaties, shall npply to nnit
snvern extradition to the Islann of culm
while occupied bv the United St.ite. unci
durlnir tbe continuance of the government
established nnd maintained In said Haml
1V tho United States In the same manner
nnd to tho same effect ns though Culm
were a country with which a trenty existed
stipulating and providing for extradition
In the CHse of nil felonies nnd other crimes,
past and future, against the penal code or
the laws In force on the Island of Cuba nnd
In the same manner as if the governor or
other chief officer of Cuba were the head
of nn Independent government thereof.
Section 2. Thnt every person who know
ingly and willfully obstructs, resist or op
poses any agent, person or officer who has
a prisoner In custody under the proVMon of
tho foiegolng section, In the execution or
his duties, or who rescues or attempts to
resuc. Hindi :erson whilst In rtistodv ns
ii foresaid, shall be punishable bv a lltic of
not more than Jl.ClO and by Imprisonment
for not more than one year.
A third section applies to sectlonn ,i27S
and fiSTfi of the Revised Statutes to tho ren
dition of fugitives between the states and
territories and tho Islands 'ti the possession
of tho United States under tho treaty of
Paris.
Wlilc It 11 11 i,f Discussion.
The discussion before tho commltteo took
a wido range, covering the status of those
officials who nro performing civil functions
while the Island Is under military control.
Some of the members regarded tho military
authority ns so complete that It covered tbo
casea of Necly and othern nnd would permit
the military branch to toko Ncely In this
country nnd return him to Cuba.
The view was general that the situation
In Cuba was most extraordinary nnd com
plicated, as Spain had relinquished sover
eignty, tho United States had not assumed
authority and Cuba had not organized a sov
ereign government.
J. O. Hay, chairman, 'laid before tho com
mittee a brief bill, having hut ono Eectlon
and providing for the surrender of offending
officials cf Cuba when dcolng Into tho United
States. This and the attorney general's bill
were considered at length.
It wius finally determined that tho ques
tions Involved wero ot such n fnr-roachlng
character, touching our authority in Cuba,
that It would bo dcslrnblo to securo co
operation with tho senate and tho execu
tive branch of tbo government and a sub
committee was appointed consisting of
Representatives Hay of New York;
Jenkins of Wisconsin; Llttlcfleld of Mnlno;
DeArmond of Missouri, and Clayton of
Alabama, to confer with the other branches
and report on tho whole subject next Tues
day. The Insular commltteo also considered
other phases of the Neely nnd like cases.
The resolution of Representative Hay of
Virginia calling for Information ns to
whether Director of Posts Ratbbono had re
ported the Cuban postal accounts all right
went to a subcommittee consisting of Rep
resentatives Cooper, Wisconsin, Loud of
California, and J. R. Williams of Illinois.
Representative Ilromwcll of Ohio mado nn
earnest peeoh In favor of Immediately re
imbursing the Cuban postal fund tho
amounts misappropriated. Ho said good
faith required this to be dono and that tho
Cubans nnd the rest of tho world Bhould
be mado to understand at once that Cuba
was being dealt with in tho strictest
honesty. Mr. Dromwell believed such a
course would speed tho dny of annexation
If btiih was to bo the outcome, by giving
the Cubans confidence In our fair dealings.
Pending the Inquiries by tho subcom
mittee no action was token on tbo Rrom
well resolution nnd tho subject will como
up again next Tuesday.

COLONEL R. S. BADEN-POWELL

Itoslrnrr.
Colonel Robert Stephenson Smith Baden
Powell, who'e heroli' and picturesque defenso
of Mnfeklng has been no less remarkable
than that of Sir Georgo White nt Ladysmlth,
is a seasoned frontler-mnn. At the heg'n
nlng of tkn Transvaal wnr Colonel Iladen
Powell undertook tho defense with a foreo
consisting of a part of the first battalion
of the Lancashire (Roynl Northl regiment,
the flrft battalion Munster fusiliers nnd
1.000 colonials, with one battery of artillery
In all -probably 2,000 men.
The siege began on October 13. ISM. and
was led by General Cronje In person until
he went to Klmberley to oppeso Methuen.
Baden-Powell was lombnrdcd almost iliflh.
Ho made occasional sortlrs. hut his forco
wan too small and his weapons too Inef
fective to inako headway ngaltist the be
sieging force. Colonel Plumer. who was
1 stationed nt Fort Tull, In Rhodesia, raised a
forco of 2,000 Irregulars to go to the relief
of Mateklng. On Janunry If! reports enmo
of tho relief of tho town and there havo
been similar reports since.
Colonel Baden-Powell is a cavalry officer,
who Joined the Hussars when he was Ui, and
Is now a lieutenant colonel In a regiment of
Dragoon guards. His life has been spent In
the army a".l In special service and travel
and he Is an authority on cavalry tactics,
having 'written manuals on rcconnolssanco
work and scouting. He Is a naural leader of
men and rallied around him nt Mateklng not
only a well known group of officers of high
social position, but also a seasoned band of
frontiersmen nnd adventurers. Tho defense
of Mnfeklng has been that of a natural tcaut,
whose car has been constantly on tho gtound
listening for the stealthy approach of tho
too nnd whose keen intelligence nnd In
ventive skill have devised a great variety cf
resources for thwarting tho devices of
Cronje and his later opponents.
Llko Cecil Rhodes, Colonel Baden-Powell
was born In a rectory. Ho la tho son of tho
Into Prof. Baden-Powell of Oxford and
Langtnu manor, and was born on February
22, 1S."7. Educated at Charterhouse, he Joined
the Thirteenth Hussnrs In 1875 and ns nil
Jutant served with his regiment In India
und Afghanistan and In South Africa. Karly
In his military c.ueer he became- familiar
with tho parts of the African continent with
which his name will hereafter he associated.
In 1SS7 he was again nt Capetown as as
sistant military secretary to General Sir
Henry Smyth, and during bis two years' stay
thero he served In tho Zululand operations
and was mentioned In the dispatches. After
serving threo years nt Malta he again re
turned to Africa, charged with tho special
service cf raising and commanding the na
tive levies In tho Ashnntl operations.
For his brilliant work In this campaign
he received tho brevet rank of lieutenant-
colonel. After tho Jnmeaon raid, when the
Mntnbeles rose a second time, he was chosen
as chief staff officer of General Sir Frederick
Carrlngton. Promotion as brevet colonel fol
lowed this campaign, and he was placed In
command of the Fifth Dragoons, At the
beginning of the Transvaal wnr he was se
lected to proceed to South Africa to ralso
a military forco on the spot nnd to drill It
Into efficiency. That ho succeeded In doing
so Ih attested by bis long and heroic re
sistance against a superior force.
