This delay will not bo a hancap to the
democrats, however, as they Intend to fol

from the committee during; the framing of
a bill. Just as the republicans when they
were ihe majority excluded the demo
crat until their bill wa ready to report.

It may be that the members of the house
will all come back from the harmony con
ference In BaltlBiore. -which Is to be held
on Tuesday, In such a complacent mood
that a fight over the appointment of com
mittee can be avoided, although few are
sanguine of auoh a .result. -..
In j, conqscyup jtrhthe.'liaftug of a
committee to frame sl'tarlff bill, tha situa
tion In the senate1" is Interesting. In that
house the tariff measure are handled by
the committee on finance, the peraonnel
of which will undergo a considerable change
In the next, session, 1 t-.
Although. -tha senate still will bs repub
lican, four of the "republican members of
the committee, as now constituted. ,will
not be members of the next congress.
Those who will drop out are. Chairman
Aldrlch, Burrows. Hale and Flint.
There also will be changes In the demo-
atlo membership, as Senators Money and
Taliaferro have not been re-elected, and
there Is a vacancy because of tha death
of Senator Daniels. The total member
ship of tha committee la only fourteen,
and. therefore. In the next asaslon half of
that number Will be haw to tariff making.
insurgent senators are planning to de
mand places on tha finance committee on
the ground that their selection Is necessary
to Insure downward revision. On this
Issue they confidently count upon demo
cratic support In the event they are ex
cluded by the republican committee on

If the committee oa committees of the
senate should recommend for places on
the finance commute only such senators
who believe next year la too early for
another revision of the tariff, the proapects
are that there will, be a contest on1 the
cnste floor over tha adoption of the com
mittee's report. A combination of Inaur-tit-tit
republican and democrats. It is con
ceded, might easily overturn republican
control of the senate and allow the demo
crats to revise the tariff as they please.
Administration aenatora have given no
little thought to this aituatlon. In case of
a combination mrb aa has been suggested
In I ii fm Mini exchanges of views In cloak
looms and corridors, the only hope of
senators who oppose radical tariff re
vision Is aaid to be for the executive to
eto any tariff measure passed.
I here Is little doubt that the house.
h will hate an almost unwieldy
diiiuxratlo majority, would promptly pass
the bill oer the president a veto. This
would not be so easy In the senate, for
although democrats and insurgent repub
lican could muster a majority, It la ex
tremely doubtful whether they would tie
all to gut the necessary two-third to
pass a tariff measure over a veto.
Some of the democrats do not hesitate
to say such a contingency, from their
party point of view, preaents an oppor
tunity to them devoutly to be wished. They
ay that no Issue would so forcibly argue
the necessity of turning over to them
the reins of government, and would aid

Herman Tlmberg leads or pursue a lot
of fun through three hour of unrestricted
enjoyment at the Brandeis thia week.
"School Da ye " la not an elaborate article,
save In the manner of presentation. It
plot I flimsy, and Its story might be for
gotten without especial barm to any; but
It has tinkling music and Jingling dames.
and a chorus that I rare even In these
day of choruses, for It can both sing and
dance, and Is made up of comely lassie
who can easily make believe they are nut
yet out of short dresses (although most
mammas would Insist on letting the skirts
come Just a little nearer to the shoetop
than is called fur by the stage manager),
but these nimble-footed girlies keep up
their end In the rush snd melee of the
three acts, and do It mighty well.
Herman Tlmberg furnishes the big end
of the fun In his character of a Russian
lad who has come to America equipped only
with a violin and a dominating courage.
His comedy Is nut coarse or bumptious, but
Is good-natured foolery, with some flashes
of real humor Interspersed. He sings a
couple of songs and dances exceedingly
well. Jack Manley, Daniel Murphy (think
of a man with that name essaying a Ger
man dialect), Charles Walsh and Dan Cole
man aaslst strenously In the fun-making In
school and out of It.
Kdna Remlng Is chief of the soubrette
corps, and has plenty to do In her char
acter of waif, who turns out to be an
heiress. Caroline Stanley, plump and
comely, lead a choru and doe other
thing that are worth while; and the other
girls named In the cast connect regularly
with the laughter, for they all know how
tu go about to please.
One of the feature of the performance
Is the clog dance by "the dancing cops."
Another Is the finale to the second act.
In which the schoolroom Is turned Into a
"merry-go-round," and the chorus I fitted
to the change. The third act presents a
very handsome atage setting, too, and
shows Tlmberg aa a violinist a well a a
clever oomedlan. The Brandeln was filled
at both performance yesterday, and the
reception given the company prove the
popularity of Its effort to entertain.
"Am American Widow" at the Boyd.
"An American Widow" at the Boyd Is
not to be taken seriously. For one thing
the rollicking, galloping, little comedy play
of manner will not of ltaelf admit of such
a tning. The play deala with a widow,
who, owing to the circumstances of an
eratwhile Inconvenient will left by her
millionaire husband, Is forced to marry
"a temporary husband." She longs very
much for a coronet. Her second husband
must be an American or she loses the
fortune. The earl of Dexminster would be
entirely suitable aa a third husband, but
not as a second. Hence Jasper Mallory. a
young compoaer, becomea the makeshift
huaband with a divorce In the offing. But
after a year's absence In Kurope, the one
time widow returns and through the na
ture of things finds her temporary husband
too good a proposition to let get away.
As for Mis Lang, at Lie least It I afe
ti venture that they who saw Lillian Rus
sell In the same role several seasons ago
will not be disappointed In the compartaon
thus afforded. Miss Lang -portrays tha
character of "the widow" who wishes that
ahe oould marry "beacuse it Is so reducing''
with a charming grace of manner. Her
piquancy and naivete, that are ao char
acteristic, are given full play. Mies Lang
la given tha opportunity to wear several
Imported gowns that draw gasps of ad
miration from the feminine part of the
house,
Mr. Lynch does not' overdo the part of
the young genius, but gives a very sensible
portrayal of a oommonsense young man of
teient.
Miss Du Bols aa Mme. Abalonl, an Irish
prima donna with an artistic temperament
makes the moat out of a very good part.
The fortune-hunting earl of Dexminster
Is happily cast In Kdwln Evans, who fur
ther strengthens a favor already strong
In the hearts of his hearers. Tha rest of
the company enters Into their parte with
as sprightly a sest as the principals.
Aandevlll at the American.
To three large audience, Bob Fttxslm
mi ns, once heavyweight champion prize
fighter of the world, told the story of his
start In the ring, pleaded for recognition
of the fact that a man may be a prize
fighter and still a man In ths truest and
highest sense of the word, and won hearty
applauae at the American theater yester
day. Mr. Fltislmmons and his wife, Julia
Glfford Fltsslmmons, offer a one-act play
let "A Man'a a Man for a' That." which
la the beadllner of the bill which opened
yesterday afternoon and will continue the
balance of the week. Mr. Fltislmmons
beautifully sings several numbers. Her
voire la strong, well controlled and pos
seaeea a remarkable liquid tone, especially
In the difficult higher register. The scene
Is laid In a gymnasium. Mr. Fltislmmons
gives a punching bag exhibition, closing
when ha drives the bag far Into the audi
torium. Mlsa -riadle Sherman offers some de
lightful character studies nf vlsitois to
a photographers studio. They call fur
fine acting, and Miaa Sherman meets all

The first effort of the cltv to prepare
for the legal fight that comes up thla week
In connection with the condemnation of the
cltv water plant will be made at the meet
ing of the city council tonight. A proiosl
tlon will be presented to the council hv
the first of the experts who will be sum
moned to furnish facti for (he city's side
of the case, to be submitted to' the arbi
tration court, composed of Judges Thornell.
Hobson and Kllleon. who have been ap
pointed by the supreme court to act as ap
praisers. They will meet here on Thurs
day and will be ready to begin taking testi
mony on the following day. A letter was
received yesterday by Alderman Younker
man from Messrs. Burns and McDonnell,
Kansas City hydraulic engineers, accepting
his Invitation to appear before the council
and discuss the terms upon which they will
do the work of making a physical examina
tion of the plant.
In the letter. It la said, either Mr. Burns
or Mr. McDonnell will be here, and In
the event of neither being able to arrange
matters so as to make a personal visit pos
sible, that a proposition would be made by
wire. They aaid they would prefer to make
an engagement with compensation fixed
upon a per diem basis. They said In their
letter that they furnished the evidence upon
which the Dee Moines water plant valua
tion was fixed, and that as their charges
were satisfactory, they believed that a sim
ilar arrangement would be equally ac
ceptable here.
4'oanrll lias Authority.
Mayor Maloney said last evening that he
had personally taken no steps toward se
curing expert evidence to b submitted to
the court, but would be satlatiiid with any
thing the council might do In thla relation.
All he desired, he said, was that the very
best evidence possible should be submitted
to the court that would force the valua
tion of the plant to the lowest reasonable
figure. He said he believed Engineer
Klersted should be recalled and hoped he
would be able to materially reduce the
valuation fixed two years a;o. in Klersted'a
report a "going value" of over $20,flu0 was
Included, which would be eliminated from
the present consideration, bringing the
Klersted valuation under I500.QU0.
it Is also aaid that M. H. O'Brien, the
St. luls hydraulic expert who received
something over S2.0UO for examining the
Etnyre plana for a new plant, haa also
been Invited to appear before the court
and may have a communication for the
counoll at the meeting tonight. Mr.
O'Brien favorably Impressed the advocate
of municipal ownership when, after a care
ful examination of the Etnyre set nf plans,
he declared that the bid of E. A. Wlck
ham for the construction of the new plant,
amounting to l&K.OOO, was about 190.000 too
high, . notwithstanding Mr. Wlckham sub
sequently satd he bad made estimates
about tiiO.OOO too low, due to an error In
footing up the figures.
Company Evidence Ready.
Manager Hart of the water company
said last night that his. people would be
ready to submit their evidence whenever
the court was ready to receive It. and
that there would be no obstructive tactics
to cause delays.
"Of course," said Mr. Hart. "I don't
believe In municipal ownership now and
never did, but I know when to quit. We
will have competent experts here to tell
the court the value of our plant to pro
tect the Interests of our bondholders.
There is nothing to be gained by delays
and we will not resort to anything for
that purpose."
It Is probable, although Manager Hart
did not name the company's witnesses, that
John W. Alvord, a Chicago hydraulic engi
neer, will be called, and possibly Benezettc
Williams. The former fixed the value of
the plant. Immediately after Engineer
Klerstedt had made his report, adding over
1300.000 to the valuation, and Mr. Williams
drew a set of plans for the enlargement
of the plant after making a careful ex
amination. Both men were employed by
the watsr company and both are In pos
session of Intimate personal knowledge of
the physical condition of the plant. Kler
stedt made over 100 excavations in exam
ining the pipes, and Mr. Alvord had hla
assistant, Mr. Phillips, with him all of the
tlms this work was under way. The water
works employes were used In making ail
of the excavations and Mr. Hart aided
In every way the work of Klerstedt.
