After a prologue exemplifying the for- eign immigrants’ debt of gratitude to the union, the play proper opens with the scenes of political conflict preced- ing the great conspiracy against the life of the republic. John Vassar’s national defense bill is defeated in con- aress. -Virginia Holland, though ad- miring his. pluck, spurns his principles and encourages Charles Waldron, the professed friend of peace. Practically without warning the storm breaks over New York when 20,000 aliens of European military training rise at Waldron’s signal, cap- bilemnyg elas lel alata epee pre During the week, the rive BISMARCE has already had five more calls for Bookkeepers and Steno- graphers than it could fill.

Professing to fulfill the viceroy’s mis- sion, she organizes a gigantic counter- plot to free the enslaved union. Al- lied with John Vassar, General Hood and the other American leaders, she atones for her former folly by risking life and honor for the cause of free- dom. Here are shown scenes like the Sicilian Vespers, where an entire pop- ulation rises to exterminate foreign usurpers. Conspicuous in the dreadful ye glorious day are the Daughters of Jael, an oath-bound band of women patriots. The story as a whole brings in many extraordinary types of the polygot na- tionalities of which America is com- posed, Besides the big army of super- cipals was employed, some of the more important being Arthur Shirley, Lor- raine Huling, Percy Standing, C..

Arrange- ments for his appearance were taken up at once. It is said that no other president since Washington has Made such an appearance. The president divulged the purpose of his appear- ance to no one, not even to his confi- dential secretary. It was generally supposed that it had to do with the treaty making power of the senate. One opinion generally current was that it was concerned with the pos- sibility of the United States becoming connected with some international ac- ition to enforce international law and treaties. Immediately after the senate ad- journed,- Vice President Marshall, as president of the senate, read the pres- ident’s communication. asking permis’ sion to address the senate. At his own request, Senator Ken- yon was excused from acting on a committee to receive the president. This is the second time in the history of the Unites States that a president jof the United States has addressed the jsenate. On August 21, 1789, President George Washington addressed the sen- ate on a treaty with southern Indiana. Several senators were opposed to his views and President Washington is known to have said that he never again would address that body. ‘Wilson’s Communication, The president’s communication. to the senate follows: “Dear Mr. Vice.
