VIEWS ON THE FINANC AL QUESTION A Large and Enthusiastic Audience Hear the Debate. THE JUDGES’ AWARD The first debate of the second series be- tween the Law Departments of Columbian and Georgetown Universities was held in Metzerott Music Hall last evening. Fully an hour before the time for open- ing the contest the audience began to ar- rive., They continued to arrive, too, and in such vast numbers that at 7:30 it became necessary to close the doors, and only those holding reserved seat coupons were ad- mitted thereafter. Within pandemonium reigned, not only before and after, but at intervals during the debate. Several hun- dred students from each university were seated on either side of the gallery, each crowd attempting to outyell the other. It was not a good place for one who was afflicted with weak nerves or delicate ear drums. The hall presented a most attractive ap- pearance. The compact audience was dotted here, there and everywhere with the colors of their champions. The flags and pennants of the two universities were con- spicuously arranged at various points. A most unique decoration was worn by each of the ushers, namely, a necktie made of the colors of his university. The debate itself was of a very high or- der. The speakers were all good and their efforts were enthusiastically applauded. Opening of the Debate. The question under consideration was: “Resolved, That bonds hereafter issued by the United States government shall be paid, principal and interest, specifically in gold.” Columbian upheld the proposition and was represented by Messrs. Fred Achen- bach of Missourl, Guy Underwood of Ohio and Adolphe Monell Sayre of New York. Georgetown, upon the negative, was. cham- pioned by Messrs. Thomas F. Brantley of South Carolina, William B. Bankhead of Alabama and John S. Leahy of Missouri. The judges were Messrs. John B. Cotton, Lawrence Gardner and Frank Hume. ‘The debaters took their seats upon the platform shortly after 8 o'clock. President School Debating Society acted as chair- man, and announced the various features of the program. The first number was a pleasing vocal solo by Andre J. Scanlon. Mr. Beck then made a graceful address, in which he wel- comed in cordial and pleasing language those who had gathered to witness the contest between the two universities. He presented as the first speaker upon the aifrmative Fred Achenbach, who entered immediately upon a discussion of the sound money question, leading up in his argu- Ment to the question directly at issue. To be first in commerce, he asserted, we must adopt and use the most approved instrument of commerce. We must use a money which performs its. office every- where.” We must use gold. Gold is the money which all commercial nations use to adjust and discharge the balance of ex- changes. The immense annual foreign commerce of this country must be measured, balanced and paid in gold. It was plain from the common observation of all that silver was too bulky for large payments, and that gold has qualities which adapt it for large exchanges,and therefore government bonds which read in thousands and millions should be made payable in gold. r Mr. Achenbach then illusirated his prop- osition as to the relative value of the v: rious currencies of the United States by holding up in succession a paper, silver and geld doliar. . The first, he said, if put in the fire would be totally- destroyed, the sccund if treated in a similar manner would, as a result of the operation, be reduced to a condition which would render it worth but half its former value, but the value of the third would be unaltered. The paper dollar was not money, but the promise of money, the silver dollar was one-half promise and the other half money, and the gold dollar alone retained its full value irrespective of any influence and is worth a dollar here and everywhere. The object of issuing bonds, concluded the speaker, was to obtain gold, and it was but equitable that these should be made pay- sole: interest and principal, specifically in gold. : The speaker was closely followed by the ee and warmly applauded as he took is seat. For the Negative. Thos. F. Brantley was next introduced, and he opened the debate for the negative. He said that it was hard to attempt in so short a space of time to speak upon a topic which had staggered and thwarted for centuries the most sagacious minds that America has ever produced. Money, he contended, is purely a creature of the law and it made little difference whether it was coined from gold or silver. The demoneti- zation of silver would result in untold misery. A greater volume of currency was needed and silver should supply the need. He argued that the scarcity of gold might in the future present a very difficult prob- lem and an enactment such as that pro- posed in the question at issue would make it almost impossible for the government to meet its obligations. . Guy Underwood, who next spoke upon the affirmative, took the audience by storm. His speech was frequently punctuated with enthusiastic applause,and his telling pcints were fully appreciated by all. “Our government,” said he, “has always recognized the difference between a ccm- modity money and a credit money, the first having a value per se, and therefore of use in international relations, and the second having a fictitious or nominal valua, to be used solely in domestic trade. “As a consequence, the government has always paid its obligations in the highest medium of exchange known to natiors— «eld. The war broke in upon this rule, but as soon as it was over the public credit act was passed, making all our national obli- gations payable in coin. No one questioned that this meant gold, and our credit abroad was gilt edged. We were proud of our suecess, proud of our credit and prouder still of our hustling energetic qualities.” But with the advent of the Fifty-second Congress a new line of financiers assumed control. They upset the existing state of affairs by insisting that the phrase “in coin,’ which was to be found upon the face of eur bonds, meant that the interest could be paid in silver. This feeling upon their part was immediately followed by a gen- eral unloading of our securities, and dis- trust and lack of confidence ran rife. The speaker admitted that this govern- ment might pay its interest obligations in silver, but by so doing it would commit a grave wrong, and one for which there could be no redress for the wronged. An honest payment of honest debts must be the record of our nation. Whole Subject of Finance. Mr. Bankhead, who was the next speaker, made a very pleasant impression upon the audience. The question of the evening involved not only the question of bonds and their redemption, but embraced the whole subject of finance and the entire scheme of goverrmental monetary control. “In a sentence,” said he, “let us briefly submit what each side of the question is contending for. The affirmative side stand for the single standard—gold and nothing else; no silver and no greenbacks—which means a contraction of the volume of cir- culation, low prices for the products of la- bor, an appreciated and hard to get cur- rency. We will argue for a system that will be for the good of all the people, not only including the bond holder and creditor, but the farmer, mechanic, miner and mer- chant."" He then briefly reviewed the mon- etary history of the United States, and claimed that the present low price of silver was due not to its fall in value, but to the fact that it has been demonetized by a stealthy piece of legislation. Mr. Gankhead was frequently interrupted by applause. Mr. Sayre next spoke on the affirmative. His youthfulness had no apparert effect upon the strength and cogency of his argu- ment, and he made all his points tell. He made quite a point by calling the atten- Henry K. Beck of the Georgetown Law’ tion of Mr. Bankhead to the fact that that gentleman’s native state had but a few days ago a bill making all bonds payable in gold. In conclusion, Mr. Sayre argued eloquently for the use of gold from the standpoint of justice and honesty, as such action would uphold the nation’s in- tegrity and fortify its credit. The Closing Speeches. Mr. Leahy, whose delivery was the most powerful of any of the speakers, resumed the argument for the negative. He said that if the proposed measure was enacted the supply of gold would not equal the de- mand, and the utility of silver having been taken from us, the country’s industries would be paralyzed and general disorder and ruin would prevail. Altogether, he took rather a gloomy view of the prospect. Mr. Brantley and Mr. Achenbach then followed in brief speeches, summing up the strong points, The judges retired, and in a few minutes Mr. John B. Cotton announced their de- cision in favor of the negative. The usual demonstration followed, and the first de- bate was over. The friends of the Columbian debaters expressed dissatisfaction with the decision. ——.__- : AMUSEMENTS. Grand Opera House.—Lottle Collins has made very material progress as a lyric star since she first became celebrated in this country as the ‘“I'a-ra-ra-boom-de-ay girl.” At her appearance in this city last season there was a good del of surprise at the ability as a comedienne which she com- bined with her vocal and terpsichorean ac- complishmentss and the attraction in which she appeared at the Grand Opera House last night shows that she has been care- fully cultivating herself in the more legiti- mate lines of popular entertainment. This cultivation has by no means been at the expense of her felicity as a singer and dancer. The piquancy of her songs and the dash and graceful agility with which the tip of her toe seeks the point of her chin are in nowise impaired, but her work in “The Devil Bird,” a light skit, constructed on comic opera principles, shows that she is competent to accomplish more substan- tlal artistic results. In spite of the fact that as soon as a new dance is originated it has hundreds of imitators, Miss Collins Mmauages to remain wholly unique. The performance includes a number of spe- cialties of a high order of merit. The sketch by Ward and Curran and the songs by Annie Willmuth were entertaining. In a short comedietia, entitled “The Fair Equestrienne,” Miss Collins, Fred. Solo- mon and S. Solomon appear. Wood and Shepard follow with their characteristic humor and their polished musical perform- ances. Marion, Hayes and Marion, assist- ed by Misses Winship, Bishop and Warren, do some remarkably clever dancing, and the Brothers Meers end the specialty por- tion of the entertainment with one of the most skillful and graceful high-wire acts ever seen in this city. The audience, which igcluded a number of the capital's most prominent people, Mrs. Leiter, Senator Mc- Millan and S. M. Bryan having box parties, accorded Miss Collins a very hearty re- ception. Her familiar but none the less pleasing song, “Marguerite,” and her “Widow Song” were the chief attractions of her repertoire. There were many who expressed the wish that during her en- gagement Miss Collins will sing ‘‘Ta-ra-ra- boom-de-ay,” in which she made her first great hit. National Theater.—“‘The Princess Bonnie” made her Washington debut at the Na- tional last night, and, as usual at popular receptions, there was a great Jam of peo- ple. They were not critical, at least not hypercritical, people, and it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that they enjoyed Mr. Spencer's produc- tion thoroughiy. The author of “The Lit- tle Tycoon” has added to his reputation as a writer by this latest effort of his, and yhile it does not com “Cavalleria Rusticana,” hemian Girl,” and a few more of that class, it is in its own class quite creditable. Mr. Spenser is not as skillful an adapter as Mr. de Koven, but he succeeds very well in making his own compositions more melo- dious by reminiscence. And meJody is the scheme of the “Princess Bonne,” pervad- ing it with a sweetness that becomes at times almost oppressive, and makes the hearer ‘feel like hailing ‘a raw. edge har- mony with delight. But for all that, and the weakness of the music, the audience enjoys it because it is easy,.and resents with proper spirit the criticism of the musical expert that it 1s “‘sloppy.”” It is in the Philadelphia style, because born in Philadelphia, and anything but 4-4 time would be inappropriate. ‘The people in the cast are extra good. Mr. Frank Daniels, as Shrimps, leads in the farce, and at times becoming decidedly funny; Mr. Greensfelder is the second fun- uy man, as Admiral Pomposo, and the role js @ difficult one to make funny. Miss Minnie Landes, as the Princess Bonnie, pleased the audience from the beginning, and with her sweet voice, magnetic man- ner and pretty figure, grew in popularity to the end of the opera. A sparkling bit of femininity as agile as a rubber doll, is Miss Lillian Swain, as Kitty Clover, who made poor Shrimps’ emotional life a burden. Mr. Will Armstrong was a handsome sweet- voiced sweetheart to the Princess, and an old friend (not old in age, but in acquaint- ance), Mabella Baker, never looked prettier than as Aunty Crabbe. The others were no less equal to the requirements, and a pleasanter chorus to look at and to hear seldom gets before the footlights. The set- tings and the costumes of the opera are extremely attractive, and the eye Is always pleased, even if the car does at times. be- come surfeted with sweets. Academy of Music.—“‘The Cotton King,” by Sutton Vane, made its first- appearance in Washington at the Academy last night, and it went with a whirl. It fs in five acts and its piece de resistance is an elevator in the fourth act, by which the villain seeks to crush the life out of a fair creature,who is rescued on only about twelve inches of a margin, amidst the most thrilling ex- citement. “The scene is laid in England, and Jack Osborne (Mr. William Beach) comes to America and becomes a cotton king, to return to his native heath and claim ‘his sweetheart, Hetty Drayson (Miss May Wheeler), "who narrowly escapes being elevatored out of existence by Richard Stockley (Mr. Cuyler Hastings), who is the leading villain, with James 'Shillinglaw (Mr, Dominick’ Murray) as assistant. In addition to the real elevator is a real thunder storm, a real rainbow and a real glass window. The comedy parts are finely handled by Miss Amelia Mountainmaid Summerville as Kitty Marshal; Mr. Dan Collyer, as Ben Tupper, and Andrew Hayes, as Jimmie Appetite, gives a great eating exhibition that catches the house. While the Cotton King is highly sensational and contains much that is super-theatric, there is a great deal in it that is more in line with a genuine drama, and it pleases many more people than does the average ‘mealy- drama.” Butl Bijou Theater.—Carl A. Has- win’s “Silver King” company was the at- traction at Butler’s Bijou Theater last night, and a large and enthusiastic au- dience was in attendar.ce. This play is one of the strongest melo-dramas brought out during the last decade, and it still re- tains its drawing powers. Mr. Haswin, in the title role, gave a clear-cut, conscien- Se se ss ss ee see rac NG POWDER Absolutely Pure. ‘A cream of tartar baking pow- der. Highest of all in leavening strength.—Latest U. 3.

The scenery carried by the com- pany is artistic, elaborate, and: embraces more than the usual supply of mechanical surprises, the quick and: accurate’ changes speaking well for the stagesmanagement. Kernan’s Lyceum Thester.—Rellly and Woods’ Spectacular Extravaganza Company made its second appearance this season at Kernan’s Lyceum: Theaters last ‘night; and an audience of very large proportions was in attendance. The company has been strengthened considerably, and many of the best of the old favorites have been re- tained. The. show starts in with the roar- ing farce, “The Mystic Order of Undertak- ers.” Paf..Reilly. plays the principal..role in his old, original style, and other mem- bers of the-company do.goad work. Laurel and Harvey open the olio with songs and dances,’ gaining great applause by thelr clever work. Allen and West, a funny musical team, scored heavily.

Perry and Tenbrooke, dialect comedians, and Iler, Fone: ence maneen close the olfo with st ; . @ grotesque spectacle, ‘Hades Up to Date,” closes the perform- ance. A feature of it is the aerial ballet, a weird sort of dancing effect, in which a dozen ..women float and dance in mid-air. This novelty is new to the vaudeville houses and created a sensation last. night. so Mrs. Bond's. .Monologue.—An audience. which crowded the lecture room of All Souls’, Church, corner of 14th and L streets, to the very doors assembled last evening to hear Mra, Belle Bacon Bond, one of Bos: ton’s most finished elocutionists. She ap- peared in the monologue, “A. Bit of Mod- ern Ambition on the Part of an Aspiring Young Woman,’ and rendered ‘the princi pal character in a highly creditable man- ner. Phe program was opened’ by a plano solo by Miss Anabelle Bacon, after which Mrs. Bond made'her appearance. ‘The en- tertainment was for the Parish Union of that church and was’ jhaty chute! liberally applauded Ysaye Tenight.—Of all the musical events that havé occurred here during thé present season none was more welcome or looked forward to with more antictpation than’ the appeerance of the eminent, Belgian violin- ist, Eugene Ysaye. Mr. Ysaye came, faced his auditors, and from the very first sweet note that broke forth from his instrument his triumph was complete. Rarely before: had been heerd such genius. He won, with apparent ease. the admiration and approv- al of all who were fortunate enough to hear him on.that-occasion. The-mere-men- tion of the fact that he would again ap- pear before a Washington audience was sufficient to set the pulses of the musical people of this city throbbing’ with ‘antic!- pation and ecstasy, and this has been am- ply vroven by the sale of seats for to- night's performance at Metzerott Music Hall. Ysaye is again accompanied and as- sisted by Aime Lachaume, the eminent French pianist, which fact alone is pleas- ant news to those who attended their first concert. Marion Harland’s Lecture.—Marion Har- land’s last lecture will take place this even- ing at the Congregational Church. Those who have heerd her have been greatly gratified and instructed, and as the attend- ance has increased on each occasion, it is safe to predict that the audience will be large tonight. Lecture at Georgetown College.—In both literary and social circles much interest at- taches. to tonight’s lecture by Rev. D. J. Stafford, D. D., to be given at Gaston Hall, Georgetown College. Dr. Stafford will en- tertain with a series of readings from va- rious authors, including Shakespeare and Dickens, of whose works he has made a life-long study.
