New York Corr. Philadelphia Press. Some of those in this city with whom Secretary Gage has been in correspondence for some time find in his Boston address complete justification for their inference that he had no expectation and no particu- lar desire that Congress should appoint a monetary commission. The Press, upon the authority of some of the Secretary's cor- respondents, reported that this was the Secretary's feeling with regard. to the mat- ter. This report was afterward denied ‘in qualified manner from. Washington. A careful reading of the Secretary's speech, however, causes the opinion to pre- veil here that he looked upon it as a mat- ter of little consequence whether a com- mission was appointed or not, for he, in fact, said that such a commission would simply give the American people a chance to have their say, and then, if their judg- ment was not accepted, they would have no reasonable ground of complaint. ‘The address confirms the impression which has prevailed here for some time, that Pgesident McKinley felt that there was a Tnoral obligation upon the adminis- tration to call the attention of Congress to the currency question and to: suggest the appointment of a commission to in- igate it, and for this reason alone the age, in spite of the very earnest ap- against the action, was sent to Con- There is some disappointment ex- pressed here at the rather vague character of Secretary Gage’s speech. It was couraging in its generalizations, it is said, but the opinion is that it was rather color- less in its suggestions. : Ex-Governor Flower is reported as hav- ing said a day or two ago that the tariff question is out of politics for this gener- ation, and that he is heartily glad of it. He also joins those who feel fred to de- clare that the United States fs entering upon an era of great prosperity. He re- gards it as a happy coincidence, both po- litical and economical, that the rich dis- coveries of gold-in Alaska should have been reported at the very time that the indications are conclusive that the begin- ning of a prosperous era is here. It is easy to understand why Governor Flower re- gards this as a happy economical coinci- dence, since the coming of gold in large quantities to the United States cannot fail to increase the healthful impulses of the time. But the governor is understood to be of the opinion that these discoveries and the coming of millions of gold to the United States just now will make it comparatively easy to induce the democracy of New York to ignore the free silver issue at the ap- proaching compaign. His own impressions, founded upon a recent trip to the west, are that the craze is rapidly dying out there, and before next year will have al- most entirely disappeared. For that reason he is especially anxious that the democratic party here shall not make any reference to the free silver issue this time, since its support of that policy in the campaign of this fall will cause its de- feat, whereas in all probability it will have no occasion to support the policy next year, as it will be everywhere recognized as one which has been abandoned by a majority of those who supported it in 1896. ————-+0+ AMUSEMENTS. “BETSY” A SUCCESS.—There was a change of bill at the New National Theater last night, “Where Are We At?” being re- placed by “Betsy,” a farce that is brim full of fun and which was well played by Fred Bond and his company. Beside the attraction of the play there was given to the audience an opportunity to see the Morton Cadets, who were present, occupy- ing the boxes and apparently enjoying the performance. They received a hearty greet- ing as they marched in, and when Mr. Ar- buckle made allusion to them in the course of the play the applause was loud ana long. Mr. Bond's interpretation of the old tutor was enjoyable, and its reception by the audience was all that he could desire. In fact, there was decided enthusiasm du ing the entire evening and curtain calls followed each act. Miss Maud Haslam, who played Betsy, did some remarkably good work. She attracted attention from the first, and as she developed the chat- acter of the scheming maid she gave ad- ditional evidence of her skill as an actress. Mr. Arbuckle made an excellent pater familias too much engrossed in politics to look after his growing son, and Miss Reimer was equally good as the too fond mother. Mr. Courtenay as the “infant” son and Mr. Hale as his friend were both good, as was Mr. Kingdon as McManus, while the ladies, Misses Maud Allen, Corinne Potter and Myrtle May, all Washington girls, were satisfactory, as was also Miss Caro- line Cooke as Mrs. McManus. “Betsy” will be repeated tonight. Tomorrow at the matinee “Where Am I At?” will be given, and at night there will be presented an at- tractive double bill ae Late Army Orders. First Lieut. C. S.

When he gets the ball he should turn fp 'thé right instead of the left and cover the pase. This play used to be Joyce's ferte, and the base run- ner that pilfered the third corner on him with a perfect handling of the ball had to do it almost through his body. Reilly has the nerve and knows the game too well to allow tke Baltimore players to show him up the way they have done the last two days. Boston plays at Nationat Park tomortow, and .another hard Pupposition faces the Washington players for this series. ‘The Beaneaters are: not one whit behind the Orioles as regards playing ability, and the Senators will be lucky to pull off one vic- ory. . ‘ Lachance tried hitting right-handed re- cently against Breitenstein, and made two doubles the first two times he came u| Dan Daub’s release by Brooklyn will not be recalled.

Selee said that, while he liked the deliv- ery of the young New. Castle twirler, he had a sore elbow, and unless he comes around all right soon he will be returned. Hoffmeister, the new third. baseman whom the Pittsburg team recently signed, is said to be as nojsy and “bossy” as Mugsy McGraw was when he. first came inio fast company. An eastern writer is authority for the statement that a trade of Delehanty for Fred. Clark was “framed up” by the Phil- adelphia and Louisville clubs last winter, but fell through for some reason or other. It won’t always do to pin faith to the judgment of major league managers. Clark Griffin, one of the very greatest of league twirlers, for whose release Anson could get the value of a blue grass farm, was turned adrift by both the Boston and St. Louls teams as not up to the league standard. Algie McBride, the local boy, is playing a great field for St. Paul, and is rated as the best center fielder in the Western League, while his hitting is above 375. McBride fs one of the players forced out of the league by Chicago's sun field. Whether or not Chicago still has a string on Mac will be known this fall when the rush begins: “That story about Tommy McCarthy Joining the Reds would look well in Puck,” says Eddy Burke. The truth is that this retired member of the Irish Heavenly Twins is pretty nearly as fat as the plump boy in the firm of Me and Him. Every now and then some one of the Philadelphia papers breaks out with the statement that Geier is not playing second base at all well. Not: seeing Geier play, whereon do the critics base their state- ments? The scores show no alarming error column for Geier, and the western critics, as a rule, have credited the little man with being a very clever and improving player in the position. : President W. W.

Fo - The game was-well played, to be sure. ‘There were sdéme ‘remarkably pretty “scraps” and” lively ralhes on both sides, but extremcly ragged play by both the champion and his partner marked the crit- ical points. When they took the first set 6-4 the acres nodded their heads and said, you so.” But after that the senior Wrenn and Larnéd went to pieces, and point after point was made by their opponents. Game after game slipped away, until the match was lost by the further score of 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 in favor of Wrenn and Whitman. Mahoney and Nisbet, the Englishmen, defeated Budlong and Williston with al- most ridiculous ease, and bid fair to prove formidable in the finals.

E F. MeLEAN DROPS DEAD. His Horse, Taluca, Wins a Race and * the Excitement Kills His Owner. Dr. E. F. McLean, the turfman, is dead. His death occurred under the most un- usual circumstances at the Oakley race track, just before the last race yesterday afternoon. Dr. McLean's horse, Taluca, won the fourth race, the Ohio stakes, and was run up to $3,000 by John Hoffman. In the excitement occasioned by this Dr. McLean had ari attack of heart disease, to which he was subject. He expired in ten minutes. The- fifth race was thereupon called off. Dr. McLean was fifty-five years old, wealthy, and owned a big string of horses, including Loki. Owing to his being subje>t to heart disease, Dr. McLean had freque! ly been warned by his physicians not to tend the races when hi were en- ered.
