Vigorous Denial That Only the Hardware Interest Is at Stake, D SOPHISTRIES ALLE Several Stanch Vessels Soon to Be Chartered—Why Captain Good- all Objects. The war is now on in grim earnest. The merchants of this city have issued the edict that they do not intend to be shut out of competition with the merchants of Portiand, Jet the Oregon Raiiroad and Navigation Company say what it will. Their work thus far to rid "themselves of | the unjust discrimiration by the estab- lishing of a new line to be operated and controlled entirely by themselves has been rich in practical resuits and enthusiasm increases in proportion to the advance- ment made. A meeting of the members of the com- mittee was held yesterday alternoon in the Board of Trade rooms to complete its preliminary arrangements. were decided upon g nerally: That the charter of vessels shall begin at once and th the city shall be divided into d s tricts, each of which shall be thoroughly canvassed for sub-criptions. The work of the committee was private and it is not willing for the full details of what was n to be given to the public yet, but promises that this shall be done in due time. decided uy No permanent officers of the association | have been chosen as yet, but the original committe€ has been divided into sections, each of which will have charge of the can- vassing of a particular branch of mercan- tile business. It is believed that by th method the best results can be secured in the shortest time. The subscription lists for the movement were pu' in active circulation yesterday the committee reports, with the mos gratifying results. = The various members unite in stating that the trouble does not consisi in getting subecrivers, but in de- ciding who shall sizn among the first, Everybody seems to be eager to head the List. “Tt was openly stated,” said A.

Of them, Mr. Wheeler says: siatements are sophistical, for | all the ra‘es he mentions are ts of 24,000 pounds. All the s mentioned are in quantities of over 12,000 pounds, and comprise a limited list. His general tariff is very hich. If the rates were only fair and equitable, the | merchants could de vas:iy betier than they | are. Tuis has been corclusively demon- | strated in the past. He says that the goods mentioned comprise nearly nine- tenthe of the tonnage between this city and Portland. That may be true, for the rates are so very high 0o other goods can be shipped. “He s4ys his line is not Temunerative, but is run merely as a convenience, That is just what we have maintained all the time. We are not going into this asa transportation business, but merely to secure that territory which we regard as our legitimate market. We nare not try. ing to ‘down’ anybody else. We are fight- ing for self-preservation.’” Cap:ain Goodali, local superintendent of the Oregon Railway and Navigation Company, is vigorous in his assertion that ti.e new movenvent will find itself in a bad box. Hesays the rate of his line has teen *ridiculousty low,”’ and that no money has been made for several yeurs, He adds: “Now, however, that there isa sign or two of prosperity the shippers want to suatch all the plums. They ex, ect too much when they taink they should pay the same money on goods hauled from Chicago here and up by water 1o Portland that their competitors, the Portland mer- chants, pay for the straight railroad haul alone.” FOOD COFFEE. }"Qi’i’?

But the bad acter never seems quite so much at a disadvaun- | tage as when he is piaying in a part for which the author cannot possibly be | blamed. Last night I was moved to sympathy { for many of the actors whose names were under the large proud type thatarnounced | "*Charles Frohman presents the brilliant romance ‘Under the Red Robe.” " I These actors were forced by typoeraphi- | cal association to assume a greatness that is not theirs. Apart from the value of Weyman's ook the piay is a good one—so good, even, that it cannot be downed by a mediocre company. Last nizht we got no atmosphere at all | {in the performance and only the excite- | ment of purely melodramatic incident in | scenes that are capable of strong senti- { ment, character and picturesqueness, and vet there was enough brought out of the | payto raise the curtain several times | afier each of several acts. Edward Rose is among ths foremost of the men who have piven the leather- mounted, aare-devil drama a place in the theater. He is notably clever at adapta- tion; he reduces things without making them choppy and he has a fine sense of heroie: He will work up a scene so that the | situation itself -eems to evolve the bero- | ism of the character. This is especially | 20 in the character of Gil de Berault, gen- tleman, gambler and spy. Of late years we have seen many vil- lains of the drawing-room melodrama ex- alted to the state of herohood, where their worst deeds seemed to elic't the most sympathy — where the bac man's honest tove for & good wom-| n, flavored with rome token of ecrifice on his part, could atone for a | whole life of double back-action male- | volence. As Mr. Rose sees him Gil de Beraalt is much the same sort of ,man, only set back in the swashbuckler time of the Cardinal. Itds said of him in quota- tion by the author: His bonor rooted in dishonor stood, And faith unfaitbful kept him faise’y troe. The poetry of the bad, the fellow’s dasb, glitter, grit and wit give him a fictitious value not unlike that of the stage-robbing nero of the haif-dime novel who imposed on us in tenderer years, I could imagine the insinuating plaus- ibility of this Gil de Berauit Jast night, in spite of the entirely different conception \8illhm Morris took of the part. Mr. Morris did not believe Gil should glitter, did not beiieve he snouid dilate with arrogance, did mnot grant him any of the enchanting badnesses on which binge the issue of the play. Mr. Morris acted the part with arch simplicity; he was only gingerly melodramatic. He | had all of the manners of virtue forced into a false position. hersas the point of the play is that G virtues are forc»d upon him in spite of a worse nature. Mr. Morris’ blonde acting is in direct antithe- sis to the part. He precludes all perverted sympathy. 3 On the other hand Miss Mary Hampton conceives Renee de Cochefont to be & young person whose warm femininity h jallen charm to the very magnificence and nervs which Mr. Morris’ Gil is de- nied. Hence the ay goes all awry. The better Miss Hampton acts from her stand- point—wh ch is the right one—and the more completely Mr. Morris sumes his virtues the worse is it for the general re- sult. I was sorry for Miss Hampton, She is a good actress of the Georgia Cayvan order. Her - strone hold is ~ effusive ~womanl ness. She bas richness of the voice and a de- | livery that sometimes sags at the wrong end of a lineand suggests artificially in an otherwite human method of expression— but on the whole she is good. Beyond ¥rank McGivnn, who plays the dumb spy with something like convic- tion, the others cf the cast are notto b taken serious! Richelieu is stupen- dously ruinei by Giles Shine, who I un- derstand used to be with Stuart Robson and still retains the squeak, which he utters in the tempi of the Ghost in “Hamlet.” But the play isa one, and it may be worth your while to <ee just how it survives the acting.

AT A ROUND TABLE. | Walter Martin Entertains in Honor of Miss Virginia Fair, Theater Party at the Baldwin Fol- lowed by a Supper and a Dance. Last evening at the University Ciub Walter Martin gave an eiaborate dinner, complimentary to Miss Virginia Fair. In the private dining-room the round tcble was laid, bright with golden tones. At | either end of the board wasa huge vase, slightly ratsed on a wrought-iron stana; stately golden chrysanthemums nodded their shaggy heuds. Immense bow knots of yellow satin ribbon spanned the snowy | damask and added a dainty touch to the magnificent ensen; ble. The table was illuminated by yellow shaded lights and yellow candles placed in golden candelabra.

Schwabacher, daunghter of Mr. and Mrs. Schwabacher of 1900 Jack- son street, gave a theater party at the Baldwin Theater last evening, which was followed by a supper and dance at tne Baldwin Hotel. Miss Schwabacher’s guests, fifty-foar in number, were scattered over the audi- torium in small pariies of from eight to ten. At the hotel the entire parlor floor was pleced at their disposal. Paims, smilax and chrysanthemums were by the skillfal touch of the dacocator so arrayed as to transform the stiff hotel parlor and rece: tion-rooms into cozy and beautiful apart- menits. The ;relultlplinn bad been taken with the dining-hall, and, the results were tre- mendous and pl-asing. The bay-windows were transformed into cozy corners. The buffet was binked all in green and gold and from behina a wall of sunflowers floated the delicious musical measures for the dance. The guests were seated at six small tables, each of which boasted an indi- vidual decoration. The first table was bright with grape and autumn leaves. On the second table rich red geraniums glowed. Red carnations mingled with the appointments of the third table, and on the fourth tible meteor roses were used with the happiest effects. Red and yellow dahlias made the fifth table gorgeous and beautiful, and the sixth table was uniquely lovely with a charming arrangement of galardias, Aftersupper thedining-room was clesred and dancing inaugurated. Mr. an | Mrs, Willham Fries and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rosenbaum chaperoned the party. Theater parties were as plentiful at the Baldwin last evening as the autnmn leaves in the fabled Valley of Vallombrosa. Mrs. Willism Thomas had s theater party of eight. A. Wiltsee had a box arty, as had also Mr. McAleb. Mr, and rs, Evan J. Coleman had a pariy oi six, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph 8. Tobin also a party of six.

Brown's Friends at Chicago. Additional Evidence Taken to| Sustain the Action of Bay Conference, Will Not Be Used Unless Such Action Is Considered to Be Ne- oessary. OAKLAND, Oc. 18 — Dr. J. K. McLean, Rev. C. R. Brown and Rev. G. B. Hatch lef: to-night for the Chicago Conference, which will decide the standing of Dr. C. O. Brown, late of San Francisco. There is some idea prevalent that friends of Dr. C. 0. Brown may attempt to attack the ¢ aracter of Dr. McLean. Rev. C. R. Brown in discussing this matter said : “For 1he past week I have been de- liberating whetker or not it is my duty to join this committee. It hascome 10 mv knowledge that at the Chicago Con erence unjust charges will be made against Dr. McLean to the eff-ct that throughout this troub.e he was an enemy of, was preju- diced against and used malicious methods to down Dr. C. O. Brown. If this is to take place it means an attack not only on Dr. McLean, whom we love and revere, but also upon our church. This has lurgely determined me to attend this final conference, which, in itself, invo:ves na- tional issues in our denomination. If Dr. McLean is to be attacked it is my duiy to be there as an nnprejuuice«l party to speak in the matter.’ When the Brown trial was disturbing San Francisco, Rev. C. R. Brown was not on this coast, having come here but a yeur ago direct from Chelsea, Mass., to Oakland. He goes, inerefore, knowing no more of the details of the case than will be placad before nim. In discussing the situation recently, Dr. McLean said be bad nothing to fear. He does not know what kind of charges or what method of attick will ve made in | Chicage, but he declares he is only going there to do his duty, and he is not worry- ing over the consequence«. He is taking with him some important evidence in the case, which has never yet been made pub- lic. He says it will not be introduced un- less it is forc<d to come before the confer- ence by the friends of C. 0. Brown. If yressed to the wall, however, Dr. McLean declares tnat he will spare no effor.s 1o prove the integrity and justice of the de- cision of the Bay Conference. ————— e WILL AOT FOR OHARITY. The Gentlemen’s Sodulity Will Present “Damon aod Pythias.” Tbe Gentlemen’s S dalily atiached to St Ignatius Churcn, whose membership comprise 700, intend giving an entertain- ment on the eve of Thanksgiving, Novem- ber 27, at the theater of the college, on Van Ness avenue, It wiil be remembered that the same society last April produced *‘The Male- diction,” and the critics admitted it to be the best amateur performance ever pro- duced in the city. The theater, whicu seats 3000, was- inadequate to accommo- date ali the visitors, The company has been requested many times since to rereat it, but the dramtic cluband Rev. J. P. Hickey, 8. J., airec- tor of the sodality, have soared higher and have selected the famous drama “Damon and Pythias.” The plot of the play is by Jobn Banim of Ireland, who w. cele- brated novelist, a series of whose works, entitled the "Hara Tales,” are still read with much pleasure. The fact that the play underwent the revision ot the celebrated orator Sheil, who was nimself at that time a writer of plays, is a sufficient puarantee of its worth. The drama was first produced the 28th of May, 18:1, at Covent Garden Theater, London, and Leigh Hunt, the then great critic, said of the piece: *I never witnessed a more successful one. The acting was ad- mirable. The interest is strongly excited from the first and increases to the last,” Toe Dramatic Society is working very hari to have the affair a great success, and George M. Hermance, the eminent elocutionist, who has full charge of the performance, will allot to each member this week the different part he is to take. The music will be by the very best orches- tra, and the proceeds of t' e performance will be given to the Francesca Ralief Bociety, composed of a number of Catholic ladies, many of whom are of the highest standing in society, and who devote two daysin the week to sewing and oth-r cnaritable works, as well a-clotbe, from their own pockets, several hundred deserving families, irrespective of their religious persuasion. Each guest will be presented with a pretty souvenir pro- gramme. The names of the gentlemen participa- ting, as well as where tickets can be secured, will be announced later. DWELLING IN TUNITY. Two Warring Fuctions in the Local Democratic Camp. There was & row at a meeting of the Democratic County Committee in Judge Daingerfield's courtroom, and the meet- ing anjourned with two warring factions snorting the fumes of battle and declaring themselves out for blood.
