THE DRAMA.

A NEW MTTSTCAL FARCE.Miss Eleanor Farjeort and Mr Henry Farjeon.

the talented children. of Mr. and Mrs B. L. Far-Jrcn. and grandchildren of Joseph Jefferson, havecßiaforeKJ In a musical farce entitled. "The Regis-try ">r?.ce which was lately produced at St.George's Hall, in London, under the direction ofG. H. Betjemann. and which Is commended as ex-sUltmir bright. The words, which are mellifluousBC4 gprlCktlr. were written by Miss Farjeon: themusic was composed by her brother, and "TheLcrsdon Times" says that "He has a flow of ex-tremely pleating: melody, and a very happy knack?r electing uncommon rhythms, while his orches-txatlos sad rart-writlr.jr are clever, and he is'suf-fdextly n:a*ter of the orchestra to adapt it to•he serious and Che humorous situations withp-eat skill." The influence of Gilbert is pereeptl-H« la Miss Farjeon's comically preposterous storytr-.t wildlymirthful lines, but this is not a detri-ment to the work, for no comic writer could have« better modeL The *= "Re of the farce is an em-plerment agency in London—here denominated an-UjtelM*«nce office," hut in England called a "reg-jtn-y office." Sir Julius, who is Chief of PoliceIts rrotr.ised bride, Arabella, and Lady Bird Ara-bia's mother, visit the registry office."intending toHi* servant*. There they meet Sophia, the mi,:rres* of the agency: Augustus, a soldier, the loveref ArabeHa, and by her beloved; and Mary Annea cock, once the sweetheart of Sir* Julius when intU vour^er days, he was merely a policeman.Various awkward and ludicrous complications en-Sue. bat at the last these oddly assorted loversare suitably paired. A few of the metrical collo-C-Jies and songs, selected at random, will convey6 clear Impression of the peculiar merit of thisfe'.icitcus farce.

OBITJ'ARY.

TALKED ABOtT HIS SPEECHES

STORY OF CRITICISM OF IT. PALL SPEECHDENIED—SENATOR PLATT NOT

TO RETIRE.

Governor Roosevelt and Senator Platt went tothe Republican National headquarters yesterdayto have talks with Senator Hanna about thework of the campaign. They d'd not go or leavethere together, having had no arrangement to

meet. The Governor wanted to know when hewaa to begin making s»pe<=Thf»s in the campaign.He arrived at the headquarters about 11a. m.,

and went away a few minutes after noon, hav-ing been told that he would not be asked tobegin a speechmaking trip until September.Senator Platt appeared at the headquarters soonafter the Governor had departed, and he talkedwith Senator Hanna and other leaders th-r» formore than an hour. He contradicted a reportthat he was soon to retire from the leadership ofthe Republican org-fcaiaatlon of the State.

Senator Hanna arrived at the National head-quarters, on the third floor of the MetropolitanLife Building, No. 1 Madison-aye., about 10a. m. yesterday. He waa accompanied from El-beron by Cornelius N. Bliss, the treasurer ofthe National Committee. Trey were soon inconference with Senator N. B Scott, Joseph H.Manley, Frederick S. Glbbs and other membersof the Executive Committee .n charge of cam-paign work at the headquarters. GovernorRoosevelt was the first one to Interrupt the con-ference. "When he entered the headquarters incompany with Colonel Youngs, his secretary, hewas greeted by many politicians, but he wasIn a hurry, and waa soon shown into SenatorHanna b room, where the session was continuedwithclosed doors.

While the Governor was In the room the lead-ers sent out for a copy of a newspaper contain-inga report of the speech which h» delivered re-cently before the Republican League in St.Paul. Some o* the Democratic leaders have de-

clared that a part of the speech, accusing Demo-

crats of cowardice, should be used as a Demo-cratic campaign document. When the Governoremerged from the room he was met by news-paper men. who began to make Inquiries.

"Gentlemen, Ihave absolutely nothing to say,"

he declared.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE GOVERNOR'S

SPEECHMAKING TOUR.

ROOSEVELT SEES HANNA.

TO HAVE HIS THROAT TREATED.After luncheon the Governor went back to

National Headquarters, but did not linger there.Ha went up to the County Headquarters onthe fourth floor to see General Francis V.Greene. Asked about a report that he had cometo the city to consult a throat specialist, theGovernor said:"Idid not see a doctor to-day, but Iam going

to see Dr. H. Holbrook Curtis later In the week.Iam as well as can be. and as .trong as abull moose, but my voice gets ridiculously huskywhen Imake a speech, and Ineed some treat-ment of. the throat. Ithink Iinjured my voicemaking speeches in the campaign two yearsago."

Governor Roosevelt left the city soon after 4p m.. returning to his home in Oyster Bay"Idon't expect to be anything but a private

citizen during the month of August," he said.Among the persons who were at National

Headquarters yesterday to gee Chairman Hannawere Thomas Dolan. of Philadelphia, and Rlch-ard K. Wise, of Virginia, who ran for Congressseveral times unsuccessfully in a Democraticdistrict. Mr. Wise said the Democrats hadcontrol of the election machinery In Virginia,but the Republicans expected to make a goodshowing.

Senator Hanna departed for Elberon at 4 p.m., saying he expected to be back at his deskIn the headquarters to-day.

Cornelius N Bliss he was asked Ifbe and Sen-ator Platt had not discussed the personnel ofthe Advisory Board of the National Committee.

"Oh. yes, we discuased that and various othermatters. We always do discuss Important mat-ters when we get together," the chairman said:

Asked as to the Advisory Boaxd, SenatorHanna said:"Ihave an idea who the persons willbe, butIam not going to tell you just yet. Iam goingto wait until the proper time comen. You willknow all these thirgs In due time. You don'twant to know too much al! at once."

He was asked If he talked with GovernorRoosevelt about his speeches.

"Yes, we talked about his itinerary and othermatters."

"Did you discuss the character of the speecheshe has mad-""

"Here." replied the Senator, with a laugh,"you boys are ail off on that."

Senator Hanna was asked about the report ofSenator Platt's retiring and Mr. Od»U beingmad" his successor, and said:

"Senator Platt haa a broken rib. but he is tnpolitics to stay. He is in politics head andshoi^Mers and with both feet."

Wnen Governor Roosevelt left National Head-quarters he went over tn the State Headquar-ters, In the Fifth Av»nue Hotel. Chairman Odellwas sitting at his desk, with his back turnedtoward the Joor. Walking quietly up

•dell, Governor Roosevelt bUndfilded thechairman with his hands and asked him to"Guess who 'tis." Instantiy Mr. Odell replied:"Heilo, Governor."

The Governor laughed and repeated the playwith WiJHam Barne?. Jr., of the Executive Com-mittee, who also recognized him. The Governorbroke up ali work in State headquarters, andthen he and Chairman Odejl went to luncheon atthe Union League Club.

Martin Hobson, of St. Louis, who has Just re-turned from Europe, speaking yesterday at the

Fifth Avenue Hotel of Parts as hePARIS had recently found it, said: "TheFULLOF Fair Is gorgeous and beautiful, andAMERICANS, well worth the trip to see it. The

trend of *he events in the worldhas b»en against Its success, however, and so farit is financially a failure. Indeed, the majority ofthe foreigners there seem to be Americans. ParisIs so American now that American plays andpretty American girls everywhere gladden the eye,nr.d American voices greet the ear. AllEurope andEngland, too. are thoroughly depressed over the Chi-nese situation, and every one dreads the outcome.This, coupled with the dragging along of the Boerwar. causes London to be a city of funereal gloom.Just before Icame away the news thar the Boers

had tptured the Welsh Fusiliers was given out,

and this added to the external gloom and gave to

th» Londoners an appearance of mutes at, theiro-vn obsequies that was absolutely appalling. Thisrecent victory will brighten them up a bit. Ifancy."

O. P. MORTONS SOX SERIOUSLY ILL.

|B. G. Peaks, of Sacramento. Cal.. fell a victim

to the silver dogma, and cast his vote for WilliamJennings Bryan in IS*. The last

CALIFORNIA tOUT year, of prosperity and the3URE FOR Administration's expansion policyMKINLET. have caused Mr. Peaks to ex-

perience a change cf heart, andthis year he willcast his vote for McKlnley andRoosevelt. When seen at the Waldorf-Astoria, yes-terday he said of the present outlook in California: ;

"For several months prior to the Presidential ielection of laW both the Democrats and Republi-

'?S?%r*K?J? re*? to *drnlt that California's mthe doubtful column.

'benefited California. Money liabundant and peo-ple are prone to travel and spend It During thea- ttoee year, the lr«"s<? tn Eastern touris« ,Wnl^*'?'1 wintering in Southern California hasbeen simply tremendous. Los Angeles Is our larg-est city In the South, and lately a Danker the"cmade up an estimate that for »he seven cor^ ;spondln* winter months of the last three yearsEasterners had spend MMa day there."

"In addition to this Influx of Eastern money."continued the speaker. "Southern California is en-

joying an oil boom, as petroleumENJOYING has been recently discovered In

'AN OIL that part of the State. The early \u25a0

BOOH. development of this new industry jIs largely due to the efforts of the

newly elected Republican Senator. Bard. They areoil crazy there now. and the scenes and excitementattendant on this new discovery are like those thatfollowed the original discovery of oil in Pennsyl- |var.ia. New regions are dally being drilled for oil;,hundreds of oil companies have been organized, andthe conversation and thought of the community isof nothing but oil.

"San Francisco is also very prosperous, to a Igreater degree Indeed than she has previouslyknown since the glad days of the Comstock boom. iFollowing In the wake of her rival. Los Ansrelea.San Francisco is makin? a bid for the winter pleas- Iure seekers from the East. San Francisco has often Ibeen called 'the Parts of Amenta.' and well deserves .the name. When the new coast line of the South- !err. Pacific Railroad Is opened it is expected thatmany of the Eastern travellers who enter Cali-fornia by the Sunset" route

—that Is, by way of

'New-Orieans and El Paao— or by the Santa Feroute will now come northward to San Francisco.Heretofore the poor railroad connections betweenNorthern and Southern California have held themin the southern portion of the 9tat«. but this winnow be remedied. Northern California in plct-uresqueness, Itnot la climatic advantages, far sur-passes Southern California. The coast of Californiais fast becoming to Americans what the Riviera isto Europeans. The comparison California does notfear. Alexander Harrison and William Reft thelandscape artists, maintain that Monterey surpassesJlonte. Carlo in physical beauty and picturesque-Besa, and that Santa Barbara. Coronado Beachand Santa Catallna are as lovely as Cannes, Niceor San Rene."

I.ATT ONLY SMILES.

A-lted about a published report that Mr. Odell

w;,u.d rot accept a nomination for Governor be-

cause he expected to be made Senator soon. Sen-

ator Platt mere.y Bmiled. Senator Platt was

asked ifGovernor Rno*-velrt speeches were be-

,;,M,.sed. and his only answer -a, another

"when Senator Hanna went to luncheon with

Senator Platt'e first visit to the headquarters

was taken by several of his friends to he a con-

tradiction of a report published In an afternoon

paper that he was ready to retire from the

leadership of the State organization on accountof his advanced age and feeble condition. He

was sixty-seven years old on July 15. He lookedyesterday to be about a* vigorous as he had

been for several months, and he smilingly con-

tradicted the report that he was going to retire

from political activity. He was expected by the

leaders in Mr. Hanna's room and was shown in

without delay. He talked with them about an

hour, and then went over to the Fifth Avenue

Hotel for luncheo.i before going to the OrientalHotel, on Mannattan Beach.

When asked what was the subject of the con-

ference he said. "Republican matters only." and

to a question a* to what the significance of the

conference was he said:-It mean* we are going to carry everything

Republican in this State."

He was asked if the matter was not very Im-

portant and of public interest. He replied:

-yet it was important and of public inter-

est, but unfortunately Ican say nothing about

the matter."

The Governor said he understood that his

speech -would be used as a Republican cam-paign document. As he was leaving th? head-quarters, the Governor added he had heard that

Senator Platt was expected to arrive there, but

he could not wait to see him. He had been out

of the buildingonly a few minutes when Senator

Platt arrived.

"Were you criticised?" he was aaked"Oh, no! Oh, no!"

•"Yes. we did talk that over, as well a? th»

other speeches Imade. The speech in St. Paul

waa broag-ht up."

The newspaper men persisted, and he said he

had had a pleasant talk with Mr. Hanna andthe other members of the Executive Committee

about his speechmaklngr trip, which win begin

In September. He was asked If the talk in-

cluded the speeches that he had made In the

"West, notably the one in St. Paul In which he

criticised the bravery and patriotism of theDemocrats, and he said:

O'rtß NOMINATIONS FOR THE OF-

FICES TO BE FILLED.

Dover. Del.. July 30 (Special).— Union Re-publican Stat« Central Committee met this after-noon at the Hotel Richardson behind closed door?.The main business of the committee was the amend-ing of the call for a State convention relative tothe nominee for Congressman, which calls for thenominating of a candidate for th» short term, oc-casioned by the death of the late John H. Hoffeeker,and also the nominating of a candidate for a Ion?term of two years. The committee decided tonominate one man for both terms. Other busi-ness was transacted In the committee, which. ow-ing to the avowed eecretiveness of each member\u25a0when asked concerning the meeting, Is believedto be a surprise to be spmnsr shortly upon thevoters of Delaware, which win materially affectthe Republican situation In this State among bothfactions of the party. All the members of thecommittee were present except Mr. Addicks.

The State conventions of both factions will beheld respectively on August a and 23. and the re-sult is looked forward to with unusual Interest.The main issue will be. among th» Regulars, theoverthrow of Addicks. and among the Unions forhis retention. While the Republicans of Delawareare a unit on the head of the ticket It Is theobject of the Regulars, if possible, to eliminateMr. Addicks from the State politics of the party.While the Regular* are a minority in Kent Coun-ty they have in New-Castle and Sussex countiesenough followers to block the game of the Unions,

and by the aid of the Democrats, which Ifneces-sary will be given, to defeat the plans laid bythem.

The Regulars have one- advantage over thpUnions In that they hold their convention on Au-gust 21, two days earlier than the Unions, andwhatever 1* dona by the Regulars will have to ieopenly accepted or rejected by the Unions. What-ever "the feeling of the Unions may be towardthe Regulars, they cannot afford to turn down thePresidential El-tors put up by the Regulars,among whom will be Colonel Henry A. Dupout.the backbone of the Regular organization, as itwas understood at the Philadelphia Conventionthat the Unions should support the nominees ofthe Republican party in Delaware, which has here-tofore been recognized as Che regular faction ofthe .'•'v and in view of th« fact that me Regu-lars hold their convention first their nominees asr consequence will have to be accepted by theUnion!

Much speculation Is lisa Indulged In regardingState officers. The Unions say that they ahoullhave the naming of the Governor, Lieutenant-Gov-ernor Congressman and Attorney-General, but this,

of course. will not be tolerated by the Regulars,

as they desire to adhere to the time honored cud-ton) of selecting ' •' \u25a0- Governor from the countiesIn rotation. ,lSussex County now has the Gov-ernor II id the opinion of the Regulars that thenext nominee should come from New-Castle. TheUnions ere desirous of selecting their nominee fromKent Ceunty, and Dr. George W. Marshall is theman named by them. The Regulars have not set-

tled on any man. but are willingto accept any oneon whom the party can be united.
