The pictorial embellishments of “The
Land of the Living,” a new play by
Frank Harvey, are said to be out of the
common. It has been fitted out with
an elaborate and novel equipment of
paraphernalia and scenery. The latter
is amongthe finest examples of scenic
art, and in point of beauty, workman-
overshadow anything ever seen in a
similar production. This play will ap-,
pear at Hoyt’s Theatre, Friday and

giving his brothers, John and George;
full scope for high standard specialties.
That .he has admirably succeeded is

M'KINLEY MISSES WEYLER
Pupe’r on Our Cuban Policy.
Madrid, Jan. 6.—In a recent editorial
El Imparcial said.
“The United States. Congress has.ad-
journed for sixteen days, during which
he threats or accusations’or insults to
Spain by the Senators or Representa-
tives Will maintain the 'hopes of the
Cuban insurgeiits. As a compensation
our excellent friend. -ou1 almost protec-
tor, McKinley, has ordered an Ameri—
can squadron to the Gulf of Mexico.
,“gMcKinl'ey’S action," El Imparcial
ironically continues, “is most oppor-
tune. The Washington Government is
earnestly anxious that the Cuban war
be brought to an end. But now that
the establishment of‘ a. liberal regime
has caused many Cuban autonomists
Who were in political seclusion to re-
turn t6 the island. now that Gen. Blan—
co’s treatment of the reconcentrados is
as humane as possible, now that mili-
tary action is carried on energetically,
McKinley has been struck with theidea
off—making a naval demonstration in
the Gulf of Mexico in order to keep up
the Cubans' hope of American inter-
vention.‘ This is much like calling out
the reserves, in view that the proba-
bilitie's of an early paciflcation are now
greater than ever.
find an explanation for the proceedings
of the Yankees willnot be able now to
deny the moral effect that this meas-
ure, which was never considered neces-
0 a .
sary, Will cause among the insurgents.
“None of the Cuban leaders,pMaximo
Gomez, Calixto Garcia or Rabi, ever
imagined that the insurrection could
alone throw Spain but of Cuba. All
their hopes lie in intervention by the
United States. McKinley’s message to
CongreSS, as Well as the sending of
warships to the Gulf of Mexico, will
maintain those hopes, and with it the
struggle.
“The liberal policy of our Cabinet
upset the plans of McKinley, who had
relied upon the continuation of Gen.
VVeyler in Cuba. The United States
takes a longer course, but she always
aims at the same end. As long as 'a
wise policy be carried out in Cuba, in-
terference by the United States would
be monstrbus.
“They who were frightened at the
presence of a number of German men-
of-war off Hayti surely lack the cour-
age necessary to brave Europe’s indig-
nation. For this reason McKinley’s
policy is now reduced to encouraging
the rebellion, and thus prolonging the
war, foreseeing', as he does with more
or less reason, that'our internal trou-
bles in time will bring about‘a change
which will permit of his intervention
with the acqulefience of Europe.
“We must oppose t'hie plan by the
following means. Common sense on the
bait Of Sp‘ain, loyalty to the colony, ac-
tivityin our docks and energy in the
Government. We do not mention our
peeple’s patriotism, because it is un-
necessary. "l‘he patriotism-of the Span-
ish can always be relied upon.”
INTERSTATE COMMISSIONER.
The Succeqsor of Col.‘ Morrison Still
in' Doubt.
Washington, Jan. 6.—There is still
considerable doubt as to the successor
of Col. William R. Morrison as Inter-
State Commerce Commissioner. Sena-
to'i Quay, who: saw the President
Wednesday in behalf of Judge Pax—
son, is inclined to the opinion that the
President has made up his mind to se-
lect him for the place. The friends‘of
Mi. Littler, of Illinois, howevei, are
still very active, and are workiiig to
get the President to delay the nomina-
tion. . .
Judge Paxson isl'e'garded as a. very
strong candidate, and he is , loyally
backed by the entire Pennsylvania dele—
gation in Con-greSS, who regard him asi-
ln every way fitted for the responsible
post. In addition to this influence, it is
said that the Judge'is- an old personal
friend of President McKinley.
The Illinois Senators believe that the
nomination should go to a. Western
man, as the present commissioner
comes from that sectiOn, which is being
used as a. strong argument for Littler.
['t is said the two Senators are trying
to form a. combination of the Western
Senators to secure the appointment of
a. man from that section.
. There is some talk of opposition to
zonfirmation in case Paxson secures the
nomination, and if opposition develops-
lt will probably be made solely upon
the ground at the nominee comes
Erom a wron section of the country,
and that the interests of the commis-
sion require °that the commissioner
should come from the West.
Bryan Will Not Run.
Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 6.—Wllliam Jen-
nings Bryan, who has just retuined
from Mexico. says the report that he
is to run £01 Congress from this dis-
tiict is unfounded.
“I don t think I am 1eady to entei
politics again,” is the 11 ay he puts it.
Mr. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan are pro-
fuse in their expressions of apprecia-
tion for the manner in which they were
received in Mexico, and of gratitude
for the courtesies shown them. Mr.
Bryan will remain in Lincoln until Jan.
3, on which date he’ will be the guest
of the. Jacksonian Club, of Chicago, at
its annual banquet.
Plan to Oppose Quay.
Philadelphia. , Jan. 6.——The Re-
publican Business Men‘s League yes-
terday'adopted resolutions calling for a
meeting of Republicans to organize a
movement against the reaelection of
Senator Quay to the United States
Senate, and to oppose any selection of a
candidate for Governor which may be
made by What the league terms the
State machine.
The proposed meeting is to be held
within two weeks, and the _ bian'ch
leagues throughout the State are to be
-invited, in addition to many prominent
Republican-s opposed to Senator Quay.
