" Wealthy East Side Worker 'An- nounces Change of ''Polities. 3. G. Phelpa Stokes, who for everal years has devoted himself to work In the slums of this city. has formally announced that bo wfll cast his lot with the Socialist party. Tho announcement was made Ina letter to tho executive committee of tho Independence League, which was mate pubUo yae- t«nJay. **- Stokss was % candidate for Borough President on the league's ticket at the last ma- aldpal election, which was headed by William R. Hearst for Mayor. Tho letter wltbdrawlmj from membership to tho league sad announcing his intention to offer his services to the Socialist party la dated from Mr. Btokes-s home to tho Bast Side tenement bouse district. In the letter he declares thai, while ha regards capital as necessary at present to too public wel- fare, ha considers It so harmful when used selfishly that Its complete control by tho people collectively la essential. Ho says also that bo Is aware that the majority of those who uphold the present sys- tem do so on the assumption that It Is a fair and a just one. It la his betto?, however, as expressed in tho latter, that tho so-called capitalist system. as such, Is indefensible ethically and disastrous In- dustrially, through the Inescapable wage slavery to which it leads, and that It must bo supplanted by a more righteous system of co-operation and mutual aid. The letter la lull follows: Itla with much appreciation of tho Tain* c* the worklhat the Independence League to doing, and atop of the privilege which has been mine ci par- ticipating la that work, that I writ* at this early date to apprise you that I shall be unable to co- °lrale, with you in next autumn's campaign, t-i believe that the movement which you have inaugurated throughout our state to secure inde- pendence of citizens from the rule of monopolies, posses and political machines Is an important step toward true Democracy, and that the Independence League la rendering public service of great Impor- tance In arousing widely a mere potent spirit of Intolerance of fraud, dishonesty ana subversion of the Interests of the people.

I have learned but gradually the Injustice of the situation which confronts the average worker. Honest and earnest men and women by hundreds of thousands suffer privation and want, although surrounded by prosperity and plenty, and owe their sufferings chiefly to the monopolisation of the land and of the machinery of production by the few ex- clusively for the purpose of private gain; access to the land and machinery being denied, unless the workers •will produce enough not merely for their own support, but for the maintenance of the Idle and luxurious as well. This Is to my mind a great Injustice, and one that demands early remedy.- Personally I can no longer refrain from making every endeavor to arouse recognition of it. Incidentally, I have observed that under our pres- ent industrial system pauperism prevails as widely among the rich as among the poor— pauper being one who. through disability or disinclination for self-support by useful service. Is supported at th* expense of the people. I would not have it thought that I disapprove of capital. On the contrary, I regard capital as neces- sary at present to the public welfare, but as so harmful, when used selfishly, that its complete con- trol by the people, collectively, is essential I know how difficult it Is to arouse recognition of the practicability of such collective ownership, among persons who derive benefits from the present system, and especially among such as labor ex- clusively for personal profit, or who spend in Idle- ness the products of others' toll.

Actor's Wife Offers Reward for Information of Automobile Which Killed Pet. [By T*l*graph to The Tribune] New London, Conn.. July 12.— Mrs. Richard Mansfield, wife of the well known actor, whose Rummer home, the Grange, is situated In the Perjuot colony, is mourning the loss of a pet fox terrier, which viaa crushed to death by an auto- mobile this morning. Mrs. Mansfield does not know who owns the automobile, but Is deter- mined to bring the guilty party to justice, as is evidenced by the following advertisement In- serted in a local paper this afternoon: Wanted— lnformation leading to the complete identification of the large black automobile which, while exceeding tho apsed Mmit, ran over and killed a fox terrier in front of No. 802 Ocean avenue, a reward will be paid by Mrs. Mans- field, owner of the fox terrier.

Three Hundred Fresh Air Children Leave Heated City. . .• , Over three hundred poor children were made happy yesterday by the Tribune Fresh Ah* Fund, which sent away three big parties in the coarse of the day. The first one to go left Grand Central Station at 9 o'clock yesterday morning for St. I Helen's Home. laterlaken. Mass.. where they go as the guests of John E. Parsons. Fifty more willgo I this morning to complete th« party of one hundred which St Helen's Home accommodates. This is the second party that Mr. Parsons has had at the home this year. The first party returned yester- day afternoon full of tales of the good times that they had in the country. The party that has bean at Kromm's Farm, Sbokan. for two weeks was also replaced yesterday by another party of one hundred. The third party consisted of 163 children, sad were sent to Ashford Hill,at Ardsley. N. T. When the Interlaken beys and girls, most of whom had been to St. Helen's Home last year, were leaving Grand Central Station, they made the air ring with a cheer. It went like this.

Two sisters, both under ten, are part of a family of four, two boys and two girls, the father of whom Is afflicted with tuberculosis. The mother supports the family by doing washing, and the little girls are kept busy getting and de- livering clothes. While the girlsare away the boys will do this work, and they will be sent to the country later. Those who look for sublime Ignorance in all chil- dren that are sent out by the Tribune Fresh Air Fund are likely to be disappointed. Yesterday, for Instance, one well dressed woman, glowing with good nature and self-possession, stepped up to a ten-year-old hoy. and. leaning down to him. asked kindly: "Little one, did you ever go to the country be- fore?" "Aw. g'wan! What yer glvln' us?' was the reply. Don't we go every year through the Tribune Fresh Air Fund?" Many are the amusing Incidents told by tho at- tendants of the parties that are returning now. The following has been put down as one of the best cases of bluffing on record: The train taken by those going to St. Helen's Home was well out- side of the city, and almost every child had his face to the window, taking in the surrounding country with appropriate remarks. "Oh, look at the cow!" one would cry. "Chick* ens! Chickens!" would shout another. "I see a pony." "Teacher, what's that?" One little seven-year-old, however, sat calmly back in his seat and surveyed the landscape with supreme Indifference, part of the time even shut- ting his eyes. The attendant knew that the boy had never been above 14th street before, so, think- ing that he might feel ill. she went to him. "What's the matter? Aren't you enjoying the rider* she asked. Tea" "You don't seem to like It as well as the other children." "Oh. its all very well if you are like those kids and haven't been around the country much. From the way they are acting, you'd think that they never saw even a cow before."

Some one suggested. "There Is a fountain filled with blood." "Ob. what do you think this is?" piped up one little boy. "This ain't no massacre." Laics in State of Chaos Biz Trouble Brewing. (From an Occasional Correspondent of Th* Triton*.) Havana, July 6— For the first time since the establishment of the republic, the Cuban Congress has closed its session several months before the da,te set for opening the following one. Hereto- fore, no more than ten or twelve days have Inter- vened between one session and another. The country, however, has derived no benefit from the apparently close devotion of Congress to business, as is shown by the fact that some of the most important laws have not yet been enacted, and the administration has been and is still carried on through temporary arrange- ments adopted when the government of Inter- vention withdrew from the Island. Such Is the ease In regard to the courts, the executive departments, the municipalities and other minor matters. The Cuban Constitution, following that of the United States, creates an Independent judiciary; but. no law having been passed providing for the organisation of the courts, the executive has been attending to it at Its o*sn discretion, with this very natural as well as very serious result, namely, that the Judiciary has become a mere appendix to the executive, and has actually lost its Indepen- dence. It Is a matter of very frequent occurrence for judges of the Inferior courts, and even of the higher ones, not excluding the justices of the Supreme Court, to call at the palace to Inform the President about the progress made In cases in which he is politically interested, and to hear such recommendations as he may wish to make. The majority of Cubans do not seem to attach much importance to this objectionable procedure. Under the Spanish regime thay were accustomed to look upon the Judiciary as occupying a posi- tion subordinate to that of the executive, and they have not yet been able to acquire a clear notion of what judicial Independence is. As a rule, the judges feel that itis their duty to grat- ify the wishes of the President and his secreta- ries, and. so unconscious are they of the Impro- priety of thus acting, that at the time of the assassination of Congressman Villuendaa, at Cienfuegos, last September, the judge in charge of the case openly telegraphed to the Secretary of the Interior asking for Instructions as to how he should proceed in the matter. Congressman Villuendas was a devoted ad- herent of the Presidential candidate opposed by Seftor Estrada Palma. The Judge thought that he was bound to conduct the case in such a manner as would be most beneficial to the po- litical Interests of the candidate— Seflor Estrada Palma— whom h6 looked upon as hie chief, and. not knowing how he could best attain that end, desired to be Instructed. The dispatch was pub- lished in the newspapers, it was briefly com- mented upon, and no further notice was taken of it. As already stated, there is no law regulating the functions of the six secretaries composing the Cabinet, and they proceed about their busi- ness as they see fit or as they are directed by the President. They entertain very high notions about their independence, and on sundry occa- sions have refused to furnish Congress with data in reference to matters attended to by their de- partments. No municipal election has been held since the republic was established. The mayors and mu- nicipal councils elected under the gorernment of intervention are yet in existence. Neither mayors nor councils represent the people. They are mere creatures of the central government. The local elections have been delayed on the pretext that no municipal law has been passed, but it is generally believed that legislation has been held back, both In this case and Inthat of the judiciary, to enable the executive to control the courts and the municipalities. If such was the object, it has been fully attained. During the session just closed Congress has distributed the public moneys with a free hand, and the surplus which had accumulated In the Treasury has been whollydisposed of, while the estimated surplus for the present fiscal year will scarcely suffice to meet the appropriations which have been voted against It. The ordinary ex- penditures of the republic, as shown by the budget approved by Congress, will amount to about twenty-six million dollars; but adding to them the extraordinary appropriations, that is, those not included in the budget, itIs estimated that the total expenditures during the present fiscal year will not be under forty million dol- lars. It is feared that before long the republic will have to face a deficit, as both the Congress and the administration seem to be impelled by an irresistible desire to expend money. Sugar cane grinding has ceased throughout the island for the season. In quantity the crop Is about equal to that of last year, that Is, about one million one hundred tons; but there will be a very great difference in the cash result. Last year the planters made some money; this year the great majority of them will not even cover expenses. This means that they will be unable to repay the advances made to them by bankers and merchants, that they will be compelled to pay a very high rats of Interest to obtain an ex- tension of tlma and that they will experience great difficulty in getting financial accommoda- tion to meet the expenses of cultivating their cane fields and of making preparations for the next crop> Such accommodation as they may obtain will cost them very dear, as their estates, with few exceptions, are more or less encumbered and the supply of capital to lend is rather limited. Only a small number of the largest sugar cen- trals, mostly owned by Americans, have made a little money by the superior facilities at their command and the Improved methods of admin- istration. In the general management of the estates owned by Cubans there Is yet too much of the old and wasteful rout.'ae which unneces- sarily enhances the cost, of production. Owing to the disastrous results of the sugar crop and to the emallnesa of that of tobacco the two principal crops of the Island the gen- eral economical and commercial condition of the country Is not satisfactory. No talk of pros- perity Is now hoard. Debt collection Is slow; the distributive movement of merchandise Is falling, off and many hands are idle. Several thousands of agricultural laborers wander about the country In search of work, and although willing to accept any wages they find no employ- ment, the planters having no money. There is visible discontent and unrest In two or three of the provinces. The next six or seven months will be a trying period for Cuba. MRS. MANSFIELD TO AVENGE HOG THE TRIBUTE FRESH AIE IIRTD. [The Tribune Fresh Air Fund was the first move- ment of the kind in the country. Every other one, here or elsewhere, has been started In Imitation of this pioneer. The Tribune cordially welcVnes all co-laborers In the field, but. without wishing to depreciate In the least the work of others, thinks it its duty to remind readers that the Tribune Freah Air Fund Is. so far as known, the only one In which absolutely evory dollar contributed by the publlo goes directly to the work of sending a poor child to the country, keeping It there for two weeks and bringing it back again. No collectors are ever employed and all collections made for the fund are purely voluntary. All expenses for the organiza- tion, agents and general machinery of the charity are privately defrayed by The Tribune itself and fry the trustees of the fund. There are no per- centages to collectors to come out of the contribu- tions of the publlo, and no payments to agents, managers, secretary or others. Every dollar goes straight to the benefit of a child.] ACKNOWLEDGMENT*!.

Appellate Division Decides Against Metcalfe, the Dramatic Critic. James S. Metcalfe, the dramatic critic of "Life," lost a point in hla fight against the so-called The- atrical Trust yesterday, when the Appellate Di- vision dismissed Ms complaint against Charles Burnham, a member of the Theatrical Managers' Association. Justice Houghton wrote the opinion in the case. Justices McLaughlln, Laughlln and O'Brien concurring and Justice Patterson dissent- ing. The opinion held that a manager has a, right to decide who shall be allowed to enter a theatre, which is held to be a place of private, and not of public, entertainment. Hence the agreement to ex- clude Mr. Metcalfe from certain theatres is held not to he unlawful. Mr. Metcalfe g#t into disfavor with the members of the Theatrical Managers' Association on ac- count of his alleged discrimination against He- brews in the dramatic colifmns of '"Life." As a result he was denied admittance to all the theatres controlled by the syndicate, though the houses con- trolled hy Harrison Gray Piske. the Shuberts. Da- vid Belasco and other Independents remained open to him. Criminal action was taken against Mr. Burnhara as a test case. Mr. Metcalfe's contention being that the agreement to exclude him constituted a con- spiracy to deprive him of his means of livelihood. Mr. Burnham was arrested and released on a writ of habeas corpus, afterward dismissed in the Supreme Court. This dismissal was ordered re- versed by yesterday's decision, Mr. Burnham be- ing freed from custody BELASCO NOT TO DIRECT HIPPODROME. Lee Shubert denied emphatically last night that David Belasco is to bo supervising director of the Hippodrome, on which the Shubert Brothers re- cently obtained a lease. It was freely asserted in the theatrical district last night that one of the re- quirements under which the Shuberts obtained the lease on the Hippodrome was that Mr. Belasco he a supervising director. Mr. Shubert denied this, and said Mr. Belasco would have no part in the man- agement of the Hippodrome. OBITUARY. Rep, -', Actor and Manager Have Disagreed. William A. Brady, the theatrical manager, and Wilton Lackaye, the actor, who signed a partner- ship contract in UO3, to run for ten years, it was learned la*t night, have disagreed. Mr. Lackaye says that by the terms of the contract he was to be allowed to play repertoire. Mr. Brady, however. Insists that Mr. Lackaye devote next season to a production of "The Law and the Man." Lackaye desires to produce Ibsen's "Enemy of the People" and "Othello," in addition to some other play, and insists on his right to do *> under his contract. It was rumored last night that Mr. Lackaye would leave Mr. Brady's management within a few days. Mr. Lackaye, speaking of the disagreement last night, said: Mr. Brady and I had a difference. It's simply a Question whether I can do better by producing: three plays in one year than by producing one play in three years. I believe the former and Mr. Brady the latter. However, I have a contract and I pro- pose that it shall be lived up to. I want to produce Othello and Mr. Brady does not want me to enter the Shakespearian field because he has Mr. Mantell engaged in repertoire. Mr. Brady said: Mr. Mantell may do as he pleases. Ifhe does repertoire, however, It will be under another man- agement. THEATRE TRUST WIXS. h'h:c A Erlanger Will Try Chit Plays \u25a0 in Philadelphia ' Theatre. m!S. W J^ Erlanser >**• arranged with Nixon St SSTs^! 11 ' of Philadelphia, to fIU th entire tlraa e\tv S ! >n at the Ch-tnut Street Theatre, in that «V. t^ iwUnir wUb New rca^e. This contract 13 the first step in carrying out one of the most important projects of the coming theatrical sea- son, it Is the intention of Klaw & Brlanger to rganlae for this bouse one of the strong stock companies ever brought together in this country. From January 1 to June 1 they will make at this house ten new productions of original plays, every one of which will be presented by this stock com- pany. Each piece will run two weeks. The first six ays have already been selected, and include "The Hound-Up." by Edmund Day; "A Marriage of Reason." by Hartley Manners; "Goggle* and Gaso- lene, adapted from the German; "The Energetic ?r;? r ;^ S St, tf ' by Bdgar Behryn: a new farce by John J. McNally. and "Peaches," by George V. Hobart. After these plays have had their run four orig- inal musical comedies and operas will be presented in succession, the titles of which will be announced later. This is one of the most original plans conceived for the advancement of the interests of American authors, as it willgive them an opportunity to learn the exact merits of their pieces without an ex- pensive production. Under the plan which has pre- vailed heretofore the producer has put on a play at great expense, with no possibility of any return from it should it prove a failure. Under the new plan of conducting the Chestnut Street Theatre, a piece will have Just the same production as It would have IfIt were specially done with the view of a long run. without the "risk that would otherwise attach to it and without the inconvenience to the booking department of having to hold a route which the merit of the piece, when placed upon the stage, might not warrant being filled. Another marked advantage of this project is that it will be a school for the members of the com- pany^ giving them an opportunity to gain that wide experience in playing various role* which has .undoubtedly proved the foundation of the success of many of the greatest players on the American stage. Under the old stock system actors played many parts, and developed a versatility which is not to be found in those who have taken up the stage as a profession ln recent years. This project will also be a great help to the composer and librettist, giving them the same opportunity to de- termine the value of their work as that which the dramatic author will receive.

But tin" it is well known that these, constitute only a Ljgjl fraction cf the contents of the treasury. It cost not be forgotten that with, the exception \u25a0f 1/mden Constantinople is the only European ctpjtil which, during a period of nearly five hun- a^A Tt-irs. has never been occupied and looted by a foreign army.

Wealthy East Side Worker 'An-nounces Change of ''Polities.

3. G. Phelpa Stokes, who for everal years hasdevoted himself to work In the slums of this city.has formally announced that bo wfll cast his lotwith the Socialist party. Tho announcement wasmade Ina letter to tho executive committee of thoIndependence League, which was mate pubUo yae-t«nJay. **-Stokss was % candidate for BoroughPresident on the league's ticket at the last ma-aldpal election, which was headed by William R.Hearst for Mayor.

Tho letter wltbdrawlmj from membership to tholeague sad announcing his intention to offer hisservices to the Socialist party la dated from Mr.Btokes-s home to tho Bast Side tenement bousedistrict.In the letter he declares thai, while ha regards

capital as necessary at present to too public wel-fare, ha considers Itso harmful when used selfishlythat Its complete control by tho people collectivelyla essential. Ho says also that bo Is aware thatthe majority of those who uphold the present sys-tem do so on the assumption that ItIs a fair and ajust one. It la his betto?, however, as expressedin tho latter, that tho so-called capitalist system.as such, Is indefensible ethically and disastrous In-dustrially, through the Inescapable wage slaveryto which it leads, and that Itmust bo supplantedby a more righteous system of co-operation andmutual aid.

The letter la lull follows:Itla withmuch appreciation of tho Tain* c* theworklhat the Independence League to doing, andatop of the privilege which has been mine ci par-

ticipating la that work, that Iwrit*at this earlydate to apprise you that Ishall be unable to co-°lrale, with you in nextautumn's campaign,t-i believe that the movement which you haveinaugurated throughout our state to secure inde-pendence of citizens from the rule of monopolies,posses and political machines Is an important steptoward true Democracy, and that the IndependenceLeague la rendering public service of great Impor-tance In arousing widely a mere potent spirit ofIntolerance of fraud, dishonesty ana subversion ofthe Interests of the people.Ifeel however, that the thne has coma when I.

°7BSnIhave been tone is perceiving clearly that thereare two chief economic classes in America, as else-where—those whose poverty compels them to pro-duce more than they require for their own mainten-ance, and those whose wealth enables them to con-

trol and consume more than they produceand more than they render proportionate ser-vice In exchange for: that the reward of theformer class is Invariably less than the valueof its product, whereas the reward or In-come of the latter class is greatly In excess ofthe value of Its product, and bears no proportionaterelation to the value of the service Its renders.Ihave learned but gradually the Injustice of thesituation which confronts the average worker.Honest and earnest men and women by hundredsof thousands suffer privation and want, althoughsurrounded by prosperity and plenty, and owe theirsufferings chiefly to the monopolisation of the landand of the machinery of production by the few ex-clusively for the purpose of private gain; access tothe land and machinery being denied, unless theworkers •will produce enough not merely for theirown support, but for the maintenance of the Idleand luxurious as well. This Is to my mind a greatInjustice, and one that demands early remedy.-Personally Ican no longer refrain from makingevery endeavor to arouse recognition of it.

Incidentally,Ihave observed that under our pres-ent industrial system pauperism prevails as widelyamong the rich as among the poor— pauper beingone who. through disability or disinclination forself-support by useful service. Is supported at th*expense of the people.Iwould not have it thought that Idisapprove ofcapital. On the contrary, Iregard capital as neces-sary at present to the public welfare, but as soharmful, when used selfishly, that its complete con-

trol by the people, collectively, is essentialIknow how difficult it Is to arouse recognition ofthe practicability of such collective ownership,among persons who derive benefits from the present

system, and especially among such as labor ex-clusively for personal profit, or who spend in Idle-ness the products of others' toll.

Three Hundred Fresh Air Children

Leave Heated City. . .• ,

Over three hundred poor children were madehappy yesterday by the Tribune Fresh Ah* Fund,which sent away three bigparties in the coarse ofthe day. The first one to go left Grand CentralStation at 9 o'clock yesterday morning for St.

IHelen's Home. laterlaken. Mass.. where they go asthe guests of John E.Parsons. Fiftymore willgo

I this morning to complete th« party ofone hundredwhich St Helen's Home accommodates. This isthe second party that Mr.Parsons has had at thehome this year. The first party returned yester-day afternoon full of tales of the good times thatthey had in the country.

The party that has bean at Kromm's Farm,Sbokan. for two weeks was also replaced yesterdayby another party of one hundred. The third partyconsisted of 163 children, sad were sent to AshfordHill,at Ardsley. N. T.

When the Interlaken beys and girls, most ofwhom had been to St. Helen's Home last year,were leaving Grand Central Station, they made theair ring witha cheer. Itwent like this.

only seal rest they have bad since they visited theplace a year ago. Two sisters, both under ten, arepart of a family of four, two boys and two girls,the father of whom Is afflicted with tuberculosis.The mother supports the family by doing washing,and the little girls are kept busy getting and de-liveringclothes. While the girlsare away the boyswill do this work, and they will be sent to thecountry later.

Those who look for sublime Ignorance in all chil-dren that are sent out by the Tribune Fresh AirFund are likely to be disappointed. Yesterday, forInstance, one well dressed woman, glowing withgood nature and self-possession, stepped up to aten-year-old hoy. and. leaning down to him. askedkindly:

"Little one, did you ever go to the country be-fore?""Aw. g'wan! What yer glvln' us?' was the reply.

Don't we go every year through the TribuneFresh Air Fund?"Many are the amusing Incidents told by tho at-tendants of the parties that are returning now.The following has been put down as one of thebest cases of bluffing on record: The train takenby those going to St. Helen's Home was well out-side of the city, and almost every child had hisface to the window, taking in the surroundingcountry with appropriate remarks.

"Oh, look at the cow!" one would cry. "Chick*ens! Chickens!" would shout another. "Isee apony." "Teacher, what's that?"

One little seven-year-old, however, sat calmlyback in his seat and surveyed the landscape withsupreme Indifference, part of the time even shut-ting his eyes. The attendant knew that the boyhad never been above 14th street before, so, think-ing that he might feel ill. she went to him.

"What's the matter? Aren't you enjoying therider* she asked.

Tea""You don't seem to like It as well as the other

children.""Oh. its all very well ifyou are like those kids

and haven't been around the country much. Fromthe way they are acting, you'd think that theynever saw even a cow before."

From the Ashford HillHome comes the follow-It Is the custom there on Sunday nights to spend

the time singing hymns and other songs. LastSunday the leader asked what they should singnext.

Some one suggested. "There Is a fountain filledwith blood."

"Ob. what do you think this is?" piped up onelittle boy. "This ain't no massacre."

Laics in State of Chaos—

BizTrouble Brewing.

(From an Occasional Correspondent of Th* Triton*.)Havana, July 6—For the first time since the

establishment ofthe republic, the Cuban Congresshas closed its session several months before theda,te set for opening the following one. Hereto-fore, no more than ten or twelve days have Inter-vened between one session and another. Thecountry, however, has derived no benefit fromthe apparently close devotion of Congress tobusiness, as is shown by the fact that someof the most important laws have not yet beenenacted, and the administration has been andis still carried on through temporary arrange-ments adopted when the government of Inter-vention withdrew from the Island.

Such Is the ease In regard to the courts, theexecutive departments, the municipalities andother minor matters. The Cuban Constitution,

following that of the United States, creates anIndependent judiciary; but. no law having beenpassed providing for the organisation of thecourts, the executive has been attending to itatIts o*sn discretion, with this very natural aswell as very serious result, namely, that theJudiciary has become a mere appendix to theexecutive, and has actually lost its Indepen-dence.ItIs a matter of very frequent occurrence for

judges of the Inferior courts, and even of thehigher ones, not excluding the justices of theSupreme Court, to call at the palace to Informthe President about the progress made In casesin which he is politically interested, and to hearsuch recommendations as he may wish to make.

The majority of Cubans do not seem to attachmuch importance to this objectionable procedure.Under the Spanish regime thay were accustomedto look upon the Judiciary as occupying a posi-tion subordinate to that of the executive, andthey have not yet been able to acquire a clearnotion of what judicial Independence is. As arule, the judges feel that itis their duty to grat-ify the wishes of the President and his secreta-ries, and. so unconscious are they of the Impro-priety of thus acting, that at the time of theassassination of Congressman Villuendaa, atCienfuegos, last September, the judge incharge

of the case openly telegraphed to the Secretary

of the Interior asking for Instructions as to howhe should proceed in the matter.

Congressman Villuendas was a devoted ad-herent of the Presidential candidate opposed by

Seftor Estrada Palma. The Judge thought thathe was bound to conduct the case in such amanner as would be most beneficial to the po-litical Interests of the candidate— Seflor EstradaPalma— whom h6 looked upon as hie chief, and.not knowing how he could best attain that end,

desired to be Instructed. The dispatch was pub-

lished in the newspapers, it was briefly com-mented upon, and no further notice was takenof it.

As already stated, there is no law regulating

the functions of the six secretaries composing

the Cabinet, and they proceed about their busi-ness as they see fit or as they are directed by

the President. They entertain very high notionsabout their independence, and on sundry occa-sions have refused to furnish Congress with datain reference to matters attended to by their de-partments.

No municipal election has been held since therepublic was established. The mayors and mu-

nicipal councils elected under the gorernmentof intervention are yet in existence. Neithermayors nor councils represent the people. Theyare mere creatures of the central government.

The local elections have been delayed on thepretext that no municipal law has been passed,

but it is generally believed that legislation hasbeen held back, both In this case and Inthat ofthe judiciary, to enable the executive to controlthe courts and the municipalities. Ifsuch wasthe object, ithas been fullyattained.

During the session just closed Congress hasdistributed the public moneys witha free hand,

and the surplus which had accumulated In theTreasury has been whollydisposed of, while theestimated surplus for the present fiscal year willscarcely suffice to meet the appropriations whichhave been voted against It. The ordinary ex-penditures of the republic, as shown by thebudget approved by Congress, will amount toabout twenty-six million dollars; but adding tothem the extraordinary appropriations, that is,

those not included in the budget, itIs estimatedthat the total expenditures during the present

fiscal year will not be under forty million dol-lars. It is feared that before long the republic

willhave to face a deficit, as both the Congress

and the administration seem to be impelled byan irresistible desire to expend money.

Sugar cane grinding has ceased throughoutthe island for the season. Inquantity the cropIs about equal to that of last year, that Is, aboutone million one hundred tons; but there willbea very great difference in the cash result. Lastyear the planters made some money; this year

the great majority of them willnot even coverexpenses. This means that they willbe unableto repay the advances made to them by bankersand merchants, that they will be compelled topay a veryhigh rats of Interest to obtain an ex-tension of tlma and that they will experiencegreat difficulty in getting financial accommoda-tion to meet the expenses of cultivating theircane fields and of making preparations for thenext crop>

Such accommodation as they may obtain willcost them very dear, as their estates, with fewexceptions, are more or less encumbered andthe supply of capital to lend is rather limited.Only a small number of the largest sugar cen-trals, mostly owned by Americans, have madea little money by the superior facilities at theircommand and the Improved methods of admin-istration. In the general management of the

estates owned by Cubans there Is yet too muchof the old and wasteful rout.'ae which unneces-sarily enhances the cost, of production.

Owing to the disastrous results of the sugar

crop and to the emallnesa of that of tobacco—

the two principal crops of the Island—

the gen-eral economical and commercial condition of thecountry Is not satisfactory. No talk of pros-perity Is now hoard. Debt collection Is slow;the distributive movement of merchandise Isfalling, off and many hands are idle. Severalthousands of agricultural laborers wander aboutthe country In search of work, and althoughwillingto accept any wages they findno employ-ment, the planters having no money. There isvisible discontent and unrest In two or three ofthe provinces. The next six or seven monthswill be a trying period for Cuba.

No collectors are everemployed and all collections made for the fund arepurely voluntary. All expenses for the organiza-tion, agents and general machinery of the charityare privately defrayed by The Tribune itself andfry the trustees of the fund. There are no per-centages to collectors to come out of the contribu-tions of the publlo, and no payments to agents,managers, secretary or others. Every dollar goesstraight to the benefit of a child.]

Appellate Division Decides AgainstMetcalfe, the Dramatic Critic.

James S. Metcalfe, the dramatic critic of "Life,"lost a point in hla fight against the so-called The-atrical Trust yesterday, when the Appellate Di-vision dismissed Ms complaint against CharlesBurnham, a member of the Theatrical Managers'Association. Justice Houghton wrote the opinionin the case. Justices McLaughlln, Laughlln andO'Brien concurring and Justice Patterson dissent-ing.

The opinion held that a manager has a, right todecide who shall be allowed to enter a theatre,which is held to be a place of private, and not ofpublic, entertainment. Hence the agreement to ex-clude Mr. Metcalfe from certain theatres is heldnot to he unlawful.

Mr.Metcalfe g#t into disfavor with the membersof the Theatrical Managers' Association on ac-count of his alleged discrimination against He-brews in the dramatic colifmns of '"Life." As aresult he was denied admittance to all the theatrescontrolled by the syndicate, though the houses con-trolled hy Harrison Gray Piske. the Shuberts. Da-vid Belasco and other Independents remained opento him.

Criminal action was taken against Mr. Burnharaas a test case. Mr.Metcalfe's contention being thatthe agreement to exclude him constituted a con-spiracy to deprive him of his means of livelihood.Mr. Burnham was arrested and released on a

writ of habeas corpus, afterward dismissed in theSupreme Court. This dismissal was ordered re-versed by yesterday's decision, Mr. Burnham be-ing freed from custody

BELASCO NOT TO DIRECT HIPPODROME.

Lee Shubert denied emphatically last night thatDavid Belasco is to bo supervising director of theHippodrome, on which the Shubert Brothers re-cently obtained a lease. It was freely asserted inthe theatrical district last night that one of the re-quirements under which the Shuberts obtained thelease on the Hippodrome was that Mr.Belasco he asupervising director. Mr. Shubert denied this, andsaid Mr. Belasco would have no part in the man-agement of the Hippodrome.

OBITUARY.

Rep, -', Actor and Manager HaveDisagreed.

William A. Brady, the theatrical manager, andWilton Lackaye, the actor, who signed a partner-ship contract in UO3, to run for ten years, it waslearned la*t night, have disagreed. Mr. Lackayesays that by the terms of the contract he was to beallowed to play repertoire. Mr. Brady, however.Insists that Mr. Lackaye devote next season to aproduction of "The Law and the Man." Lackayedesires to produce Ibsen's "Enemy of the People"and "Othello," in addition to some other play, andinsists on his right to do *>under his contract. Itwas rumored last night that Mr. Lackaye wouldleave Mr.Brady's management within a few days.

Mr. Lackaye, speaking of the disagreement lastnight, said:

Mr. Brady and Ihad a difference. It's simply aQuestion whether Ican do better by producing:three plays in one year than by producing one playin three years. Ibelieve the former and Mr.Bradythe latter. However,Ihave a contract and Ipro-pose that it shall be lived up to. Iwant to produceOthello and Mr. Brady does not want me to enterthe Shakespearian field because he has Mr.Mantellengaged in repertoire.

Mr.Brady said:Mr. Mantell may do as he pleases. Ifhe does

repertoire, however, It will be under another man-agement.

THEATRE TRUST WIXS.

h'h:c A Erlanger WillTry Chit Plays\u25a0 in Philadelphia '

Theatre.m!S.WJ^ Erlanser >**• arranged with Nixon St

SSTs^! 11'of Philadelphia, to fIU th entire tlraae\tv S!>n at the Ch-tnut Street Theatre, in that«V. t iwUnir wUb New rca^e. This contract13 the first step in carrying out one of the mostimportant projects of the coming theatrical sea-son, it Is the intention of Klaw & Brlanger torganlae for this bouse one of the strong stockcompanies ever brought together in this country.From January 1to June 1 they willmake at thishouse ten new productions of original plays, everyone of which willbe presented by this stock com-pany. Each piece willrun two weeks. The first sixays have already been selected, and include "TheHound-Up." by Edmund Day; "A Marriage ofReason." by Hartley Manners; "Goggle* and Gaso-lene, adapted from the German; "The Energetic?r;?r;^S

St,tf'

by Bdgar Behryn: a new farce by JohnJ. McNally. and "Peaches," by George V. Hobart.After these plays have had their run four orig-inal musical comedies and operas will be presentedin succession, the titles of which willbe announcedlater.

This is one of the most original plans conceivedfor the advancement of the interests of Americanauthors, as itwillgive them anopportunity to learnthe exact merits of their pieces without an ex-pensive production. Under the plan which has pre-vailed heretofore the producer has put on a playat great expense, with no possibility of any returnfrom itshould itprove a failure. Under the new planof conducting the Chestnut Street Theatre, a piecewillhave Just the same production as Itwould haveIfIt were specially done with the view of a longrun. without the "risk that would otherwise attachto itand without the inconvenience to the bookingdepartment of having to hold a route which themerit of the piece, when placed upon the stage,might not warrant being filled.

Another marked advantage of this project is thatit will be a school for the members of the com-pany^ giving them an opportunity to gain thatwide experience in playing various role* which has.undoubtedly proved the foundation of the successof many of the greatest players on the Americanstage. Under the old stock system actors playedmany parts, and developed a versatility which isnot to be found in those who have taken up thestage as a profession ln recent years. This projectwill also be a great help to the composer andlibrettist, giving them the same opportunity to de-termine the value of their work as that which thedramatic author will receive.
