I At the reopening of Wnllack'a Theatre, lot
II night, Herbert Kelcey and Kflle Sbnnnan ap-
1 reared at tbr bend of their own company, and a
II newplav entitled "A Coat of Many Colors," by
H Madeleine I.ucotto ltyley, whs performed. Tho
I part sssumed by Mr. Kelcey was thnt of a man
H it ho rhinged from a bnter of women to
H a lorer of ono of them. At first ho was
H a determined bachelor, so averse In the other
H m til' hit friends likened him to tho Ulbllcal

H i girl asaillont. fehew as a winsome creature, na
H wrimnb) the nuthur and Interpreted by Miss
H Shannon, Professional Intercourse led to sent!-
H mental attachment, and at the closo of the play
H they were betrothed. Tho actions of the piece
HI carried along a caso concerning a marriage
H which noteremony had solcmlzoJ. The father
H and mother of the girl wero the turtles to
H lMi Illicit union, but she did not know It,
Bj nor was she aware that tho lawyer stroro to
H protect her Dime by bringing her parents
I together la formal wedlock. Besides serving
I that atmDathetio and laudable purpose the
II lawyer shielded bis soapegraco brother In a cl nu
ll ieitlnn tdilr. Thus Mrs. Ilyley had provided
H for Mr KeUey a role particularly well calcu
li UUi to Interest and please his admirers, while
l to Mini Shannon she had given satisfactory
suiter with which to be agreeable.
H Within Ave minutes after the start of "A
H Coat of Many Co.ori " the end was In plain
BJ ilrht. Mr. Kelcey and Miss Shannon wero
H tasted at once, and It was obvious that they
H would bo married with no great delay or
Hj dlflculty. Thus the audlenco felt no anxl
flj sty, and tho elements of suspense and np
H prehension were laoklng. It did not scorn as
H though Mrs. Ryley had tried to make a dramatic
Hj plsy. At all evonts, she did not avail herself of
HJ inch opportunities aa her scheme offered for
HJ strong situations. The confronting of the
HJ mother and the daughter when neither
HJ was awaro of tho other's Identity was
HJ toads naught of, and the scene of
m their mutual recognition was devoid of
HJ emotional thrill. Moreover, the mlsunder
HJ standings and croon-purposes which made up
the action w ere perfectly clear to vory attentlv o
k auditors only, and were not comprehended
H wholly by tho majority. The eoveral separata
1 stories wore not presented definitely and nono
H of them was sufficiently dominant to create a
central Interest. Theso fanlts wero detrimental.
But there were positive merits. "A Coat of
1 Many Colors" was excellent as a comedy of con
k vtrtatlon. Its wit was sharp and plentiful. It
made 1U personages talk cleverly and In
ketplnz with their characters. There was a
refreshing absence of theatrlo device. The men
B and women were reasonable men and women.
H Tat same spirit of unexaggerated naturalism
was maintained In the performance. Mr.
H Etlcey was an honest gentleman. Miss Shannon
a charming lady, and so was Oeorila
m Busby as the sub-rosa bride, while Ellla
H Wilton recommended the irregular wife to better
oH consideration than she deserved. There was a
B sit of eccentric characters, in which Edmund D.
fmm Lyons excelled as an irascible Scotchman.
H Burr Mcintosh was aniuslnc as a stolid
Englishman. and William J. Lemoyno
Wt was sometimes laughable as a fickle
H old beiu. Tho scenery by Physloa Included
a handsome d oryard and landscrpe. The
fl theatre had been decorated anew in white, pink.
I and gold and was boauttfuL The audlenco was
M predisposed to friendliness, and the applauso for
H Mr. Kelcey, Miss Shannon, and Mrs. Ityloy was
M besxty.
H It loAed for a while as though the audlenco
HJ at the Garrlck Theatre last night was to see In
B Chirle Hoyt's new farce a successor to "A
HJ Trip to Chinatown." The first act of "A
HJ Stranger in New York " has diverting soenea
HJ hi the best Iloyt manner. Harry Conor,
Hj with his Irresistibly amusing personality, fig-
HJ sred humoroualy In several scenes. Henry Gil-
HJ foil had played a superannuated man about
Hi town with some art and real fun. George A.
HJ Beano had been assigned to Just such
HJ a part as he had In A Trip to Chlna-
Hj town," and his perplexed resignation under
H all sorts of snubs waa whimsical enona-h
Hj to promise even more effective achievements
HJ later on In the play. There bad been some sitn-
H atlons characteristic of tho bast Hoyt farces,
HJ and when the curtain fall on the first act there
HJ was eTsry reason to believe that New York
H would be grateful for aa clever a play aa the ona
HJ which Is suggested by the latest Hoyt piece, "A
HI Etrangtr In Sew York" la modelled directly on
IBJ " A Trip to Chinatown." It baa the stranger
MB who unexpectedly becomes the central figure In
projected revelries that he was never expected
M to tnloy, and Harry Conor waa that figure in the
H play last night, just aa he waa before in Mr.
Boyt's earlier and happier effort.
M The drop in the second act waa decisive. Ap-
plaose rarely counts at a first performance here,
B but laughter sometimes dees. There waa no
H such accompaniment to tho second act of tho
play at the Garriek last night. There was
H not even more that very perfunctory ap-
I Disuse. There was much laying of pipes
Hj tor IndderjU which the author frankly aban-
IH doned. hat had promised to be a rarco of
Intrigue developed into a variety show of no
H very high order. In almost every detail, from
M its burlesque grand opera quartet down to lta
(H piping tenor soloist, tho scheme of must tho
name be reneated again I "A Trip to China-
H town" was closely followed. But tho Ingenuity.
tie freshness, and the good musio of the model
were missing. Itichord Stahl cad, indeed,
provided very commonplace numbers through-
HI oat-
So the promise of tho first scenes was not ful-
filled. There were moments of fun, genulnt,
IH crude, unredued fun In the true lloytlan
MB spirit. But these were too far apart, fcfooio-
9B times there waa only the mechanism of the
old humor. In the slighter opportunities
BH tht habitual qualities of the Hoyt actors
BB took on an appalling emphasis. There
was always humor In the work of Mr. Conor,
BB Air. Beane, and Mr. OllfoiU But there waa a
BB trio of men in Lloyd Wilson, Charles Warren,
j and Arthur I'acie whose presence on any metr
BB ropolitan stage was simply Inexplicable. Homo
BB of them have been here In Hoyt pieces
before. Hut thoso happened to be better than
BB A Stranger in Now York." They were un-
H remlttlngly industrious, and. In a rough way,
9H moderately effective. But It waa hard to ex-
SB plain them last night. Most of the women wcra
H active, all of them were dressed In a style quite
H unfamiliar to this city and every one had
UK her own eigbteen-carat accent. Hadle Martlnot
BB the lolltary one among tbem that con-
B tributed refinement and polish to ho scene; and
she was out ot her element. There may be
Hj amusement in the new piece for audiences that
are nut looking for Mr. Hoyt's work at lta best.

Copenhagen, Sept. 13. An American, who
registered aa John Harris, visited tho leading
hotel in this city on Saturday and asked for and
got the best rooms in the house. He then
ordered an excellent dinner, with which he had
several bottles of champagne. The suspicion of
tho proprietor ot tho hotel was raised by the
fact that Harria had no baggage, and after the
dinner he presented his guest with a bill. Har
ris said he had no money, but waa waiting for
hla wife, who had his baggage and money.
The proprietor did not believe this story, and
thinking the man intended to swindle him he
summoned a detective, who asked Harris a num
ber of questions. Harris then said that his
name waa Joseph, not John, aa ha had regis
tered. Tho detective then consulted the police
records, remembering that the American police
had in 1891 notified the Copenhagen authori
ties that a murderer named Harris had fled to
Europe.
The description ot the murderer tallied with
Joseph Harris, and he was taken into custody.
The police are now awaiting a cable despatch
from New York, having informed taa police
there that a man who they suspect la tho one
wanted In America Is In custody here. It la
stated that a large reword la offered for the ar
rest ot the murderer Harria.
Nothing had been heard at Police Headquar
ters laat night about the arrest- So far as la
known, the only Harris wanted by th authori
ties here on a serious charge, and for the arrest
of whom a reward la offered, is Joseph L. Harris.
He waa Indicted by the Grand Jury on July 20,
1893, for arson In the third degree, the apeolllo
charge being that he aet flro to Bled & Co. 'a
fur store, at 14 West Fourteenth street. In 1693.
The stock In the store waa Insured in forty-seven
companies, and Harris, who waa In tho Arm,
nezotlated the settlement with tba companies.
Ha offered to settle for 9140,000. but the ad
Justera declined to ad viae settlement at this
figure. An appraiser was appointed by each
aide, and they submitted the result of their in
vestigation to an umpire, who awarded C101--270.Su
to Slede & Co. The lnsuranoe companies
then began an Investigation, which finally led
to the arrest of Isaae Zucker and many other
grebugs. On June 11. 1888, Harria left hla
omo tn Brooklyn with hla family, giving it
out that he waa going to Bay Shore
to spend the summer. Ho did not come
back. Ha waa indicted by tbe Grand Jury the
following month. Ha waa traced to Toronto
and afterward to Boston, but managed to elude
the authorities. Cardoza and Nathan offered a
reward of 92,500 on behalf of the insnranco
companies for the arrest and conviction of Har
ris. On Dec. 22 last the authorities here re
ceived word that a man supposed to be narrls
bad been arrested at Monmouth, O. Detective
Sergeant McNaught was sent out there, but the
prisoner was not Harris. Since that time he
baa not been heard from.

The auit of Col. Robert O. Smith of tho Fourth

Clara M. Smith, waa before Vice-Chancellor
Pitney In Jersey City yesterday, on an applica
tion for alimony and counsel fee. Lawyer War
ren Dixon, who represents Mrs. Smith, aub
raltted her answer to the bill of complaint. The
defendant denied all of hor husband's allega
tions, and declared that aho would be able to re
fute them at tho trial. Mr. Dixon said that hla
client wua In need of money, and asked that the
alimony be made commensurate with Col.
Smith's income, which is $5,000 a year, ho
being Assistant Superintendent of the Cunard
Steamship Company. Ex-Judge William P.
Douglas, representing the plaintiff, said bn was
under tbe Impression that Col. Smith's salary
was $2,500, and he asked that the alimony be
not fixed at a high figure, as his client was tup-
Sorting his six children, Vice Chancellor Pitney
xed the alimony at $8 a week, and allowed 850

Several weeks ago the waiters In O'Neill's
restaurant, at Twenty-second street and Sixth
avenue, went on strike, All of thorn except
Charles Johnson, the head waiter, who did tint
strike, were discharged. One of the strll crs
was John O'Toole of 313 Third avenue. Ho felt
very angry about his dismissal. Last evening
he and Johnson met at Twenty-third stroot and
Sixth avenue. O'Toole began to abuse Johnson
for what he called bis traitorous action In not
quitting when tho rest did. .....
Johnson tried to get away, but finding it lm-
Eosslble to evade OToolo, endeavored to pacify
lm. O'Toole finally struck Johnson belweon

compound fracture of the skull, Johnson was
taken to the New Yore Hospital. Ho will die.
Detectives Caddell and Welsh of tbe West

Seattle, Wash., Boot, 13. The ateamcr Hum
boldt arrived here today from St. Michael
with fourteen returned miners and $15,
000 In gold dust. She was eleven days
in mnklng tho trip. She brings news
of tho safety of tho Eliza Anderson nt
Dutch Harbor, w hero sho Is ilotnlncd by order
of tho ofllcrr In lommand of the Behrlng Soa
squadron. Tho rcvenuo otllcers boarded her
there, and, seeing her tinseaworthy condition,
ordered her tied up. Several ot her passengers
came down nn the Humboldt, among them W.
11. Price of Danville. III., who gives this story of
his rough experience on the voysgoi
"The entire trip was a series of mishaps.
Nothing serious occurred until we left Dixon's
Entrance, with the Intention of mak
ing a straight cut for Dutch Harbor. The
third day out from Dixon's Entrance
bad weather cams on. The waves would lift
tho guard up and loap lu under It The first
night after the storm began the rudder chain
broke five times. Ot course after this break
there was no controlling tho boat. Every mln-
uto It would roll so that the passengers wero
thrown out o their bunks and It was Impos
sible to stay In them. The crow was lnsufll
cient to man the pumps, so tho passengers
took hold, I myself was placed In charge ot the
pumps. I divided the passengers Into squads of
fonr men, Eaoh squad worked two hours.
We kept this up for forty-eight hours, and
during that time tho boat drifted back 100
miles. The second day ot our troubles tho other
boats of tbe fleet wero sighted
" The next plaoo we reached was St, Paul, on
Kodlak Island. Wo should have taken on cool
enough there to get to Dutch Harbor, but could
not get It. After leaving St. Paul tho sea was
heavy, and wo wero forced to uruiwi along
tho shore We bsd got within 160 miles
of Dutch Harbor when the coal Rave out.
VYe had rigged a small boat to set out for rellof
when we alghted a fishing smack with one man
In It. He told us we could reach an abandoned
cannery about twenty miles distant, where coal
had beon lying fortlveor six years. Wo had just
about coal enough to reach that point. All day
long the passengers were worked In a drizzling
rain to take on more coal. Final), on Sept. 4,
wo reached Dutch Harbor. Capt. Hooper ot the
gorthorn Revenue Squadron boarded us at
utch Harbor, and, seeing the unseaworthy
condition of the Anderson, forbado her to go
further, 7 ho passengers of the Anderson
chartered tho schooner Baranoff at Dutch Har
bor and were carried safoly to St, Michael."
The prospect nt St. Michael now la not In
viting. Starvation Is not threatening, but there
Is a prospest of a cold and cheerless winter to be
spent on the beach, camped in tents and rudo
huts waiting wearily for the spring to
coma tn order that ther may reach
the land of promise. It is a safe
assertion that from now on no river boats will
start from Bt. Michael for Dawson. Tho barges
belonging to Mayor Wood and his company may
reach Dawson this winter from St, Michael and
they may not. They will be the last to attempt
to make the trip. The passongers ot the Hum
boldt have alsopltched thtir tentson the beach
and are making the best of It, hopeful ot reach
ing Dawson this winter. It will require nearly
a month to complete the steamer and barges to
carry them up the Yukon, and all are Indus
triously assisting tn construction of thee
boats. Tbe stories regarding the threatened
lynching of Mayor Wood wore greatly exag
gerated. Tbe Mayor is still at St. Michael and
all are working in harmony. Writing to a
friend here Mayor Woods says:
"Behrlng Sea la as smooth aa Elliott Bay at
Seattle this afternoon, and the sun is shining
brightly. Most people who havo been here say
we can have two or three weeks ot fine Indian
Bummer weather. We shall certainly get either
to Dawson or far enough up the river to satisfy
most of the passengers. Many predict that the
great gold district of the Yukon will be found
on the American side of the Tanana and Copper
Itlver bead waters."
Miners from Dawson who came on the Hum
boldt give the tamo reason for leaving the coun
try as those who cam on the other vessels.
They say they were driven out through fear of
starvation, without tbe poaalbllty of outalda re
lief this winter. The Innux of miners over tho
pass baa frightened the old-timers in the In
terior, and all who command money are coming
out to winter tn the States, and thus avoid what
they bellave will bo a winter of great distress
andauilering.

San FliANCtsco. Sept- 13. Apropos of tho
recent excitement over Peruvian mines, there
la a guest at tho Palaoe Hotel who Is probably
as well Informed about tbo gold properties In
question as any mining man. Arthur L. Pearse,
a mining engineer of London, who Is here In tho
Interest of an English syndicate, has mado
several trips to tbo gold mining dlstriota of Peru
and has spent some tlua In that country.
"Peru la no place for a poor man to visit," he
said to-day. "There aro plenty of rich gold
mines there, aa every one knows, but they can
be worked only by well-organized parties that
have plenty of resources. I believe that Liberia
Is tbe toroing mining country of tho world. The
trans Siberian railway has opened up rich
mining country, and In tho last few years a
large amount, of Belgian. French and English
capital has been Invested in blberian mining
properties with good results.
TUX COAL 3IIXERS' STRIKE.
West VlrsUla Operators Will Wat Agree to the
Celunibus Compromise.
WnEEUNO. W. Vs., Sept, 13. A careful re
riew of the strike situation In the competitive
mining centres ot this State Indicates that tbo
Columbus compromise will not be agreed to by
tbe leading operators. Oov. Fleming's action
tn stating this afternoon that the Monongah
mines would be closed before the union men
would bo allowed in It will be followed hy ut
most everr other coal operator In tbo district.
The New River and Kanawha Valley men
will also roslst tho compromise ugrcemciit,
and the light in this State will bo wagod by
tho miners with renewed vigor.
The West Virginia operators seem to all
think that the light all along has been ono of
the Pennsylvania and Ohio operators tor trade.
They say the strike was adjusted at Columbus,
but without their aid In fact, nono of them
was tailed upon to send delegates. Almost
every West "Virginia operator snems to think
that the strike was eolrly for tho purpose of
J battering West Virginia's hold upon tho mar
;et. W. A. Cainry and several other strike lead
ers were served with United States Injunctions
this afteruoon.'admonlahlng them to be more
careful of their speech about the operators.
At Sunday's meeting some caustic remarks
wero made to tho minors by some of tbe teaderx,
