President Tgleslas, of Costa .Rica, -was entertained at breakfast at the Shore ham yesterday by Frederic Emory, direc tor of the llureau of the American Repub lics. President Yglesias was Invited to meet the members of the executive com mittee of the International Union ol American Republics. The Secretary ol State. Sir. Hay. is the cx-offlclo chairman of the committee, but owing to a previous engagement, was unable to be present. The guests, besides. President Yglesias, were lion. David J. Hill, Assistant Secre tary of State; Mr. Calvo, minister from Costa. Rica; Mr. Jlerou, minister from the Argentine Republic; Mr. Ponte, charge d'affaires of Venezuela; Sir. Renglfo, charge d'affaires of Colombia; Col. AV. R. Carter, U. S. A... President McKInlcy's representative In attendance upon Presi dent Yglesias; Mr. Quesada, secretary to President Yglesias; Dr. Horaclo Guzman, secretary of the Bureau, of the American Republics. At the close of the breakfast Director Emory proposed the health of the Presi dent of Costa Rica. In doing so, he said it! gave 'him special pleasure to express his .sense of obligation, and that of the Uureau of the American Republics, to the government of Costa Rica for the active interest it has always shown in the wel fare of tiie bureau, and particularly for the zealous co-operation of the able and elllcient minister of Costa Rica. Mr. Cal vo. He closed by asking the company to join him in drinking to the prosperity and happiness of the President of Costa Rica and to his country. In responding. President Yglesias said: "I desire to thank very sincerely the dlrectdr' of the burea'u of the American Republics; for tendering me this break fast, an attention that I appreciate most highly, and, at the same time, I wish to say that it hns. afforded me the great est pleasure to meet the members of the executive committee of the International I'nion of American Republics. "This institution Ispf the utmost im portance for the development of the com mercial .relations between our nations of Latin America and the Republic of the United States,, and no country is more aware of this fact than the Republic of Costa Rica. The publications of the Bu reau of the American Republics are read with the greatest Interest by our public men, as iney serve to convey to tliem an exact idea of the advancement and prog ress of the nations of our continent. "As the chief magistrate of Costa Rica. I will always do everything In my power to foster the interests of the Bureau of the American Republics, and I entertain no-doubt that the administration that will follow mine will do as well. "Gentlemen, I propose the health of the director of the Bureau of the Ameri can Republics, Mr. Emory." The director thanked the president for his courtesy. , Mr. Merou, minister of the Argentine Republic, also spoke, agreeing with the president of Costa Rica in his apprecia tion of the work of the Bureau of the Republics, as he considers the institution Is today rendering great service to the Industrial and commercial Interests of this continent. Mr. Merou then proposed a toast to the welfare and happiness of President McKinley. Director Emory expressed the regret of the Secretary of State at his inability to be present, owing to a previous engage ment, and asked the Assistant Secretary to respond to the toast of "The President of the United States." In reply. David Jayne Hill. Assistant Secretary of State, In a graceful speech, said he was sure that If the President cf the United States were present he would express his cordial sympathy in the pur poses ot tnc international union, and his desire for the 'cultivation of closer rela tions among the various republics of, this hemisphere. The Assistant Secretary went on to de scribe the similarity in the political insti tutions of the American Republics as having their origin In the same system of political philosophy, and said the Re publics of North America. Central Amer ica and South America had many pur-, poses in common, and were attracted to each other by the prospect of the devel opment of commercial Intercourse, which, In this case, was bounded not by lines of latitude, but rather by lines of longitude two great oceans separating this hemi sphere from the rest of the world, and thus securing to the three Americas a certain solidarity of interests. He was sure the President of the United States had the promotion of the general tendency toward a closer union between the United States of America and the va rious Latin American Republics very much at heart, and it therefore gave him special pleasure to acknowledge the com pliment so graciously expressed by the minister from the Argentine Republic to the Chief Magistrate ot the United States. Director JEmory said he Had one more toast to propose, and would ask the com pany1 to Join him in drinking to the fu ture prosperity of the international un ion and the continued development of the generous purposes ot its founders, the distinguished members of the. Interna tional American conference, which met in Washington In 1SS9-W. He requested the minister from Costa Rica to say a few words In resonse. .Mr. Calvo, minister from Costa Rica, said that he personally, as Well -as h!s government, had always felt the deepest Interest in the success of the plan out lined by the international American con ference, and was convinced that the pres ent management ot-thc Bureau of the American Republics was earnestly striv ing to give effect to the intentions of the conference." He wished more particularly, although this might not be the most ntting occa sion, to express his appreciation ot the attentions which had been shown to the president of Costa. Rica by President Mc Kinley, and various officials of the Gov ernment of the United States. The cour tesies extended to the president of Costa Rica In Washington were extremely grat ifying, and in acknowledgment of them he desired again to propose the health ot the President o the United Stales. After this toast had been drunk, the company separated. During the early part of the evening President Vglcslas gave an informal din ner to the Costa Ttican minister; Senor Calvo. Only the president, the minister and the members ot the immediate party of the president were present. The Beat Piaster.

Actional "lion. .John firlRHhy." Some time ago so the theater-going public Is informed Sol Smith Russell failed to find the opportunities he desired In a play with which, he..JbRd been, sup plied by Martlia Morton and straightway gave the contract for another ttf Charles' Klein, a dramatic author who has suc cessfully fitted a range of actors be ginning with De Wolf ilopper and ending with Wilton Lackaye. Mr.- Klein went to work immediately ami. ,broko several dozen records In long-distance writing by supplying his prospective' star-with a three-act comedy In something like, Ave weeks' time. This comedy, duly embel lished and carefully staged, was exhib ited to the usual large and cultured audi ence last night at the National. Just what kind of "merit the effort con tains would be somewhat hard to deter mine. Chiefly, It Is novel, unique, quaint. Not that the vehicle does not achieve the conventional effects In the conventional manner and with the conventional people, but then all sorts of houses may be built ot bricks and "Hon. Jorin" Grlgsby" Is dis tinctly a. departure from the general run. Much of this result Is caused by the witching time in which the" piece Is set 3S50 and more by the studiously praise worthy detail which has been "employed, both by the actor and the author, ,ln giv ing It that atmosphere which proves so great a charm. For tiie rest;.there Is a rather pretty Utile love story that is not above exciting conflicting sympathies In so far as It excites any and a number of laughable or weepable' situations that pleased the house immensely. , , "Hon. John Grigsby" is not a great play and in many respects it is not a good 'one, but It affords entertainment of the clean est and most wh61esome variety- it amuses- If It does not Inspire It glyes Mr. Russell several opportunities for good work, and so the constructor's probable purpose Is fulfilled. To compare the pre sentation with "A- Bachelor's Romance" or even "A Poor Relation" would be little short of folly. The methods displayed In its building aro too pjrlmltlv.e,the tale ton simple and too little touched upon, and the entire work too different In reason and result for that. It contains a great deal of rich humor and a great deal of pathos some of It tenderly natural and the rest of it rather strained. " Neither rIs' overly legitimate, but both reach, the public ear and eye with all the effect that they were Intended to have. And so "Hon. John Grlgsby" is a pleasing play Just a pleas ing play. Its plot Is probably, already familiar and so may be skctche.il very briefly. The principal personage in the piece is a poor lawyer, whose honesty has cost him everything excepting a bare living- and threatens to deprive his son of the woman he loves. Alleviation" from this distress comes with the attorney's nomination to the Supreme Court a nomination bought by a certain widow who has an affection for him and secured by a villain ot dye so deep that he might pose to advantage on the advertisements of a color factory. The candidate Is elected' a'tid'allgoes well until he discovery how he has been put Into office, refuses to forsake his princi ples and is in a fair way to -resign when a better way opens to him and all ends happily for everyone! 'in' UlCCoAiahi'. m. smr elves a nortraval of the title ' role that is astonishing ormust be to thos? ! who have always 'refuReVl tWTJcl'cve that in. la unssesscd of any versatility. Mr. Russell makes up the part to look like Henry Clay, ana-plays1 if its" Abraham Lincoln might have, had., he .lieqn tjat kind ot an artist. There are in his work many of the lovable manneilsms and characteristics that we have known so long, but it is still very different from the tilings that SoIJimltb ItusselJ usually does, and proves tliat he can act cleverly without destroying the even more enjoy able qualities of his entertainments. . The supporting company Is parllally good and would have b'eeiibette'r had Its members seemed less nervous and mere familiar with their lines. First In order of merit, perhaps, comes "William Far num the Don Jose, .of QJgiV, Nthersolf's "Carmen." and the lieutenant of "Un der the Red Robe?' ' Mr.- Fitrnum has lit tle chance to do .anything.. but,, he ,U, an intelligent, capable, conscientious fellow and gets more out of that little than most people would from a, great deal. AKr' ." Hudson is good in a low comedy roK a.; are William Sampson and Jaquts Mar tin, while both William Cullington and Lionel Barrymore strike one as being am ateurish and tiresome. James Lacktye. who looks and is very like his brother Wilton, is excellent in a heavy iait, Fanny Addison Pitt thoroughly artis-tlc in n "light one, Llla Convere and Alice Thiel appropriately, girlish, and Florence Rockwell unconvincing, displeasing, and utterly without conception of her ratt. Two matinees. I.nfn j l te "I.n Tomn," It Is certainly a lamentable commentary upon the artistic tastes ot the city ol Washington that a production of such merit as is that of "La Tosca" in the hands of the Melbourne MacDowell Blanche Walsh combination should be re ceived by as meager an audience, as as sembled last evening at the I-afayette. Possibly the light house was caused by a feeling of doubt that -any- but the lamented Fanny Davenport could cred itably fill the play's title role, but If such was the impediment to at tendance. It was proven a most flim sy excuse ere the end of the performance. Localltes yesternight pronounced JUss "Walsh an acceptable substitute for and successor to the departed tragedienne not her equal, perhaps, yet as candble a follower as" could be found..,in a search throughout the Rialto. As pronounces the capital, so pronounces the nation, and the young woman may well be proud of her reception. Comparisons will, necessarily, be, made between fine points in the work of the present and former stars. Calm Judgment" must accord to the young actress the fullest measure of well won -praise. While not Miss Davenport's equal in the more passionate scenes, she is distinctly her superior in the lighter and more flippant bits of the piece. Still, the cllmaxic ' sit uations of the .third 'and fourth-acts are so well worked up that Miss Walsh won call after call. That the "Trilby" of'but three brief years ago should lie the "La Tosca" ot today Is a commentary and a tribute that needs no elaboration. Little more need be said. Interest in the presentation was caused largely by curiosity regarding the merits of Miss Walsh. Melbourne MacDowell has been tested so frequently. In the fire of criticism and so universally found worthy that naught but good may be said concerning his characterization of the scheming Baron Scarpia, the forceful vil lain so pronounced In his latent energy and visible dignity. Arthur Elliott is ac ceptable as Mario" and Hugh Arnott in. fcrlor as Angelotti. "Antony and Cleopatra" will be the bill tonight. Acmleni) "On Lnnd null Sen.' Not infrequently a combination with all the earmarks of true merit goes through Washington unnoticed because its man agement cannot afford to play In other than second-class houses, while many pro ductions with nothing in particular to rec ommend them have filled the same" thea ters to their utmost capacity. Davis & Keogh's production of "On Land and Sea," as given last night at the Academy is one of the most-surprising things of the year. It was billed as, a, melodrama by CASTOHIA. Bnt yTln Kind Ym Haw Almjs Bought "r2fe"' those successful proprietors, and all the press 'notices mad It appear that such' was the character of tho piece, yet the audience whictfnassembled at Manager Rapley's cosy little place of amusement. was treated to ,one)pf the best burlesques ever seen In thlacjty. Tho offering is real; ly a farce, constructed" on the lines of the sensational and'thrRlecand the satire was carried out all tlirdligh the evening with out a hitch. Therei.was never a. let-up in the travesty. Tho. villain was such a deep, dyed villain tho hef,o such a perfect hero, the forlorn heroine seemed an exception ally forlorn heroine, and even the child was present trfcbhiplete the time-worn cast of conventional characters and Inci dentally to be chewed up in a threshlnir machine. The very specialties which were presented by the low comedians and their assistants for there were three of each proved perfect parodies on those usually seen In the popular-priced houses. As a burlesque, the presentation was rcmarkiw bly clever, and should please both those who. do and do not appreciate that class of entertainment. A party of Indians seated in one of the boxes on the right of the stage appeared to thoroughly enjoy the humor of the piece, and madei their pleasure known to the persons seated In. their vicinity by a variety of gutteral chuckles. Those who' were chiefly responsible for this cnthusias tic reception were Henry Plerson Fred Kensle, R, J. Moye. J. R. Glenroy, W. II. Smith, Edith Ives, Florence Baker and Alice Gllmour. Ciilunililn Ilnverly'n .tlliiH r..l. Down deep in the human heart, under' a mass of other emotions and records,' there Is something to which the minstrel show, like the circus, perennially anneals. There seems to Tie a crying need in he- average nature for burnt cork comedy, and tills need Is quite satisfied by "Col." Haverly and the aggregation of old-timers with which he occupied the stage last night at the Columbia. This Is not be cause tho jokes and soncs are new. fnr many of them are not, while some are:, v ; nui ueeause mere is any especial abil ity displayed, and.' it is not because the- accessories are-eiaoorate. for most of them seem of the simplest. The nudlenr.. n. sembled and It was large had come he- ......... .... .,,Lt,,w.A iuii-ii in pee ;i min strel show, and they left satisfied and happy, as they could not have been had tiie performance been poor. The star of the combination Is probably Billy Rice. whos.e name is familiar to rill' those who know about black-face laugh creators, and whoso eccentric drolleries aro as effective and mirth-provoking as they ever were. In his monologue on the 'Topics of the Hour," which is supposed to treat of the Spanish-American war and civil service reform, but which begins with a story about Adam and Eve on Pennsyl-, vanla Avenue, Mr, Rice managed to keep his hearers laughing till they were tired. His make-up is ,onc of the best possible of Jjs kind, and his impersonation is full of unctuous humor. The Nichols slstera. who offer some pickaninny diilogue. danc ing and comic business of the Topsy style, are extremely good at their work and" made an emphatle'hlt. In the scene called "Cotton Field Frolics." William Riley, as Martha Jane GK;Cfi,'"dId some "remarkably good work. Mri Riley possesses a voice which Is more'in harmony with the pe culiar plantation mjislc than' Is that of most men. and whenever he had anything to do In the course of the evening he proved entirely' satisfactory. In this sketch there Is Some very good buck anil winging by merriberjf of the company, and the finish Is provided in a lire teen'1 which is unlque'In'lts way. The next hit Is made by Ai'thur'Deming in a mono logue which Is particularly witty. He is followed by Bogart'and O'Brien, who give' a sort of musical -melange. Interspersed with low comedy, in a very clever man ner. The last offering on the program is what its authors, fall an aboriginal oper etta, entitled "The Princess of Madagas car." ... ICitiiiiii'n- Itrlll nutl V"oo!'m I!lr. MllMV. Pat Rellly Is undoubtedly one of the funniest funmakpr.s4,tn the variety busi ness. His annual visit to Kernan's means a period of unreserved merriment, and this week's engagement will prove no ex ception to the rule, if last night's hilarity may lie taken as a sign. "Reilly and Woods Big Show" has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the best and bright est in its line on' the road, and this time it seems to be bigger and brighter than ever. In Its ranks are contained some of the best "specialists in the business, and so the combination well deserves to be termed a "feature company." Instead of the usual burlesque, the olio is dotted here and there with concerted numbers which are novel and pleasing. Prominent among these are the "Six Yankee Doodle Girls," with a patriotic sketch in whlcli Mr. Bryan's newest song. "Santiago," and an impersonation of Col. Roosevelt, earn enthusiastic applause. "The Human Flags" Is another card which Is not only pleasing in execution but decidedly novel in conception. Pat Reilly provokes the usual amount of enjoyment, chiefly by meanj of hi3 clever crayon work. The De FilllpW ate very graceful terpsichoreon artists, who also assist the company in the "Dances of all Nations." a really enjoyab'e nov elty. The "Cyclone Six," with their com edy sketch, "The Husband's Return," cause no end ot laughter; the Dunbar- sisters are attractive singers, and tne three Melrose brothers perform some new acrobatic feats which, for neatness and difficulty, have not recently been sur passed here. The Weston sisters are local favorites, and their specialties prove cleverer than ever. Frank D. Bryan sings the songs he writes, and some of them are decidedly pleasing; Dan, Kittle, and Clara Louise Morton made a prompt hit In their musical sketch; Bessie Lamb earned a. number of recalls for her rag time ditties: Baker and Reynolds prove clever knockabout comedians. The pro gram closes with what seems a fitting finale to the best specialty show that has appeared here this season. IliJ.m VniulevIIIe. The burlesque of one of New York's latest successes as presented last night at the Bijou, under the name of Cyranose de Boot Jack," seemed to make an em phatic hit. The roles were all done by members of the h'ouse stock company. Those who assume Reading parts in the production are Sviltlam Gllmore, John Weber. Fanny Baker, Nina Collins, Ida Howell and EfTie Fy. A ballet Is led by Mile. Kraske. This; together with tho rest of the progrdm arranged by Mana ger Grieves, made an attractive bill.
