FREE WOOL RESULTS.
It is well for free traders to contem
plate the effect of their legislative work
occasionally and study its lessons.
The free wool schedule of the Wilson
bill went into effect on August 28, 1894,
and from, that time to the end of the
year, embracing four months and the
three days of August, the importation
of foreign wool, duty free, amounted to
75,182,033 pounds. For the correspond
ing period in 1893, under the McKinley
law, the importations of wool amounted
to 13,960,498 pounds, making a difference
against our wool growers in favor of the
foreign grower of 61,221,535 pounds. We
estimate the receipts for the last three
days in August, 1893, at 750,000 pounds.
The leveling of prices under the influ
ence of this enormous increase in the
foreign supply is but one of the serious
aspects of the situation which will tend
to destroy the American production, the
main factor working in that direction
being the loss of the home market
through its occupancy by the foreign
article. If our growers are willing to
meat the prices of foreign wool there
will yet be a sufficient diminution in the
quantity to be taken from the American
grower to seriously reduce his production.

President Cleveland is 58 years old,
he being born March 18th. Iu compar
ing this administration with his pre
vious one, we are forced to believe, in
spite of his being in the full vigor of
manhood, as measured by years, that
his dotage began with the close of his
first term, and has vigorously kept pace
with that of his party. ' The good old
democratic beldame, in the fulness of
her hundred years, sits mumbling over
the pleasures of her youth, and the
president seems to have been inocu
lated with her imbecility.
Congressman Ellis is in Portland and
will visit The Dalles in a few days. In
conversation with a Chronicle reporter
yesterday he expressed his .disappoint
ment at the president's failure to sign
the bill concerning the forfeited railroad
lands. Mr. Ellis worked hard to get
the bill through the house, meeting with
much opposition, but finally .overbore it
all by sheer persistency. Secretary
Smith is inimical to the bill, and it was
due largely to that enmity that the pres
ident killed it.
In conversation with Governor Pen
noyer yesterday he expressed the opin
ion that if the free silver movement con
tinues to grow for the next year as it has
the past one, there will be two Oregon
men who have been given considerable
newspaper notoriety, who will have but
little to say Mr. Scott of the Oregonian
and himseli. The question by that time
will be thoroughly settled that talk from
the former will be useless, and from the
latter unneeded.
It appears now that the Spanish war
vessel did fire on the steamship Allianca,
but the Spanish commander claims that
the steamer was close in shore, and that
she hoisted the English flag and not the
American. It is also stated that the
Allianca had landed a lot of arms, and
Cubans who were going to take part in
the rebellion.
We visited the Oregonian office yes
terday, and for the first time saw the
type-setting machines in operation.
They are wonderful pieces of median
ism, and as we watched them turning
out the lines of solid type, we were
forced to almost believe that each of
them possessed some sort of a thinker.
"Kins; Klchard" at fftmlc.
Having been requested to give my inv
pressions of the play presented at Wa
mic by the King Richard Tragedy Com
pany, I will preface by saying that a
play can be very correctly judged by the
way it is received by the audience. Ap
plying this rule,, the presentation is the
greatest in dramatic effect ever wit
nessed by your humble servant. The
bouse was packed until there was barely
standing room ; yet so all-absorbing was
each one's interest in the play that per
sonal comfort was treated as a matter of
little consequence.
The former stage editions of this great
historic tragedy have differed in so
many respects from Shakespeare's orig
inal, that the critic would be widely
misled who forms his opinion of the one
from the other. -.. In the patch-work
"Richard m" by Cibber, in which
Keane acquired some questionable fame,
Shakespeare and history " are' both ig
nored. Richard is there presented as a j
villain of very commonplace mind; a
being whose only aim in life is to be a
villain. The conception of the play, as
presented by the talented "King Richard
Company," differs widely from this sort
of thing. Strict attention is paid to his
tory. The immortal creations of Shake
speare are honored and reverenced. The
main impulse is most apparent. Inor
dinate' ambition to be king is clearly
shown forth as the father and prompter
of all of Gloucester's horrid deeds. Thus
the moral is good, and terches what
Shakespeare intended, i. e., that perma
nent happiness and success can be at
tained only when the moral and intel
lectual forces of our natures are properly
balanced. - -
THE ACTING.
Opening scene With head bent in
thought, arms folded, and slow, long
step, longer, it would seem, than the
height of his figure might warrant, yet
perfectly natural to bim, and so that his
lifted foot emerged first into view, the
tragedian appeared upon the scene, en
veloped and absorbed in the character of
Richard. If tumultuous plaudits ex
torted from him a momentary recogni
tion of the audience, it was done with
no suspension of the look and action of
the character. That look and action
were profoundly self-involved. He de
livered the soliloquy beginning with
"Now is the winter of our discontent,"
in an inward, many-etinged resonance of
tone, -varied by outbursts of passionate
vehemence when descanting on his
"awry deformity." He speaks like a
man thinking aloud, not as if reciting
from memory. To speak with exactness,
he never recites at all. His acting is a
congress of causes co-ordained with the
main causes. The full mental estimate
he has made of the character, gives to
his entire action the appearance of spon
taneous outbursts of a great mind over
balanced by ambition. - The relentless
and merciless manner with which Rich
ard treats all who are between himself
and the crown, is in a measure compen
sated by certain glimpses of remorse, to
gether with his careful and almost
studied courtesy to all subordinate per
sons.
The tent scene, in which Richard
starts out of his remorseful dream, is
one of terrific grandeur. In the con
cluding scene, true to his strong and de
termined character, he fights with all of
the fire and venom of a madman, even
when hurled to the ground; and brought
to bay by death, while his limbs are all
powerless to act, he vomits forth a pearl
of awful eloquence, which sound only
like the "cloudy groan of dying thunder
on the distant winds."
The minor characters, such as Has
tings, 'Buckingham, - Elisabeth, Rich
mond, Lady Anne, etc., are well done.
Margaret, the mad queen, and princi
pal supporting character, is rendered by
Madam Gordon, whose - stage presence
classical culture and physical training,
together with her natural histrionic
powers, have eminently fitted her for
this responsible position.
The appearance of the princes on
their way to the tower, where they are
slaughtered, is too much for sympa
thetic people, so I did not try to resist,
I could not help it, so I cried a little.
The original text is strictly preserved,
and scenes throughout are arranged with
an eye to their best dramatic effect.
These arrangements pay full tribute to
that immortal genius, who has been so
beautifully called "an intellectual ocean,
whose waves touch all the shores of
thought." The "King Richard Com
pany" has overcome a difficulty which
has heretofore baffled the ingenuity of
play-writers, as well as actors. In the
presentation of what is termed the ghost
scene, instead of introducing ghosts
through the trap door, which, by the
way, can at best seem only ludicrous in
an age not superstitious. This work is
assigned to . Margaret, the mad queen,
whose character has bo grown through
out the play that it comes perfectly nat
ural to find her hovering about the last
scenes of awful conflict, which are soon
to determine the destinies of England
The play comprises three acts, twenty-
one scenes ; is presented , with three
shifts of scenery, the interior palace,
scene, the old tower prison, and "the
tented field of Bosworth." Runs three
and a half hours.
