Chicago Times on account of his 'igno

The condition of the Jews in Morocco

Mr. Henry E. Abbey gives some very
creditable reasons for his conclusion not
to produce upon the stage the "Passion
Play." It is rumored, however, that one
of the chief reasons has not been given
the public. This was his inability to
find in this country a man mean enough
to assume the role of Judas. If the ru
mor be true it shows that those people
wfio aver that the world is no better than
it was eighteen hundred years ago, are
laboring under a misapprehension of
facts.
Congress meets next Monday and the
members are alreadyjassembling in force.
The following gossip from the New York
World's Washington special is of inter
est iu this connection:
Speaker Randall, who arrived here
yesterday afternoon, does not think there
will be any necessity for an extra ses
sion and the very few members now here
coincide with him. Of course, there will
be an extra session of the Senate to con
firm General Garfield's nominations, and
the length of the session will depend up
on the ratification of the new Chinese
treaty before the 4th of March next. It
is not believed by the members now here
that there will be any legislation on the
recommendation .of Secretary Sherman
that will affect the present status of the
standard silver dollar. The Democratic
members will hold a caucus next Satur
day night to map out a course to be pur
sued during the coming session.
