JAPANESE THEATRES When 'sblood

JAPANESE THEATRES When "blood-
and-thunder" melodrama is produced at
Japanese theatre, the audience insists
upon having real blood and laundering
racket. A play which was recently put
on the boards at theatre in, Yokohama,
was not wanting in elements of horror,
such as the successful stimulation of
wounds. but it afforded an opportunity
for . more amusing bit of realism. One
of the most terrible scenes was supposed
to take place during storm. The stage
manager disdained to have recourse to
the mske-believe method of peas and
shot to simulate the sound of the rain.
He must give his audience real rain, and
SO, by means Of concealed pipes, have .
regular pouring shower. Continuing
throughout the scene, deluginR the stage

Prince Hassan and His Gloves.

We have from correspondent curl
Gus bit of information about the young
commander-in-chief Of the Egyptiap
contingent on the Danube. Though but
twenty-four years old, Prince Hassan, son
of the Khedive, is an experienced soldier,
and has already had his share of haps
and mishaps. The young prince received
his military education at Woolwich and
Berlin, after which he occupied the Office
of minister of war to his father. During
the late war with Abyssinia he was seri-
ously wounded and made prisoner. Al
though treated with great consideration,
King John, ITO punish him." as he ex-
pressed it, "for fighting against Chris
tians," ordered that large cross should
be tattooed on the back Of each of the
princes hands. This was done; and
when his wounds we're healed the young
officer was released and returned to Cairo.
Arrived at home, Prince Hassan consult
ed the best European as we'll as native
ply sicisns and chemists, and COpt sooth-
sayers, promising large sum to any one
who should rid him of these mementoes
of the Abysinisn king. Advice Was
freely offered and experiments tined; the
prince underwent much suffering, but all
In vain-the Christian crosses were in
delible. In despair he finally resorsed 10

In Florida and Louisiana before next Monday,

it was decided that there need be no haste in
the matter and that a week hence would be
be long before there would be some reyela-
t1ons from Republican sources in Louisiana
regarding the counting Of the vote and the
operations Of the commission that visited that
State year ago. Capt Dennis has remained
very quiet to-day, and declines to be inter
viewed, though now and then dropping a hint
or fact. For instance he is reported as say

til he has obtained q full exposure. of the

Mr.. Acklen knows how and is ready to bring

WAsH1NaToN, May 1t Is to be hoped that
the desperate make shifts of Schurz' sco,ln-

fail. The logmen may rest assured that they
will be sustained and protected, and they
should turn deaf ear to all propositions Of
Schurz vagabonds for compromise
1T Is well understood that Adams intends to
do everything In his power to save Carter,
and the House will certainly send the com
mittee called for in Acklen's resolution. which
is now in the hands Of the Judiciary Com
mittee. Aeklep will have the resolution re-
ported favorably very soon. and the logmen
should hold out, even at the expense of tenn
pnrary Inconvenience, because the retrihutlon
when 1t comes, will be all the heav vier for the
delay.
Schurz Is thoroughly alarmed. and his
mouchnrda have been instructed to make any
sort OF terms they can, in order to close the
matter up before the committee Of Congress
can get down there. lf the loglnen will show
a united front and stand firm, the whole busi-
ness Will collapse soon. BUELL..
