National Theatre-Buffaio Dill.

NATIONAL Iheatfe-buuaio biil.
The National Theatre was filled to its utmost
capacity last night to witness Buffalo Bill in
the character of the Scout in his new drama of
"The Red Right Hand" The play abounds In
thrilling incidents, which are very ingeniously
relieved by the fun of Mr.. Carroll rs Dennis
and Nr. Melmer as the Chinamau. If all the
Chinese In California are half as funny as their
representative here We must beg leave to differ
with Mr. Kearney as to their being nuisance
All the characters were well represented by
members Of Mr.. Cody company, and the trib
ute paid to tho lamented Clusters memory Is
we'll worthy the esteem that gallant soldier
was held in by Mr.. Cody and tho whole people
of the United States. 1t will be repeated to.

Last evenings performance was the occasion
of the debut IN drama Of Miss Helen Stuart,
who assumed tho role of Ruth Ramsey in very
graceful manner. Tonight Buffalo Bill takes
q benefit, and the house should be crowded.

The announcement that Isaac Cohen, the
labor agitator, would lead q crowd Of unem.
ployed laborers against those engaged on paw ns
work In the various parts Of the city, yesterday
afternoon, at two o'clock, caused a large crowd
t. assemble in the vicinity Of Cohen's head
quarters, on New Jersey avenue. When the
hour for the proposed sortie arrived, Isaac
stated that owing to some of the tansparencies
not being ready, the line of march would not
be formed until four o'clock During tho in.
torvsl, rs the crowd began to grow impatient,
Cohen made q short, rambling address, in
which he told his hearers that they would be
kept marching until they got Sl.50 per day. II
necessary they would camp out on one Of the
reservations, and remain until the Commits
siouers granted them their terms.
This served'to keep the crowd in good hui
NOR; but Cohen was too smart to let his men
go out to the works on Seventh and other
streets, as he had been told that the men en-
plOyed were not In favor Of him nor his teach-
ings Upon various pretexts he contrived to
keep his crowd In subsection until nearly six
o'clock, when a procession about $50 strong was
formed and marched up New Jersey avenue to
L street, down L to Fourth, thonco to lnliana
avenue, and turned into Four and. a-half street,
over to South Washington.
IN CAMP.
The procession halted on q commons near
tho Arsenal and Cohen informed his followers
that they would spend tho night there. Prepar'
| atons were made at once to carry the plan into
execution, but at eleven o'clock the order was
countermanded and camp was broken. Isaac
and his cohorts then retired quietly to theiI
homes, with the understanding that they
should meet again this morning at six o'clock
| The police authorities anticipate no further
trouble, aud the reserves which have been on
duty at headquarters for the past two nights
were Orderedycsterday afternoon to return to
