The Russian bear growls, through a
s. Petersburg paper, over the Presidents
message; and the British lion is disposed
TO show its teeth at Secretary Blaine's
circular touching the Panama canal, and
at his despatch insisting upon the abro-
cation Of the Clayton Bulwer Treaty, in
which he cites strong historical evidence
to show that this treaty was regarded in
England and the United States from the
time Of its signature, as failure to ad-
just the relative claims Of two powers to
a controlling influence in the waters of
the new world. But there is no occasion
for alarm in either case. The diplomats
will have little extra correspondence to
occupy their leisure hours, and that is

Theatre.

a good-sized audience was present
at the Theatre last evening, when
Sullivan's Mirror of Ireland " and
comedy troupe made its first ap-
pearance in number of years. The
entertainment is a fine one. The
views of the Emerald Isle are GER
tainly the finest that have been
shown here, being clear and distinct,
and remarkably realistic to those
who had seen the originals, and
very pleasing to those who have
never been SO fortunate. Dan and
Josie Sullivan are very good; he is
fine specimen of the Irish guide,
full of fun and humor; she a SPLEEN
did specimen of the Irish girl; they
sang fairly, and danced exceedingly
well. The lecture regarding the
scenery has merit in being brief and
comprehensive, and is delivered by
Mr.. White, who is also musical di-
rector. If the frequent laughter
and applause on the part of the
audience can be taken as evidence.
the entertainment is first-class.
Mr.. Geo. f. Moore, as Simple
Simon, was very good; the makeup,
conception and execution were as
near to the imbecile Simple Simon
as they could well be.
1t will be repeated, and for the
last time, tonight. Those who de-
sire to see a splendid panorama of
Ireland, and hear Irish songs, see
Irish dances and get a fine specimen
of the proverbial Irish wit, should
attend tonight. A complete change
of programme is advertised.

Burglary.

Sometime between 10 on Saturda.
might and II o'clock on Sunda,
morning, a burglary was committed
in the butcher shop of George Thur
good, near Savage's Art Bazaar. OF
Saturday night Mr.. Thurgood lefr
the money in his shop, by mistake
in a place where it could be seer
readily, intending to take it home
with him. He did not think of il
until about 10 o'clock on Sunday
morning when he Immediately rode
to town, but found that he had been
anticipated and the money had been
taken by someone else. The
exact amount stolen is I'M
known, but tits somewhere between
$40 and 500. The place was not
broken in. Access had been gained
by the back door, which, being badly
swollen, could not be properly fast
ened, and was found in the same
way as Mr.. ThurgOOd left it, both by
himself and Nightwatchman Wat
son. There is no clue to the thief /;
but the frequency of these thefts on
Mr.. Watson's beat, and his well
known vigilance and practical
sense of duty, together with
The absence of any sign that
will lead to detection, give rise
to the opinion, that these operations
are performed by some one
thoroughly acquainted with the
block, and probably a resident on it.

There was a rumOr in circulation

that a certain person had in posses

learned from Madam RumOr who

fact, a blIeback, and a IS bill issued
by the old Mormon bank of Kirt-

TeleDhOna.

The unprecedentedly intermittent
weather-frst cold, then warm,
snow, then rain-has had the effect
of delaying work on the telephone
system which we were promised
here some time ago, and which it
was expected would be in operation
by this time. However, the pros
poets now are that it will not be
long before its benefits are being en-
joyed by the Salt Lake public. On
Monday the distribution of poles
commenced, and will be continued
on the routes laid out until finished.
AS soon as the poles shall have been
distributed, the work of running
the wires will commence.

Der of the bar, and socially, has
borne out that reputation. In such

The Keyser Case.

The Keyser case, growing out of
the stealing of Church cattle, and
which has been in progress for some
time past, will be given to the jury
this morning. On Saturday and yes
terday the taking of testimony was
gone through with, and on Monday
afternoon, before the regular time
for adjOUTning the Court had ar
rived, the testimony being all in,
the arguments were commenced by
Assistant District Attorney Beatty.
1t being desired to finish the
case as soon as possible, it was de-
cided to hold an evening session. AT
7 o'clock, therefore, after the recess,
the arguments were resumed, Mr..
Brown speaking for the defense.
He was followed by Judge VanZile,
who concluded the arguments. A
vote was then taken as to whether
the jury would take the case then, it
being about 10 o'clock, or wait until
this morning. The jury preferring
to take it in the morning, they were
discharged until $50 O'clock, at
which time the charge will be deliv-
cred, and they will retire. Before
tomorrow morning the verdict will
be known, if any can be agreed upon.

Exit "JupctiOn.n

A few days ago we stated that in
a short time the Ogden Junction
would suspend publication. Last
evening that paper published its
yaledicJOry, giving, as reason for
the suspension, a lack of public
patronage sufficient to justify it in
continuing the work. The Junction
goes out of existence completely
and entirely, but the field thus made
vacant will be filled in a short time
by the Weber County Herald, which,
while being controlled by an en-
tirely different company, viii, it is
understood, at once step into the
functions shoes, and be a
thoroughly representative Mormon
paper.
