CORA TANNER.

Cora Tanner will appear at the Hyperion on Saturday next in "Alone in London,' a spectacular comedy drama, with wealth of scenery. The New York Times of Septem- Der last says "Alone in London is strong play, capitally acted, and the scenery is un- usually fine. It draws large audiences. Cora Tanner, a handsome and intelligent actress, made her first appearance in this city as a star, and confirmed the good reports which had been made of her. Her methods are all her own and are decidedly impressive. As Annie Meadows, she dresses well and acts without exrravagance in speech or in action. In the scenes calling for emotional power she was very successfuln

An Unexpected Auy Fer the co

AAA OAoARCCt60 AA1Y EOT bne
 CHICAGO, April 3.-The Burlington peo- pie have found an unexpected ally in the lumbermen. There was a secret and pro- longed session of the Lumber Exchange to-day. The paralyzing condition of the trade was vigorously discussed. Leading members of the organization pointed out that over $3O,000, ,0oO worth of lumber was tied up, that the Burlington was doing it's best to. raise the blockade, but it was hampered by other roads. while the strikers were indirectly using the fact of the blockade as 8 club to accomplish their aims. The upshot of the gathering was the adoption of resolution deciding to take proceedings against every road connecting with the Burlington which should refuse to haul out their lumber and trapsportit over their lines. A committee was appointed with power to take any action they may think necessary in order to bring the embargo to an end The committee has a circular in type which will be sent to the managers of the roada leading east and west early in the morning.

The Relt Line Hard Pushed

The Belt Line Hard Pushed.
 CHICAGO, April 3.-The Burlington road
 this afternoon applied to Judge Gresham for
 an injunction against the Belt line to re-
 strain the latter from refusing to handle "Q" freight or in any way refusing the ''Q" road such facilities in the matter of handling freight as it furnished other roads. All the officials and employees of the Belt line arc made defendants. Several weeks since the same proceedings were begun against the Belt road. but the matter was allowed to drag with the understanding that the Belt would handle 70" freight, and also that the bill should remain on file pending any emer- gency. The proceedings to-day indicate that the Belt is being badly pushed by its em- ployes, and that it has tacitly agreed to the reviewing of the original bill. Judge Gres- ham granted temporary writ.
 A Trust at the Bottom of the Strike. CHICAGO, April 3.-When the Burlington railway asked Judge Gresham for an order to compel the Rock Island to handle "Qs freight, the Rock Island answered by charg- ing that the present strike was simply part of the Burlington programme to force the other lines into joining railway "trust," {" which the Burlington was said to desire MT. n. B. Stone, general manager of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, makes answer to these charges in an affidavit which was filed this afternoon. The affidavit denies in de- tail all the charges of the Rock Island, whieh \ it pronounces scandaleus and false. It says the rate war was initiated by the Rock Is- land and other lines against the most earnest efforts of the Burlington. The "trust" story ' is pronounced utterly false. MT. Stone de- ! neunceg as stfalse and reckless" the charges \ of the Rock Island that the strike was allow | ed in order to coerce the Burlington's conn., | petitors into acquiesoence in tho railway ! trust, and calls attention to the 'inexcusable | falsity" of the Rock Islands charges "that ! complainant has been in bad faith crowding ! traf6c exchange on the defendant with the purpose of disabling it in the opera- | tion of it's road. The afhdavits on ! file and the bills of lading accompany | ing the several b1cckaded shipments whereby it fully appears that they were all shipments made by private consigners and | that complainant had nothing to do with the origin or the routing thereof" In conclusion | Mr. Stone declares that contrary to the Rock
 Islands assertion made in their answer that | it was an imposition to resume its former res | iations with complainant ''no notice has been Igaiven complainant that the engineers and | hrenen of defendant had given up control of it's traffic department or granted permission to the defendant to conduct it's business as g public carrier according to law or that the
 defendants policy of absolute non intercourse ! as declared in the orders and letters of its Aagents was in any respect altered"
