HE, She, Him and Her''-What it Is
and How 1t Goes.
George H. Adams and his He, She, Him
and Her had bad weather last night, but
the people that braved the rain laughed
until their sides ached over the combination
Of nonsense that was in the performances.
The prog, anime says that there is
no plot to the play, and there is
none. To tell what there is to it would be
a difficult matter There is plenty of fun,
though, and the performance is rollicking
one from beginning TO end. Mr.. Adams
plays the part Of a country lad not over
stocked with good sense, and he plays it

Brant," who is down in the cast
as "a fortunate waif,n but

of good actors. There is any amount Of
funny business" in the performance that
goes" from the start. 1t will be repeated
tonight, and lovers " the nonsensical can
not AJAX for a play better suited to their

Preparations for the Scientific Expedi-
tfOn to Africa.

Preparations for the expedition of astrono-
mers to Africa to observe the total eclipse of
the sun that will occur in December ara
being actively pushed. Prot. Todd of Amherst
college has charge of the expedition, by direc-
ton of Secretary Tracy, and he is busy in Bos-
ton arranging the details for ship
ping the various instruments that
will be needed in observing the eclipse. The
exact day of sailing has not yet been fixed, but
the expedition will start early in October.
Neither has the vessel that is to bear the sci
entists across the waters been chosen. It will.
however, be United States man-of-war. A
stop will be made at the Cape Verde Islands,
about half way to st. Paul de-
Loando, where the expedition will land.
The plans for observing the eclipse are very
extensive, Us this is the last phenomenon OF
this sort that will occur for several years. Prof.
Todd desires to obtain some large photoeranbs
Of the corona and has provided camera which
is thirteen yards long. Several naturalists of
the National museum will accompany the expe-
dition, among them Prof. Loomis and Mr..
Harvey Brown.

THE "BLACKLEGs" MUST GO.
Dock LabOrers Insist Upon Their Dis
missal-The Police Protect Them.

LONDON, Sept 1S.-Three thousand dock la
borers assembled outside of the gates of the
Victoria dock this morning and demanded the
dismissal of the "Blacklegs" employed there,
otherwise they would not return to work. The
directors of the dock company refused to CON-
ply with the demand and called upon the police
to protect the men at work. strong force OF
police appeared on the dock and the BLACK
legs" are working under their protection.
Work on the docks is steadily assuming its
normal aspect. Fewer non-union men are EN-.
ployed today than yesterday, owing in great
measure to the fact that many of them are ioin-
ing the union. and the returned strikers are
much quieter.
The directors Of the dock companies have
sent protest to Cardinal Manning and the lord
mayor, pointing out the cases Of violence on
the part of the strikers since the agreement for
the settlement OF the strike was arrived at. and
stating that number of men are refusing To
submit to the terms Of the agreement. They
ask the cardinal and the lord mayor to use
their influence in the interest of peace.

THE NORTHWEST TERRITORY.
Canadian Pacific Directors Headed OF
the Northern Pacific People.

WINNIPEG, MAN, Sept 1s.-The Canadian
Pacific directors have apparently headed off
the Northern Pacific people in their endeavor
to reach the northwest territory. Negotiations
have been in progress for some time between
the Northern Pacific and the Northwest Central
stockholders for the purchase of the latter line
by the former. The Northwest Central is pro-
lected through the most fertile part of the Sas-
hatchewan country and will eventually extend
to the Peach river district and would prove a
valuable feeder for the Northern Pacific lines
In Manitoba. English capitalists, backed pre-
sumably by the Canadian Pacific, have made
final arrangements with the Canadian share
holders for the construction of the entire road.
The English capitalists have agreed to finish
the first 90 miles from Brandon this fall and
next year to complete the road to Battleford.
N.W.T. Mr.. Charlebois, one of the Canadian
directors, has resigned his position and has ac-
cepted the contract to carry out the work.

CHEATING THE SUFFERERS.
Members of the Spokane Falls Common
Council Appropriate Relief Funds.

SPOKANE FALLS, W.T.. Sept. 4s.-The names
OF Sidney d. Waters, Peter Dueber and William
Gillespie, members of the common council and
police officer are mixed up in very unsavory
affair. They are charged with attempting to
appropriate the funds and supplies for the re-
lief OF the sufferers by the late fire in this city.
Some time ago man named ingalls, was ar
rested at Chico charged with selling some of
the provisions and appropriating the pro-
ceeds. He was brought back to this
city and made a startling confession to
the effect that a conspiracy existed among the
city officials and others to appropriate the sup
plies on large scale. An investigation re-
vealed the fact that several thousand dollars
worth of the supplies had been stolen and con-
verted into money. A report has been made
duplicating the above-named councilmen in
the plot. Warrants for their arrest were sworn
out 1t is understood that warrants for several
others will soon be issued. The councilmen's s
examination has been set for Saturday and
they were released in 1000 bail each.

EVA HAMILTON IN COURT.
Her Trial for Assaulting Nurse Donnelly
Commenced.

MAYS LANDING, NJ, Sept. 1S.-The court
room was crowded this morning with people
anxious to hear the proceedings in the case of
Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton, indicted for the
atrocious assault upon her child's nurse, Mary
Donnelly, and to get glimpse of the now
famous principals in the affair." few unim-
portant cases were heard, and at about IL
o'clock the case of Mrs. Hamilton was called
and at about the same time the outer doors
were swung open and Mrs. Hamilton, the much
talked-of prisoner entered, leaning on the arm
OF Capt. Perry, her counsel
Immediately following them entered Mrs.
Rupp, the proprietress of Noll cottage, and
Mary Ann Donnelly, the wounded nurse. They
were all shown seats within the rail- Mrs.
Hamilton sitting beside her counsel. She
looked pale and wan and her face showed evil
dence OF the strain of her close confinement
MIR. Robt. Ray Hamilton a few minutes later
entered the court room and took seat beside
Mrs. Rnpp. lie did not look toward his wife.
Inc work OF selecting jury was quickly dis
posed OF, the full quota being selected in a
comparatively short time. Mrs. Hamilton
frequently sobbed aloud during the selection
OF the jury and gave every evidence of hope

jury had been empannelled, opened the case for
WIG PioeCCutiou anu reviewed. the details OF the
assault of Mrs. Hamilton upon the nurse.

Donnelly was now entirely out of danger.
Mary Ann Donnelly then was next called.
She testified that on the morning of the as
sauit she responded to Mrs. HamIlton's call
to lock her trunk. Upon reaching
the door Of the room she saw
that MIR. and Mrs. Hamilton had been
quarreiling, and that Mr.. Hamilton's shirt had
been torn off. At Mr.. Hamilton's request she
went in search of a policeman, but could not
hnd one. She returned to the room when Mrs.
Hamilton seized her by the throat and called
her vile name. The witness grappled with
Mrs. Hamilton and demanded that She with

bottle at her. Mr.. and Mrs. Hamilton then
grappled and the witness stood in the door,
which was half open, when Mrs Hamilton sud-
denly sprang toward her and drove the knife
into her side

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Powder and Dynamite Enough to Blow
Up q Whole Neighborhood Found,

CHICAGO, Sept ia dispatch from San
Francisco says: Giant powder enough to destroy
the entire neighborhood was unearthed a few
days ago by James Haskins as he was digging
on his lot and the story Of the find has just
come out The property is in the most precipi-
tous district in the city and Haskins sought to
level OF the ground His methods met with
strong objections from the neighbors and it is
supposed some Of these adopted a desperate
game to get Haskins out of the way and blow
up his property. An Haskins was working about
the place with pick he upturned what looked
like stick of candy. On looking closer he saw
the word ''giant" stamped ON it. His heart
stood still for moment as he realized it was
giant powder. Three dynamite bombs and
twenty-one sticks Of giant powder were un-
earthed within short compass. This was turned
over to the police, who have since been at work
on the case without satisfactory results. Across
the street nearly seven hundred children were
ct school and had chance blow from Haskins'
pick exploded the giant powder half the fam
lies at that end Of town would have been in
mourning

A COMPROMISE PROPOSED
In Order to Avert an International Com
plication-The Boy and the Diplomat.

There is trouble brewing between the navy
and the diplomatic corps. In certain board
ing house in the vicinity of the Arlington
dwell a naval officer and his son. bright lit
tie fellow about fifteen years old, who has q
great fondness for game fowls, and in the pur-
suit Of this liking has collected quite number
OF very fine roosters which, after the fashion Of
their kind, are prossessed Of strong Growing
abilities. Next door lives a member Of for
eign legation, representing one of the most inn
portant of the European powers, who is a
skilled musician and whose piano
is seldom closed or stilled. The Growing of the
game cocks in the next yard disturbs his del
icate nature beyond measure, and he recently
made a complaint to the lady of the house
where the officer resided. He told her that he
could no longer endure the nuisance and that
if it was not stopped he should complain to
Mr.. Blaine and have the matter made an inter-
national question. The lady, cunning diplo-
mat, brought the foreigner and the owner of
the offensive fowls together and the former
stated his case. Ween he had finished the
little fellow thought minute and then ex-
claimed: II tell you what. If you will shut
up on that piano Of yours I'll get rid Of my
roosters Is it a go?'
There the matter rests The foreigner is
considering this offer to compromise and as
yet has not made his complaint to the State
department

THE FRENCH CLERGY.
Eject of the Pope's Protest Againss
Their Exclusion from Politics.

LONDON, Sept Is-The statement made by
the Rome correspondent of the Chronicle and
confirmed by other press representatives at the
italian capital that the pope has solemnly and
vigorously protested against the action Of the
French minister OF justice in excluding the
French clergy from participation in the coming
general elections. TO the extent of influencing
suffrages, has aroused good deal of comment
on what u generally regarded as the vatican's
refusal to admit that sauce for the goose may
serve for the gander.
POLITICIANS VIEWS.
Concerning the protest Of his holiness .
prominent politician. himself Catholic, said
last evening: ''Of course the vatican has every
thing to gain and nothing TO lose in France,
whereas IN America, where the priest McGlynn
and others of his calling and faith were pro-
hibited from active political work. the condi-
tions are reversed. Still the number of per-
sons IN this country and on the continent who
are unable or unwilling 10 reconcile the two
cases is very large aud growing and the con-
yiction is strengthening that the position tasen
by the pontf IN asserting the political rights
OF the French clergy must certainly weaken
the premises from which the conclusion of Nc
Glynn's euipabIhty was deduced."
The foregoing expression of opinion reflects
the sentiments of many others of the faith
leading them TO regret that their spiritual lead
ers should have voluntarily placed themselves
IN a false position, especially when no good re-
suits can be foreseen from any point Of view
whatsoever.
BULGARIAN INDEPENDENCE.
Though it is officially denied at Sofa that the
independence of Bulgaria will shortly be pro-
claimed, the number of believers in the first
statement has not been diminished thereby.
1t is pretty well known that the Bulgarian for
eign department has for some time past been
industriously sounding the powers as 10 their
attitude IN the event of Bulgaria's assumption
OF the dignity OF an independent state. and it
is equally well known that several governments
have intimated their indifference IN the matter.
such expressions have In every case been con-
strued as favorable to the scheme. the Ultimate
aim OF which is the proclamation of Prince
Ferdinand as king of Bulgaria, which shall in
clude eastern Roumelia, and the extraordinary
military activity OF which Bulgaria has recenIly
been the scene, Is another step IN furtherance
OF the aspirations of Ferdinand and his devoted
mother
