The Natl. Rep. Convention.

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb. 19.-Andrew
B. Humphrey, secretary of the Re-
publican League OF the United States,
arrived here yesterday, and formed
arrangements for the national con-
vention, which convenes here on
the 2Sth of this month quite
satisfactorily. Mr.. Humphrey said
at the National convention which
was held in New York in 1899.
only 300 clubs were represented, but
at this convention 80 states and terri
tories will send 300 delegates repre-
senting 10000 active clubs and over a
million voters. A number of republi-
cans will be here, making in all
probability 10000 persons in attend
ance. 1t is intended to make the club
permanent and prominent feature in
republican politics, and to promote
the social feature in order to hold
clubs together in the offices. I be-
lieve the republican majority in the
next congress is due almost entirely
to these clubs.

THE NEW OPERA.
Carleton's Company Greeted With a
Large and Appreoiative
Audience.

Audience.
The Carleton Opera company pro-
duced "Mynheer Jan" for the first
time in this city last night at the
Grand opera house to house in
which but few seats remained unsold.
Carleton, as impresario, united his
business qualities and rare good taste
in the selection of his singers, both
in the leading parts and chorus,
while the stage settings and costumes
were in perfect good taste. The COM
pany has been selected with great
care this season, though most Of the
leads are not strangers to San Anto-
MO. Mr.. Drew, the comedian, is still
retained and is as good as ever, if not
better. Miss Rose Beaudet, Miss
A lice Vincent, and, of course, Miss
Clara Wisdom are retained, and also
Messrs. J. X. Murray, J. C. Taylor
and Robert Broderick. Miss Clara
Lane takes the place of Miss Fannie
Rice as soubrette. and while she has
not the animation and stage magnet
ism of this little lady, she has more
dramatic expression and sings bet
ter soprano.
OF the operetta little can be said.
1t has been reduced somewhat
from its original shape in
to a compact form, and
though there is little in the way of
dramatic effect, it is full of pleasing
situations and comical episodes, the,
chief of which was the scarecrow
scene by Drew, in the third act. Writ
ten as it is by the same men who pro-
duced "Erminie," there are no,
"Erminie" lullabys,. but there are
some better effects of musical writing.
In the first act this is best shown.

music are strikingly familiar to "Er-

of the opera. A pleasing feature in
the second act was the Amazonian

size, with beautiful forms and bright
armOred uniforms.
The audience last night, while not
being particularly enthused over the
music of the opera, were we'll pleased
with the company, and attested this
by liberal applause. Tonight the

The German Letter Trick.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 49,
Ex-United States Consul Green baum
to Samoa, is quoted by the examin er
today as saying with reference to
mail matter reaching Capt. Leary,
when at Samoa island, it is nothing
new to me; when 1 was in Samoa 1
was informed by an employee of the
German trading company that they
had a regular system of opening
letters by steaming them. 1t was
then easy to take out the contents,
copy all the correspondence therein
and replace them in the proper
manner, without being noticeable.
On this account, I used silk thread
and ribbons as fastenings, sealing
them securely to protect my mail and
notified the government at Washing
ton.
