PREPARING TO REBUILD.
Difficulties Which Beset the Bi
lou Management.

Yesterday the employees of the Bijou
were busy clearing out stOrerooms in
the ruined theater and removing such
property as the flames had left unde-
stroyed. There is a good deal of the
theater that will come out of the ruins
unharmed, but how much will not be
known until all the debris has been
cleared away. The rebuilding of the
house will not begin until the insur-
ance has been adjusted, which will re-
quire few days yet. Jacob Lift, the
lessee, will reach here to-day, when all
details will be perfected.
Yesterday small portion Of the front
wall of the theater, the only part in
jured by fire. was taken down. 1t had
other walls are safe. They will not be
taken down, but will be strengthened
in the rebuilding. The south wall of
the theater, the one next Ronner's liv-
ery stable, will be continued to the
street and put up to the full height.
The front wall will be entirely rebuilt.
and the whole of the front OF the
theater, the part over the entrance and
the box office, will be remodeled. The
stage and rear walls of the theater are
all right There may be some trouble
with the local building ordinance When
the time comes for the erection of the
new building. Under the present Or
dinance it is almost an impossibility to
build theater. The ordinance requires
that the boiler rooms be built apart
from the main building. Building In
SpectOr HaZen, however, says he thinks
the matter can be arranged. He thinks
if good, solid fre-proof brick walls
are put around the boiler rooms
there should be no trouble. Nor should
the present fire be attributed to the
boilers. The fire started in part OF
the building where there was no fire.
There is some question about the
Bijou management being able to con-
tinue its season at the Lyceum until
the new Bijou shall arise from it's
ashes. Manager Conklin, as is well
known, is constitutionally opposed to
Sunday theatrical performances. On
this subject he is in thorough accord
with DR.. Burrell. He insists that it
was only out of the goodness of his
heart that he allowed "The Great Me
tropolis" to open at the Lyceum last
Sunday night. AS for continuing this
iniquity or countenancing such desecra-
ton of the holy Sabbath, perish the
thought! No, no. 'Twould never do.
So it is extremely probable that the
Lift big Four' circuit will be reduced
to three, for at least couple of months.

THE SEALER ADELE.
Public Opinion in British COlum
bia Against Her.

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec, 29.-The latest
advices received at the customs depart
ment with reference to the seizure of
the German schooner Adele are to the
effect that public opinion in British
Columbia desired the poacher's catch to
be confiScated as contraband. United
States Consul Myers was of the opinion
that this could be done, and wired to
Washington for instructions. Collector
Milne and the agents of the schooner
here also sought information. The ad-
vice they received was that the Adele's
pOaching is, in the eyes of the law, no
more Of an OffenSe than would be COM
mltted if her captain OF crew killed a
deer in the state Of Washington during
the close season and took the carcass to
Victoria. Such a misdemeanor is not
covered by any eXtraditiOn treaty and
cannot be taken by Canadian officials.
The Adele will winter at Victoria,
going Oh the ways very shortly for a
general overhauling. The catch has
been taken charge of by A. B. Gray &
Co., agents Of the owners. The crew
has been paid off, but, in anticipation
eff any complications, Collector Milne
has decided to take the affidavits of the
men. Their testimony goes to show
that the vessel clearly got the skins at
the seal rookery at st. PauPs island. 1t
is reported that the vessels depred a.
tiOns may lead the United States author
tiles here to formally call the attention
of the United States government to the
matter

murrer was withdrawn and the case

A CAUSE CELEBRE.
The Killing of Matthews Said to
Be Political Murder.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-The killing
of John Prentice Matthews, the post
master at Carrollton, Miss, by young
Mcbride will, probably, turn out to be a
cause celebre. Matthews was shot
down on the street by Mcbride. j. Nj.
Matthews, of Mississippi, who was the
Republican candidate for congress
against Gen. Hooker at the last election,
and who is also brother of the dead
man, has just received the following
telegram from CarrolltOn:
John was murdered by Il mob He had
been notified by dozen men that mob was
going TO kill him that day. He saw the men
did this the sheriff arrested him and placed
him under bonds. John pointed three men
out to the sheriff and asked him to arrest
them and protect his life. The sheriff re-
fused. 1t was plot, and all were in IL.
John told Lloyd "a young man working for
him) he thought they would kill him before
night. He stayed at the postoffice until his
second dinner bell rang, when he said he
would go to dinner. They begged him not TO
go, but he said he would. When ne reached
the hotel steps, Mcbride who was still in his
drug store, shot him down with q shotgun,
killing him instantly. Not satisfied with this.
Mcbride fired five shots at him from re-
volver after he was dead. The mob then be-
gan dancing and shouting around the body
with the most vile abuse and curses. John
mad received several anonymous letters tell
ing him he must leave the town. The mur
derer goes free. and all because they must
have the postotiice at Carrolton.''
MY BROTHER" said Mr.. Matthews. was
only twenty-one years old. He was bright,
intelligent boy. lie was appointed postmas-
ter several months ago at Carroilton. and
while there have been a number of threats at
his life, did not think anything would come
of it. He was the first Republican pastmas-
ter to take the Carrollton Office for many
years, and it was freely SAID that no Repub-
Hcan should hold the Office"

A bottle of champagne was opened
last night at the Pence. and the spark

Elephants in the several excellent
specialties on the stage. The actors
were generous and distributed their en-
thusiasm throughout the audience with
out STINT. The RentZ-Santley combina-
ton this season is made up of number
OF handsome women and a clever COM
edian or two. The costuming is apprO-
pirate and gorgeous and the stage
setting was in entire accord with the
nature of the entertainment.
During the evening Nellie Wilson, by
her very clever and artistic work, es-
tablished herself as a favorite with the
audience, and her character changes
and dances were neatly and salts
factoriiy done. Miss Wilson is an ac-
compliShed vaudeville artist. The per
formance as whole may be character
lied as good one, and worthy the con-
tinued patronage of the friends OF the

sTANLEY's LECTURE.
1t Dealt More With Emin Than
With the March.

Mr.. Stanley's lecture was not marked
by dwelling upon his hardships and
privations, but by the absence of those
details. He paid more attention to Emin
Pasha, and Emin's treatment of him.
Not a word was uttered in reference to
that sad tale of the rear column of Bart
telot or of jameson. 1t was evident that
Stanley had conceived a tremendous
aversion to the man whose relief was
effected at the cost of so much blood and
treasure, and is determined that the
American public shall share his i'll
opinion. To draw a background on
which the unTavorable cOlOrS in which
pear more luminous, he told how in
1856, when he was appointed to COM
mand the relief expedition, he got
Emin'S letters and reports and studied
them carefully. From these he pictured
a great hero, second Gordon. He had
been constantly imploring the English
government to save him, and when the
relief party staI ted the stimulus was
perpetually before them; hurry up, it
may be too late.
In the beginning he rapidly related
the first Incidents of the relief tour. He
| left London in January, 1857, and got to
Zanzibar the following month. On
| February 25, the company, containing
| 797 people, only nine of whom were
white, left in steamer to go around the
Cape of Good Hope for the mouth of
the Congo river. His officers were
Barttelot, Stairs and Nelson; the two
young EngliShmen, Jameson and Jep-
son, who had paid $1,000 each to go along,
and Bonney, the surgeon. Lieut.. Troup
had already been sent up the Congo, and
Herbert Ward joined them afterward
| Tippo Tib. the Arab slave-trader, went

| ing furnished transportation and board

| provide carriers when the company
| should get to the interior. On March
Is the start up the Congo was made, and
| in month arrived at Yambuya, 400
miles inland. This was the scene of the
deplorable misfortunes which befell the

| 1t was G22 miles from this point to
Lake Albert, and Stanley, with $50 men,

the great African forest. Day after day
| they plunged on through the gloom and
mystery of the forest The effect upon
the simple savages who composed his
| party was terrible. They travelled thir-
ty-siX days, and found that they had
only advanced 170 miles. The Afri.
cans possessed legend that some
where there was a vast and almost
impenetrable forest, at the further end
of which an enormous serpent lay
coiled. and they believed that they had
entered that terrible labyrinth. The

DISGUST IN THE b. Of
For Once the Earth Is Left Entire
IY to Herself

The members of the board of trade,
when they met yesterday morning,
seemed disgusted with the world. The
courts had interfered with the boards
plans for running the universe, and
they were of the opinion that the pesky
old earth should be allowed to run her
own affairs. So they did nothing but
discuss the coming election of directors.
An hour was spent in debating on re-
port, which proposed the mailing quar-
terly of an invitation to all members of
the board, whether directors or not, to
attend the quarterly meeting, and
which provided that the secretary
should mail to all members a
week in advance Of the cleo
ton the list of fifty directors, and in ad-
dition the names of fifty other members,
the recipient to return the list with fifty
names checked as his choice for direct
ors. w. E. Steele was the author of the
resolutions. A rambling discussion was
iudulged in, Mr.. Steele contesting for
the change on the ground that it would
awaken interest among the members.
The debate finally closed with the
adoption of simple motion that the
secretary mail to each member at once
complete list of members, with the
present board Of directors and the nom-
nations recommended by the nomi-
mating committee for the ensuing year,
which E. j. Phelps presented. The COM

FRENCH WILL QUIT.
Reporters Are Not the Only Ones
Who misunderstood Minister'S.

The Methodist ministers yesterday
morning were given taste of their own
medicine. 1t was but small taste, but
they disiiked it as if it were bigger and
made wry faces over it. Several of the
ministers have of late been complain :
Ing because reporters are not mind
readers and are sometimes unable to
free minister's thought from all the
contradictory, misleading verbiage with
which he has weighted it in his sermon.
At their meeting yesterday morning
Rev. Mr.. Haley read paper on the
Development of Religious Life in the
Apostolic Age" Then the ministers,
among them DR.. French, discussed the
paper very learnedly. most of them ad-
vancing the opinion that the present,
not the apostolic, is the golden age of
the church. When they had finished
they were quietly informed by Mr..
Haley that they had evidently misun-
derstood the paper, and were arguing
Oh train of thought not touched upon
by him. They subsidized.
Before the reading of this paper there
was general exchange of helpful
thoughts and a statement of the spirit
ual condition of the various churches,
which prompted the question from DR..
Tiffany, "Do old-fashioned conversions
occur in the union meetlngs?" with the
query from another as to ''What is con-
versiOn?" TO which Rev. G. NJ. Heard
replied: Conversion is turning of
man to God, and constitutes a change in

The Alliance May, However, Drop
Third Party Talk.


Third Party Talk.
TOPEKA, Kan. Dec. 29.-The follow
in g interview with President Frank
McGratl, published to-day would indi-
cate that the Alliance has for the pres
ent decided to drop the third party
movement. He says:
THE agitation in the South over the Lodge
bill precludes the possibility OF any inde-
pendent movement at this time. While in
Ocala investigated the conditions thorough
ly as my limited stay would permit. aud
came to the conclusion that more time was
needed. 1t will all come about in time but
the time is not this year."
The delegation Of Kansas editors
which has returned from tour through
the South, having made thorough in
veStigatiOn of the farmers movement
there, found that large majority of the
Southern farmers believe in working
for their reforms within the Democratic
party. In Louisiana, for example, the
editors found few, if any, advocates of
the third party movement. The presi-
dent of the Alliance in that state. Thom-
as s. Adams, secretary OF the board of
agriculture, in a conversation with
correspondent who accompanied the
Kansas delegation, said:
1.-THE political conditions in this state pre-
clude the possibility of an Independent po-
Htical movement at this time. With us it is
a battle for white supremacy, and any move
ment which will divide the white people po-
liucally will not find favor
The editors found that Mr.. Adams
expressed the sentiment pretty gener-
ally held by the Southerners, and for
this reason they also concluded that it
would be impossible to do anything
with the new movement at the present
time. The party in Kansas, however,
is as determined as ever in its fight on

BURGLARS AT MINNETONKA.
Several Cottages on Big Island
Broken Into.

Several Cottages on Big Island
Broken Into.
Burglars have been getting familiar
with the property of Lake Minnetonka
cottagers. About dozen of the houses
on Big Island have been entered within
a week or so. and good deal of prop
erty lugged off. The victims are L. r.
Brooks. of the Brooks-Griffith Grain
company; Z. F. Haglin, the stone con-
tractor; o. p. Carter and c. F. Wheeler,
of the chamber of commerce.; George
Morse and c, T. Fairfield, of 5. c. Gale
81 Co. In some instances floors and win
dows have been smashed III, and good
deal of general damage committed.
Some of the houses were entered
through the cellars, but Mr.. Carter's
cottage was entered by means
of a ladder which had been
placed up to the porch just off the sec
Ond story. Tie time chosen for the op-
erations was at night, fact shown by
the candle grease so plentifully scat
tered about. AT least two, and possibly
more, formed the party of burglars. and
the island was reached by crossing over
on the ice, The pillagels had it all their
own way, there being no watchman on
Big Island. Of course there will be one
hencef0rth.
