THEATRICAL NEWS.

THE English Comedy Company appeared
last night in the comedietta "Which?" and
Married Life" Buckstone.s comedy. The
former piece is very light and tame anyhow,
and it cannot be said that anybody but Mr..
Clarke put much life into it. Miss Lackey
and Miss Ford looked charming, that was
ALL In the comedy things were better all
round Mr.. Clarke as the weak minded
footman with the strong-minded wife was
broadly funny. Mr.. McClannin was delight
full as the asthmatic old man With q con-
slant dread of draughts. Miss Adella Saw
YER as Mrs Ceddte was a vfvacious and absurd
foil to Mr.. McClannin. The other couples
illustrating the joys of welded life were
well mated for farcical effects. Miss Ford
seemed more at ease in the role of Mrs. Llfnz
than any she has attempted, and played the
Jealous wife with good deal of earnestness.
Miss Lackey, who is a debutante and a
remarkably pretty girl. with charming
manners, made all that could we'll be made
of q small part. Mr.. Hale was easy and
debonair enough as Mr. Lgj7lx. The audi
enoe, owing doubtless to the Exposition
opening, numbered but score or two, and
this had a chilling effect upon the players.

special charm of which will be intensified
by the fact that their movements will be
directed by an equal number of singing
birds. These birds are not feathcred beau
ties of the forest, but their counterfeits
mechanically devised by an inventive
Frenchman. They are made to sing at will
by the dancer, SO that for the nonce the
usual orchestral accompaniment will be dis
pensed with. The sale OF seats begins to-

NEW COKE REGIONS.
They Will Come In Contact With the Trade
of Connellsville.

They VIII Come in Contact With the Trade
of Connellsville.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-The Burlington and
Quincy Railroad intends to extend its lines
to Helena and Butte City, Mont, and the
matter which has brought this determine
tion about is coke. The smelters at Omaha,
Denver, Pueblo, Argentine and Deadwood
use vast quantities of coke, which has come
from Connellsville. Pa, or Glenwood Springs,
Col. A year ago branch was built to Mer-
ino, and at Cambria on this line coke in
dustry has been started.
The coal from which this coke is made is
of an extraordinary quality compared with
other coal heretofore found west of Penn
sylvania, and is by many experts considered
to be superior to the same class of Pennsyl-
yania coal. Coke made from this coal was
submitted to the Deadwood smelter to test,
and the managers of that institution have
announced that it works even better than
the Connellsville product. 1t will be used in
Deadwood from now on.
With an assured monopoly of the coke
trade to Montana the Burlington figures that
the new line will pay from the start The
coke going West would control the bulk of
the ore product coming East.

o,Jp RrIATIoNs WITH CHILE.

The re.establishment of order and civil
government according to constitutional
lines will keep the victorious party in
Chile so busy that foreign relations will be
a secondary consideration with them for
some time. The United States therefore
need use no pEeeipitate haste in recalling
Minister Egan. But it is plain that he
must be recalled as soon as possible The
interests of this country in Chile are i'm
portant enough-their promotion being
strong point in Secretary
Blaine's policy toward South Ameri-
CATO demand the services of a
Minister there who shall be on the best Of
terms with the Chilean Government and
people. This Mr.. Egan unfortunately
cannot he. His sympathy with Balmaceda
was so outspoken, and his partisanship so
patent, that his position must now be as
uncomfortable as his representation OF the
United States is proftbess. His recall is
inevitable.
Thare is hazy idea current in some
quarters that the United States may get
into trouble with the new Chilean Govern
ment over the seizure of the Itata. Such
fears are groundlesS. The seizure OF the
Itata was in accordance with international
law, and under the same law the Itata
will now be surrendered TO Chile. The
matter will end here. That the insur-
gents are now the Government does not
alter the justice of the seizure of ship
fitting out in our ports in hostility to a
friendly power with whom the United
States was at peace. Mistakes have been
made in the treatment of the Chilean
question by the administration, but this is
not one of them. With ordinary saga city
kindly relations between this country and
Chile can be easily resumed.

THEY'LL MAKE GOOD CITIZENS.

The Slavs made brave show in parade
yesterday, but a better feature of it than
fine bands or handsome uniforms was
the prominence given to the Stars and
Stripes. The American flag was every
where in the ranks of the marching men.
Sometimes the Slavs have not shown as
keen sympathy with American ideas and
institutions as might be, but the National
Slavonic Society, whose celebration the
city witnessed yesterday, is going the right
way to correct this 1t goes further than
the symbolic respect evinced by their
flags, for in the society's constitution is
proviso that every member must become
citizen of the United States within six
years.
The well-built, neat and intelligent
looking men who marched with music
through the streets yesterday are credit
to any nation, and they cannot do better
than to merge their identity in the freest
and happiest people on earth.

FINANCIAL TROUBLES OF THE FAIR.

Way for Another Appropriation.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-The National Board Of
Commissioners of the Worlds Fair and the

in this city tomorrow. One OF the matters
to come before the Commission will be the
question of how to avoid deficit in Its ap-
preparation for the year of about $23, 900. It
is probable that this will be accomplished
by cutting down salaries. President Palmer
has already agreed to give up his 5000 SAL
ary, and Director General Davis submits
voluntarily to cut of $3 900 in his, and $l2, 900
is to be saved by dispensing with the April
meeting.
The Finance Committee has considered
with favor proposition to ask Congress to
make the Fair management loan of 50, ,00O,- :
600, taking mortgage on the receipts for its
repayment but It has not been decided
upon. In any event, as the Government
has provided for the giving of medals and
jury of award, it is understood that Con-
gress will be asked to appropriate enough
money to pay for the medals and the ex-
penses of the juries of faward-between $780,
600 and 100000.

A SWISS EXPERIMENT.

An innovation in railway travelling, 30 far

line of railway which would connect it with
the Jura-Simplon system at Yverdon, situ-
ated on the plain.
Several plans were prepared, but before
anything definite had been settled @ wealthy
philanthropist named William Barbey
offered to make the line at his own expense
and without any subsidy, upon the one con-
dition that, for-a period of % years traffic
should be entirely suspended on Sundays
that is to say between midnight Saturday
and midnight Sunday. The proposal was
accepted, and W. Barley, though a few
friends have Joined him In the enterprise,
is furnishing the capital required, this being

mile, the length of the line being not quite
10 miles. The railway will, it is anticipated,
be open for traffic the year after next.
