CONSUL COMFY.

The Representative of Mexico Takes Is
sue with MI. j. K. Rohone.
A. K. Coney Consul General of Mexico,
being interviewed as to the statements of
J. r. Rohone, as published yesterday.
said that for an exhibition Of ignorance Of
Mexican history. political and otherwise,
Mr.. Rohone's statements stand unrivaled,
as none OF them are founded ON fact Mr.
Coney rejected Indignantly the libelous as
persion cast by Mr.. Rohone upon the Mexi-
can army and its officers, and preferred to
nave them judged. as they have been, by
such men as Generals Grant, Sherman,
She r1dan, Miles and other famous American
military men, who have been unanimous in
praising the officers and soldiers of Mexico.
Furthermore, Mr.. Coney stamps as in
correct the statement that General Diaz
made up his army of bandits, or made any
such propositions as Mr.. RohOne says he
did make. Neither is General Diaz an
Indian as stated; nor is there any uTf4
rest throughout Mexico. On the con-
trary the kilograms show that the few
bandits that are under the leadership
Of the notorious Cara and Buzz Sand0yal
are fleeing toward the American border.
which does not show that there is any
evidence that they are being ustained by
any party in Mexico. In point of fact

CiSC"lCif luuoS nave SUING iCdSOh VI plih-
ciple to be founded upon, and the offer OF
mere pillage, as in this case of CARA, can

ton.
Mr. Rohone is also mistaken in his de-
seriptiOn of the movement of troops which
yearly takes place upon the celebration of
the national holiday on the 10th of Septem-
Der in all the large towns. Mr.. Coney
claimed that Mexico was never more pros
porous nor more peacefully inclined than
now, and that General Diaz is universally
respected and liked by every class of soei-
ETY., both on account of his able and wise
administration of public affairs and OF the
purity of MS private life.

What the Amateurs Did With the
Comedy Last Evening.

There was a large assemblage of the Eng
lish colony at the BijOu Theater to enjoy
and criticize the amateur performance of
Tom Robertson's comedy. Il was given for
the benedt Of the British Benevolent Charity
Fund, and we are pleased to learn that sew
eral hundred dollars will be turned over to
the society as the result Of the enterprise.
Considering the nicely of the play and the
peculiar talent necessary for its proper
presentation. it was a bold undertaking for
the young gentlemen ana ladies who ven
turcd on it. Nevertheless IL must be con-
fessed that, generally speaking, they ac-
quilted themselves very well. As George
DAlroy, who set caste at defiance in follow
Ing the bent Of his love for Esther
Eccles, Mr.. W. J. Lonergan made most
effective rendering of his part, anu as Es-
ther, Miss Ida Kruger, the girl VINO earned
her living as a ballet dancer, showed nice
easy lady-like manner III private life that
warranted George D'ArOy's taste and iudg-
tom, Sam GeTrldge (Mr. Cyril Young, her
affianced, and old Eccles (Mr. ii. G.
Hockey, the father of the girls, are the
antitheses OF the swell element in the cast.

business that the comedy went through
without hitch from beginning to end. OF
Mr.. HOckey's Eccles, the drunken father,
who, advocating the necessity of labor, is
always in liquor ana never at work. has not
struck a lick for twenty years" as Sam
Gerridge satircally remarks, there can
only be words of commentator.
The part-a most RrduOus one for
an amateur-was played with all
the skill and finish of an old professional,
and would justify this young gentleman
seeking wider recognition Tor his mimic
talent on the regular stage. The only de-
feet TO be found was in his makeup, but
this is one that can be easily cured. He af-
fected the peculiar shabbiness of Daniel
Qullp as we find him portrayed in illustra-
tions OF the "0id Curiosity Shop" rather
than the typical threadbare word-Of-mouth
English workman; but, generally speaking,
the character was well conceived and well
executed. Cyril Youug's Sam Gerridge, the
jolly young plumber and gas-ftter, was
cleverly played, and he dropped his
''aitches" like a true son of COckalgne. The
orchestra, under the direction of Mr.. II. j.
Stewart, was quite feature of the evening,
only the mastery overture to Vincent Wal
laCe's Mauritania" was measurably marred

originally cost. The Oakland company
wants an exclusive franchise to operate an
incandescent plant, and if it is granted for
the term of fifty years will agree to furnish
the present number Of arc lights for street
lighting for $500 per month. W. M. Men
ton has made still more liberal offer. He
is willing to undertake TO furnish ninety
three arc lights, the number now supplied
by the municipal plant for $3.50 per mouth,
provided he has an exclusive franchise for
electric lighting and motor power in Ala
media. 1t is the opinion of large number
OF taxpayers that the municipal plant is not
good investment and will always be big
drain on the city treasury.
