was virtually suspended and everybody,

The William j. Gilmore Opera company,
who will appear for the first time in

evenings at Ming's opera house, comes to
us, with out few EXCEPTIONS an unanimous
verdict of the New York critics concerning
the magnificent new opera conique, "The
Sea KING" which during the past summer
in New York. despite the heat. succeeded in
crowding Palmer'a theater for quite an ex-
tended season. THE Sea King is the sec
ond and latest opera from the pen of that
rapidly rising native composer, Richard
Stahl, whose carrier work. namely, "Said
Pasha," is probably we'll remembered, and
would have proved more successful than it
lam j. Gilmsre and given the princely pro-
duction as he has done with "The Sea
King" which is a romantic opera comiuue,
the scene of which is laid in Spain, the
period of action being the latter part of the
thirteenth century. There is thus afforded
a splendid opportunity for handsome cos
tuning and beautiful pictorial effects. The
story is said to be romantic, with much of
legendary charm and with an undercurrent
of refined and exquisite humor. The music
is considered strikingly original and emit
tied to the highest rank among modern
compositions. 1t is said to be melodious
though not of the sort that may be termed
catchy, but is a concourse of sweet sounds
that will delight the ear and haunt the
memory.

is beginning to grow interesting. The

Ing OF the democratic primaries on Thurs
day. An unlocked for movement devel-
oped itself on that day when THE labor
element endeavored to gain control of the
convention by electing delegates in SYM
pathy with the labor organizations of the
city. They claim that heretofore the labor
ing men have been ignored by both parties,
and this time they propose to have voice
In nominating the men for whom they are
asked to vote. Their work was done so
secretly that the first intimation aspirants
for office had of their intention was the
appearance of their tickets at the polls.
Owing to this fact they captured the First,
Third and Seventh wards, no ticket being
in the field against them. In the Sixth
ward the delegation is divided, while the
regular democratic ticket carried the day
in the Second, Fourth and Fifth wards.
This leaves the convention about tie be-
tween the two factions, and nobody's can
didate is sure of nomination. though both
sides claim majority of the delegates.
The republican primaries were held
to-day, and there was not enough
interest taken in the event to tell
that aanything unusual was going on.
TherA was but one ticket in the field in any
OF thA wards, and very few republicans

when time was called tonight the list
showed only twenty-five republican names.
The outlook for the G.. o. P. in Butte is
very discouraging, and after the thirteenth
of April there will be nothing heard of the
organization for long. long time.
The school election awakened great deal
more enthusiasm than the republican pri-
maries. All day long there was crowd
around the polling place, and when the polls
closed at six o'clock over 2,300 votes had
been cast OF these about 1,5OO were cast

the election gassed off very quietly and
there was no hard feeling manifested ON

scarcely half this number went to tho cen-

No Danger of an Outbreak in the Presence
Of the Troops.
MOUNT PLEASANT, Pa, April 4..--The sit
uation in the coke region is not materially
changed. The feeling prevails that so long
as the militia remains there will be no
more lawlessness. It is feared that unless
the strike is settled before they are called
home, the depredations will be renewed as
soon as their backs are turned. The feel
ing among the strikers is intensely bitter,
but they are careful to commit no overt aot
and content themselves with scowl:ng at
the militia and murmuring in unintellipible
tongues.
The coke company is not making any eff
fort to get men to fill the places OF the
strikers. A peculiar feature of the situa-
tion is that, although the the men have
been out of work for over a month they
still seem to have considerable money, and
from outward appearances are not suffering
for anything. In the Mount Pleasant bank
there is a large list of depositors whose saw
ings range from $50 to $1,000. OF this
money very little has been withdrawn.
How these people live without drawing
money is difficult for Americans to under
stand. To those who have no money the
labor organizations furnish small sums.
The strike is likely to continue indefinitely.
