tiOn to the Legislature.

NASHVILLE, Sept. THE chairman of the
penitentiary committee OF the Tennessee legis-
lature has received a proposition from the
Tennessee Coal d Iron Company, which will be

Stoekades are to be built for convicts in Marion,
Biedsoe and Sequatchie counties. and able
bodied conyicts are TO be worked in the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company's mines in those
counties, but nowhere else. The lessees are to
pay the state s350,000 for the labor of convicts
during a term of twenty-five or thirty years.
The state is to pay for clothing, feed
ing, transporting and guarding convicts
and give the lessees the site on which the
present prison stand, in this city, the lessces
to give the state 800 acres of land with the new
prison, on which partially disabled convicts
can raise products for their own consumption.

The congress will discuss number OF ques-

prominent among which will be the question as
TO whether eight hours should or should not con-

workmen and their employers liability i'll cases
OF accidents are questions which are looked for

of discussion. The question of municipal work

THE BIG CIRCUS TO-DAY.
Adam Forepaugh Shows Coming in All
Their GLORY.

With spring smiles and blucbirds songs come
the crimson wagons and gilded chariots that
herald the glories within the white walls of the
canvas city. What is unqualifiediy claimed to
be the largest OF these habitations of skilled
men and their accomplis hmentS and the rarest
OF natures achievements in animal life, will
pitch Its tents in this city today.
Its very name and title has often before been
a guarantee of extraordinary magnitude and
merits, and its chiefest claim has always been
that ii never fails 10 perform all promises.
Adam repaugh shows maintain their claims,
and advertise more now than ever before. Its
parade in the forenoon is promised to be some
thing unprecedented III its wealth OF pageantry.
Its route VIII have to he carefully selected so
that none of the towering taoleau cars and char
lots will co lide with the electric wires overhead
in the streets. 1t will be announced in ample
time in all the newspapers.
As an elaborate menu in large hotel is pro-
vided to appease every appetite, so is the pro-
gramme OF a visit to Adam Forepaugh shows
with the important exception of the desire for
peanuts, lemonade, etc, as nothing whatever
can be bought upon the seats or within the great
circus auditorium. This will be welcome news
To those who have been tramped upon by ped
dlers in former years and in other shows. 1t Is
claimed that only one objection can be made to
these shows, and that is that there is yeritable
embarrassment of riches
One can hardly see all of the tremendous col
lcctions of animals and the sixty nine separate
performance upon the circus programme-oue
might as well expect to exhaust the hotel menu.
Everything is said to be OF the highest class,
while the establishment is gilt edged affair
throughout Compulsory neatmess and polite
ness upon the part OF the employees, the actual
reserving of seats by coupon tickets, make these
shows a revolution in the matter OF comfort and
entertainment in tented exhibitions.

scarcely Satisfied With the Progress
Going to New Wesiminster.

James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern
railroad, was seen ut the Rainier hotel last night
after going over this end OF the Seattle & Mon
tana line. He was chatting pleasantly with ID.
ii. Gilman and Judge Burke and the members
oil the party were evidently thoroughly enjoying
the stories of the railroad king.
II am little disappointed at the progress
made on the road, said MIR. Hill. II expected
when came here to be able to go over it entire,
but found that imposs bic. am in the hope,
however, that work will go on rapidly from this
time forth You may say" continued Mr.. Hill,
THAT when completed the road will
have no superior in this section of the
country. You have valuable material but the
difficulty of pulling IL to market makes it neces-
sary that road should SO be built as to be oper
ated cheapy. In other words, We want ton of
coal to DO as much hauling as can possibly be
gotten out OF it. Our road will do that here,
and that is Just what we intended it TO do when
the idea TO build ii was originated.

possibly stop over in Fairhayen. After getting
through AT New Westminster | shall return TO

speedily am able to settle the business that

AMUsEMENTs.
A Croud-d House a, Cordrav..


The Cordray theater had its seating capacity
taxed to the utmost last night. Every available
space was utilized. both in the parQuet aud in
the balconies and gallery. aud the curtain rose
on the first scene In East Lynne" before one
of the most brilliant audiences that has ever
assembled in this popular house. True, the
drama presented has been often witnessed by
many who attended last night, but 1t had
evidently lost none of its welI-known powers
to please, judging from the very generous man
ner in which il was received.
Lady Isabel was portrayed By Miss Isabel Nor
ris with great power aud refined art As the
loving wife, as the passionately jealous woman,
and as the grief-strieken mother whose an xious,
yearning love for the children whom she had
disgraced shone like q star in the black firma-
meHt of her despair. through every phase OF
passion. Miss Morris betrayed no sign OF artific-
ialIty. Miss Morris was recalled at the close OF
the third act Mr. George Vessels bore the
character of sir Francis Levison in manner
becoming his reputation as an accomplished
actor.
Archibald Carlyle and Lord Mount severn
were ably sustained by Messrs. Berry ana III
mer, and the strong eeeentricities OF Cornelia
were admirably represented by Miss Margaret
Marshall Miss Belle Inman, as barbara Hare,
was efficient and pleasing. The powers OF
Mr.. j. j. Williams, the Dill of Mr.. sam Morris,
the Richard Hare of Mr.. J. l.. Lowell, tue
wilson OF Mr.. J. r. Bronson. the Mlchaei pun
OF Mr.. Jean Wiener and the Little Willie OIL TOT
Liska, were all well delineated.
The auditorium has many strong specialties,
and among others those deserving special men,
ton are the acts OF Gleason and Stanley, musi-
cal comedians; the feats of Manning and ORC,
acrobatie mirth makers, and the extraordinary
performances OF Melrose tight rope. The
Cordray entertainment is nrst-class In every
way this week and full houses are predicted.
