ment to the Farmers.

Sergeant Barwiclx Gives Encourage
ment to the Farmers.
The Signal Service reports at 5
O'Clock last evening show quite
rise in the barometer, \ with
scarcely, fanny, precipitation during the
day. There was none at Red Bluff, nor
at Eureka, while in Washington and Ore
gon there was from .06 to 90 of an inch.
The barometer was below 80 inches at
Fort Candy, with northwesterly winds
travelling from thirty-eight to forty miles
per hour
The highest and lowest temperature
yesterday was as follows for the places
named: Olympia, 42o and $40; Fort Cam
by, 46o and 500; Portland, 4io and 34o;
Roseburg, 4So and $50; Eureka, $50 and
460; Red Bluff, go and 36o, and Sacra-
mento, go and 40.
The rainfall in this city yesterday
amounted to .0S of an inch, making 4.SS
inches for this season, as against 23.6l
inches to an equal date last year.
The farmers do not appear to be suffer-
ing to any great extent. They are only
frightened at the expectations of dry
season; but those little and light, though
appreciate showers if OF very frequent oc-
currence, will do much more good than if
we have a heavy downpour of three or
four inches in "a or SO hours. No doubt
He who tempers the wind to the shorn

States

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Girard-Donnelly Farce Company
presented the extravagant farce, Natural
Cas-" last night at the Metropolitan The
alter to an audience that filled every seat
in the house. The piece has been very
much improved-that is, it is more crisp,
brisk and mirthful than before, and in
PRODUCES more clever character acting.
Donnelly and Girard are low comedians
of infinite wit" and constitute them
selves comedy by their very appear
ance upon the stage. Both of them had
their Threats so full of San Francisco fog
and cold last night that it was with diff
Guilty only that they could sing; Girard
was especially sorely afflicted, but it
made no difference in their character
acting. Pete Mack is a strong card
for the company, and his Ginger
of negro minstrelsy Geo. Murphey is
vocalist of phenomenal powers. His
register is from a clear tenor to that of
the basso profundo, and he sings with
taste and feeling also. J. w. Meyers in
O Dutch dialect part is one of the best of
that order, the superior in some material
respects to Gus Williams. since he has
the acting quality and essential vivacity.
One of the chorus, slender woman of
fragile build, has voice of great strength
and fiexibility. Annie Malk- Berlein, as
Kitty Malone. is an artist-that is to say
she has true dramatic quality. Hers was
the superior part in the piece, because she
made it such. The woman who can so
identify herself with character as she
did, ought to be up and prominent on a
higher level. 1t was finished comedy
work in farce that is the absurdest of
the absurdities-the mere jingle and
rattle of meaningless plot. 1t
is saved by. capital character personation
by five of the company, and the musical
nj, .,f
laughed and applauded from the begin
ming to the end of the play. How very
little play" there needs to be in these
days to please, if only there is plenty of
mimicry and rough-hewn satire.
Natural Gas" viii be given for the last
time tonight.
Mile Price-Dow was announced as
with the Donnelly- Girard company, and
draw and has been filling leading
part. Her name appeared on the pro-
gramme, but she did not appear upon the
stage-her dancing was not there. Per-
haps it mattered very little, but managers
owe it to the public to announce changes.
1t used to be the rule. If it was known
that the Price-Dow actress was not to
play, her name should not have appeared
upon the programme. In earlier days
company managers were very particular
in these matters and careful to practice
no deceits upon patrons. If illness or
broken contract compelled change, they
duly notified the people, even from the
stage, if necessary. In these days the
idea seems to be to get them into the
house, and then stage piece in violation
of the bill and without the politeness of
an apology for notifications. In the
East, in some theaters, the old rule is
still adhered to. 1t is agood one, because
it is fair and decent, while the reverse of
it is neither.
There will be an entertainment at the
Calvary Baptist Church this evening for
the benefit of home and foreign missions.
There will be music, Rotations and stere-
opticon views.

Special to the REconp-UNIoN.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Chairman Hill
of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, re-
ported to the House the following substi-
tute resolution for that offered by Cum
mings of New York expressing SYM
pathy with the Jews in Russia:
ReSoieed, That the members of the House of
Representatives of the United States have
heard with profound sorrow the reports OF the
sufferings OF the Jews in Russia, and the sor-
row is intensined by the fact that such occur
rences should happen in country which Is
and long has been a friend of the United
people from serfdom, and which defended
helpless Christians in the East from persecu-
ton for their religion, and we earnestly hope
SO strikingly shown by his Imperial Majesty,
will now be manifested in checking and miti-
eating the severe measures directed against
the Jewish religion.

Another Burglary.

The police were notified last night that
a burglar had entered Mrs. Chapman's
clearinghouse at All! X street. He en-
tered the room of one of the dodgers and
took watch and chain from beneath the
sleeper's pillow. He probably would
have succeeded in getting away with
more yaluables had not Mrs. Chapman's
daughter heard him and given the alarm,
when the burglar fled

PAUNCEFoTE INDIGNANT.
He Denies the Interview Published in
London.

London.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British Minister to Wash
ington, was last evening shown London
dispatch regarding the Pal Mall Ga
zette's criticism of him for having talked
in regard to the Supreme Court decision,
an interview purporting to come from
him having been cabled to the London
Times. Sir Julian was greatly surprised,
and declared he had had no interview
With any one on the subject of the de-
cision.
This morning the Dunlap-Dalziel News
Agency says: The denial of Minister
Pauncefote to the interview had with him
by u reporter of this agency and cabled to
the London Times yesterday is ground
less. Sir Julian Pauncefote was met in
street-car, coming from the Capitol, by
the agency's special correspondent in
Washington, and to him the British Min
lister made the remarks concerning the
Behring Sea case, word for word, as
cabled TO the Times, in which Sir Julian is
quoted as saying:
Il believed from the first the court had
jurisdiction. That opinion has been re-
lnforced by conversations with members
of Congress who are regarded as authori-
ties on the question of international law
do not regard the appeal to the Supreme
Court as an international affront to the
executive branch OF the Government. but
simply as desire on the part Of the own
ers of the schooner Sayward to have this
case disposed of with as little delay as
possible. The fishing season is near at
hand and the fishermen are anxious to
follow their vocation in a lawful and or
derry manner. Englishmen respect the
law of every nation and are willing to go
before such an august tribunal as the
Supreme Court on the merits of the pend
ing case"
THE INTERVIEW DENIED.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-An agent of the
Associated Press called upon Sir Julian
Pauncetote, the British Minister, this
afternoon and called his attention to the
fact that Dalzell's News Agency had is
sued statement reasserting the anthem
ITCHY of the alleged interview which the
Minister cabled to the Times.
Sir Julian made statement in writing
absolutely denying having used any Of
the language attributed to him. A few
days ago, he said, man accosted him in
public car and informed him of the de-
cision of the Supreme Court in the Say
ward case. They exchanged, says Sir
Julian, a few remarks about the agitation
which the case has excited, and which the
Minister said he was glad to think had
subsidized. This was absolutely all.

KINCAID ON THE STAND.
He Graphically Describes the killing o.
Tanlhaa

He Graphically Describes the killing Of
Taulbeo.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The defend.
ant in the Kincaid murder trial was put
upon the stand to-day. He testified as
to the poor state OF his health for some
years before the shooting; to the re.
peated insults heaped upon him and as.
saults made upon him by Taulbee, and
to the threats made against his life by
the deceased. The alteration which had
shortly preceded the shooting was
graphically described, the witness testi.
lying that Taulbee had called him a.
little coward and monkey, and told him
to arm himself. He had fred the shot
because he believed 1t was Taulbee's life
or his.
Mr.. Kincaid further testified that
Taulbee's personal relations with him
for two or three years, were very bitter.
Taulbee never neglected an opportunity
when be could, to assault witness and to
follow him up. Taulbee, whenever he
met him, used to push him roughly; on
one occasion he threw him across q
corridor; at another time he crushed
witness' foot between his heel In the
elevator.
On the day the silcott deialcation be.
came known, witness went to the Ser.
geant.at- Arms's room for some informa.
ton. Taulbee sprang out from behind
an iron grating and forced witness into
an angle, and said, putting his hand into
his right hand pocket, "E ought 70 cut
your d. throat" or"I will cut it.n
On the day OF the shooting, Taulbee
seiEed him by the shoulder, used him
roughly and wrenched his ear, and ap.
piled the most offensive language to
him; pushing him away TSulbee told
him to 90 and arm himself. This he
Missed In his ear.
Afterwards he saw Taulbee on the
steps. "As soon as we recognized each
other" said Mr.. Kincaid, "Taulhee came
toward me with his right hand in his
pocket. ] said 'You are going to kill
me, are youY AT tho same time the
other man wheeled and interrupted
Taulbee for q moment; Taulbee came
on; / retreated 10 the platform and said,
Stand back, stand back, drawing my
revolver; as he came on the upper step
l fred; Taulbee walked down the steps,
and At the bottom began TO sink little,
An officer came out and asked, who
did this?' or, who shot this manf and
said 4 did it,"
"Why did you FIRE that shot2" asked
Attorney Wilson.
"Becluse," said Kincaid, ~ believed
It was bis life or mine. l could not be
too quick. His hand was in his pocket,
He came at me with rush."
Upon cross.examination, Mr.. Kincaid's
testimony was unshaken.
