Getting Ready for Their Campaign Against
Senator Ingalls,.
TOPEKA, Jan. 5-S. W. Chase, Chairman of
the State Farmers Alliance Legislative Com
mittee, arrived here to-day and took charge of
the Farmers Senatorial campaign. He is in
favor of no one OF the farmers candidates and
will conduct the campaign simply on an anti
Ingalls, basis. He considers the race. however,
to be between John f. Willis, the defeated
farmers candidate for Governor, and Judge
w. A. PETER, editor of the Adroedte, the
Farmers Alliance organ.
Mr. Chase is now arranging Tor q caucus to
nrepare a slate of the offices to be filed by the
lower House, which is in control of his party
The endeavor will also be made to center the
Alliance strength on some one of the candi-
dates for Senator. The Caucus will be held on
the 10Th instant, two days before the conyening
of the Legislature.
Contrary to all precedents in Kansas. the
inauguration of the newly-elected State officers
will be unattended with the usual ceremonies.
There will be no inaugural speeches, no in
aucural ball and no Inaugural festivities of any
kind. The oficers-eiect will assemble in the
office of the Secretary of State on January IL
and simply take their official oaths.

the above house this week than the announce
ment that genuine frontier Indian melodrama
was to be presented, with real Indians and
scouts, the present excitement over the Sioux
outbreak would be sufficient. Hardie and Won

to be a regular gold mine for them.
The drama has often been seen here, and there
is nothing particularly new about 1t or the
company. The Pitrsburg soldiers, however,
are new-quite new in fact-and their evou-
tions are equally as novel: What they lack in
numbers and military knowledge, however,
they more than make up in enthusiasm and
haste to get through the'- portion of the per-
formance.

RUSSIAN absolutism has developed a new

RUSSIAN absolutism has developed new
rule upon stage performances which works a
radical change in the show business. 1t is that
whatever money is taken in advance for admis-
sion to an entertainment is to be held in trust
and if the performance does not come of as
advertised the money is to be returned to the
audience. A Russian manager undertook to
get up some Patti concerts with large sum
subscribed for seats in advance, but the
police took charge of the funds, and as Patti
does not travel to Russia in the winter without
cash in advance, the manager was left. This
rule, if adopted in this country, might place a
severe restriction on some of our enterprising
impressarios

The Fremonts raised the curtain with a very

Weber and Fields were funny Germans, and

The Duquesne Theater.

When Manager Henderson ratified together
the doors of his strong box and bade it farewell
last night. the merry jingle of many pieces of
silver fell on his ear. Pittsburg had dealt lib
orally with him and enjoyed in return the gor-
geous extravaganza, Crystal Slipper" at It's
best. To the people of the Gas City Mr.. Hen
derson is manager in two capacities this week
of the Duquesne Theater and of the COM
pany upon its stage. OF the latter it need only
be said that IL proved to be fully up to the
expectations its reputation inspired. The
staging was perfect, the ballets magnificent, the
scenery unrivaled. Every setting was a work
of art rejecting the greatest credit upon
formation scenes at the close excited a buzz Of
admiration from the big audience and Kept it
seated till the curtain touched the floor. The
ballets called forth round after round of ap-
nianse especially in the fairy stories and
nursery RHYMES. Fri. Clara Quality, in the
latter was the favorlte and large share OF the
honors fell to Miss Madeline Morando.
Miss Louise Montague made pretty prince,
indeed. and her singing brought her at once
into the good graces OF the audience C1nder-
ella, in the hands of Miss Ida Mule, was
cherubic little character artistically portrayed.
OF course, Mr. Foy and Mr.. Norman. in their
side-issues to Yosemite and the Baron, respec-

has improved on the large stock of cleverness

and never fails to utilize the latest crazes to ad

man as an able assistant, was perhaps the
most taking business OF the evening. Mr..
Frankau, as Tdilstoy, the Princes salaried
poet, has pose that never fails to excite the
risibililies of the audience Miss Topsy Venn,
as the Baron's somewhat elderly daughter,
made a very favorable impression. Topical
songs and amusing by-plays are sandwiched in
between the spectacular features with the
most pleasing effect, and Mr.. Foy managed to
be the hero in nearly all of these opportune oc-
casions.
The costumes are rich throughout, and the
mechanical effects of the best. The fan and
prismatic fountain in the third act were greeted
with applause Crystal Slipper" as spectac-
ular delight, will scarcely be exceled until me-

Grand Opera House.

Anyone who likes thrilling melodrama OF the
s'Harbor Lights" order, will fall in love with
Harry Pettitts play, Hands Across the Sea-"
as produced at the Grand Opera House last
evening. This is the first time Pittsburg has had
the opportunity to see Hands Across the Sea-"
That it is a very strong piece no one can deny.
The situations and mechanism are sensational
and ingenious to degree. But the chief
characteristic of the play is its cosmopolitan
ism. The action changes with startling rapid
ity from the green lanes of Devon to the gam
bling hells of Paris, and from the galleys of
La Roquette to the remarkably realistic
scene on the deck of an ocean steamer.
In every case the scenic artists have
shown themselves capable, but especial praise
must be accorded to the fog scene on the
ocean, where the illusion is Increased by the
hoarse sound of whistles and the ringing of
bells so familiar to the crosser of the Atlantic.
The plot is interesting and intensely exclt-
ing George F. Nash, as Jack Dudley, the
stalwart young Clovelly farmer, proves
himself quite equal to the part;
while r. P. Gibbs as the gambler Lus-
sac, gives the public careful character
sketch Miss Grace Thorne plays Lillian Mel
70 much better in the grave than she does in
the lighter part, while Miss Anna Belmont is

"Hands Across the Sea" nrst bounded on the
high tide of success when Messrs. c. B. Jeffer-
son and II. l. Taylor took hold of its manage
ment. 1t is, without doubt one of the very
hest melodramas now on the stage. either in
America or England.
