shenandoah" is crowding the Grand
at every performance. This play con-
talnS more to interest and amusa the
patriotic public than any ether drama.
The piece runs all the week, with Sat
urday matinee
The sale of seats for the Thomas con-
cert at the Lyceum is very large, and
all those who are averse to standing
should secure seats at once.
W. S. CleYeland's Consolidated Min
Etreis will fill the first part of next
week at the Grand. The company this
year said TO be the best that Mr..
Cleveland ever controlled, and contains
an array of names which is sufficient to
bear out the statement New comedi-
ans and several novelties in the Way of
European acrobats and aerialists will
add materially to the excellence of the
programme which Manager Cleveland
always presents.
The return of mild weather brought
out the matinee patrons in good shape,
and the Bijou was largely attended. The
evening performance also drew a fair
sized audience. After Dark presents

EMERGENCY RATES.
such Were the Outs That Mr..
~ Gould Kicks On.


CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-An official of the
AtchisOn ROAD said this afternoon that
the charges of rate cutting made against
that road were built on a very flimsy
foundation, and if Mr.. Gould expected
the dismissal of any officer of the COM
pany he would probably be disap-
pointed.
The charges" said he, care based on
the TACT that nine months ago all emer-
gency rate on sugar was established by
agreement of three transcoDtinental
lines. The men who agreed to the
tariff were Gay, of the Southern
Pacific; Bissell of the Atchison,
, and Mellen, of the Northern Pacific.
10 be sure, they did not obtain the au-
tnorlty of the commissioners to make
Tie rate, but it was Il matter in which
none of the other roads was interested,
and no objection was raised. But it
seems that the Northern Pacific failed
TO get any of the sugar. The Southern
racine and the Atchison got it all, and
now they are accused of violating the
Western Traffic associations agreement
IN making the rate without proper au-
thOrlty.
The case is not similar to that of the
Missouri Pacific. when led to the dis
Charge of Traffic Manager Leeds.
Technically. perhaps. we violated the
agreement, but nobody was harmed, or
could be harmed, by our action. l see
areport going around that Vice Presi
dent Springer is the man who will be
sacrificed in this case. That is the
sheereSt nonsense. Mr.. Springer has
nothing to do with traffic affairs. and if

RUSSIAN CRUELTY.
An Escaped Prisoner Tells q Fear
full Tale.


PORT TOWNSEND. WASH, Jan. 90
Charles Wilson, mate of the sealing
schooner George r. White, tells tale
of fearful suffering. For the past three
years this schooner has been sealing off
the coast of Alaska and Siberia. On a
trip in the spring of 1890 the schooner
got into Russian waters and barely eS-
capped arrest. Another American sealer
was captured by the Russians, says
Wilson, and the crew were compelled
TO work In the coal mines. Two of the
Americans incurred the dISpIeasure of
the officials because of disposition to
shirk work. They were chained to-
gether with iron bands around their
waists and large iron ball at the end
of the chain.
One nan was very large and the other
below the medium height. They were
kept under ground, and had to dig
certain amount of coal each day or no
food would be sent down to them. The
supply got short, and the big man ate
his companions food for five days. The
small man became frantic with anger
and murdered the greedy prisoner weile
ne slept. He called to the guard at the
mouth of the shaft, told him he had
killed his companion and asked TO be
loosened from the dead man. The
guard refused. In desperation the small
man took coal shovel and cut the dead
IN two and loOSened the band from his
waist. Neither was seen again. The
sllppOsition is that the murderer was
killed by a guard or starved to death.
The story is told by a prisoner who
worked in the mines where the tragedy
occurred. Many arrests are reported of
poaching sealers by the Russian au-
thorities, and many prisoners never
leave the mines alive.

Among the guests at the Holmes this
week is ii. E. Sanford. advance repre-
sentative of the Struggle of Life COM
pany. Mr.. Sanford is veteran show
man, and his experience in the profess
sion dates back to old Bowery times.
He is full of "reminiscences of great act
Ors and actresses. and is warm friend
of the celebrated Booth, as is his star
Frederick Pauldlng. Mr.. Sanford
remarked last evening that it
was on the advice of Edwin
Booth, that Frederick Paulding entered
the field OF high comedy three years
ago, The great tragedian held that the
young actor, having played Romeo over
zoe nights. besides representing a long
line of other tragic characters, had be-
come thoroughly grounded in the princi-
pies of that branch of art, and that in
order to perfect his methods in these
branches, he should play lighter parts
for few years. 1t was Mr.. Booths
opinion that no actor could be a great
artist until he could play all parts art
istically. From all accounts, Mr.. Pauld-
ing has protited well by this advice.

great excitement this evening at the
Republican caucuses held to elect dele
gates to the convention. which VIII be
held tomorrow afternoon to nominate
candidates for mayor and aldermen.
Alderman Charles A. Long and Mayor
Davis had their henchmen out working
like beavers from morning till the polls
closed at 9 p. M. The fact that
Davis was nominated by the peo-
pies party and accepted the nomination
was used by Longs friends as reason
for throwing Davis over and nominal
ing a straightOut Republican. and it
seems to have had its intended result,
for Long carried large number of pre-
cincts and claims to control twO-thlrds
of the delegates elected. Davis and
Long were the only known candidates
i'll the field. Best judges say that Long
will be nominated Oh the first ballot to-
morrow, though last years experience
must not be lost sight of. At that time
II. W. Pearson captured the primaries.
but NJ. o. Hall, the banker, carried off
the nomination. Longs nomination
will draw from the Davis vote and
help elect D'Autremont. the Democratic
candidate.

Boxing Entertainment.

The entertainment at the Hennepin
Athletic club last night amused about
200 people. There were none but box
ing contests on the bill. The first was
a short set-to between young Morris and
Bordeaux. featherweights. Morris went
on for the purpose of finding out
whether he could box bit. He learned,
and not to his satisfaction. The
second event was four-round
contest for points between the
81. Paul Kid and Mcclure. The Kid
thought he had it all his own way until
the wind-up., Then he discovered that
Mcclure could box. 1t ended an even
thing: Eight rounds for points between
Mart Fahey, of Minneapolis, and Jack
Ryan, OF Omaha, closed the entertain

particularly scientific contest. It. too,

better of it, but his boxing was so full
