ADJUSTMENTS

At the Metropolitan Theater Saturday
evening next the Bostonans will give
the beautiful opera, robin Hood" under
the management of Karl, Macdonald d
BArnabee. The troupe is well known
here, and so favorably that there is abso-
lutte certainty that the house will be
crowded. The organization is larger and
stronger, with better chorus and orches-
ira than ever before, and carries with it a
great quantity Of fine scenery, wardrobe,
stage hXings and properties. The lead
ing soprano and the Maid Marian of
the opera is Caroline Hamilton, Califor-
MIA singer when Miss Carrie MilZner.
She will be remembered as the solo singer
at the Fourth Of July celebration in this
city two years ago. Other leading people
are Tom Karl as Robin Hood, w. H.
Macdonald as Little John, George Froth-
ingham as Friar Tuck, Eugene Cowles.
the well-knowu baritone, Jessie Bartlett
Davis, the popular contraltO, Peter Lang,
Edwin Hotf, Maud Ulmer and II. c. Bar
nabee.
The recent engagement of the Boston,
ians in San Francisco has been one of the
most successful musically and tinan-
cially known in the dramatic annals of
that city. The San Francisco Post said
of the closing night: 1.-The Bostonians
closed their engagement in a blaze of
glory. Robin Hood was the bill, and
every number in it was wildly encored
by one of the largest audiences ever con-
gregated in the theater. When Cowles
sang the 'Armorer's Song in the last act
the ladies waved their pocket handzer-
chiefs and the men shouted themselves
hoarse. After the curtain had dropped
on the final scene the vast audience rose
and shouted until it rose again Mr..
Barnabee then stepped to the tootlights
and made neat speech, after which the
orchestra struck up Aud Lang Syne'
and the whole company and the audience
joined in the song" The box-office will

After 100000 Acres OF land.

O'NEIL, NEB., March 16.-A gigantic at
tempt to capture &c, 900 acres of land in this
county is now in progress. One hundred
and twenty men, under the leadership of J.
Il. Steward, immigration commissioner of
the Pacific Snort line, arrived last night
and this morning appeared at the United
States land office and attempted to
fight the contests on 100 quarter
sections of the finest land in the county.
The land is nearly all occupied by settlers,
and if the gang succeeds in having the land
Office accept the contest papers, bloodshed
will undoubtedly follow.
Promptly at 8 O'Clock Register Gillespie
threw open the doors of the land Office and
the crowd marched in out of the cold. The
papers were passed upon ana in a short
time disgust was depicted uponothe faces
of the land seekers. They discovered
the land for which they paid to secure in
formation was thirty to forty miles north
Of this city, located in the old Ponca reser-
walton. On the tram last night Stewart
held out the idea the land was close to 4
railroad and first-class, while it is far away
and much of it is said to be worthless. It
is estimated Stewart made 5000 to $4,000
by selling his information.

The Sugar Trust.

Speaking OF the rUmored purchase by the
sugar trust of the Independent rafineries Il
New York exchange saws editorially:
For some time the sugar trust has been
negotiating for the control by purchase or
agreement of the independent refiueTieS in
Philadelphia. These houses, which refused
absolutely to Join the trust in 1857 and the
new ones which were built during the
period OF high prices in 1883 and 1889 have
become strong competitors with the trust.
In 1880 and 1891 the. trust tried TO force
them TO terms by cutting prices, but unsuc-
cessfully, and since then it has tried to Sc
cure control by purchase. 1t was with this
end in view that the stockholders were
called upon to vote an increase in the capt
tai stock of go, 000 600. But in its scheme
of purchase the trust has met with great
drawback in that the independent houses
have persisted in holding out for extray-
agant prices. Thus, for instance. the
Franklin refinery, which has 4 daily
capacity of 5000 barrels and capt.
talization of S5,OO00G0, was offered to
the trust at Sl0,000,000 some time ago.
Experts are of the opinion that this house
could be replaced in every particular
at an expenditure of not over 8, 100000
Report has ii that it has now come under
the control OF the trust, but whether by
direct purchase or by 4 trade agreement
merely IS not definitely known. Should
this report prove true, the trust would
have comparatively free field for a time.
But what is there to prevent new houses
being erected, which, with no watered
stock, will be able to compete with the
trust as has been the case with the Frank
lin and other reineries up to the present.
The sugar trust seems to be in the position
of government whose operations are car
ried on on fiat money basis; it must buy
up all new corners or surrender its con
troll In all this there is a great profit to
spectators, but the investing public may
not find it as profitable.

NEW YORK. March 17.-As was to be
expected, the reorganization of Richmond
and West Point caused some disappoint-
ment on Wall street to some interests, and
realizations by such parties were taken adj
vantage of in early trading to-day to de-
press both stocks and trust bonds The
concessions made on these stocks was very
material, but the rest of the market refused
10 follow the lead of Richmond and West
Point, and displayed throughout most of
the day decidedly firm to strong temper.
The opening of the market was made at
small gains over last nights figures as a
rule, but no material change appeared until
the sudden drop of per cent in Richmond
and West Point preferred and a loss of u
in common stocks.
On the other hand sugars were strong,
and during the day advanced 3, dragging
all the sluggish ones with it. Late deal
ings were marked by severe pressures to
sell from bear sources, and in the last hour
prices melted away. Richmond and West
Point went to still lower figures and coal
ers sympathized. The market finally
closed quiet and heavy generally at but
slight changes from opening prices.
Railroad bonds quiet.
Government bonds dull, steady.
State bonds entirely neglected.
