To Make bis Bow in "Fritz" Tuesday
Night
The sale of seats for J. K. Emmett in
''Fritz" began yesterday morning. Fritz"
will be at the theater Tuesday night. 1t
will be Mr.. Emmet's first appearance in
Savannah and good deal of interest is felt
by theater-goers Ia his visit. The
New York Morning journal critic
says of him: young Emmett himself is to-
day the only remaining link of long chain
of distinguished comedians in the field OF
what is known as Dutch dialect. There
are some others who have attempted to be
the successor of his father. But they all
failed, The dramatic mantle fell on a wor-
thy son who will carry on the traditions Of
an art that seems to be always pleasing ard
curiously interesting. The phenomenal
reign OF the elder Emmett, not here alone,
but in all Epglish-speaking countries, Is the
best proof OF this The J. K. Emmet Of the
present, however, has not been content to
rest upon the singing Of pretty songs and
the dancing of graceful dances. he has in
vested the performance with good deal Of
outside merit"
W. NJ. Wilkison and Alexander Salvini,
who is under bis managerial direction. have
purchased large tract OF land in the San
Fernando valley, Southern California. 1t
is their purpose to make it one Of the most
attractive fruit ranches for which that
section is so justly celebrated. Plans are
being drawn by San Francisco architect
for magnificent villa to be built in the
center Of the estate, which, when com
pleted will be almost an exact copy OF
Tomasso Salvini's pelatial country resi-
dence at Monte Catini ip Italy.
Whom Stuart Robson first produced "Our
Bachelors" this season, it happened that the
actor who took the opposite part TO Robson
was taken sick and a substitute assumed bis
place. In the fistic encounter at the end OF
the third act of the play. this substitute
gave Mr.. Robson what the comedian
thought too severe punch and he gave 1t
back with interest. This, the substitutes
also repaid, and before the audience could
realize what was happening. the scene had
turned to a genuine pugiltstic exhibition
Mr.. Robson got the best of it, however,
and gave his adversary a blow that sent
him to the extreme end OF the footlignts
The curtain at that moment descended and
the substitute was forced to bow his ay
back behind the scenes amid roars OF ap
p,lause from the delighted audience.

Is THE VESSEL LIABLE?

He Refuses the Vessel VIII be At
tsched in the United States Court.
A Novel Legal Question.
An interesting case involving the reSpon-
sbility of vessel to the wishes of its ship
pers will be carried into the United States
court here tomorrow unless its master
effects compromise.
Some time ago Minis Sons chartered the
British steamer Vulcan TO carry cargo OF
cotton to Barcelona and Genoa. The ships
pers of the Barcelona cotton had an under
standing with the captain that be would
deliver that part OF his cargo first to save
custom charges, which are less from the
United States than from Italy. The chart
erers also had the same understanding, 1t is
said, with the captain, although he de-
INJURED at first on the ground that a
portion of the Genoa colt n was on top of
the Barcelona consignment. he was shown
that the trouble of removing this would be
slight, and when the Vulcan sailed away
from Savannah the shippers of the Bar
celona portion OK the cargo felt satisfied
their cotton would be delivered first.
CHANGED HIS MIND ON THE VOYAGE.
The captain, however, changed his mind
on the voyage and proceeded first to Genoa,
where he unloaded the consignment TO
that place. Then he went 70 Barcelona,
and the result was differ
ence of nearly 81 bale
custom charges in advance Of what they
would have been had the Vulcan come
from an American instead Of an Italian
port
Naturally the shippers here we're mad at
the manner in which they had been treated.
In the meantime Minis Sons rechartered
the Vulcan, and when she arrived here a
few days ago the shippers began steps to
get redress for the unnecessary expense to
which the captain had sui jected them.
A DEMAND ON THE CAPTAIN.
They secured the services Of Charlton,
Mackall s. Anderson aud yesterday Mr..
hackall wrote to the captain demanding the
payment Of the additional custom charges
which he had incurred to the shippers OF the
Barcelona cotton by failure TO stick to his
agreement to touch at that port first.
The captain replied, denying liability, and
Mr.. Mackall gave him until tomorrow
morning TO consider whether he prefers lit
lgation. II be persists in denying liability
Mr.. Mackal will sue ont 8. hbe
In admiralty and attach the Vulcan. Thi'
will bring before the United States court
one OF the most interesting and novel mari
tlme questions ever considered in the courts

character in this country, ana will decide
whether captain can suit bis own con
