ADJUSTMENTS.

1 Verdi's opera OF III Troyatore" will b,
again presented at the opera house thi
evening by the pupils of Siginor Barabini
! The success attending its recent presents-

demand for a repetition, and in fact such
| pressure was brought TO bear by those whC
were unable TO attend its former presen

from an artistic standpoint the
presentation this evening viii FAT
far excel the previous one.
\ characteristic feature of the opera is
the elegant costuming OF the piece, and
those who have the pleasure of listening to
this grand opera tonight, will see it dressed
as thorough as though the presentation
was gwen by strictly tirst-ciass metropoi-

which is no more than Is deserved by Sgnor
Barabini ana his pupils for the instituted
interest they have taken in advancing the
musical interests of Wichita. and bringing
to the front musical talent that the citizens
of this city can justly feel proud OF.
Frank Mayo in ''Davy Crockett" played
at the opera house last night 10 fair
audience.
Marie Heath and her company OF fan
makers will opea At the opera house Fri
day, Jan. 9th for two nights.
"A Turkish Bath" Is the catchy title
of bright clean farce comedy that was
written with the sole object Of allowing
petite Marie Heath opportunity TO show
her peculiar talent. This little lady has
risen from the ranks by sheer force Of her
natural ability, augmented by conscien-
tious study. For years soubrettes have
been singing TO successful songs that she
wrote and made popular, viz: Wont you
come out aud plAyF and listen
TO my tale OF woe" but
more of them have ever made the hit that
Marie Heath has done. In Depicting the
character Of a hoidemist step OF girl she
cannot be eqpalled for true delineRtiye
artistic touch and winsomeness Her
singing Is something wonderful coming as
il does from Al 50 pound bit OF humanity
All the fun Of the piece is Clean and
bright. without any suggestive of coarse
ness or yulgesity, but with absurd and
laughable situations. The thread Of the
comedy Is neatly strung with dainty apec
ialties and with just enough plot to serve
the purpose Of the iece.
Marie Heath Is singing a new song OF
her own composition entitled Wont You
Play That Little Game Called Kissing
and has new recitation about Bsbt Nc
kee, whose reign IN the White House il
over. Grandpa steps out in 93 and makes
room for the baby Of Grover.

AFTER SEALS.
The Syeamcr Alexander Will Raid

The syeamer Alexander will Raid
the Ksookeries.
New York. March 22.-The Herald's
San Francisco special says:
Advices just received from Behring
sea show that the steamer Alexander,
which left here early this year, is al
ready in the forbidden waters, and
that as soon as the season opens she will
make bold raid on the seal rookeries.
The Alaska Commercial comrany's
supply schooner Dora has arrived from
cruise extending as far north as Oun-
alaska
The Alexander cleared from San
Francisco for Hakodate, Japan, Jan, 25.
She carried full sealing outfit, includ-
ing large quantity of salt. In her
hold was an unusually large supply of
cheap liquors, and another suspicious
circumstance was that she carried a
crew Of 10 men. AT the last moment
several cases of Winchesters and cart
ridges were secretly put aboard.
1t is believed here that the Alexander
will trade liquor for skins along the
shores of the Behring sea and before q
patrol feet starts north she will make
q dash for the rookeries, overpower the
small guard on the islands and then
slip south with full cargo Of skins.
The character of the crew and the
nature of the outfit leaves no doubt that
her mission is unlawful.

New YORK, March 22.-Princess Vic
toria Kaiulani has promulgated her
farewell address to the American, peo-
pie. 1t reads as follows:
To the American People:
Before leave this land want to thank
all those whose kindness has made my
visit such a happy one Not only the
hundreds of hands have clasped, not the
kind smiles have seen, but the written
words OF sympathy that have been
sent to me from SO many homes have
made me feel that whatever happens
to me shall never be stranger to you
Americans 1t is to the American people
spoke, and they heard me as knew they
would; and now God bless you for it, from
the beautiful home where your fair first
lady reigns, to the dear crippled boy who
sent me his loving letter and prayer.

Talks About Canadian Matters,

Talks About Canadian Matters.
OTTAWA, Ont. March 22.-In the
house OF commons Mr.. Tisdale intro
duced the following motion:
THAT in view OF the early compile
ton OF the earal around st. Marys
rapids, upon the Canadian shore, and of
the enlargement and increased depth of
our canal system to the Atlantic sea-
board, and also of the ever increasing
volume OF rafic tending in that direc-
non, IT Is desirable that Canada should
nave conplste and uninterrupted
waterway from the head of Lake
superior to the Atlantic ocean
tnrongh her own territory; that
IN the turshe.ance of such
an Object. the minister of railways and
canals should with all reasonable dis
pafch proceed to have explorations and
surveys made to ascertain the most di-
rect and feasible manner of connection
or Lake st. Clair or River st. Clair, by
canal with Lake Erie through Cana
dlan territory and report upon same
with an approximate estimate of the
cost thereof to the house."
Speaking of his motion he severely
crif1clsed the diplomatic course pur-
sued by the United States toward Cam
ada ever since the war Of 1912 and con-
demned the whole course Of diplomatic
action OF the United States. No action
was taken on the motion.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The Demo-

noon to consider the subject of the re-
organization of the elective offices of the
senate. There was a large attendance.
every Democratic senator with the sim
gle exception of Senator Walthal Of
Mississippi being present. AS at the
preceding conferences. Messrs. PETER,
Kyle and Allen, despite the fact that
they have been given committee
chairmanships by the majority, were
not recognized as being Democrats, and
were not invited to attend. At the pre-
vious caucus the whole matter of
whether or not the party should at
tempt reorganization at this time was
left to the steering committee" of
which Mr.. German is chairman. The
report was made, and to the surprise Of
the junior senator's, at least, contained
no recommendations. While the COM
mitttee submitted report that was de-
cidedly negative and non-committal, it
had prepared for any contingency that
might arise. The list of employees OF
the senate and the annual pay roll had
been gone over very thoroughly,
and the condition of the roll as it exists
today compared with the roll q the
Forty-sixth congress when the Demo
Gratis controlled this branch of congress.
Since that time there has been an in
crease in the force of men, especially
under the sergeant-at-arms. The re-
port, however, simply contained a reci-
tation of the precedents OF the senate in
the matter of reorganization and was
replete with reference to the records
showing what had been done in the
past. There is every indication of a
long session.
