The eJollx bod Chnms. :,

W. c. Anderson's Jolly Old Chume" company opened the pre- liminary opera season at the Opera house in this city last night to fair sized audience. There was much di- versity of opinion among those who witnessed the performance as to the merits of the play. Some expressed themselves as well satisfied, while others gave expressions to feelings of disappointment. However that may be, the company was about ali that could be expected of a farce comedy. The makeup was fairly good, and the performance above the average. The singing and dancing were espec- ially pleasing features, and several of the actors had to responed to an encore. The singing of Signora Mel bina and the dancing of the Loring sisters deserve special mention. as the audience gave evidence of it's appreciation by hearty applause. The company opens the opera season in Little Rock tonight at the Capital theater.

.MuTINY IS BREWING.
Battery D at Chicago Is Tn
 an Uproar.
OUTBREAK EXPECTED ANY TIME.

They Want the Money Due Them by
 the State of Illinois For Services
 Rendered During the Recent Strike.
 Governor AltgeId Doing What He Can
 to Secure the Funds.
 CHICAGO, Sept. l9. Mutiny is brew ing in the ranks of Battery D. A move ment is on foot among the men to refuse to put on their uniforms or to drill again until they have received what the state of Illinois owes them for their services at the front during the recent strike disturbances.
 Some of them openly declare that in case the governor should find 1t neces- sary to call them out again they will re- fuse to respond, on the ground that the state had failed to fulfill its part of the contract, thus releasing them from full filling theirs.
 It was with great difficulty that the battery was kept from breaking away and refusing to obey orders at the regu- lar weekly drills Thursday night. The prevailing discomfort was openly mani fested.in the presence of the officers and if anything had happened to stir them up mutiny could not have been ayerted After the drill was over a committee of them called on Captain Alfred Russell in his office and hot discussion of the situation followed. He said at once that it was impossible for him to do anything and that he was as anxious to get his salary as the men were to get theirs.
 A member of the committee asked why Battery D did not make an effort to pay at least part of the money to relieve the distress of some of the mem bers of the command, who have lost their positions, or are for some other reason in hard circumstances. The eap- tain replied that the association was spending all the money it could get in paying the regular running expenses of the armory, and the committee went away without having received 8 grain of comfort.
 Since that time the spirit of discon- tent has been growing rapidly and it is likely to hear fruit next Saturday night in an open refusal to drill.
 When the men marched in after the close of the strikes they expected to draw their pay, about $60 to each man, without any delay and it was the keen est disappointment to them when they learned that the money might not be forth coming for months. Discomfort was kept in check by the hope that some body of wealthy men would take hold oi the matter and see that they got theil pay. Last week they lost hope of re ceiving any help from this source, and talk ot mutiny has since been freely in dulged in.
 The state agent, however, has done everything possible to secure the pay ment of the men. The militia appropri ation being exhausted, no funds art likely tn be available before the nex session of the legislature, next winter Governor Altgeld has offered personally to guarantee the payment of all sucl money advanced by bankers and otherl pending the meeting of the legislature both as to principal and interest.

 WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Great pres, sure continues upon the treasury de- partment for decision as to whether any regulations will be made for the en- forcement of the clause of the new tar if bill providing free alcohol for use in the arts and medicinal preparations, and in varnishes and other substances re- quiring alcohol as solvent, besides dis tillations of wood alcohol and whisky, all of which, at least, have vital in- terest in the final decision. From the standpoint of the treasury millions of revenue are involved. The general inn pression at the treasury department is that Secretary Carlisle will be unable to overcome the difficulties in his path until the means are provided by con- gress.

 REPUBLICANS VICTORIOUS.
They Elect the State Ticket In Maine
 by Large Majority.

by a Large haJofity'
 AUGUSTA, Me. Sept. 12.-t was a good day for the Republicans and q correspondingly bad one for the Demo- crats, but the result was not altogether unforeseen. To rain and general apathy is due the light vote, and though the Democrats admit defeat, they do not show a symptom of discouragement. The Prohibitionists and Populists are not largely in evidence, as far as re- turns indicate. A heavy rain put ouietus upon the telegraph and teie- phone wires service early in the eyen- ing, but reports have been received by the Associated Press from over loo clues and towns, and these indicate that the state has reelected Governor Cleayes' Republican, over Charles F. Johnson Democrat, by a majority which VIII e1. ceed 37,00O, the largest in the history oi the party. The Republicans have car ried every county in the state. a

 Dr. Lansing Says It Is Greater Than
 Any City In America.
 BOSTON, Sept. 12.-The Rev. Isaac J. Lansing D. D., discussed the immortality of Boston at the meeting of the Evan gelical alliauce Monday night and asked all Christians to do what they could to encourage General Martin in his reform of the Boston police. Among other things Dr. Lansing said.
 "We need revival on lines of con duct and life and law rather than of sentiment and doctrine. There is a deluge of immortality sweeping over this country. It is largely due to the great foreign immigration. Our new arrivals are threatening all our institutions. Crime against personal property has been greatly increased. Men in courts will tell wh at they please and no more. When it comes to the social evil, no one dares to look at the state of affairs. l have not asked the ministers of Boston what they think of it's social condition, but have asked the travelling men, who know all the large cities in the land, and from every. one of them have re- ceived the same answer, that in no city of this country is vice 80 open as in Boston. Not only are the horrible es- tablishments advertised in the press, h11t they are marked by signs and un- der the names of massage operator or 'chiropodists" or ''manieures" the wo- men carry on their fearful work. I am convinced that what we need is re- vival that will help General Martin in his work to reform the police"

TOO MUCH RAIN.
Considerable Damage Done to the Cotton
 Crop.
Lweekly weather-erop Bullettn.l

l
 LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Sept. II II. 1894
 The temperature during the week has averaged about four degrees above the normal and has been beneficial to all crops. The rainfall has been very unevenly distributed, but considering the State as whole has been greater than the average amount and detrimental to cotton and fodder, but beneficial to every thing else; this is particularly true of the northwest section of the State, where rain was needed very badly About the average amount of sun shine prevailed, which Wasfayorable. Cotton has deterioratcd somewhat from the condition last week, chiefly caused by too much moisture. Shedding, rust, rotting of the bot tom bolls and boil worms are re- ported from scattered localities, chiefly on the bottom lands, but in general the crop is not yet seriously injured and the yield as indicated at present will be good.
 Late corn has improved as also sweet potatoes, second crop Irish potatoes and turnips, in fact all fall gardens are doing as well as could be d. sired Tn seme sections where rains have been frequent q large amount of fodder has been ruined, but in general large crop has been saved in good condition. The soil is now in fine condition for fall blowing and much has been done, particularly in the northern coun- ties.
 Fhe following amounts If rainfall are reported during the week: Brinkley, .02, Forrest City, .65, Fort Smith, .56, Helena, B, Little Rock, 1.96, Malvern, 30, Pine Bluff, 295, Prescott, LA, Russellyille, 1.37, Tex arkana, .02.
 CENTRAL. SECTION.
 Local rains have occurred dur ing the week which have been detrimental to the growth of cotton and have continued to interfere with sodder pulling The outlook for a large yield of cotton continued prom ising, scattering reports indicate 8 falling off from shedding, but appar- ently the damage is not serious in any locality. The bolls are begin ming to open rapidly and in some places picking has commenced. La bor is plentiful and cheap.
 Corn, Irish and sweet potatoes continue fine, though as to the lat ter the potatoes are small for the season, but the vine is strong and healthy and with favorable weather the yield will be good. Some report of Irish potato seed rotting in the ground. A large acreage of turnips has been planted this year. They are coming up nicely and looking well. Prospects are encouraging for 8 fine crop of mast. Stock and hogs are doing well.
