THE ARIZONA KICKER.
A Misguided Dramatic Company Tn
 Left Town Badly Damaged.

A Misguided Dramatic Company That
 Left Town Badly Damaged.
 DRAMATIc.-Wcdnesda morning last the remnant of tho Shaw Dramatic com pany, which opened at the opera house Tuesday night in Uncle Toms Cabin" left town for the railroad in n vehicle pro- vidcd at our expense. The said remnant consisted of n cross eyed actress 40 years old and weighing lSO pounds, who took the part of Little Eva; badly frightened young man, with two porous plasters on his back, who took the part of Legree; a lop shouldercd actress, with false hair and of uncertain age, who tried to take several parts, and n budding actor who was cast for the part of Uncle Tom, but got that of George Harris in the mix up of things. These four people passed the night from 10 o'clock on in THE KICKER office, and we sat up with them and helped them out of town at the earliest possible hour in the fiorning
 We have repeatedly stated for the bene- fit of the profession the sort of play de manded by our people. When the advance agent of the Shaw Dramatic company put in an appearance, we gave him our views and later on had a talk with the manager. Until the play opened Tuesday evening we had every reason to believe that our well | meant advice was to be followed. The play, as we have several times seen 1t in | the cast, has at least one donkey and one bloodhound in it. These animals were | lett out, though advertised on the posters. Little Eva Is supposed to bo child of ten | der years and talks more or less about dy- | ing and going to heaven. In this case the | age, size and actions of the actress who took tho part were n great disappointment. | She wasn't going to die If anybody's sar- saparilla could save her, and she got hcav- | an nud Texas hadly mixed up in tho first five minutes. There should be u river and | cakes of floating ice in the play, but the l audience of Tuesday evening looked in | vain for such accessories. Instead of being | a martyr, Uncle Tom walked around tho stage holding out his coattails for some one to tread on, and at the very first word from Lcgree the downtroddcn and muct abused darky made n rush and knocked him into the middle of next week.
 When it became apparent that there wal to be no attack by the Indians. no rail road wreck, no carrying a maiden of or horseback. not even song and dance we vacated our seat in the orchestra anC started for the door. We hoped to get ou before the shooting began, but were min
 ute too late As we rose up old Jim Fay

wirc- rrnm rort Arthnr Cut.

LONDON. Nov. 6.-Ths Times today publishes n dispatch from lien tsin say ing that the telegraph line to Port Ar thur was cut yesterday. probably at the narrow isthmus between Port Adams and Talienwan. indicating that the Japanese are within n days march of the Talien- wan forts.
 4 former dispatch to The Times from Tien- tsin said that the Japanese cleverIy effected landing at Pitzwo while making e demonstration against the opposite coast of Shantung. They cut the tele- graph. thus preventing the news from reaching the Chinese admiral 4 Chinese fleet, consisting of II warships and tor pedo flotilla. afteTward started to attack the Japanese, but was recalled.
 A Shanghai dispatch says that orders have been issued rescindinG the projected dispatch of large supplies of rice for the fact that the board of war has abandoned all hope of staying the progress of the Japanese army in MAnchuria. The dis patch adds that many Chinese merchant vessels have recently been placed under the German flag.
 Tho Daily News says that the Chinese minister has implrtCd to the foreign OfiiCs China's desire that the power~ mediate
 with Japan for peace. The minister ha, gone to Paris tO make n similar request | of Franco.
 In n letter commenting on the fOrcgO | ing The Daily \Cws says that China ha, | approached tho powers with the terms o
 D, acc she will offer Japan. This Is { | formal renewal on n larger scale of tn, | overturcs made tO tho queens ministers month ago, Lord Rosebery's course coult
 not have been moro completely and con clusively vinticatod-
 No European power can well desire t' | prolong this disastrous conflict. Ever
 the United States. despite the MonrO
 doctrine, must be concerned for the reg
 ularity and security of their great trad | with Japan. IL will be difficult to con
 tend that interference Is premature now.

RAJAHs IN REBELLION.
The Dutch Have an Interesting East
 War on Their Hands-


 At rare intervals one sees in the for eign dispatches some reference to the Acheen war or other item bringing tc mind the fact that the Dutch have little problem of their own in the East Indies. It is really rather big prob. lem, for Java contains little over 49, : 900 square miles and is the fourth in size of the large islands, being also the most fertile and prosperous tropical is- land in the world, and though the Java. nese have long been quiet under Dutch rule they are not displeased to see rebel. lion in the smaller islands near by. The Dutch have now fought the Atchinese since 1878, and this fact has stirred uT rebellion in the islands of Lombok and Boil, for in the last forbearance is al ways attributed to weakness, and any failure to crush a native insurrectior promptly is pretty sure to cause othel rebellions.
 Boil and Lombok are next in impor tance to Java among the Dutch posses sions, though much inferior in size, anC

 seemed bright, and Mir. Stege at once proceeded to gather together all the promising looking frogs that he and a dozen expert frog catchers could find.
 Like all pioneers. Stege found no prec- edents that were instructive. Science told him, he says, that frogs were not migratory, but after half his jumping gold mins had hopped away to parts unknown he concluded that science was wrong and began building fences to keep the gold mine on his own premises. He first built fence IS inches high, but the frogs sat on top of it and laugh ed at him and then croaked farewell. A fence 4 feet high was treated with the same contempt, but when he added a slanting roof board to the top of the fence and faced the under edge of the board with tin that curled inward and then upward, the frogs abandoned the emigration business. Stege is as enthu- siastic over the frog ranch's outlook as Colonel Mulberry Sellers doubtless wo1ld be were the scheme his own.

THE annual report of General Casey. chief of engineers, United States of Amer ica. just made public. again brings for ward the recommendation that a separate building be provided by congress to be used for office purposes by the president. The necessity for such @ building is so apparent that the only wonder is that it has not long ago been erected. The presi- dent is the only official of the government who is expected to reside in the same building in which he transacts his official business. The idea is so repugnsnt to President Cleveland that during his first as well as his present administration he has owned a residence in order that he and his family might get the privacy that cannot be had at the white house.

 YOKOHAMA, Nov. GA detachment of she first Japanese army has reached the landing place of the second army. and communication between the two armies has been established.
 It is supposed that the above dispatch refers to the rejOining of Field Marshal's $ Oyama's army, which, as announced in these dispatches Sunday. had been divid- cd. One division landed north of Tslien- wan, while another division was detach- ed, with orders to effect a landing ai King Chow and proceed thence to join the main body. It is believed that this is the movement that has been successfully carried out. IL is not believed to be pos sible that Field Marshal Yamagsra's army can have joined Field Marshal Oyama's army, tho latter army being not far from Port Arthur. while the former was. at last reports. at or in the vicinity of Flung Wang Ching. about goo miles northeast of that place.
