CLEVELAND, May 16-The concensus
Of opinion here is that the result of the

o'clock at Bank street hall, and the OPP

at II o'clock.

The Illinois operators and part of the
Pitts burg district were not represented,
however, so whatever terms, if
any are agreed upon, must lie
ratified by the absentees before they
become effective. Therefore contin-
gent clause will be the only thing that
will prevent the conference from being
an utter failure. The miners appear

all. Secretary Mcbride says their motto
will continue to be:
Gone for all, and all for one"

THE CLAQUE.
How It Operates in the the Theaters
of Paris and London.
From the Chicago Times

In Paris just now determined resis-
lance is being brought to bear against the
claque-men hired to applaud in the
theaters.
Claques, however, have, have flourished
from time immemorial and are not likely
to die out yet awhile. In the time of the
Romans as many as 5000 men were hired
to cheer single man, and to be men,
Der of claQue was to be considered an
artist. Not only had they to shout, but
they were required to initiate the clash
ing of broken jugs by swapping their
fingers in unison and to initiate the pat
ter of hail and the droning of bees, for
these were recognized signs of approval
Coming to more recent times the leader
Of French claque considered himself
very poorly of unless he made cousidera-
bly, over s., 900 year. Indeed, the post
of leader was so much sought after that
as much as S25 900 was eXacted as pre-
MUM before a man was permitted to fill
a vacancy. The chief was paid no stated
salary, but was allotted q certain number
of seats, which he could sell at his own
price, and these, together with the pres
ents he received from the actors,
amounted to very substantial sum- The
claque was and still is nothing more than
a gigantic fraud. Men are deputed TO
laugh immoderately at jokes, to applaud
speeches, and women are actually en-
ployed to sob audibly and become hyster-
ical during effecting scenes. In fact, in
some foreign theaters such mem Der of the
claque is given printed list of instruc-
tions, which he or she is expected to fol-
low to the letter.
Things came to such pass some years
ago that play was placed in jeopardy
through the Vaccinations of rival
claques Jealous actresses would employ
their own claques, and the ridiculous
spectacle was presented of an actress
being applauded from one part of the
house and soundly Kissed from the otheri
Circumstances are considerably modi-
fed in France now. but we still have our
claques here, says an English paper
They consist chiefly of deadheads per-
sons who are expected to applaud in ex-
change for free admission. They appear
for the most part the first nights. when
the fate of play is in the balance, and
are to be seen frantically clapping their
hands when the remainder of the audience
is half asleep,
At other times foreign actresses fresh
from the English stage hire men to APP
plaud them on their first appearance. The
whole business, however, is carried out so
inartistically that the presence of a claque
is nearly always detected.

TO RUN EAST AND WEST.
Bull Street to Divide the City In
Elections.

The Council to Provide For Twenty
Precincts On Basis Of 6, 900 Voters.
Two Reports Submitted By the Re-
districting Committee-The Major

Two reports were submitted to the
special meeting of council yesterday

divide the city into election districts.
A majority report, submitted by AL

tricts running east and west from Bull

line.
The minority report, signed by Alder
men Mills and Bohan, favored running
the districts east and west entirely across
the city. Both reports were brief.

said the people who lived on Bull street
would be surprised to see the class Of
people who do the voting in certain dis
tricts, particular the class who vote early
and often at the dlctation of their bosses,
and many of them whose names are not

The other committeeman said, however,
that this object could be accomplished
just as well by centering the districts on
Bull street instead of running them en-
tirely across the city. They said that the

The committee will continue their work
and will submit to council at its next
meeting plan of the districts. 1t is now
proposed to divide the city into twenty
districts, as the number of voters in the

a Meeting Tomorrow Afternoon to
Take Steps Toward it.
The remarkable success OF the second
annual music festival has prompted the
executive committee to undertake the
building of music hall to meet the re-
quirements of future festivals and for the
accommodation of large gatherings for
which there is no adequate building in
Savannah.
A meeting OF those interested in the
movement will be held at the Ludden &
Bates Music House at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon, when steps will be taken to
put the enterprise on footing that will
insure its successful elimination.
The movement for a music hall was
begun just after the festival a year ago
Committees were appointed and an option
on site was secured, but owing to the
money stringency, which followed nothing
further was done, and it was decided to
walt until the second annual festival

The need for music hall, suitable for
festival purposes and for conventions and

festival as permanent institution for

Scattering Flakes of Snow Seen by
Some Close Observers Yesterday.
Savannah is undoubtedly having the
worst weather of the winter so far as
this section of the country is concerned.
The day yesterday was cold, damp and
rainy, and it promises not to clear up
until this afternoon or tonight.
The temperature yesterday did not go
above 42' at any time. Several people
called attention to the fact that snow had
been seen in small and struggling flakes
both in the morning and during the after
noon. It could be seen from the second
or third stories Of dwellings, though not
visible near the ground. Observer Emyth
said last night that there would probably
be sleet or snow this morning in small
quantities
There was no report on which to base a
weather prediction received last night,
but from the map made out from the re-
ports yesterday morning at s o'clock, the
indications were that the cold weather
would continue this morning with prob
able moderation some time this afternoon.
This seems to be the most disagreeable
weather Of the winter.

of some of the most valuable alternatives
