THINGS DRAMATIC.

To those who love to laugh and to those who are admirers of realism nothing could be more pleasing than "Blue Jeans,p which was presented by a clever company to small audience at O Brien's last night.
 The location is laid in southern Indiana, and is repres sntation of daily life that has never been put on an American stage.
 All through there are half dozen plain characters and band of "Rising Sun Roarers' that make fun for the millions.
 The realism that is produced is simply immense. The saw min scene, in which a dozen men are busily engaged saving lum- Der, is the very acme of this element in drama.
 w. H. Elwood as Perry Bascom, brave and manly husband fighting against cruel circumstances, was good.
 George D. Chaplin as Col. Henry Clay Risner, boss politician of the ''Biue- jeans deestrict, ' was clever.
 Miss Annie Buckley as June was also a good character.

Trespassing In Balnoral.

A party of Americans tranping recently over the hills in the grounds of Balmoral came suddenly upon an elderly lady sitting alone before table and writing rapidly.
 "Tell me, madam" said one, politely lift ing his hat, "are we far from Ballnorali" You are on the grounds now," said the lady, "and greatly fear you arc trespass- ing" They Respectfully announced their intention of getting into tho public road at the first opportunity. Thereupon the lady wrote line, and, handing it to them,
 said, smiling, Here is safe conduct if you meet bailiff." Victoria, R, ., was all the slip contained. Star.

Who that has had the pleasure of hearing Ex Gov. Bob Taylor in his famous lec- lures, s'The Fiddle and Bowl and 'sPara- disc of Fools,o but will hail with the greatest gladness the announcement that he is to appear at O. Brien's on next Tues- day night in an entirely new lecture, en- titled sVislons and Dreame?''
 Governor Taylor is famous not only be- cause of the remarkable race he made for the governorship of his state some years since, when his father and brother were ar- rayed against him on opposing sides, but because of his wonderful gift of oratory and delivery. His sudden changes from the sublime to the ridiculous can only be appreciated by those who hear him.
 One of his peculiar remarks which he uses in his new lecture gives an idea of his humorous vein. It runs as follows: "When l first entered the political arena I was too weak to bear the armor of a Saul and be- sought Heaven for arms and ammunition, and received fiddle. 8 plug horse and a pair of saddie bags.''

INDIAN LANDS.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Secretary Smith
has transmitted to Congress an adverse
report upon the title claimed by the
Chocktaw and Chickasaw Indians in the
Oklahoma lands known as the leased
district, west of west longitude 9S, claimed
by the Whichita and kiowa Indians,
Notwithstanding the action of the Fifty
first and Fifty-second Congresses. Chair
man Hunter of the House Committee on
Territories, in calling for report, raised
the question whether the Indians had not
ceded all their right and title by the treaty
of 1856.
Secretary Smith says, after careful in
yestigation, that he believed the Choctaws
and Chickasaws have no interest in the
leased district. tWere the matter lett to
the departments decision,o says he, II
should hold that they ceded all their
rights and title by the treaty. But the
Indians were sufficiently persuasive to
satisfy the validity of their claim, and
I suggest that 1t would be unwise to close
O negotiation with the KiowaS and Co.
manches by which the land will be opened
and leave the claim of the Choctaws
and Chickasaws for future decision. So
long as the lands are occupied by friendly
Indians, the reversionary interest of the
Choctaws and Chickasaws, if they have
such interest, natures when the friendly
Indians remove from such lands. When
the treaty was made, neither the United
States nor the Choctaws or the Chick
asaws contemplated opening the land at
any time for settlement. The latter never
expected to obtain any additional pay for
these lands. The United States will be
compelled to pay the Kiowas and
Comanches for them. and the alleged
claim Of the Choctaws and Chickasaws
should be settled either bya reference to
the courts or by agreement with the
friendly Indians who removed from the
lands.''

BEHRING SEA FLEET.
Not Likely to Sail North for Some
Weeks Yet,


Weeks Yet.
PORT TOWNSEND {Wash.), May s.
There is every reason to believe that the
commander of the Behring sea patrol
fleet, Captain Clark of the United States
steamship Mohican, the flagship, has re-
ceived instructions from the department
to delay dispatching vessels north in
quest of Illegal sealers. Last week all the
vessels were busily engaged in coaling
and taking on stores for their long sea
voyages. Shore-leave was denied all
officers and men, and everything was in
readiness to sail at an hours notice. To-
day the whole aspect is changed, the Off
GERS and crews were allowed to come
ashore. and the general rumor prevails
among the fleet that the vessels will not
60 to sea for two or three weeks.
Officers on the cruiser Yorktown pro-
fess to have been semi-officially notified
to await the arrival of Secretary Of the
Navy Herbert, who will inspect the
fleet. and then the Yorktown will be or
dered to Australia via Honolulu.
Commander Clark will not make a
statement for publication.
Since the British Elm bassador and Sec
retary Gresham have agreed upon regu-
lations to govern the sealing this season.
mander Clark received voluminous
cipher dispatch from Washington, have
suddenly ceased making active prepara-
tions for the northern cruise. A naval
officer who is quite near Commander
Clark expressed the opinion that since
the British Government has decided to
heartily cooperate with the Americans
to suppress sealing, except in the man
ner prescribed in the regulations. and has
dispatched two men-of- war north to warn
Canadian sealers to comply with the law,
that the authorities at Washington city
have decided that it IS unnecessary to
send a large feet north. tits quite prob
able that four revenue cruisers and one
naval vessel will be ordered to Behring
Sea, and the other men-of-war dispatched
to other stations. 1t is evident that some
thing has occurred which has changed
the Governments programme, after con-
centrating nearly dozen vessels at this
point, preparatory to sailing north.

Special to the RECoRD-UNION.
SAN Francisco, May S.-Considerable
discussion was evoked at meeting of the
State Board of Trade this afrerrloon upon
the advisability Of listing lands in the
manner advocated by Will S. Green.
The Finance Committee recommended
that the General Manager be instructed to
procure an organization in each OF the
interior counties to cooperate with the
board in the matter. Whenever "a tract
of land is referred to the manager in this
city, described with reference to location,
water and railway transportation facili-
ties, character OF soil and price, and terms
of payment, the matter will be placed on
file open to inspection. All such particu-
lars should be Endorsed by the local or
ganization, which must be composed OF
citizens disinterested in the sale thereof.
The board, however, would assume no
responsibility in guaranteeing any Of the
conditions set forth in the descriptions,
and no restriction will be held against
lands offered by real estate agents.
At the conclusion of the reading Judge
Stabler arose ana proceeded to condemn
the proposed measure in emphatic terms.
He said that it was purely scheme for
private gain and that the board should
have no hand in it's furtherance.
Colonel Irish looked at the matter in
another light, claiming that it was neces-
sary for the board to have systematic list
ment of all available lands in the State,
for the enlightenment of fhome-seekers.
Mr.. Mills was OF tine same opinion, and
favored the adoption of the report as
read.
After considerable wrangling the re-
port came to vote, and was almost
unanimously adopted.
In introducing Mr.. Walkop at meet
ing of the State Board of Trade this after
noon, w. II. Mills explained the object
of their visit to be the inspection of lands
with the view to settlement. the over
crowded condition OF the ranks of labor
in the East had led to movement for the
settlement of fruit lands IN this State.
Subsequently, in brief interview, Mr..
Wolcox said the visit of the labor leaders
meant d good deal for California. 1t is a
step in a movement that will result in
the settlement here of thousands of home
seekers from the East. There is, he
said, great inquiry in the East for Cali
fornia fruit lands.

THE TARIFF BILL.

Reed of Maine on the Amendments to
the Senate Measure.
WASHINGTON, May S.-Reed authorizes
the following regarding the tariff amend
ments made public to-day: 1.-THE pre-
sentation by the Senate Finance Commit
tee of eighty-one pages OF amendments,
apparently more than 400, is delicate
compliment to Mr.. Wilson and his House
of Representatives 1t virtually says the
House bill is right except on four or five
hundred points. This will hardly tend to
restore confidence in the country, espec-
tally as every amendment smacks of
prior ignorance or present barter. Evil
IDENTIFY 1t Will be the duty of the Senate
to fully investigate the proposed amend
ments, for when the Committee on Fin
ance refuses a hearing because it knows
intuitively all things, but finds by some
kind of back-stairS influence il has made
400 mistakes, it is evident the committee
will bear watching"
Senators Aldrich and Allison, who are
in charge of the Republican side of the
tariff Dill, to-day said to Senator Harris
that they were in position to state that
for the present the Republicans would
observe the understanding in favor of the
suspension Of the tariff debate, to allow the
Democrats to bring in their compromise
bill, and Mr.. Harris, acting for the DEM
ocrats, agreed TO the proposition, with the
stipulation that the speech-making should
proceed in a business-like manner; that
there should not be dilatory action.
This agreement is likely TO be broken
at almost any time. The Democrats are
beginning to complain that some of the
speeches made on the Republican side are
longer than necessary, and intimate that
if their opponents do not soon manifest a
disposition to shorten them they will give
them more hours daily in which to speak.
The true reason for the reticence among
Republican as to their intentions is found
in the fact that they are not absolutely
satisfied as to the strength of the compro-
mise. They still cling to the Idea that a
sufficient number of the Democratic SEN
ators will repudiate the bill to insure its
defeat, and they do not care to yield as
long as it positively exists. They are also
discussing the advisability of holding out
indefinitely against the bill, in case they
find they are In the minority.

RAILWAY AFFAIRS.
The Annual Convention of the Sta
Commissioners

The Annual Convention of the State
commissioners.
WASHINGTON, May S.-The sixth an
nual convention of State Railroad Com
missioners convened to-day at the rooms
OF the Interstate Commerce Commission.
There was quite representative gather
ing, as State officers, charged with any
duty in the supervision of railroad affairs
are entitled to seats in the convention.
j. III. Paddock of Illinois called the
convention to order. and Mr.. Woodruff
OF Connecticut was elected Chairman.
The most important feature of the DAYS
proceedings was the presentation of ma
Jority and minority reports of the COM
mlttee appointed at the last convention to
make report on pooling of freights and
division of earnings. The majority re-
port favors the repeal of Section of the
Interstate Commerce Act, which pro-
hibits pooling. Mr.. Becker, in his mi
nority report, says Section 5should be re-
pealed. The proposition to allow COM
peting roads to divide between them net
proceeds of their earnings is, he asserted,
nothing but an effort to create under the
forms of law gigantic railroad trust.
sLAsHING RATES.
CHICAGO, May S.-The lines in the
Western Freight Association went at the
rates to-day with an ak. and by the time
they had finished their work there was
not much left of the rates between Chicago
and the Missouri River, and between the
Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. The
freight rates of all classes were cut
squarely in half, the reduction being
fifty per cent. of the rates in effect yes
terday. The cause of tine reduction is
said TO be the Missouri Pacific Road,
which some time ago declined to enter
the agreement of the other lines to main
tain rates, and which has, it is claimed,
been cutting rates without regard to the
tariffs in effect on the lines of the West
ern Freight Association. The present
reductions are made with the object OF
bringing the Missouri Racific to time and
compelling it to maintain rates. The
rates put in after to-day apply not only
between Chicago and the Missouri River,
but from all points on the Mississippi
River to all points on the Missouri River
as we'll. Chairman Caldwellof the West
ern Passenger Association has called a
meeting of the association for o-morrow
to see what can be done with the present
rate troubles in his territory. The gen.
eral opinion, even among the best friends
OF the Western Passenger Association, is
that nothing can save II but thorough
reorganization, with tie Union Pacific
and the Atchison as members.

NO TROUBLE AT SPRAGUE.
SPOKANE (Wash.). May S.-There is no
truth in the rumors of trouble at Sprague
between the Commonweal Army and
Deputy Marshals. When a stock train
pulled out of there to-day with deputies
on, some of them fired shots in the air to
frighten off the men who were trying to
climb aboard. The crowd has left
Sprague, some of them catching freight
trains and others tramping out. Six
hundred or 700 men are strung along be-
tween Ellensburg and Sprague. The
situation is unchanged, except that the
army is growing constantly from addi-
tions from the West.

triumphed in the three great battles of
LIE Alder, Las Cruta and Ell Coneasta.
The rebels are concentrated in the city OF
Santa Ana, where the seat CT the insur-
rection is located. In the three battles
the rebels lost 400 killed and 1,500 wound
ed. General Gutierrez, the chief of the
revolutionists, is severely wounded, and
it is reported that he is dead. His lieu
tenant, General Salguero, was killed. The
Government losses are half of those of

DEALT SEVERELY WITH PORTUGAL.

the course followed with the officers of.
the insurgent fleet after their surrender
in Rio Janeiro Bay. After relating the
history of the revolution, the PRESIDENTS
message says Brazil enjoyed friendly re-
lations with all the world except Portu-
gal, and the strained relations with that
country were due to the abuse OF the
rights of asylum by Captain Castiiho OF
the Mendello. Portugal was responsible
for Captain Castilho's course, the PreSi-
dent declared, and in permitting
the escape of the fugitives to
other than Portuguese territory he
had committed an act of hostility toward
Brazil. Brazil would pursue the ques-
ton, he asserted. and push the matter to
satisfactory conclusion.
OUTBREAK REPORTED AT BUENoS AYRES.

Press and commercial kilograms are

revolution broken out at the capital.
dispatch filed at l P. NJ. at Buenos Ayres

| WASHINGTON, May THE rumor of a
rebellion in Buenos Ayres was received
with some surprise by Senor Zeballos,
the Argentine Minister. There had been
excitement growing out OF the election
| last March of a Governor of Buenos
/ Ayres, in which the Radicals were de-
| feated by the coalition of the other two
parties, but the Minister does not believe
the defeated party, even if so disposed,
| could master force enough for a revolu-
ton. The entire army and navy,
| he says, are thoroughly loyal to
the existing Government. AS late
as Monday morning Senor Zeballos
received dispatches from his Government
announcing that all was quiet In Argen-
tine. The interests of the United States
will be cared for in any emergency that
may arise by the United States ship New

Tariff Managers Decline to Yield Time
for Its Discussion.
WASHINGTON. May S.-The failure of
the Senate to take up the Chinese treaty
in executive session to-day again was
due to the fact the the tariff managers
declined to yield more time for the dis
cussion of this subject. at is of course
desirable" said Mr.. Harris, 'that the
treaty should be disposed of, but the tariff
question is of paramount importance, and
l do not feel disposed 10 grant more time
to the treaty until we get along with the
tariff question:"
The opponents of the treaty say that
they see in the postponement of further
consideration evidence of weakness on
the part of the treaty.
When the Senate adjourned yesterday,
Senator Perkins was in the midst of his
speech in opposition to the treaty. He
had spoken for an hour and quarter,
and had dealt only with the moral and
social features of Chinese immigration.
He will probably at the next opportunity
discuss the commercial phase of the rela-
tions of this country with China as
affected by the treaty.
