The Houck Opera Company.

Go where you will, and you will
always find someone who wants TO
make change either in his business
or mode of living, and very often in
his mode of amusement, but we find
that the average theatre-goer will sit
through the evening and listen to a
first-class opera given by a company
like the Houck Opera company and
never begrudge the time or money,
and when he leaves the play house,
find that he has passed two hours OF
the evening away very pleasantly.
The Houck Opera company carries sc
people, its own orchestra and special
scenery, making in all very strong
company. 1t comes with all the
pomp and glitter that is generally
seen with opera and we would recon-
mend theatre-goers to see it at Har-
per's theatre this evening and
Saturday evening and the matinee
Saturday afternoon.

Ano torpedo Ericsson strikes Her Gait.
but has an Accident.
A special dispatch from New Lon
don, Conn.,, gives the particulars of
the second attempt to test the speed
and staying qualities of the torpedo
boat, Ericsson. which all the cities
along the Mississippi are interested
In. 1t states that the Ericsson
started on her speed trial trip Mon
day morning. but she had gone only
about two miles when her go-ahead
eccentric on the second intermediate
cylinder of the starboard engine
broke, and that forced postpone
meut of the trial till Saturday. She
broke an eccentric once before, but
that was on the port side and under
different circumstances.
The wind was pretty sharp. and
the occupants of the small boats
looked very wretched, but theirs was
perfect bliss compared with the lot
OF the observers in the Stiletto, which
acted as tender. The Ericsson,
however, rode as smoothly as oil.
Showed Great Speed.
The torpedo boat left New London
at $50 a. m. and came up to the first
buoy of Horizons Point, a distance
OF SO land miles, at 9:O5. Steam was
not quite up to racing point, and she
circled twice and came in. The Sti-
letto was having pretty good clip,
but she might as well have been an
chored. The Ericsson seemed fair
ly to jump past her. The black
smoke boiled out of her two stacks.
and thin veil of water rose up from
her turtle-back prov. 1t was the in
tention to go around the second buoy
and then return and make the trial.
it being hoped that by that time she
would have got 260 pounds of steam.
She was carrying 22O pounds. and
was not at her maximum speed.
Unofficially it is estimated that
she was making 25-knot gait. but
Just as she was about quarter of a
mile from the second buoy, the &c
centric strap broke in four pieces and
disabled the engine.
After the new strap is fitted, which
will take two or three days, there
will be trip to see how all works,
and then, if Saturday is fine, the
speed trip will be undertaken.

OUR CHIEF IN CHICAGO.
The Head OF the Rock Island Police Talks

The Head Of the Rock Island Police Talks
with supt. brennan and Reporter.
Chief of Police Sexton, of Rock ISL
and, had a long conference with
Supt. Brennan yesterday in regard
to the meeting Of the Illinois Union
Chiefs of Police, which is TO be held
at Aurora Nov. %. says the Chicago
Herald of today. The most import
ant subject" said Mr.. Sexton, THAT
will be considered at our meeting
will be a scheme to divorce the po-
lice from politics. 1 do not know
how that happy result can be accom-
plished, but an interchange of views
on the question at our meeting may
help to bring it about. ! think il
we can agree on plan that we will
experience no difficulty in securing
the necessary legislation at SPRING
field. 1t may seem strange to the
public, but it is never' heless true,
that those who are the most DESTROYS
of having the police divorced from
politics are the police themselves. l
have not met a policeman in any city
"hO "ouiu uos ~ 40 q oOOh W
be relieved of political influence"
Good Scheme.
These views we're concurred in BY
Supt. Brennan, the plan of the asso-
citation, as voiced by Chief Sexton,
being to have bill passed by the
Legislature providing for the appoint
ing of board of police commission
ers for every city and town in the
state of Illinois containing a popula-
ton of so many people, said boards
to have control of the workings of
the police departments OF their re-
spective cities or towns, thereby ex-
pecting to accomplish one of the
prime objects of the association. by
separating and removing the differ
ent police departments as far as pos
sible from the effects of politics. and
raising the standard of efficiency of
police departments throughout the
entire state.

TIE EASTERN WAR

The japanese seem to have learned
the art of modern warfare very thor
oughly, and their recent crushing victory
at Ping Yung was an illustration of the
highest principles of the art as practiced
by such masters of war as Grant. Sher-
man, Sheridan and Thomas They as
saulted at daybreak, with columns at
lacking simultaneously the front, TANKS
and rear, caught the Chinese mapping
IN more senses than one, and utterly
overwhelmed them, with small loss to
themselves. No European or American
commander could have done better. On
the other hand, the Chinese suffered
from their ignorance of the principles of
modern warfare, and their old-fogy de-
termination not to learn them. Like
all Eastern peoples, they throw out no
pickets and take no precautions against
surprise. 1t is this which has enabled
the English to win such surprising sue
cesses in their wars with imperfectly-
civilized peoples, and to which they owed
their victory over the Egyptians at Tel
el-kebir. Strange as it may seem,
picket-duty and scouting are strictly
civilized accomplishments, and barbar
Gus people do not practice them. Even
our Indians do not, which accounts for
the many surprises our troops have been
able to infict upon them.
1t is probable that the japanese vic
tory VIII be decisive, and practically end

the war. The main Chinese army III
Korea has been destroyed, and the in.
ability of any Chinese army as at pres.
ent organized to cope with the japanese
has been demonstrated. China will
probably make peace at once, and go to
work organizing forces on a Western
basis to try it again with Japan at some
future time. ,
The other alternative is that the
japanese, flushed with victory, may de-
cline to enter into negotiations, which
China will try to open to secure time,
but march directly on Peking, and
dictate peace from the ruins of the
Chinese capital. In 1860 the English
and French took Peking with force of
$4,000 men. Probably the Chinese are
in no better shape for defense than they
were then, and, if so, Japan can easily
send an army which will capture the
