JANE" MAKES A HIT.
Comedy-Tarce of High Order at the
 Capital.

''Jane, bright and breezy com cdy, was given at the Capital The ater last night before a fair-sized audience. The play is splendid specimen of legitimate comedy and appeals to the best tastes of the theater-goers. It has received the unqualified endorsement wherever presented, and it's popularity has not diminished with increasing years. It convulses an audience with the vein of merriment run ming through the acts; in fact ii produces hilarity spontaneously. Four years ago Jane" was i'm ported from London, and in this country has continuously achieved success as a comedy-farce enter tainment. Presented by an unusu- ally strong company, it stands as one of those high-class attractions which should test the capacity of any theater in which it is produced. Little Rock Gazette, March 9.

our Coming Couneilmen.

Many of our people are urging Mir. J. M. Hightower, the affable and popular accountant for Jno. H. Talbot & Co.,, to become a candidate for Alderman from the Fourth ward Mir. Hightower is well qualified for the position and we trust that he may see fit to accept the wishes of his friends and become q candidate.
 Messrs. Galbraith, Howell and Atkinson will, doubtless, again con- sent to serve the city for another term. They have been of vast beEe- fit to the city in their official capaci- ties as Aldermen, and they will, if they so wish, be reelected by over whelming majorities against any other candidates that might enter the field.

 A Musical -Treaf.

Saturday afternoon the Cotton Belt Cornet Band, "diked' out in their beautiful and showy uniforms, marched down Main street to Second avenue and back again to Hotel Trulock to the grandest music that has been heard in Pine Bluff in many days. On their arrival at the hotel the band repaired to the balcony and rendered several selections in a man. ner that would have been creditable to any band in the country. At the conclusion of each piece the band was loudly applauded by the admiring and appreciative audience that had assembled.
 Pine Bluff is, and has cause to be, very proud of the Cotton Belt Cornet Band. It members are clever, hgh-toned gentlemen, and each and every member of the band is first class musician. and as musical organization, should it continue to improve as it has in the past few months, it will acquire a great re- nown ill the South and Vest The band already has a contract to fur nish the music for the Cattlemen's s convention, at Fort Worth, Texas, and will leave for that city this af- ternOon. The band will appear in Fort Worth on this occasion in the same uniforms that they wore in the parade here last afternoon.

AT THE CAPITAL. An EVentful Week in
 Little Rock. Several Exciting Epi- sodes in the House.
No Small Pox at the Capital--Other
 News.

LITTLE RocK ARK, March 9.- Today marks the close of an event ful and exciting week in the "City of Roses. The public has not lacked for sports, sensations or amusement. There has been scene after scene, and sensation after sen sation, until even the most sensa- tional has had quite enough. Not even the halls of the serene and sa gacious legislator has been spared, for in the House this week there have been a number of exciting epi- sodes which have had but few pre- cedents or parallels in out States history. The very walls have re- sounded with declamatory declama- tions and the clash of resounding arms. The disturbance of the tran quillity of the legislators is due to certain publications in the Memphis Commerctal-4ppeal charging athat the railway commission bill was de- feated in the House by the Iron Mountain lobby, which is said. to have employed unholy means to ac- complish it's purpose. This feeling was greatly intensified by the pulp lication of an interview with Gov. Clarke in the aforesaid Memphis newspaper Monday. The Governor went quite out of his way to gratui- tously insult and asperse the mem- bers of the House, and, as was nat urally to be expected, both the Com n,ercial-Appeaz and the Governor came in for a good share of abuse. Representative Bradley made an able defense of his colleagues and him. self from the aspersions, and on the following day Representative Mon- roe paid his respects to the Governor in a very vehement and unmistakable manner. These two speeches alone afforded the public something to talk about for several days, not to say anything about small pox, an extension of the Leg islative session and baseball.
 Notwithstanding the exciting epi- sodes above mentioned, both houses have done considerable work during the week. After much debate and many ballots, the session was ex- tended to April 10 and many bills of more or less importance passed in the House. The week has been one of unwonted activity in the Senate, a large number of bills on third read ing having been disposed of. among the most important of which was the Pinnix election bill, which was passed, and the bill regulating pro ceedings in pleading and practice in the Jefferson Chancery court, which is especially important to the peo- pie of this county and which now needs only the Governors signature to become a law. Another bill of importance to the people of Jeffer- son county is bill to authorize a re funding of it's bonded indebtedness which was introduced by Senator Adams in the Senate yesterday, and which also provoked pleasant "tilt" between the gentleman from Jefferson and the Senator from Pu- laski, Col. B. D. Williams.

A HARRISON LEGACY.
Colombia to Present Claim for
RetaliatOry Damages.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Gen. Rem
gifo, the representative here of the re-
public of Colombia, expects to be au-
thoriZed by his government to present
claim against the United States for
damages sustained by Colombia by rea-
son of President Harrison's proclama-
ton of tariff retaliation. Gen. Rem
gifo is not able to estimate the amount
of the claim, as he has not yet re-
ceived instructions from his govern
ment, but he says there is no doubt OF
the fact that the claim will be pre-
Sented. 1t is based on the retaliatory
proclamation issued shortly before the
close of the last administration. Sec
retary Blaine had effected reciprocity
relations with most of the South
and Central American republics. But
Colombia and a few other countries re-
fused to make such treaties. They
were warned that if they held out
against reciprocity they would be retail
lated against. This failing to effect an
arrangement, thereupon, at the sugges-
ton of Secretary of State John w.
Foster who had succeeded Mr.. Blaine,
President Harrison proclaimed discrim-
mating tariff rates against the coffee,
hides, sugar and molasses of Colombia.
This practically ruined the trade of
Colombia, as her coffee and hides
could not be sent to this country
against the competition of Brazil, Mex
leo and other countries which enjoyed
freedom from duties under their reci-.
procity treaties. These exports to the
United States reached about 100000
pesos "a peso being worth about As
cents), but Immediately after the proc
lamation they fell to. almost nothing.
Colombia protested against the retail
alton, claiming that the most favored
nation clause of the treaty with the
United States protected her against tar
iff discrimination. Secretary Foster
and the Colombian minister, Senior
Hurtado, carried on sharp and very
personal correspondence, and the min
lister finally left Washington with the
statement that he would not return
until a settlement was affected. No
settlement was ever made, and the sub
mission of Colombia's claim for losses
sustained will be the result.

SO SAYS MIR. CARTER.
Republicans Will Stand for Pro-
lection and BimetaIIism.

NEW YORK, May 31.-Thomas H.
Carter, chairman of the Republican
National committee, in a public state
ment says: "In 1896 the Republican
party will stand for protection, and
the restoration of bimetallism on a
substantial and enduring basis. There
may be differences of opinion in the
party on the tariff schedules, but not
upon the principle of protection. There
will be differences of opinion as to the
best course to pursue to secure the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver at fixed ratio. But there
will be no difference Of opinion as to
the desira bility of bringing about that
result. Upon one question there will
be neither difference of opinion as to
the general principle involved or as
to the means to be employed. That is
with reference to the restoration of a
vigorous, thoroughly American for
eign policy. 1 am persuaded that the
Republican national convention will
pledge the party anew and with great
earnestness and force to this line of
policy. The people demand it. They
are conscious of their strength, and
they realize that this republic can no
longer be referred to as merely a ma
ton. They know that it has become
and is a nation"

NATIONAL MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
REACHES AN IMPORTANT
CONCLUSION.
Municipal Government Demands
the Devoted Service of All
in Classes of Citizens.

CLEVELAND, May 31.-The morn
ing session of the National Municipal
league today was marked by some
what smaller attendance, the reason
being, no doubt, that the warm
weather prevented many spectators
from participating in the sessions. The
first paper of the morning was that of
Charles Richardson, the first vice
president of the league. His sub
ject was Municipal Government and
National Parties" He was followed
by T. l.. Milliken, who spoke on the
municipal condition Of San Francisco.
E. 0. Graves, of Seattle, Wash, and
Thomas n. Strong, of Portland, Or,
made addresses on the same subject
in connection with their respective
cities. Prof. A. w. Small, of the Uni
versity of Chicago, read a paper on
1.-The Civic Federation of Chicago
Prof. Small dweE at length on the
organization and history of the fed
GRAFTON in his city and state, and
stated that civic conscience began in
Chicago with a mass meeting held
in 1898 by William T. Stead, of Lon
don. The federation was comprehens-
i've rather than factional. 1t did not
assume that school teachers were the
best people to draft revenue laws,
nor that ministers are likely to be
competent inspectors of sanitary con-
ditions; nor that politicians would do
good service in regulating educa-
tional and religious enterprises. Pres
ident Frederick Elliott, of the Brook
lyn Enforcement society, read a pa
per which detailed the work done by
the society in the recent social cru
sade in New York. Rev. Donald Mac
Laurin, D. D., of Detroit, read very
interesting paper on the municipal
conditions existing in that city. He
concluded by asking that the league
conference should suggest a radical
and humane treatment for dealing
with the social evils in cities. The
general conclusion, which was reached
after the presentation of testimony
from all sections, is that the chief
source Of city misgovernment is the in
trusion of national party organiza-
tions into the domain Of city politics.

st. Paul CIergyman,s Statement at
Baptist Anniversary,


SARATOGA, N. Y, May 31.-At the
Baptist anniversary today, Rev. e. r.
Pope, of st. Paul, general secretary
for Minnesota, spoke on Minnesota's s
religious development. He said that
the combined communicates of Roman
Catholic and Lutheran churches in the
state outnumber those of all other re-
1glous bodies four to one. Roman
catholics have multiplied six times to
Protestants' eleven times. Let ten
people pass by, representing the re-
ligious status of Minnesota's popula
ton, six Of these would be outside the
membership of all religious organiza-
tlons, two would be Roman Catholics,
one would be Lutheran, and the other
would represent all other denomina-
tlons, orthordox, heterodox, and no
dox at all. AT the most conservative
estimate there must be at least 200, 900
people, one in six, of Minnesota's pop-
ulation, who are not connected even
in the loosest way, with any religious
organization. This evenings session
concluded the sixty third anniversary
Of the American Baptist Home Mis-
sion society. An address on Mex
leo" was read by Rev. DIR. HI.
Moorehouse, of New York. Joseph L.
Howard, of Connecticut, submitted a
report of the committee, showing that
the plans of cooperation in mission
work between societies of different Sec
tions of the country were successfully
completed last spring. The matter of
"Co-operation in the South" was dis
cussed at some length by Rev. ]. v.
Hawthorne, of Atlanta, Ga. Rev. T.
T. TishcociS, of Mount Vernon, N. Y,
also spoke on Cooperation in the

A PoLYGAMoUs POINT.
Does Belief Alone Constitute 81
PoIygamist:

WASHINGTON May a.-An inter
esting question has arisen in the treas
ury department which involves the le-
gal meaning of the word polygamist.
Commissioner General Stumpf, of the
immigration bureau, has received ap-
plications for admissions in this coun-
try of Robert Stenson, his wife Kate,
Barbara Hunton, Lizzie Naylor and
seven children. These immigrants re-
Gently arrived at Quebec, Canada, from
Glasgow, Scotland, and in their affi-
davits state that they are Mormons in
religion and full believers in polygamy,
and that each intends to practice pc
lygamy if so inclined on reaching their
destination, Salt Lake City. The ques-
ton involved is whether belief in po-
lygamy of tself, and in the absence of
proof of any polygamous act, brings
the party within the inhibition of the
law declaring that polygamists shall
not be admitted into this country.
Acting Secretary Wike has the subject
under consideration. Mr.. Stumpf is
of the opinion that the parties should
be debarred admission.
