The schooner Golden Gate, which sailed
from this port May 26, chartered by num-
Der of miners for the Alaskan coast, re-
one of the party. came back in the vessel
with samples of rich gold and silver taken
from the mine which they have located
near Kelikof Straits. The rest of the party
are at the mine, engaged in taking out
rock and preparing for extensive operations
next season.
D. ii. Murphy, an employee of the Alaska
Packing Association, returned from Kar-

has named them Suffer and Fremont. and
when they can eat meat they will be

not done with any feeling of resentment
or retaliation on my part, but as matter
of truth, for have not the slightest doubt
that the strikers were alone responsible for

this from facts and incidents that came to

At The CITY PLAYHOUSES,
Rose Coghlan and Dixey in
twelfth Night" at the
Columbia.
"HARBOR LIGHTS" AT MoRosCOs.
"Too Much Johnson" 1.-THE Roya
MILDLY" and the Swans Draw
Large Houses.

The Stockwell company presented
''Twelfth Night" last night at the Colum-
bia Theater to large and reasonably en-
thusiastic audience.
The performance is creditable one; il
is carefully though not sumptuously staged
and the cast includes actors OF no mean
reputation. But, with perhaps one excep-
ton, none of these people has won that
reputation in Shakespearian roles.
Miss Coghlan is an actress of experience,
of intelligence, of considerable degree OF
talent. She plays Viola as such an actress
plays every role-with pleasing clearness
of enunciation, graceful appreciation
of her part and a no less pleasing
thoroughness and honest effort to
do good work. She makes Viola, there
fore, an ordinarily winning young woman,
placed by circumstances in an unusual
situation. She has sufficient sensibility to
suggest the various emotions the disguised
page feels, but she has not the art to
bring home to her audience the realiZa-
ton of feeling which would viyify and
illumine the story. Her Viola is accept
able, gracious, natural; but it is not
charming; it is not lovable. 1t is COM
mon-place Viola; it lacks sparkle and sem
timent; it does not take possession of the
listener and bewitch him to believe i'm
probable things.
Miss Coghlan was at her best in the dull
scene with Sir Andrew and in the pretty
speech where she first intimates Viola s
love to the Duke.
Dixey makes very good Malvolio. In
the scene where he appears before Olivia
yellow-stockinged and cross-gartered he
aroused the heartiest applause of the even
ing.
StockwelPs Sir Toby lacks mellowness,
for Stockwell himself is not at ease in the
new-to him old-world in which Shakes
peare's Sir Tobies lived and hourished.
His utterance is indistinct and he does
not know how to blend the knight with
the roysterer. His buffoonery with Sir
Andrew is the nearest approach to Shakes
perian fun, but Stockwell is distinctly OF
this century and also of this country. He
is hopelessly American; fact which has
made his modern characterlzatlonS very
enjoyable. but which renders Sir Toby
flavorless and uninviting.
Barrymore fills not very prominent
part as the Duke. Beach plays Sebastian.
Keirns' Sir Andrew is a praiseworthy carl
cature. Miss Knowlton is a rather tame
but sweetly melancholy Olivia, and Maude
Winter plays Maria with intelligence and
skill, although her performance needs
toning down.
Such company could not give an alto
gether unworthy production, but such q
| company could and should do much bet.
ter. Their Twelfth Night does not leave
the impression of delicacy, of grace, Of
brilliancy which fingers after p Shakespe
rian comedy fittingly interpreted.
| Shakespeare should be something sacred
to the actor. To play Shakesperian role
well is to confer knighthood upon oneself
StockwelPs company remains among the
commoners. MIRIAM NICHOLSON.

tory to the opening of the convention on
Monday next.
The most recently invited local speakers
are Samuel Shortridge, ID. M. Deimas, A.
R. Cotton, A. ]. Booth, Hon. Samuel Hill
born and Hon. George c. Perkins.
The fact that the Hon. Thomas J. Clunie,
who is the executive member for California
of the Bimetallic Union, has accepted a
seat on the league committee may be con-
sidered as an indication of the harmony
and sympathy prevailing between the two
great bimetallic organizations of the
United States.
The following communication has been
received from Senator Blackburn of
Kentucky:

Morosco,s Opera-House.

"The Harbor Lights" masterpiece of the
melodramatic art was presented at the Morosco
Opera-house last evening as it never has been
presented before in this City. The scenery was
painted from eleven photographs of the places
represented, and is as realistic as ever was
placed on any stage. In the first act Radcliffe
on-the-Sea, and in the third the deck of H. NJ.
ship Britannia, are perfect. or as perfect as
such scenes can be reproduced in theater.
The cast Is large one. Gustavus Levick, as lieu
tenant of the Britannia, presented in strong
light the sailor hero, and Maud E. Hail. as Dora
Vane, the Lieutenant's affianced, displayed in
marked manner the talent that has marked
her as a sympathetic actress. Fl. Coulter
Brinker as Nicholas Moreland, the villain, gave
carefully studied piece of acting. The cut
lass drill on the deck of the man-pf-war by a
corps of marines was one of striking features of
the play-one which excited the audience to q
high pitch. This melodrama will prove q
drawing card to this ever popular house.
