SEFTON'S COMIC OPERA.
A Powerful Company at the Davis Thcater
This Week.

Probably the best attraction of the
season at Davis ltheater is the comic
opera company which appeared yester-
day and will continue today and tomor-
row. In every respect this company Is
an excellent one and will bring together
crowded house.
The performance commences with the
operetta, China VS.. Japan" which is
brimful of merriment. This is followed
by a number of specially performers in
quick succession, prominent among
them being Jessie Wood and Bella Irv-
ing, descriptive vocallsts, who received
two encores; Brannan and Williams,
two splendid comedians; Nellie and An
ME Hills. graceful dancers, and Tom
and Gertie Grimes.
Sefton, however, Is the greatest OF
all in his inimitable songs and funny
walks during which laughter and
screams of the ladies were quite up
roarious. Mr.. Sefton was encored even
after the curtain fell and was compelled
to appear Ito satisfy the audience.
The performance closes with a short
farce, 1.-The Girl Was Left Behind"
There Is no waiting and the fun is in
cessant from the beginning to the end.

Champions of the Fish and
Game Laws Meet.
Chase S. Osborn, of Sauit Ste. Marie,
Appointed State Game War
den by Governor Rich.

1t now appears that the fondest hopes
OF those who are interested in the
preservation Of the deer oi the upper
peninsula forests were TO be realized.
1t must certainly be admitted that two
events-stepping stones To this result
have transpired within recent days, i. e.,
the appointment by Gov. Rich OF an up
per peninsula man ~ state game and
fish warden and the game preservation
association convention, held in the city
Of Marquette.
On Friday last Mr. Chase S. Osborn, OF
Sault Ste. Marie was appointed by Gov.
Rich as state game warden, for the en-
suing four years. While from personal
point OF view the selection could not
have been more gratifying to the people
OF the upper peninsula, ii has much more
Than personal Specification. IL means
that game OF the upper peninsula will be
iealously protected and that the enact
ment Of more efficient laws will be urged
by that capable gentleman.
The following partial account OF the
proceedings OF the game law convention,
held at Marquette Thursday, is cleaned
from the columns OF yesterdays Daily

THE OUTLOOK.

The Cleveland Iron Trade Reviews Resume OF
the Week in Iron Circles.
There are no sales OF iron ore to report
for the week just closing, but the mining
and selling interests centered in Cleveland
have been busted with the more import
ant matter Of the price basis for 1896.
A good deal OF uniounded rumor Is ahoat,
as always at the approach Of orc-buying
time Talk oi an ore pool has filed
some newspaper space, but has served
NO more useful end As has been pointed
out in these columns on several occa-
sions, the diversity OF interests involved
in ore production and ore carrying; the
considerations compelling operation at
one property, that do not exist mt an
other; the interlacing OF lake and rail In.
forests with those Of certain mining com
pauies and qnite as important as any
reason, the varying constituency and
adaptations Of ores TO the diverse pur-
poses oi furnacemen and steel companies
AL these considerations put pool
out of the question. In the attempt 10
get some consensus as TO price, among
important producers, il Is believed the
condition OF the ore-buying trade has
been well canvassed. What the steel.
maker will pay and what price the ore
trade can maintain, when once price
for standard Bessemers has been named,
are prominent considerations.

MINES COMBINE.
To Control tho Price of Besse-
mer Ore.
Several Big Mines Are In the Deal
and Are Expected TO Demand -
$3.50 for Their ore.

a lumor Of mine combine comes by
way OF Milwaukee as follows:
There have for some time been rumors
about possible combination Of THERON
ore producers for the regulation OF the
output and price for tile coming season.
Indeed this combination has beenalmost
completed, rut IN an entirely different
shape from what has been expected.
Some OF those who hoped 60 be in it are
as ignorant oi the practical close olnego-
tiations us IL the outside world. Instead
of including all tho larger iron ore mines
Oi the Lake Superior region the combine,
as il will finally be formed, will take in
only three, but those three are the biz
ones II is given out on the authority q
one of the chief officers al one of the
companies in the deal that the combine
will not attempt Go regulate production,
nor TO put tie price Of ore alta high
price, but will simply handle most OF the
output Of the mines concerned through
one firm OF brokers, aud will probably
refuse Go sell No ] bessemer ore at less
than $3.50 Il ton az Cleveland
The companies in this combine nre to
be the Minnesota Iron company, the
Metropolitan Land aud Iron company
Of Milwaukee and the Colby group, giving
the Gogebic range the biz cad Of the con
ccrn. out oia total OF about 100000
tons Of strictly bcssemer ore that can bC

looked on to supply about thrccfourths

OF which mine great deal OF bessemel
ore, aud others Of which mine class Q
ore that il used in making bessemei

ores oi other mines, will be III the pool.
The Norre group Of mines will be abb,
TO turn out not less than 1000, ,000toni
oi bcssemer ore ia 1880; the Minnesota
Iron company's Chandler mine vii

900 tons to this. The Colby mines hay,
been so improved aud added 70 in th
last year that they, toe, can make AZ

but these cut but little figure MS indie

How the Constitutional Amendment win

"No one can vote hereafter at an

special class, which is not very numer-
ous-those who had their first papers

day OF November, 1894 This is the
plain reading OF the constitutional
amendment. 1t seems hard to disqualiiy

mentioned. How the amendment will be
