THE call of the Democratic central
committee of Illinois for State conven-
ton to be held at Springfield on the 4th
of June next, was issued Yesterday. and

states that all other issues have been
practically settled and that the only
national question now before the Ameri-

ing to Chairman Henrichsen of the COM
mittee, ninety per cent of the Demo-
Gratis of the State of Illinois favor the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to l. Independent Of the
action of any foreign government. This
movement, he predicted, will spread
from Illinois to every State in the
Union. and carry the Democrats into
power in 1896 with sweep and hi.r-
rah. Silver, he is confident, will rise
steadily in price as the movement in
augurated yesterday progresses, and by
the time the Congress elected in 1896
passes bimetallic law the question of
parity will already have been settled.
His views are of very roseate hue, to
say the least.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Biggest on Earth.

Manager Hooper has secured w. S.
Cleveland's Big Massive, double min
strels for next Wednesday night, which
is positively the largest and latest
thing in minis.relsy; really three big
shows seen in the engagement.
w. S. Cleveland has always been con.
ceded to be the leader in minstrelsy,
and this season he has collapsed all for :
mer records and set the theatrical world,
and general public, to thinking, and
amazed them all in the consolidation OF
the largest enterprise in the world.
The company consists OF one all white
star minsrrels, presenting modern, up
to date minstrelsy, with all of the new
novelties, songs, dances, specialties,
etc, and one genuine ell black company
presenting old time minstrelsy, old
time melodies, picaninny dances, plan
tation scenes, etc.
In addition to the two distinct separ.
ate minstrel companies Mr. Cleveland
has recently added Benz Zoug Zoug's
Arab Circus, numbering eleven genuine
Moorish Arabs in their unique speciality
of acrobat feats; in fact an entire train
loaded with people, baggage and scenery

One Of the many hits of this gigantic
enterprise is their magnificent street

uation OF music from the time the pa

which, by its wholesome merriment,
bright melodies and Its pretty girls, has
obtained such foothold on our theatre.
going people, comes to the Academy of
Music on next Thursday night with all
new scenery, including the famous ele-
plant, and every costume Is absolutely
new, and it is said that this seasons
production will be the most sumptuous
ever produced. The well-remem bered
role Of Mateya, the crown prince of
Siam, is assumed by Miss Virginia Earl,
dainty, petite and pretty soubrette.
who made such prominent and in
Simultaneous success last season. The
part of the widow Is in the hand of Miss
Marion Singer, who was the original
widow in the first production.
The plot of Wang" that most popu-
lar Of all the comic operas of recent
years, is made all the more pat at this
time by the recent political troubles
OF this opera being laid in the latter
country. The story of the opera-and
IL is very largely historical despite it's
burlesque character-deals with the
troubles Of Wang, regent of Siam, and
uncle and guardian of Mataya, the
crown prince. The latter is imbued
with modern European notions. and is
not at all docile under his uncle's
guardianship. The regent has reigned
for several years in proverty.str cken
sort of way, owing to the fact that the
late king before his death concealed all
the royal treasures, and their hiding
place has never been discovered. Chief
among his troubles is debt for q
sacred white elephant which he has
bought from the king of Cam bodia, and
for the purchase of which ENJOYS from
that country are constantly dunn1ng
him.
A letter intended for the crown prince
Is intercepted and through it the regent
learns that the treasure chest Ia in the
possession of the widow Of the late
French consul, who was instructed by
the late king to deliver it to the prince
when he reached his majority.
The story of the opera deals with the
efforts of the regent TO gain possession
of the chest. Fooled in every other
design, he Is finally forced to marry the
ancient widow and assume the care Of her
innumerable but pretty daughters, with
one OF whom, Marie, the crown prince is
in love. After this sacrifice, and after
many complications, the chest is at last
delivered to the regent, who is Mortified
to find it empty.
As the crown prince is about to as.
cend the throne he finds the treasure
in the coronation robes Satisfied with
his riches he marries the pretty daugh-
ter OF the widow and resigns the throne
to Wang.
The opera with all the catchy music
that has been the rage for three seasons,
and with it's wealth OF pretty girls,
oriental scenery and accurately gor-
geous Siamese costumes, will be heard
in Roanoke Thursday, April Ii. Seats
will go on sale Monday morning.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS STOLEN.
Alleged Misrepresentation OF a Half nIil
siion by Politicians.

zion by politicians.
CHICAGO, April 4.-The Post prints a
sensational story tonight regarding
the disappearance of $500, GOO Demo
cratic campaign fund. The Post states
that the managers of the recent city
campaign in which the Democratic
nominee, Wenter, was defeated, charge
his defeat to lack OF necessary funds
and also charge that an enormous sum
had been appropriated by five or six
men high in the Democratic political
circles of the city.
The fund, the Post says, was raised
by assessment of city hall employees and
others, and amounted to about $500, 900
The Wenter managers claim to have
positive proof that the fund existed
prior to the last election, buessy they
were unable to get any of it for cam l.
paign expenses. The reputable men Of
the Democratic party are said to have
become so thoroughly aroused over the
affair that they will endeavor to secure
an invest gstion and promise startling

United States, to adjuat and settle all
claims by aliens to lands in Samoa.
Tho report shows that the total number
of claims filed before the commission
was 5,04s, sggregating 1901, 500 acres;
whereas there are only 100000 acres
in all the islands. OF the total
number of claims, only 3O7 were by
Americans, the vast bulk Of which was
rejected, leaving them in possession of
about 81, 900 acres. Mr.. Chambers says
he heard of only nineteen bona fde

there are thirty Americans there all

this report it is hardly probable that
the tripartite agreement into which
this government has entered for the
preservation Of peace on the islands
will long be observed by the United
States. The islands are too far away
to be reached, even by the Monroe

IT Ia authoritatively announced that
General Harrison ia candidate for
the Republican nomination for Presi-
dent. His friend, General j. s. Clark
son. says he sis not an active csn-
didate" for the honor, but is certainly
q receptive one." The American peo-
pie have been aware for some time that
the ex President would not object to
another taste of power, the sweetness
OF which, judging by the examples of
other Presidents, must be very great;
since all, excepting Washington, when
the opportunity offered did not object
TO proiongation of their stay in the
White House. President Hayes an
nounced before his election that one
term WAS all he desired, and, as
the result showed, 1t was all that he
could get. Mr.. Cleveland made SINH
lar declaration when first nominated,
but he has already been elected Presi.
dent twice, and it is reported from
Washington that he would not object to
holding the office again. AS to this
statement, however, his not probable
that Mr.. Cleveland would depart from
the rule laid down by the father of his
country, the immortal Washington, but
barring the question of three terms,
the United States could not find safer
and more patriotic man for President
than the present incumbent.

dollars of capital Is said to be at

cheaper telephone service in this city
and all over tho United States must
inevitably result. Tho present charges
keep msny who would gladly avail
themselves of the benefits, from using
phones; but with an active COM
petitor in the fold against the
Bell monopoly prices should be so
reduced as to put telephones not only
within the reach of every business
man, but available at many homes.
where under present conditions, they
can not now be used. People. however,
are not waiting for the advent of the
new company, but in many cities have
already organized corporations for a
determined fight against the present
monopoly With cheaper phones will
be freer, fuller and easier communica-
ton all over the city, and in the
surrounding country, and, in conse-
quence, q greater increase of business
with the facilities for transacting it.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
No Material Change Has Occurred Since
the Holiday Scason-Largc Failures for
the First Three Days of the Year.

NO Material Change Has Occurred Since
the Holiday Scason-Largc Failures for
the First Three Days of the Year.
By the United Press.
New York, Jan. 11.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
will say:
Neither the beginning of the new year
nor the failure of the currency bill has
brought any material change to busi-
ness as yet. The idea that business
would suddenly take new start after
the holidays had rather less founda-
ton even than usual, but the hope of
strong revival little later is still cher
ished by many. The currency bill with
Its possibilities of vicious amendments
was a source of apprehension to some,
but with that out of the way the de-
ficiency of treasury receipts remains,
and exports of gold do not cease. Ex-
changes through principal clearing
houses are 30 per cent. larger than last
year, but 2i.2 per cent. less than in
1893. There has been much time for
change in the Industries, but differences
observed since the new year began are
larger demand. There are more indi-
cations than of late that stocks of diff
ferent kinds of goods have been ac-
cumulating in consequence of past in
crease in production.
The weekly output of pig iron Jan. /,
reckoning in some furnaces only tenn
pOrarily out of blast for the holidays or
repairs, was 16S,4l4 tons, against 16S,-
1852 on Dec. |, showing practically no
change. But stocks of unsod pig in
creased during the month about 10000
tons weekly, so that actual consump-
ton in the manufacture seems to have
been about 14S,O00 tons weekly against
$4,000 in November. In any case the
industry is doing slightly better than a
year ago, when the output was less
than 100000 tons, but indications of eX-
cess of production over demand are
found in further weakness of prices.
Failures for the first three days of the
year were rather large, liabilities
81, 1,622, 2O3, of which $26S,33l were of
manufacturing and $l,347 ,272 of trading
concerns. Failures this week are 42C
in the United States against 474 last
year, and "a in Canada against 81 last
year.
