speare's Cleopatra" at the Opera
House last night. The production on
the whole was very pleasing. The
stage settings and costumes were rich
and handsome. The cast was fair.
Miss Lewis as Cleopatra was disap-
pointing at times, and at other times
her work was really splendid. Mr..
Charles B. Hanford made a strong

utation which he has made in other
roles. The remainder Of the company

\ Meeting to be Held in Pittsburg on Mon
day--An Interstate Agreement Sought.
Pittsburg, Pa, April 5.-The Rail-
road Coal Operators Association will
hold a meeting in this city on Monday.
An effort is being made to bring about
an interstate conference between the
operators and miners of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Pennsylvania. The CO.
operation of Ohio and Illinois has been
secured, but the operators of this dis
trict are holding out, although it is
thought that at Mondays meeting
they may be induced to enter into the
idea. The Ohio operators are said 10
be in favor of the conference because
they want the differential between
Pittsburg and the Hooking Valley
maintained. 1t is believed that if the
conference is accomplished the strike
in this district will be settled.

Reports that she Has Gone to Enforce Brit
ish Demands in Central America.
Washington, d. c., April 5.-Reports
that the British warship Royal Arthur
has touched at Panama on her way to
Nicaragua to enforce British demands
cause some apprehension among Off
cials and diplomats here. The Royal
Arthur is the flagship Of the Pacific
squadron and carries Rear Admiral
Stevenson. K. c. b., commander Of the
feet, although Captain Frederick b.
French is in immediate command. She
is one of the new monsters Of the
British navy having a tonnage Of H.
600, which is greater than the tonnage
of the new American battleships now
building. There is no official confirm
alton of the Royal Arthur's move
ments.
The opinion is expressed by those
familiar with the situation that if
Great Britain resorts to force all of the
Central American republics will ten
der their services to Nicaragua. This
was done year ago when the British
ship Cleopatra landed marines on the
Mosquito territory. 1t was also done
in 1857 when the Walker filibustering
expedition entered that country. The
five Central American republics join
ed hands in the conflict, which lasted
two years. At the present time, how
ever, there is no navy in Central Amer
lea. so that a defensive union could not
but be feeble against such ships as the
Royal Arthur.
London, April 5.-The officials Of the
foreign Office say that they know moth
ing as to a contemplated trip to Mica
ragua of the British flagship Royal
Arthur, which is now at Panama.

Standard Telephone Company, says
that next week the company will take
permanent offices in the Postal Tele-

of the stockholders in the concern.
Mr.. Barnes confirms the statement that
the capital of the company, Sl60,O00,-
600, is all paid up and that there are
fifty different companies chartered and
organized.
He says further:
1--WE have over 200 prominent capi
talists in the United States interested.
We propose to commence our service
this summer in this city with a rate of
SO a month for telephones. We have
purposely kept the matter very quiet

secured the franchise we wanted. 1t is

pany. He sold out day before yester-
day. He was originally interested in
the Standard scheme, but was bought
out by the syndicate. Mr.. Searles left
last night for Arizona, to be gone a
month or more, but among those asso-
ciated with the New York organization
are his nephew, Ennis M. Searles, and
his son-in-law, Winthrop Murray Tut
tie. John E. Searles was president Of
the local company here.
"One of our counsel, Hon. c. H. Aid
rich, who is the counsel also for Milo
G. Kellogg, who controls the only
switchboard that can be used against
the Bell patents, is now in this city
with his client conferring with our
people"
