The Play Was Not a success in London at

LONDON, July 6.-The cooler weather
of the past week has had favorable ef-
feet on the attendance at the theaters.
Daly's came in for a fair share of
the patronage, including several mem
bers of the royal family. The prOduc-
tion of 'sTwo Gentlemen of Verona" has
excited much diverse criticism. There
has been praise for the manner in which
it is mounted, and objection for the man
ner in which Mr.. Daily interpolated music
in Shakespeare's text Ada Rehan and
James Lewis have been highly COM

Increase Is Given.
CHICAGO, July 6-The Pullman Palace
Car company has advanced the wages
of the employees at the Pullman shops 10
per cent, the advance affecting about 4, GOO
people. No formal announcement has
been made by the company of its action,
as the advance has been gradual. taking
effect in various departments at differ
ent times during the last two weeks.
Vice President Wicks in discussing
the matter today said that the company
had assured its men last year. when the
great strike was ordered that wages
would go up as soon as business condi-
tions would permit, and that the present
increase in salaries was simply the full
fillment of the promise made then.
The advance coming, as it does,
just a year since the railroad
companies we're tied up in the effort to
compel such an increase is regarded by
labor leaders as strange, but the officials
of the company deny that any signifi-

ROSEBERY To MARRY
Report Says He'll Wed Prince
of Wales Daughter.
The Rumor is Credited by Those
Who Know.
THE QUEEN PLEASED.
Victoria is Said to Desire the
Intended Match.
She Has Shown Particular
FavOrs to ROSebery.

LONDON, July 6-The rumOr that
Lord Rosebery is to marry one of the
Prince of Wales daughters is revived
this week. and it is said he may relin-
quish politics entirely.
1t is understood that the queen would
not offer any opposition to the match.
Rosebery continues to be her great per
sonal favorite as her bestowal on him of
the late Duke of Hamiltou's Order of
the Thistle indicates.
Lord Rosebery already possesses the
Order of the Garter, and it is extremely
rare for any one except of royal blood 20
hold both orders, the only other instances
on record being the cases of the Earl of
Aberdeen and the Duke of Argyle.

this afternoon filed its report with Gov

The report shows that the entire Pop
ulist board of charities was incompetent
and the reports conclude with
the statement that mem bers of the COM
mittee would have rather seen members
of their families in their graves than in
the Topeka asylum under the manage
ment of the last two years.
The report shows that Senator House
holder received $4,5OO for his services
during the last two years and that he did
almost everything that was mean.
Captain W. 8. Wait was found guilty
of interfering with the management of
| the asylum, and that if DR.. McCasey was
| incompetent he should have been dis
charged and not retained and hampered
or interfered with while he was superin-
tendent
The members of the old board of char
tiles are found guilty of accepting cof
fee and other groceries and merchan-
from state contractors in the nature of
brbes and spending too much time and
money travelling about to the state in
