Next Thursday and Friday Law

ropolitan actor, who for number of
years occupied the prominent posi-
ton of leading man of the ever-to-
aforementioned Booth and Barrett
company. will appear at the Burtis.
Mr.. Hanlcy will produce his we'll
known play called The Player"
which is a legitimate comedy adapted
from "Garrick," and in which one
hour will be devoted to Shakespeare,
and two hours to the drama itself.
Mr.. Hanley will impersonate his
favorite role of Hamlet, or he will
appear in the balcony scene of
Romeo and Juliet This is the
third annual tour of Mr.. Hanley, and
he is said to be very successful. The
very best and familiar lines of
Shakesperian plays are condensed in
brief but pleasing entertainment.
These are given in The prologue,
which is really but an introduction
to the play itself. The plot of The
Player" is strong reminder Of
"Garrick. There is love-smitten
girl. the distinguished actor. the dis
senting parent, the agreement to
disenchant the girl, the assumption
Of intoxication, and the natural fine
acting necessary for a proper. produc-
ton of the play. MIR. Hanley is a
very capable man, and his engage
ment and hers should bring out a
large audience. His company this
season includes Misses f. Bennett,
Louise Hashaw and Marion Watts.
The gentlemen are Charles Sutton.

The Kucheng Massacre to Be Thoroughly h.

Washington, Aug. 13.-A cablegram re- ceived at the state department today from J. c. HiXson. United States consul at Foo Chow, reports the departure from that place of the British and American ministers to investigate the Kuching massacre. MT. Hutchins is a member of the commission, and he is accompanied by Ensign Waldo Evans of the Detroit as the other American representative. The recognition of the joint commission as an official body whose conclusions shall be binding has not been accorded by the United States.-Sueh -authoIjza- ton could not be given by Minister Den by, but by the SeSi etary of et~le or president only. It is said at the state de- partment that MT Denby has the entire ma liter in charge and made all arrange
 ments respecting the commission without explicit instructions from Acting Secre- tary Adee As to how fer the commits sioners will act conjointly the state de
 partment has no Knowledge, and will
 leave it to the discretion of the Amercian
 republic whether they will join the Brit
 ish officials in making the same report to
 both governme nts. As the conclusions reached and recommendations made by the commission will not be binding on
 this government, it is not a matter of concern whether the commissioners agree or not.
 Whatever they report, whether jointly or separately, will not interfere with ne- gotiations between Great Britain and the
 United States as to what course shall be pursued if both nations think it desirable to make a joint protest or demand As matters stand at present the Washington government is free to do as it pleases, to proceed separately in relation to it's overtures to the Chinese government on to act in concert with Great Britain in the premises.
 Consul Reed at Tien Tsin cabled the state department today that there was cholera at Tien Tsin and Chee Foo. This information may have a bearing on the Chinese trouble, because the United States flagship Baltimore has gone to Chee Foo in order that Admiral Carpen- ter may be in close telegraphc commun- cation with Minister Denby. The navy department is exceedingly careful about allowing any naval vessel to remain at an unhealthy port, and the Baltimore and the gunboat Machas which is also at Chee Foo, may be compelled to go else where
