Distressed Tradesmen.

LONDON, March S.-Terrible dis tress prevails in the north of Eng land owing to the lack of employ ment through the widespread depression of trade and the unusual severity of the weather The closing of the immense steel works at Dar- lington has thrown between 2,000 and 5000 men cut of work. At a special meeting of the Board of Guardians held on Monday the Local Government Inspector said that the steel works directors should be asked whether there was any pros pect of the works to be re-opened, as if not it would be wiser to advise the men to seek work elsewhere. 1t was asserted at meeting of the Sunde- land unemployed that there were more than 5000 men unable to ob- tain work in that town. A resOlu- ton was passed declaring it to be the duty of the State to guarantee non-pauperizing employment, and calling upon the Imperial and local authorities to find work for the un- employed.

Not Comnetent to Jndge.

The editor of the Commercial gave vent to his feelings yesterday and severely criticised the singing of Miss Yaw, who, with her concert company, appeared at the Opera house Tuesday evening.
 Miss Yaw has received the highest words of praise in press notices all over the United States, and the edi- tor of the Commercial is the only one who has seen fit to adversely criticise her.
 When Q GRAPHIC reporter showed her the article referred to, and asked her opinion of the author, she merely replied:
 "Well, it would seem rather con ceited in me to praise myself, but I do not consider the editor of the Commercial competent to judge of songs or singers, good or bad, and, besides, it will not injure me, for l believe l could walk out of the cir culation of the Commercial in half an hour And after all those harsh words of the Majors, she sang to one of the largest audiences of the season in Little Rock last evening.

Smith X Robinson
A Big Railroad Sufu.

DENVER, March S.-The differences between the Gulf road and the Rio GraRde are having re-hearing be- fore Judge Hallett in the Federal court today. The controversy is one growing out of the joint contract existing between the Gulf and Rio Grande, by which the former used the Rio Grande's tracks between Pueblo and Trinidad. The time having come for a renewal of the contract the inability of the two roads to come to a satisfactory agreement has brought the matter into court. There has been some talk of the G Gulf building a line parallel to the Rio Grande from Pueblo to Trinidad in case it fails to make satisfactory terms for the renewal of the existing ee9traet.

'Janep
 Has had the most remarkable and successful career of any comedy farce entertainment in recent years. That seems rather q broad satte- ment to make, but the plain 4acts will substantiate it. Four years ago "Jane" was imported to Madison Square Theatre in New York, from London where it had already com- pleted q highly prosperous year. At the very hottest time of an unusually hot summer, "Jane" made her bow to the New York public and convulsed audiences that sat in melted collars and found themselves finding com pansa ton in the novelty and bright ness of the new piece. After four months in New York, ''Jane'' went on the road, making a tour to the Pacific coast and then back to New York for another long engagement.
