Waite Comedy Co,

Few theatrical managers appreciate the
value of absolutely clean amuselnents.
There are dozens of plays which are
strong IN plot and action, but which,
through some little suggestive features
are not acceptable to thousands of amuse-
ment seekers. James r. Waite is one of
the successful managers who have made
bold stand for the purest and best in
comedy and DRAMA and as result of his
highly creditable discrimination, in
every city in which his company appears,
hundreds are seen in attendance who on

A J0hnstown Horror Occurs Near Epinal,
France.
EPINAL. France, April 29.-An enor-
NOUS reservoir near here has burst, in
undating many villages in the district
and drowning numbers of people, so far
38 corpses having been recovered. The
damage done to property is tremendous.
The great Bousey dyke Of the Epinal
district of the Vosges, it now appears,
burst at o'clock a. m. The cubic
area Of the dyke is 5000, 900 metres. A
great rush of water and much loss of
life followed. 1t is impossible at this
hour to get correct estimate of the
number Of bodies already found, the
indications are that the loss of life will
be very heavy. Enormous damage has
been done in the surrounding country.
Villages Entirely Flooded.
The railways in all directions are in
tcIyupted and large number of villages
are entirely flooded. In some places
the force Of the torrent let loose by the
break in the dyke was SO great that en-
tire houses were swept away and large
trees were torn up by the roots. The
reservoir was situated close to the vii.
lage of Bousey and was connected with
the canal de rEst. The breach caused
by the rush of water is over 100 metres
broad.
The authorities are doing everything
possible to rescue imperiled persons.
Many families are still in danger. The
authorities are also taking steps to pro-
vide relief for the homeless.

ILLINOIS FOR SILVER
Sensation Caused by State
ments Made by Hon. John
Mayo Palmer.
DEMOCRATS TO DECLARE FOR IT
Free Coinage at is to Without
International Agreement.
The Effect.

CHICAGO, April 2O.-The most sensa-
tional political development for many q
day in Chicago, if not in the entire
West has been made public. The COM
ing Democratic convention in Illinois,
will, beyond all doubt, declare for free
silver without international agreement
Of any kind, and the movement is Of
such strength that other Western and
Southern States will be prevented with
great difficulty, if at all, from following
the lead of Illinois. As party, the
Democracy Of Illinois is doomed to dis
organization. The authority for these
statements is Hon. John Mayo
Palmer, corporation counsel Of Chi.
cago, and one of the best known Demo-
Gratis in the state. He is not free
silver man. On the contrary he has q
reputation with the more pronounced
silver element as a decided "gold bug"
Mr.. Palmer is the son of United States
Senator Palmer, who has been leading
the money fight for the national admin
istration in Illinois. The statements
were made in an interview and the
news caused
Widespread Comment and Speculation.
Mr.. Palmer returned to Chicago from
the state capital. He said:
''The sentiment in favor Of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio Of 16 to !, without international
conference or agreement, seems to
have taken complete possession of
the Democracy of Illinois outside OF
Cook county. conferred with men Of
all shades of opinion upon this subject,
Republicans as well as Democrats, I
talked with Republicans, because some
times the lookers-on see more of the
game than the players. met old
friends with whom l could talk conf
dentially, and got the impression that
while there is a very strong and re-
spectacle sentiment throughout the
state in opposition to this currency
theory, yet the opponents of 16 to l,
are without organization, apparently
without any ambition to succeed, and
are singularly silent, while the silver
men are vigorous, active and aggres-
sive.

OFFICIALS ARE NETTlED.
Cfiticisms Of Naval Rations Not Relished
at Washington.

Cfitfcisms OF Naval Rations Not Relished
at Washington.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The officials
OF the navy department are nettled by
the frequent severe criticisms upon the
insufficiency Of the naval ration, which
emanate from Pacific coast ports. They
have no hesitation in ascribing them to
the bum boatmen and the keepers Of
shops patronized by sailors who have
been deprived Of han nisome ''pickings"
from the sailors, by the enforcement Of
the order limiting the number of rations
in a mess that may be commuted, or
turned into cash by the sailors and
spent ashore.
Fixed by Act OF Congress-.
The naval ration is fixed by act of
congress and is not within the power Of
any man, even Of the secretary of the
navy, to change it, either by increase
or diminution. The naval officers as
sert that it is the most liberal Of any
furnished to the sailors Of the naval
powers, and that a vast majority of the
people of America are not as we'll sup
piled with good wholesome food as are
our sailors. The ration, as fixed by law,
includes the following staples, all, it is
said, in sufficient quantity for any per-
son: Bread, -four, pork, beef, preserved
meat, beans, peas, rice, dried fruits,
butter, tomatoes, coffee, tea, cocoa,
sugar, pickles, molasses, vinegar, fresh
meat and vegetables.
Permits Wide Latitude.
When within reach of market the
law is construed as to permit a wide
range of choice of foods under these
general heads. Eor instance the sailor
may have soft bread or biscuit; under
the head of flour he may have cornmeal,
hominy, oatmeal, rye and cracked
wheat. If he tires of beef and pork,
he may try mutton, veal and poultry,
or hs can turn to canned cOrned beet
and mutton, ham, bacon, sausage and
fish. ANY kind of fresh vegetables in
the market may go on the mess table,
and for dessert he can fall back Oh dried
apples, peaches, raisins, currants,
prunes, figs and dates. But the sailor
who still has an ungratified appetite
may indulge it, for in every mess Of "a
persons, six rations may be commuted
each day, including $3.50 which may
be applied to the purchase Of luxuries.
No Distinction of Persons.
No distinction in persons is made in
the issue Of the naval ratons, and the
| admiral commanding the feet receives
the same ration, no more, nor less than
the youngest apprentice aboard ship re-
ceives, and can receive only the same
communication Tor each ration. No one
| can withhold the full ration
from a sailor and he has simply
to "go to the mast to have "a complaint
entertained and if he persists, board
Of three officers must be appointed tc
| inquire into it and see that the law is
complied with.

White Not q Candidate.

Los ANGELES, Cal, April 29.-Hon.
Stephen M. White, after reading the
dispatch from Washington in which it
was stated he was head and shoulders
over all other Democratic vice presiden-
tial possibilities, said to an Associated
Press reporter: "You can simply say
that I am not now and will not be a
candidate for the vice presidency. 1t
is the practice to name some one every
now and then for this as we'll as for
other offices. Such passing comments
are entitled to no weight and have no
significance whatever"

JAPAN WILL NOT RECEDE.

Protest of Russia, France and Germany to
Go Unheeded.
LONDON, April 29.-Direct and posi-
tive information from official sources is
at hand concerning the exact negotia-
tions between Russia, France and Ger
many on one hand and Japan on the
other. The Russian, French and Ger
man ministers separately interviewed
the vice minister of foreign affairs, un-
governments and presented memoran-
dums in which it was stated that the
governments of Russia, France and
Germany, upon examining the terms of
peace imposed by japan upon China,
have found that the possession of the
peninsula of Liza Tong, claimed by
Japan, would - a constant menace to
the capital of China, and at the same
time would threaten
The Independence Of Korea
and render it non-effective in fact.
Consequently the governments Of
France, Russia and Germany, desiring
to show their sincere friendship for the
government of Japan, advises it to re-
nounce the absolute and final posses
sion of the peninsula of Liza Tong. The
memoranda Of the three governments
make it plain that they were presented
in the way Of friendly advice to the
Japanese government and are not in
tended in any way to convey any open
or covert menace.
Japan's reply, it is understood, while
moderate and conciliatory in tone, will
not contain any recession from what
Japan regards as rightfully her due.

OCCUPIED CORINTO
British Marines Take Posses

Seaport.
INHABITANTS LEFT THE TOWN
And the British Are in Entire
PoSSeSsion-No Resistance
Made.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The British
have occupied Corinto and the british
flag has been raised over the city. DIR.
Guzman received two cablegrams at
1890 p. m. giving him the first official
information. The cablegra1ns were
very brief and stated only these essen
tial facts and also that the landing was
made at o'clock a. m. All is quiet, as
the Nicaraguuan population, DR.. Guz-
man says, have vacated the town, leav-
ing it completely in the possession of
the British troops.
Secretary Gresham returned from
Woodley, shortly after l o'clock, and
said that up to that time the state de-
partment was without any official in
formation from Corinto, and was in
doubt whether or not the troops had
been landed or not. 1t is probable that
later in the day DIR. Guzman will &C.
quaint the secretary with the informa.
ton from his government. The belief
was entertained that Nicaragua would
pay, and the landing of troops would
not occur, but this hope, as shown by
DR.. Guzman's dispatch, was not re.
allied.
Officials Doubt the New.
Notwithstanding the announcement
in the cablegrams to the Nicaraguan
minister, the belief is entertained in ad.
ministration circles that there is some
mistake, and the opinion is firmly ex'
pressed that Admiral Stephenson has
not landed troops and has not taken
possession OF Corinto This belief is ex
pressed very positively, and the declar
alton is made that it is so contrary te
advices received by the administration
as to what was likely to occur as tc
make them still continue doubtful ol
its accuracy.
