tenth alloy.

SILVER COINS.
No issue Of silver dollars was made
from the mint from 1906 to 1886, the

greater than their face value, they were
purchased for export. The order of sus-
pension is contained in the following let
ter, under date Of May /, 1906, addressed
TO the Director Of the Mint at Philadel-
phia by James Madison, Secretary of

pose OF exporting them, and as 1t is probable
further purchases and expectations will be
made, the President directs that all the silver
to be coined ct the mint shall be Of small de-
nomination, so that the value Of the largest
piece shall not exceed half a dollar

DEADLOCK SHAKEN.

1t is reported that Prince Lo-
banoff, if not overthrown, has
been Invested of his unlimited
power as Foreign Minister of
Russia. Credit for the lowering
of his plumes is given to the
Cars mother. The London Times
correspondent says of the matter:
1t is understood that between
his Greek, English and Danish
relatives the young Car has been
brought to know the truth about
Armenia and Crete, and to say
that Russia shall no longer play
the monstrous part of the Sultan's
supporter in these crimes against
civilization. Upon this new basis,
1 am told, fresh negotiations are
proceeding among the powers, and
it is not impossible that Germany
may find herself alone, or, at best,
with only Austria's lukewarm as
sent, in the position of backing up
Turkish misrule. If all this be
true, and there are numerous in
dications that it is, then at last
something can be done to break
the shameful deadlock in the East.

HAD A FULL HOUSE.
The Initial Performance OF the Adair
Company Success.

Company n Success.
Miss Elsie Adair and the mem
bers of her company certainly
have no reason to complain of the
size of their first Honolulu au-
dience, for nearly every seat in
the big drill SIZED was occupied,
which means there we're between
700 and 800 people present. The
entertainment is somewhat
novel one, but seemed to please
the audience.
The opening skit gave Miss
Adair and Mr. .Vanderlip chance
to show some of their special
ties. The three songs given by
Miss Jardine were pleasingly
rendered but fell fiat on the cul-
tured ears of a Honolulu audience.
The last one served to introduce
an old circus trick and the boy
soprano of the company who
brought down the house by his
excellent singing of the refrain to
Miss Jardine's song.
In his ventriloquial efforts
Hugh j. Emmett kept the audience
in roars of laughter and his mar
velous manipulations of his pup
pets excited general wonder.
Mr.. Emmett is one of the best
ventriloquists ever seen here and
his performance fully merited the
frequent applause with which it
was greeted.
Miss Elsie Adair's four dances,
entitled "Frolic of the Pansies,"
Ayesha," Andalusia and
Dreams " must be seen to be ap-
preciated. Helped out by electric
and Calcium light effects, as they
are, they are beautiful in the ex-
treme and elected storms of ap-
plause. In the last dance pictures
of various presidents of the United
States were thrown on the dancer,
winding up with that Of Presi-
dent Dole which evoked loud ap-
lause.
A side-splitting farce in which
the five members of the company
took part concluded the entertain
ment.
The next performance will be
given on Thursday evening.
