College Boys Whipped.

The game of ball yesterday at Alum

sided to make it interesting. The COL
lege boys had not played together be-
fore, and while It is composed of good
individual players. there was painful
lack of team work. The Alumni team
put up a great game, not making an
error. Vandermark pitched in good
form and kept the college lads guess
ing. Gearg and Walsh pitched good
ball. but they showed lack of practice
since they commenced their vacations.

LEADVILLE (Col), Sept. 21.-At l
o'clock this morning three heavy eX-
plosions aroused sleepers in the east
ern part of the city for blocks around
the Coronado mine, which is the one
which first resumed operations and
which was heavily barricaded and well
stocked with provisions and arms.
The explosions were followed by a
fusillade of rife shots, apparently
from within the barricade, and rapid
but irregular shots from outside, ap-
parently from a widely scattered at
tacking force, who were on hand to
protect the retreat of the dynamiters.
The shooting lasted for ten minutes,
and all was silent for about five min
utes. when desultory firing was renew
ed, and has been kept up ever since.
At this writing Q:45 o'clocD another
explosion was heard, sounding like
dynamite. Ten minutes after the first
explosions a telephone message from
the Coronado stated that nobody
inside the barricade had been hurt.
Since then it has been impossible to
reach the Coronado by telephone.
This office is now being watched by
several bands of men grouped in dark
corners and alleys, and this may mean
that they propose to prevent any COM
munication with the telegraph offices,
the watchers not knowing that we
have the leased wire and long distance
telephone.
The city is in panic of fear. County
and city officials are out looking after
the work of the police and Sheriff.
Bullets frequently whistled over this
office, and altogether the situation is
warlike.

Mr.. MARX COMING
TO HONOLULU,
Looking Up Business for the
Frawley Company.
PLAY THREE WEEKS IN OCTOBER.
Has His Schedule All Made Out and Viii Pre-
sent His Deal When Australia Arrives
Today-Big Scheme Evolved by New York
Combination Honolulu for Winter Tour.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-Mel-
vile Marx of the Columbia Theater
management will be a passenger on
the steamer Australia, which sails for
Honolulu tomorrow morning. Mr..
Marx goes to the Islands in advance
of the Frawley company, which will
open Honolulu's new Opera House the
latter part of October.
Behind Mr.. Marks trip is one of the
biggest theatrical ventures that has
been contemplated in some years. San
Francisco has been heretofore consid-
cred the 'jumping-off'' place for East
ern attractions which can only get away
from New York in the summer months,
when the theaters are closed. But now
the Columbia management proposes to
include in the Western tour Honolulu,
and have entered into negotiations
ney and Melbourne, with a view of ex-
tending the booking to Australia.
The new theater in Honolulu was
built by w. G. Irwin, the wealthy
planter, banker and shipowner, and
the initial performance promises to be
one of the greatest society events ever
witnessed on the Islanls.
The house is said to be as handsome
and cozy temple of amusement as
any theater on the Pacific coast. The
chairs will be shipped from Chicago
shortly and will be sent from here on
the next trip of the Australia, about
three weeks hence.
The theater is being fitted up with
all modern appliances and improve
ments, and while the interior promises
to be most beautifully finished, the
greatest attention will be given to COM
fort. The drop curtain will be a work
of art. The scenery is being painted
by William F. Porter, the we'll known
scenic artist of this city. Bob Abrams,
who was stage carpenter at the Bald
win for many years, is fitting up the
stage. The house and stage will be
lighted with electricity, so arranged as
to produce most elaborate and striking
scenic effects. The auditorium is in
white and gold and will have a seating
of nearly 1900.
The Frawley company will play for
three weeks in Honolulu, opening in
"The Great Unknown which had such
a remarkable run at the Columbia.
Following this will be put on ''The Two
Escutcheons, Charity Ball. Men
and Women" ''The Wife, Brother
John" His Wife's Father" THE Sem
ator," Lord Chumley," Moths, - Cap
tain Swift and others.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1S.-The re-

United States, including many who had
not hitherto taken an interest in Gov
ernment work. Among those present,
in addition to the naval officers at
tached to the department bureau, were
Wolfe & Sewicker of Portland, Ore.
and Henry I. Scott of San Francisco.

How the LeadviIle Trouble Com
menced.
LEADVILLE, Colo, Sept. 21.-The
miners strike, of which tonight's law
Iessness is the outcome, began three
months ago yesterday, when, at II at
night the men in two or three of the
leading mines walked out. The union
scale of wages in Leadville was So for
everybody, but in 1898, when the price
of silver dropped below so cents an
ounce, an agreement was made that
$3.50 should be accepted for some clas-
ses of work until silver should return
to SO cents. This agreement the miners
afterward declared was unfair, as many
of the mines paid large dividends. 1t
was to enforce the original scale of So
that the men struck. About 5000 me-
were involved.
Within the last two weeks several
mines have resumed work, and this
week the output has been 1,200 tons
daily, against 1000 tons before the
strike.
