Mr.. Bartlett, who accompanied smitl
VI Weed to London in the interests "
thc Nicaraguan Canal company, sans
for New York this week. He has Deeli
busly engaged in conducting hnahclii
ncpotiations connected with the cahal'
fine nature of which still remain a secret.
Mr.. Bartlett, talking the matter over
with Il representative OF the Assoeia'c'
Press, said:
..Tbe recent war scare has done much
TO hinder my work, but the controversy
between England and the United STATES
has not interfered with my MISSION so
seriously as the uproar caused by tic
German emperor's action regarding the
South African complications. Although
those combinations have delayed nego-
tiations, you may say that matters are
progressing favorably.'
Rusiness ut the leading theaters has
bepn GOOD throughout the week, altnouSh
the death of Prince Henry of Batten-
berg has affected the attendance IN lhe
most fashionable theaters. But cr0Wueu
houses are still the order of the day at
the Newmarket, where the interest III
'.Trilby" has not yet abated.
In the Lyric, where the "Sign OF the
Cross" is nightly turning away money
and at the st. James, where George Alex
ander has, if not wholly artistic, at least
monetary success.
The other theaters, the Criterion, Ear-
rick and Savoy, are all doing more tlal
the average business with the squire
of Danes" "The Professors Love
story" and "The Mikado," respectively.
The recent stirring political events
have been Il Godsend TO managers eA-
plotting military dramas. All the houses
presenting such plays have been doing
an extremely large business.
Colonel Lake has arrived IN LONDON
in connection with the plans to strength
en- the Canadian military uelehoeo' IL
has, since his arrival here, been i'll con-
slant communication with the Canadian
office and the details of his mission are
naturally kept secret. 1t is believed that
the plans under consideration are not
due to the war scare" but to PROPOSE
tons made long before the famous mes
sage of President Cleveland to congress
on the Venezuelan question.
The events of the past few weeks are
said to have proved Il great strain upon
the Marquis of Salisbury. He looks much
tagged and is undoubtedly i'll need of
rest.
He was seen ascending the Duke of
Yorks steps from st. James park very
slowly and with evidently difficulty just
after the news of the death of Prince
Henry of Battenberg was received.
Mr.. Joseph Chamberlain, the secretary
of state for the colonies, was descending
the steps at the same moment and he
almost brushed elbows with the Marquis
of Salisbury in passing him and stared
hard at the PREMIER but the marquis did
not seem to notice Mr.. Chamberlain and
the latter seemed very much puzzled over
the marquis behavior, for when he reach
ed the bottom of the steps he stopped for
a moment and so watched him as he
disappeared in Pail Mall.
