THE prospects of a general coal strike
in England is being discussed. The
employers are trying to effect ten
per cent. reduction in wages, and the
miners of Derbyshire and Lancashire
have already refused to accept the
proposition. Such strike would have
a serious effect upon the railroads,
which have lately been enjoying
boom.

to make it felt at home and abroad
This feeling is now more definite than
ever before. A great nation makes it's
power on the side of justice felt in the
world.
1t was this strong national expression
that surprised Great Britain. The more
the latter reviled the Monroe doctrine
the more Americans took it to heart
If in any sense it had ever failed as a
national expression, henceforth there
would be no failure. It was no longer
an incoherent expression. It is the ma
tional sentiment that protests against
the invasion of the weak by the strong.
1t protested against the reported ag-
gressions of the British in Venezuela
and made such a national demand as
Great Britain had never heard before.
The remote probability that there
might be war aided strongly to bring
out patriotic sentiment
There is a new expression of Amer
lean ideals; and these are as independ-
ent of Great Britain as if no such coun-
try existed. There is a distinct ex-
preston of American thought and feel
ing which makes for a strong national
ity. That is the greater good derived
from the recent contention. There was
q clear national voice rising above all
the bluster and protests of Great Brit
ain. 1t is not sounded in the key of
British expression. 1t goes athwart of
her prejudices and assumptions. 1t re-
suits from the consciousness of justice
and an investment as it were of a new
national force. Foreigners become
Americans. They have henceforth one
country, and are ready for it's defense
as if they were to the manor born.

The University of California Glee
Club gave a concert for the Lecture
Association at the Congregational
Church last night. The spacious audi
torium was packed with an audience
that was well entertained. The young
men, seventeen in number, kept the
audience waiting until nearly $50
o'clock. The apology offered, with re-
grets by the management, is that three
of the tenors misunderstood the hour at
which the concert would begin. In the
name of common sense when do they
call audiences to assemble in Berkeley?
Is $50 o'clock the fashionable hour
there for the curtain to go up? If so,
the sooner there is reformation the bet
ter for the physical and intellectual
welfare of the immature men who
claim the University as alma mater
However, when the concert did begin it
went along rapidly and proved most
charming entertainment. The musical
gem in club singing was the Shake
spearean song, What Shall He Have
That Killed the Deer?" 1t was given
rather rapidly but with the necessary
animation and the spirit of a hunts
mans chorus. The best vocal work was
by DR. Gilbert F. Graham in the
I tenor solo What 1 Would Be-" His
voice is very tuneful. his notes hmpid
and his method modest and effective.
The encore he won was simple award of
justice. Charles z. PARCELS in his
violin solos. in which he has been heard
here before. greatly pleased the artistic
and cultivated taste. The chorus colos
by Mr.. Wedemeyer and Mr.. Knight
were good, especially that by the latter

made up the programme with more Sc
lections of a higher character. The
encores punctuated every number and
sometimes there were two recalls. The
concert was a success. the club being
evenly balanced. well directed, strong
in musical expression and decidedly
satisfactory in distinctness of enuncia-
tion-a matter that is so often neg

have reason to be proud of the recep-

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera house last night
the stock company presented the rat
ting comedy, Arabian Nights" It was
very handsomely mounted, showing
one of the handsomest interior sets that
has been put upon the stage here in
many a day. Not only did scenic artist
and stage carpenter do notably good
work, put the propertyman eclipsed for
mer efforts in furnishing the stage. The
play was very cleverly acted and ran
smoothly and spiritedly. Miss Bridges
surprised her warmest admirers by TAX
ing SOubrette part with yivacity,
spirit and wit and naivette not looked
for, since it was thought that her art
lies mainly in a different direction. She
had capital foil in Maggie Francis,
who fitted into the part of the mother
in-law so neatly that nothing was left
wanting. She made the role so prom
inent a one as to lift it out of the usual
rut. 1t was an original idea, we take
it, with her. Her 'falI' takes prece-
dence over anything of that kind seen
here in a long time. While the play
was good, thoroughly so, the audience
had an independent treat and a. sur
prise at the close of the comedy in feat
ures entirely novel, and that, it is safe
to say, will draw crowded houses from
this on. 1t was all French, out of the
usual, and as bright, vivacious and
sparkling as any could desire. First
came Mile. Marthe Marthy, French
woman, with all the dash, sparkle, orig
inality and vim of the French soubrette
and concert-haIl singer. She has a re-
markably flexible, strong, not very mu-
sical but a dramatic voice, emphasized
by a taking vigor and snap that
charmed the audience. She is rather
monologist than a singer, and her forte
lies in limitations of musical instru-
ments and domestic animals, and next
in limitations of droll characters, all ex-
cellently taken; the rattle of her French
fairly striking sparks at every turn.
Finally, she appeared in a French peas
ant costume and astride a donkey. a
wonderfully built donkey, that dances
and salutes and exhales fire and smoke
in startling but very amusing way.
Nothing like this act by the woman has
ever been given here. 1t suggests the
thought that it was picked up bodily
from a Partisan vaudeville show and
dropped down fresh and unchanged
among us. Then came the three Ma
THE brothers in an acrobatic panto-
mimic act, entitled ''The Devils
Kitchen in which ground and lofty
tumbling, shooting in and out Of
kitchen range mid fire and smoke, and
posing, comforting and the like follow
so rapidly that one can scarce keep
track of these remarkably agile per-
formers. One of them is a veritable
rubber-man. He is thrown and tossed
about as one would ball, and bounds
when cast full length on the stage like
bundle of rubber. The act is wholly
new here, and is full of the dash and
vigor and the grace and agility that
French acrobats and pantomimists and
athletes are famous for 1t was indeed
a most entertaining and curiously
strange act, of which no adequate de-
scription can be written in haste or
circumscribed space. The same bill
will be given tonight.
