Last Nights Hntsrtainnsnt Considered the

Last evening the Los Angeles theate,
was filled with a large and appreciat-
I've audience, gathered together to lis
ten to the final rendering of the Cradle
Songs of All Nations and enjoy the
beautiful and typical tableaux which
accompanied each.
The entertainment was opened with
the Central American scene, which by
It's realism gained such favor on presen-
tation Monday night that it was re-
peated through special request.
The lullaby, IT Thou Didst Love Me,
by Miss Edna Bicknell, breathed forth
The fire and passion of the southern
climes.
The next scene was a very pretty one,
and represented German kitchen.
Miss Eta Jacoby sang the lullaby in
very charming manner, and when she
gently placed the sleeping infant in it's
cradle was Joined in duet by Mr..
Fred Colver. Two delightful recita-
tions followed by Miss Robinson The
Adyentures of Winkin', Blinkin' and
Nod and Mammie's Little Boy. Mrs. v.
Evans sang Spring Tide and captured
the house. 1t was her first appearance
before a Los Angeles audience, and
judging from the reception she received
it will be far from her last one.
the curtain then rose on the Indian
tableau, which bore a great fidelity to
the wild denizens of the plains. The
tapleauX was composed bv Mrs.
Alice Rollins Crane and set to music
according to her instructions by Miss
Mary Seamans, who so naturally rem
dered 1t last night. Two more squaws,
one carrying a papoose and accom-
panied by child, Little Miss Dow, clad
only in string, then entered and
crouched around the fire. Shortly after
wards the chief, Mr.. Frank Mutchmore,
arrived on white bronco, having his
own particular squaw, Miss Margaret
Hull, riding behind him. Another
squaw, Glare Conklin, accompanied
them on foot and bore on her back a
water tody, which Mrs. Crane procured
during her recent trip to Cochise's
stronghold in Arizona. The aborigines
arranged themselves around the stage
in a remarkably picturesque manner.
and their costumes arms and actions
showed the Indian to the life.
Tne next scene represented Danish
kitchen, which was admirably portray
ed. The lullaby by Miss Stella Perry
was delightfully."- sung, and the Danish
clog dance by Mr.. link elected great
applause.
Then followed the Japanese tea party.
A Japanese song was charmingly sung
by Mrs. Burdette, while Miss Alice Sew
erns dispensed tea to a bevy of Japan
ese bellies surrounding her, whose al
mond eyes, ruby lips and magnificent
costumes made a picture never to be
forgotten. Little Miss Nellie Lockwood
won all hearts by her graceful parasol
dance. and Miss Ida Hassen, in bright
scarlet, followed her in a tambourine
dance which was very effective
The negro scene followed Miss May
Seamans sang the lullaby in a charming
manner, but the event of the scene was
Ma Angeline, as rendered by Miss Anita
Ray Simpson, with Mrs. Steineke as
Angeline. The song was given in splen-
did style, but the side plays and acting
by both participants was far above the
amateur line and brought forth rounds
of applause.
The evening was indeed an enjoy
able one.

BOX OF MONKEYS
Play at ausic Hall in Aid Of the Orphsu5
Home

Home
A charming farce comedy in two acts,
entitled A Box of Monkeys, was given at
Music hall last evening in aid of the
Girls, Aid society, which was recently
transferred to the Woman's American
Protective association.
A short program Of musical and liter
ary merit preceded the play. Mr.. AL
bert Rose performed piano solo, Miss
billiard recited The Ship of Faith, Miss
harrington sang Asthore, and Mrs &.
Clark gave recitation, Darius Green
and the Flying Machine; Mr.. James
Clark sang The Battle Cry of Freedom,
and the Swedish quartet appeared with
selection Of their usually creditable
songs.
In the comedy, Miss Rilla Barbee, as
Sierra Bengaline, was everything in a
most charming manner, from the i'm
promptu romp to the cultured young
lady of the drawingroom, and her act
ing was very clever and chic. Mr.. Sui
livan, as Edward Ralston, the hero
takes the part admirably, as the
naughty young gentleman metamor-
phosed in twinkling to the stolid Eng
lish butler
Mr.. Ed Nannary of the Daily company
took the character of the limp, inane,
stammering, don't chu know English
dude in an inimitable manner, and car
ried his part with much of the finish of
the professional.
Miss ballard enacted the character of
the New York aunt, Mrs. Ondega Jones.
very creditably. Miss Bowman was
manager and leading lady, Mr.. Duggan
of the Burbank stage manager, and G.
w Harrington property man.
The audience was not large, but the
play merited fine house and would
well bear repetition.

THE WHEAT CROP IN INDIA.
No Likelihood of Large Imports Into Tha
 Cou

Country.
 London. Nov. 9.--The Mark Lane Ex- press says that although the deficiency in the crops in India is known to be very serious, there is no likelihood that there will be any large imports of wheat into that country. Though prices only range from 26 to 36 shil- lings per quarter" the paper says, "the extreme poverty of the Indian populace renders anything over 30 shillings al- most prohibitory and 15 to 25 shillings is the usual range"
 "rhe failure in India and Australia, ]" the Express adds, "has caused a de- ficiency of 2,033, 800 quarters in the usual supply of Great Britain. This must be made up from other sources and IS a change in the situation which itself is sufficient to uphold the recent rise. The quantity of wheat in transit to the United Kingdom on Saturday was D. 045, ,000 quarters, of which there were 100000 quarters of Russian, 100000 North American, 100000 South Ameri- can, 1.220,OOO California and 25OO0 from other sources.
 "The spring corn trade has been dull and the supply larger than even good retail demand can readily absorb, while speculative purchases for a rise in 1897 are discouraged by the large new crop in America"

President Gompers Appeals for Aid for the
 Striking EtnpJOyes

Chicago, Nov. 9.-President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor has issued an appeal for aid in behalf of the Milwaukee street carmen, who have been on strike since May B. The appeal states that these men are deter mined and believe they will succeed by next spring, if assistance is given them and continues:
 "The corporation has resorted to ev- cry measure that can be thought of to crush them. They have been black listed and wherever they have applied for positions they have been refused employment unless they could secure recommendations from the Milwaukee street railway. Again, the corporation, aided by certain officers, after black listing and making 1t impossible to se- cure employment are now seeking to prosecute these men for non-support of their families. We appeal to you to act upon these matters at once. Financial assistance must be forthcoming. Their families are in want. They are on the verge of winter in a part of the country where winters are long and severe. Re- mittances may be made to Pezin Orr, secretary of the Amalgamated asso- citation of Street Employees, 22 Kanter building, Detroit, Michigan"

President-Elect Mckinley Considerably

 Refreshed and in Good Health
 Canton, O., Nov. 9.-President-elect Mckinley has so far recovered from the fatigue incident upon the labors of the campaign just closed that he has again resumed the methodical manner of living that has characterized his ev- cry day life for many years past He arose at the usual hour this morning, disposed of his early mail, which was not of an uncommonly large quantity, and then in company with MT Clark Tonner of Canton indulged in walk. about the resident portion of the city. The air was cool and bracing and the pair walked at brisk gait for nearly an hour.
 After calling at his mothers residence on Tuscarawas street the president elect returned to his home on Market Hill. He announced that he was feel- ing excellent and at once plunged into his favorite occupation of perusing a pile of newspapers that come to him in the mail. Although Major Mckinley has never had any newspaper experi- ence he has faculty of disposing of and getting the meat out of huge pile of newspapers that would reflect credit upon some of the most trained exchange editors of the profession, There were no callers of prominence at the Mckinley residence up to 2 o'clock this afternoon, and taken altogether, this has been the most quiet and un- eventful day Major Mckinley has pass l ed in many months.

Question on the Suit to Cancel the Berliner Defendant-Argument Begun-Imposing
 Array of Legal Talent on Both Sides
 Contentious Pro and Con.
 Washington, Nov. 9.-Argument in
 the case of the United States versus American Bell Telephone company, suit to cancel the patent issued to Emil
 Berliner for transmitter and upon the
 result of which depends the continu-
 ance of the telephone monopoly in the United States, was begun In the United
 supreme court this afternoon by R. s.
 Taylor on behalf of the government,
 He will be followed by Ferdinand P.
 Fish of Boston, and Joseph H. Choate of New York for the Bell company.
 Causten Brown will close for the gov
 ernment. ~
 This litigation was begun by direc-
 ton of Attorney General Miller, near,
 the close of President Harrison's ad-
 ministration and had it's origin in
 suggestion made by Charles H. Aldrich, then the solicitor general. The facts ! are stated in the brief filed by MT. Ald rich. It says that the suit to cancel the patent was begun November 17, 1891, in the United States circuit court, for the district of Massachusetts. Judge Carpenter on January g. 1895, found for
 the plaintiff and decreed cancellation
 of the patent. The Bell company took the case to the court of appeals for the oi ;oL To reversed the circuit court, with instruc- 1 ton to dismiss the bill From that de- cree the United States appealed to the supreme court.
 | The principal ground upon which the government asked the cancellation was 1 the extraordinary delay in it's issue by | the patent office, which it was claimed
 was in effect fraud upon the public. l Berliner's original application for a transmitter was filed June 4, 1877; and | the patent was not granted until No | vember, 1891, thus extending for seven | teen years from the latter date the
 monopoly of telephonic transmission 1 secured by the issue of the original | Bell patent in 1876 or a total period of | thirty-two years.
 | 1 cancellation upon the additional | grounds that patent issued to Der | liner in 1880 covered the same inven- | tion as that covered by the invention i in suit and that the application was | barred by previous public use for more | than two years The Bell company I controverted these propositions, assert
 ing that the delay in issuing the patent l arose, from the action of the patent 1 office; that, Berliners patent of 1880 was 1 for receiver, not transmitter; and | that Berliner's receiver invention had
 never gone into commercial use. l In disposing of the case by the court l of appeals only two points were consid- 1 ered-those of delay and double patent | ing.
 In the present argument counsel will 1 follow the general line of argument
 laid down in the courts below Two l briefs were submitted by McNaught 1 and Bedding, solicitors of the Standard | Telephone company, in support of the
 position of the United States, and mak- | ing points that were not made in the courts below. Counsel for the Bell
 company cited authorities to show that 1 an appellate court would not consider
 matters not presented to the lower
 courts.

Continuing, Lord Salisbury declared that the concert of Europe seemed to be in a more favorable condition to extirpate the terrible disease in the east than ever before. He eulogized the speech made on Tuesday last by M. HanotauX the foreign minister, in the chamber of deputies at Paris. He did not" he said, expect that France would would try to batf1e the action of European concert, while, he added, the triple alliance had always been in sym pathy with the British doctrines re- garding the western question. Lord Salisbury repudiated the idea that there was necessarily permanent ah- tagonism between England and Rus Sia.
 Such an idea was superstition of an- tiquated diplomacy. He had. good ground for believing that Russia had the same views. He did not desire to imply there was any power with which Great Britain would act. He only pro- tested against the idea that any power was specially Great Britain's opponent. He would not say there would be diff culty in concurring in any scheme to exercise force if the other powers agreed, but he did not know whether the use of force was meditated against Turkey.
 He referred to the last promise of re- forme made by the sultan and said that the future alone could determine how far even such humble promises as these would be realized. He hoped the powers would be able to convince Tur- key that she was drifting in the current towards an abyss, and that they would succeed in diverting her before she ar rived at the edge.

Washington, Nov. 9.-The Duke of Tetuan, minister of foreign affairs at Madrid, cabled Senor Dupuy de Lome this afternoon, that General Weyler left Havana to-day to take immediate per- sonal command in the field of the com- prehensive operations against the in- surgents, which have been in prepara- tion for months and for which large re- Inducements have been made available. The minister says the campaign will be at once pursued most energetically, and that a change in the situation in Cuba may be expected. There is apparently no ground for report circulated to- day that the Spanish minister. M. Du- puy de Lome, would be recalled.
