Could not Play in London.

Olga Nethersole Is Angry Because She
Could not Play in London.
New York, July "A sepcial to the
Journal and Advertiser from London
says:
Olga Nethersole has served papers
upon Daniel and Charles Frohman in a
suit for damages to her professional?
reputation and potential share of the
profits in the abandoned London sea-
son.
Miss Nethersole had a contract with
the Frohmans for eight weeks in Lon
don this summer at 5000 a week and
percentage, of profits. The Frohmans
did not fulfill the contract, she says,
but paid the amount of the salary for
eight weeks to her solicitor.
She claims damages to her reputa-
ton in not being allowed to play, as
well as the loss sustained by there be-
ing no profits for her to share In.
Charles Frohman said that the Meth
ersole season was abandoned because
he and his brother could not see a
chance of profit.
I'VE lost $1,000 on her last appear
ance in London, playing her in her
principal American successes-'Ca-
mille,'" he said.
Nine. NordIca is i'll in bed at her
apartments in the Savoy hotel, and
her concert that had been advertised
at Queens hall next Wednesday has
been abandoned, the reason assigned
being that Seidl is unable to conduct
1t owing to his Bayreuth engage
ments.
Maurice Grau said that all he knew
about the reported reconciliation be-
tween Nordica and Jean Rezske was
that Nordica's husband had informed
him that the diva was going to send
cablegram to America: 81 am having
another go at De Rezske.''

the famous Don Pho Pico, >twice COVER
nor of this state, and the last to enjoy
that distinction under the Mexican
government. The win of The late Wild
ow of Don Antonio Marin Pico, who
died fifteen years ago, was filed with
the county clerk yesterday as a pre-
liminary step toward that end. Fifty
years ago Don Antonio was very veal

Jose, where he held the office of Dis
trict judge under the Mexican rule.
He held immense tracts of land in
San Mateo, Marin and Alameda coun-
ties and some $4,000 acres of land in
lower California, but when he died his
vast wealth had vanished and there
was little or nothing left Tor his widow
and family. Among other tracts he
donated one for plaza to San Jose
on the condition that the capital of the
state should be located there perma-
nently.

plain OF Bud Stotts and
Stotts Arrested for g.
Vagrancy. .. .


Chas. Connors, colored, is in the
county Jail on the charge of making
threats to do bodily harm. He was
arrested yesterday near the Southern
Pacific depot by officer Gates, upon the
request of Bud Stotts, also colored, who
claimed that Connors had threatened
to kill his sister, because she refused
to go to Ell Paso with a Pullman car
porter after he had secured her ticket
for her. The story as told to the off
Ger by Stotts is to the effect that the
porter had seen his sister at Waco Ida's
place on East street and asked her TO
go with him which she agreed to do. .
He secured her ticket and when she
arrived at the depot yesterday to de-
part she was stopped by an officer upon
the request OF hackman who claimed
that she owed him some money and
who wanted to be paid before she left.
This she said she could not do and in p
consequence would have to remain
This angered Connors who is a friend
of the porter's and IL was this which
caused him to make the threats he is
alleged TO have made. 81.
Stotts himself was later arrested by. %
officer Shelburn as a vagrant on the
west side of town and was given
twenty-four hours to leave the city
this morning by Recorder Lewis.

DEMOCRATIC TALK.
VIM. D. BYNUM SHOOTS OFF HIS
MOUTH A LITTLE.
Says The Republicans Will Endorse The
Gold Standard Ticket, But He'll
Likely Be Disappointed.

New York, July 2.-William d. By
mum, chairman Of the gold Democratic
committee, is supposed to be able. to
take the field when the campaign
opens in the middle western states.
1t was in these states that the gold
standard Democracy was founded and
made its best showing in the campaign
of 1896, and Mr.. Bynum says that
vigorus effort will be made to strength
en- the party in all these states, and
especially in Kentucky, Iowa and Ohio.
In Kentucky" said Mr.. Bynum,
"the prospects are bright. The sound
money Democrats will hold their con-
vention on July IA. Former secreta-
ry of the treasury, Mr.. Carlisle, will
preside and General Buckner and Mr..
Breckenridge will be delegates. The
men it dominates for governor and
other state offices will be elected The
Republicans have already appointed
committee to confer with the national
Democratic convention and that party
will indorse our nominees. This will
insure their election.
In Ohio and in Iowa we are very
strong. In Iowa we have with US
the best and most influential men of
the state. The issue has been clearly
drawn there by the fusion of the free
silver Republicans, the Bryan Demo-
Gratis and two-thirds of the Populists.
AS one-third of the Populists have re-
volted from the fusion party, the pros
poets are good for large gains in the
ranks of the sound money Democrats.
Mr.. Boies has practically left the
Bryan Democrats because he did not
want free coinage at sixteen to one.
1T is the desire of the committee
that the National Democrats in these
three states place separate tickets in
the field, and that vigorous campaign
in behalf of sound money be made in
each. In case the state organizations
in these states determine to nominate
separate tickets, it is the purpose of
the national committee to give them
the earnest support of the national or
ganization.
I'VE shall, hold a meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the National
Democracy in the headquarters here
July n. At that meeting the campaign
in Kentucky, Ohio, Iowa and other
states will be considered"
Mr.. Bynum said that in his recent
"trip through the south he was very
much encouraged as he found there
was much more inviting field of la
Dor than he'had expected to find.

WILL HONOR LOGAN.
Secretary Alger Will Have 1000 Regu
lar Troops at the Monument
Dedication.

Chicago, July 2.-Ate the request of
Senators Cullom and Mason, Secretary
Alger has decided to send 1000 regular
troops to Chicago to take part in the
ceremonies at the unwilling of the Lo-
gan monument on July %. The sena-
tors represented to the secretary Of
war the national character of this
event, and Gen. Alger, being a great
admirer of Gen. Logan, suggested to
the president that the unwilling of this
monument should be recognized as an
event of national Importance. The
president agreed with secretary of war
and the Illinois senators.
Secretary Algers has issued an order
for two full regiments of infantry, one
battalion of light artillery and two
companies of cavalry to report for duty
at Chicago on July %. The troops will
be drawn from Forts Sheridan, Wayne
and Brady and Jefferson Barracks. So
many United States troops have not
been detailed for such an event in
many years, with the exception of the
dedication of Gen. Grants tomb nj
York last April. With 1000 Federal
troops, the state militia and military
companies from adjoining states, there
promises to be great military display
at the unwilling of the monument.
The president and his cabinet will all
so be there il it is possible for them to
leave Washington, and many members
of both houses of Congress will also
attend to testify their admiration for
the soldier statesman, as Logan was
known in the Senate.
