MR.. CROKER FORM.
He Takes a Seven-MiIe Walk and
Climbs Another Mountain


Hot Springs, Va, Nov. 15.-Richard
Croker continues to- improve. In fact,
he has now more energy and endurance
than any of his party, all of whom are
supposed to be in good health. He
tired Col. Gardiner out this morning by
a brisk seven mile walk after break
fast. The colonel insisted that they had
ton to go with the party in the after
noon, preferring to rest.
Yesterday afternoon the Croker par
ty, except Col Gardiner, were driven to
Flag Rock, the highest point in the
Warm Springs range, from which can
be seen the Blue Ridge mountains in
the east and the Alleghenies in the
west. From the end of the carriage
road to the top of the mountain is a
steep climb over huge rocks of $50 feet,
followed by Chanler and Mr.. O'Brien.
Mr.. Guggenheimer and Senator Grady
were content to look upon the scene
from a secure point about 100 feet be-
low. Some one remarking upon the
character of the rocky formation said:
This is slate" Yes" replied an
other 'it is a good place for slate max
ing"
Mr.. Croker. gazing at the beautiful
western sunset, smiled and remarked,
addressing the reporters:
Nov, if you are good, boys, I'll stay
here a week or ten days, but if you are
bad I'll have to return to New York.
No politics here"
1t was suggested to Mr.. Croker that
perhaps he had come to the top of this
mountain to signal to Mayor-elect Van
Wyck. Mr.. Croker smiled in response.
Some one cried out pointing to a man
on the mountain road carrying a white
flag.
There's Van Wyck now"
mo" replied Mr. Croker promptly
He never carries a white flag"

GRoSVENOR ON CURRENCY.
Does Not Believe Mckinley W i'll Rec
ommend Greenb back Retirement.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Representa-
tive GrosvenOr of Ohio, a leading Re-
publican, is very doubtful about there
being any financial legislation at the
approaching session of congress.
I presume" he said, that there will
be some agitation of a currency meas
ure, but action on the subject is very
uncertain. Everybody knows that
there is very little chance of an agree
ment among the members of the bank
ing and currency committee on any
financial measure, and 1t viii be next
to impossible to make a party queS-
ton of such measure in the house.
There might be some proposition which
the Republicans would stand for but
there is no probability of a general
agreement on any of the broad
schemes that have been suggested"
You do not think that the Republi-
cans would unite on a proposition for
the retirement of the greehbacks?"
Certainly not; by no means. I do
not believe that the president will rec
ommend such a thing. I have talked
with him on the subject, but have no
idea. that he would make such a rec
OmmendatiOn.'

Placed on the Aztec Lands.


City of Mexico, Mex, Nov. 15.-The gov
eminent newspaper. Ell Mundo, says that
a contract has been signed between Lii
manto1Ir, secretary of finance, and an
Engusn company. 1t is claimed that this
syndicate Undertakes to place in various
portions of Mexico within the space of
twenty-five years a round million of Eu-
ropean colonists. The details given are
incomplete and rather mystifying, but
they are given belief, as they appear in
our reputable Mexican contemporary. The
company which has the transaction in
hand is organized in England. One of
the Rothschilds is active president 1t
guarantees to take over the public debt
(Which debt FL AIundo does not state. but
presumably some of the later issues,
amounting to about $11OOO0.OO0), and as a
guarantee of good faith they will deposit
81 900, 900 with the London bank of this
city.
The government, on its part, agrees to
turn over 80 1-3 per cent of all receipts to
the foreign syndicate 1t also agrees to
pay 500 for each family located as col
onists and withdraw all the public lands
from the market, giving the new syndi-
cate the exclusive use of the government
lands for their own colonizing purposes
The government also agrees to defray 80
per cent of the cost of any public build
ings erected in any of the colonies, the
plans of the same having previously been
approved by the government.
Mr.. Tesnos, who represents the syndi-
cate in this capital, left last Monday for
London with full details of the PROPOSE
ton to submit to his principals.

London, Nov. 15-The Very Rev

which, speaking of the necessity for the
religious education of children, he said:
New York has the most perfect ar

MARCHING BACKWARDS.
England Shows a Marked Decrease
in the Matter of Export Goods.

London, Nov. ia series of articles
which is attracting much attention
headed Marching Backwards has
been appearing in the Daily Mail. The
writer has shown that Great Britain
is falling behind in the great industrial
race and has demonstrated how the
United States France and Germany
can show increased exports to the
amount of % million pounds in the II
years extending from 1888 to 1895. 1t
is further proved that the exports of
the United Kingdom in the same period
decreased 5000 600 pounds (S45, 600, 000)-
Commenting upon this showing the
Daily Mail expresses the opinion that
the main reasons for this falling off in
British trade are want of business in
stinct and want of genuine patriotism,
''as evidenced by ship owners carrying
foreigners goods at lower rates than
Britishers."

IN. M. Drew, Chief of Police-Dear
Sir: Inclosed I send you picture Of
one c.. Jackman, alias English Red"
recently released from the Oakland City
Prison. Jackman, We have reason to
believe on good authority, has made a
threat to go to your city and take a
revolver in to Lynch, and at the earliest
opportunity Lynch will make an at
tempt to escape, and will not stop at
murder to get away.
"Jackman has boat which he plies
on the bay and coast, and he is desper-
ate enough to attempt just such an act
as he has threatened.
Keep your eye on him, and If he goes
in to see Lynch see that he is thoroughly
searched. I thought best to give you
this warning, feeling sure that you
would have done the same in my case.
If Lynch has been placed in the hands
of the Sheriff please see that he gets

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this
evening, the operate novelty and low
comedy success, Lost, Strayed or
Stolen" originally produced at the
Fifth Avenue Theater, New York,
where it ran for over 100 nights con-
secutively, and had corresponding runs
from the French by Cheever Goodwin.
1t is Partisan throughout, with French
sprightliness, wit, fancy and impu-
dence, and we suspect something of
French daring or license The COM
pany is a large one, numbering nearly
fifty, and carrying large quantity of
special scenery, requiring clearing the
stage of the Metropolitan entirely to
set the piece with the scenic environ
ment of the play. The music is repre-
sented as especially bright. catchy and
merry, and the leading singers as ca
pable throughout The low comedians
are numerous and are represented as
of the best on the low-comedy stage
in this day. The San Francisco "Bulle
tin." speaking of the play said: THE
comedians are unctuouS and never fail
to make the most Of the opportunities
given them by J. Cheever Goodwins

act is intricate and pretty enough for
a farce comedy, but still dignified
enough to keep within the bounds of
legitimate fun. OF the Individual hits
the most pronounced was undoubtedly
made by Anna O'Keefe as Rose. the
prima donna. She looked, acted and
sang the opera bouffine to life. Oriska
Worden was stately, graceful and sang

The Denver Times" said in the
course of long review: 1T is suffi-
cient to know that the comedy is
strikingly original and unlike anything
of an operate nature Denver has yet
encountered. 1t takes a chorus of

to sing the clever songs as the play
progresses. And the original music
by Woolson Morse is worth while. One

The New York Vaudeville Company
opened for weeks cement at the
Clunie Opera-house last evening, under
the management of George A. Bower
and Chris o. Brown. Twenty minutes
before the curtain went up every seat
in the house was taken, the remaining
available space was occupied and
standing Room Only was the sign at
the box Office. A very large number of
people probably a couple of hundred
were turned away, unable to even get
into the lobbies. 1t was the record night
in the history of the opera-house for an
admission fee. The performance of the
troupe is UP to promise. 1t is varied,
crisp, witty, full Of fun, music and low
comedy eccentrics. The audience was
thoroughly well pleased, applauded with
sincerity, and laughed it's full. 1t is
just such a show as will in all proba-
bility fill the house nightly for the week,
as it calls for no mental effort, is merry
and funny, and with just enough of ath-
letics and sentiment to give rest from
laughter. Harry and Kate Martell are
far and away the best trick bicycle
riders we have ever had here. Appar-
emily brother and sister and very young,
they do work on the wheel at
once graceful and startling,
and exceeding in technical performance
that of any riders who have given US ex-
hibitions of their skill. Caline and Lit
tie are very clever parody singers and
dialogue fun provokers. Silver and
Clark in black face introduce some of
the cleverest buck and wing dancing,
indeed they are remarkable in that line
and withal are most absurdlT and pro-
vokingly funny in song, dialogue and
act. Don Bernard. high baritone, sang
sentimental descriptive song effective
ly, and was recalled to give another. Joe
and Ern Van. musical team in black
face, are especially good and notably
witty. They play on number of in
struments we'll and give a farcical act
full of dry humor and grotesque comedy.
They are capital attraction. Sullivan
and Gaynell, Celtic wits, are very orig
nal in their dialogue work, with one or
two old things presented, but so neatly
as to satisfy as well as the new. One of
them appears in the most extravagant
and ludricrous makeup imaginable, and
his wit and eccentricities We're so taking
that he had the lions share of applause.
A better team in that line than this we
do not recall as having appeared here.
Little Cecil Hendricks, wee bit of
performer, is a pretty dancer and does
easily several very difficult acts of con-
tortion. Mile. Charmion, the girl San
dow and aerialist. closed the entertain
ment with daring and highly skilled ira
peze and horizontal ladder acts. She
surprised those who had not seen her
in earlier performances given here. she
is the equal, if not the superior, OF any
of her sex who have essaIed the role
she has taken up. Graceful, easy, dar-
ing, wonderfully strong, she walks
ladder head down, first by her heels and
then her toes, balances on her knees
on a lofty trapeze and in that position
does a highly startling trapeze act, and
besides gives some swings and turns
original with her, that challenge attn
letes of the stronger sex. Charmlon at
the close of this week leaves for Europe
