Grand Opera House.

Katie Rooney'S Greater New York CTS" opened a weeks engagement last night at the Grand Opera house before a large audience. The opening oper- etta is 'The Milionaire's Rec aptton The libretto is by MT Charles A. Fay Tor and the score by MT. John Harding
 The play throughout is alive with catchy songs, artistic dancing and mimicry. The first scene opens in the home of Major Million, millionaire, who resembles Mckinley the role be- ing taken by John Bryant.
 The major welcomes all of the menl- bers of the company, who are inteo- duced to him by his Man Eridayh.' a valet. The specfalties introducel in the operetta include the popular airs of the day, sung by Kate Rooney and the entire company.
 The operatic selections sung by the Italian soprano, Adelina Roattino, were excellent. Her voice was pure and sweet and the ease with which she sang the high notes was especially. noticea- ble. Other songs were "The Glazier Song,' by Whitelaw and Stewart; IIl llhlIlS oOIlS, py <tuilC IL. NliDClI, duet, by Wilbur and Roattino; trio, by Bryant. Cleaver and Wilbur and bari tone solo by Clarence Warrell The dancing by Miss Hattie Rooney and Pat Rooney, jr., is excellent. The grand finale of part one is the singing of Sousa's "El Capitan." Part two opens with an excellent olio. James T. Murphy and Addie Gilbert kept the audience in a continual roar of laugh ter from the time they entered until they left the stage In glimmer of in- sane conglomerations.
 John Bryant and Lillie Cleaver sang duets introducing the Church Across the Way" with chimes and grand scenic accompaniment Their voices blended together in a most pleasing manner.
 The Checkers, Anna and Charles in- troduced some lightning baton manip- ulating, which was encored again and again. They wore handsome costumes of red satin trimmed with gold braid. Clarence Wilbur sang baritone solos in very artistic manner.
 Katie Rooney then appeared in her songs, dances and limitations, assisted by John Harding on the piano. Her change to the character of Pat Rooney" the former well known Irish comedian, in which she sings and dances, was the hit of the evening
 Arthur A. Whitelaw and Harry Stew art as the German and the Celt were very amusing. Their jokes were new and songs catchy.
 I,lImiere's cinematoeranhe was ip- troduced by Manager Starr of the Grand and the following views were displayed: Canadian Falls CNiagara), Jersey City ferry boat, French Cuiras- siers (boots and saddles), Dragons Crossing the Saone, Czar at Concorde Gate (Paris), fish market (Marseilles). pigeons at Venice. baby's quarrel, card players, raft at sea

CLICK NOT SURPRISED.
Says the Order Merely Complies With
the Act of Congress.

Pension Agent George w. Click was
seen when he arrived from his home in
Atchison and asked the significance OF
the order removing the Topeka pension
office
Il don't know anything about it ex-
cept that the order has been made -
replied Governor Click. Il was not
surprised, because the order is simply
in accordance with an act of congress.
l suppose it was the intent of the bill
to- save money though 1 do not con-
slider it a wise measure and do not know
whether it will result in any saving,
whose aggregate salaries amount to
$36, 900 per annum.
THE work cannot be done with less
men than are now employed, and I sup
pose the office force will be retained. I
selected the men with special reference
to their fitness and there are men in
the office who can do the work of four.
II would be a great mistake if any were
displaced. The only person in the To-
peka office who will be relieved is the
agent"
Governor Click refused to discuss the
charge that the order was political in
its nature. 1T is simply in accord
ance with the act of congress and the
president has seen fit to make this ar
rangement, and 1 do not see how there
can be any other motive than to follow
the law OF course another president
might make a different arrangement"
The order does not directly affect
Governor Click, because he had no
thought that ne would serve longer than
his term, which expires November Is, a
little more than a month before the bill
goes into effect.

FIRE IN COLUMBIAN %
Floor Polish ExpIodes in the Column
bian Building-Twc Men Injured.

There was an explosion and fire at
o'clock today in the engine room of
the Columbian building. Henry Robb,
the engineer, and A Mayweather, the
fireman, were mixing floor polish with
parafine~ wax and turpentine in a buck
ct over hot Goals of fire The mass be-
came ignited and an explosion followed
Hot wax and oil were thrown over the
hands and into the faces of the two I'M
fortunate men and the blazing liquid
was thrown about the engine room, set
ting fire to the woodwork
The men were blinded by the burning
oil and wax which covered their clothes
and filled their eyes They were in a
fiery furnace but with little way of es-
cape The noise of the explosion. at
tracted one of the janitors, who ran to
the assistance of the men.
They were carried out and an alarm
of fire was sent in. The interior of the
engine room was in flames, the smoke
followed along the lower hall and
thence up the elevator shaft.
In this way the whole Columbian
building was soon filed with smoke and
the occupants thought the building was
about to be consumed. Some attempted
to remove their office effects.
The fire was confined entirely to the
boiler room, but much smoke was drawn
up into all parts of the building. The
damage was small
Robb and Mayweather were taken to
DR. c. A. Maguire's Office, where their
injuries were dressed. MayWeather' s
hands were badly burned, as were also
Robb's. In addition, Robb's face was
blistered and il is feared that his right
eye is injured. The boards of both
men were singed off and Mayweather's
lips were ScOrched.
The skin on their hands peeled off in
rolls. They suffered considerable pain.
In speaking of the accident, Robb
said: Il kept telling Mayweather that
stuff would explode
''Of course it exploded" said May
weather. 1.-The solder in the bucket
melted and then the stuff caught fire.

G OLD DEMOCRATS GET EVEN.
Said to be Urging the Change Because
Click Did Not Help in CAMPAIGN.

When the dispatches from Washing
ron q couple OF weeks ago announced
that United States District Attorney W
C Perry and Eugene Hagan. chairman
of the gold standard Democratic state
committee, had been summoned 10
Washington by the president politi-
clans said that it meant trouble for ex-
Governor Click. However. Perry and
Hagan both denied that they had been
sent for declaring that their trip to the
national capital, mention of which had
been made in the papers, was not of a
political character; that they were go
ing as attorneys in the Texas fever
cattle case, pending in the supreme
court
When Perry and Hagan ascertained
the wishes of President Cleveland in
regard to the campaign of 1896 they
proceeded to organize the gold standard
Democratic element in behalf of the Re
publicans. They wanted Click TO Join
their party, but he refused.
Mr.. Cleveland knows my views on
the money question" Click said He
knew them when he appointed me pen-
sion agent at the beginning of his first
administration. He knew it when he
appointed me for a second term 7 he

shaI not change my creed. 1 shall

Ever since Click made that ta1lx pa,.r.-
and Hagan have been after him II is
said that Hagan, who has been more
active than Perry in the campaiern
against Gllch, nslu arrangements made
for the abolition of the office Just after
1he election but the Republicans made
such roar about it that the matter
was dropped temporarily.
Leland and Senator Lucien Baker
went to Canton and talked with Major
Mckinley about it, and a prominent
Republican who is CLOSE to Leland
says that Mckinley wired a request to
Cleveland that the Topeka agency be
not abolished
Mr.. Hagan, if he is responsible for
the presidents action, has turned down
the Republican party. The chances
are that Mr.. Hagan will disclaim all
connection with the change, as being
resident of Topeka he would scarcely
take hand in any move that would
directly injure Topeka. 1t is not Gus
tomary for Topeka. men to- stab their
own town.

his long years of experience as a poll

GAMBLERS QUIT.
Sporting Fraternity Get Fright
ened-Will the JOintiStS
Get Scared!

The Topeka gambling houses have
closed their doors and the gambler who
visits his old haunts today will find
them desolate ana deserted.
The proprietors have received a quiet
tip and have deemed it advisable to
suspend business. A well known gamb-
Ter told a Journal reporter today that
the cause of the closing was an order
from the police department delivered
by one of the officers on Saturday even
ing.
Journal reporter saw Wilson Keith,
a member of the police board today,
and asked him the meaning of the or
der: Things will come out all right if
we are let alone,' said he. Time will
tell what Will be done"
Did the board order the gambling
houses closed?''
4 have nothing to say about it."
why was not the order made to ap-
ply to the joints as well as the gamb-
ling houses?''
THE board has made no order, what
ever. If the gamblers We're notified, it
was not by an order of the board"
The police department has received
some instructions concerning the gamb-
ling houses which have become SO nu
merous in Topeka, though the board
did not make any order concerning no
LITIGATION. The police have received in
structiOn to arrest the gamblers where
evidence has been secured and that is
the line of work now being followed
A man who has been running a place
where gambling was permitted, said
today:
I was notified by the police, but 1
got my tip from some one on the out
side / was told that we would have to
be careful or something would happen,
and 1 have sense enough to know what
that means"
He refused to say who was his infor-
mant, but said he was a man who
claimed to have a pull with the po-
lice administration.
The first intimation of the policy of
the police administration of Topeka
comes with the closing of the gambling
houses.
Governor Leedy has very pronounced
views on the question of gambling
Whether the police will stop with rid
ding the city of gambling houses or not
is not known, though the people who
are nearest the throne still claim that
the joints will be closed. 1t is some
what strange, if this is true that the
war should be opened on the gamblers
Tested 1t may be that the police de-
partment has decided to do one thing
al time, and that the jointists will re-
ceive their attention when the gamb-
lers have been disposed of.
The jointists are still on the anxious
seat. They are still running. but are
somewhat more cautious than they
were before the change in adminiStra-
lions when they were sure of their
ground.

SAYS IT'S a BLUFF.
Cy Leland Says President Mckinley
Will Revoke the Order.

Cy Leland, who is in Topeka, does
not regard the order for the removal of
the Topeka pension office seriously.
When asked about the meaning OF
the change, he said:
THAT is just a move of Secretary
Francis, who, as you know, lives in
Missouri, to show the politicians and
other Missouri people what pull he
has with the national administration
The order is not to go into effect for
nine months, and before that time Nc
Kinley will have been inaugurated and
the order will be revoked. The whole
thing is a bluff on the part of Mr.. Fran
els, and the order will never be carried
into effect.
when Mckinley goes in it will be
cancelled. Topeka is a central location
for the district, while st. Louis is on
the very eastern border. The pension
ers of the west can get their money
quicker from Topeka than st. Louis,
and this is the proper place for it. 1t
evidently is one of Dave Francis
schemes %

Our Cumbersome IrOncIadS In
Great Danger,
Caught in a Terrific Storm On
Their Way
TO CHARLESTON S. C.
Vessels Not Sighted as Soon As
Expected.
But Believed to Be Safe, and No
Lives Lost.

Charleston, S. c., Feb. s.-Admiraf
Bunce and the four ships of the North
Atlantic squadron are still somewhere
out on the storm tossed Atlantic.
Up to late hour the lookout at his
toric Fort Sumter had not made out
any ships approaching the harbor and
great uneasiness is felt regarding the
safety of the sips of the squadron. The
Clyde line steamer Comanche arrived
after tempestuous trip from New
York, having been blown out OF her
course and driven by the storm and de-
layed by the force of the gale.
Captain Pendleton said that he wishas
never to be out in fiercer gale on the
Atlantic. He saw no trace of the ships
of the squadron ON his way down al
though if they had been near what is
known as the southern drill ground"
he would have passed close to them.
The dispatch boat Fern put out to sea
again yesterday with the special dis
patches and mail from Washington for
Admiral Bunce, but she could not find
the ship and she returned.
Commander Richardson Glover, who
has received orders to join the North
Atlantic squadron, reports that he has
seen nothing of the ships.
Washington, Feb Sup to $50
o'clock this morning the navy depart
ment has received no word from the
North Atlantic squadron, which is sup
posed to be lying off Charleston. The
officials do not credit the report of the
teras, and say they would be promptly
advised by the life saving stations over
telephone line of any such accident.
Washington, Feb. S.-Life saving sta
lions along the South Atlantic coast
have heard nothing of Admiral Bunce's
squadron. 1t would be the duty of the
life savers to notify the bureau here
promptly in the event of any mtshap
to any of the warships. Captain Rob-
ley Evans said today that in his opiu-
ion there was no occasion for alarm
Some of the vessels were slow craft
and the squadron probably was moving
along in concert.
Cape Henry, Va, Feb. s-No wrecks
are reported along the coast from Hat
tereas to Henry. This statement is
made as the result of an inquiry of the
life saving stations located at frequent
intervals along this coast between the
points named and shows that none Of
the Bunce squadron sustained nlishapS
on the dangerous HatteraS coast
Charleston, S. c., Feb. 81 p. M
The Fern and Dolphin of the blockade
fleet are already in port. Four other
ships are sighted, but cannot yet make
them out.
