LOS ANGELES NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
cleverest actresses on the stage and a
great favorte in the east, will be the at
traction at the Los Angeles theater all
this week, beginning Tuesday night. in the
musical farce comedy, 1.-THE Nancy
Hanks" She commenced her career as a
comic opera singer and achieved an envi-
able reputation, but finding the field too
limited she entered into comedy with equal
If not greater success. Thus far she has
devoted herself to the lighter and more
frivolous forms of comedy, but 1t is an
nounced that she will henceforth adopt
plays of more stamina and quality, and
more commensurate with her talents.
Miss Jansen is described as remarkably
fascinating woman, with handsome, eX-
pressive features, shapely figure. sweetly
modulated voice and an infinite amount of
magnetism. Her intelligence Is of that
quick, energetic quality so imperative in
comedy. and her impersonations are al
ways finished and artistic. Miss Jansen is
one of the most extravagant and tasteful
dressers in the profession, and her gowns
have excited the admiration and envy of
the fair sex throughout the country.
The play, 1.-The Nancy Hanks" Is quoted
by San Francisco critics as clever and
funny farce, with lots of good points and
some entertaining special features. The
story is about a young French marquis.

fortune temporarily in a sailed gold mine.

Foreign Notes

"Cyrano de Bergerac' was produced at
Monte Carlo recently with the French
company that was organized under the au-
thor's supervision for tour of the French
provinces. The play met with an enthus-
iastic reception.
Iona Barrison, the eldest of the notori-
Gus Barrison sisters, has been expelled
from Germany. She claims American cit
izenship and has asked the American en-
bassy to defend her rights.
"Zaza" is the name of the play that will
shortly be seen at the Vaudeville. The
piece is by Pierre Berton in collaboration
with Charles Simon. The principal part
that of a music hall singer, will be origin
ated by Rejane. The play is described as
belonging to the strongly naturalistic
school of which "Germinie Lacerteux" and
Monsieur Betsy" are the prototypes.
The Figaro gives some amusing details
about Pinero, whose play, 1.-THE Magis-
trate," is being rehearsed at Theater
Cluny in Paris. Their truthfulness is of
course, open to question, as the imagin-
alive qualities of the French mind have
fullest scope in descriptions of foreign
people and affairs. Pinero, the Figaro
AYERS, was a clerk in booksellers store
a law student and an actor. He spends his
afternoons on a bicycle or playing cricket.
He is fond of transplanting to the stage
types of his friends, and he never assists
at the first performance of any of his
plays. Pinero's sense of humor is well
known, and 1t Is to be hoped that the num-
Der of the Figaro which gives this interest
ing information about him will fall into
his hands.
Verdi has decided to live in future in
Milan. He wishes to supervise in person
the construction of home for aged actors
and actresses. The great master has de-
voted the largest part of his wealth to this
project, and now he is to give all his time
and thought to its execution

another trial. All her sisters are married,
except Dorothea, the youngest. Pastor
Petermann is almost ruined by mining
transactions, when a rich elderly person,
one Muller, appears and resolves to marry
Liza. She consents to be his wife, after
some hesitation, but her sister contrives
to capture him. Lila, stung by her defeats,
pretends to compromise herself with an
officer of hussars and is almost excom-
municated by her father, who soon learns,
however, that she Is the most fiawless
flower of the flock. Everything then ends
happily. The play was capitally acted at
the Gymnase, but was not very successful.
Vesta Tilley has purchased from Charles
HI. Yale the English rights to 1.-The Devils

enormously popular for years. She has
also secured from John Stapleton the
manuscript of "A Bachelors Honeymoon

a pretty girl, or any other girl, out of coun-

THE DARK SIDE.
Tribulations of k,londike Gold Seekers bafetled by Storms and Robbed

The Globe Party at Skaguay.

Frank l.. Gates is in receipt of another letter from Joe Bartson, of the Globe Klondike party, dated ut Skag- uay, Feb. 5. They arrived there on the 2nd inst, and were living (baching) in l0xl2 cabin, for which they pay s20 rent.
 Bartson describes the trip from Juneau. on the steamship Oregon, as something awful. Passing through tho Lynn canal the ship encountered ter rife gale. The wind gauge registered velocity of l03 miles an hour, and the canal, one to three miles wide, was seething mass of foam and waves Fortunately, it was heeowind else the vessel could not have lived in such tempest The baggage ot the Corona which was piled on the forward deck was scattered by the wind and packages weighing 300 pounds were whisked to the stern of the vessel along the rail as though they had been straws.
 Skagaay is described as cold, dreary and windy camp, the ground covered with ice, and Joe said his bones were sore from frequent falls. Prices at Skaguay are nearly double what they are at Juneau and Seattle, and every thing scarce, large amount of freight for Skaguay merchants having been lost on the Corona.
 The duties on outfits at Tagish Lake are said to be about 25 per cent, and apply to even what you wear on your back. Notices have been posted by authority of the Dominion govern ment, that every person going into the Northwest Territory must have years supply of provisions, at the rate of 3 pounds per day to the mau. The order is imperative.
 The trail YVES thick with outfits going to Lake Bennett, 40 miles from Skag- nay. No reliable information to aid one in preparing for the hazardous journey can be obtained at Skaguay, and men returning from Dawson are very reti- cent. No reliance is to be placed in what you hear.
 Travellers are robbed on every hand. The steamship companies rob you on your fare and freight, and land your goods on a private warf, where you are charged 25 cents per sack the moment your goods hit the floor. Teamsters and agents of outfitters swarm about you. The Globe party had only their baggage hauled to the cabin and one trip cost them s35O. Experience is the only way out and it comes d--d high"
 Pack trains are charging from 22 cts.
