Speaking of the Republican state
ticket we can gladly say that it has
every appearance of a strong, clean
ticket. To be sure it does look as though
the 'old gang" were there. But why
not? 1t was either them or the Tax
League. poor thing, what has become of
it? OF the two evils, certainly give US
the old boys. We know what to expect
of them, while the Tax League fellows
what arc they?- are thoy?-whore
arc the good silver dollars collected for
the cause--"to down the old gang?'
Again VIC ask where are those hard
earned dollars that lot of suckers gave

SOUGHT DEATH VIA MORPHINE
Jack Wallace Fails in an Attempt to
Take His Life

Jack Wallace of San Jose, a carriage
painter, attempted to commit suicide il
Dupee's lodging house. 321 East Second
street, shortly before midnight. He en-
gagged a room there about 10 o'clock and
went to bed. Two hours later he was
heard groaning in the room, and when the
door was opened he was found partly
dressed, lying on the floor unconscious
The patrol wagon was summoned and he
was taken at once to the receiving hos
pital, where Police Surgeon Hagan pro-
nounced the case one of morphine pois-
oning. For more than two hours the doc
tor worked with him, and about O'Clock
this morning succeeded in restoring him
to consciousness. The man then gave his
name. He admitted that he had taken
the poison with suicidal intent. but could
not be induced to tell why he desired tc
end his life. He is a carriage painter by
trade, and has worked at various shops in
this city, the last being Lamphere's. He
is 20 years of age. and his mother resides
on J street, San Jose.
For an hour after he had recovered con-
sciousness it was with great difficulty that
he was kept from going to sleep. He was
repeatedly asked why he had taken poison
but he replied that that was his business
Nothing whatever was found in his cloth
ing. and it is supposed that despondency
because he had no money, following q
spree was the cause of his action. Marks
on his arm indicated that he had formerly
frequently used morphine hypodermically
He admitted to the physicians that he is

THE ACTORS PHOTOGRAPHS

Made Everywhere

One of the heavy expenses of every the
atrical organization is photographs. Be-
fore one season ends companies that pro-
duce one play with practically the same
cast year after year, supplies itself with
photographs for the next season. 1t is the
fashion now for actors to advertise them
selves and their plays in frames of we'll
made photographs, in character or not, dis
played in shop windows Then they must
have big boards, with photographs of the
cast and scenes and characters from the
play, on show in the lobby of the theater
in hotels and on prominent corners. So it
has come to pass that theatrical people
have become important patrons of the
photographer. And it is a profitable pa
tronage, too, because actors go before the
camera oftener than professional beauties
and order much more literally.
1t used to be that only two or three pho
tographers took the theatrical pictures of
the country. Sarony in his day posed all
the celebrities before his camera and a
firm in Chicago and one in Columbus, Ohio.
did, with him, the bulk of the theatrical
photographing. The photographers of San
Francisco were also famous as photog-
raphers and took excellent pictures, and
such actors is reached the Pacific coast did
not return without having posed before
their lenses.
A change has come over the business of
photographing theatrical people, however
and new actors are having their pictures
made wherever they find a clever, patient
and artistic photographer. One picks up a
bunch of theatrical photographs nowadays
and finds Marion, Ind; Milwaukee. st.
Paul, Mimi; Chicago, Providence, r. l.;
Salt Lake City, Buffalo, N. Y; Grand Rap
ids, Mich. and very many with Kansas
City stamped upon them. AS soon as the
actors find a capable photographer they

man.! But is is probably a man who is

THE GREATEST DANGER
Is an Uprising Against Blanco and
Autonomy

HAVANA (Via Key WesD. March c.
The very keenest interest in Havana Is the
question of disbanding and disarming the
volunteers. These soldiers are In state
of great unrest. The colonels of their
battalions have tried to see General
Blanco on the subject, but he made ex-
cuses which they refused to accept or be-
lieve. Finally General Parade sent a
letter saying that no government would
dare disarm the volunteer, which was re-
enforced by a cable message to the same
effect from Senior Moret, minister of the
colonies at Madrid.
General disquietude exists. The dam
ger apprehendd is demonstration against
autonomy and General Blanco by the vol
unteers, whom it would be impossible to
control when excited. and reinforced by a
mob from the slums, and who might do
incalculable damage to foreign property
and to the prospect Of peace with the
United States.
The supplies for the starving Cubans
will not be taken on the cruisers Mont
gomery and Nashville. 1t is understood
the duty. The change of plan was ordered
from Washington yesterday or on Friday
A high naval authority. in the course of
an interview this evening. said: The
Fern is much better suited for such du-
ties. I do not know that the change of
plans was brought by Spain's demand.
Indeed. 1 am inclined to think It is the re-
suit of suggestion from Key West.
II fully expect the Fern Will be taken for
the supplies from here by the end of the
week, and you must remember that
though she is only tender of the fleet. she
is vessel of the fleet and of the navy. The
survey boat Bache will return as soon as
possible to Havana after her arrival here
tomorrow, and will relieve the Fern. That
boat can get supplies over to Cuba in short
order
From the general tone of this officials
remarks it was gathered that no special
instructions regarding the fleet had been
received, and no steps are being taken to
meet an unexpected crisis in Americas re-
incalculable damage to foreign property
lations with Spain There is much excite.
ment locally over rumors of disturbances
in Havana, but naval officials here exhibit
no anxiety.
1t can be definitely stated that the court
of inquiry will return to Key West. Prob
ably it will hold its final sessions here.

BEAUTIFUL GOWNS FOR HIRE
One Advantage for Ladies in Living
in Greater New York

An advertisement something like this has
been printed in the newspapers lately:
Evening and dinner gowns to hire; the
latest importations; selection brought to
residence
A reporter who had no particular use for
gowns as wearing apparel, but who was
anxious to find out just what manner OF
people hired them, went to the address
printed under this advertisement one day
last week and asked for particulars. The
woman who had caused the advertisement
to be printed was an unprepossessing mid
dle-aged person with a countenance that
suggested that she had come from the most
oppressed part of Poland. Her reception
room was her kitchen.

for rent said the reporter. May 1 see
some of them?"
DO you want to hire a gown?" she said
quite pointedly. Anyway" she added
without waiting for an answer you can't
see them. because we don't keep them
here: we keep them in our salesroom."
Where is the salesroom? asked the re-
porter.
"Oh. it's over on the West Side That

useless to persist in an intention to get a
look at those gowns. But after little urg-

LONDON, March 6-The Peking corre-
spondent of the Times says: Russia has de-
manded that China surrender TO her all
sovereign rights over Port Arthur and Ia
lien Wan for the same period and on the
same conditions as in the case of Ger
many at Kiao Chau. Besides this. Russia
demands the right to construct railway

Manchurian railway from Petula on that
line (near the river SungarD to kwang

Five days are given for reply and the
agreement must be made and signed within
a month. In the event of noncompliance
Russia threatens to move her troops into
Manchuria.. China will perforce yield.
BY this agreement Russia will obtain
the right to send soldiers into Lao Tung
ostensibly for the protection of the railway
engineers.
Russian assurances that the ports will
be open to the world are deceptive, mas
much as while conforming to these assur-
ances, Russia can convert the port into a
second and stronger Vladivostock.
The Times, commenting editorially on
the above dispatch, says: "Russias pro-
test is neither more nor less than a thinly
yelled demand upon China to abandon the
whole of Manchuria and the province of
Shin King, which includes the Lao Tung
peninsula.
IF China yields, those provinces will
practically pass away forever to be in
corporated in the cars empire. While
recognizing that Russias desire for an ice
free terminus for her Asiatic railway is
reasonable and legitimate, England can
not assent to the practical absorption of
two great and wealthy Chinese provinces -
