THE BlJoU THEATRE.
Standing Room Only" Meets Late Com
ers at the Theatre Entrance.

The biggest Monday night house for
some time was the f1attering opening
this week at the Bijou theatre, the ge-
NAL manager almost losing his voice
saying "All gone" to delinquent ar
| rivals, but his smile increased in pro-
portlonal intensity.
In the meantime a good performance
was going on inside. The Grenache
brothers opened the bin with am exhibit
ton Of dexterity in twtrling and manip-
ulating canes and short sticks, that
was quite bewildering. One of the
brothers also balanced himself in a
camp stool on slack wire, and calmly
ate an appetizing lunch from plate on
dining table also balanced on the wire.
Kathryn Proctor Bennett, called the
"rag time delineator," possibly because
her songs were given in almost every
other tempo but that, sang brace Of
negro melodies in a pleasant CONF alto
voice and a pretty little sentimental
sketch was given by Danny and Dolly
Mann, Barry and Bannon, as two old
Irish women a la the Russell brothers
excited the risibllities of the crowd and
also must be credited with a good deal
of talent for character work. Cliff Far
rell the nionologuist and musician, sang,
joked and played himself into instant
popularity, and Professor Struck was
voted a good magician by those who
had never seen one before. The hit of
the two Barretts' club swinging act was
made by the younger, apparently a
mere urchin, who easily kept pace with
the other in all of his feats, and the
vaudeville part of the program was
brought to a close by another youthful
phenomenon, Master Walter Leon, the
child mimic. Master Leon might be
called bfjou edition of Ray Royce. He
is much cleverer than that widely adj
vertised, precocious youngster, La Pc
tite Freddy, and sings and acts, if not
so well as his adult confreres, at least
much better than most children of his
age or older

istic picture of Mckinley at home, in
which the president is seen to emerge
from the house and come out on the

goes back to the house. Seven other
views are given, comprising a selection
of the favorite pictures of the past

NEW YORK, April SO.-The board OF
strategy has recommended that as soon
as it becomes apparent that the Span
ish hotilla does not intend to cross
the Atlantic, the Canary islands in the
Atlantic and one of the Balearic is
lands in the Mediterranean, probably
the island of Minorca, will be seized
by the United States as bases of sup
plies. If the Spanish fleet does not
come to us, the board of strategy has
decided that, to end the war, the Unit
ed States warships must attack Spain
at home. The best warships are GER
tain to reach the other side of the At
lantic considerably the worse for the
voyage. BY selling the Canaries they
can be made the base of operations
against Spain.

the war department on the LIST that
guns and other equipments could not

A RECENT dispatch from Montreal,
Can, stated that Spain had arranged
for the use of spies and that there were
a large number at all the seaports and
principal cities in the United States,
the men being experts in sketching
plans and getting information. The
spies forwarded their reports to per.
sons in Canada and Mexico, who, in
turn. sent the reports to Madrid.
The farmhouse and outbuildings of
William Curry near Valparaiso, Neb.,
were demolished by tornado on the
3Oth. Mr.. and Mrs. Curry took refuge
in the cellar and were seriously in
jured. Some stock was killed and many
telegraph poles were blown down.
A CYCLONE passed near Elk Point. S.
D., on the 3Oth and John Johnson, who
was working on a house five miles from
town, was killed. the house being de-
molished and much other damage done.

the first battle of the Hispano-Ameri.
can war was fought by Adm. Dewey's
squadron and the Spanish fleet at the
Philippine islands, off Manila, and vic
tory was with the stars and stripes.
The account of the engagement came
by way of Madrid which said the
Castillo and the Maria Christina were
burned and the latter's captain had lost
his life, the DON Juan de Austria was
blown up and several other vessels
were sunk to prevent the Americans
from getting them. No account of the
loss of life was given, News had not
been received at Washington how
Adm. Dewey Jared, but there was great
rejoicing over his apparently great
victory.

INST whnt He Wanted.

One of the first men to reach San Fran
cisco with hoard Of Klondike gold was an
Irishman named Finnegan who had been
very poor before he struck it rich, and who,
consequently, was unfamiliar with many Or
binary uses Of life of luxury.
"0i say, yez kin bring me two dozen eye
sters," he said, airily, as he took n seat in
one Of the finest restaurants in Frisco.
The oysters were soon set before him, and

to the table, keep still, or I'll put you out! b'

ST. LOUIS, April 80. Owing to the
recent destruction of powder mills at
Easton, Pa, and Santa Cruz, CAL, by
explosions thought to have been caused
by Spanish spies, managers of eight
big powder companies, having their
western headquarters in this city,
have ordered double guards placed at
all points where powder is stored or
manufactured. There are five powder
storehouses at Eureka, Mo-, near this
city and they are being guarded
closely, as thousands of tons of the
explosive are in storage there.

The "incalcuIable mineral wealth" of new

the Contents.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14-The Washing
ton correspondent of The World says
that Spain has not disavowed responsi.
bility for the utterances of Senor de
LONE, and does not consider that any
disclaimer Of that character is neces.
sary. From Spain's point of view the
incident is closed, not only as to De
Lome's reflections upon the president
and the American people, but as to his
declaration that autonomy is mock
cry and reciprocity fraud.
Such is the unsatisfactory informa.
tion contained in the long expected
statement from Mr.. Woodford received

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 14.-There will be no
postponement of the sale Of the Kansas
Pacific railway, set for Feb. I6, II and

special counsel for the government in
the Union Pacific cases, arrived in St.

the privilege of redeeming the claims
of the first mortgage bondholders on
the Eastern and Middle divisions. He
was also to ask for the appointment of
receiver
BY this means it was expected that
the government would be better able to
obtain better price than the reorgan-
ization committee had offered.
Mr. Hoadley was met here by attor.
neys representing the reorganization
committee and the stockholders. They
all held conference. The representa-.
tive of the reorganization committee
offered to increase the committees bid
to an amount equal to the principal Of
the government Indebtedness. The
offer was accepted.
The gentlemen appeared before Judge
Sanborn in chambers and announced
that they had reached an agreement.
The sale will therefore go on.

WOodford Note.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The 300.word
cipher dispatch received from Minister
Woodford was translated at the state
department during the day, but no in
timation of its import could be secured
from official sources. Assistant Secre.
tary of State Day, who has been en-.
trusted with the whole correspondence
by the president, refused to discuss the
message. He said merely that there
was no new development in the case
which could properly be made public
at this time. In one instance he sup
plemented this statement by the re-
mark that the mere fact Of information
being withheld is not to be taken as
serious indication. Every effort to sup
plement Secretary Days statement
with some information from the White
House failed. To urgent appeals for
something definite the president
Replied Through Secretary Porter
that the whole matter was in Secretary
Days hands and that the president re-
lied Oh him to handle the information
for the press.
1t was stated at the White House,
however, that there was no truth in the
rumor of a censure upon Minister
Woodford for allowing Dupuy de LONE
to forestall him in presenting the ap-
plication for the minister's recall.
Minister Woodford's course, it was
stated, had been entirely satisfactory
and any criticism at this time was un.
founded and unfair.
1t could not be ascertained positively
whether or not an answer to Minister
Woodford's s last dispatch has been sent.
1t is almost certain, however, that a
reply has been drafted and that it was
put in cipher at the state department
during the evening.
