The Popular MinStrels.

The Georgia University Graduates,
one of the finest colored minstrel at
fractions on the road, will give an en-
tertainment full Of bright comedy, nice
music and side-splitting fun. Among
II large number Of press notices. all In
praise Of the attraction, we quote the
following from the Yakima Daily
Times of Mvrch 25th:
"The Georgia Graduates. who
greeted hOuseful of famusemeht lovers
at the opera house on saturday eve
ming, gave the people Of the city the
best, cleanest aud most entertaining
minstrel show ever given here. In fact
many who attended declared that II
was the best they had ever seen any
where. The people who compose the
troupe are men apd women Of educa.
ton aud refinement. Their specialties
in which all appeared As first class
artists, were free from the vulgar wit
that so frequently jars the sensibiIities
of mode st people. Their singing was
fine, the quartet being = omblnation
hard to beat. The comedy features Of
the performance were unusually catchy
and n'irth provoking. They presented
many happy innovations on the old
type Of minstrel-y and, all around,
rendered most enjoyable program.

uIgh Primo for Hay.

LONDON. August 3O.-The National
Review, referring to the recall of the
United states ambassador, Colonel John
Hay, 20 become secretary of state, says
II considers Colonel Hay to be the best
ambassador accredited here in recent
years, adding:
HE has spoken well and not too of
ten; he has abstained from being more
British than the British; he has re-
Trained from fuisome ilatterF, nor has
he INDUCED In post-prandlal Gush; but
ne has missed no fair opportunity Of
promoting friendly Anglo-Amerlcan re-
latlons and has been emphntlcally the
right man al the psychological mos
mcnt."
The National Review suggests Sena-
tor Walcott as Colonel Hays successor.

PITTSBURGH. Pa, August so.-The
iron and steel sheet manufacturers as
ISOLATION OF the United States met here
to-day to fix the price for the ensuing
year.
At the conclusion OF the meeting It
was announced that twenty-five estab-
llshments were represented. and 1t was
unanimously resolved on account Of the
recent increased cost OF blllets, sheet
bars and spelter, to advance selling
prices OF black steel sheets ten cents per
100 pounds, and Of galvanized sheets 8
per cent. In view OF the fact that the
demand for sheets is always very much
larger than capacity in September, oc-
tober and November II is not improb-
able that further advances will be
made later.

NO B. & o. CHANGES.

Receiver Murray, of the B. & o. road,
has repeatedly even more emphatIcally
his statement Of two weeks ago
that no changes are contemplated in
the traffic or operating departments OF
the b. & o. after the reorganization.
The dispatch from Cleveland saying
that Traffic Manager Wight and Gener-
al Freight Agent Catcher were to be
retired and be succeeded by Freight
Agent Brockenbrough and Assistant
General Freight Agent Stevenson was
stamped by him as being unqualihedly
false and without the slightest founda-
ton. He said that the reorganization
of the B. & o., as at present constituted,
was eminently 70 tlsfactory to the re-
celvers, and that the results were OF
such q character as to make any i'm
uortant changes unadvlsable.

HONG KONG, August sO.-The
Kwang-sl rebellion, which has been
quiescent for some time, shows signs
of serious recrudescence. The rebsls are
in great force fifty miles northwest OF
Canton and are preparing to attack the
city. Tan, the viceroy OF Lang Kwang,
protested against the surrender Of
KWanE-Chow to the French and when
the foreign office insisted upon the SUI
render, Tan telegraphed his resignation
to Pekin and handed his seals of Office
10 the governor OF Kwang-Tung. The
yiceroy OF Canton, having failed to dis
patch troops to protect the American
missionaries and suppress the rebellion
in Halnan, the United States consul at
Canton has made strong representa-
lions to the acting viceroy relterating
his demand for the prompt suppression
OF the general disturbances. The up:ls-
ing appears TO have been fomented by
the Triad and White Lily societies,
which have combined for the purpose.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 3d.
The state department has not yet been
officially advised OF the reported death
of King Malietoa, OF Samoa, and in all
likelihood must remain in official ignor-
ance OF the event for some time to
come. owing to the slow means Of COM
munication at the disposal OF the de-

here that the death OF the king will re-
suit in the overthrow of the present
