When Mr.. lopez was asked as to the

this he cited the fact that the German
consular officer on the island had re-

A NARROW ESCAPE.
appointment of a Tea Commission
Saved Our Lives.

Washington, Sept. 2S-In a report to
the state department upon the Formosa
tea trade, United States Consul John
son at Annoy, after showing that the
United States was only saved from alb
solute ruin by the creation of the tea
commission of the United States, goes
on to say that Americans may be sur
prised to hear it generally conceded
among experts that there is no country
in the world where a finer cup of tea
can be secured than in the frst-class
hotels in America and in the private
houses where an effort is made to
properly prepare it.
The consul says the principal mer-
chants at Annoy tell him that but for
the timely appearance of the tea COM
mission pure teas would either have
been driven from our shores or con-
fined to high price article within the
reach of but a small percentage of the
present number of consumers.

LOCAL DRAMATIC NEWS.

Newton Beers and his company in
the melOdrama Lost in London will
open an engagement of three nights at
the crawford theater tomorrow even
ing. This is what the New York News
says of the performance:
AT the Windsor theater last evening
unusually hne and realistic effects were
produced in the melodrana, Lost in
London The play is we'll known, hav-
ing made its success here before and
was most acceptable to the large au-
olence present, but the framework of
the dramatic scenes was of such an i'm
posing character that the acting-ex-
eellent as it was-almOst seemed sec
ondary. The introduction of singing
dancing and piano playing in the third
act was an innovation, novel and pleas
ing. The audience was large and en-
thusiastic.'
Sydney Grundy's drama, Sowing the
Wind which has enjoyed four success
ful seasons in this country, will be seen
az tne crawford theater next Monday
evening. The play deals with a phase
OF social life that is continually press
ing itself upon thoughtful minds, and
Yet which is of such a delicate nature
that few dramatic authors are able to
handle it in a suitable way for stage
purposes. The relations of the sexes
and their relative moral responsibility
for the maintenance of domestic purity
IS MT Grundy'S theme and he treats it
with the earneStnesS of a philosopher
and the skill OF a master. He brings
together as a principal and opposing
characters in the play a young woman
and her father, neither being aware of
their relationship to each other, the
girls mother having been betrayed and
cast aside by the father This man is
now the adopted father of his daugh-
ter'S lover and is refusing to permit
the marriage until the mystery of the
girls parentage is cleared up. It is a.
warfare of sex against sex" and is
conducted with passionate splendor on
both sides. The costumes are triumphs
in that line, being splendid reproduc-
tions of the style in vogue in England
sn 1880.
The first white minstreIs to visit this
city this season will be those under the
direction of Hi Henry at the Crawford
theater next Tuesday evening. The
company contains nearly so people,
among them some Of the best artists
on the minstrel stage. The Henry min
strels come to Topeka with the endorse
ment Of all|the principal cities of the
east.
