No American actor of late years has
made a more successful effort to mount
the plays of his repertoire with greater
historic accuracy, dignity and atten-
ton to detail than has Charles B.
Hanford. who appears at the Opera
House on Thanksgiving in his two
greatest representations, Virginius,
which he will present at the matinee,
and Marc Antony, in julius Caesar,
which will be given in the evening.
His scenery is rich and costly and the
costuming of his company is beautiful
and appropriate. Mr.. Hanford has ac-
quired among the profession and the
public an enviable reputation as an
adequate producer of Shakespearean
plays. Among other scenery carried
by him are the Booth-Barrett spec
tacular production of Julius Caesar,
and all the scenery and costumes used
by the late Thomas w. Keene, all of
which have been carefully rehabilitat-
ed so that they are as good as new.
Mr. Hanford's company includes some
OF the best known opponents OF the
legitimate and classical drama in this
country. Among them are John A.
Ellsler, Frank Hennig and others of
equal standing in the dramatic profess
sion.

W. Clifford, whose friends are legion,
will be united in marriage upon the
stage to a popular East End belle.

KNOBS O. Tennessee by he and Hal
Reid-as the scenes are laid in the
knobs or foothills of Tennessee
among their wisperings pines and
beautiful landscapes-Mr. Carter has
found ample scope for his wonderful
ability in this line. AS a writer he is
sharp, quick and snappy, while on the
other hand his conferee has made
some reputation as word painter of
pathos-this being proven by the fact
that his Human Hearts" is now in its
fifth year of success.

NO OPTION ON THE ALTON.
RumOrs Concerning the Sale of the
Road Denied by j. IA. Mitchell.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4.-The Republic to-
morrow will say: John K. Mitchell, one of
the largest stockholders in the Chicago &
Alton Railroad, denies that there is an op-
ton on that railroad, or that it has been
sold In this respect he said: There is not
a word of truth in it; at least so far as
know, and if there were l would know it.
BY that 1 mean if the controlling interest
of the Alton road had passed into new
hands would be promptly informed of it.
The controlling interest is for sale, OF
course, if any one will pay the price asked"
What that price Mr.. Mitchell would
not say. HAS any one an option on the
stock?" he was asked.
"No; emphatically no; and, what is more,
no one ever will
Has there ever been bid for the con-
trolling INTEREST,""
''Yes. there was; but it was not salts
factory one. As 1 said before, the stock is
for sale if we are paid what we want for it.

would be through that company, but up to

ance startled the financial world, arrived in
Chihuahua on Nov. %, and left on the
morning of the gath for Durango, where, 1t is
stated, he deposited large sum of money
in the bank. He remained only short time
in Durango, when he bought a return ticket
to Chihuahua. AT Jiminez he was met oy
his attorney, c.. r. Troxel and the two en-
tered into low conversation and remained
together until they reached Chihuahua.
They arrived here last Monday and went TO
the leading hotel, where they registered.
The man was undoubtedly Gillett, as his sig
nature corresponded with his signature on Il
document held in this city. Troxel left
Tuesday on the stage for the west, presum-
ably TO the mining camps in the Sierra
Madre mountains. Gillett is still in the city.
but his whereabouts is unknown, except
to the detectives, who are closely shadowing
his every movement. The report that Gill
lett had been arrested and held III custody
here is untrue. The Jefe Politico says that
the Mexican authorities have not seen him
and know nothing of his whereabouts He
will be arrested Immediately on the arrival
of the authorities from the States, who are
expected to arrive soon from El Paso Their
baggage is ali in this city, and on one of the
trunks is tag with the name c. r. TroXel
Three letters which have arrived at the
hotel for G. G.. Gillett have mysteriously
disappeared.

HEAVY RAINSTORM
Accompanied "a Gale That Played Hav-
Oc with TeIegrnph Wires.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. A heavy rain
storm, which began here yesterday, con-
tinued all of to-day with increased vIo-
lence, accompanied by winds of almost gale
velocity. Shortly before midnight there was
a clear sky. AT it's maximum the wind
blew forty-two miles an hour. Telegraph
wires from this city south were rendered
almost useless on account of the heavy
winds. Trees, swinging signs and CHM
neys were blown down, but no great dam
age is known to have resulted A few dis
patches received at the Maritime Exchange
told Of a very heavy northeaster prevailing
at the Delaware breakwater and other
points along the south New Jersey coast.
At many points the tide rose to the high
est point it has reached in years. No dis
asters to vessels have yet been reported.
At Atlantic City great damage was
caused to wires. and the city is in compara-
tive darkness tonight. Several private res
licences on the meadows were completely
surrounded by water, compelling the oc-
cupants to use boats in going to and from
buildings
Reports from eastern Pennsylvania indi-
cate the prevalence of heavy winds and
rain, accompanied in some instances by a
light fall of snow. At Shenandoah, where
snow fell, many small buildings on the
outskirts were blown down. Telegraphic
communication was also crippled. In the
mining regions of northeastern Pennsylva-
MIA the snowfall has in some places reached
a depth of six inches, with no signs of abate-
ment Traffic has been seriously impeded

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Among the passen-

speeches may be delivered on the policy in
dcated by the message. and also that the
calendar may be taken up. There are many
measures which have been reported, and
there will be no difficulty to find employ
ment if the Senate is disposed to settle to
routine so early in the session. During the
closing days of the last session Senator
Morgan gave notice of his intention TO call
up the Nicaragua cacal bill at the begin
ming of the present session. He unquestion-
ably will redeem This promise, and would
doubtless seek the first opportunity, but
for the possibility of change of sentiment
in favor of having the government under
take the entire responsibility of building the
canal. All the indications are that this
question will be one of the most important
subjects under consideration during the
session.
Opposition is developing to the bill which
the Hawaiian commission will bring in, and
for which early consideration will be asked.
There is a considerable contingent in the
Senate opposed to constituting the islands
into territory because of the apprehension
that they may be converted into a State,
and deliberate consideration of the subject
will be asked. While it is quite too early
to reach definite conclusion, there are 6e
cided indications of disposition on the part
of the Senate to confine the sessions work
10 routine measures and the appropriation
bills. and it need surprise no one if the
close session would demonstrate that this
general policy had been pursued.

NOW EXCEED IMPORTS
EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES NEAR
LY $3OO,OOO,OOO THIS YEAR.
Interesting Compilation by the Treas
Articles Sent Abroad.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-Imports of
manufactures into the United States in the
fiscal year 1898 were 80 per cent less than
those Of 1888, although the population had
increased rs per cent meantime. The Treas
ury Bureau Of Statistics, which presented
last week a table showing the growth in the
exports of manufactures from 1868 to 1898,
has now prepared a similar table showing
the imports of manufactures in the same
period. While this indicates that the i'm
ports of manufactures in 1898 were much
larger than those of 1868 or 1878, it shows
that in 1898 they were fully 80 per cent. below
those of 1888. In 1888, the total import OF
manufactures was 1925 100000 and in
1898 but $226, 100000, while the total
export OF manufactures which, in
1888 was $1SO,OOO,OOO, was in 1898
over 1921, ,OO0 900. The total export of manu-
factures in 1898 was not only the largest in
greater than the imports Of manufac-
lures, the total export of manufactures be-
ing $291, ,2OS, 1853 and the total import of manu-
factures $229 991 ,231.

growth of exports of manufactures and de-
crease Of imports of this class of goods re-
iron and steel manufactures, which. in 1868,
were $2S0OO,OOO and in 1888 100000. were in
1898 less than $1SOOO,OOO, while exports Of this
class of manufactures increased from less
than $11, 10000 in 1868 to $1,000 900 in 1888 and
$70000.000 in 1898. Silk manufactures, of
which the importations in 1888 were $93. .OO0-
co., dropped to $23, 100000 in 1898, while the
importations of raw silk for use of our own
manufactures increased meantime from
$190O0,OOO in 1888 to $91, 100000 in 1898. Manu-
factures of wool imported in 1878 amounted
to $25 100000 in 1888 to SAT 100000. and in 1898
to less than fifteen million dollars. I'M
ports of glass manufactures dropped from
1884, rs in 1883 to $2 27S2617 in 1898, while the
total expectation in the same period in
creased about so per cent, being 1881, ,62S in
1888 and $1,211,O14 in 1898.

ing: THE severest storm in years has pre-
vailed here to-day, doing many thousands
of dollars worth of damage to telegraph,
telephone and electric light companies. Poles
have given way under the weight of the
wet snow and hundreds of wires are down

and dangerous. The city is in darkness to-
night. Trains on all roads are late and

TOLEDO o., Dec. 4-The worst snow
storm on Lake Erie this season is in prog

are for colder weather and wind.
