ADJUSTMENTS.

A laugh in thirty seconds-that Is the
record scored last night by the cleve-
land-wnson Mlnstrels, the opening at
traction of the Opera Houses 1883
season. When the curtain went up on
the deliberately staged first part, with
It's pleasing denouement from the yellow
silkeR draperies that Mt first hide the
band and performers, an audience that
comfortably filled the house was pres
cnt, In the face Of the warm weather.
The performance was good from start
to finish and It can be said without fear
OF contradiction that Messrs. Cleveland
and Wilson have, by their nmalgama-
tlon, furnished the amusement public
with a minstrel show that breaks all
records Of the past or the stars,
George Wilson, Hall. Emerson, Queen,
all made pronounced hits. The final
feature is Caicedo in wonderful aero
battle teats on the wire that have never
been cquallod by any other wire artist,
His act Is Embarrassing from beginning
to end.

THE RAILROADS.

The meeting of the traffic officers OF
the trans-contlnenta lines, which Is to
be held in Denver this week, 1t is fear
ed, may result In an open extension of
the trans-contInental rate war to the
freight business. The Railway Age, in
commenting on the matter, says: ut is
not certain that open war can do more
to demoralize revenues than is already
being done by the cutting now going
on, but the extension OF the war Is GER
tainlV going to make the whole conflict
more bitter and render the securing OF
peace In the passenger situation more
difficult.
There Is only one way IN which an
agreement on the main question OF
coast differentIais can be reached, and
that is by n personal EFFORT on the part
OF the President of the Canadian Pa
ciflc and the Great Northern. Reports
from the headquarters of these two
roads are not encouraging, and there
seems TO be no disposition on their
part to settle the trouble. Meanwhile
the lines whose interest in the matter
Is more remote, continue TO lose reVe-
nue..
1.-THE American lines insist on an alb
clifton OF the trans-continental dlfferen-
tlRls. The Canadian Pacific refuses TO
consent to this proposition on account
OF some private trouble with the grand
trunk, although It is understood that 1t
would be willing to consider the ques-
ton II the grand trunk difficulty were
settled a reasonable way to n solu-
ton woulA be for the heads OF three or
four trans-continental lines to meet
with the Canadian Pacific and grand
trunk and to ind out what settlement

The question Of removing the beltry

UP, but after some discussion, upon mo-
tion, of Mr.. Marschner, 1t was decided
to repair and paint it he contracts

The woodwork given to A. Beai, the tin

1NrpoRTANr MEETING.

This evening at O'Clock. just before

An accompaniment to to-night's meet
ing OF the city legislature may be the
presence Of large delegation of Island
erB-to the number of 100 or more. it is
said-to enter their protest against the
further hanging up in the first branch
Of the resolutions pledging council
against any concession to the Pan-Han-
de railroad at It's freight depot, foot Of
Fourteenth street. beyond the recently
established harbor lines.
Such display Of seHiment by Island
people was being discussed last evening
and 1t Is probable that II will material
Ize, Notwithstanding the fact that some
OF the rivers friends think the move

moters hope.

GEORGE IAEDMEssERs SUCCESS.
The IIo,el Man has Completed the White
Cloud improvements.

The Ho,eI Man has Completed the White
Cloud improvements.
George Landmesser's name has been
associated with several successful VEN
lures in Wheeling; he seems to know
no such word as failure. Perhaps his
most extensive and important achieve
ment Is one which has only recently
had Its completion-the remodeling, re-
fitting, renovating and additions to the
old White Cloud and Goodfriend hotels
on the upper Market square, and which
now In their amalgamated form are
known as the White Cloud hotel, larger,
better and more attractive than before.
These additions and improvements
have been in progress for several weeks
and involved the expenditure OF no In
considerable sum OF money. The result
is an attractive hotel IN appearance,
both from exterior and Interior points
Of view. The outside appearance Is
particularly attractive.
Mr.. LandmesseF was moved to this
large expenditure Of capital, first by his
Characteristic enterprise and second by
the belief that q moderate price hotel,
restaurant and bar in that part OF the
city would attract a paying patronage.
So far as can be seen his Sizing up OF
the situation was not at fault.
In the new White Cloud there are
sixty handsomely furnished rooms, all
of them well lighted and ventilated.
They are equipped with electric bells,
incandescent lights and gas. The Inn
proVements are not confined to the up
per floors. On the ground floor there Is
now the largest lunch room aud res
taurant in the state, with "Qulck
Meals" as It's motto and specially. The
bar Is fitted up with handsome and ex-
pensive fixtures, and Is stocked with
high quality liquors. cigars and tobacco.
In the rear OF the lunch room is the
dining room, also fitted up In up-to-date
style throughout. Taken altogether,
Mr.. Landmesser has fitted up the new
White Cloud with a seeming disregard
of expense which will no doubt attract
an increased patronage and prove ulti-
mately to have been good business In
vRSkment
