In the senate the resolution disputing

He opposed the colonial idea and said
that the new doctrine had taken form

1.-The Heart OF Chicago"

Few more effective dramas have been
sent on the road in recent years than
Lincoln ]. Carter's Heart of Chicago"
which comes to the Masonic temple Sat.
urday, January 2l. The story told is a
powerful one of love and intrigue and
greed of gold. 1t is constructed on
original lines and cannot be said to ap.
proach the stereotyped form of melo,
drama at any time. Quite as much inter.
est is felt, however, in the marvellous
scenic aids as in the story itself. In the
first act section of the great Chicago
FIRE is reproduced with wonderful hdel-
ity to detail and thrilling effect. In or
der to render the counterfeit as complete
as possible hundred things are being
done at the same time. Hordes OF excit-
ed people flee from the burning district
carrying their most precious belongings,
plunging horsemen, flying cabs, terrific
explosions, falling walls, flying embers.
groaning wind and hundred other mat
tiers of detail render the stage illusion
perfect. Not less worthy of praise is the
famous approaching engine scene, which
is said by many to be the best thing in
the play. 1t is absolutely unlike IN every
particular all other engine effects de-
vised. Other scenes of the play are a
birds eye view of the Chicago har5or
and the south side at night; the Masonic
temple; Prof. Gardner's theatre during
performance; typical Chicago street
scene and the worlds fair court of honor
during an illumination. The interpret.
ing company is said to be very strong.

Management This Year.
The results of the meeting of the board
of directors of the Chautauqua at Fort
Worth are not entirely what were hoped
for by Boulder people. The outcome of
the mee ting was no more than to assure
the ma ntenance of the institution this
coming year and leaves the subject open
for discussion again next year.
Two OF the Boulder directors, Mayor
Ricketts, and DR.. Dodge returned from
the south last night, the other members
Of the party, J. H. Nicholson and wife.
and w. H. Allison and wife continuing
on to Galveston. The latter will spend
few days on the Gulf coast before re
turning home.

sible deficit. The matter OF selecting a
manager for the year was not settled, al.
though communications have been open
ed with several experienced Chautauqua
men. The executive management OF
the institution was placed in the hands
of the Boulder members. The matter Of
details in conducting the coming session
will not be settled until later.
D1. Dodge states that the one year ar
rangement was the best that could be
secured under the circumstances. The
coming session will be the crucial one.
Neither the railroads nor Boulder will
want to commit themselves as to any
future years until the test is decided
Last year was an utter failure financially
but as it is understood that the manage.
ment was not what it should have been,
all parties are willing to give it one mote
trial. The railroads, Mr.. Dodge. said,
had acted in perfectly satisfactory
manner and the meeting was in every
way harmonious. The wish OF the Boui.
der contingent for the management to be
placed In the hands of an executive
committee was readily com piled with as
was also the plan for the appointment OF
an auditing committee composed of one
representative from the Chautauqua as
sociation, one from the railroad and one
from the Boulder council. DR. Dodge
says that the railroad will attend to the
advertising and will work the enterprise
from every point on its line. He states
that the future of the Chautauqua is no,
in doubt in any way. Under proper
management the present year should
show an even account if not surplus.
Thirty thousand copies of the Chautau
quan will be issued in February tor gen.
eral distribution throughout the south.

Carriage Riding in Manila.

Carriages are but little seen at night.
The native driver of a public vehicle
is not allowed out any more than II
native pedestrian would be. Hence,
there is no carriage to be had, unless
you are the owner or lessee of a private
rig, and even then you must be either
official, or sufficiently near so, to be
privileged to pass your driver by the
sentry. Moreover, every time you arr
halted in a carriage, you must leave the
carriage and advance on foot for in
spection and questioning. Over in the
San Nicolas district. around the port,
the sentries are SO thick that proceed
ing in a carriage is more tiresome by
far than walking. Every little inter-
val covered necessitates another halt,
explanations, advance, and the same
thing over again, about as fast as you
can enter the carriage and alight TIL re
is no pleasure in night ride through
the crowded parts of Manila.
But the end justifies the means There
are no native uprisings, and no posi-
bility of one. No city in the world is
as safe by night as Manila. Deserted
and nearly as still as the grave, it re-
mains. under martial law, until broad
daylight comes around again, When
windows open, shutters come down, the
populace swarms out and the busy life
of great city begins like magic with
the firing of the sunrise gun.-Manila

The board has notified the railroads of
its action and has set July % and 20 as
the days for the objections. if any, to
the above assessments. There is no
doubt the roads will be on hand to
protest, as the increase is consider
ably more than they expected.
The board also decided to assess the
cars of the Pullman company. 1t fixed
a rate of $1,000 per car for the Pull
mans operated by the Northern Pacific
and "a 600 for the Pullmans operated by
other roads. The reduction in behalf
Of the Northern Pacific was made on
account of the fact that the Northern
Pacific owns one-half interest in the
Pullmans operated over its line.

against the action of the state board
in changing the stock assessment. He
claims that the notices the board has
telegraphed to county board of equal
ization asking that changes be made
in the stock assessment to make them

cording to law. is earlier than the state
board has legal right to meet. In dis
cussing the matter, he said
You will readily see by referring to
chapter 5. section 37S to 379 and sec
ton $500 to $500. also chapter Z all Of
the political code, that the state board
is to meet on the fourth Monday in
July and must remain in session until
the third Monday in August, and later
IL business requires It, On what au-
thority Mr. Collins undertakes to state
that the state board has equalized the

derstand, but believe he is DESTROYS Of

The state board claims there are two
sections Of the code relating to the
date at which they shall meet and that
they are operating under the last en-
acted and that there is no doubt about
the legality OF their action.

GENERAL OTIS EXPLAINS
He Denies That He Has Sent
Misrepresentation.
HAS BEEN CONSERVATIVE
He Says the Correspondents We're Tn.
reasonable and Courted Martyr
dom-Their Charges Are
Untrue.

Washington, July 21-The war de.
partment has issued a statement quot
ing certain dispatches from General
Otis, in answer to the press correspond,
ents' round robin"
The text of the statement is as fol-
lows:
General Otis, in a dispatch under
date of July 90 says that the press cor
respondents demanded permission to
cable that official reports sent misrep-
resented conditions. This was denied.
They then demanded the privilege to
send without reservation facts found
by them and their opinion. This was
granted if public interests were not
imperiled. The answer was not salts
factory and they therefore sent by mail
to Hong Kong.
General Otis says he is not conscious
of sending Misrepresentation, but
thinks that his dispatches at times
have been too conservative. The pless
affair appeared to be threat. When
correspondents were asked to state
wherein General Otis dispatches were
gible except that his conclusions We're
unwarranted. When told that ,hey
were disregarding military authority
it was apparent that they courted
martyrdom, which it was unwise to
give them.
In later dispatch General Otis says
that the charges made by the press cor
respondents are untrue. He adds that
the most harmonious relations exist be-
tween the army and the navy. He
gives the following extract from let
ter Just received from a leading Fill
pino at Taralac, which is the center of
the main insurgent army:
For some days have been trying to
leave this band of thieves Watched
so closely impossible to leave. A great
many of the people here long for Amer
lean troops to advance, for everyone is
desperate with so much savagery COM
mitted by Aguinaldo's army"
Captain Barker of the navy, who sue
ceeded Admiral Dewey in command Of
the fleet. in sending the report of the
commander of the Yorktown to the
navy department makes this indorse-
ment:
Il am pleased to note the cordial CO.
operation of army and navy
AS bearing upon the statement that
the operations of the navy had been
mintmized, it may be stated that Cen
eral Otis has repeatedly recognized the
work of the navy as, for example, in
his dispatch of June Is last, in which he
says:
THE navy aided greatly on shore of
bay, landing forces occasionally and
again under date of July 8: The army
and the navy are in hearty accord and
the best of feeling prevails"

Bradstreet's Review.

New York, July 2.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: The general trade stu
alton has apparently lost nothing in
strength. The aggregate of midsummer
business Is of an unprecedented volume
and signs of expansion in the demand for
fal! and winter goods are increased.
Prices, except for the cereals, coffee, raw
sugar and dairy products, are either firm
ly held or tend upward. Notable among
the products advancing are pork prod
ucts, petroleum, copper, tin, tin plate and
raw wool. while the list also includes re-
fined sugar. leather. lead and cotton,
Crop prospects are encouraging, the
movement of grain to market is immense
and railroad earnings consequently con-
tinue TO show large increases over preced-
ing years.
Possibilities that the present corn crop
will equal, IL not exceed, the largest on
record have depressed prices of this &C.
real to an extent equal to the decrease in
wheat The corn yield in Kansas particu-
larly promises to be enormous, always
providing that hot winds do not affect the
crop.
Iron and steel retain all of their
strength. and while prices at the East
are unchanged, further advances in crude
and manufactured material are noted at
Chicago. Inquiry by Bradstreet's shows
tnat the scarcity u supplies III lHIS lHduS-
try has exercised some influence upon in
dustrial operations. Several mills at the
West are reported idle because OF lack of
material Structural forms of iron and
steel are also backward in delivery and
some new work has been discouraged by
fears that supplies OF material will not be
forthcoming.
In textile circles the situation il one of
undated strength but particularly in
wool and wooden goods. Manufacturers
are freer buyers at the East and their
agents are purchasing heavily at the
West. Quotations for fine grades are
consequently higher all around.
In the market for finished goods orders
of large volume, particularly in worsteds,
are reported, and some concerns are cut
ting down consumers orders, claiming
inability to deliver. The iobbing demand
for dry goods Is increasing slowly at the
East and the prospects are regarded as
highly encouraging. AdViCes from the
boot and shoe trade are generally salts
factory and little difficulty Is experienced
in obtaining the advanced quotations de-
manded. An example of earlier activity in
this line is furnished by the report that
Boston shipments for the first half of Las
year exceed those OF last by more than
5000 900 pairs.
Leather is active and hides are firm,
with a good margin of profit reported in
the former industry.
Business failures for the week number
ia, as compared with ia last week. 1SS in
the corresponding week of last year, go
in 1897, $50 in 1896 and 2S9 in 1895.
