A GRAND SUCCESS.
Enter.ainmen. Given By The Sympheny
 Orehestra And Drsmstie Circle.

Tuesday evening the Flsgstaff Sym phony orchestra made their initial appearance at the opera house and was greeted by large and appreciative audience. The music was not only grand, but surprise to everyone. The overtures and selections were well chosen. The violin duet by Messrs Edwards and Hunewell charmed the audience, and had it not been that the prog nme announced mo encores,' V would have had to repeat their toll of pleasure over and over again.
 Miss Foreman, young us she is, shows careful study by the rendition of her cornet solo. MT. Hunewell also shows that attcntivness has made him a master of the violin. His solo ''FlOwer S,ng," was the neatest piece of work we have ever witnessed in this city. The balance of the orchestra, which consisted of Mrs. Fulton, Miss Ward. Messrs Mover and Milligan, deserve great credit for the manner in which they rendered their respective parts. In the midst of the musical entertain. ment one act sketch was given by the Dramatic circle, in which the Misses Gertrude Tolfree and Alethia Coffin, Messrs T. A. Finn and Palmer i'm pressed upon the audience that we not only had one Of the cleverest musical organizations in our little city, but that we also had talent that would do credit tOa city of ten times our size. Mr. Finn deserves great deal of credit for his careful training and untiring patience in selecting and rehearsing the sketch given that evening. The affair was, upon whole, one of the neatest conducted in our catalogue of memory, and it is truly hoped that they have received enough encourag- ment to give us a few more just such evenings of grand pleasure.

A TRIBUTE TO OUR SOLDIERS.
Swiss Merchants Speak os the Phil
ippines md Their Future.

Assistant Secretary OF War Meiklejohn
was very much gratiiied to receive yester-
day through Secretary of State Hay a
letter of recent date from United States
Consul General Dubois, in which the lat
ter relates a recent conversation had with
Swiss merchants. The latter held large
commercial interests in the Philippines.
and they not only speak ilatteringly OF our
trade conditions but of the yalor and dis
cipline OF our troops in the islands. The
letter is as follows:
u have recently taken occasion to ask
some Swiss merchants for information re-
garding the condition of business affairs
at Manila and Iloilo. where they have large
commercial interests. 1t will be crafty
ing to the department to learn that in ev-
cry instance the most cheerful views were
expressed and real satisfaction shown at
the present condition of trade. As one
gentleman expressed it, Our trade condi-
tions being good in time Of war we have
every reason 10 look forward to an era OF
great prosperity when peace in the Philip
pines is fully established
"One of these merchants quoted a part
of a letter from his son who wrote, in
effect. that the discipline and bravery OF
the United States soldiers have won the
admiration of all foreigners. The cool
ness and splendid courage shown by them
in getting into battle is marvellous, and
will not soon pass from the memory OF
those who witnessed their SURPRISING
Valor"

W. E. c. Coke. of Toledo is at the
Arlington. He said last night in discuss
ing the Northwest Territory Centennial
which is to take place at Toledo in 1892;
The city is already working hard for the
success Of the centennial as results show.
Committees have been appointed from
among the strongest men in the city and
State. and they have already begun their
programme of promotion. Congress has
appropriated 100000 for a Government
building, as you know. and Ohio also has
made a large appropriation. The other
States of the old Northwest Territory will
all contribute to the success OF the under
taking. 1t will be certainly the finest ex-
position the country has ever had next to
the one held in Chicago in 1898. and we
expect it to be close second to even that
great affair" The centennial is the most
talked OF matter at Toledo.
