There are few things better calculated to attract a Birmingham audience than one of Hoyts farce comedies, and 1t Is certain ly safe to say that few plays in the farce comedy line ever presented in our city could be more popular, or have given more real pleasure and satisfaction, than that in genious concoction of mirth and melody,

 It is interesting to note that after having acquired a success dn the comedy role in Goldsmith's play MT. Robson should have conceived the idea of having a play writ ten around the life of that famous littera- teur, whom he impersonates in his other comedy entitled "Olfver Goldsmith" and his success in both plays Is a fact that finds satisfaction in the hearts of Stuart Robsons innumerable admirers.
 The complete cast of "She Stoops to Con- quer' is as follows: Sir Charles Marlowe, MT. O. E. Hallam; Mir. Hardcastle, H. A. Weaver, sr.; Young Marlowe. Stephen Grattan: George Hastings, MT.

Ia Wrecked and Nine Prrs0ns ara

Memphis, Tenn, Sept. l3.-A spe-

Duncan Clark's female minstrel

nine are now dead and six others

CHRISTIANS MASSACRED.
The Corre.pondents in China Sending Out
Stories OF Observation-Disclosures Wreak-
Ing Vengeance on Women.

London, Sept. 13.-All the corre-
spondents in China are sending terri
bile stories of the wholesale massacre
of missionaries and native Christians.
II is asserted that during July be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 converts were
massacred in the northern provinces.
Large numbers of missionaries are
still unaccounted for and small hope
is entertained of their escape. Ma
tive reports are subject to the most
careful scrutiny, with the result that,
although there may be some exag-
geration, it is impossible to doubt
that in the main they are correct.
The horror is intensified by contirma-
ton of the reports that the women
were subjected to unspeakable bar
barities and tortures, being stripped
and slowly dubbed to death. This
was one of the mildest methods. The
boxers wreaked fiendish vengeance.

THE SITUATION IN CHINA.
Nothing Can BIZ Done Until tho Chinese
Have Restored the Government
Ut Pe9in.

Washington, Sept. 1s.-The passage
of the day without an event bearing
on the Chinese situation went to con-
firm the prediction made last week
by the officials that there would be no
immediate important developments.
Several cable messages were ex-
changed and there were some consul.
tations, notably between Acting Sec
rotary Adee and the Chinese and Jap
anese ministers and the French charge
daffaires, but these were without Wis.,
ible result. The general impression
is that nothing can be done until the
Chinese themselves have progressed
further toward the reservations of the
government at Pekin. Meanwhile the
military preparations for a winter
stay in China go on without cessa-
ton; though the officials are careful
to point out that these are only pre-
cautionary measures and are not to
be taken as an indication of final
determination on the part of the gov
eminent.
The Japanese minister, Mr.. Taxa
hira, had a conference with Acting
Secretary Adee yesterday concerning
the status of Chinese affairs. Japans
course has been clearly defined in her
answer to the Russian proposal. In
this answer Japan announces her pur.
pose of withdrawing from Pekin all
"superhuous" forces and continuing
there only such force as is considered
necessary. Just what number Will
constitute this superhuous force does
not appear, although it is expected to
be the bulk of the Japanese detach'
ment now at Pekin. The efforts made
by China to start peace negotiations
have led to the suggestion that
Marquis Ito, the distinguished Japan
ese statesman, represent that coun'
try in the negotiations. A strong
public sentiment has been developed
in Japan in his behalf, but he has ex'
pressed an unwillingness to accept
the post, feeling that the conditions
do not require his services.

UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Lord Roberts Issues a Proclamation
to the Transvaal Republic.
KRUGER VIRTUALLY A PRISONER.


London, Sept. 15.--Lord Roberts mas
proclaimed martial law over the en-
tire Transvaal republic, now known
as the Vaal River colony. In the
proclamation he says: ut is probably
unknown to the inhabitants of the
Transvaal and the Orange River col
ony that nearly $1,000 of their feI-
low subjects are now prisoners OF
war, not one OF whom will be released
until those now under arms against
us surrender Internationally, The
burghers must be cognizant of the
fact that no Intervention in their be-
half can come from any of the great
powers, and further, that the British
empire Is determined to complete the
work which has already cost so many
lives and carry to conclusion the
war declared against her by the late
governments of the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State, war to which
there can only be one ending. The
means / am compelled to adopt arc
those which the customs of war pre-
scribe as applicable to such cases.
They are ruinous to the country, en-
tail endless suffering to the burghers
and their families, and the longer this
guerrilla warfare continues the more
vigorously must they be enforced
Kruger Virtually a Prisoner,
London, Sept 15.--According to the
Lourenzo Marques correspondent OF
the Daily Telegraph Mr.. Kruger is
virtually prisoner in the residence
Of the district governor. This is at
the instance of the British consul,
who protested against Mr.. Kruger
using Portuguese territory as base
for directing his executive. The
French consul has been forbidden ac-
cess to Mr.. Kruger, as have also the
latter's own officials. The district
governor has notified Herr Pott, the
Netherlands consul, that he (Pott),
who had acted az the Ioer consular
agent at Lourenzo Marques, can no
longer be recognized as representa-
tive of the Transvaal, which is now
British territory.

Galveston, Tex, Sept, l7-1ester-
day was u dreary Sabbath in Gal-
weston. Services were held in the few
churches made I'll for use since the
great storm. All day men and boys
were at work clearing away the de-
bris. Only few dead were found
during the day and they were quickly
burned no attempt being made to
identify them, The military authori-
ties and the civil authorities are now
cooperating tremendously in Gal
weston, and consequently there is less
looting and dissertation of corpses
Sheriff Thomas is in charge OF the
isolated district and is directing in
terment and the recovery of property
there. United States Marshal Grant
has been given full authority by Gen,
Scurry and Is directing affairs on the
mainland, aided by troop OF Rang
ers who are ordered to make short
work of looters and arrest all sus-
picious characters, The Rangers and
the militia and civil guards stationed
at Texas City and Virginia Point are
under the direction of Marshall Grant,
These are the two points of ingress
into the city. He also has control
over all the railways running into
this city and all craft plying between
Virginia Point and Texas City and
no one can embark or disembark at
these places without his permission
unless having authority to do so from
his superior officers. 4
The destitute wishing to go ID
friends in the country are given free
transportation and are being sent out
of the city as rapidly as the limited
transportation facilities at the dis
pcsal of the committee on transpor.
tation will permit. The owner of any
water craft or railway found guilty
Of charging more than the regulation
fare will be arrested and severely
dealt with.
The cleaning up and disinfecting OF
streets, stores and buildings is being
diligently carried on, and the sani
tary condition of the downtown por'
ton of the city has been greatly i'm
proved.
Since all the railways terminating
here have united upon one bridge, and
are pushing the work night md day
with a large force reconstructing 1t
while the tracks are being restored or
the island and mainland by large
forces, II is confidently asserted that
Galveston will have communication
directly by Wednesday next. II this
is done, it will relieve the existing
situation wonderfully, as all supplies

note was sent to the Associated press

out from this place by whomsoever
NAV that 100000 has already been

without authority and calculated to
do great harm to the needy sufferers
along our coast. No such sum OF
money has been received or anything
approaching it. 1t is believed that the
stories have done great harm in that
