COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Mr.. Johnston, representing the lines
band, arrived In Topeka today He
stated that the band was playing to
phenomenal business all along the line,
the opening performance at Philadelphia
alone having netted the organization
close on to $4,000
Mr.. Johnson seems to think that the
sensational features of the programme
are largely responsible for this These
consist of scenes from grand opera
either Faust, Lohengrin'' or Car
men''-given by NoIdi, Boyden, Zerni,
Xanten, Alberti. Vernon and a spectac-
ular anvil piece, in which redshirted
anvil beaters, electric anvils, lower
light, a church organ, church choir, sing
ing birds and other descriptive effects
are prominent features
These numbers had been raised into an
immense popularity during the long
summer engagement of the band at At
lantic City. Those who heard these spe-
ciaI features talked them and Mr.
Innes has struck a popular lead by
placing them on his tour programmes
The band will be at the Crawford Fri
day night. The band plays a matinee
at Emporia Friday.
"A Wise Woman which comes to the
Grand Saturday, is said to be a great
accession to the list of farcical sue
cesses, as the bright jollity creates no
end of merriment. The plot is light and
filny, but the incidents and cOmplica-
lions are amusing.

AT A STANDSTILL.
Negotiations in China Come to a
Full Stop.

Pekin. Nov. %, via Shanghai.-The
meeting Of the foreign ENJOYS has unex-
pectedly developed a point Of difference
which brought the negotiations to a
temporary standstill. The matter will
be referred to the home governments
The conference adjourned without fix
ing date for reassembling. 1t is said that
the difference is such as will possibly
cause considerable delay. Ii Hung
Chang is known to have officially ap-
pointed certain ministers with d view of
ascertaining the likelihood of the powers
consenting to reduce the punishment of
Chinese officials to degradation by ban
ishment, but it is understood that he re-
ceived no encouragement. Reports
from Chinese sources say that a Ger
man and Italian column is burning vii
lagos to the northward.

IN A STEADY STREAM.
Orders Are Pouring in Upon the Iron
MANUFACTURES.


Cleveland, Nov 22.-The Iron Trade
Review this week will say:
One OF the surest Indications OF the
wave of prosperity that has been sweep
ing through the iron trade in the past
three weeks is the general depreciation
OF anything like a boom. The stream OF
orders has been SO steady from every
quarter recently as to suggest the dan
ger that last years excitement might
be repeated. Strong as the situation is
from every point of view it does not
appear as yet that the mistakes OF 1893
will be repeated. The time of year Is
against such repetition, producing ca
pacity is ample for all probable needs
and foreign iron markets are receding so
that the outflow Of export steel is likely
to be checked
The past week has given added evil
dence of healthy activity in all districts
and in all lines of production After
several weeks Of comparative quiet the
steel rail market took on new life, Pitts
burg and Chicago between them booking
100000 to 2000 900 tons of rail, including
a large order from the c., B. & Q. rail-
road, of which Pittsburg secured 10000
tons. It is probable that 100000 tons of
rail have been booked for 1901 delivery
and it is known that large additional
orders will be placed in the next few
weeks,

Those dreadful hot flashes, sending

New York, Nov. 22.-It was learned
last evening that the stock of the Anal
gamated Copper company will be trans
ferred from the curb market to the

meeting of the committee on unlisted
securities of the New York Stock Ex-

place the stock in the unlisted depart
ment was acted upon favorably. No
confirmation of this, however, was OBJ
tainabIe at the Stock Exchange or from
officers of the company.
The Butte and Boston Consolidated
Mining company, which is largely own
ed by H. H. Rogers, vice president of
the Amalgamated Copper company has
declared a. dividend of So, the first ever
paid by the company. This fact, in con-
nection with the recent manipulation of
Amalgamated stock, is regarded by
some as foreshadowing an important
movement in the "Coppers.''
