George II. Broadhurst's new farce, 1.-THE
House that Jack Built" has created such
a stir in cities where IL has been seen this
season that Indianapolis theater-goers have
been eager for an opportunity to see the
very latest thing in farces. The name Of
Broadhurst attached TO a farcical play is
almost a guaranty OF a laugh-maker.
When, however, 1t is announced that the
piece is to be interpreted by company
which contains at its head three such we'll
known and popular entertainers as Thomas
Wise, Jennie Yeamens and Mrs. Annie Yea
mans, little doubt can be entertained that
the Offering Is meritorious.
The central idea of the farce, which Is
freely admitted to be devoid of anything
eavoring of profundity, is the plan of
millionaire TO win the heart of a young
woman he loves Learning that she is in
terested In people who work for their Hv
Ing. he DISCUSSES himself as paper hanger
and engages the assistance of a real men,
Der OF the craft. None of the reviewers
have undertaken to give a connected ac-
count OF the events which follow in light
ming succession throughout the play. II is
said that TO do so would, in the first place,
be too ardCous a task, and in the second
place would mar the enjoyment of any
reader who had not seen the piece.
Mr.. Wise, Mrs. Yeamans and Miss Jennie
feamans are surrounded by an unusually
clever cast, including Charles Cherry, Anita
Bridger, Alfred Klein formerly with De
Wolf Hopper and Miss Brandon Douglass
Miss Jennie Yeamans is credited with the
introduction or an exceedingly neat and
fetching vaudeville speciality in her role of
Lady Linton, a music hall artist
The House that Jack Built" will be seen

THE WEEK'SAMUSEMENTS
"a ROYAL Box, THE FIRST OF THE
WEEK At ENGiIsB's.
Modjeska and THE House That Jack
Built--ssDipIomacy, at Grand
-Hyde's Comedians.

"a Royal Box" the fascinating play
adapted from the French OF Alexander
Dumas by the late Charles Coghlan, is the
first attraction OF election week at Eng
lish's Opera House. beginning tomorrow
night and including a performance Tues
day night Andrew Robson. the rising
young Canadian actor who gave such an
excellent portrayal last season of the role
formerly handled by Mr.. Coghlan. will
again be seen I'm the same character. co
which he is remarkably well adapted. The
play deals with members OF the royal fam
lily OF England a century ago, actors OF
the old Drury Lane Theater, beautiful
women of the diplomatic corps, acrobats
Jolly tavern keepers and all sorts and con-
ditions OF people known TO the British
metropolis during its most picturesque
period. A unique feature OF the perform
ence Is that the audience while Witness
ing the presentation OF a play is at the
same time a part Of the play itself. One
Of the proscenium boxes will be deliberately
decorated and surmounted with the royal
arms, and in IL will sit the Prince of Wales
and his distinguished party. All at once
a scene Of the greatest confusion arises.
The leading actor on the stage has pub
lcly insulted the prince. Everybody
stands agEast, while the orchestra seeks
to drown the incident in a tumult of music
As acted by Andrew Robson, this scene
Is one OF the most realistic and thrilling
ever attempted in a play. The drama Is
founded upon little known and less ua-
derstood incident in the career of the great
actor Ermund Keene. IL deals with the
love OF both actor and prince for the same
woman. who IS surprisingly beautiful.
Mr.. Robson Is said TO be surrounded with
an eminently capable company and to be
provided with entirely new scenic pro-
duction OF "A Royal Box" the present sea-
son. During the performance Tuesday
night election returns will be read to the
audience as fast they are taken from
q special wire run into the theater.

RIVER IMPROVEMENTS.
War Departmnt Recommends Number
 of Harbor Projects.

Washington, December 6.-The War De- partment today sent to Congress reports on a number of important river and harbor projects, including that for connecting the Mississippi River with Lake Michigan by means of the Illinois River and the Chi cago Sanitary Canal. The total cost of this project is placed at $7,3l7977 for seven- foot depth or $S,659,247 for an eight-foot depth.
 The project involves the construction of twelve locks and two dams with movable weirs. The estimates are based on the assumption that all necessary franchises in connection with the construction will be ceded free of cost to the United States. The cost of an independent eight-foot wa terway from Sag Bridge on the sanitary canal to Lake Michigan, via the Little Calumet and Calumet rivers 0he Sag route) is estimated at $5,6S0,1S6, making a total of $14,33 ,433 as the estimated cost of an eight-foot waterway via the Sag route. The Board of Engineers expresses the opinion that the additional cost will not justify the construction at the present time of an auxiliary canal from the sani- tary canal to Lake Michigan by way of the Sag and Calumet route, and is also of the opinion that such route would not become a necessity until the commerce of either the seven-foot route should develop degree not expected for vars.

 ''The order to send 5,O0o Russian troops back to Odessa has been countermanded. They will remain in the far East until further orders. Negotiations for the peace settlement have not yet been opened says the Pekin correspondent of the Morning Post, wiring yesterday. The French, Ger man and Japanese ministers are awaiting instructions and Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang are awaiting more satisfactory edict The impression is growing among men of all nationalities that peace is inn possibIe; that a resumption of the cam paign in the spring is inevitable, and that partition is the only solution.

Williams de- cines to state what development in the af- fairs of the Seaboard Company, but it is said that the settlement of the pending lit igation of Thomas F Ryan to prevent the consolidation of the properties forming the new Seaboard Air Line Railroad Is the most important and is likely to be an nounced shortly It is also understood the conflict of interests between the Southern Railway and new Seaboard Air Line, which has been exceedingly in the past, has modi- fled recently. and that two routes will be opened under a general understanding be- tween the directors of the two companies as to rates and brain service Today's meet ings, it is understood, were attended only by Seaboard Air Line officials. President Spencer of the Southern Railway, and MT. Ryan were both at their office until late in the afternoon.

Refecling an Uncertainty That
 Exists as to Ore Prices
BUYING IS MORE MODERATE
The Billet Situation is Unchanged and is Not Likely to Show Much
 Change in Near Future. .sS .s Advance Contracts. sfzS

Cleveland, O., Dec. 6-The Iron Trade Review this week will say:
 .Steady buying in all finished lines, with quieter markets for pig iron, in contrast with the rush at election time and in the fortnight following is the present situation in the iron trade. The pig iron market is refecting the uncertainty that exists as to ore prices for next year.
 Until it is known what the basis really is to be, the practice of contracting for six, nine and twelve months ahead will not be resumed, The fact that an interval of more moderate buying has come to the trade in pig iron has not altered the very strong situation. and 1t goes without saying that this will be felt in due time in primary markets. No further advance has been made by furnace men in the week and the recent additions, with those about to be made to the active furnaces coming at the quiet time of the year. will tend to preserve an equilibrium for some weeks to come.
 ''The billet situation is unchanged, and is not likely to show any change in the near future the large contracts having been made for the advance It is found that the heavy export business taken on by certain of the steel companies in the summer IS giving the billet mills more than they can do to keep up deliveries to their domestic trade In some cases mills rolling steel bars have been unable to run to their full capac- ity, because they were compelled to take their turn with foreign buyers in the filling of billet orders. In general the export trade has fallen off sharply, owing to declines in European markets.
 Rail business has been active in the past ten days. Vanderbilt roads placed S0- 900 tons, and from other sources-there was good buying. The Chicago district booked 6O000 tons. The demand upen mills in all lines is well sustained, and prices are firm, with advances under discussion, particular ly plates.
 Structural mills are steadily booking or ders, and prospects appear excellent for spring work, many enterprises being taken up again that were laid aside early in the year Definite announcement is made of a reduction of freights eastbound iron and steel both for domestic and foreign shipment On the other hand railroads are comforting for the maintenance of rates on westbound, which have recently been somewhat irregular" -

Tar Fate.

Panther, ". Va, Dec. 6-Dr. Thompson of Williamsport, Pa, and Adam Bailey of this place were shot and instantly killed last night by James H. Chambers, promi- nent merchant of this place. The killings were the outcome of sale of furniture by Dr. Thompson to Chambers. When settling the deal last night he and Chambers en- gagged in an argument and then came to blows. Chambers ordered the doctor to leave his store. The latter did so, but re- turned soon afterwards carrying revolver. He told Chambers as he came into the store that one of the two must die. Cham bers was prepared for the emergency, and without rising from his chair, fired and the doctor fell He arose quickly, however, and sprang out of the doorway, shooting back over his shoulder as he did so. He had not walked three steps on the street until ne fell again and minute later was dead.
 Adam Bailey, a former business. partner of Chambers, was coming up the street, heard the shots and saw the doctor fall. He was an intimate friend of the doctor. Rushing into the store, Bailey pulled his revolver He leaped over the corps of pr. Thompson to get into the store. That was a cOWafulY murQer, CTltu DdllSy tO ChNAAA bers, "and you will have to kill me or l will kill you"
 No sooner were the words uttered by Bailey than Chambers, who already had double barrel shotgun lying across the counter in front of him, raised the weapon and fired. The contents entered Bailey's breast, completely penetrating his body, making a hole large enough to drop an egg through. He fell in the store, but Cham bers dragged the body outside of his store, and laid it beside that of Dr. Thompson. They lay in the street until after midnight, when a coroners inquest was held. A crowd gathered and Chambers immediately surrendered.
 At his preliminary trial today he was &C., quilted Chambers is a brother of Judge Chambers of this judicial circuit, and is one of the best known men of this coun- ty. Bailey until recently was a saloon- keeper here. He has been an enemy of Chambers ever since they were partners in business.
