AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT

After an absence of several years,
William H. West returned to Topeka
Friday at the head of minstrel COM
pany of his own. A large audience saw
the organization at the Crawford the
ater last night, and enjoyed an excel
lent programme.
The comedians and soloisIs of the
West organization are Jointly RESPONSE
BILE for the entertainment in the first
part, and the features OF the second
part, with the exception of THE Storm
ing of San Juan Hill'' are satisfactory.
The latter is a weak arrangement, and
Mr. West would improve his perform
ance by either cutting it out or recon-
structing it on better lines.
During the second part a sextette Of
voices was heard in the intermezzo
from "Cavalleria Rusticana" and this
proved to be as enjoyable as it was un-
usual. The Lukens Brothers showed
themselves adopts in acrobatic work,
and the three Marvely brothers found it
a decidedly easy matter to entertain the
audience. A pretty effect was seen in
Eddie Horan's arrangement of Signal
Lights and David Meier won much ap-
plause by his punching bag exhibition.
Considerable special scenery is used
in the performance, that of the first
part showing to particular advantage.

ANOTHER HONG KONG.
Germany Is Making Great Improve
ments at Her Chinese Port.

New York, March ia correspon-
dent writing from Kiau Chou, the i'm
portant Chinese port under German
control, says:
When German authority was first
established over this port it offered
very limited facilities for the quick dis
patch and repair of vessels seeking it.
But no time was lost in determining
what was needed to attract the ship
ping interests and enlisting private
capital to meet the ascertained wants
A company was formed with a fleet
OF tow boats and iron and wooden
barges, sufficient for any probable de-
mands for towing and nghtering sery-
ice. This company is negotiating for
the acquisition of an extensive piece
of ground next to the Using Tau bridge
on which large warehouses for the
storage of imported goods will be
erected. The bridge itself viii be
placed under the mana cement of the
tow and lighter company which
viii provide it with the requisite num-
Der of steam cranes for loading and
discharging and also connect it by a
railway with the warehouses. The
company has also leased a second land
ing place for cargoes 50 that it can
respond to any likely requirement for
years to come.
I'm April the so-called small port
in the inner Kiau Chou bay will be
ready for use. 1t has a landing pier
over 500 feet long with a normal depth
of water from 20 to p feet deep, so that
not only ightering vessels, but smaller
steamships can discharge directly upon
it.
I'm about two years the construction
of the so-called great port" will be
completed so far as to afford a basin.
furnishing protection in every kind of
weather and ample room for a large
number of vessels. 1t is expected that
by that time a sufficient frontage of
docks win be furnished to enable large
vessels to lie alongside and receive and
discharge cargoes directly from and
into railroad trains

A Most Delicate Apparatus.

One of the most delicate pieces of ap-
paratus is that used for counting the
number Of cells in the blood. Medical
scholars tell US that in a minute drop
of blood no longer than the head of
pin there are from three to four million
of these red cells. In health there are
a certain number in a certain amount
Of blood; while in certain diseases, as
anemia, this number is greatly defici-
ent, causing pale cheeks. white lips,
transparent ears, and great debility.
This delicate apparatus has proven over
and over again that Scott's Emulsion
increases these red corpuscles faster
than any other known preparation, thus
curing or preventing the many diseases
and conditions caused by thin, poor
blood.

ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Powers That Be Talk About Action
But Fail to Act.

New York. March 10.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Although no effort is being made to
press negotiations for the permanent
delimitation of the Alaskan boundary,
it is said today that discussion of the
subject is in progress between the
United States and Great Britain. In
answer to the British for the establish
ment of the boundary at a point which
would give the English control of prac-
ticall5 all the Lynn canal, Secretary
Hay recently sent an exhaustive
memorandum which, in the opinion OF
American officials, clearly refutes the
British claim and shows conclusively
that the water way belongs to the
United States. The British government
has not answered this communication.
There is no doubt in the minds of Off
cials that the loyalty of Canada to
Great Britain win cause the London
government to be more insistent of the
claims of the Dominion. The United
States, however, holds that the Lynn
canal is its property and the president
has no intention of relinquishing it.
The ultimate determination of the coz.
troversy will probably be reached by
arbitration, the character of which will
be the stumbling block in the negotia-
