The Bird Circus,

A great deal of interest is being
taken in the coming performance by
the birds of Prof. Montague's circus.
From all indications the birds are as
we'll trained as any that have ever been
exhibited in any country, and will be a
great treat to all who are fortunate,
enough to be at the Opera House Fri
day and Saturday evenings. The Gil
roy Advocate says:
'Prof. Montague is to be congratu-
lated for the beautiful entertain ment
produced by his marvellous birds last
evening, the fame of his show had
preceded him and full house was the
consequence. Good entertainments al
ways do we'll in our city, and the pub
lie is prompt in rallying to the supper
of such novelties as Prof Montag III
presented. His lecture was very in
structing education on Australian
birds.''
There will be matinee Saturda,
afternoon and the little folks should b
given chance to enjoy the fun.

A Pulling Letter.

Yesterday the editor of the APPEAL
received a letter, apparently from an
Indian at Sheridan. He Stated that
there is some trouble over land given
the Indians by the Government. The
letter is very hard to decipher, but as
near as can be made out it says that
six Indians have been killed or are
liable to be.
The envelope bears the imprint OF
Barrett & Tucke's store on the corner
and the Indian must have borrowed

WASHINGTON, March 16.-special.-
Captain Lamb had an interview to-day
with Chairman Burton, of the River and
Harbor Committee, regarding the propos-.
ed visit of the committee to Richmond.
Captain Lamb said that the committee
had decided that it would be imSractica-
BILE to make the trip next week, but they
would positively go during the latter part
of April or during the first week in May.
Representative Dovener, of West Vir-
ginia, member of the committee, said
to me to-day that the committee very
much regretted tina they could not at this
time make the anticipated pleasant trip,
but as there was no real necessity for
hurrying the visit, it was thought that the
weather and general conditions would be
mere propittous by a short postponement
He further stated that ladies, wives Of
the members, desired to accompany the
party, but at present were slightly indls-
posed This, together with inclement
weather, was another reason for post
pcnement. Concluding he said:
There is not member of the comml t.
tee. with whom have talked, that is
not favorable to the desired Improvement
Of James River, and as there will be no
appropria tions for river and harbor IN
rrovements at this session OF Congress, If
we make the visit any time before this
Congress adjourns and then have bill
pushed for the improvement. there will be
no material difference in obtaining the
same results.

Only two dates for the primary were

WHO TO BE VOTED FOR

Most OF the time of the session was

Jackson Ward trouble.
The friends of Alderman James I.
Smith were on hand to protest against
the action of the convention that no1nt-
mated Mr.. HI. F. Beck fer Alderman and
endorsed MIR. James Bahen, the we'll
known Jackson Ward Republican leader,
for place on the Aiderrnanic ticket.
Much time was consumed In the con-

representatives of the two factions with
a view to settling the trouble. They re-

Hea1y, friends of Mr.. Smith, and Messrs.
G.. X. Pollock, W. P. Yeaman. Philip
Neiz. and D. J. Mccarthy, who were
friendly to the ticket nominated by the
convention. Mr.. Smiths supporters were
not prepared to make pledge that thete
side would abide the decision of the cenl-
mittee and nothing was accomplished.
Representa- tives Of each side were invirsd
to address the committee, which they
did. Before vote could be reached on
the merits of the case q motion to adj
journ was made and carried.
It was apparent that had a vote been
taken last might the Bahen-Beck ticket
would have been endorsed.
