AT THE THEATERs.
METROPOLITAN.

Miss Ada Rehan's initial appearance be-
fore st. Paul audience last night was
not notable one because of the unfamil>
iarity of st. Paul play goers with Miss
Rehan's acting, but rather because of the
very finished production of Richard Brins-
ley Sheridan's 1.-The School for Scandal"
In which she Is supported by a truly eX-
cellent company.
Like all the Drury Lane successes,
THE School for Scandal has stood the
test of time and when handled by a capa-
BILE company 1T Immediately takes place
with the later successes of the recent
decade.
Miss Rehan certainly merits the envi-
able reputation which she has earned dur
ing long and successful career. Par
ticularly pleasing is her animated articu-
lation. She has an accent which lends
to the smoothness of the lines, and has
full control, of all the qualities of express
sion that have long almost been hers
alone among the actresses. Her cos
tunes, while of the eighteenth century.
were of the gaze-compelling character
despite the homely provincial fashions OF
that period.
Miss Rehan appears In four of-the i've
acts and each time with a costume of
surprising beauty. Wide skirts, brasa-
buckles, three-eornered hats, silver stuff
boxes and lace handkerchief are much in
evidence. AT the conclusion of the first
act the curtain falls on a minuet well
planned and executed by the company,
Miss Rehan and her company received
curtain calls after nearly every act
AS the country girl who is suddenly
brought from her rural home into English
society, and dignifed as Lady Teazle,
Miss Rehan gives color and action TO the
piece, exhibiting unusual familiarity with
the part. She has played it for several
years, and surely she could have never
been better in the character. Charles
Harbury, as Sir Peter Teazle, the Tuning
and restless old bachelor, who marries
late and has some exciting experiences
with his young wife, interprets the part
very close to the authors ideal, il would
appear. Sir oliver Surface, the rich
uncle. is in the hands of George Clark,
who has been identified with several sig
nal DAILY successes. Joseph and Charles
Surface, the two brothers. find very able
impersonation by MIR. White Whittlesey
and Mr., Eugene Ormonde. Sir BENJAMIN
Backbite is depicted by Mr.. Foster
Lardner as well as anybody. Mr.. Robert
Pigott, in the third act, sings a drinking
song which brought forth applause. Miss
Catherine Clinton, as Mrs. Candouf, was
good, and Mr.. Milford Clarke was an ex-
cellent Moses. Miss Maria Clinton, with
rare profile, a pretty voice and mass
Of raven hair, was altogether sympathetic
as Maria. Other parts were taken by
De Witt Jennings, Sheldon Lewis, Full
ton Russell, John Taylor, r. Roberts.

But Is Caught In North Dakota Refuses
to Return Without Requisition
Papers.

Great Falls, Dec. 4.-Louis Edwards
bartender at the Milwaukee Beer Hall
was found dead in his bed Sunday at
5 o'clock. The bowling of a dog at
tracted the attention of people to the
room. On the door of the room was
tackled notice reading: "Gone to
Helena, will be back Thursday" This
notice was signed with the initials OF
Edwards, but was in the handwriting
of his wife. Inquiry at the depot de-
veloped the fact that Mrs. Edwards
had not gone to Helena, but had taken
a train for st. Paul, early Sunday
morning. The police along the line
of the Great Northern were notified tc
be on the watch for the woman. The
body of Edwards was beginning tc
decOmpose when found and evidently
had been dead for some time. Edwards
and his wife had been married mum
ber Of years, and so far as known
there has been no domestic trouble
and if crime has been committed nc
motive is known for it. Mrs. Edwards
was apprehended today by officers al

Shelby has curiosity that is puz-
zling every one who sees it. A few
days since three-months-old pup,
weighing less than one and one-half
pounds and having a cats head was
brought in from James A. Johnson's
ranch.
On account of the absence of Pres
ident T. G. Power, who is in Chicago,
attending the irrigation congress, the
annual meeting of the state board of
sheep commissioners, that was to have
been held Dec. 3, has been postponed
until Dec. 10.
The coal mines at Aldridge were
closed down last week for an indefi
mite period. On Thursday noon all
tools were taken out of the mines and
all that could be learned was that
orders had come from Boston to close
the mines. Saturday all work was
stopped on the new ovens being erect
ed, and the coke that had been loaded
in the cars there was taken out and
piled up near the ovens. The smelt-
ters that the company had been furn-
ishing annulled their contracts, claim
ing that the coke was not suficietly
clean.

THE OPENING
SESSION
OF Congress Marked By Good
Feeling.
WINNERS AND LOSERS
Are In Good Humor-House Adiourns AS
Mark Of Respect to the Memory
of Dead Members,

Washington, Dec. 4.-The opening
session of the house was brilliant,
but not exciting. There were the
usual throngs in the galleries, and the
usual display of floral gifts, but the
proceeding were of the most peaceful
form, consisting mostly of rapping to
order and calling together of men,
bers. Despite the fact that the presi
dental campaign had just concluded,
the best of feeling seemed to prevail
between the victors and vanQuished.
The reading of the presidents mes
sage, which naturally was the feature
of the day, occupied over two hours,
and it was listened to with respectful
interest by both sides. Deaths of the
late representatives, William D. DAILY,
of New Jersey, and Hoffecker, of Del
aware, and Senator Cushman X. Davis
of Minnesota, and Gear of Iowa, was
announced, and as a further mark of
respect to their memories the house
adjourned until tomorrow.
When Speaker Henderson called the
house to order at noon the desks OF
half of he members were weighted
with flowers from admiring friends or
constituents, and the profusion of the
floral display gave the hall an appear.
ance of huge bower rather than a
legislative hall. Speaker Henderson
commanded the floor and gallery to
remain quiet and the chaplain deliv
cred the opening prayer. In his invo.
cation the chaplain referred feelinglv
to the deaths of the late representa-
tives from New Jersey and Deleware
which occurred during the recess. The
speaker then directed the clerk to
call the roll. AS soon as the clerk
began, conversation on the floor and
in the gallery was resumed, and the
confusion became so great that the
clerk could not hear the responses
and the speaker was obliged severa;
times to call for order. The speaker
announced that 25O had responded to
their names, and they were ready for
business. At o'clock the president s
message was laid before the house
It's reading was listened to attentively
The reading occupied two hours and
ten minutes time, but there was nc
demonstration during the reading, but
as the clerk finished there were rounds
of applause. The opening session OF
the senate was brief. The only bust
ness being the reading of the presi
dents message and administering the
oath to one new member.

MEMORIAL MONUMENT.
Union Miners OF Butte Will Homo,
Marcus Daly's Memory

Butte, Dec. AT a meeting of the
Business Mems association tonight it
was decided to accept the offer of
J. G. Calderhead, chief of the bureau
of labor, agriculture and industry, to
include write up of Butte in the next
issue of the departments official re-
ports. A committee was appointed to
take the matter in charge. 1t was
also decided at the meeting to give
way to the miners union of Butte in
the matter of erecting a monument in
memory of Marcus Daily. This was
done because, as many speakers as
serted, Marcus DAILY was so closely
identified with the laboring people
that they should have the privilege of
taking the first place in doing honor
to his memory by an appropriate mon
ument.

MESSAGE.
A Brief Synopsis Of the
Document
WHICHWAS VERY BRIEF
Not Over Two Thousand Words in All
Outline of Legislation Desired By
the Republicans.

Anaconda, Dec. 4. - The Anaconda
Standard this morning publishes a
terse synopsis of President Mckin-
ley's message which was delivered to
congress at Washington today. The
message itself is not over 10000 words
in length. The Standards brief
summary of the more important points
in the document is as follows:
Foreign relations-Full expiation of
the Boxer outrages is demanded, and
the real culprits to be punished. China
is probably unable to pay sufficient
money indemnity. Increased guaran-
antee of foreign rights is necessary.
Americans are congratulated on the
prizes won at the Paris exposition.
Restrictions have destroyed the
meat trade with Germany.
Settlement of the neutral rights
question with Great Britain.
Italy demands satisfaction for the
Tullulah lynching. Federal restric-
ton is recommended in such cases.
Lynching is again denounced.
The Isthmian canal-Nicaraugua is
ready to open negotiations. Ratifica-
ton of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is
urged.
Commercial treaties The ratifi-
cation of the pigeon-holed commercial
treaties with European and southern
American countries is again urged or
Congress.
| The Philippines - Instructions have
been given the commissioners to call
for the gradual establishment of civil
government as the rebellion is pu,
down. Natives to be preferred
when possible, for civil officials. Fun,
damental principles of American gov.
ernment to be applied.
The standing army 1t is recon-
mended that the regular army be in
creased to 10000 men, with 100000 as
the limit in case of necessity.
Funds-A reduction in the war taxes
to the extent of thirty millions recon-
mended. There is surplus of eighty
millions for the last fiscal year as a
result of reduction in expenditures
Merchant marines A remarkable
showing in the foreign trade totals
Mckinley again urges the passage o.
the ship subsidy bill
A Warning Hint-The country must
be careful lest it get reckless in it's
habits in these times of prosperity.

GRANTS A SIGNAL VICTORY.
W. J. Bryan's Views on 1.-THE Eelec-

tion OF 1900"
New York, Nov. 28.-W. J. Bryan
contributes to the December number
of the North American Review an ar
ticle On "The Election of 1900" in
which, considering the cause of the
result of its influence on the future
he says in part:
The republicans have won a sig
nal victory-a much greater victory
than the preliminary polls made by
either party indicated. At the time
this article is written the returns are
not sufficiently complete for careful
analysis, but, generally speaking, as
compared with 1896, the republicans
lost in the east and gained in the
west, while the central and southern
state sshowed comparatively but little
change. Again, speaking generally
the democrats gained in the large cit
les and lost in the smaller cities and
in the country.
"The republicans had another advan
tage in having large campaign fund
The republicans were also able to Sc
cure transportation for all republi
can voters who were away from
home. Instances are known where
prices of tickets were furnished fol
long distances. The democrats were
not in a position to secure passes o.
to pay transportation. This advantage
alone was sufficient to change the re
suit in close congressional districts
and in close legislative districts.
No Imperial Policy.

STAFFORD ON TRIAL
For Killing Deputy Sheriff of Valley
County.

Great Falls, Dec. 4.-The district
court of Valley county today called up
the case of the state against Stafford,
charged with murder in the first de-
gree for killing Sheriff John P. Elder,
at Culbertson. Stafford was a stock
inspector for Valley county, and claims
that in the discharge of his duty he
attempted to arrest Elder for driving
cattle from their customary range.
Elder resisted and threatened to shoot
whereupon Stafford fired, killing Elder
instantly. Self defense will be claimed
as justification of his act by the ac-
cused. The coroner's jury exoner-
ated Stafford, but more definite ex-
animation, which was conducted at
the request of friends of Elder resulted
in producing sufficient evidence on
which to hold the defendant on the
charge Of murder.

his political services for few days.
THE republicans had another ad-
vantage, the influence of which it is
difficult to estimate, viz: The aG-
vantage which accrues to an admins
tration while war is in progress. The
old saying that it is not safe to swap
horses while crossing a stream was
used for all it was worth notwith-
standing the fact, in this instance, it
was ocean instead of stream that was
being crossed; for Imperialism is an
idea of European origin. Many were
led to the support of the administra-
tion by the plea that the insurrection
must be suppressed before any plan
could be adopted for dealing with the
Philippine question. They refuse to
believe that the republican leaders
contemplated an imperial policy.
Potent Prosperity Argument. :.
The most potent argument, how
ever, used by the republicans in the
campaign was the argument which
compared present conditions with
those which existed from 1898 to 1896.
To the laboring man the republican
party would say, Remember how
many were idle during the last ad-
mnistration. DO you want to risk
return to hardtimes?' The prosperity
argument influenced many farmers
Mr.. Bryan gives list in detail of
the trusts, with capitalization ag-
gregating $7O0,O0O,000, that have been
formed within the last four years,
all of which used their influence in Sc
curing Mr.. McKinley's election.
Continuing, he says: "All of these
trusts and many others had a pecuni
airy reason for supporting the republi
can ticket, for they not only have en-
joyed immunity during the past ad
ministration, but they had every rea
son to expect further immunity in case
of republican success; while the demo
cratic platform and the democratic
organization were outspoken in theil
condemnation of private monopoles
and the candidates were pledged tc
aggressive measures for the extermin
alton of all combinations formed ir
restraint of trade.'
