COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS

La Fiesta de San Xavier" the ro-
mantle opera of old California, will be
put on by amateurs at the Crawford
theater Wednesday and Thursday
nights The story of the opera hinges
upon the difficulties of a. young novice,
Bernardo, who has been brought UP by
Father Anselmo. the pastor of the Mis-
sion, and head of the Franciscan order
of Monks, who live there, with the IN
Outstanding that his destiny is to be-
come a priest But Bernardo falls in
love with Celeste, the daughter of an
Englishman, who comes to southern
California for his health, and who fur
nishes the burlesque of the play.
Celeste reciprocates Bernardo's affec-
ton, and they are assisted in their en-
deaVors to escape the authority of those
who would separate them by Chiquita,
a Spanish beauty and the sole heiTess
to the immense rancho lying adjacent
to the mission. She is in love with
Sylvestre a cowboy, and has troubles
of her own caused by the fact that
there is opposition in her family to
what they consider a misalliance. The
bishop of the diocese appears in the
last act and straightens out all the
tangled skeins.
The Empire Stock company will be at
the Crawford theater on Friday and
Saturday of this week. Popular prices
will prevail. and the rule governing the
admission of ladies free will hold good
on the Onqning night.

Those Outside Combine.

Chicago, April 16.-The Chronicle says:
The retail milk dealers combination in
Chicago has gone to pieces and prices
have fallen to the rate of % quart
tickets for S1.5O-6 cents quart. This
is lower than the price before the com
bination last fall, when 16 tickets could
be had for 81, or GA cents a quart. The
rate since September l. 1899, has been
20 tickets for $780, or III cents a quart.
All of the leading retailers We're in
the combination. The promoters count
ed upon freezing out the small dealers
during the winter. but the revolt of pat
rons from the big concerns operating
scores of wagons each was so great
that the small dealers found an expan-
sion in trade that melted them to keep
up the fight and to stay outside of the
combination.
At a meeting of the combination it
was decided to restore old prices and
return to a, fiat rate of cents a quart.
The dealers, it was admitted, had lost
from 10 to 20 per cent of their patrons

MANAGERS STRIKE.
Will Have No Effect on Mines in Cen
trail Illinois District

Peoria, Ill, April 16.-One of the Off
GERS of the Central Illinois Soft Coal as
sociation, which controls all of the
mines in the 33rd district said this
morning that the mines of the associa-
ton would not be affected by the pro-
posed managers strike as nearly all of
the managers in this district are stock
holders in the mines where they are en-
ployed, have no grievance and will not
join in the movement. Should any of
them do so, their places can be supplied
from the list of owners as nearly all of
the operators in this district hold man
ayers certificates He says that it will
be found that this is the case in many
of the largest producers In the state. 1t
is also reported here on good authority
that the miners of the state will not
support the managers in their demands
as the agreement as to scale for the
coming year provides against just such
contingencies and precludes any strike
on that ground.
special to the Journal from Spring
field says that at 10 o'clock this morn
ing no demand had been made by the
managers and that the mine owners had
agreed to refuse any demands that
might be made.

HOWARD GOULD SUED.
His Former Valet Prays For $4,000
Damages.

New York, April 16.-Justice Fitz-
gerald in the supreme court has issued
a commission to William NJ Osborne
United States Consul General at Lon
don, England, to take the testimony of
William Pitt, on behalf of Howard
Gould, in a suit brought against him by
Frank Mowbray, Mr.. Gould's former
valet, to recover $25, 900 for injuries al
legged to have been received on board
Mr.. Gould's yacht, Hildegarde, in 1898.
In the complaint, upon which his ac-
ton is based, Mowbray, through his
counsel, sets forth that Mr.. Gould
''negligently ordered and directed him
to fire off for mere display a number of
signal rockets kept on board the yacht"
Mowbray alleged that he refused at
first to do as directed but on being
told by Mr., Gould that he would be dis
charged if he continued in his refusal,
complied, and was badly injured by the
explosion of one of the rockets. Mr..
Gould, the complainant sets forth,
promised to employ him for the rest Of
his life. but discharged him as soon as
the statute of limitations had expired.
Counsel to Mr.. Gould made no fur
Their answer to the complaint, other
than that Mr.. Gould had a good and
sufficient defense which would be inter-
posed upon the trial of the suit.

MR.. .WILDER,S HISTORY.
Santa Fe Treasurer Will Write Story
of the Great system.

Mr. Edward Wilder, treasurer of the
Santa Fe, will write a history of the
great railway system He will COM
mence work on it as soon as he has
secured all available material connected
with the early history and growth of
the road, but as yet is unable to pre-
dict the time of its completion. Mr..
Wilder has issued a circular, approved
by President Ripley, asking for history
material, which reads as follows;
'All Employees and ex-Employes of the
Santa Fee:
The remarkable growth of the Santa
F'e railway system during the last 80
years, and the natural passing from the
scene of so many of the employees con-
nected with its early years, and the
inevitable disappearance of much his
toric matter of value, suggest the i'm
portance of earnest effort at the pres
ent time, to collect everything now
available, bearing upon the inception,
organization and development of the
system, to be carefully preserved and
used in the preparation of an interest
ing history of the company now under
contemplation.
Several of the early employees, who
are still with us, have already contrib
uted material, information and sugges-
ton, and it is hoped that this appeal
will be brought to the attention-not
only of all employees, but of all parties
who have been in any way connected
with the road and its history or bust
ness, who may have material of any
kind which they would be willing to
contribute to the collection, or who
would be willing to put in shape theiI
memory of any interesting facts con-
nected with the development of the sys-
tenn.
Such material or communications
should be addressed to the undersigned
| and can be forwarded free of charge
by express, where desirable, through
| anV of our agents"

LONG NIGHT TAKE 1T.
Secretary of the Navy Would Become

Washington, April Is. - Secretary
Longs implied willingness to accept the
Republican nomination for the vice
presidency, as inferred from the state
ments made by him on that subject was
a matter of general comment in Wash
ington today. 1t set the Republican
slatenakerS to thinking, and for the
time being has serious upset the cal
culations of those who believed that the
honor would go to one of a half dozen
others mentioned for the vice presidency.
Secretary Long was called on by a num-
Der of persons and was importuned for
an exact statement of his attitude on
the question He seemed disinelined to

POINTED QUESTIONS.
Fired at Admiral Dewey by Com
mitteeman.

New York, April ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: To Ad-
miral Dewey has been given an oppOr-
tunity to explain fully his position in
regard to the Democratic party by a
prominent member of the Democratic
national committee, who has written to
the admiral a letter which may later
be given out for publication.
After expressing due regard for Ad-
miral Dewey, the writer of the letter
proceeded to explain that his allegiance
to the Democratic party is such that he
cannot restrain himself from asking
certain questions. He was, he writes,
happy to learn that Admiral Dewey
considers himself a, Democrat, but there
has been so much talk of third ticket
with Dewey at the head that he con-
siders it only fair that a more specific
announcement should be made than has
yet come from Admiral Dewey
He then asks whether Admiral Dewey
intends to let his name be presented
to the convention that has been called
to meet in Kansas City. If so, he wants
to know whether the admiral is pre-
pared to stand by any platform that
may be there adopted. The pointed
question is then asked as to whether
Admiral Dewey will, if he fails to Sc
cure the nomination, support the candi-
date named by the party. Permission
has been given to Admiral Dewey to
make public the letter and to answer it
through the press.
The only visitor at the admiral
country residence Sunday to whom any
political significance is attached was
Nathan Straus, of New York, who is an
avowed advocate of Admiral Dewey 5
candidacy. Mr.. Straus spent several
hours in consultation with the admiral
relative to the forthcoming declaration
of principles, which will be promulga-
ted probably on Tuesday. 1t is well
known that Mr.. Straus is cooperating
with Perry Belmont and other sound
money Democrats who are interested in
the Dewey movement.
The admiral declined to discuss the
details of Mr.. Straus' visit beyond say
ing that Mr.. Straus made a friendly call
and seemed to enjoy the beautiful sur
rOundings and the balmy weather of
Easter Sunday. A personal friend of
Mr. Straus said that New York could
be depended upon to give the Dewey
boom a decided boost in the near fu-
ture.
1t is rumored that the admiral will
again visit New York before he starts
on his western trip.

ODD FELLOWS TROUBLE.
Transfer of Insurance Branch Is Be
ing Investigated.

The members of the I. o. o. T. who
belonged to the insurance branch of the
order in Kansas are now looking into
the particulars of the deal whereby the
Kansas insurance association was con-
solidated with the Odd Fellows Arnu-
ity association of Des Moines.
In 1898 the odd Fellows Insurance So
ciety in Kansas decided to go out of
business and to transfer the policies to
the Iowa company. Now those holding
policies wish to have better under
standing about the condition of the
company they were transferred to- Dr.

tended the annual meeting of the com
pany at Des Moines in January found

bookkeeping was irregular. Secretary
D. w. Kent of the grand lodge I. o. o.
F. of Kansas said: This insurance

STREAMS OF JAPANESE.
Continue to Flow in the Direction
America.

Victoria, B. c., April 16.-Japanese are
still pouring in here The steamer Rio
Goodwin 1.1O0 The steamer Milos is ex-
pected today with eighty more and the
Braemer at the end Of this week with
over 700. The labor leaders are agitating
against this great influx of Orientals, but
it is said that the provisional and Domin-
ion parliamentS are powerless to enact
legislation to keep out the Japanese, for
the imperial government refuses to allow
the passage of legislation which will af-
feet its friendly relations with Japan.
MARITIME, the British Columbia premier, in
&. speech last night, said that if reelected
he would see that legislation was passed
restricting this immigration.
Yokohama advices brought by the
steamer Rio Jun Maru indicate that char
liable societies and possibly the municipal
governments of Japanese cities are tax
ing a hand in the shipping of a large num-
Der of japanese pauper laborers to this
country. The Japan Mail says that desti-
tute Asiatics are not allowed to congre-
gate at Yokohama and Toxic, but are sent
across the Pacific as fast as possible.

the Entire Job.

Johnstown, Pa, April 16.-At a speak
easy at mine No. 81, of the Berwind-
White Coal company. near Windber,
Somerset county, a riot occurred short
ly before midnight in which three men
were killed, one being shot and two
stabbed to death, and another man
was SO badly stabbed that his recovery
is doubtful. One Italian is supposed to
have done the killing. He is said to
have fed toward this city and the po-
lice here are on the lookout for him. The
killing is said to have been the culmin-
alton of a drunken row. which is the
outgrowth of trouble that has been
brewing among the miners at Windber
for several weeks, due largely to the
influence of employees from mines out
side this district.
