The details were arranged at a recent

and Mr.. Cole. Upon the strength of
this, a contract was drawn and sent
to Mr.. Sells for his signature. 1t has

were objected to: the first, that winter
quarters are to be in Bridgeport, Conn,
and the other, providing that the con-
tract take effect in 1901. Mr.. Sells
insists that winter quarters be main
tanned here, and that the combination
is not to go in force until 1902. If these
things are agreed to the shows will
consolidate and be under one manage
ment and maintain but one travelling
organization. The active management
will be in the hands OF Lewis Sells.

WASHINGTON, January 23.-The
name of Senator Elkins, of West Vir-
ginia, must be added to the list of
those being considered for the Vice
Presidential nomination by the Repub-
licans.
His name has been discussed in this
connection by party leaders and while
the Senator has made no announce
ment of his intentions it is known that
he would not be averse to rounding out
his public career as Vice President.
Senator Hanna is understood to have
a most kindly feeling for the West
Virginia Senator, but believes that he
makes a better man for his party on
the floor of the Senate than he would
presiding over the deliberations of the
body.
Despite the fact that Senator Scott,
of West Virginia, committed himself
to the theory of a Western man
a few days ago, he would take off his
coat and work Loyalty for Elkins if
his colleague should express a desire
to become Vice President.
West Virginia is one of the States
On which the advocates of western and
eastern men could settle as a compro
mise.
In a public way it is said the only
objection to Senator Elkins might be
that he is looked upon as a
Friend of the Corporations,
but this. it is pointed out. would
strengthen the ticket in numerous
ways, while the presence of Mckinley
at the head of the ticket would satisfy
those who believe that corporations
should be held down.
To be elected Senator from West
Virginia again Mr.. Elkins will have to
make the hardest fight of his life. The
State is sc fixed by the legislative dis
tricts that the Republican party has to
have over 5000 majority before it can
have a majority in the Legislature;
that is, a Republican presidential or
State ticket might pull through by as
much as 5000, but this would not
elect a Republican Legislature.
The difficulty Senator Elkins will
have in securing his return to the Sen
ate is n of the reasons which lead
him to look with favor on the Vice
Presidential idea.
President Mckinley, of course, re-
mains non-committal on the question
of a running mate.

Contrary to the announcement made

Warren holds the position he gain

about 1,400 yards, is the enemy's posi-

1T is on higher ground than War

Warren are so steep that guns cannot
be placed IN them. But we are she'll

zer's and field artillery placed on
lower ground, behind infantry.
THE enemy is replying with creusote
n other artillery. In this duel the
advantage rests with us, as we appear
to be searching his trenches and his
artillery fire is not causing us much
loss.
An attempt will be made tonight
to seize Spion's Kop. the salient of

Gen. Buffers great turning movement

Gen. Warren holds the ridges but
the enemy's positions are higher. The
British artillery is trained on the Boer
positions and the Beers are replying.
The British infantry is separated by
only fourteen hundred yards from the
enemy, but an approach to the steep
slopes across the bare open would
expose the British to a fatal rifle fire.

There was quite a sensation at the mat

The hall was packed and damned to
witness a play by the Chester DeVonde
Stock Company. Miss Shoebridge, with
many others, was compelled to stand in
the balcony.
just in front of the girl, Charles
Ridgeley, a bald-headed man, was seat
ed, and the mischievous girl could not
resist the temptation for some fun.
She twisted her handkerchief into a
tight roll and then repeatedly tickled
the man on top of the head.
Ridgeley created much amusement in
his endeavor to locate the source of the
trouble and soon the house was in such
an uproar Of laughter that the play was
being lost sight of and the manager of
the Academy was compelled to hunt up
an officer, who roughly compelled the
woman to leave the hall.
She was Joined on the street by her
escort.
Miss Shoebridge lives at Harper's
Ferry, w. Va, and is on a visit here.
She is said to be highly respectable, but
could not resist the temptation for fun
which Ridgeley's bald head afforded.
The policeman was jeered by her
companions, but there was a general
cry of Put her out"
