THE AMEER's STAND.
Declares He Is Always Ready to
Fight For England.


London, March 9.-Thc ameer Of
Afghanistan has authorized his agent in
London TO publish the following state
ment of the policy Of Afghanistan toward
Great Britain and Russia. After saying
that he had had devoted much anxious
thought to the possibility of Russia talk
ing advantage of the Transvaal war and
advance through Afghanistan ON India,
his highness adds:
81 have come to the conclusion that
Russia feared Afghanistan, as war
with Afghans would mean a general ris-
ing of all Islam, which would spread
through Russian Asia. Russian has not
troops enough to combat such a rising.
Her hold on the Mussulman countries she
has conquered is insecure. They hate
her, and with ten times her power Russia
could not fight Afghanistan and India
successfully The Afghans prefer death
to slavery. and their women and children
are being taken by the Russians"
After saying he is willing to send nu-
merous troops to help Great Britain in
the Transvaal, but adding that the At
ghans are unaccustomed to the sea, the
ameer adds:
"But England's troubles are always my
troubles, her strength is my strength and
her weakness is my weakness. England
must remember that l am always ready
| to fight for her on land, here or i'll India
The ameer next refers to Il letter from
| the Indian government reminding him
that he had been faithful for 20 years
and advising retrenchmcnt in purchases
| of arms, MS otherwise parliament might
| become suspicious, and takes strong ex'
ception to such suspicious, saying it was
necessary to keep the country strong
enough to resist Russian advance.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Daniel Frohman's company will APP
pear at the Grand Opera House next
Tuesday night, and will present the very
successful American drama, ga Colonial
Girl" "a Colonial Grip had long run
at the New York Lyceum Theatre during
the fall OF 1898 and later was presented
in many of the principal cities. 1t has
everywhere met with unqualified ap-
proval and will probably be one of the
strongest attractions on the road for sey-
eral seasons to come.
Howard Gould, a clever young actor,
who for several years past has been play
ing the star part in ''The Prisoner of
Zenda," will assume the leading part of
Godfrey Remsen, the patriot spy, and
will be accompanied by a strong COM
pany, including many of the actors who
supported him last year in "Tne Pris-
oner of Zenda." Mr.. Gould is cred
tied with having made great success in
Godfrey.
Miss Marie Corelli has always had the
reputation of being an exceedingly clever
writer, and one notable feature in al
most all of her novels is the great dram
attic possibilities which they contain.
They are thrilling, interestings with that
peculiar charm that won't let you put
one of her books down until you have
finished it. And the novel from which
MIR. Thomas Il. Shea's great play of
''Slaves of Sin" was dramatized, was no
exception to that rule. In fact it is more
dramatic in plot and situation than any
novel that she has ever written. Mr..
Shea will present ''Slaves of SIM on
Wednesday matinee during his engage
ment.
Theodore Babcock, the leading player
in "Man's Enemy which will be at the
Grand Opera House, Thursday March Is,
relates very amusing, but it must be
confessed at the same time very en-
barrasing accident that happened to Mrs.
Scott Siddons. Mrs. Siddons, whilst
PLAYING Queen Katherine in "Henry
VIII" was seated in chair, said Bab-
cock-I think during the fourth act
but the chair was so small that when she
arose to make her exit, the chair stuck
TO her. For once during her professional
career the great actress nearly lost her
customary confidence and presence of
mind you may be sure.
"Way Down East" has proved a
record breaker among rustic dramas. Its
Boston engagement was prolonged be-
yond its original eight weeks and the
piece could have remained all winter but
Tor previous contracts, they come to the
Grand Opera House on next Friday
night.

1t is understood that President Kru-

Over,

Jim Wilson and Bar,h Keyes, who
were arrested and charged with steal
ing rope to the value of $50, had their
trial in the Mayors Court yesterday.
They had already plead not guilty but
the evidence was strong enough to
warrant binding them over under 500
bond, each, to appear before the pres
ent term of Common Pleas Court in
default of which they were sent to the
County Jail
The Mayor, in his remarks, stated
that junk thieves were becoming an
aggrava,ing source of annoyance tc
oil men and he was anxious to break
up the practice.
If they are guilty, it is hoped they
will be convicted.
