The rhenters In Ianan.

The theaters are the very places to
study the japanese. In many theaters
the entire house is divided by rails
into square pens by feet, intend
ed for four japanese, but often con-
tanning half a dozen. The men and
women are barefoot, walk the narrow
dividing rails to reach their reserved
"seats." The patrons kneel within
these square pens, or, when there are
20 pens, they squat upon the floor in
little circular groups and smoke, eat,
drink, fan themselves and chatter.
Many come in and go out at random.
Children run to and fro. Frequently
the spectators bring luncheon and pass
the day within the theater, the play
continuing uninterruptedly.
The stage, which in some theaters
revolves to change scenes, has two de-
tached projections three feet wide, ex-
tending among the audience. Upon
these projections the performers run,
reciting and acting.
Their acting is sufficiently curious.
A villain slain walks off the stage, a
Jap mops with a dirty cloth the chief
actors face while he is speaking. The
prompter, dressed all in black, gown,
hood and girdle, will follow the actor
all around the stage. Other persons,
also in black, run to and fro across the
stage. Those costumed in black are
supposed to be invisible. Stage car
penters and helpers often stand upon
the stage and gaze and laugh at the
actors. and so On.-BaltimOre Sun.

who heretofore have claimed to be not

that party at this session of congress. No
one who is true bimetallist can affiliate
with that party, as II is apparent that
those who have heretofore prcIeSsed to
importance of the question or else had no
real conviction on the subject
1t is not possible that any one can hope
for aid to the cause of bimetailism
through the Republican party, and il
would be much more honorable for those
who are too weak to continue tina fight
for bimetallism to give in their adherence
10 the gold standard at once. There may
be some ignorant people who know so 1T
tie about bimetalliSm that they may &C
cspt in good faith the claim that the Re
publican party will some day do some
thing for silver. But surely that is not
the case with those who have been in
public life or have given any attention 10

Fire Creek. ". Va, March 6.-The
most destructive mine explosion ever
known in the New River district oc-
CURED at the Red Ash mine shortly af-
ter the miners went TO work early this
morning. Although the most heroic
work Of the rescuing Larty has been
going On necessarily all day, II is i'm
possible tonight to estimate the full
extent of the loss o. life and property.
More than fifty dead bodies have al
ready been taken out, and the number
OF the dead may reach 125 or more. It
is thought tonight that at least seven
ty-five miners are yet enUOmbed in the
wrecked mine.
The Red Ash mine is a large drift,
and the explosion occurred near the en-
trance, which was thus closed by the
falling slate, entOmbing a large num-
Der of miners. The scene of the dis
aster is between this place and Thur
mOnd, on the south branch Of the Ches-
apeake & Ohio railroad. J. Fred Effin-
ger of stanton, Va, is the principal
owner of the mine.
Relief parties from great distances
arrived as soon as possible. State Mine
Inspector Pinckney, with a corps OF eX-
perts, has been on the ground during
the day, rendering all assistance pcs
sible. and devoting his attention more
toward relief than to an official inves-
LEGATION as TO the cause of the disas-
ter.
The managers and bosses Of all the
mines in this district came to the scene
