Last night the Boston Lyrics pre-
sented Won Flotow's delightful opera,
Martha. The plot and lyrical merits of
the play are well known to all lovers
of opera; suffice II to say that the in
terest of the piece centers around two
dashing young ladies Of gen,.e birth
VINO fall hopelessly in love with a
couple Of rustic youths; handsome of
figure and speech and possessing in a
marked degree the ability to success
fully press their suit. Miss Nellie
Andrews as Martha, was charming
study, her intense love for Lionel being
a matter of serious moment, while the
affection shown by Miss Leekley as
.uilet was more of coquettish order
Both ladies were in excellent voice,
Miss Andrews rendition of that classic
ballad "The Last Rose of Summer"
being loudly applauded. Mr.. Parmley
as Lionel sang magnificenNy, proving
himself well worthy Martha's love.
Mr.. Rockwell as Plunkett was also a
decided success. Tonight Martha will
be repeated. Tomorrow, Mascotte.

A Protest To Congress.

Chicago, May ga formal protest
against the taxation of legacies to
charitable, educational and religious
institutions, was made to congress by
the Methodist Episcopal general con-
ference which characterizes such taxa
ton as contrary to public policy, and
to the aim and spirit of our national
inrtitutions, as practically taxing
directly the institutions which do most
to aid government and benefit our
people, and is taking money dedicated
to public use."

New Charges Against Neeley.

New York, May 25.-There is new
and more serious charge to be present
ed against Medley, who handled post
Office funds in Cuba, which involves
much larger amount than heretofore
shown. He is charged with having
converted to his own use the supposed
ly destroyed surcharged Cuban stamps
and instances are cited where he sold
some 2-cent stamps to stamp collectors
for as high as 20 cents each. There are
evidences also that Neeley's stealings
were begun almost as soon as he took
Office in Cuba.

donated property consisting of a ~
room house and six lots to the Florence
Crittenden mission for the establish
ment of a rescue home. The donation
was announced by Mrs. Barrett at the

admirable view of the city. Mr.. c. N.
Crittenden of New York has donated
$1,000 with which to thoroughly re-
pair, overhaul and furnish the house.
Mr.. Crittenden has also given 500

Boer Army Is Voting.

London, May 26.-What the Beers
are doing is an absolute mystery. The
embargo of news out of Pretoria has
been complete. Such shreds OF in
formation as the correspondents at
Lourenzo Marques have picked up do
not illuminate the Boer designs and
dispositions further than that the
movement toward Lydenburg con-
tinues and that referendum on the
question of continuing the war is
going among the Boer fighting men.
1t may be a fortnight before the
results of this singular vote are fully
before the Transvaal people.

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.
Adjustment Of Prices Will Bring
Activity In Trade.
MARKETS WAITlNG--NOT DULL.

New York, May 2s.-R. G. Dun's
Weekly review of trade says: Weak
ness in wool, as yet not enough to
prompt heavy buying, has hindered
free purchases of goods, without
doubt, and there is Of late somewhat
more complaint of cancellations and OF
slow collections But the market is
waiting rather than unhealthy, ana
with quick adjustment to lower
range of prices for material, might
soon become active as at any other
time for years. The silk manufacture
is helped by reduction in prices OF raw
and the decline in Manila hemp also
aids manufacture which is beginning
to accomplish more than many realize.
Doubt about sufficient supplies OF
steel-making iron for coming months
seems the one impediment to renewal
of activity. Tin is also shade lower
with copper and lead unchanged this
week.
Sudden and extensive changes are
now reported in leather and boots and
shoes, apparently resulting from the
unyielding refusal of many dealers to
place anything like their usual orders
for the season at prices recently asked.
Concessions are now reported at ~ to
cents per pair in leading grades for
which such reduction was not reported
week ago, so that the general decline
averages about per cent. 1t was
doubtless based in part upon consider
able concessions in leather, as it now
appears that subsequently all staple
grades have been sold at prices Il to
TX cents below those recently quoted,
the fall averaging about 81 per cent.
The movement of breadstuffs has not
materially changed, Atlantic exports
of wheat, flour included, having been
in four weeks 10,405,397 bushels,
against s,675, 1855 last year. Pacific
exports 2,791, 791, against 1882, 7O3 last
year, and exports of corn 13,917,631,
against 1O,267, 669 last year. Prices
have changed very little, the excite
ment being concentrated upon cotton,
which declined 7-16c.

GOV. STEPHENS interviewed

ciaI Power.
THE INJUNCTION VIOLATED.

st. Louis, May Ex-Governor Ste
phens talked freely of the strike situa-
ton. "I am satisfied" said he, that
the trouble along the street car lines
and the whole spirit of the anarchy
which 1 find prevails so largely in the
city Of st. Louis at present is being
fomented and extended by the machi-
nations of certain coterie of politicians
who hope by their course to in some
manner make gains in the party pri-
maries. This element are responsible
for the many effigies of myself and the
police authorities which find dangling
from poles and trolley lines on many
streets. 1t is as result of their move
ments that have received many letters
threatening my life should l continue
to do my duty and provide officers to
keep the peace.
Il desire you to say further, that if,
as governor of Missouri, with all the
power vested in that office for the pur-
pose, can put an end to the disgrace
full may say bominable-condition
that prevails in St. Louis, l shall en-
ploy every iota of that power. The
first step would naturally be to call on
the sheriff for assistance; the second to
call on the militia of the state. shall
not hesitate to perform either duty, if,
after further conference with the duly
delegated authorities in the city, l
shall come to the conclusion that other
and lesser means cannot restore the
city to order"
U. s. District Attorney Rozier said
that the federal injunction to prevent
interference with the postal cars of the
st. Louis Transit company had been
repeatedly violated.
After nearly three weeks settle
ment seems further away than ever,
neither side to the controversy seeming
willing to advance any proposition to
end it.
Thus far no general sympathy strike
among labor unions has been called as
had been expected there would be.
The different trades and labor organi-
cations are showing their sympathy
with the strikers in another way, by
contributing to their support and pass
ing rules fining members for riding on
the street cars.

The Kansas PenitentIary.

Leavenworth, May 2s.-Warden
Tomlinson in discussing the work of
the state prison said that many valua-
BILE improvements had been made to
the property during the last year.
Among these was the building of the
Irvine plant at cost of $4,000, brick
warehouse for the Irvine plant, brick
plant and school house In addition
to this the shafts have been retimbered,
new wells made and 1000 feet of track
laid for the coal cars. The cost of the
improvements has aggregated 500, 900.

Denmark Holding For High Bids.

Copenhagen, May 23.-The Danish
government intends to issue an official
account of the negotiations with the
United States over the Danish West
Indies. The premier will not enter
into further negotiations with the
United States or with any other state
for the sale of the islands, and unless
the United States government makes
such definite and advantageous offer
that the Danish authorities would feel
unable to decline il, the present gov
eminent is resolved not to sever Den
marks colonial possessions.

Nothing Very Definite.

London, May 24.-Johannesburg and
Pretoria are being cleared of non-com-
batants. The Boer chiefs, who now
recognize the possibility that they will
have to defend those cities, are prcpar-
ing with the utmost haste. Neverthe-
less, according to the Daily Chronicle,
long messages in Dutch have been
received by the British government by
way of Amsterdam, in which President
Kruger seeks peace. According to one
account, President Kruger surrenders
Internationally; according to another
he asks for terms.

Patriotism Uncorked.

London, May 2s.-Under the stimu-
lus of the relief of Mafeking and Lord
Roberts rapid and successful progress,
the Queens birthday was celebrated
throughout the empire with almost
unprecedented rejoicings. The two
fold nature of the celebrations gave
the occasion unusual brilliancy. The
recent demonstrations only whetted
the public appetite for displays of pa
triotic feelings and consequently, the
day was chosen for all kinds of func-
lions in connection with the war.

ingalls, Answers Speer.

Topeka, May 2s.-John ]. Ingalls,
writes to the Mail and Breeze in reply
to John Speers statement that Josiah
Miller of Lawrence originated the
motto on the Kansas State seal. He
says:
81 was secretary of senate, not clerk
of Miller's committee. The motto is
as old as Josephus-it may be found
in every Latin phrase book, and the
appendix to all dictionaries. 1t is one
of the commonest notices in heraldry
and is borne, l suppose, by hundred
families in England with their coats
of-arms. The first time l ever saw it
was on an old brass seal in the Office
of the gentleman with whom l read
law in Haverhill, Mass, in 1857. The
same thought is expressed in many
different ways, but 'ad astra per as
pera seemed the most melodious and
so l selected it for my sketch.
"With motto as with proverb, the
question is not whether it is original,
but whether it is appropriate. l re-
member Judge Miller well, and am
glad to know from Mr.. Speer that he
was the author of the phrase. He
must have been an older man than l
supposed"

oo,cer, Not Favored Above Privates.

Washington, May 24.-The war de-
partment has refused to accept the
resignation of seven officers of the
voluntary army now in the Philippines,
inasmuch as the war department has
uniformly refused to allow enlisted
men to be discharged without good
cause. il would not be fair to discrim-
mate in favor of officers. The latter
were told that they would be held
strictly to their contracts. Nothing
but absolute disability would be
recognized as sufficient for release.

Claim No Diplomatic Character.

Washington, May 24.-It is surmised
that if the Boer delegates have creden-
tials comforting diplomatic powers
upon them they purposely refrained
from presenting them in order to
avoid dislocation of their plans for
the future Having had reason to an
ticipate the declination of the United
States government to intervene in be-
half of the republics it is surmised
taat the delegates refrained from en-
deavoring to establish a diplomatic
character, to reduce the liability to in
terruption in the propaganda they are
about to conduct in the country-at-

BRlSTOW SHAPING THINGS.
Dispenses with Overmuch OnioIals and
Cuts Salaries

Havana, May 2s.-Director Of Posts
Bristow is strengthening out the
tangles in the department and looking
for evidence against Nicely and those
associated with him in the frauds. He
is also recognizing the department on
a more economical basis. There exist
ed solicitors bureau, with solicitor
at salary of So, 500; and assistant soli-
citor, salary SO, 900 and stenographer,
salary 81, 400. The offices of solicitor
and assistant solicitor have been abol-
ished and a law clerk has been ap-
pointed at salary of $1,000, reducing
the expenses from $500 to SO, 400, the
stenographer being retained. On Gen
eral Woods recommendation, Mr.. Bris-
tow has appointed George r. Buchanan
as disbursing officer at salary OF
So, 900, the office of superintendent OF
posts, with salary of s., 800 attached,
being abolished. The latter officer
had charge of the disbursements. On
General Woods approval the treasurer
of the island will place the amount to
the credit of the disbursing officer,
who will check against it for salaries
and all bills incurred. The disbursing
officer will have to give bond in the
sum Of $1,000. This reform will rem
der it impossible for the department
to lose anything.
Assistant Auditor Reynolds, who
was suspended, has returned to duty,
not the slightest evidence to connect
him with the frauds having been found.
The original step against him was
taken merely to make sure that the
government was protected.

TAKE A HAND IN CHINA.
State Department Tells China It
Must Protect Americans.
OPERATIONS OF THE BOXERS.

Washington, May 2s.-The United
States government has taken hand
In the suppression of the boxers in
China. Minister Conger has been
instructed by the state department to
inform the Chinese government that
the government Of the United States
expects it to stamp out promptly and
thoroughly this society and to provide
proper guarantees for the maintenance
OF peace and the protection OF the life
and property of Americans in China,
all now threatened by the operations
of the Boxers. There is no indication
in the instructions as to the course
that will be used by the United States
in case the Chinese government fails to
observe the warning conveyed in this
communication. Mr.. Conger is acting
on parallel lines with the representa-
tives of every European power at the
Chinese court, but has not joined in
any concert of action. 1t is realized
here that the Chinese government in
dealing with the Boxers will encounter
much difficulty, as the society claims
to be purely patriotic in purposes. Its
contention is that the teachings of the
Christians are in their results abso-
lutely destructive of the Chinese sys-
tenn of government.
The Boxers now are not attacking
foreign missionaries, but are killing
the Chinese who allow themselves to
be converted to Christianity. This
phase of the matter is difficult to deal
with, as it heretofore has been well
recognized right of nation to deal
with its own subjects at it's pleasure.

Washington, May 26.-Mr. Fischer,
one of the Boer ENJOYS, said it was
their purpose to visit ten or twelve
principal cities of the United States
and explain to the people whatever
they might wish to know of the Boer
cause. They were, he said, anxious to
avoid the semblance of taking any
part in American politics. They came
to plead with the whole American peo-
ole for sympathy and support.
