ton II the Minister had been massacred-
He was told that it came through creditabIe
sources and was considered authentic by secre-

That would seem TO settle It's authenticity
then" he said. and that makes It more probable
that the dispatch is from Minister Conger. But,
OF course there Is the possibility that the Chinese
made use of the Official code although II would be
very difficult for them TO DO so. Il is very likely
that Il the Chinese have taken and destroyed the
legation they would never have thought Of secur-
ing the code book They would be more likely 70

Sir Walter was then told that Secretary Hay had
urged the Powers TO make all haste to Pekng. In
regard TO this he said:
The difficulty Of travel in China is one Of the
greatest problems against which foreigners have to
contend The road from Tieu-Tsin to Pekng is
wellnigh inpassable, the country being fiat the

undertook to make a division OF China He re-
Piled that that was diplomatic question which he
could not answer.

stalled to accompany the physicians,
and the police will render what assist
ance they can. The Chinese will be
supplied for the work by the Six Com
panies. Until another case of plague
develops, Chinatown will remain free
from quarantine, but people are re-
quested to have as little communica-
ton as possible with the suspected
district.
When the Chinese learned of the ac-
ton of the Board of Health there was
an exodus from Chinatown of those
who are employed outside of the dis
trict.
President Williamson, of the Board
Of Health, says: Regarding the caRe
in question, there is no cause Yor
panic. 1t may be sporadic, and no
others may develop, but if subsequent
investigations show that new cases
follow the one just mentioned, / have
every reason to believe the inspection
just inaugurated by the department
will minimize the danger to such an
extent the disease will not succeed in
getting a foothold in the city,
No alarm is felt by physicians who
discuss the matter, and some doubt is
yet expressed as to the nature of the
disease from which the Chinese died.
Consul General Ho Vow said: Il be-
lieve this is nothing more nor less
than a ruse on the part Of the Board
of Health to prevent the liability of
damage suits which have frequently
been threatened on account of the out
rageous acts of last week in quaran-
timing the Chinese quarter. There
never was any bubonic plague in Chi
natown, but if there was l would be
the first person to assist in protect
ing the health of San Francisco. The
case in question was made the subject
of a thorough investigation by myself,
and I will not hesitate to say that
the public need not be alarmed. The
man was sick for some time, and died
of an ailment which is common,
though not contagious.
IF any more attempts are made to
blockade the Chinese quarters we are
prepared to procure injunctions from
the courts, and will protect the rights
of our people as far as possible"

A Black Sheep.
When Hoyt's "a Black Sheep
comes to the Opera House on Satur-
day matinee and evening, the theatre
goers will be accorded a treat in the
way of hearty, and yet wholesome en-
tertainment, such as is not too often
set before them. Charles H. Hoyt is
the caricaturist of the stage, and he
handles his crayons with the skill OF
the real artist. In "A Black Sheep"
he has drawn broad and clear, with a
method SO true to his subject, life in
frontier Arizona. His types are
quickly recognized and appreciated.
Everyone knows the editor of the
Arizona Tombstone Inscription, and is
ready to laugh at his whimsicalities,
SO funnily set forth by the playwright,
and enacted by the creator Of the

lite society as big Bill'' Devere. The

your any one who may be so rash as
to get in his way, is also a favorite

quite likely that the original come

but Mr.. Gillette has eliminated every
Objectionable feature without enfee-

At the White Horse Tavern.
cat the White Horse Tavern" made
an enormous success in Berlin for a
solid year, and it kept crowded houses
in roars of laughter. The story Is
built up of many episodes, and al
though by no means complicated. it
has several delightful love romances.
The New York critics, on its produc-
ton at Wallack's Theatre, shouted in
chorus that it was the most interest
ing comedy the Frohmans had pro-
duced in years. It Is play OF at
mosphere, of pleasing costumes and
quaint characters, and exquisite lines
are said to lead up to exceedingly
Iaughable situations. It takes very
large company for its Interpretation,
and this has been selected from the
best artists of Daniel and Charles
Frohman's companies, each part hav-
ing been exclusively given to the indi-
vidual specially adapted for its perfect
Interpretation. "At the White Horse
Tavern" will be presented at the
Opera House, Wednesday, March IA,
with those well known artists, Annie
Sutherland and Frederic Bond, and
the original cast of over thirty peo-
pie.
