AT THE THEATER.
Baldwin-MeIvilIe Company in "a
Celebrated Case"

The Baldwin Melville Company gave one
of the best performances of its present
engagement last night "A Celebra ted
Case" was the bin, and it was put on in
very creditable manner. Mr.. Jossey.
Mr.. Cumpson, Mr.. Hart. Miss Linden and
Miss Waters were all good, and the play
was prettily costumed.
With two performances to-day and two
more tomorrow the company will close
its engagement. There will be a change
of bill this afternoon and tonight. The
specialties introduced between the acts,
making the performance continuous. are
pleasing feature.
Purchasers of tickets for Ward & Vokes'
entertainment, which will be Manager
Wes' benefit, next Monday afternoon and
night, can have seats reserved by calling
at the box office.
The following notice is taken from the
Richmond Times: =" The Floor Walkers
with Ward and Volkes, Lucy and Margaret
Daily and a big farce comedy company,
including number of dainty girls, was
a complete success in every way al the
Academy last night. There is no per-
ceptible clue to plot in the piece, but

enjoyment of the mirth, music and dane
ing that begins as the curtain ascends
and continues until it goes down. The
farce comedy Is the best that has been
to the Academy this season, and it is in
terpreted by the largest company on the
road In fact, it resembles a big Metro
politan production more than farce COM
edy, and is staged and costumed in
manner becoming the size of the spec
tacle. Ward and Volkes are whole show
in themselves in their unique Percy ana
Harold act, and the DAILY girls are
dainty and clever as ever, while Will
West, close second, or chird, to Ward
and Vokes. is full of funny dolngs and
sayings The female contingent is num-
erous and as handsome as nature, paint
and powder can make them. There is
not disappointme in the show"
Few men ever live after such experiences
as George KEENAN,, the famed Siberian
traveller, who made thorough investiga-
ton of the exile system of Russia, and
who, by his writings and lectures has in
formed the world of his discoveries. The
Lecture and Entertainment Committee
of the Young Mems Christian Association
has acted wisely III securing Mr.. KEENAN,
to deliver his lecture, Russian Political
Exiles," illustrated with lantern slides, at
the Guards Hail next Tuesday night.
Tickets can be procured and seats reserved
at the Young Mems Christian Association
building Monday morning at $50 o'clock.
The prices of tickets are IS cents and 50
cents.

YANKEE "CHEEK.

(Letter to LONDON L ally Telegraph
There was sudden CoEmotion at the
gate. A section OF the American bstt ry
made its appearance. At its head We're
riding General Chaffee and his staff.
They halted for a moment under the
arch, then dismounted, and the general
ana one officer walked coolIy into the
middle of the exposed space and stood
gazing up at the tower. The fire in
creased in vehemence. We could see the
bullets striking all round the two brave
men. The general held little Chinese
fan. with which he famed himself
gently.
'Gad," said one of my companions,
'that's what l call cheek"
1 should think 1t was, and 1t was
meant, l imagine, as much for tn benefit
of the Russians as for the Chinese. In
the next few minutes we were TO see
something more of American courage.
The of1ioer with the general sang out:
bring that gun right along here, boys
Run her out by hand.'
With rush and a hustle the American
artillerymen ran out q twelve FOUNDER,
and planted 1t bare In the open next TO
the general, not man fiinohing. The
tower, as have said, was only four or
five hundred yards away, and the Chi.
ness were firing furiously. Few field
gunners would care to risk their men in
the way the Americans did. l thought
all would be shot down before the gun
could be fired, but only one man was hit.
He got bullet through his hand. The
gun spoke once, twice. Then there was
silence from the tower. We rushed out
from the shelter OF the wall, pulling our
horses behind us. One turret OF the tower
had fallen in, and below 1t there was
gaping hole A single figure stood at one
of the windows Inc brave had bow in
hts hand. lie discharged an arrow,
which fell haImlessly short, and then
Ciisa ppeared
The Americans brought up the other
guns of the battery and proceeded to
bonn bard all the towers they could see
along the inner face of the wall After
about hundred shells or so had been ex-
pended the battery moved TO the left,
followed by the American infantry which
had just come up The Russian infantry
was also gathered together and marched
OH TO the right. We decided to stick to

BLANEY UNIDENTIFIED.
Those Who See Him Are Not Sure He
A. Hall.

Boston, November Late In the af-
ternoon two men visited the Charles
street Jail and looked at Blaney. They
came away without positively identity
ing the prisoner as Hall.
After these men had seem the prisoner,
an Official attac he'd to headquarters said:
= Identification has not yet been posi-
lively established 1t is now dozen
years since the crime was committed.
Hall was then comparatively young
man. Twelve years makes change in
men. Those who saw the prisoner at the
jail to1ay realize this If they never did
before. While they feel quite certain in
their own minds that Hall and Blaney
are one, they do not want to say so until
they are positive. They would much
rather have positive Identification
made by some one who is absolutely sure
OF Identification marks. Bianey was put
to many tests, some of which 1t was
thought would certainly establish a con-
nection between him and Hall and they
all proved unsatisfactory.

BRITISH CABINET.
Salisbury is Premier and Landsdowne
Foreign Secretary.

London, November 1.-Queen Victoria
has approved the appointment of Lord
Salisbury as premier and Lord Privy
Seal; the Marquis of Lansdowne as secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs; Mr..
William st. John Brodrick, as secretary
Of state for war; the Earl OF Selborne,
as first lord of the admiralty, and MIR.
q. L. RItohie, as secretary OF state for
home affairs. According to this list of
appointments Mr.. George j. Gosh en- the
first lord of the admiralty in Lord Sails
bury's last cabinet; Sir Matthew White
Ridley, who has been secretary OF state
for home affairs and Yiscount Gross who
was lord privy seal, have besn dropped In
the formation OF the new cabinet.
The appointments do not exotic enthu-
siasm but with the exception OF that of
Lord Lansdowne they are generally ap-
proved. MIR. Ritohie Is regarded as an
excellent choice. Several other ch anges
are mooted in minor offices but, on the
whole it looks as though Lord Salisbury
did not intend any radical innovations.
The appointment of Lord Selborne, his
son-in-law, to the admiralty, challenges
the most criticism. The Earl had a good
reputation but 1t is felt that more dis
tinguished man should have tesn APP
pointed to such an important post
!. Among the most probable new appoint
ments, Is that of MIR. George Wyndham,
who was parliamentary under secretary
OF state for war, to. succeed Mr.. Gerald
Balfour as chief secretary for LELAND. Sir
Matthew White Ridley is likely to be
raised to the peerage.
The Daily Telegraph and the Daily
Mail express themselves as quite satisfied.
The other papers are dissatisfied. The
Standard declares that the cabinet Is not
strengthened by the changes, especially
in view of the loss of Lord Salisbury's
services TO the foreign office
