ACTORS PERFORM
BEFORE ROYALTY
Entertain King Edward
and English Court at
Sandringham.

LONDON, Dec 1.-The theatrical event
OF last week was the summOning of Dan
Leno to Sandringham. where he and Ella
line Terriss and Seymour Hicks perform
ed before the court. Leno is the first mu-
sic hall artist who was ever invited and
the papers are full Of interviews with him.
His wife and family and a large crowd
of admirers met Leno on his return as if
he We're victorious general The King
gave him a diamond scarfpin. Among the
support of Miss Terriss and Hicks was
HOlbroOk Blinn. who was very proud of
being the first man actor to be summoned
by the King. Blinn says the Kings ap-
pearance is remarkable in contrast with
the current reports Of his i'll health. Re-
turning from a days shooting, his Ma
iesty in shooting costume welcomed his
guests in the heartiest manner. His cheeks
We're ruddy. The Queen appeared. for the
first time since Queen NictOria's death,
in a white evening gown. The King mani
tested special interest in Dan LenO and
said:
u suppose, out of Difference to you, we
ought to smoke during the performance.
but l trust you will amuSe US without it.
THE Belle of New York. was revived
al the Century Theater Wednesday with
every sign of success. Sullivan and Ellen
Dupont are the only members of the orig-
inal cast in the present production, Madge
Lessing taking Edna Mays old part, while
Ellie Fay makes the hit of the play as
the BoWery girl which Ella Snyder in
troduced in London.

FALL IN COPPER PRICES
NOT DUE TO THE TRUST
Amalgamated Company Endeavors to
Sell When a Corner Cannot
Be Maintained

LONDON, Dec 2.-The Times in it's
financial article, discussing the copper po-
sition, says it thinks it very improbable
that the Amalgamated people have engi-
neered the fall in copper prices in order
to force other mines to join the combna-
ton, because such a policy, even if sue
cessful, would be dangerous, inasmuch as
it would have the effect of depreciating
the prices of other commodities and Sc
curities which the Amalgamated group is
anxious TO keep up.
The Times is of the opinion that the
Amalgamated Company only endeavors
to sell copper when it's managers believe
1t is useless to try to maintain the corner
any longer, or when they believe it in
convenient TO lock up so much money in
one article. In view of the big consoli-
dation schemes in the United States and
the withdrawal of the investing public
since the New York panic May g. the
Times says it would not be surprised if
some powerful capitalists were to con-
slider it prudent to increase their cash re-
serves.

afternoon under the auspices of the local
TransvaaI League and applauded the
anti-British sentiments of Commapdanl I
Jan Krige who served under General
Botha, and ex-Congressman j. j. Lentz
of Ohio.
Resolutions denouncing the policy OF
this Government in allowing the eXpoIt "a

women and children, and extending sym

to President Roosevelt, with the request
that he offer the friendly mediation Oh
this country to the cOmbatants.
Commandant Krige said:
1.-The British must now fight to the END
for if they give in the people in Little
India will say that they are tired OF Brit
ish rule and want their independence:
Then Australia will be next to demand
her liberty. AS surely as the South Afr1-

WILSON OPPOSES PLAN
OF THE LIVESTOCK MEN
Says There Is No Need for the APP
pointment Of an Additional
Federal Commissioner.

CHICAGO, Dec. Livestock men need
expect no assistance from Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson in their plan to have
Congress create a Federal livestock COM
missioner to rank as Second Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, who
was said by some of the delegates of the
National Livestock Association to be in
favor of the proposition, arrived here to-
day and announced his opposition to the
plan.
eve have a Bureau of Animal Industry
now said the Secretary, "and it is en-
tirely competent to look after the live
stock interests of the country. There are
1000 men under the direction of the bureau,
which is headed by DR.. Salmon who is
thoroughly versed in all matters pertain
ing to the cattle raising industry. [ my
self am a livestock man and in sympathy
with the aims and objects of the livestock
association. | can see no reason for the
creation of any new office in the depart
ment and if any one has said otherwise
a mistake has been made. I do not see
that the livestock interests can complain
of the manner in which they have been
treated by the Federal Government"

MENEL|K'S AID
IS IN AMERICA
Young Mans Gorgeous
Uniform Attracts
Attention.
Special Dispatch to The. Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. IA young man of
dark brown complexion, looking not un-
like an American negro, who was a pas
senger by the French liner La GascOgne,
in to-day from Havre, enforced the no.
tice of everybody on the French pier by
his gorgeous uniform, his bearing and his
swords.
That part of the uniform distinguishable
in riffs in the golden clouds of lace was
blue. The young man announced himself
to the reporters as Lieutenant BOnito Syl-
vain, laid and naval officer to his Majesty
King Menelik of Abyssinia." He spoke
with a strong French accent and was sur
prised apparently that Meneliks aid-de-
camp was not treated more graciOusly by
the customs inspectors.
The lieutenant had two swords, one in
his hand and the other in a scabbard by
his side. He has other swords in his bag
gage. He started to leave the pier before
his trunks had been examined and o. K. d
and was turned back He protested that
he was the representative of "Ze great
Menelik, Ze King of Abyssinia.'
He was told he would have to take his
turn with the other passengers unconnect-
ed with African royalty. He said he could
not understand why anybody connected
with the court of Menelik should be treat
ed that way, but he had to submit. He
said he was on his way to Hayti, partly
on business for his King and partly on
pleasure.

BR|TONS HONOR
GENERAL BULLER
Demonstration in Lon
don in Which Trades
Unions Participate.

LONDON, Dee. 2-"Bul1er's" Sunday
passed without serious incidents. The
Government had taken every precaution
to prevent disturbances. This included
the reading, at three parades last week,
of a special order in the military regu-
lations which forbids officers or soldiers
from taking part in any meetings, dem
CnStratiOnS or professions Tor party or
political purposes"
A large body of police, many of whom
We're mounted, We're stationed along the
line of the procession and notably IN 'front.'
of the War Office.
The trades unions and WOrkingmen's So
cieties, with bands and banners, assem-
bled along the embankment this after
noon. There We're thousands of specta-
tors Owing to the difficulty of marshall
ing the large bodies of men the procession
was late in starting. 1t was headed by a
huge banner on which was portrait OF
General Butler The procession traYerSed
Northumberland avenue, Pail Mall, St.
James street and Piccadilly to Hyde Park
The windows of clubland, and especially
of the service clubs, were crowded with
Sightseers.
At Charing Cross several mounted po-
lice rode up to the head of the process
sion and attempted to seize plaster bust
of General Butler. The man carrying the
bust dashed 1t to the ground. ThlS Incl
dent caused much Indignation, but the
leaders were able to curb and restrain the
paraders, some of whom wished to attack
the policemen
Opposite the War Office there was much
groaning and cries of shame" from the
men in the procession, but otherwise the
proceedings were without incident.
When Hyde Park was reached it was
almost dark. Here speeches from several
platforms representing England, ireland,
Scotland, Wales, Devonshire and the Col
onies were made. The confusion was so
great as TO render the speakers almost
inaudible, but amid roar of cheers q
resolution of sympathy for General Bull
Ter was proposed and adopted with great
enthusiasm and q wild waving of hand
kerchiefs and hats.
