VAUDEVILLE AT AUDITORIUM. New Bill Was Greatly Enjoyed Last
 Night.

The indictment weather, no doubt, kept a great many persons away from the Auditorium last night, but the new vaudeville bill was greatly enjoyed by thoroughly appreciative audience.
 The performance was perhaps better than Monday evening. The vaudevil- Hans were rested from their fatiguing journey from New York. The acts went with more snap and ginger and the. players were repeatedly applauded.
 The Irish comedy sketch of Casey and. Le Clair was made the first num- Der on the program last night. Instesd of the sketch of Irish tenement life, which they presented Monday evening, they put on a nonsensical sk!t which took better with the audience.
 Attic Spenser, the handsome woman singer. made another great hit. She sang a new song. lido from Idaho.' which pleased, and she was repeatedly encored. Miss Spenser Is said to be a great favorite at New York roof gar dens She has a fine stage presence and has caught on in Montgomery.
 The dainty dancing and quick cos tune changes of Misses Craske and Stevens was not the least part of the bill, and Mitchell and Cain, character comedians, closed the entertainment. They are funny men and great enter tainers.
 The Auditorium is cool and comfort able. The bill this week is well wor- thy of patronage. Matinee every day.

His Stop Has Caused Much Comment
 in Germany.

Basel, switxerIand. Aug. 27.-The Chinese Minister to Germany, Lu Hai Houan. has arrived here from Berlin to consult with Prince Chun.
 Berlin, Aug. 27-In view of the fact that the expiatory mission of Prince Gun, brother of the Emperor of China was one of the conditions of peace em- bodied in the demands of the powers. the interruption of the journey of Prince Chun who is now in Basel, Switzerland, has created considerable comment. The excuse of sickness Is nowhere entertained seriously, Taken in conjunction with the sudden deten- tio in Shaghai of the expiatory mission to Japan, 1t is believed to indicate fresh complications with reference to the signing of the protocol in Pekin.
 The German papers. which comment in guarded way. suggest that the de- lay of Prince Chun Is due to an inti- nation from Emperor William as to certain matters of ceremony and etiquette with which Prince Chun is unable or unwilling to comply with out permission from the Chinese court

 The start will be made from The Ad- vertiser office, where the handsome six horse tally-ho of Jim Haygood will be ready to escort the party to the Union Railway Station, accompanied by enough members of The Advertiser stan to afford protection and an escort on board the train.

 "It Is quite clear that if we want an end of the war we must strike hard. Proclamations and block houses are very well and may be useful, 5u. the experience of the Spaniards has shown that the most sonorous proclamation is of little good without plenty of men and horses.
 Everything depends upon vigor and persistence in pushing the Boers in the field. Are we providing those means for the warm season which soon be- gins? ?"
