mLe Voyage en Suisse"

One of the features of the Hanlon's "Le Voyage en Suisse" which appears at the Jefferson Theatre next Tuesday night, Is the mechanical stage coach which appears upon the stage, driven at full speed. With
 out a word of warning crash Is heard and the animals break away and disappear across the stage. The coach then upsets,
 the wheels break off the axles, sending the load of human freight in confusion upon the stage The second scene shows the in terior of the ontinental Express on it's journey from Paris to Switzerland. During the entire progress of this act the train Is shown apparently in full motion. Suddenly d crash is heard, just as the train enters a tunnel, the lights suddenly darken, the sound of collision is heard, the train breaks in twain and is enveloped in fire and smoke. Amid the noise and rumble when the debris is cleared away, the characters are seen in comical situations-some top the en- zines smokestack, others thrown into a convenient tree, but all in the best Of hu- nor, and no one is hurt, as it is only done for fun. The last represents the dining room of the Rigi-Kulm Hotel in Switzer- land, and. specialties are introduced. The finale of this act shows the avalanche scene

The Man From Mexico.

Incidental music is often responsible for a large measure of the success attending dramatic productions but seldom does 1t play as important a part in farce as is evi- denced in "The Man from Mexico,' where sixteen bars of a march create quite as much laughter whenever heard as the lines and humorous situations furnished by the author.
 "The Man from MeXieo,' now on it's third tour, is headed this way and will be on view at the Jefferson Theatre matinee and night next Wednesday.

SANTIAGO HEROES.
President Mckinley VIII Renomin ate
 All Officers Without Change.

Washington, February 10.-It is ex- pectec that the President will tomor row nominate all the officers connected with the naval victory of Santiago July B. 1898, whose nomina- tions for advanced rank failed of action in the Senate many months ago. The new nominations will be identical in character with those formerly sent to the Senate; with this difference, that the operation of the personnel law al ready has advanced many of the of1- cers whose names were on the list, and consequently the department is obliged to make some recommendations to carry out the spirit of the boards innstruc- tiens. Rear Admiral Sampson is ad- venced to rank after Rear Admiral Howell, the senior officer in his grade, and nest below Admiral Dewey. Rear Admiral Sohley is advanced to rank bext below Rear Admiral Sampson. The order of advancement in the case of the other officers Is practically the same as in the original nomination.
