"Human Hearts,"

Human Hearts, the great melO-
dramtic success that is announced at
the Opera House for next Wednesday
evening, is conceded to be one of the
best heart interest dramas ever pre-
scented. Its success was established
five years ago and each succeeding
season has demonstrated its great and
ell-deserved popularity. No play of
it's kind in recent years ever found
such universal favor with the play-gO-
ing masses. The pure home life of a
young Southerner and the Villainy of
an adventures and her male pal
are graphically portrayed in this play.
IT is as good as any sermon ever
preached. The moral lesson it teaches
is wholesome throughout. Comedy is
cleverly mingled with pathos forming
an attractive combination. The seat
sale will open next Monday at 10 A.

JAPAN is FIRM.
Will Never Consent to Russian
Rule of Manchuria.
Will Not Hesitate to Back Objections
With Armed Force.
Says She Has Support of England and
United States.

Victoria, b. c., March 1.-THE
steamer Tosa Maru, arriving from the
Orient, brought copies of an interview
with Prince Konoye, head of the Ma
tional Union League of Japan, with
reference to the Japanese attitude to-
ward Russia's Manchurian schemes.
Prince Konoye is quoted by the Japan
Advertiser of Feb. 90 as saying:
Japan will never cons ent to a Rus
sian Manchuria. On this point the gov
eminent is absolutely decided, nor
should we hesitate to take recourse to
armed remonstrance We're Russia to
continue in her recent semi defiant at
titude.
1--WE have the sympathy of both the
United States and Great Britain in this
matter and know what we are doing.
Japan has no objection to Russia leas-
ing Port Arthur. That would not men,
ace Japan's interests. We regard the
construction of the trans Siberian rail
way with lively interest, as that will
undoubtedly serve TO open new fields
for Japan's commercial undertakings.
Japan will not object to Russian
guarding the line in Manchuria, where
the presence of troops is necessary, but
Russias great territorial army on
Chinese soil must be withdrawn and
that without further loss of time.
"Manchuria must be kept under
Chinese control, not only because of its
and other wealth, but also as
being the birthplace of the present
Chinese dynasty. Continued occupa-
ton of Manchuria by any foreign pow
err would mean the downfall of the
present dynasty and subsequent revo-
luton and anarchy.
Il am convinced that the tenure of
Manchuria as Chinese state is posi-
lively necessary to the continuance and
of the present Chinese

"ToIl Gate Inn" A Revolutionary Play.

The turn of literature to the histori-
cal romance is conspicuous at the be-
ginning of the new century and the
stage has followed in their production
of historical events. In Toll Gate
Inn," which appears at the Opera
House next Monday evening, we will
have an opportunity of witnessing
what is said to be a splendid drama of
the Revolutionary days. The scenes
of the play are laid near Bennington,
VT, at the time of the battle of Ben
nington, and while the action takes
place during one of the most exciting
events in American history still the
noise of battle and the clang of mus
kerry are kept well at distance while
the charming romance of love and
duty are being quietly enacted before
he audience. The scenery and cos
tunes, are said to be absolutely in
keeping with the period and the COM
pany, which is to be headed by Will
| liam Beach, is an exceptionally strong
| one. This beautiful play has been be-
| fore the public for two seasons meet
ing with big success. 1t will open for
long run at the Fourteenth st.
theatre, New York, in April.
