HE IS TO APPEAR AT MAGUIRE's
GRAND FOR THE LAST TIME
MONDAY.
BENEFIT OF BUTTE SOCIETY
Explains the Unfortunate Occurrence
Which Prevented the Presentation
of the Corsican Brothers-Says That
His Support Were a Lot of Green
Ones Scraped UP Around Chicago
on Short Notice.

Daniel Bandmann, the famous actor
Will appear In public performance
next Monday for the last time.
On that occasion he will take the lead
lrg role In program at Mcguire s
Grand for the benefit of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Mr.. Bandmann declares he will then
retire to the Bitter Root ranch and
plant potatoes.
The great actor has been seriously
considering retirement from the stage
for some time and the unpleasant turn
OF affairs that took place last evening.
when a portion OF his company refused
to take part in the performances. so
chagrined him that he has determined
never again to follow the life of a popu-
lar actor.
How It All Happened.
In speaking of the strike of his COM
pany, Mr.. Bandmann said this afternoon:
Those who refused to appear last night
were green lot of amateurs. They
wanted to propose conditions to Mcguire
and because he would not allow them
to impose upon him they left us In the
lurch at the 18th hour.
THE three ringleaders in the move
ment were Martin and Lee, actors, and
Herman, the stage carpenter.
Il saw the shape affairs had assumed
and rather than disappoint the house,
l went on with my wife in several
Shakespearean scenes.
1T was the hardest labor OF my life
to break my promise to the Butte pub
lie and l owe an explanation as to how
/ got hold of such company.
Tickets Were Late.
"lhe truth is that the promised trans
portation from Chicago did not arrive
in time, and the excellent company Mr.
Maguire>had engaged dropped out.
THE transportation arrived only "a
hours before time to leave Chicago and
| was obliged to scrape around and get
the best players l could on such short
notice.
Monday night I will appear before
an audience for the last time at the
Grand. The program in which will ap-
pear will be in three parts:
!. Fourth act of the Merchant of
Venice.
2. The Balcony scene of Romeo and
Juliet.
3. The comedy of David Garrick.
II shall then go to my ranch and dig
potatoes"

ONE OF THE ACTIVE FRIENDS OF
THE BoERs IN CHICAGO MAKES
DIRECT PROTEST..
STOP BRITISH MULE TRAFFIC
He Quotes the Treaty of Washington
Relative to the Rights of Belliger-

in Neutral Waters.
(By Associated Press.l

NY AhSoclhled ffebS,)
Chicago. April 18.--Peter Van Vlissin-
gen, who has been one of the most active
friends of the Beers In Chicago, today
sent to President Roosevelt an open let
ter advancing an argument against the
British mule traffic in the United States.
lie declares the traffic is In violation of
the treaty OF Washington.
Article six of the treaty" the letter
reads, lays down three rules by which
arbitrators are to be governed The Sec
ond rule declares: a neutral govern
ment IL ought not , permit or suffer
either belligerent to make use of It's ports
or waters az the basis OF naval opera
tions against the other. or for the pur-
pose of renewal or augmentation of mill
tary supplies or arms, or the recruitment
OF men,"
Further along the letter says:
Great Britain made no scruple Of
asserting tn, terms of the treaty of
Washington against this country upon
the first and only occasion when our gov
ernment was at war with a foreign state.
April 20, 1893, the day after war was
declared between the United States and
Spain. Queen Victoria issued proclama-
ton OF neutrality, inslstlng upon the OBJ
seryance of the treaty.
I'm ,his proclamation Great Britain in
sists that her ports and waters shall not
be used to abet the military activity OF
belligerent powers and we now request
the enforcement of this rule"
Mr.. Van Vlissingcn has been at work
for months preparing material for this
letter.
He concludes witn a request that the
president give the matter earnest con-
sideration and early attention"

Basin April 1S.-There seems to be any
amount of fires in this vicinity in the
last day or two, and the trouble all be-
gan yesterday when a long wooden
bridge on the Montana Central, mile
or so above Basin, caught fire.
Train service was laid out for several
hours and the damage done was con-
siderable.
Last night, q teamster at Bernice,
while In an intoxicated condition, set fire
to his cabin while cooking supper and
his charred remains were found in the
ruins this morning.
His name was Charles Smith, Swede,
about 40 years of age.
He had been in this vicinity for several
years and was well known.
Residence Burned.
The residence OF Albert Baraby in Ba-
sin was consumed by fire this morning
caused by an overheated stovepipe. Most
of the household goods were saved, but
the loss will amount to about $500.
He had considerable dynamite stored
in the house and the firemen were afraid
to go too near the flames on account of
the powder.
Mrs. Baraby had just got out of
sick bed yesterday and the shock to her
nerves Is liable to be serious.
A large amount of rifle shells were
also in the house, and the danger from
these was frightful. The fire protection
IN the town of Basin Is not of the best,
as the apparatus for fighting fire is
somewhat out of date, but the citizens
do the best they can.

ciprocity bin was to close at o'clock

If possible to hold the house In session
until the final vote was taken.
The whole atmosphere of the house
was In fact charged with electricity and
presaged the coming storm. Mr.. Rich
ardson of Tennessee, the democratic
leader, was the first speaker today.
He made a careful and dspassonate
speech. explaining why he had voted In
favor of reporting the bill.
He stated frankly that he doubted
/ whether the enactment of the bin would
do much TO bring about the reciprocal
trade relations between Cuba and th0
United States which was earnestly ID

the hope that II might accomplish soma-
thing.
Warning OF Coming Storm.

the outrageously high rates of the Ding

These high rates could not stand. and,
he said. Mr.. Grosvenors speech n few

Mr. Fordney Of Michigan opposed The
bill. He declared that not n single
Cuban appeared before the ways and

Every one OF the witnesses for IT. he
SAID, was either an American citizen
owning sugar land In Cuba or directly
or indirectly representing the influence
