This mentioned Chinese Fund was
the percentage paid by heather labor
ers to secure their passage to their
native land on the end of their Labor
terms here. The money was paid to
Government officials by the Postal Saw
ings Bank on the closing up of that
Bureau by the Organic Act, The
amount was deposited in the First
National Bank, and here comes the
first wrong step; why not deposit the
fund then and there In the Government
Treasury vault where it belonged? But,
that was then an oversight only for the
amount was soon drawn out Of the
First National Bank and, instead of
being divided pro rata amongst the
individual depositors of the fund,
whose names were all registered, the
sum was diverted from its lawful pur-
pose, of nroviding passages to their
homes for the poor and ignorant labor
ers, and instead was utilized In the
payments of the warrants of a, then,
practically "busted's Treasury. This is

notice of the Governor and his alter

Ninety and Nine" at the Academy of
Music, is a semi i-religious drama ending
| with the Doxology. 1t tells not of lost
woman, but of a lost man, who is re-
deemed from drink and a strenuous life
by his sweetheart. Edwin Arden Is the
man and Katherine Grey is the goody-
goody woman. Although the play is bad
ly constructed 1t contains the elements
of popularity, and will surely make
money for all concerned. In the third
act forest fire famed by the wind
overtakes "a town in Indiana. Hundreds
Of people are imperiled. and relief
seems impossible, when q mob of ex-
cited citizens gets up steam on locom-
otive, which later dashes through rhe

safety. The locomotive Is the real hero,
and acts his part SO we'll that the aud
ience becomes almost hysterical with
excitement. He certainly saves. the
piece, as we'll as the lives OF the citizens
of NARROW, Ind. Another feature of the
performance is furnished by diminu-
tive boy actor named Harry LIE Van. He
is about three feet high and possesses
lots Of snap. In the character of a
street Arab he is funny all the time. and
whi,e on the stage is followed by shouts
of laughter. In the part of the lost
young man" Edwin Arden carries a con-
tinuous jag for three acts. He has it
always with him, and scorns the real
water which Katherine Grey offers him.
Moreover, he cracks jokes about the
water being only good to wash in

Biggest of English Melodramas.

1t has been a long stride in the up
building Of melodramas from "Romany

English masters have excelled them
selves repeatedly in their endeavors

the many great English melodramatie
productions. and by many masters OF

the best. Cecil Raleigh and Henry Ham

knew when they constructed 1t, for the
piece has stood we'll the wear Of several
gears.
N London. where by far the greater
portion Of these melodramas are first
produced, they have a theater which is
ideal for the purpose. There is an i'm
mensity to the stage Of the Drury Lane
Theater such as no theater in this coun-
try possesses. and it permits Of the full

playwright and stage manager.
Melodramas became popular in this
country after their great drawing pow
ers had been demonstrated abroad. The
late Augustin DAILY was among the earli-
est sponsors OF English melodrama IN
America. He brought several Of them
here and produced them with an elabor-
ateness that rivaled the English per-
formances.

the consensus of opinion is that it will
have to be considerably cut down. the
impression has gone forth that 1t is
play of absorbing interest, and that
after several radical changes have been
made it will be all right. Viola Allen
and Edward j. Morgan are reported to
have made hits in the two most impor-
tant roles.

Ntive Blacks Attack Boers and
 White Women.

London, Aug. 20.-Mail advices received here from Johannesburg indicate that the negro problem is growing more finite worry. To quote the words of one of the foremost South African authori- ties:
 "On the question of the natives de- p ,nds the whole future of the colonies whether the Boers will Loyalty accept British rule or continue in a state of sullen resentment. Among the immediate dangers are the natives attacks on Boers returning to their farms and attempts of natiI es to assault white women. These are threatening to lead 10 serious con- f1icts between Boers and blacks. Under the old regime the crude but simple ret ribution for assaults on women was shoot ing on sight.
 Now. however. there is no legislation on the subject. and theEnglish authorities are hesitating to enact laws until all the parties concerned can voice their opinions" The hesitancy to, deal severely with the natives is causing both Boers and Africanders intense irritation and ercc urages the blacks to trucrnt effron- tery.
 Another phase of the problem is the unwilIinsness of the blacks to forego their lazy existence in the concentration camps where thousands were gathered during the war and far more serious is the fact that a great number of blacks in the country have managed to secure arms

 We sincerely trust you may see youI way clear to comply with this request which will be in the line of encouraging patriotism and devotion to the flag oi our country.

TAKEN BY THE REBELS
THE BAYocA CAPTURED AFTER
 A BATTLE.
Hopes of Conservatives of Panama Now Centered in Ship Supposed to Have Been Bought by
 Minister Concha.

Panama. Aug. 20.-The former govern ment gunboat Boyaca, which left here July 29 to carry three hundred soldiers to Agua Dulce and which was captured by the Colombian revoiutionists. is now at sea flying the rebel flag.
 The rumors that the Boyaca had been sunk are therefore refuted.
 Before she left here General Salazar, Governor of Panama. ordered the com mander of the Boyaca not to fire the guns on that vessel, because he feared the bad condition of the Boyaca would endanger those on board if her guns were discharged. Revolutionary reports Of the capture of the gunboat are that she fought two hours before being captured and it is believed in government circles that some accident to her machinery or rudder forced the commander of the Boy aca to accept unequal battle.
 The Boyaca was very old ship ana her machinery and keel were in very bad condition. She was built in 1883 at Will mington, Del, for the Colombian govern ment.
 The hopes of the conservatives of Pa- mama are NOW centered in the steamer which Senor Concho. Colombian Minister at Washington, is supposed to have bought recently at San Fraicisco. Should this vessel promptly sail for the isthmus with guns and gunners on board it is believed by the officials that with the endorsements expected, General Sala- gar need have no fear of an attack from the revolutionary forces under General Herrera.
