Grand Opera House.

The Great Lafayette show will be at | the Grand Opera House tonight and | tomorrow and Saturday nights, with matinee Saturday. The Bridgeport
 Farmer says of this company: "The
 performance is refined vaudeville of a | high character of excellence, not an act appearing in any portion which would | in the slightest offend good taste, while the acts themselves are among the best l upon the stage.
 Barry and Halvers opened in an ec- | centric comedy duett, in which there l was considerable dancing and knocka- bout work, and were followed by the musical comedy team, Sharp and Flatt, who demonstrated that they not only could make fun but could play upon various instruments, thing which many of the so-called musical teams
 cannot do A new feature was the col
 ored electric light effect produced while
 playing the bells Howard and Bland,
 in the sketch "A Strange Boy" kept
 the audience in roars, and at the con-
 cusion Bert Howard gave limitations of
 Paderewski upon the piano, perform
 ing a number of very clever tricks in
 piano playing. Herbert's trained dogs
 gave an entertainment which in itself
 was worth far more than the admis-
 sion. It Is probably the best trained group of dogs which has ever perfornt- ed in the city. Dink's leap for life from
 the top of the proscenium arch, after climbing ladder, pleased the audience immensely, but was by no means the only clever feature in this part of the entertainment.
 Ed F. Reynard proved very clever ventriloquist. and Miss Keene's sing ing was much enjoyed She uses three voices, soprano, contralto and basso, and rendered her selection well. Miss Rita Winfield gave several selections upon the violin showing exceptional talent, and was called back three times. Of course the large part of the enter tainment was taken by the Great La fayette, who gave impersonations of l Sousa and of Ching Ling Foo, the great Chinese magician, in which he did not | fall far short of the Chinaman's ability. | A number of very clever tricks and il lusions, in which a whole menagerie was brought upon the stage, were per- formed The performance concluded | NIlH 1iP llbll Dl III Nihtlf jeste a magnificent lion, is introduced It is very clever illusion, in which part tohe time impersonates the lion and enacts a very exciting scene. The performance as whole is excellent and deserves crowded houses during the remainder of the engage ment."
 In consequence of the great success of Lafayette In Bridgeport and else where, and a response to numerous re- quests, Mir. Bunnell has arranged to nave an extra matinee Friday in addi- ion to the Saturday matinee.

"Now, if you will let me take these
plates away with me to destroy them

Palgraye, in his interesting book de-

Of his conversation with a mollah.

"But smoking?"

DANES WANT QUEENS
TO INTERVENE IN TH

Copenhagen, March 26.-Opponents
of the sale of the Danish West Indies
intend to make desperate effort to
induce Queen Alexandria and the dow
ager empress of Russia, daughters Of
the king of Denmark, to intervene and
prevent the ratification of the treaty
by the landsthing.
The dowager empress and queen
both of whom are reported as opposed
to the sale of the islands, are expect
ed here in a day or two. The opinion
in we'll informed circles is that any
such intervention, even could it be
set in motion, would prove ineffective.
Confidence is felt that the landsthing
will ultimately ratify the treaty,
though it may possibly insert pleb-
iscite clause The landsthing at q Sc
cret meeting yesterday arrived at no
conclusion and postponed the discus
sion of the treaty until April 3.

MORGAN ON THE STAND

The idea of forming the Northern
Securities company was never thought
of previous to May 8, Morgan said
He explained that after the experience
of May he became more strongly
imbued with the idea of forming a
holding company for the Northern Pa
cific stock.
This was what occurred to me,
Morgan continued, 81 might die or the
firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. be dis
solved and in such an event [ wanted
the Northern Pacific stock to be in
safe hands, SO that the stockholders
might not suffer. I did not care who
went into the company, as long as the
Northern Pacific interests were safe,
as they would be if l held the major
ity of the stock"
When pressed for details of the sale
of $10,N00,000 stock of the Northern
Pacific to Hill, the witness said ten
million dollar purchase of stock did
not seem large to him, and that he
had forgotten the details.

Washington, March 27.-As a result
of numerous conferences yesterday
among republican leaders of the
house, the advocates of the Cuban rec
iprocity bill became confident late in
the day that the measure could be re-
ported from the ways and means com
mittee by republican votes, without
reliance on the democratic votes and
without amendment. This was a re
versal of the conditions supposed to
exist earlier in the day when friends
of Cuban reciprocity were said to be
one vote short of the necessary num-
Der to resist amendments and report
the bill. In view of the changed con-
ditions Chairman Payne has under
consideration the advisability of call
ing a special meeting of the ways and
means committee the latter part OF
this week, instead of waiting until
Wednesday to pass on the Cuban bill.
No final determination has been
reached, however, although the return
of Representative Grosvenor today
probably will bring about an early ar
rangement.
The house committee on elections
has decided the contested election
case of John J. Lentz VS.. Emmett
Tompkins of the Columbus, Ohio, dis
trict, in favor of Tompkins. The con
test was made on the ground of al,
legged irregularity at the polls.
The conferees on the war revenue
bill were unable to reach an agree
ment yesterday, the main division con
curing on the tax on bucketshops
which was taken off by the house and
restored by the senate.
The house committee on public
lands yesterday ordered reports on
bills repaying to settlers in excess OF
double the minimum price paid fol
lands within forfeited land grants, and
extending the homestead laws to the
Ute Indian reservation of Colorado
Col John P. Irish in behalf of western
cattle interests was heard in favor OF
leasing public lands for grazing pur
poses. but no action was taken.
Hearings on the bill creating the de
partment of commerce and labor were
continued yesterday before the house
committee on commerce, w. L. Bass OF
New York, an exporter and importer
speaking in support of the measure
and Thomas L. Tracy for the Fereda,
ton of Labor, and H. r. Fuller for the
against inclusion in the labor bureau
in the new department. In the view
of Messrs. Tracy and Fuller the labor
branch should be left distinct, with
the expectation of becoming a de-
partment by itself at later day.
