Lots of Fun.

"The Other Fellow" at the Monumen-
tai Theatre last night started the Metro
politan Hall under its new name in good
shape.
The performance was medley of jol-
ity and fun and the applause was al
most continuous. THE Other Fellow
was meant to be funny, and is funny and
worth seeing. The lightning crayon work
of Harry Vale was excellent and when
he put the S as the top curl of Mark
Hanna's caricature it caught the house.
Harry West as Karl Krauss was mirth
provoker.
There was large audience present and
Messrs. F. F. Brown, Manager, and G..
T. Hinnant, Secretary and Treasurer of
the theatre, are much gratified. The
music of Wright's Orchestra, with Prof.
Levin as director was most excellent.

Additional Guards to be Placed.
(By the Associated Press.)

Panama, Colombia, Sept. 17-Com-
mander Potter of the United States
cruiser Ranger will, tomorrow morning,
place guards or the trains running across
the Isthmus This step will be taken in
addition to the marines landed this morn
ing at Colon from the cruiser Cincinnati.
1t is not thought probable that the. revo-
lutionists will attempt to interrupt
transit on the railroad.
General Salazar, commander of the
Government forces on the Isthmus, and
acting United States Consul Ehrmann,
were in conference this morning. The
General was informed that the measure
of placing guards on the trains could not
be considered as an act of hostility to
Colombia, but that 1t was only taken
under the necessity of securing uninter-
rupted traffic over the railroad.
Governor Salazar has just received a
telegram from Colon saying that the
first 1000 men from Perdomos' army had
arrived there.

Cheng Tu Flu, capital of the Province OF

take the city have so far failed Without
immediate help, however, Cheng Tu Flu
must fall.
"A prominent Chinese merchant tells
me-" continues the Daily Nails corre-

a rising in the province Is inevitable.
To further complicate matters, the feuds
between Protestant and Catholic converts
are now worse than at any previous

MURDER OF MISSIONARIES.
Troubles Due to Collection OF Excessive
Indemnities and Arrogance of chri,tians.
Gy the Associated Press)


Pckin. Sept 17.-United States Min
lister Conger has presented to the Chinese
Foreign Office a letter from DIR. Can
right, the American missionary to Cheng
tn Fu regarding the massacres of native
Christians there in July. DIR. Canright
says that eleven converts were killed by
Boxers and that the local officials re-
fused to take measures against the Box
res. The letter was written August "a.
The missionaries were then guarded by
troops and were unable to leave the mis-
sion building except when escorted by
soldiers.
DR.. Canright's recent kilograms say
the situation is worse. The native papers
declare the trouble is due to the coilec-
ton of excessive indemnities for Chris
tians on account of the troubles OF l9oo,
and owing to the Christians arrogant at
titude under foreign protection.
