ADJUSTMENTS.
"The Telephone Girl"

The Telephone Girl, musical comedy jingle, attracted a large audience at the Jefferson yesterday afternoon and a larger audience last night. At the night performance every seat down stairs and up stairs was taken and standing room was In demand
 The cast contained only two or three of last seasons favorites. Pearle Beware as Toots, being one of them. The chorus was smaller but better costumed and better looking.
 Edith Valmaseda as the Telephone Girl, fitted her part acceptably. Grace Hunt. as Rosy. a lady's maid. won much ap- plause and Joe Kaine as Hans Nix and Authur Conrad as errand boy each made a hit.
 The music of the piece Is bright and catchy and the local orchestra supported the company without hitch.

 The Schulers control the rod and wire mill at Ensley. This mill has been draw ing its steel supply from the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company's steel works at Ensey. but It's contract with that company expires on January and this being the case 1t is believed they will push the construction of their own steel mill with as little delay as possi- ble
 At one time 1t was said that the Schulers would build two iron furnaces. but 1t Is believed to be their intention now to build only one. They own valua- ble coal lands In Jefferson county and valuable ore lands in Cherokee.

SOLDIERS STOP
 TRAIN IN PANAMA
American Officers Aboard Order
 Obstruction Removed
REPORTED TO DEPARTMENT
U. S. Authorities Not Inclined to Jump at Conclusions Hastily and Do Not Believe Colombia Dl-
 rected Such Actions.

Washington. September 16-secretary of the Navy Moody today received the fol- lowing cablegram from Commander Me- Lean of the Cincinnati. who arrived at Colon yesterday:
 Yesterday I went to Panama. Train stopped twice by Instructions plate iron, etc.-placed on track After train rassed saw government soldiers replace Instructions. Accompanied by consul and Commander Potter (of Ranger) called on governor Friendly conversation. Return ing to Colon train stopped by obstruc- tions. Soldiers were compelled to remove them. Soldiers then stood on track. By my directions train moved on and sol- diers Jumped away. Win guard trains. No revolutionists in sight, but rumored coming toward railroad"
 he above dispatch Is accepted as re- ferring to events of Monday. The offi- cisls lt Washington are not inclined to jump hastily at the conclusion that the obstruction of traffic by government sol-
 dieds was inspired by the Colombian
 government itself, but are more ready to
 believe that the act was for the purpose of ascertaining if any revoiutionists oc- cupied the train.
 It is understood that at the meeting of Commanders Mclean and Potter and the United States consul with Governor Sal agar at Panama, the latter disavowed responsibility for the act of the gov ernment troops Acting Secretary of State Adee and Secretary Moody were in consultation for some time today in re- gard to the isthmian situation, though the conference took place before the re- ceipt of Commander McLean's dispatch. However, the dispatch was referred to the state department immediately upon it's receipt and 1t is understood that some representations will be made to the government at Bogato with view to preventing a repetition of the incident and obtaining some expression from Co., lorrbia which may simplify the rather complex situation which comes of tho conjunction of the government, liberal and United States forces.
 Commander McLean's action In placing guards or the trains creates situation similar to that which existed some months ago, when Captain Perry with the Iowa and Commander McCrea were at Panama and Colon respectively, and each train was occupied by force of American blue jackets or marines. Cap tain Perry at that time was forced to
 take possession of the Panama railroad
 and it Is probable that further interfer- ence will result in similar action on the | patt of Commander Mclean. Six trains | are run across the isthmus each day, l two passenger and four freight trains, | and each one may have to be provided with a guard Orders were issued to- | day detachlng Commander Mclean rom | command of the Cincinnati on the ar rival of his successor, Commander Ma | son, who sailed from New York today for | Colon, but it YVES stated at the navy de- partment that if the situation requires. l Commander Mclean will be kept in com msnd beyond the appointed time for his detachment.

Fields MinstreIs.

Tomorrow matinee and night the AL G. Fields minstrels will play their usual annual engagement at the Jefferson the Dispatch in commenting on the perform ance, said:
 Ten human stairsteps, known as the Faust Family. ranging in age from to 35 years. formed the piece de resistance as it were, of the bill at the Academy of Music lest night.
 These clever people did all sorts of aero batic tsunts, executed pinwheels. whlrli- gigs and other contortions too numerous to mention. Indeed, their feats in tum- bling, balancing and other remarkable gy- rations seemed almost to defy the laws of gravitation.
 This family of wonderful gymnasts was seen in conjur ction with the Al G. Field 8 Greater Minstrels, who opened the local theatrical season. The word greater when applied to Fields means something. as the aggregation he has surrounded himself with in past seasons has been par excellence in the minstrel world. Last night, however he went step far ther, and even surprised his fast admir- CTS by giving a performance that, so far as black cork work is concerned. stands irreproachable on the stage today.
 Fields has many friends and admirers in this city, and it looked as if all of them tried to crowd into the Academy lest night to welcome him.

FRANCE MUST BE
 READY ID FIGHT
Marine Minister Makes Re- markabIe Speech at Bizerta
TALK OF MEDITERRANEAN
Says Ills Country Does Not Desire to Make It a Great French Lake, But Wants to Hold Her
 Share of It.

Bizerta, Tunis, September 16.-M. Pelle- remarkable speech at an entertainment of the municipality yesterday evening" which it is expected will cause the French foreign minister, M. Deicasse. some trouble to explain. After pointing out the importance of Blzerta as a bull wark of France. M. Pelletan proceeded:
 We do not say we want to make the Mediterranean a French lake. We have been cured of the dreams of the great world. But part of the Mediterranean is French and will remain French. This powerful rampant. so well situated for defense, and also for attack. and with Corsica and Tulon. we want the open door between the two halves of the Med iterranean in spite of Malta and Gibral- tar.
 Certainly I do not desire a conflict of peoples against England any more than Italy, but as we do not know what others are doing, 1t is part Of our duty to pre- pare for the holy war, for the French fatherland against its enemies, whoever they may be. I am convinced, thanks to the fellow-workers with whom I am sur- rounded, that we can face every eventu- ality. Security hardly exists any moro for the civilized world. At the end of the nineteenth century, after the defeat Of France by the barbarism of old Ger m5ny, we saw an offensive return of the law of brute force. The whole world seemed to be dominated by the maxim might before right We must, then, de- vote all our efforts to keeping intact that focus of justice and light French genius
 M. Pelletan concluded with remarldng that he would not say more at present. He had not yet become accustomed to being a minister and feared he might be carried away Into expressing his opin- ion of matters which exclusively con- cerned the foreign minister.
 France has at Bizerta a powerful mili- tary and naval stronghold which with Tulon on the north of the Mediterranean French military and naval men assert that Frances naval power in the west of the Mediterranean is unassailable, and all that is required to consolidate the position of France is the construction of the so-called canal of two seas, which is to unite the Mediterranean with the | Boy of Biscay, and thus render her in- 1 dependent of the straits of Gibraltar.
