cient interest 10 give its appearance in
Washington great prominence. But this
weeks engagement is particularly note
worthy for The reason that the company
presents a notable new comedy from the
pen OF II. V. Esmond the author Of
When We Were Twenty-one.' The
great moment OF the play is at the very
end. The comedy is in three acts. and
the story concerns a young girl. Mabel

wise mother with the idea that it is
nothing less than the duty OF a young
girl 10 mate with q man Of wealth and So
cial position. She fancics herself in love

she had written her former lover of her
success with the baronet and stated that
she was only marrying hir for his
money. Her young lover returns after
she has been married several months

rcDulsed. He shows her the letter writ

band and confess everything. Before
she can do so the letter falls into her
husbands hands Under the impression
that he is making her life unhappy, he
decides to leave her, but she avowe her
love for him IN time. and the play ouis
happlly-n0t in the conventional way
but with a magnificent outburst of pas
sion and emotion that is intense strong
human. and real. In their respective
roles OF Sir Harry and Mabel Vaughan
Mr. Bichman and Miss Anglin are cred
tied with a sweeping triumph. Mr..
Richman IS manly and convincing, 5igai-
fed, yet ardent. Miss Anglin has role
OF varying moods. demanding the trans
ition from light comedy TO deepest emo

TO BUILD BIG STEEL
AND IRON PLANT
James J. Hill Credited With a New
and Important Enterprise in
Montana.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Aug. IT,
President j. J. Hill, of the Great North
ern railroad, who visited this city
last Wednesday, will erect here mon
ster steel and iron plant, for which
plans have been drawn, according to
information from those in close touch
with the railway magnates.
Wednesday night, it has developed,
Mr.. Hill purchased half interest in
the Conrad iron mines. of Choteau
county for $25,00O The mines lie in
the Sweet Grass hills and constitute
veritable mountain of the mineral
There is enough iron ore in sight to
keep an ordinary plant supplied for
100 years, according to Mr.. Hills ex-
perts, who have examined the proper
ty. w. G. Conrad, owner of the mines,
has confirmed the report Of the sale to
Hill.
One factor which has been lacking in
the reduction of the iron metal has
been manganese, which mineral is nee
essary as f1ux in the smelling of the
ore. To overcome this difficulty, Pres
ident Hill, together with United States
Senator Paris Gibson, has purchased
the recently discovered deposits of
manganese in Jefferson county on the
line of the Great Northern.
Mr.. Hill and his party inspected the
manganese deposits on Friday, and Mr..
Hill expressed himself in high terms
regarding the showing made.
Before leaving Great Falls Mr.. Hill
made the remark that he would estab-
lish an industry at Great Falls that
would employ more men than a number
of the railroads.
All along the line of the Great North
ern system Mr.. Hill has been acquiring
iron deposits, paying for one group
near the Spokane & Northern line
$4,000. This deal was made through
J. D. Farrell, president of the Pacific
company.

women of their party, started for
Cowes. They were stylishly attired in
frock coats and silk hats.
Upon arrival at Southampton, thea
Beers were welcomed on board the
commander-in-ch chiefs yacht Wildffre
by Earl Roberts and Lord Kitchener.
They Immediately visited King Edward
on board the Victoria and Albert and
were then taken for a trip around the
fleet. They returned to London to-
night, accompanied by Earl Roberts
and Lord Kitchener, who took leave
of the Beers at Waterloo station.
Connplimented by the King.
The reception by the king lasted a
quarter of an hour. The king spok e
of "the gallant and brave manner" in
which the generals had fought through
the long and arduous campaign, and
of the consideration and kindness with
which the generals had treated British
wounded. His majesty expressed his
warm wishes for their future. 1t was
at the kings suggestion that the Beers
took the trip around the fleet on board
the Wildfire.
During the voyage from South Af-
rica Gen. Dewet did not mix much
with his fellow passengers. He was
engaged most of the time in writing
his book on the South African war In
common with his colleagues, snapshot
photographs were constantly being ta-
ken of him and he was worried with
requests for his autograph until he had
to protest against the nuisance Gen.
Botha, on the contrary, was extremely
genial and INDUCED in all the sports
on shipboard. He was constantly in
the smoking room, where he played
cards. Gen. Delarey, besides playing
draughts, took keen pleasure in discus
Sions with British officers on board the
steamer.
1t is said that Gen. Botha is greatly
annoyed that his home at Vryheid has
been annexed to Natal The premier
Of Natal is reported to have offered
Gen. Botha place in the Natal minis
try, which the general has declined.
Chamberlains Plans Upset.
The refusal of the Boer generals to
witness the review of the fleet at Spit
head or to see King Edward yester-
day caused great exultation in the con-
tlnental press and undoubtedly upset
the plans of Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain. Mr.. Chamberlain had ap-
peared extremely anxious that the gem
erals should see no newspaper repre-
sentatives before their visit to King
Edward, and he accordingly caused
instructions to be issued that no re-
porters be allowed on board the Wild
fire or Nigeria, while very unusual re-
strictions were placed on all reporters.
The general impression is that Cen
Botha and his companions declined the
invitation to witness the review and
see King Edward because it came di-
rect from Mr.. Chamberlain, but on re-
ceiying the kings personal invitation
for Sunday, they readily accepted.
