At the OPpheum.

The entertainment offered at the orpheum
for the present week has no expensive
feature acts, but is purely a variety
bill, thoroughly clean In every respect and
every act worthy of commendation for some
one thing CT another. II would be un-
just to the others to say that any one OF
the seven on the program made a greater
hit with either the matinee or evening
audience than smother. Considered purely
from an artistic standpoint the musical act
OF the FIVE Noses is perhaps entitled to
the distinction Of being given first mention
Their act is done in front OF a special
stage setting, showing q Venetian scene
The members Of the troup arrive in a gon-
dola aud correctly costumed do a musical
act which easily excells anything of the
that has been offered at this theater
during the season. The comedy a~crobatic
act OF the three Blossoms also proves to be
the peer of Its kind in vaudeville. Louise
Dresser, who is considered, the Lillian Rus
sell OF the vaudeville stage, offers q nov
city In the rendition Of a burlesque Illus
trated picture song. At both performances
the audience was loath to let Miss Dresser
leave the stage. Jack Norworth has no
equal as a monologue comedian. His stories
are new and quite original. while his par
odies are beyond comparison He is doing
his act in white face this season, which
adds to its entertaining value. Jessie
Couthoui tells stories and recites in such
a pleasing manner that the audience IL un>
able to get enough Of her act. and last
night she was forced to respond to encore
after encore until she was too fatigued to
do anything more. The four Collins. fancy
dancers, Scott and Wilson, comedians. and
the kinedrome complete a bill well worth
seeing.

Afnusefnents
AZ the BOYD.

At the Boyd.
Williams and Walker and their aggrega-
tiou proved magnetic enough Sunday after
noon ana evening to test the seating ca
pacity OF the Boyd theater to its fullest
extent and likewise the laughing propensity
Of those who occupied the seats. But a
few years ago this pair entered the dra-
matte field and today they are perch,d
comfortably on the top rung Of the ladder
Of fame as colored entertainers. Bert VIII
liams could make an Egyptian mummy
laugh with his dry droll comedy, while
George Walker is the black Chesterfield Of
the American stage. He wears swell
clothes with the grace Of a John Drew and
Is not q bad singer In the bargain. Their
vehicle, THE Sons Of Ham," is the same
in name as they offered here a season ago,
but By the addition Of new music, new
comedy and new specialtles II has been
brought thoroughly up to the minute and
would not be recognized as the same piece.
The new song, my Little Zulu Babe" In
the hrst act, by Williams and walker, is
not only we'll sung. but c~leverly presented
as well. The scene opens with a tropical
setting and shows Mr.. Walker in the CO.'S
tune Of a Zulu princess. After the first
verse Mr.. Williams enters in the guise OF
u Nuiu NaIrlOT' "A cnoTus OF oushy 1ulu
maidens concealed behind palms make their
appearance opportunely and the general ef-
feet is decidedly pleasing. Miss walkers
Hannah from Savannah" with grotesque
dance, won several rounds OF applause.
George Catlin's Chinese impersonations
were realistic. Mr.. Williams song, THE
Phrenologist Coon" was a big hit, while
Mr.. Walkers Elegant Darkey Dan and
Leader Of the Ball" won encores at both
performances. All Of the specislties are
praiseworthy and the Entertainment highly
commendsble throughout. The engagement
continues Monday and Tuesday nights. with
a special matinee Tuesday afternoon.

 Haye Caused Disastrous Panic.

John W. Gates fsxplains It-CouId Have Caused Disastrous Panic.
 New York, July 1S.--In an interview in the ommercial-Advertiser to-day John W. Gates gave the following his tory of the Louisville and Nashville deal:
 "We had the opinions of the best ex-s perts and auditors in the country that Louisville and Nashville was worth more per share than Illinois Central be- fore we started into it. We knew it had $25, ,000, 900 of quick cash assets in it's treasury. The public did not know that. When we obtained 30s,000 shares of stock-tfle amount we started out to get there was short interest in the mar ket of 150,000 shares. Of this 100000 shares was foreign short interest, and 50,000 was stock MT. Belmont had sold under resolution of the board atithor- izing it's sale These 50,000 shares were not good deliveries for thirty days, and if we had called the stock and insisted upon the specific performance of con- tracts, as we had every right to do, we could have caused panic greater than the May panic.
 "The proposition was made to me by a thoroughly responsible man financial ly that if I would call and insist upon delivery of Louisville he would sell 500,- 900 shares of stock and give me half of the profits for doing it. MT. Morgan's people sent to my hotel and awakaned me at 1:S0 in the morning and stated that at meeting of bankers it had been determined that we were the own CTS of Louisville and Nashville, and they wanted to know what we proposed to do about it, stating that it meant panic probably greater than the May 9 panic. told them the proposition that had been made to me, but that under no circumstances would we insist upon specific performance of the deliveries of Louisville and Nashville stock, as we had no wish whatever to cause any panic or to make any one lose money in stocks they held. We loaned MT. Bel mont's people all the stock they wanted without any premium charged"

HOWE X STETSON.

countries are already affected by Amer that they will be still more affected in the future.
 But America's progress has been so exceedingly rapid that fear some sud- den disaster. In my opinion, too much business has been done on borrowed capital. This, coupled with the magni- tude of the commercial operations com mon in the United States, will probably lead to a panic at the first untoward circumstance, such as bad harvest or similar misfortune. While there are many strong banks in the United States there are also many weak ones whose failure will render a crash inevitable. I fear that some of these banks are lending too much money to aid business enterprises
 Another danger lies in the bank-note issues. While this is perfectly safe in the ordinary. because they are protect ed by deposit of government bonds, yet in time of panic there is considera- ble difference between negotiable paper and cash. Some of the most prominent financiers in America share these ap- prehensions, which leads me to hope that they, foreseeing the danger, will find means of averting it. If so, Amer ica's commercial progress will be even more remarkable than at present."

An drews to-day, when in opening the case for the defense, he stated that Andrews still believe he was very rich man adn able to pay every cent he owes the wrecked City Savings bank. The im- pression prevailed that Andrews had lost everything through speculation in Amalgamated Copper.
 MT Andrews will go on the stand and tell you he proposes to pay every cent he owes the bank" said the at torney for the defense, in addressing the jury, creating ripple of surprise by the announcement that Andrews would take the witness stand. MT. Andrews did not intend to cheat the bank He thought he was rich man. He thinks so still"

CYCLONE IN ONTARIO.
Sixty Rods in Width and Destroys
 Everything in It's Path.

Chesterville, Ont, July 1S.-A cyclone of great fury passed within a mile of this town early to-day and everything in it's path, about sixty rods in width, was destroyed. The country presents scene of devastation. Dwelling are ov- erturned, dead cattle are lying at near ly every farm. Several persons were killed and number injured at the farm of John Kearns, concession of Winches- ter. Of the dwelling1 not vestige can be found.
 The father lay in the clover field with broken hip and otherwise terribly briused and near him lay his little son, seven years old, dead. The corpse of the mother, evidently picked up with the house, was found against the fence. The two other children were fonud in the field with broken limbs and terribly bruised but still living.
 At the residence of Michael Grady, fifth concession of Winchester, 8 nar- row escape Is reported. John Clark the mother and four children were in the stable milking when the barn collapsed over them. Clark escaped through a potrion of the roof, and getting an axe cut his way to the imprisoned family, all of whom were got out safely except one girl, who was badly injured. It is impossible to estimate the damage now, but it is within the mark to say that in the townships of Winchester, Finch and Osnabruck will exceed $200,0 At this time four are reported dead and many seriously injured.

ANOTHER STRIKE LIKELT.
Freight Handlers May be Called
 Out Again.


 Chicago July 1S.-Another strike of the freight handlers of Chicago may be called Sunday night. President Cur ran of the Freight Handlers union has issued call for a mass meeting of all the freight handlers in the city to be held at that time, to take action on the refusal of four railroads to reinstate all the old men.
 MT. Curran said tonight that he re- gretted having to take this step. Four railroads have broken faith,' he said, because the reinstatement of all the old men was one of the things that Chairman Job insisted on particularly, and now they will be compelled to put the men back. I am free to say that the freight handlers are more determin- ed than ever to get justice. and to stand by the union, and if another walk out is ordered, not a man will return to work until each and every demand is acceded to. There will be no half way business about it this time."

PREDICTS SET BACK FOR '. s.
Views of Count Matsukatn, Former Japanese Finance Minister.

Vienna, July 1S.-Count Matsukata, the former minister of finance of Japan, who recently returned from months visit to the United States, said to the correspondent of the Associated Press:
 While I was deeply impressed with the tremendous energy of the Ameri- cans and their wonderful commercial development I fear that the too rapid progress of the United States is likely to experience a serious setback in the near future"
 Count Matsukata has already visited London, Brussels, Paris, Berlin and Rome and is now studying the finan- ciaI and economic conditions of Austria Hungary.
 ''The commercial energy of the Amer icans." continued Count Matsukata, 'incomparably surpasses anything in Europe This is undoubtedly one of the principal causes of the economic prog ress of the United States. I perceive in many directions where European
