PLOT TO RUIN MASCAGNI
Theatrical Trust Shows It's Power
in Bringing His Tour to
Close. =.

Chicago, Dec. 25.-The unfortunate end
ing of the tour Of Pietro Mascasni has
aroused much public sympathy for the
great composer. Indignation, too is felt
at the people who have bounded him and
done all that they could to ruin the sue
cess of his visit in America.
Ever since his arrival in this country
Signor Mascagni has been the victim of
malice and petty persecution. The inten-
ton seems to be to make him an exam
pie to other great European artists that
If they wish to come here they must
come here under certain auspices.
The present Chicago trouble is due to
Ryan promotes the publicity. Of three
places Of amusement, Middletons Mu-
scum, Powers and the Illinois theater.
1t is fact that those who have paid
much attention to the tour Of Mascagni
attach much significance to that fact that
the lastatWo places are controlled by the
theatrical syndicate.
1t is in their employee, therefore, that
Ryan makes his living, and it is by his
act that the tour is at last brought to an
end. -
Taken in connection with the rumors
which have caused the great maestro so
much trouble all came from New York.
and that the managers who brought him
here and then deserted him are in friendly

fractions being booked by that organiza-
tion-it is not difficult to believe that
Ryan was not acting upon his own initi-
alive.
His claim for $3.50 is deprecated by
many. IIewas really engaged, according
to his own story, by the Mittenthal
brothers.. who brought the composer to
this country.
For some time it has been the policy
of the theatrical syndicate to discourage
any European artists who came to this
country under any other management.
The transfer of the contract; of Jan
Kubelils. the violinist, to Daniel Frohman
is we'll remembered and is a startling ex-
ample of the methods used. Like every
trust to continue it must maintain a mo-
nopoly and the bounding and persecution
of Mascagni is merely. an example of its
methods Z
The general sentiment, however. is that
it has gone too far in the present case.

have much to ask of the legislature.
AS The Journal has noted, there Is
a strong movement for civil service in the
fire department. and the legislature will
probably be asked to pass an enabling act,
to permit the city to vote on an amend
ment to It's charter to this effect. VI
The legislature will be asked to legaliza
the 100000 of school bonds which failed at
the election. also the 100000 issue Of

Altogether, there is a busy winter in
prospect for the lawmakers, and the
amount Of work they do depends entirely
on how much they want to do.

Alaskan Storekeeper Also Said to
Have Been Murdered and His
Store Looted.

Victoria. b. c.. Dec. 25.-The steamer
Amur, which arrived from Skagway yes
terday brought news Of the massacre by
9Pelly river Indians Of Little Salmon In
dams and the murder Of a storekeeper,
whose store was looted and burned.
Dispatches from Dawson state that the
Little Salmon Indians were on their way
out to sell furs, when attacked by the
Pelly Indians. The Little Salmons were
encamped and they awaited the appear
ance of the Pellys without expecting
danger: When, the latter were within a
short distance they yelled and simulta-
neously fired their guns.
: Several of the Little Salmons were
slaughtered on the spot. Others were
followed and killed while they were flee
ing for safety. A small number of the
party escaped. Survivors returned to the
home village and the women and chill
dren were hurried to the police. post at
Tantalus for safety. --
Little definite news was received re-
garding the attack ON the store, which
occurred Dec. /. Vague reports received
by the police state that the storekeeper
was shot and killed and his assistant, who
was wounded, fled to the woods

For the. first tinleIti the history u of
Minnea polls there is a sleigh and cutter
famine. The unusually heavy snowfall
for this time of the year and the accom-
panying bitter cold have put everything
on wheels, including tautom obiles, out of
the business, excepting steet cars. The
inadequate car service has helped stimu-

and the results an unprecedented use of
sleighs, hobs: and. cutters. ,ir 81 Ig:t.zs,
The combination of sleet, snow and rain
which came in a bunch this season laid
the best concrete foundation for sleigh
ing which has existed in Minneapolis since
the famous old winters Of early and late
heavy ~snowfalls. This made sleighing
possible as soon as winter arrived and
runners were Immediately applicable. Cut
tiers covered with the, accumulated cob
from the barn lofts, where they had been
well nigh forgotten for years, brushed UP
and put into commission. But relatively
few drivers were fortunate enough to
! possess sleighs, and all the cutters that
the market afforded were readily snapped
up. The supply on hand lasted but a
short time. Dealers had grown so UNI
accustomed to handling large stocks and
vehicles adapted solely for the winter sea-
son that they were in no position to sup
ply the demand. 6 .".:...s.>
| Even the manufacturers could offer no
relief. They had not manufactured cut
tiers and sleighs on a large scale, antici-
pating no such demand as was suddenly
made upon them. 4 -. So.
AS a result, good sleighing and hard
shedding for wheels finds this city poorly
supplied with runner vehicles The occa-
sional sleigh or cutter offered for sale
here and there commands a fancy price
and the salesman can dictate his terms
Even old cutters, which would have been
sold for song or given away in other
days are in great demand. Everything
that will slip over the snow is being
brought into service. The dealers have
