EXPECT NO BENEFITS.
Chinese Have No Faith in "Open
Door, Treaty.

New York, Oct 12-The local press
displays little interest in the United
States and Japanese treaties. according
to a Times dispatch from Shanghai.
The native merchants. who We're hope
full when the British treaty negotiations
were begun, do not now expect any
practical benefits from the divided
efforts of the foreign powers to effect
a radical reform of the inland taxation
of trade.
As regards the opening of places in
Manehuria to foreign trade, native
opinion IS general that so long as the
Russian occupation is maintained the
word Opening" is meaningless and
that it is unlikely that Chinese or
American trade will derive any sub
stantial advantage from this dipIo-
matte victory

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

Her First False Step will be the
attraction at the New Crawford tonight.
The play is a realistic picture of rural
country life amid the hills of New
Hampshire where the first scene is laid.
In the last act a new and novel feature
has been introduced by the author. 1t
shows the interior of a large circus
menagerie owned by Dan Matthews.
Edna enters with her little daughter,
and as she stands looking at the numer-
Gus animals, Matthews grabs the child
and hurls it into a cage of lions. Edna
snatches a whip from one of the attend
ants and rushes into the cage. She
rescues her child and falls fainting into
the arms of her father.
No local theatrical event during the
present season has aroused such a genu-
inc and absorbing interest as that which
is already shown in the appearance of
Blance Walsh in Resurrection on
Thursday evening at the New Craw-
ford, the sale for which starts tomor-
row. This was to have been expected
however. The play is founded upon the
most widely discussed book of modern
authorship and the play itself has
proved the greatest dramatic sensation
in decade not alone in New York but
capitals of Europe. AS is generally
known, Miss Walsh in the character OF

which is said to mould the destiny of
plays. However, Chicago seems no less
appreciative of Arizona than prior to
its New York triumph if the recent en-
gagement of the piece at the Chicago
Auditorium may be taken as a criterion.
