NEARLY PREVENTS PL4T
Discharged Stage Hand Avcngcs
Himself by Cutting Scenery Ropes.

The first performance of Sweet Kitty Bel
LARS which was given at the Belasco Theatre
last night, escaped postponement by narrow
margin. owing to the success which attended
the attempt of some to get even with the
management. When the workmen came to the
theatre on Monday morning to arrange the
scenery for the dress rehearsals of the play
they found that all the hangers, or ropes which
are used in shifting the scenery had been cut
and that it impossible to move single
piece
On Saturday afternoon Mr.. Belasco had dis
charged number of stage hands. and it is
thought that it one of these who got into
the theatre Sunday. and, being familiar with
the place, and knowing the damage which would
result from cutting the ropes. took this method
of avenging himself The scenery used in the
play is unusually heavy. and as in all the plays
produced in the BeasCO Theatre is largely
managed from tho flies. because of the mar
rowness of the stage, Even the heavy pieces
OF furniture, instead of being pushed TO the back
of the stage when not in use are lifted seventy
FIVE feet into the air. Everything is hung on
the ropes which are run TO the top of the theatre
and are weighted that they can be managed
easily. The ropes had all been cut in such a
way that il would not show, but that when any
attempt was made to move scene the rope
would come in two. Even the ropes and tackle
of the curtain, which is controlled by big hy-
draulc drum, had been destroyed
The rope for the hangers is of special i'm
ported kind. The management were at first
afraid that they would not be able to procure
another supply in time for last nights perform
ance. but finally found some the piers. and
two gangs were set to work The hangers i'm
the last see lie were not finished till nearly time
for the performance last night.

MUCH LAND OvERFL0WED

New Orleans. April s.-The most se- rious development of the flood situation today was the break in the levee at Holly brook Plantation, owned by James G. Pittman. The crevasse is about six miles below Lake Providence in East Carroll Parish. The ievee was probably eighteen feet in height and no attempt will be made to mend it. Efforts. however. will be made to hold the ends. Much valuable cotton land will be overfiowed,
 Owing to protracted rains, little planting has been done and the damage will be in delay in getting seed into the ground. The crevases is reported to be 500 feet wide.

Dis patches from the vicinity of the break say with favorable existing river condi- tions the water will not long run through the crevasse and the damage will be con- siderahly less than that done by the Wyly Bass crevasse in the same vicinity in 1893.
 Work of strengthening the cribwork at Hymelia continued throughout the day. No signs of weakness in the structure have yet appeared. It is anticipated that sacking will begin tomorrow and that the break will be mended early next week.
 The river here today fiuctuated between 2o.2 and 20.3, a slight rise over yesterday. due in all probability to a reduction of the discharge at Hymelia-

IA POSITIVE ANNOUNCEMENT

New York. April 3.-The only feature of interest today in the Southern Pacific controversy was a sharp recovery in the shares in the last hour. The rally seemed based on reports that J. P. Morgan had consented to settle matters by taking over the holdings of the pool. These reports were promptly denied in every authori- tative quarter, a member of the Morgan firm making this statement:
 There Is no truth whatever in any report that MT. Morgan or the firm of J. P. Morgan and Company have taken over from James R. Keene or T. J. Tay- Tor and Company any Southern Pacific stock We have no interest in the matter directly or indirectly. in any shape. man ner or form
 This statement. 1t was added. holds good indefinitely. ...'.
 Denials no less positive came from E. H. Harriman's o:fice and the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb and Company.
 Almost 40.Oo0 shares of Southern Pacific changed hands during the day. the bulk of the trading taking place during the rally in the afternoon. After selling down to 55 1-4. the stock advanced to 60 l-2 and closed at 5s. a net loss of 6-s. Much selling during the morning suggested forced liquidation.

FOR NATIONAL THEATRE.
Andrew Carnegie Said to be Interest
 ed in the Scheme.


 New York, April 3.-The committee ap- pointed in February to formulate a plan for presenting the endowed national art theatre project has announced the plan.
 The central idea of the committee is the formation of a corporation. such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in which membership and not stock shali control. Subscriptions are to be solic- ite1. Andrew Carnegie is said to be in- terested in the idea and many other wealthy men are declared to be ready to subscribe. No subsidy is expected from the Goversment, the theatre being na- tional only as regards the breadth of it.
 The plan as prepared by the committee is in part:
 To construct and maintain by private endowment And personal subscription in New York, a modern theatre of Ameri- can type devoted to the advancement of American drama, by the presentation of American plays, the repertory also to include the classic and standard plays, American and foreign, the manager to be an An erican.
 That the Board of Directors shall con- sist of fifteen gentlemen, three to be chosen by the American Dramatists' Club. one by Columbia University three Authors Club one by the Bar Asso- citation, one by the Chamber of Com merce; these ten directors to choose the remaining five. as follows:
 One representative of the art of act ing, one representative of the art of music and three unconnected with any of the foregoing interests. but men of pub lie spirit and devoted to the idea of es- ta blishing a national theatre.

NEW YORK 1rATIA MYSTERY.
Attempt to Kidnap . wealthy
 Banker.

New Rochelle, N. Y., April 3.-The po- lice of this place are Investigating an attempt by two men, believed to be mem bers of the Mana Society. to kidnap Thomas Baietto, . wealthy banker.
 Mir. Balietto was aroused about 2 .. m. by . loud knock at his door. Re- spending to the call he found . round- about containing two men. waiting In front of the house. The strangers wore ulsters and siouch, hats. which entirely concealed their faces. When the banker appeared they sprang upon him and or dered him to go with them. Balletto pleaded with the men to let him 60. /, At, first he thought they were some friends playing an April fool joke. He was in his night clothes, and as he had been ill.,. pleaded that he would catch more cold. The strangers tried vaAnly to drag him toward the rig. When one of them drew. . long stilletto and -four ished 1t in his face Mir. Bailetto realized that they were tn earnest. They told him that if he did not so with them. they would kill him on the spot.
 He succeeded in breaking from them and ran up stairs where he got his re- dow, when the strangers drove away.
 Immediately an alarm was sent out and two men who were driving without a light were arrested. They insist they were Antonio Rafaelo and Louis Beth, of Mount Vernon.
 MT. Balletto believes they are the men who tried to kidnap him. They were held for trial. The banker is at a loss to understand why the Mafia should have singled him out for punishment unless 1t be that he is deputy, sheriff and has served many warrants on his fellow coun- trymen.

Constantinople. April 3,-Advices from Monster says the Bulgarian inhabitants of thirty villages in the Okhrida district. totaling three thousand men, and sup ported by the bshop and a number of revolutionary bands. have risen against the Turks. They surrounded small de- tachmen tof Turkish troops in the noun tains northward of Okhrida, but the troops succeeded in cutting their way out after sustaining considerable loss.
 Another dynamite outrage at the town of Mustapha Pacha has led to the dis covery that the revolutionary committee is supposed to be responsible for the att tempt to wreck the Oriental express early In the morning of March 31. when the bridge of the Turkish Oriental rail- road. between Adrianople and Mustapha, was blown up by an internal machine.
 Although affairs at Miltrovitza and Prisptina are reported to be calmer, the rising of the Alabanians in those dis tricts creates intense concern at the palace, among the ministers and at the embassies.
 It s felt that continuation of the
