Grams were disappointed by their ina
bility to secure seats for lack of room.
The opening scene with it's brilliant
electrical display and it's very realistic
representation of the White House was
something beautiful, novel and original
in the way of minstrelsy settings, as
was also the costumes of the diplomats,
which were especially noticeable for
their correctness. Each number was a
good one both in the first part and in
the second. but Jimmy Wall was, as
usual. the bright particular star among
the comedians. Gaspard brothers did
some particularly difficult and danger

and other sharp instruments. Sander

short of incredible and the trick aero
batic work Of Mullen and Correli was

KRAG.JoReENsoN RIFLE
To Be Issued to State Militia as Rapid
" as Possible.

Washington, March Seen. Crozier
chief of ordnance, has made prelimi-
nary arrangements for arming the en-
tire organized militia of the United
States with the Krag-Jorgensen mus
ket of the regular service, in accord
ance with the provisions of the new
militia law. He already has collected
about $1,000 of these arms at govern
ment arsenals and more will be shipped
to the arsenals, from Springfield, Mass,
as needed. Nearly $4,000 Krag-Jorgen-
sens have been sent to the arsenal at
Rock island. These arms will replace
the Springfield muskets which are to be
returned to the government.
According to the latest returns by
Adjutant General Corbin, the organ
lied stength of the militia is 115,749,
but the impression prevails at the war
department. that the 10000 Krag-Jor
gensens already collected at the ar
senals named will be sufficient to meet
all demands for several months to
come.
