NEW CHICAGO ORDINANCE ENDS

SAY REGULATIONS WILL RESULT
IN MAKING ALL THEATERS
uNPRoFiTABLE.

Chicago, Jan. 20.-Chicago theatel
managers take an extremely pessimis
tic view of the situation created by the
action of the city council, which has
finally adopted stringent theatel
law. The announcement was made al
nearly every playhouse that under the
new ordinance there is no hope of con
tinuing in business. The retroactive
provisions of the measure put the Older
theaters beyond the hope Of again
opening doors. In the more modern
theaters the improvements and altera
tions required will make it impossible
the managers say, to operate with 8
profit.
Without the galleries it is claimed
no theater in Chicago can do more
than pay expenses. The books of sew
eral managers, it is claimed, show that
with the revenue from the top floor
eliminated the receipts would fall be
low the expenses. The change oi
rise" in the gallery seats, it is said
would mean a virtual reconstruction o1
every theater in the city.

PANlcnY IN KOREA.
Minister Alien Apprehensive of ar
Outbreak.


/. Washington, Jan. 20.-The only ad'
vices received over night at the state
department from the East came from
Minister Allen, at Seoul. He reports
that Korea is in a panicky condition
and there is apprehension Of riotous
outbreak at any moment.
The intimation is conveyed that In
terested foreign emissaries are at the
bottom Of these disturbances, the re
suit Of which may be to afford an ex
cuse for intervention and the placing
of large forces in Korea, thus precipi'
tating a hostile collision between Rus
sia and Japan.
1t Is understood that the matter Of
reinforcing the United States legation
guard at Seoul will be left to the mu,
tual arrangement Of Mr.. Allen and
Rear Admiral Evans.
The impression prevails here that
the present force Of American ma
rines at Seoul is sufficient for the pro
lection Of the legation and Of the elec.
trio railway and light works, the latter
of American ownership, and beyond
this the government here is not dis
posed to go.
The Germans also have landed ma
"rines to protect the legation.

London. Jan. 20-The Guild hall
was packed to suffocation TO hear
Joseph Chamberlain speak Even an
hour before the opening OF the meet
ing standing room was not available
to ticket holders.
Mr.. Chamberlain, who said he be-
lieyed the same arguments he used IN
the provinces would appeal equally to
imperialistic London, then proceeded
to reiterate his we'll known fiscal
views. He pointed out that while Lon
don was now the clearinghouse of the
world he doubted II that-position could
be maintained If the ancient fiscal SUI
perstition was to be upheld. Before
it was too late lesson should be
learned from the fate OF Venice, Hol-

greatness had vanished because they
had no productive and creative energy
behind them.

Although no vote Of confidence WAS
permitted the extraordinary enthu-

lain's carriage to the Guild hall, the
cheers which punctuated his speech
and the vociferous applause at the
close Of his remarks must have as
sured the former colonial secretary
that he had the full sympathy of his

Globe Corporation.
London, Jan. 20.-Whitaker Wright
the company promoter, on trial on the
charge of fraud entered the witness
box during the day. The former finan.
cier was composed and answered
questions firmly. He first related the
story of his life in America and then
told of the foundation Of the London
and Globe corporation, which, he de-
clared, was prosperous until the end
of 1898. after the South African wal
had started, when matters became
disastrous. The witness added that
he assisted the company out of his
private pocket, lending it between
$2,0O0,000 and S2.500,000.
Previous to this he had prepared a
settlement of $1,5O0,00O on his family,
giving 100000 to each of his children.
but one day in 1899 the company's ac-
countant informed him that he must
have S1,5O0, 900 or the company would
be obliged to suspend. The witness
said he supplied the money and, con-
sequently, the settlement on his fam
lily was never carried out
Wright admitted that he only held
$500 shares of the London and Globe
corporation at the time of the crash.
