The Toreador' Pleased.

jefferson De Angels and his opera COM
pany last night presented to highly
pleased audience "The Toreador,' a must
cal comedy in two acts.
The company was handicapped in pre-
senting the comedy because of inability to
place their scenery On The stage, but gave
nevertheless a performance which was
full of enjoyment to the audience, which
was a large one.
Of course all the amusement centered
about De Angels as Sammy Gigg, foot
man on tiger, who was forced into mas
querading as a toreador or bull fighter
all the genuine, one CarajolO, put in his
appearance. The events centered about
him and his droll antics kept the au-
diencc amused.
The solos and chorus work was good
there were number of pretty girls in
the chorus and the performance was en-
ioyed by the audience.

QUICK TRIP SOUTH.
Seaboard Annual Tourist Train From
New York to st. Augustine.

A Seaboard Air Line train OF SIX hand
some Pullmans carrying 105 wealthy peo-
pie from New York to St. Augustine,
Fla, went through Raleigh on Tuesday
night, this being the annual tourist spe-
d cial. and it made a record in which the
Seaboard Air Line is TO be congratulated.
The run from New York to st. Au-
gustine was made in twenty four hours,
and though leaving Richmond at 1870, a
half hour late, Raleigh was reached on
time at II o'clock, with Engineer Bishop
at the throttle on engine No. SO, the
time taken being three hours and half,
with two stops for water and three slow
downs. From Henderson to Raleigh the
forty-five miles were made in forty min
utes This was a splendid. one and
showed that Engineer Bishop knew how
to handle his machine.
Engineer Wright, with engine No. SO
took the train here, and at 1880 yesterday
morning had reached Columbia, a dis
lance Of 206 miles, with ten minute
stop at Hamlet.
On board the train was District Passen-
ger Agent H. S. Leard, who joined the
party at Richmond and went to st. Au-
gustine; Superintendent w. r. Hudson,
OF the Second Division, Trainmaster
Whitfield, and Road Foreman of Engineers
Clark boarded the train here, which COM
pleted in splendid time the quick run to
st. Augustine.

OUR TOBACCO EXHIBITS.
Mr.. Bruner Says State Will be Cred
itabIy Represented.

Secretary T. X. Bruner, of the State
Department of Agriculture, and who is
in charge of the installation of the agri-
cultural exhibits from all of the States
at st. Louis, was in the city yesterday,
after working for ten days in the inter
est of the special tobacco exhibit for
North Carolina He has visited Winston,
Reidsville Durham, Oxford, Henderson,
Wilson, Greenville, Kinston, Goldsboro
and Rocky Mount by proxy. Many OF
the markets visited have not yet, he said,
had time to make definite reply to the
appeal made to them.
However" continued Mr.. Bruner,
enough is known to give assurance that
the State will be creditably represented
certainly from some of the markets, while
those in the east will probably make as
surances to the Governor within a few
davs.'
Mr.. Bruner explained that the design
for the North Carolina exhibit is intended
to comprise all of the markets mention
ed In other words, the exhibits from
these markets will be placed under the
town name and grouped in that way. 1t
IS therefore essential that each of the
markets have as creditable a representa-
ton Of the leaf sold and the goods man
ufactured therein as it is possible to
make. 1t is hoped that the eastern mar
kets will do as well as some of those in
the west.
Mr.. Bruner leaves again tonight for st
Louis.

War and Navy Depart
ment Orders in Pana-
ma Affair.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, D. c., Feb. 3.--The Presi-
dent sent to the Senate today mass OF
correspondence in response to Senator
Germans resolution. The circumstances
under which forces were landed are gwen
BY the President in detail, but orders by
the War and Navy Departments concern
ing the inner workings OF SUCH depart,
ments and which constitute part OF The
records of the Offices Of military and
naval intelligence are withheld, on the
grounds that the disclosure OF such con-
fuential matters would be Incompatible
with the public interest
AS a preface to the correspondence Act
inE Secretary LOOMS writes letter,
which says all the correspondence on rec
ord III the Department OF State is given
and that from this It appears United
States forces have been landed on the
Isthmus Of Panama ten times. A land
ing made in September, 1902, was the
only one made without actual request
from the government of the isthmus. The
Secretary in regard to this says:
Forces were landed to keep open the
transit, the governor OF the State being
duly notified"
Acting Secretary Loomis says further
''The accompanying papers also show
that the United States has been asked by
New Granada and Colombia to execute,
by armed force, the guaranty OF the ner-
trality OF the isthmus or of the sovereign
ty OF New Granada or Colombia. and the
dates and circumstances Of such requests
1T appears from the correspondent
that on one occasion United States forces
were landed solely on the initiative of
the United States-namely, in September,
1902,-when the Panama authorities were
duly notified of the proposed landing.
'The correspondence further shows that
the forces Of the United States have
never been employed in the internal ar
fairs of New Granada or Colombia other
wise than to protect United States prop
erty and maintain order and the freedom
of the transit on the isthmian territory
under the provisions OF the treaty Of
1886"
