the interruption to Mr.. Dayton and
when he came % speaking the recall
citrant Republican became worse than
ever Col. Hetzel kindly and politely
urged the man to keey quiet. but he
insisted that he and his friends had
been treated badly in the turning

then the tax law was grievances. Col.
Hetz.l worried aud labored with the
fellow aud his speech until his pa

up to the fellow struck him knock

as the crowd hauled him out. 1t IL

CHICAGO THEATERS.
Exits Must Not Be More Than
Twelve Feet Above SurfaQa.
All PIsyhouses Must Open on at Least
Two Public Thoroughfares - A
Strong Fight Was Made
Against This Section.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-The city council
held an all night session Monday night
for the purpose of considering the new
theater ordinance. At midnight sew
eral sections of the proposed law had
been adopted, but there still remained
so much to do that,a recess was taken
until ! O'Clock, when the ordinance
was again taken up. At the time OF
taking the recess it did not seem prob
able that the ordinance would be
adopted before early morning, and an
adjournment without final action was
among the possibilities The most i'm
portant provisions of the ordinance
adopted up to the time of the recess
were as follows:
Fire pumps to be placed on and I'M
der the stage, and four axes and six
fire hooks to be placed On each floor
of the theater.
All theaters must open on at least
two public thoroughfares; no theater
to be more than IL feet above the
street level; stairway space in each
balcony to be at least 20 inches for
every 100 seats.
Some of these provisions, notably
that requiring that the building shall
adjoin at least two public thorough
fares, will compel the reconstruction
of several of the leading theaters in
the city. A strong fight was made to
have this section of the ordinance read
Zone public thoroughfare and one pub
lie or private alley" but it was finally
defeated.
The provision fixing the maximum
height above the street level at II feet
will practically put two prominent
downtown playhouses out of business,
and kills off number of the outlaying
houses.
Chicago, Jan. 20-The city council
Tuesday night took action that will,
in all probability, result in the closing
of nearly all of the theaters Of Chicago
for the remainder Of the present the
atrical season. Monday night the
council passed an ordinance setting
forth what must be done by the thea
tiers of this city before they are al
lowed to remain in continuous opera

consider the passage of an enabling
act that would allow the theaters to
operate for the remainder of this sea-
son without being compelled to fulfill
all the requirements of the ordinance
as some of the conditions are Of ma
ture that will require the practical re-
construction Of some of the play
houses. After a long debate the coun-
Gil decided on the following essen
tials which the theaters must meet be-
fore they will be allowed to reopen
their doors: A steel curtain an auto
matte sprinkling system; a bond Of
$4,000 guaranteeing the performance
by August 1, 1904, of all the require
ments of the ordinance; the widening
of doors and exits.
The managers Of theaters declared
Tuesday night that it would be i'm
possible for them to meet the demands
of the enabling act in sufficient time
to do business during the remainder
of this season, and several of them de-
clared that they had no intention of
trying to reopen their doors. The
manager Of one theater declared that
he thought he could be in shape by
February l.

AFFAIRS IN THE EAST.
Russians Claim Corean Soldiers
Are Causing Trouble.
Japan Will Neither Yield Her Stand
point Nor Accept the Mediation of
Third Power-China Will
Maintain Neutrality.

Seoul, Jan. 20.-Russia complains
that Coreah soldiers are causing trou-
bic. Corea answers that Russia must
not interfere.
The tension in Seoul is increasing
and the native press, which probably
is inspired, is more bitter against for
eigners than formerly. The emperor's
trusted advisers have a daily council.
The Russian and English legations
have increased their guards by 16.
The Japanese are buying and storing
much rice in Northern Corea. The
ginseng trade is dead.
The Corean general, Yihak Kun,
whose sympathies are pro-Russian,
has made a yelled threat against for
eigners.
The Peking correspondent of the
Times declares in a dispatch that ia
pans latest note is stronger in tone
than the preceding one, and that she
will neither yield her moderate stand
point nor accept the mediation of q
third power. Not only to the Japan
csc, but to the American and British
ministers, the correspondent continues,
has China given satisfactory assur-
ances of her intention to maintain
strict neutrality in accordance with
Lord Lansdowne's advice.
The German newspapers Tuesday
morning appear to be paving the way
to explain the Russian retreat in the
negotiations with Japan, and in all
the capitals of Europe, opinion now in
clines to a peaceful issue in the far
east.
