Theatrical Notes.

For the first time in seventeen years
johnny Ray. the Irish comedian, went on
the stage at Saturdays performances at
the Grand without his wife and assistant
funmaker, Emma Ray. Mrs. Ray had been
suffering from a severe cold all week, and
finally was compelled TO remain in her
room at the hotel where she was stopping,
as her voice could scarcely be heard above
a whisper-a most unusual thing for her,
as she is famOus for her wonderful lung
power. She is a woman blessed with re-
markably good health, never having been
compelled before, during her entire stage
career, to miss a performance. The funny
part of the thing was that Johnny Ray,
who had been facing big audiences ever
since he was the leading comedian of a lit
tie stock company in San Francisco twenty
years ago. was all but overcome with stage
fright. He was Obliged TO fake an act
by himself, and, without his better half to
back him up. he was very i'll at ease. At
the conclusion of the Rays engagement

this years class should be as large as that
of last year, 81, by far the largest in the
history oil the academy. This is not the
case, however, as last year there were $40
vacancies to fill while this year there are
only 40 vacancies, SO the demand for mid

LIAO-Y4NG'S RUMORS.
Great Tension Caused IN the TO1cn
by the impending Battle.

Liao-Yang, June 24.-It IS reported that Gen
erals Oku and KurOh have joined forces and are
attacking from the direction of Wafaug- Kao.
There is talk OF a serious engagement shortly.
1t is also rumOred that The Japanese forces
which were recently advancing in this direction
have fallen back on Feng- Wang-Cheng.
The state Of tension existing may be illus
trated by the fact that the value of the ruble
fell mysteriousy at the Russo Chinese Bank.
At first this was thought TO be the effect of the
battle. bu. il discovered later that Chinese
from Port Arthur mad declared that the fortress
had been evacuated, and that all of the troops
had sailed off a number of British vessels.
The value of the ruble is again normal
II Is reported from Ying-kow that the Japan
csc are recruiting a number Of Chinese bandits
and are paying them good wages.
