Catching Russia on the Hip.

= CaSchfnB Nuss1a on the H1D.
 : LONDON, March 8. Answering a question in the house of commons, Pre- mier Balfour said the government con- sidered of greatest importance Russias s declaration that she proposed to treat coal as contraband of war. He was aware that the Russian plenipotentiary at the west African conference at Der lin in December, 1884, declared that Russia never would accept an interpre- tation that coal should be considered by interna tional law as centraband of war and that his government would categorically refuse to consent to rec ognize coal as contraband either in re- lation to the Kongo or any other dis trict whatever. In view of this, MT. Balfour concluded, the British govern ment was taking steps to obtain more precise information in regard to the i'm depreciation of the Russian declaration respecting contraband of war.

Jacques
VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Seldom has laughter beer so loud
 and so incessant as 1t was during the two performances at the Jacques yes
 terday, and there was no mistaking
 the hit made by the show. Hal God
 frey and company, who head the bill
 in one-act comedy entitled "A Very
 Bad Boy" have an act that leaves
 nothing wanting in the way of laugn-
 provoking dialogue and side-splithng
 situations. In the role of a tutor who
 is new to his surroundings and his
 charge, MT Godfrey makes unlimited fun, and he receives capital assistance from Miss Kate Grifiths and Will H.
 Stevens. There is another very anus
 ing act offered by Stinson and Merton under the title of "The Unexpected" It is the. unexpected jokes that proceed
 from MT Stinson. probably, that give the act it's title; but in any event the
 act is a bunch of the most absurd non-
 sense that makes the most austere laugh even though they don't seem aDle to realize just what they are laughing at. The Golden Gate Quintet intro
 duce some capital singing and dancing in connection with the characteristic coon comedy, and Nevins and Arnold and the Seyons likewise add to the comedy of the bill. The Rice family, consisting of father and three chill dren, play delightfully."- on the violin
 and piano, the Melrose troupe intro ! duce some sensational acrobatics, and the eIectrograph has some new and at l tractive films. The show is one that
 makes good because of the predomi- nance of it's comedy features and the judicious balance of the whole. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

While there are stlii some desirable seats left, it is practi. cally sure that every one of these VIII be taken before the curtain is sent up to-morrow evening. In the play MISS Adams appears in role different rom any she has heretofore assumed.

DoCKsTADER's MINISTRIES

Despite the very stormy evening,
 Poli's 'theater was comfortably filled
 last night to witness Lew Dockstader and his band of clever minstrels. The program throughout was about lhe same as presented on his last appear thee here, both in songs, settings and specialties. Dockstader was as funny
 as ever and so was Carroll Johnson. Neil O'Brien retained the popularity he has always earned by his clever work as an end man and in his spe- cialty. The solos were all well rem dered. and while some of them are rather moss grown, yet theyywere sung so we'll that they were appreciated. JDockstader himself presented again his automobile and aerial ship acts. In the latter he made some decided hits with the audience, especially when he touched upon the local field. Some of his drolI sayings from his suspended airship were as follows With the aid of a searchlight he spies Waterbury.
