ing musical comedy, presented at the
Colonial Theatre last night by Messrs.
Milton and Sargent Aborn, was a
laughing success. The waits are ex-
cusahle, as it is difficult to adapt the
scenery of such large production to
the small stage of the local theatre.
The encores, six Of which were
given to MessTs. Turpin. McElhern and
Cameron, in their funny song do

always something TO laugh at Mr..
McElhern, as "Fresco, the ballet
master, etc, is very clever. Indeed,
every character is good.
Mr.. Cameron is an excellent Polish
count and musical composer. He never
once forgot his character. The gypsy
Boris, Mr. Baker, is also exceedingly
good in his part, and Mr.. Turpin. the
gypsy musician, has a fine baritone
voice and sings well. The star of the
cast, but really there seems to be sew
eral stellar attractions, is Miss Grace
Orr Myers. She has charming voice,
clear, sweet and bell-like. She is
pretty and vivacious and in her dual
role of gyIsy fortune teller and
pupil of the opera, she carried off the
palm.
Miss Irene Langford, "Mlle Pom.

is seldom in cast like this there are
two such beautiful voices as Miss
Myers and Miss Langford. The scenic
effects were very attractive, the cos
tunes fetching, the choruses catchy

tinctive success.

WRECK ON THE L. OND N.
Passenger Trains to Mobile Run vi,
 Selma.

The wreck of a freight train at Chapman, fifty miles south of Mont- gomery, on the Louisville and Nash vile Railroad at o'clock this morn- ing promises to cause considerable de- lay to trains running between Mont gomery and Mobile.
 Details of the wreck at this hour are meagre. Northbound freight train No 14 is said to have plunged through a trestle in front of the saw mill at Chap man. which is between Boiling and Georgiana. No one was hurt. but IL seems that number of freight cars were piled upon each other and that a mass of debris was left on the tracks.
 At an early hour this morning ar. engagements had been perfected for all passenger trains of the Louisville and Nashville to run by way of Selma The fast mail train, No. 97, which left Montgomery shortly after 3 o'clock this morning ran to Mobile by way oi Selma, Flomaton and Mobile and the northbound train will reach here this morning by way of Selma.
 Two wrecking crews, were sent to Chapman from Montgomery and one wrecking crew was ordered there from Mobile.

Philadelphia Federal Grand Jury Re-
 ceives Evidence.

v Philadelphia. Dec. 13.--As directed by United States Attorney General Moody. District Attorney J. Whitaker Thomp- son today began the presentation of evidence to the Federal Grand jury relative to the charges of rebating which have made against certain com mon carriers and shippers.
 The case given to the jury today was that of R. D. Wood & Co. of this city, manufacturers of iron piping. The piping on which alleged rebates had been made amounted to 1,500 tons, was shipped from this city to Fairport. O., by the Baltimore and Ohio and from there transported to Winnipeg
 An agent of R. D. Wood and Com pany, 1t Is charged, closed a contract with an agent of the Great Northern to carry the piping for A 1-2c a hum dred pounds, whereas the published tariff rate is 49 1-2c. The full tariff rate was paid but the company, 1t is alleged. subsequently, received rebate of s1.500.
 District Attorney Thompson in dis cussing the case said that the infor- nation brought out before the graIid jury was stronger than expected. The Wood case. he said, would be com pleted tomorrow and other cases will then be taken up.

ROOT BEFORE COMMITTEE.
Secretary of state Recommends Changes
 in Laws.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Secretary of State Root attended the meeting of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations today. He discussed the bill introduced by Senator Lodge providing for the re- organization of the consular service.
 It is understood that the Isle of Pines treaty and the treaty relating to Santo Domingo were considered briefly.
 Tne Secretary of State asked that the consular service be classified and the President authorized to assign members of the classes proposed to such posts as the interests of the service require instead of having appointments made for specified posts.
 The creation of an adequate immi- grafton inspection service and the abol- Ishment of the fee system were recom- mended by Secretary Root This would necessitate a material increase in sala- ries at consulates where the fee system has been followed. An increase in working forces was asked for and the need of suitable quarters for embassies and legations was emphasized.
 Secretary Root also asked the com nittee to make provision for the ere ation of minister to the new Kingdom of Norway.

London, Dec. 13.-Another demon stration of the unemployed occurred to- day but the diminishing number of par ticipants and absence of spectators in- dIcated waning interest in the opera tions of the Socialist Democratic League.
 The paraders traversed Belgravia square in order to show themselves to Premier Campbell Zimmerman and a couple of representatives were admitted to interview the premier. who had in- vited the president of the local gov srnment board. John Burns. to partici- ate.
 It is generally understood that the Right Honorable John,' as he Is now <nown, expressed desire for his ap- oointment to the presidency of the To- ,aI government board so that he might ieal with the unemployed question
 The Premier. replying to tho deputa- tion, said he greatly sympathized with fhe men who were out of work but ap- aprently he had no panacea to offer. He said he might be relied on to give the fullest consideration to the question. and added that he had the advantage of the advice of knowledge of John Burns. who felt equally with himself tn necessity of doing everything possible fo rthe unemployed.
