On August 31. 1888, Jefferson appeared at MvWcker's theater in Chicago fin Rip. It was succeeded on October by The Rivals. tn which Jefferson made a great hit as Bob Acres.
 In May, 1869, he played an engage ment in Boston, and in August and September of that year he was at Booths theater, New York, still acting Rip. Early in 1870 he went south to visit the lonely and lovely island plan- tatiOn which he had purchased in 1869, ten miles west of New Iberia, La, in the land of Evangeline. In August. 1870, he was again at Booths 'theater. where he played Rip Van Wrinkle until February :, 1871. By the middle of December, 1870, Rip had been seen during this engagement by more than l5O,OOO persons. Jefferson appeared at the benefit performances given in New York on January 19 and 21, 1871, for the veteran actor, George Holland. He acted Mir Golighly in Lend Me Five Shillings, and was received with great delight. In 1872 the comedian was at tackled by serious affection of the eyes, but skillful operation performed early in June by Dr Reuling, of Balti- more, averted blindness, and his health was soon restored. He reap peared upon the stage at Ford's opera house on January 1, 1S73 and was re- ceived with an affectionate greeting. During the summer of that year he made short trip to England, purely for pleasure. He again appeared i'll 1a at Booths theater, and on September 3, 1874, he began farewell engage ment there. In June. 1875, he went to England professionally. remaining ! abroad two years and half. He often recalled the many pleasant friendships formed during this visit. Among those he met was an English clergyman. the Rev Joseph Jefferson, who called upon the actor out of curiosity to find if they were related.
 His native land saw Mir Jefferson again in October, 1877. and he began | an gagement at Booths theater un der the management of Augustm Daly This was his fourth and last engage. ment at this house, which was torn down a few years later.

GENERAL LINEvIICH INTERVIEWED,

 For Singapore to Re-enf0rce the Main Fleet.


 the Main Fleet.
 LONDON, April %. - The Russian second Pacific squadron has been sight ed off Cape Varela, seventy miles north of Kamranh bay.
 The Russian squadron, with its trans ports, left Kamranh bay on Wednes- day evening for an unknown destina- tion. ...,.r. !. The warships were provisioned for six months, and 1t Is thought here that they were bound for Vladivostok by way of the Pacific.
 It is thought Admiral Rojestvensky will await Nebogatoff at one of the islands of the Pacific.
 Vice Admiral Nebogatoff's division was expected to arrive on Thursday in Indo- Chinese waters, where, it is be- iieved, the admiral will receive in- structions regarding the place where he Is to effect junction with Admiral Rojestvensky, whose squadron, besides twenty-five warships, includes repair ing ship and water tank ship.
 The British steamer Catherine Apear, which has arrived at the island of Pe- nang from Calcutta, reports having passed two detachments of eight and seven warships respectively Thursday night sixty miles south of Penang.
 They were heading for Singapore and are supposed to be Nebogatoffs squad ron.
 General Linevitch, interviewed at Gunshu pass, expressed himself as highly satisfied with the present con- dition of the Russian army and its readiness to assume the offensive. He manifested emphatic regret for the re- treat from Mukden. The new com mander in chief believes that the peril to the army at that juncture was over estimated and that the day was far from being lost when the retreat was ordered. With his eyes gleaming with an in- domitable energy and emphasizing his words with a blow upon the camp ta- ble before him General Linevitch ex- claimed:
 'T would certainly not have retreat ed. realize that it is easy now to pass judgment upon accomplished facts, but nevertheless repeat I would not have retreated. I persuaded Kuropatkin to stand at Tie pass. and we halted there for time. We could have remained, but on account of certain administra- tive factors he considered it inconven- lent, and the retirement was continued. The Japanese did not press us and could not do so. as their condition was quite as bad as ours."

The improvement over other systems is that. instead of the Morse dot and dash code being used. every letter of the alphabet is expressed by a single musical note. electrically pro- jected sound waves conveying it from the sending to the receiving station. This system. if is claimed, will send messages many times faster than any other.
