The Dawson amateurs played 1.-THE
Scrap of Paper" at the opera house
Friday evening. Quite crowd wit
messed the performance, and several
of Dawson's regular attendants on
the theatres say that the show was the
best that has been given here this sea-

All who took part in the play de-
serve the highest concentration OF the
public, since the excellence of the per-
Torrance was the result of six weeks
of arduous work on the part of every
one engaged in it. They have their
reward in the interest manifested by
the audience and the general express

that Dawson has some good histrionlc
talent it is to be hoped that the anna
tenrs will favor us with another show

A SCANDINAVIAN ALLIANCE
Change of Denmark's Rulers Ex-
pected TO Form Closer Ties He
tween Scandinavian Nations.

Stockholm, Jan. 3l.-Efforts to form
closer ties among the Scandinavian
kingdoms are expected to result from
the change of rulers In Denmark. King
Christian favored the unity of these
peoples. but with him 1t was a purely
academic sentiment, and he did nothing
material to promote the idea. He even
feared to discuss the question seriously,
lest dissensions should arise. King
Frederick's intimate friends claim that
not only does he believe In SandI-
nayian alliance as an abstract propo.d.
tion, but that be harbors purpose, as
opportunity may offer, to reduce the
idea to practice.
Funeral to he simple.
Following the wishes of King Chris
tion, the funeral will be attended with
little ceremonial. The body Will not
actually lie In state, but prior to the
entombment, which is expected to take
place In about fortnight, II will be
visited by the chiefs m state. The
burial will take place in the Cathedral
Of Rasakilde, beside Queen Louise, in
the chapel Of Frederick v.

AUDAcIOUS ASSASSINATION
RUSSIAN GENERAL SLAIN WITH
BOMB AT TIFLIs.
Gen. Grta.noa, Chief Of stan to
the vieeroy OF caaeasus,
the victim. :, :

Tihis, Caucasia, Jan. I.-Gen. Griaz-
non, chief Of the stan Of the viceroy Of
Caucasus, was slain with a bomb in q
most dramatic and audacious manner.
The assassin evidently had studied the
habits Of his victim, and lay In wait be-
hind q wall Of the Alexander garden.
opposite the entrance Of the palace.
where a carriage was drawn up to take
the general for his daily drive.
A shining Target.
Gen. Griaznof, clad In a crimson uni
form and the white lambs wool shapka,
or cap, worn by the vicesoy's aide-de-
camp, made q shining target for the
erouching assassin when he emerged
from the palace. As the general stepped
into the carriage the man sprang on the
wall, swung the can by a cord. and the
bomb, as II thrown from a sling, with
marvellous precision sped straight to the
mark and struck the general on the
neck.
Blown Out of Carriage.
A fash of nre and terrible explosion
followed, and Griaznoff was literally
blown out Of the carriage and his coach
man, Cossack orderly, and the latters
horse was instantly killed. A lady who
was passing at the time Of the sxplo-
sion was mortally wounded.
Griaznoff's shapeless body, surround
ed by soldiers, presented sickening
spectacle. The generals distracted
widow, who rushed out from the palace,
knelt In the mud beside the mutilated
body.
The assassin had already been caught
and beaten into insensihillty by the in
furiated soldiers, and after being load
ed into drosky was being carried of
to the ancient fortress above the city,
where, as Tifiis Ia under martial law,
he will probably be executed at dawn.
Race Battle Renewed.
The most intense excitement followed
the assassination, as terrible punish
ment Is Ineted out by the troops to bomb
throwers. The population fed in terror
before the Cossacks and other troops
who were soon out In force to clear the
streets. Shortly before dark fusilade
exchanged between Tartars and Arme-
mans produced a veritable panic, as 1t
was feared that the horrors Of the re-
cent war between the races had been
renewed.
