The Bernhardt party ar rived early this morning and arrange ments were made for the appearance of the distinguished actress in the tent Sew eral hours later rain fell in torrents and it was evident If the tent was used to- night, 1t would be with much inconven- fence.

Bern hardt and requested that the opera house be substituted for the tent This was agreed to and Mime. Bernhardt appeared tonight in Camille before an enthusiastic audience.

MILLER ASKS FOR STAY.
Cuba Is 'rirm In Determination That
 CrlstobaI Colon Fly Cuban Flag.

Havana, March 2S.-J. A. Miller, mana ger of the company operating the Amer ican steamer Cristobal Colon, whose traf- fic between the Isle of Pines and the Cu- ban mainland has been interdicted unless she sails under the Cuban flag, has ..led a petition asking for an extension of thirty days before the order Is put into opera tion.
 The Cuban board of navigation tonight issued report regarding the Cristobal Colon case sustaining the government and citing a letter from Clarence Edwards, chief of the United States bureau of in- sular affairs. dated August 24, 1901, in. which he states that "the privilege of coastwise trade is by all modern civilized nations reserved for their subjects, and considering that Cuba when 1t becomes independent will assume the same atti- tude. it is the United States policy to leave the way prepared for that system"
 The department declines to make any change in the customs regulations so as to permit foreigners to engage in coast wise trade.

SUBJECTS AGREED UPON.
Many Questions Are to Come Before
 Pan-American Congress.

Washington, March 2s.-A programme of subjects to be considered at the Pan American congress to be held in Rio Ja- neiro, beginning July 21, was agreed on today by the committee of the congress having that matter in charge and of which Eecretary Root is chairman.
 There are perhaps dozen general topics in all on the programme, covering practi- cally all the matters of an international character of interests to the nations, both of North and South America. Secretary Root is not prepared to make public in detail the subjects to be considered. These subjects, however, include sanitary and quarantine regulations uniformity of pat ent laws, international recognition of di plomas and of practitioners of the learn ed professions, questions affecting com mercial intercourse and an International railroad.
 It is expected that what is commonly known as the Dragon Doctrine. which is opposed to the forceful collection of prl- vate debts by one nation from another, a doctrine adhered to by the United States. will come up for consideration in some form.

Little Rock, Ark, March 2s.-Congress- man John s. Little carried the state dem ocratic primary today in the contest for the nomination for governor over Attor- ney General Robert L.. Rogers and s. O. Seveir. In the state convention, which meets in Hot Springs on June S. next he will have probably more than 300 delegates out of a total of 517. thus assuring his nomination on the first ballot.
 Governor Jefferson Davis has an ap- parently insurmountable lead over Sena- tor James P. Berry for the nomination for United States senator, returns to the Ar kansas Gazette indicating that Davis majority in the entire state may exceed 10000 Complete returns will not be avail able until tomorrow. No concessions ot defeat come from Senator Berrys friends, and many of them express the belief that fuller returns will at least make the con- test close.
 It is estimated that fully 50,000 voters we're kept at home by the rain and low temperature
 Indications are that x. O. Pindall will be successful for attorney general. The other state contests cannot be determined from the returns thus far received.

HOLDERS IN ENGLAND
 DEPEND ON HOLDEMAN
Mutual Policy Holders Are Inclined to Trust to Ills Judgment In
 Adjusting Matters.

London, March 2S.-So far as is ascer- tainable the British policyholders of the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York are disposed to wait for the formu- lation of the scheme of D. c. Haldeman, the British manager of the company be- fore taking action, being confident that as he himself holds policies in the Mu- tual to the extent of $145,0OO he has a strong interest to see that their inter- ests are placed on a sound basis.
 In the course of an interview with the Daily Telegraph of today Mir. Haldeman said he could not believe that President Peabody could have stated that the sal aries of the London staff were reduced at the beginning of the year. Tt being" said Mr. Haldeman. "a question of reduc- tion of expenses. I adjusted the matter so that the only man who suffered any reduction was myself"
 MT. Haldeman still maintains that im- portant letters and telegrams which he sent to the New York office of the Mu- tual Life Insurance company remain un- answered but adds that he Is not sure the interest of British policyholders will be advanced by public expression on these matters.

GOVERNMENT MAKES
 TACTICAL MISTAKE
HAS COME INTO SERIOUS CON- FLIcT WITH ENGLISH LABOR PARTY AND MAJORITY OF ITS LIBERAL SUPPORTERS.

London March 29.-what is considered to be tactical mistake on the part of the government in coming into serious conflict not only with the labor party but a large majority of it's liberal supporters over the introduction of the trades dis putes bill in the house of commons yes- terday, is avowedly due to differences Of opinion among the ministers themselves. a strong minority being against com plete concession of labor views and the compromise adopted apparently pleases nobody.
 The incident is the subject of unani- nous and keen regret on the part of the newspapers this morning, because they say it has already become known that the government will yield by leaving the question to the decision of the house, and that the result of this will be a great loss of prestige. Besides, the papers say 1t is almost certain to meet with opposition in the house of lords which will send the bill back to the house of commons short of the clause granting immunity to trades unions and possibly of other important features which probably would have been accepted had the government boldly faced the problem. The house of lords the newspapers declare, will not point to the governments own course as justification for it's rejecting the immunity clause.
 The unionlsts organs naturally are ju- bilant, pointing out that this action Is II fulhllment of their predictions of the danger of the governments unwieldly majority, and heralding 1t as the begin ming of the disintegraton of the liberal battalions.
