The Mobile Register supports the

The effort to make Mr.. Bryan re-
sponsible for an increase in the in
tensity of the boycott Of American
goods in China will hardly prove
successful. 1t is stated that the boy
colt was dying out, when at a dinner
given at Hong Kong in his honor.
twelve notifications Of the Chinese
exclusion act being presented TO him
with the statement that if they were
adopted by Congress theboycott would
be called OF, he stated in a speech
that American wOTkmen would never
consent to the admission to the Unit
Ell States Of skilled wOrkmen or la
borers from China. AS soon as this
speech was nOiSed abroad the boy
colt was renewed with more feeling
than had been previously shown.
1t may be true that Mr.. Bryan de
hVered such a speech, but il is cues
tonable if it had the effect attribut-
ed to II. II Mr.. Bryan made the fore
going statement respecting the atti-
tude of American workmen relative
to the admission of Chinese workmen
and labOrers he didn't depart in the
least from the truth. As a matter
o. fact. Mr.. Bryan had no authority
TO promise that the exclusion act
would be modified. He could only
state what he as an individual would
support, and he no doubt told the
Chinese what Congress would likely
DO and what it wouldn't do. speaking
from his knowledge Of the situation.
Ever since Congress assembled It
has been trying TO do something in
the direction Of the modification of
the Chinese exclusion act, but it has
been unable owing to the opposition
of the labor element and the hostility
Of western congressman. The mill
men Of the south ana east are ex-
tremely anxious TO have the exclu-
sion act modified because China is
one of the best markets for their
products. but they have not been able
10 accomplish anything.
There are signs cropping out all
the time Of a bitter feeling against
all foreigners throughout China One
of the most distinguished Cinnamon
in this country. a resident of Gin
cinnati, wired his friends in the Pa
ciic coast cities on Sunday. that one
times was about to take place in
China, and advised them TO notify by
cable their friends in that country at
once of their danger.
Our government has been expect
ing trouble in China for sometime.
and has been preparing for it. Only
day or two ago it sent two rag1.
ments and two batteries to the Phil
ippines, 50 as to have troops near at
hand If they should be needed. The
Chinese would like to drive all
foreigners out of their country. They
don't like the missionaries or the
traders. and they think that If this
country shuts out their laborers.
skilled and unSkiHed, they have a
right TO shut out foreigners. Of.
course. there is some justice in the
position they take, but it is a posi-
ton to which our government and
the governments Of Europe will
never agree. If China is wise she
win not permit a massacre. If she
does she may have to pay a much
greater indemnity than she did after
the Boxer uprising.

Theatrical Notes.

j. A. Coburn's Barlow Ministries
held the boards at the Gondran The
alter last Sunday night and put up a
show that was far and away the best
thing of it's kind ever presented ia
Donaldsonyille. The first part con-
sisted of pot-pourri of funny jokes,
witty sayings and catchy songs, both
sentimental and comic, Dan Hollis
Never No More, followed by "Some
Timen in response TO an enthusiastic
encore, being alone worth the price Of
admission, as the press agent would
say. The olio kept the audience in a
roar from beginning to end, and each
of the seven stunts presented was a
winner. Dan Holt, negro monologulst
and laugh producer, is in a class by
himself and has the happy faculty OF
being able to produce litter without
saying word. John Goss gave re-
markable exhibition of bone-playlng
and held the audience in a spell all
the time he was on the stage. Frank
T. Tinney, billed as 1.Paderewski' s
only rival, z is a pianist, comedian
and entertainer of wonderful ability,
and scored the hit of the evening.
Lively, the contortionist, the Devere
brothers, comedy aerobats, and Dun
levy and Calvin, adaneers, singers
and foolish foolicures, rounded out
the attractive program. Every seat
in the house was occupied, and it's
cinch the box Office man wasn't called
upon TO make good Manager Coburn's
offer of ssyour moneys worth or your
money back. =
s'His Reverence, - presented by the
Elite Stock Co., will be the attraction
at the Gondran Theater tomorrow
afternoon and night. and the ad-
vance sale of seats indicates that the
play will be witnessed by large audi
ences.
On Monday night s'In Atlantic
City,. a roIllcking musical comedy,
will hold the boards, and the fact that
the attraction is sponsored by tie re-
liable Dixie Amusement Company
ought TO. be sufficient assurance OF its
character and worth.
Billy Kersand' IS famous MINISTRIES
will appear at the Gondran Theater
next Sunday night, the 18th inst, and
it goes without saying that the seating
capacity of the house will prove mad
equate to accommodate the crowd.
The company numbers thirty-flve peo-
pie, including Prof. ames S. Laey,s
Challenge Cornet Band Of twenty
pieces, and is classed among the lead
ing minstrel organizations OF the pres
ent day. A band concert of choice
selections will be rendered in FROM of
the theater at 7:30 o'clock Sunday eve
ming, ana lovers of good music should
not fail to be on hand.
Jas. Won Lotten, the hustlIng young
proprietor of The Times, has assumed
the active management of the Gondran
Theater and will hereafter do the book
ing for the new playhouse in person.
Mr.. Won Lotten is no novice in the the
atrical business, having successfully
and satisfactorily managed the Phoe-
nix for several seasons, and the pubs
lie may rest assured hat the class of
