 Presbreys dramatization of Sir Gilbert Parkers most popular novel, which IS
 soon to be seen at the Jefferson, MT
 Presbrey has put on the stage a play that is far out of the ordinary, and which has proved as successful as did the novel
 The two principal characters, those Of
 Charley Steele and Joe Portugais, are among the most powerful characters in
 modern drama, and in the hands of Guy
 Standing and Theodore Roberts, co-stars
 of Klaw & Erlanger's production of the
 play, they stand out in clear relief and are living, breathing beings. and not the stage puppets usually seen. MT. Standing is the
 cynical, sneering, unbeleving steele to
 perfection, and MT Roberts Frencn- Canadian "habitant' is a distinct addi-
 tion to the types that have been depicted
 on the stage. The play closely follows the story which is too well known to re-
 uuire repetition, and the atmosphere Of
 the Canadian provinces and the unique and interesting characters have been re-
 tained in the dramatic version. The com pany is the same that presented the play successfully in New York and elsewhere last season.
 A very attractive folder is being sent
 out by the Askin- Singer company of Chi cago It is a reproduction of a most re- markable cartoon of scenes and charac- ters from "The Time, the Place and the Girl" drawn by an artist on the Philadel- phia North American, and first published in that paper during the recent run of this play in the city of Brotherly Love. No play that has been produced in New York this season got more complimentary criticisms than "The Prisoner of Zenda, " which forms part of the repertoire that James K. Hackett is appearing in this season.
 "The good, old, fine romantic drama. v writes William Bullock in the New York Press, will always live. and there is no better play of that class than The Pris- oner of Zenda.' It is to the romantic stage what The Three Musketeers' is to the romantic novel"
 MT. Hackett, supported by splendid company, will appear at the Jefferson the atre in "rhe Prisoner of Zenda' and Ihe Crisis" on Saturday, January ?. Denman Thompson's "The Old Home stead'' finds as warm a welcome from theatre-goers this season as ever, al- though this is the twenty-third success ful season of the grand old play.

STRANGE SILENCE At PEKIaG
PRESENCE OF AMERICAN SHIPS
AT Annoy IGNORED.
Newspapers Have Not Even An
nounced the Squadron's Arrival.
Foreign Board Not Notified.

PEKING, October I.-The presence of
the second squadron of the American bat
tleship fleet at Annoy, where the vessels
arrived yesterday, and where the men are
now being entertained by the Chinese gov
ernment. is hardly known in Peking.
The Chinese newspapers have said moth
ing at all about the visit, and the occur
renee is being completely ignored. both Of
ficially and otherwise, SO far as Peking
is concerned. This probably Is because
the festivities in connection with the
birthday of the empress dowager are CO.
incident with the entertainment of the Wis
iting Americans. The Japanese news
papers alone in Pekins have any intorma-
tion regarding the doings at Annoy. Up
to o'clock this evening the foreign board
had no news of the arrival of the war
ships and was still expecting their COM
ing. Neither had the American legation
received any news. The only member OF
the American legation at Annoy is Capt.
James II. Reeves. the military attache.
This silence is the more remarkable be-
cause the native press has during the
past few weeks given much space to pre-
mu.Sating the idea of an alliance with the
United States.

TROOPS FIRE ON MUT|NEERS
REBELLION AT TURKISH GAR
RISON QUICKLY PUT DOWN.
Soldiers Who Refused to Obey Or
ders Are Slain by Their
Comrades.

CONSTANTINOPLE, October 31.-A
threatened outbreak on the part of q
company of Turkish troops attached to
the garrison at Yildiz Kiosk was prompt
ly put down with q single volley from a
loyal battalion. Three Of the mutineers
were killed and fifteen wounded.
The mutinous spirit manifested itself
when the company was assembled, and
threatened for a few moments TO result In
serious trouble. But hurry order was
issued and battalion from a regiment
recently brought in from Saloniki was
marched to the scene and one volley suf-
feed to cove the mutineers.
The rebellious troops were under orders
to leave for the provinces. but they re-
fused to depart, withdrew to field near
the barracks and defied their officers.
The battalion from Saloniki, which was
drafted into the capital especially be-
cause the men are stanch supporters of
the constitution, was ordered to attack
the rebels. They fired one volley. with
the result above set forth, after which
the mutineers surrendered and were made
prisoners. Later they were drawn up on
the public square, tied together and ex-
hibited to the assembled troops as rebels
who had broken their military oath. This
prompt suppression is expected to have a
salutary effect on the remainder of the
YildiZ Kiosk garrison which is suspected
of being antagonistic to the constitution.

DIXIE VOTES PROMISED TAFT
DEMOCRATS IN ATLANTA ARE
PLEDGED TO HIM.
Richmond, Va, Will Give Big Bal.
lot for Republican Leader,
President Learns.

Lunsford L. Lewis. United States attor-
ney at Richmond. Va, paid his respects
to the President today. Referring to the
republican claim of possibly wiping out
the democratic majority in Virginia, Mr..
Lewis said:
Taft democrats in Richmond tell me
they will cast 1,5O0 to 1900 votes in that
city. The same proportion throughout
the state would make the result inter-
esting in Virginia.
Taft democrats in Atlanta have for
warded to the President resolutions
pledging the delivery 10 Taft there of a
large number of former Bryan votes. Re-
ports from the south reaching the Presi-
dent are that thousands of democrats will
vote for Taft in nearly all southern states.
Judge James z. Boyd of the United
Sta es district court at Gre ansboro. n. c.,
formerly assistant attorney general of
the Department of Justice, called on the
President.
Representative Cooper of Texas, a
democrat also paid his respects to the
President. He said he knows how Texas
will go, but does not care to predict as
to other parts of the country He is not
hopeful of Bryan'S election, however.
The long-fought question, whether the
Marine Band shall be allowed to accept
private engagements in competition with
civilian musicians. was again taken to
the White House today. The President
said he would have the matter looked into
and determined as quickly as possible.

that he direct the Navy Department to
dispose of the question without delay.
It is charged that the department has
been holding up the decision for a long
time under various pretexts, having
passed up to the Attorney eneral some
phases of the question.
The claim Of the union musicians is
that the naval appropriation bill OF the
last Congress prohibited naval bands COM
peting with civilian musicians when re-
ceiving pay therefor. 1t is contended that
this applied to the Marine Band. although

Won BUELOW TO KEEP OFFICE
KAISER REFUSES TO ACCEPT
HIS RESIGNATION.
German Chancellor Publishes q
Statement Refuting the Attacks
on the Emperor.

BERLIN, October 31.-According to the
Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, Prince
Won Buelow, the imperial chancellor to-
day offered his resignation to Emperor
William in consequence of the puolica-
tion in London of the interview with his
majesty for which the prince took re-
sponsibility. The emperor would not ac-
cept the chancellors resignation. and at
the same time permitted Prince Won Bue-
low to publish full explanation, SO as
to meet the unjustifiable attacks that
have beer made upon his majesty
Prince Won Buelows explanation in the
Nord Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung is as
follows:
"A great portion of the foreign and in
ternal press publ criticisms directed
against his majesty relative to the article
in the London Daily Telegraph. These
criticisms are founded on the assumption
tha, the emperor permitted the publica-
ton of the article without the previous
knowledge of the government authorities
responsible for the imperial policy. This
as sumption Is unfounded.'
The action of the chancellor was not
unexpected. He told the reichstag In
must be regarded as being dictated by
the necessities of the national interests o.
'he would not stay one day longer as
minister" and 1t was believed by many
that the utterances of the kaiser in his
recently published interview would prove
q case in point and call forth the chan
cellors resignation.
