ADJUSTMENTS.

"The Clansman," possibly the most
written about and talked of play of
recent years, was presented at the
Elks theater in this city again last
night, but the appearance of the COM
pany on that occasion did not create
such a stir as that which character
lied the initial performance in Pine
Bluff nearly two years ago. The pop
ularity of the play is on the decrease,
Judging from the audience, which
while not small was by no means
large. Like all productions that
sweep the country suddenly and re-

cetve the immediate, eager attention
Of theater goers, The Clansman'' is
Gradually taking its place among the
has beens'' in sections where It has
aeen seen before.
The company which appeared in
this city last night was as whole a
strong one, but there are roles in the
stirring drama which were taken by
more capable people in the past. Es-
Decially is this true of James J. Ryan
in the part Of The Governor of
South Carolina" His work was not
up to the standard heretofore estab-
lished and it can be plainly seen that
ne is entirely too larg a man for
the impersonation OF William Pit
Shrimp
Franlin Ritchie, who essays the
role Of '@Ben Cameron" the Clansman,
is a finished actor. He displayed his
fine dramatic training last night in
every act and while his heroism at
various climayes were literally ap-
plauded his work brought forth an
equal share of it. The part of GEL
sic Stoneman," so admirably taken by
Miss Eugenia Hayden, was excellent
ly carried out. She gets all to be
gotten out of the role as the daughter
Of the Abolitionist. Too much can
not be said of Barry Maxwell as
'fNelse," the old time darkey, and
Miss Maude Durand as "Eye," his
wife. The other members of the cast,
with one or two exceptions, acquitted
themselves we'll. The part OF Silas
Lynch, the mulattos lieutenant COVER
nor, is cleverly presented by Morti
mer Richie.
The appearance of "The Clansman'
here last night is said to be one of
the many farewell performances be-
ing advertised throughout the coun-
try just now, for it is stated that the
company will be taken to England
shortly. Everyone familiar with
books and plays knows well the story
of 1.-The Clansman. 1t pictures the
days when courage, self-sacrifice and
heroic deeds freed the South from the
sceptre OF the carpetbagger.

At THE ORPHEUM

"A Bachelors Honeymoon" which is
acknowledged to be not only the best
comedy produced here this season,
but one of the best ever presented in
the city is to be played again tonight
at the Orpheum. It was originally
announced that The Great Con-
spiracy'' would be the bill, but so many
requests have come for the repetition
of "A Bachelors Honeymoon" on a
Saturday night from people who can
not attend the theater on other nights,
that Manager Cooley decided to play
the farce. Everyone who saw 1t when
it was first produced will remember it
with pleasure and many of them will
undoubtedly be at the Orpheum tonight
to see it again.
Monday night THE Squaw Man is
to be played. This is a play that
needs no recommendation many HO-
nolulu people who have been in the
States in the past two years having
seen the original production in New
York or more recently in San Fran
cisco The story is a beautiful one
and the play is well suited to the com
pany now at the Orpheum. THE Squaw

pass into America. Thus, Count Haya-
shi also proposes to prohibit emigra-
ton to Mexico. The Foreign Minister
held that the Progressive party's at
tack on the governments emigration
policy is not well-defned, in considera-
ton of the valid treaty stipulations be-
tween Japan and America. Some par
ties emphasize the point that ten mill
lion yen accrue to the National Trea-
sury from emigrants, but the effects up.
America may Immediately involve a
loss of scores of million yen.
Director Ishii of the Commercial Blu
reau in the Foreign Office, being inter
viewed by a Jiyu Tsushin representa-
tive. said: 1t was about year ago
that Japan started negotiations con-
corning the commercial treaty with the
central American Government, but as
negotiations had to be carried on
through the hands of the Ministers in
Washington, delay was unavoidable.
Emigration to South America will be a
matter of difficulty unless permanent
settlers go who will engage themselves
in the cultivation of the land, but per-
manent settlers need capital, and I'M
der the present circumstances, such is
an impossibility. The only alternative
is that letters should save money so as
to acquire land for the purpose of the
permanent settlement The number or
Japanese emigrants to Hawaii has con-
siderably decreased, which fact viii!

of emigrants from Hawaii involves

application of law that had been IN
existence in Hawaii. Against the Anne
rican prohibition of emigrants who &c

prohibition of the same to those to and
from Hawaii, American territory, by
way of retaliation. 1t is a gross mis-.
take to state that the japanese gov,

of the time the contract is signed, and
to complete the job within the year
provided it is not delayed by drought
He states that he will install three
other pumps similar to the famous

for the fill. He has also located his
quarries from which rock will be Sc
cured for the stone work on the dam.

H. r. Spencer, the foreign represent

a two years absence in Japan. Mr.,
Spencer, when asked as to the com

Business is very good in Japan and
China today, the only trouble being
that it Is impossible to get goods fast
enough from home. There are great
chances in the Orient for Americans at
present, and | expect to see a large
number of new firms starting up very
shortly
"The flour business in the Far East
has increased enormously in the last
few years, and | expect to see it even

Japanese towards Americans, | can
honestly say that they hold US in the

Our party has established Demo-

has brought great credit to it, and
strengthened it's hands throughout the
Territory for the coming election. The
attitude of the party in reference to

and at no time has it been controlled
