David Belasco's use and mastery or
the science OF lightning effects on the
stage is said to be more clearly
shown in THE Girl Of the Golden
West in which he presents his own
company at the Academy OF Music

sunrise with the gill and the reform

to work out their destinies away
from old faces and cid associations.
When the curtain rises the time is
few minutes before dawn. The stage
is one black, unfathomable mass, the
only light being the flaming end of a
cigar in the mans mouth. Slowly
the darkness becomes fainter and
fainter, and then, gradually, but in a
burst Of glory that never fails to
evoke an outburst OF applause. the
sun rises over the tops of the Sierra

Szo. .thuen railroad loan Of S27.5O0, 900
Tho greatest rcticcnce is maintained
with respect TO the meetings held IL
London this week. 1t is understood,
however, that tho German and French
bankers came hore under the delusion
that tho Americans were prepared Ia
accept a compromise. They found,
however. that the Americans insisted
on the acceptance of the state depart
mont s terms, and the breaking off of
negotiations was only prevented at the
suggestion, made by the continental
representatives, that they be given
timo to consult with their respective
governments, after which further meet
iugs would be held in Paris and Berlin
If necessary. IT is certain that the
Americans will not rccede from their
stand taken at the London meeting, and,
If necessary, will insist that China
shall not sign the loan agreement until
the American claim is recognized.
