ENTHUSIASTIC, AUDIENCE
y AT WALTERS RECITAL.
Tenth Production Meets With
Great Success.

A discriminating. audience, quite
large enough to prove that an enter
tainment which appeals to the intel
lect is not entirely ,decadent and
obsolete, gathered in Wallace Hall last
night to enjoy the recital given by
Augustus Walters.
1t was the tenth production of Mr..
Walters and proved no less interesting
than his former successful efforts to
entertain and instruct.
The program was chosen with an
intelligent discrimination. and pre-
scented a widely diverse array of selec-
tons. A fine test of versatility. and
quick adaptibility was demanded, and
Mr.. Walters proved admirably equal to
the task.
Possessing a stage presence of more
than ordinary charm he invested his
performance with an Elusive suggges-
ton of the days of Booth, Forrest and
Wallaek hat could. perhaps, be created
by no other without his natural at
tributes.
was perhaps the most noteworthy
number of the program. n was gfver
with a fine dramatic appreciation o.
the mad kings wrath and despair.
This was followed by AN amusing
sketch of Mark Twain's Jim Blaine's
Ram Story" demanding q change tt
man. who, as Mark Twain said, wa.
.'artistically. completely, symmetrical
" drunk" His Hooiser dialect was
excellent and not overdrawn.

TO END CHINESE LOAN DEADLOCK.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1s.-Secretary
of State Knox las made diplomatic
representations to Great Britain and
Germany in the hope of ending the
present deadlock in Chinese railroad
loan negotiations. For several months
the negotiations have been delayed by
a controversy between Great Britain
and Germany relative to their respec-
tive mileage in the proposed Hankow-
Sze-Chuan railroad. This is a collateral
isput and does not bear directly on
the loan negotiations.

all who have heard the sweet strains
from the violin. Whether Miss Rose plays
a simple melody or a classic selection and
she plays both delightfully."-. there is an
