Smith L3 .2 Dowell gives a strong and thoroughly in- telligent rendering of the part of the noble Roman, and Miss Stone is fairly sufficient as Cleopatra. The scenery is notably good, in particular the storm scene being worthy of generous praise. Following “Cleopatra” comes another Sardou drama, with M MacDowell as Scarpia. Like “Cleopatra, the latter will probably excel the Bern- hardt production of the play so far as settings are concerned, as elaborate CLEVER CALIFORNIA ACTRESS WHO WON LAURELS FOR HER- SELF IN THE EAST. TTA BUTLER, the clever actress, is once again in this city, having arrived here last Sunday night direct from New York City to rest for a few weekss Miss Butler has only been on the stage a few years, but her talent has won for her an enviable position in her profession. She made her first public appearance in this city at a benefit given by the Press Club and scored an instantaneous hit. Her subsequent tour of the vaudeville circuit cansed the young actress to receive flat- tering offers from leading Eastern man- agers. In vaudeville Miss Butler gave a number of impersonations of well known actresses and everywhere she was the re- ciplent of laudatory criticism. On April 17 of this year Miss Butler ap- peared at the Herald Square Theater in New York City in “The Prima Donna,” L written by Harry B. Smith and Aime Lachaume. Although the company was composed of Gotham favorites, Miss But- ler captured the honors of the comic opera and the critics devoted considerable space to reviewing the performance. The young_ac ., who is the daughter of John Butler, the well known boniface of this city, will appear in New York this year in_an opera now being written for her by Harry B. Smith of “Robin Hood" ame. . . The Columbia Theater has a brilliant traction this week in Oscar Wilde's “The Importance of Being Earnest.” The fantasy is delighting the large audiences with its inverted wit and wisdom and polished rendering. Henry Milier as Worthing is fitted with a thoroughly con- genial part. and the other principal char- acters are played with full appreciation of their possibilities by Mr. Cherry, Florence Rockwell, Grace Elliston, Jennie Eustace, Laura Clement and Fred Nome. The entr'acte programmes are something of an innovation and a very pleasant one at that. Homer Henley and a good chorus are giving nightly solo and choral selec- tions (this week drawn from the works of Wagner) to the accompaniment of organ and orchestra. “D’Arcy of the Guards,” the new Miller production, is in active preparation, 7w “Cleopatra,” at the Grand Opera house, with Melbourne MacDowell as Antony, and Florence Stone in the title role, is pieasing large cudien Melbourne M L o i o B e e e S GHINA AGGEPT3 POWERS DEMAND Willing to Pay Interest Pending the Final Settlement.

At headquarters to-day it was an- nounced that the embarkation of the German troops will begin on June 2. Phe German guards were withdrawn from several gates to-day, and the gov- ernment of the city passed into the Chi- nese hands. Li Hung Chang says he is prepared to accept the responsibility for the city mow, but for tne province he wants a delay of slx weeks.

Another transport will arrive to-day to take the Beluch regiment to Weihaiwel. General Voyron, the French commander, expects now that the evacuation has been de-- cided upon that France will countermand the order holding her troops temporarily in China. He anticipates the early ar- rival of French transports. General Lorne-Campbell, the British commander here, says the international situation at Tientsin is better than at any time since the arrival of the troops, though upon the departure of the Amer- jcans the Russians objected to the British holsting thelr flags on a bridge when the American flag was taken down. But Gen- eral Wogack, the Russian commander, withdrew his objections, WASHINGTON, May 20.~The Depart- ment of Btate has been Informed reliably that the Chinese Government has issued u decree agreeing to pay an indemnity of 450,000,000 taels, equvalent to about - 000,000 at the present rate of exchange, It 18 known now that the whole subject of indemnity will be closed up before the end of the present month.

After learning that the woman was under arrest he slipped a $10 #old plece into Rice's hand, #0 it is charged. The woman was then released, and as she left the scene she was warned to keep her mouth closed. A few minutes later the patrol wagon arouse suspicion. selzed a drunken man who was standing in the crowd and hustled him into the waiting vehicle, “Charge him with drunkenness,” manded Reade, addressing the pol who was in charge of the wagon. t Twen- ty-four hours in jail will do him good."

Condemns Partisan Politics. To the most casual observer it must be ap- parent_ that partisan politics has mo place in city aftairs. City government is business, not Doiftics. In the creation and adoption of the present charter of San Francisco, it was in- tended and expected that, by having munielpal elections entirely separaie from State or na- fional elections, questions relating to partisan polities would be wholly removed. It should be the constant aim of the Merchants' Asso- olation to bring about this desirable resuit. Lot us eliminate from local elections all ref- erence to Federal issues, and confine our at- tention to the equally momentous matters of strictly municipal concern, It has always been a fundamental principle of our organization to co-operate with instead of merely. criticizing municipul and State legls- lative and executive —officials. Often their dutfes are complex and onerous and under our institutions must be discharged without pre- vious preparation or —experience. = Sometimes errors are unavoidable and due allowance Whould ba made, At all events, our sugges- fiong or criticisms can be offered in a charit- able and friendly spirit.

Yiafiord boarded a car and the unknown, who was there with bells on, also swung on to the car. On arriving at the club Stafford remained about half an hour, and on emerging his unknown shadow was there waiting for him. Day after day Stafford was feilowed by this mysterious man, and by all his friends to whom he confided his story no advice was given nor were they able to assist him unravel the m%:‘:t?r’dny morning Stafford left his house about 8 o'clock to go to business, and there was his shadow ready to escort him to the office. Stafford looked up and down his_residence block on Broderick street, and seeing that no one was aroung he addressed the sleuth. “Why do you follow me all the time? asked Stafford. ‘‘What is your motive? The man refused to explain his actions. Stafford decided that there was no time like the present to settle the matter. He Junded a viclous right on the jaw of his reticent and mysterfous shadow and fol- lowed it up with other punches. When Stafford had completed the work the shadow's face was blacker than that of any of the workmen employed in the coul yard.
