LONDON, Oct. 28.—The pertinacity with | which soclety discusses the rumors re- 2 health of King Edward has s effect on tne court dress- | cpected o have been ere ly engaged on the eourt dresses. are keeping large staffs in almost | ete idleness. The members of so- | ¥ have apparently made up their | minds that they will not go to any ex- e until they are sure that the cor- onation will really occur. There is a very 3 defined impression in the diplo- corps that the King is threatened some organic confplaint. Some go it Is cancer, or Bright's Probably the truer so- he cancer rumor springs from the King's oft-expressed dread of er, which has made such ravages in own family, and that whatever ail- t may threaten him it has_ not ched any definite or dangerous stage, elsc he would be quite unable to keep up his incessant round-of public duties and private pastimes with the regularity and zest which he continues to display. in spite of these facts, there is undoubt- | : very alarming premonition in court | o} es, especially among women, that the | | King will never live to be crowned, which, however baseless, is having eeri- | ous eifect on trade. The favorite story | in this connection now current is that a The; compl matic with palmist told Queen Alexandra not long ago that she would never live to be crowned.

MANCHESTER, Oct. 28.—The Guardian prints a letter, dated August 15, written by Steyn, ex-President of the Orangs Free State, to General Lord Kitchener. commanding the British forces in South Africa, discussing the military situation. The letter is too long to quote textually, but in it Steyn says in the Free Statc “order and peace are maintained by us, and not by your Excellency. If your Ex- | cellency will permit me, your Excellency's | jurisdiction extends only as far as your Excellency’s cannon can reach. If it is a crime to fight in self-defense, and if such crime miust be punished, then I think his Majesty's Government ought to be satisfied with the destruction of the cous- try, the chastisement of women and chil- dren, and the gereral misery which has been caused by this war.” Steyn deals with the misery of the con- centration camps. He states that a great | majority of the fighting Boers are still in arms, and gives it as his opinion it is in Kitchener's power more than that of | any other man to make an end of the war, He concludes by declaring the Boers ask for no magnanimity, but only demand justice. PARIS, Oct. 25.—Georges Berry will shortly propose to the Chamber of Depu- ties a resolution declaring “the Chamber calls upon the Government to consider in | concert with other nations the adoption | of practical means to obtain from Great | Britain the removal-of women and chil- | dren and old men from the concentration camps in South Africa to salubrious, neu- tralized territories.” i 8D ol GEORGE DIXON LOSES FIGHT WITH ATTELL Referee Siler Gives the Decision to the Former San Francisco | Boy. | ST.

The milling was | tame throughout, the blows of both prin- | cipals lacking steam. There was a_great | deal of clinching in every round. The de- | cision was displeasing to the majority of the sg)eclalors, who were of the opinion that - Dixon was entitled to a draw at | least. The boys fought at 116 pounds. —_—— | Matty Matthews Defeats Couhig.

DIRECTOR PAUL STEINDORFF GIVEN - SPLENDID TESTIMONIAL AT TIVOLI| TWD FORFIENERS Operatic Stars Appear at Their Best--Walter Perkins Arouses Mirth at Grand---“Sporting Life” at California Ddes Good Business---Orpheum’s Attractions Are of the Best---Alcazar and Central Present P IC Lrerran BoRKHART AUL STEINDORFF will swing a new baton hereaftef. It-was pre- sented to him last night by the ‘ members of the Italian Opera, Company as a token of apprecia- tion of his painstaking efforts as a leader and his gentlemanly treatment of all with whom his professien brought him into contact. For his testimonial the company offered a splendid bill ‘and the house was jammed to hear it. It was such a house as singers love—warm, generous, appre- ciative and enthusiastic—and it was no wonder that the singers did their best, inspired by the cordiality of the greeting bestowed upon them. Encores upon en- cores were there and. everybody was bravoed. The house was in touch with the stage—united by the mystic tie of the brotherhood of song. Collamarini ap- peared in two numbers, as Azucena in act five of “Trovatore” and as Delilah in the duet scene from the second act of “Sam- son and Delilah,” in.the latter of which she exhibited her talents as a lyric ac- tress to the delight of the audience. The great Salassa gave everybody a pleasant surprise when his name appeared on the bills for the popular prologue from *“I Pagliacci,” and he.sang it as was ex- pected—with consummate art and deli- cacy of expression. Dado’s magnificent basso was heard in the Jordan scene from *“Nabucco,” and he was ably supported by the well- trained chorus. Barbareschi as Leonora in “Trovatore” was never in better voice, and Signorina Lia Pollettini sang ‘O Mio Fernando,” felicitously displaying to ad- vantage her rich mellow tones. Agostini, ever popular, rendered ‘‘Spirito Gentile” from “Favorita’ in his best vein. Fer- rari as the Count ‘di Luna and Castel- lano as Manrico won many plaudits for the spirit with which they sang and acted. v The orchestral selections under Mr. Steindorff’s lendershifl were the prelude to act third of ‘‘Lohengrin,”” and the overture from “Tannhauser,” with a full orcnestra, violins predominating. These Selections took the house by .storm, for they appealed forcibly to the _artistic sense of every lover of music. The peo- le stood up and cheered again when %arbueschl and Ferrari walked upon the stage and presented Mr. Steindorff with an elegant baton and @ piece of silver. Then tiere were flowers enough to fill an express wagon. ‘he cloging number was act two of “Lucia_gdi Lammermoor,”’ in which Re- etto, Russo, Ferrari, Cortesi, Nicolini, apoleoni and Sannie Kruger appeared. The' popular sextet and chorus were re- peated in response to.a wildly enthusias- tic demand. It was.a night.not soon to forgotten by the sons and daughters of SODE. i Alcazar. The revival of “Tennessee’s Pardner,” with its quaint hulor-and pathos, was greeted by a crowded house at the Al- cazar Theater last night. There is some- thing so wholesome in- the lesson it teaches that it will.always be popular. During some. of the scenes women were | moved to tears and-a good many of the sterner sex were visibly affected, particu® larly when Caleb Swan tells Tennessee of the deal Aoce s RAanxkewn —np Froank Baceom~ | IN CTENNESSESS PARDNER opular Pieces ad AND ONE OF THE STARS AT THE TWO MEMBERS OF THE ALCAZAR COMPANY, THE LEADING MAN OF THE “MAN FROM INDIA” COMPANY AT THE GRAND OPERA-HOUSE — - lover, “Cap"” Sheath, stabbed in the back by the villain, Bart Foxwell, was lying in the snow. To save him it was necessary to stop an approaching train. She stopped the train by grasping the arm of a wind- mill and rlding to 2 dissy height. bansing at arm’s length, from which she signales the train with a lantern. The show is a good one, being replete with incidents calculated to cause the Central Theater audiences to bestow long and vigorous applause. It is well staged, the blizzard scene being .so realistic that every one in the house shivered. Oza Waldrop is.a clever actress, and as Nub- bins won- frequent applause, Margarcl Marshal as Stella Cross satisfled the audi- ence, and Willard Blackmore's *“Cap” Sheath was cleverly done. Stanley Ross as Bart Foxhall made a gapital villain, Orpheum, Lillian Burkhart and her clever assist- ants, James R. Garey and Oscar Norfleet, presented “The Way to Win a Husband” to a packed house at the Orpheum last night. Miss Burkhart is always a San Francisco favorite, and the way that she was greeted proves that her claim to the title of America’s leading vaudeville actress is based on fact. The playlet is different from anything that she has ever done here before and displays her great versatility. The Leslie brothers, Aus- trallan musical comedians, are entertain- ing, and Harris and Walters present a screamingly amising skit. ‘“Miyo San,” a dainty Japanese operetta, is a distinct novelty, and the Beaux and Belles appear to much better advantage this week than last. Mignonette Kokin, the eccentrique; | Francis Le Page, the jumper; John Geiger, the violin humorist, and new views on the biograph completed an ex- cellent programme. Figcher’s Concert House. The Geissler Hirschhorn Tyrolean sing- ers carried off the honors at Fischer's Concert House last night. C),u'lsty and ) ORPHEUM. er Hay, that magnificent liar, and his wife. In the part of Tennessee Kent, Agnes Ranken achieved an unqualified success. She is a bright, clever girl and was the life and soul of the piece. There was nothing overdone in her rendition of the part, which was portrayed with life- like fidelity and ingenuousness. M. L. Al sop as Caleb Swan, the ‘legitimate and high-toned card player,” was admirable, and Howard Scott was, as usual, excellent as Asa Bice, the “pardner.” Frank Bacon was simply immense as Gewilliker Hay and made a decided hit. He seems to revel | in the part. The other characters were ably sustained by Miss Lillian Elliott, as Nettie Bice; Miss Marie Howe, as Mrs. Hay; Paul Gerson, as Tom Romaine; Barton Hill, as Spike, and Carlyle Moore, as Amos Barlow. The plece Is well staged. California. “‘Sporting Life,” at the California, was greeted with a good house -at its second appearance last night. more than ordinarily realistic and abounds in thrilling situations, including a horse race and a prize fight. Lillian Thompson is easily the best of the cast and draws forth much deserved applause. Lorimer Johnstone, the hero, and John T, Dwyer, the villain, are both well adapted to their parts and add to the strength of the performance.. Some of the climaxes in the play seem a little forced, but the cast is a good one and the trifling detrac- tions are readily forgotten in the rapidity | of ‘the action and ‘the abundance of re- deeming features. Columbia. Stuart Robson in *“The Henrietta” is still attracting large audiences at the Columbia. Robson in the part of Bertie the Lamb still brings to it the tender care and splendid art that has made it what it is and which Is going to make it in years o come one of the great memories of the modern American stage. “The Henrietta will continue throughout the weekK. On Monday evening Mrs. Sarah Cowell Le Moyne will make her initial appearance in this clg’ in Charles Henry Meltzer's new_ historical play, “The First Duchess of Marlberough.” Grand Opera-House. ‘Walter E. Perkins in the farcical com- edy, “My Friend From India,” kept a large audience in convulsions of laughter last night at the Grand Opera-house. The iece is one of the best ever written by u Souchet, replete as it is with funny situations and comical climaxes. Perkins, who is irresistible in his humor, was in every way equal to the exacting part of A. Keen Shaver, a supposed student of theosophy, and at no time was he gulilty of overacting. Perkins'is one of the few really funny comedians on the siage and scored heavily in the plece. Principal among his support was Fred J. Butler, who, as Erastus Underholt, a retired pork- packer, ran a close second with Perkins in_ the 'estimation of the audience. Her- schel Mayall, Gilbert Gardner and William Bernard were also effective in their sev- eral parts. Laura Nelson Hall was sweet and dainty as Marion Hayste and the other feminine characters _were well filayed by Agnes Maynard, Mabel Gra- am, Caroline Cooke and Alfa P . As a medium to drive away the blues “My Friend from India” is a success. 3 Central.

The sale of season tickets for the three recitals to be given by Walter Damrosch at the Califronia Theater on November 5, 7 and 12 began yesterday morning. When the box-office opened the spacious theater lobby was crowded with tickei- buyers, and throughout the day the sale | continued unusually brisk. Thus far it is much the best sale that has ever resuited for a Damrosch recital. On Thursd; morning, providing the supply has not | been exhausted by that ‘time, tickets for single recitals will- be piaced on sale. The recitals will be_explanatory of the ncw Wagner operas to be produced here dur- ing the forthcoming grand opera season. _— On Trial for His Life. SAN JOSE, Oct. 28.—The work of swear- ing a jury to try Nolberto Coronado, who is charged with having on August 26 way- laid and assassinated Frank Narona near Almaden, began in Judge Lorigan’s de- partment of the Superior Court to-day. The crime was a brutal one. Narona had borrowed a horse of Coronado to come to San Jose to collect some money due him. As he was returning home at night Coronado, it is alleged, shot him from ambush. A boy, who was accom- panying Narona-on foot, was the only witness. The murderer pursued this lad for some distance. i R Bohn Gives Up the Fight. ‘SAN DIEGO, Oct. 28.-The habeas cor- pus proceedings instituted by John J.

Threatened With Loaded Rifles and Bayonets Out- side Russian Lines. ‘WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—The incoming mail from the East has brought to the Navy Department a number of Chinese newspapers which contain the news of what is termed an ‘“outrage” upon an American citizen, and also a British citi- zen, employed by the lumber firm of Bush Bros. at Niuchwang. It is said that these two men, whose names are not given, were arrested illegally and threatemed with loaded rifles and bayonets by a party of Cossacks outside the Russian Ifnes at Niuchwang on the 12th of August last, and that both the British and the American Consuls at Niuchwang have been making ergtomus representations upon the sub- ect. The State Department has received from Minister Conger at Peking a translation of a series of preliminary regulations adopted by the recently organized Chi- nese board of national administration, charged with the reorganization of that Government on modern and efficient lines. The seatiments expressed are conserva- tive, says Conger, and it is made plain that there is no intention to imitate the too brisk pace set by the reformers of 1898, but instead to study Western meth- ods, and, without adopting Western civ- ilization as a whole, to adapt to Chinese conditions such institutions as seem. likely to add strength to the state. STANFORDWIO BRING AN ARMY OF “ROOTERS” Red Hats and Leathern Lungs Will Be Prominent at the Foot- ball Game. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct. 28.— Strenuous efforts are being made to have Stanford represented at the intercollegi- ate game on November 9 by the largest organized force of ‘rooters™ that has ever represented the cardinal. Six hundred seats for the game, to be sold to ‘rooters” only, will be placed on sale in the campus Thursday, and it is expected that every.one will be occupied the day of the game by a Stanford man with a red hat and leathern lungs.

Five Thousand Dollar Bond Is Discovered by Trustee Staats. AP S BERKELEY, Oct. 28.—Attorney A. E.

Attorney Boiton, who represents the receiver for the road, ten- dered’ a check for $999 97 in payment of the delinquent taxes for the last five years and also cffered a resolution for the board’s condideration undoing the work of last week. Some discussion Was provoked over the final clause of the resolution, which pro- vided that the Town Trustees waived all right to declare forfeited the franchise for failure to run the trains at least once in six months. However, the board was about to_accept the proposition when Trustee Staats suggested looking up the old franchise ordinance and its production developed the, fact that that document contained a clause fixing a penalty of $5000 for non-conformity to the conditions. Staats discovered that a bond for had been put up years ago by the railroad company as an assurance of good faith and he wanted the board to make an effort to get at the subscribers to the in- strument. Finally the whole matter was left In the hands of Presideht Marston and Town Attorney Hayne. JUDGE STETSON HELPS TO PAY WEDDING FEE Costs Twice as Much to Marry in California as It Does in Ohio.
