S AKLAND, Oct. 31L,—The Mac- donough Theater was reopened to-night after having been closed during the greater part of the present year. The people of Oak- land showed an Inclination to give the new management of the theater a wel- come and they turned out in such num- bers that the entire theater was filled. Not a seat was to be .had in any part of the house when the curtain went up. C. P. Hall, lessee of the new theater, and L. Henry, who is associated with him, were present at the opening. Mr. Henry has been in the city for several days mak- ing the preliminary arrangements. Mr. Hall arrived this morning from Fresno. For_the local management Guy C. Smith of Oakland has been selected. Mr. Smith has been connected with the Macdonough Theater in various capacities since it was first opened and is thoroughly familiar with the local situation. Mr. Henry will have general charge of the Macdonough and Mr. Hall will divide his time between PLAGUE INVADES BLASGOW HOTEL Three Cases of the Dis- ease Discovered in the City. Special Dispatch to The Call. 1 GLASGOW, Oct. 31.—The bubonic plague has reappeared here. Four persons sus- pected to be suffering from the disease were lately removed from the Central | Station Hotel. Subsequently three were certified to have the plague and one died. The hotel has been closed. LIVERPOOL, Oct. 3L—Owing to the precautions that have been taken against the spread of the plague here the Con- suls have not vet recommended shipping restrictions. The American Consul, after communication with Washington, says that American ports are not likely to bar passengers from Liverpool. BORDEAUX, Oct. 3L—Ministerial- in- structions have been received to disinfect all vessels arriving at Bordeaux from Liv- e ol. FASHINGTON, Oct. 3L.—The United States Consul at Liverpool has cabled t the State Department that two cases of bubonic plague and some other suspicious cases have developed in a hospital in Liv- erpool. The facts were communicated to the marine hospital service. Surgeon General Wyman has cabled Past Assist- ant Surgeon Thomas, who did similar work in the outbreak at Glasgow some months ago, to proceed to Liverpool and investigate the outbreak and keep this Government advised of the situation. This is the first outbreak of Fl:gue in Liverpool in the recollection of the au- thorities here. No immediate danger to TUnited States ports is apprehended, al- though there will be a much more rigor- ous examination of incoming vessels and passéngers from Liverpool by the health authorities than heretofore. The offitial reports received here do not indicate if the casés are of a violent type. NEW YORK, Oct. 31.—Dr. Doty, health officer of the port of New York, is not alarmed over the fact that Liverpool has been declared a plague infected port by the Itallan and French governments. He sald to-day that New York's health is in no way threatened. He explained that Liverpo has only two authenticated cases of the bubenic plague, and these were conveyed there m another port, being taken at once on their arrival to th n{olpltll, so that the general public is in no sense involved.

It is probable that Oakland will be the home house for the circuit controlled by these gentlemen. 0 The people of Oakland to-night proved themselves ready $o give encouragement to the new mapagement should they profit by the mistakés that have been made with the Macdonough in the past. The people of Oakland are ready and anxlous to patronize their theater at home if the proper encouragement is given them, but there is no community that can let a theatrical attraction so xhumu{hly alone as can the people of Oakland if they feel g0 inclined. This has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of several managers, some of whom made successes and others who daid not. The opening night was certainly all that could be desired in point of numbers. The play, “In Old Kentucky,” has been pre- sented in Oakland before and has always proved popular. Two more performances will be given Friday and Saturday even- ings, but there will be no matinee. IRE ENLIVENS THE GONGRESS: Delegates to the Pan- American in Exciting | Debate. '1 CITY OF MEXICO, Oct, 31.—The Pan- American Congress has received from the Spanish colony at Buenos Ayres a cable- gram congratulating it upon the senti- ments favorable to Spain expressed by General Rafael Reves, delegate of Colom- bia at the municipal banquet. The session this morning, which flnally resulted in the admission of the members of the press to the sessions of the confer- ence, was very interesting. The first prop- osition submitted was that of Peru, whose delegates asked that as many of the press representatives as the hall would hold be admitted, their number being left to the discretion of the conference. This propo- sition was rejected by the votes of Chile Colombia, Uruguay, the United State Megico, Brazil, Haytl, Guatemala, Hon- Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica—twelve votes against seven. The next proposition, presented by Chile, differing slightly from that of Peru. | was taken up. It had been expected that Peru_and its allies would vote against Chile’s proposition, which, united to the votes of the delegates hostile to the ad-, mission of the press in any form, would have defeated it, thus excluding newspa- per representatives. However, Senor Al- zamora, for Peru, supported Chile's pro- posal, saying, ‘“We consider principle, not persons.” Senor Carbo of Ecuador jumped to his feet and said that the last expression was a reflection upon the other delegations and called on_ Alzamora to withdraw words. Alzamora declined, andl the inci- | dent was assuming a somewhat threaten- | ing character when the president of the congress, Senor Raigosora, intervened, | saying that he saw nothing censurable in Alzamora’s words. i Chile's pi owing to the action of | Peru, was adopted. There are those he: however, who say that Chile's rezl object | was to defeat the admission of the press, and that Peru's stand was a great sur- prise to Chilg.

In his endcavor to prevent the cscap of three rowdies who had created a di. turbance at the Olympia theater last nig: during the performance, Special Officar Tobin fired a ‘shot down Mason street, which at the time was crowded with peo- ple. The bullet struck Paul Manning ‘m the right foot, cutting his shoe, but ia fileting only a superficial wound. Owing to the crowded condition of Mason streel. the special officer was severely censured for so recklessly using his gun. The shot occasioned great confusion and many wo- men were badly frightened. The trouble grew out of a refusal of the three rowdles to take seats when reques- ed to do so by Officer Tobin. Instead of complying with his request, the special officer clalms, one of the men drew a policeman’s club and struck him a blow on the neck, after which the three made an effort to escape. Tobin followed thex to the door and just as they were éross- ing Mason street he fired a shot at one of them. The three mien fled through the Owl raloon and escaped by climbing a fence in_the rear. - Tobin, who is a son of Police Sergeant Tobin, claims that he recoznized the men and says that he will swear out a war- rant for their arrest to-day. —_—— e INSURANCE MEN FLY WITH ANOTHER'S BUGGY Dewey, - Alias Smith, and Wester, Alias Brown, Languish Within the County Jail. OAKLAND, Oct. 31.—Two well dressed men, who gave the names of Jake Smith and David Brown. but afterward admit- ted that their proper names were Dewey and Wester, ran away with another man’s buggy out on the county road, near | High street, and are now in the County Jail for the offense under $2000 bonds. The men were in a saloon seliciting in- | surance. when they saw the buggy stand- ing In_the road and made a rush for it, intending to have a little lark. Deputy Sheriff Quinlan's attention was called to the men and, jumping into another bor- rowed buggy, he overhauled them. Dewey showed fight. while Wester ran away. Ry the time the fight ended Quinlan had his man pretty well used up and some one else captured Wester, who could rot run very fast. Justice Larue heid the men for grand larceny and fixed the bail at an uncomfortabie figure for them. —_—————— Thirty Dresden scuiptors have entered protest_agairst the policy of spending marks assigned by the city for the annual purchase of statuary onthe works of forelgners.
