George Wyndham, Chief Secretary for Ireland. came specially from Dublin to inform the Ministers regarding the conditions in tha part of the kingdom, while A. J. Balfou the st Lord of the congidered an expert in the management of Irish affairs, had sufficiently recovered from his attack of influenza to be present and advise his colleagues, from his own experience, as to what he considered best to be done. The Jeading Nationalists affect indiffer ence as to the Government's action. They declare that If the Cabinet decides to sup: press the United Irish League the Govs ernment must carry the matter to a log- jcal conclusion and abolish all represen- tative government in Ireland. Nothing was known in the House ot Commons up to 5:30 p. m. of the results of the Cabinet meeting. John Redmond and other Irish leaders had expected in- formation on the subject, but they re. ceived no intimation as to what took place.

La Motte, superintendent of the California Northwestern Rallway's flsh spawning station at the outlet three miles north of here, “the water rose over the top of ! my fish trap, fully ten feet above its pres- ent level. Twice during the month furi- ous gales dashed driftwood against the picket and woven-wire fence of which the trap is constructed, tearing down long sections of the inclosure. The result was the escape of an immense gchool of steei- head salmon, which I had impounded for the purpose of securing their eggs for our fieh .hatchery in Ukiah. Two years ago 1 obtained more than 1,000,000 eggs of this varjety, but so far this season I have not got more than a quarter of that number.” csadtsid MAY HAVE LOST LIFE IN THE TEXAS WRECK REDDING, March 11.—There is a grow- ing fear that Walter Saunders, a well known citizen of Redding, was killed in the Texas train wreck of last Saturday.

BILFOUR HELPS (SWEET-VOIGED BIRLS TO SING Will Hold Grand Benefit * for St. Dominic’s Church. Gifted Young Choristers to Render Operatic Har- monies. The lovers of sweet music and the patrons of the good old plantation melo- dies of the South have a great treat in store for them on the night of April 1, Choral Union of St. Dominic’s Church will give a performance at the Al- hambra Theater for the benefit of the - church. The benefit promises to be an unprecedented success, as the gifted little singers with their sweet voices have already won an env: able reputation and there is a great de- sire to hear them. They have frequently | appeared in their own parish and have | surprised the people of Benicla and Val- lejo with their precocious talent, but this will be the first occasion on which they have sung for the whole city. "The choir and choral union consists of sixty well trained juveniles of St. Dom- inic’s congregation. They have been care- fully trained and rehearsed by Rev. Father J. 8. Jones, O. P., in that beauti- ful opera by Balfe, “The Bohemian Girl,” until it is remarkable how ex- quisitely they render, the music of the great master. They make no mistakes, there is no embarrassing ° breaks or pauses, and the little ones sing the beau- tiful music apparently without an effort. Those who have heard the children sing —the girls rendering 'in perfect harmony and soul-thrilling strains the great lyric and romantic opera, and the boys, with a double quartet and a full chorus, inter- preting the good old tunes of the darky Southland—are unstinted in their praisc. The lovers of music and even the most austere critics have witnessed with pleas ure, surprise and admiration the splen- did performances given by the little girls, but a_ further agreeable surprise awalts them in the two-act song and conundrum show to be fxqen in character by a care- fully picked ‘troupe of seventeen boys ranging from the age of 12 to 15 years during the intermissions of ,the opera. 'he boys are all good singers and are de- iermined to surprise the girls. They have been under the instruction of the Rev. Father J. R. Newell, O. P. The singing of little Albertina Meyer- hoffer, who is scarcely more than five years of age, shows all the intelligence of a prima donna.’ During the rendition of the opera at Franklin Hall on the night of December 19 last the audience was roused into ecstacles by the singing and dancing of this little girl. The other girls who will take part in the opera are: Margaret Olsen, in the role of Count Arn- hefm; Kathryn Barry, Thaddeus; Kathleen Roche, Florengtein: Miss Dolly Roche, Devils- hoof; Frances Crowe, captain of the guard; Birdie McKeon, officer of the guard; Edna Walsh, Arline, and May Bird, Queen of the Gypsies. The little boys who will render the darky songs in style stich as to bring a smile of content to the shade of Billy Emerson are as follows: Joe Eagen, middleman or interlocutor; Loufs Lagan, left endman (Pompey), with the bones: Tommy KEagen, right endman (Caesar), with tambourine; James McCashin, Willle Lagar, Fd Cassidy, Bernard Eagen, Willle Lewls, Johnby Mcieon, Artie Olsen, Ed McKenna, Tom Kenny, James McKenna, Ray Whitaker, Augustine Donavan, Charlle Daniels and Willie Gaven. FISK CONCERT IS MARRED BY LATE ARRIVALS If Mrs. Katharine Fisk should leave San Francisco with ideas the reverse of complimentary of the San Francisco audience, it could hardly surprise, after the discourteous treatment to which she was subjected last night at Sherman & Clay Hall, on her first appearance here. The programme began nearer half past than quarter past eight, but even then there were many late comers, and the singer was kept standing for some pain- ful’moments while these were being seat- ed. The management, that went so com- mendably far as to refuse admission dur- ing the numbers, will doubtless see to it that Mrs. Fisk, and most of her audience, are not annoyed again in like manner. Mrs. Fisk has the happiness to be a singer who can sing. She is one of the | most roundly gifted vocalists that have ‘been heard here, with every kind of com- petence for her art. With a deep, smooth, rich and exquisitely-used voice, strong dramatic temperament and large intelli- gence, the singer presents a programme of amazing variety with an altogether ex- ceptional satisfaction to her audlence. She phrases beautifully and delightfully. Her enunciation is a model of the arf and she has style—lots of it. Perhaps Mrs. Fisk was at her best in the three arias from “Samson and Delilah,” where her dramatic tendencies are allowed full play. But when the charming interpreta- tions of the French ballads, “L’Esclare,” “The Silver Ring,”” are remembered, then it seems as if the singer were happlest in these. The Schubert, “Der Tod' und das Madchen,” was also beautifully given and the Hollaender ‘““Winternacht.” A pleasing feature of the programme was the introduction of a song by a voung local composer, E. A. Bruguiere, a quaint and clever effort, entitled “The Gardener and the Rose.” The song was re- There will be thrée more con- Friday certs on Thursday afternoon, evening and Saturday afternoon. —_——————— Barbers Have a Fight.

SANTA BARBARA, March 11.—The at- tack by the Rev. Aquilla Webb on Sun- day night from the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church of Los Angeles upon Blanche Walsh’s new play, “La Made- leine,” has aroused the indignation of the actress. The reverend gentleman in the course of his sermon characterized the play as immoral and indecent and re- marked that it was “damned from start to finish by the author.” As the play_is from the pen of the Californian, H. J. W. Dam, . the pastor ventured upon a some- ‘whnat profane pun when he made this re- mark. “It is ridiculous to call ‘La Madelein~" immoral,” said Miss Walsh to-day. “Why, there is'no play upon the boards thaf teaches a greater lesson. It was Mr, Dam’s object to write a play that should show the struggles and sacrifices a woman has to make to redeem herseif from an evil life and obtain salvation. I have been looking for years for just such a play, with a character strongly drawn and powerful and a theme that tells of a grand and noble sacrifice—something like that of Sidney Carton in Dickens’ ‘Tale of Two Cities.” I have found that play in ‘La Madeleine.’ The sentiment of the play is deeply moral and the lesson taught is a good one. “Possibly the Rev. Aguilla Webb would have been benefited had he seen ‘La Mad- eleine’ and known whereof he spoke. If his sermon had come from actual knowl- edge and not irom hearsay, as it dis there might have been more justice in it." b dinal WHITE BRIDE'S MOTHER KISSES YELLOW GROOM Marriage of a Chinese to a Young ‘White Girl at Helena, Montana. HELENA, Mont.,, March 11.—Sue Sung, an Americanized Chinaman, who has cut off his queue and thus banished himself for life from his native land, and Miss Lillfan, a girl of sixteen, who is several inches taller than her spouse, were mar- ried on Monday by the Rev. W. N. Sloan at the Presbyterian parsonage, and immediately went to their home in Bil- lings. The couple are both members of the Presbyterian church, and when Sue Sung was a clerk in a Chinese store in Helena several years ago he went to Sun- day-school. He kept up this practice after he moved to Billings and opened a store of his own and at church met his bride. They came here Saturday and applied for a marriage license, but it was refused be- cause the girl's parents had to consent. The bride’s mother, Mrs. Mary Morin, was telegraphed for and arrived to-day. She | gave her consent and a lawyer sald there was no_legal obstacle to the mixture of races. Each party gave the other a ring at the ceremony and then the mother-in- law hugged her Celestial son-in-law and kissed him on his yellow brow.

He added that, as the white man had known too much, he, too, had been killed. To other Indians he related different tales and then ran away from the village to avoid capture. The authorities believe that Stewart murdered the Skeena TIndian and then killed Lee because the latter knew of the first crime.

BOSTON, March 11.—The second day ot strike of organized labor demands of railroad_and steamship companies that merchandise delivered at freight stations by the R. S. Drine Transportation Company be not criminated against found large addi- tions to the ranks of the strikers. Nearly 00 union men were ordered out to-day. inging the grand total of idle men up about 20,000, with the prospect of still greater increase to-morrow. Ome of the most important developments of the day was the ordering out of the lorigshoremen at the decks of the Phila- delphia and Metropolitan Steamship com paries, in consequence of which vessels f those lines were compelled to depart ith onfy partial cargoes, while the harves are partially filled with freight docks are in a similar condition and busi- ness there is practically tied up. The members of the Teamsters’ comprising 1400 brick, slag and cement tcamsters, also went out this afternoon, which virtually ties up the building trades by depriving them of matter with which o work. A strong effort has been made to induce the Boston Central Labor Union, which is composed of ninety affiliated trades of all descriptions, to officially indorse the strike by ordering out all its members, and that body has the matter under con- sideration. The effect of such actiom would be to paralyze business of all kinds. The Central Labor Union has thus far taken no part in the fight. Phe State Board of Arbitration to-day had before it President Cox and the strike committee of the Allled Freight Transpor- tation Counmcil, but no way of settlement could be agreed upon. This committee also waited upon Mayor Collins, whers the serfous condition of affairs was dis- cussed, and he promised his best efforts tu effect an understanding between the parties at issue. Deeming the situation sufficiently grave to warrant his taking such action, Mayor Collins sent a telegram to Senator Hanna at Washington, asking that the National Civic Federation, of whose executive com~ mittee Hanna is chairman, should inter- est itself in the matter and endeavor to effect a settlement by arbitration.
