She will be seen in the name role, and Mr. McDowell, of course, as Marc Antony. The rest of the cast will be in the hands of the Grand Opera- house stock company, and the scenic side of things will, as usual, be very ade- quately handled by the Grand Opera- housg management. .

The fire started on the sec- | ond floor in the western end of the struc- ture. When the fire was discovered by the young woman in whose apartment the lamp was overturned, she immediate- ly rang the fire alarm and started to fight | the.flames. The alarm aroused all the | young women in the bullding, most of | whom were asleep, and when it was seen | that the flames were getting beyond their control, they made their exit. Those who occupied the first and second floors man- aged to save some of their effects, but' those occupying .the third+ floor saved nothing.

At present his process 1s se- cret and only a few close friends know he possesses it. “¥or some time bacteriologists have known that the delicate flavor of Havana tobacco was due to certain bacillus,” said Secretary Pritchard of the Health “but nobody thought of cultivating it and applying it to Ameri- can-grown tobacco.

He finally dis- covered a means of growing the bacillus and is_now cultivating it on a large He takes the best grades of Amer- ican tobacco and covers the leafs with the cultured microbes.

TUchida, Consul General for Japan at New York, has received reports from Tokio dealing ! with the foreign trade of his country for last year and the development of its rail- ways. The reports showed that in both fields there had been substantial gains over previous years. The foreign trade of Japan for last year has shown the largest figures on record, the total amount of exports and imports | having exceeded 500,000,000 yen in vatue. | Following are the comparative statistics for the last five years: oo Total imports Excess of exports and exports. over imports. 3,467,000 yen. 2,831,000 yen | 5,452,000 yen 111,748,000 en | 435,00C yen 56,165,000 yen Although it is a fact that the economic | condition of the empire during the last | few years has been much disturbed by | tightness of the money market, advance In interest and crisis In figancial circles, | the foreign commerce of the country has | made rapid progress. i The following table shows the steady increase of exports during the last five years: Year— Exports. 1901 252,349,000 yen ,000 yen The leading articles of export was raw silk, which amounted in value to 24,000,000 yen last year, and the next was the | habutal silk, valued at 23,000,000 yen. Then came cotton yarns, 21,000,000 yen, and cop- per, 13,000,000 yen. Such a large volume of éxport business, espeeially of raw siik, as attained last year, has no parallel in | the hlstorK of Japan’s foreign trade. While the expon trade is continbally | expanding the import trade has a slight | tendency to recede, as shown by the fol- lowing table: i | Notwithstanding the fact that there was a speculative mportation of certain classes of goods, to the amount of about 10,000,000 yen, during the last year on ac- count of the enforcement of the new tar- iff, the total value of Imports was less than the preceding year, The continued excess of 1mgnrtu over exports has been caused by the excesslve Importation of articles for temporary use. The principal articles brought in during lust yoar were cotton to the value of 16,000,000 ven: sugar, | 5,000,000 yen; petroleum, 40,000,000 yen': machinery, 10,000,000 yen, and rice, 10,000,000 | yen, dn short the forelgn trade of Jupan for the last year showed an extraordinary large figure in export trade, its total value exceeding the previous year by 4,000,000 yen, while its imports were 31,600,000 yen less’ than the preceding year. The report on rallway department shows that gince the Government constructed it first line of elghteen miles from Yoko- hama to Toklo in 1872, the great trunk line of 1200 miles has been buflt and the total mileage in the country increased to 4105, which in 1900 handled 113,000,000 pas- sengers and 14,000,000 tons of freight. Of the total mileage 2661 miles are owned by private corporations. According to the reports made on the raflways at the end of the year 1600, the gross earnings of both state and private rallways for that year was u.m.a& yen, the gross expenditure 20,732,764 yen'and the net profit 24,200, ma'e L At the end of 1901 the state had 1017 miles of new line under construction and the private companies had 817 miles pro- Jected, so the Increase of this and the succeeding y large.

Claims There Is No Hitch in Treaty Negotiations With Spain. NEW YORK, March _16. — Bellamy Storrer, United States Minister to Spain, arrived to-day on the American line steamship St. Louis from Southampton. Storrer was surprised to learn that a rumor had been circulated that he had been recalled from his post, and emphat- ically denied that there was the slightest foundation for such a report. Said he: d have I have no idea how such a rumor coul been started. I have simply come home on leave of absence for ninety days because al this time there is no urgency for my presence in Madrid. It is not true that there has been a hitch in the negotiations of the treaty with Spain and on the contrary they have progressed most favorably and there is absolutely no ob stacle in view to the successful accomplish: ment of the treaty. I may say, indeed, tha the most important provisions of the treaty have already been fully agreed upon. So far as the question of the rights of Spanish prop- erty owners in Porto Rico is concerned, the Government at Madrid is fully satisfled. ' The Degotiations of the treaty have been some- what prolonged, not on @account of any re- luctance on the part of the Spanish Govern- ment, but merely because every condition and 1 may say every phrase in the document must first be presented to the councll of state for review and approval, . Owing to the approaching accession of the young King the late Ministry of Sagasta was in effect simply a provisional one, and as the final ratification had to be left to the new stry an opportunity was afforded me to apply for a short leave of absence. to return to my post early in Jun tions with the Spanish Government and with officials of all classes have been of the most pleasant character, and on all hands I have becn the reciplent of the most courteous consld- eration, I regretted to notlce in most of the American papers which I recelved in Madrid statements to the effect that the young King was. physi- cally and mentally unfit to assume the reins of Government, 'That i not trup.

Graceland 3 . CHICAGO, March 16.—Representatives of all classes of people joined to-day in & final tribute of respect to ex-Governor John P. Altgeld, who was buried in Grace- land Cemetery. In accordance with the wishes of Mrs. Altgeld there was no mili- tary display. For two hours in the morn- ing, before the casket was sealed, a steady stream of people viewed the body as it lay in state. Along the line of march, which extended from the. library to Lincoln Park, the streets were crowded by men, women and ehildren in whose hearts Altgeld had found a place. The funeral procession was headed by a platoon of police. There were five divisions. The family, Governor Yates and his staff, members of the Legis- lature, the Cook County judiclary, mem- bers of the County Board, city and county officials made up the first. The second division was made up of the United Turner Socleties, the third a | number of political bodies, while organiz- ed labor bodies formed the fourth. The fifth division was composed of civic and | fraternal socleties, Boér sympathizers, the Altgeld Legion, Henry George Assocla- tion and hundreds of citizens. William J. Bryan served as one of the honorary pall- earers. At the grave where several thousand people had assembled Mr. Ryan paid the following tribute to Altgeld: i This occasion, sad as it is, would be fmmi- nently more If we were committing to the earth all that there was of our departed . But the better part of him whom we knew as Altgeld survives the gra As the bird, escaping from its cage, enters a large world, so the influence of the deceased fs broadened rather than narrowed by his death.

CAST INTO JAIL BY ECUADOREANS Illegal Arrest of English- man Trading in Alausi. British Government Is Called Upon to Protect Her Subject. GUAYAQUIL, Ecuador, March 16— News has been received here by telegraph that a man named Ken- neay had been locked up in the jail at Alausi, the same ! place ‘where Michael Bolan of Springfield, Ohio, was formerly imprisoned. Kennedy is not an employe of the Guayaquil and Quinto Railroad, but an Englishman trading le- gally in Alausi. He appears to be well connected. It is believed here that as a result of Kennedy's imprisonment the British Government will have to consider the matter of affording protection to British subjetts in Ecuador. The cruiser Philadelphia came to Guay- aquil to make an investigation of the alle- gations that American citizens had been ill-treated in Ecuador. The Philadelphia left the mouth of the river to-day. She takes with her an American citizen named Leonard Selzer, from Minnesota, wha has | been in jail here without trial since July 10 last, on the charge of murder. As a result of efforts made in Selzer's behalf before Consul de Leo: that no evidence exists upon which he could be condemned. He was therefore released. Selzer was formerly a carpenter in_the United States navy. De Leon will leave here for New York next week. Certain American citizens here have signed and forwarded a statement to the Secretary of State at Washington in which M. de Leon, the American Consul at Guayaquil, is complimented on his stand in the matter of the recent alleged impositions upon American contractors in Ecuador on the part of the Ecuadorean officials, Michael Bolan was one of the Americans whose imprisonment was alleged to have been {llegal and an outra; E—— AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY I8 DOING SPLENDID WORX Field Secretary Swift Presents an In. teresting Report at the An- nual Meeting. WABHINGTON, March 10~The Wash- ington unnual meeting of the Americun Tract Boclety was held this afternoon jn Bt. John's Protestant HEpiscopal Church. The Rev.

Dr. Bmith dwelt on the splendid work the society 18 doing among the Mormons, immigrants and in our island possessions, as well as its general lines ‘of service for the salvation of souls, The secretary stated that thirty-seven new publications had been added during the year, twenty in English, the others in German, Span- ish, Itallan and Dutch.

K Pt AL, BIG STRIKE IN BOSTON IS FAR FROM SETTLEMENT Longshoremen and Team Drivers Are Not Satisfied With the Terms Offered. BOSTON, March 16.—Although yester- day's conferences cleared the atmosphere of 0o many of the perplexing questions arising out of the great industrial strike and apparently rendered a peaceful ter- mination certain, to-night there are clouds on the horizon. Practically all the strikers, outside of the longshoremen and team drivers, are satisfied with the pres- ent outlook for a settlement so far as their organizations are concerned, but those two classes of workmen have griev- ances which seem to baffle all attempts at a compromise. ‘The longshoremen are most bitter toward the Metropolitan Steamship line, which will take back only a small num- ber of the old men, and the Clyde line, which will not discharge the men alreauy employed to make piaces for the old hands. The strikers also refuse to go back to the Merchants’ and Miners’ line and work with non-union men and sub- mit to a reduction of 5 cents per hour in their wages. They held a stormy meeting to-night. President Ryan of the Loneshoremen’s Unlon stated after the meeting that un- less matters are adjusted soon they were prepared to tie up the business of the companies all along the seaboard. ‘The situation is so strained to-night that D. J. O'Keefe, president of i.e National Longshoremen's Unlon, who is now in Cleveland, has been asked to come to Boston and endeavor to adjust the trouble. —_— Geronimo Wants His Freedom. FORT SILL, O.

Money is still scarce and there I8 no prospect of this scarcity being relleved by large Government disburses ments until after the Baster holldays. The health of Cecil Rhodes added to th depression of stocks, although it is e fidently asserted that arrangements ha been perfected to avert a serious di turbance in the event of his death. The capture of General Methuen was the most serious factor of the week from the sentimental point of view, although the suppression of this news by the Gov. ernment until the concluding of the sei~ tlement prevented what doubtless wou:d have been a disagtrous slump of the market. There is no question that the Stock Exchange s now in a healthier condition than {t has been for several weeks past, owing to the’ drastic shaking out of the weak bulls, but there is no disposition to embark upon fresh com- mitments at the present moment. New issues met with scant encourage- ment in the Exchange and Americans were absolutely stagnant. Home rails were dull and lower. Mines were dull at only a slight decline on the week, but thelr general Jange was from 10 to 15 per cent below the high level of the early part of the year. BERLIN, March 16—The Bourse ex- perienced an exceedingly stagnant week, excepting bank stocks, in_which there was considerable activity. The Boerse is still laboring under the excessive upward movement of January and February, and the Frankfurter Zeitung believes 'that further unpleasant circumstances from this speculation are coming and conses quently advises buyers to remain con- servative. Although the iron market is improving and several price advances were an- nounced during the past week, irons gen- erally were several points below the week before last. Coal shares fell heavily, through the discharge of many employes by the Hibernia Company and the gener- nfly unsatisfactory trade reports. Although the abundance of money has not abated, discounters show more dis- inclination to place funds owing to the approaching quarter, consequently the private rate rose to 2.
