The resignation was dent Walter's action that could be ob- tained from the directors was the differ- ences of opinion existing between the president and the directors regarding the management of the company’s affairs. ‘Walter declined to make any statement for publication.’ It is said President ‘Walter's action was a surprise to most of the directors. In financial and railroad circles the present financial policy of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company is believed to be the cause of the ‘‘differences” said to exist. President Walter in his last an- nual report, recently published, an- nounced that it would be necessary to adcpt some financial plan by which the funds might be secured from other sources than from the net earnings of the com- pany to meet the operating expense: which have frequently been so great as | to result in a deficit instead of a profit. It is believed the president’s suggestion did not meet the approval of the man- agement. Rumors have been current that | an issue of $1,000,000 of collateral trust bonds under the mortgage of 1887 had been considered, but it could not be ledrned whether such action was taken at to-day’s meeting of the directors. The recent attack upon President Wal- ter and the management by A. E. Cot- tier, a large New York stockholder, is believed here to have no bearing on Wal- ter's retirement, as Walter is' said to have been in accord with Cottier's views. Walter was elected president of the Le- high Valley Railroad in 1897, succeeding E. P. Wilbur. He was regarded as the | choice of the Drexel-Morgan interests, which a short time previously had become the dominant factors in the affairs of the company. Walter had been at various times con- nected with the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Northern Central, the Baltimore and Potomac, the Baltimore and Ohio and the New York, Lake Erie and Western.

The American grow- ers have been experimenting this year with all sorts of fruits and with the va- ricus methods of packing and refriger- ating. “We have found,” said the representa- tives of several importing firms, “that | the temperature has been kept right on | the slower steamer lines which have hown themselves just as capable of randling fruit as the ocean greyhounds. Consequently several new: lines are now | that careful packing pays. We have re- ceived a lot of Eastern peaches which were carefully wrapped, in fine condition, though plums, pears, apples and necta- rines have made up the bulk of the ship- ments. American grapes and green figs, however, cannot compete against the products of the South of France under | ordinary conditions and the British pub- | lic can never be educated to a taste for | watermelons, and moreover, while Span- | ish cantaloupes are exceedingly cheap the cost of freight will shut out Americans from this departmgnt.

EDINBORO, Pa., Nov. 19.—Five masked robbers dynamited the safe in the post- office early to-day and carried off $300 in postage stamps and $20 in cash. The ex- plosion aroused the citizens, wh'o sur rounded the building, but they’ were forced to open a way for escape at the point of ten revolvers in the hands of the | burglars. A number of shots were fired, and George C. Goobdall, a citizen, was wound- ed in the arm. The thieves stole a fres rural delivery horse and wagon 'at Erie and rifled the mail in the wagon. A posse is in pursuit, but so far has failed to find the burglars. The postoffice was badly dumaged by the explosion.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Chief Wilkie of the United States secret service in speaking to-day of Mrs. Lena Doxheim- | er's story of a plot. to kill President Roosevelt said that a searching investi- gation by operatives of the secret service proved conclusively that she was mis- | taken as to the facts. | Chief Wilkie is convinced that there | has been no plot against the life of the | President such as Mrs. Doxheimer de- | scribes.

On Sunday night comes Herne’s master- plece, “‘Shore Acres,” for a week's en- gagement at the Caifornia. This delfght- ful comedy drama of New England life is apparently destined to an evergreen pop- ularity. It is one of the few plays that may be seen time and again and yet re- tain its wholesome attfraction. pany is the same that has been present- ing ‘“‘Shore Acres” for the last eight years. James A. Galloway, who has played the leading role since Herne's death, was understudy to the famous actor-author and has been stage Jdirector ) 1 ORGANIZER AND PROPRIETOR OF ROYAL ITALIAN BAND BEARING | HIS NAME, DIRECTOR OF STOCK COMPANY OF NEW THEATER REPUBLIC AND VOCALIST NOW APPEARING AT ORPHEUM. — A S the East will seemingly spare us nothing but comic opera and i musical comedy, 1t is to rejoice that at least the Bostonians will purvey the former for us. The famous company comes next week to the Columbia Theater for a two weeks' en- gagement in De Koven's ‘“Robin Hood" and ‘““Maid Marian,” the latter opera a sequel to the first. Besides the old favor- ites of the company, H. C. Barnabee, W. H. Macdonald, George B. Frothingham and Josephine Bartlett, a new prima don- na will be heard in Miss Grace Van Stud- diford. Miss Van Studdiford has won much favor in New York in the recent re- vival of “Robin [Hood," as also in “Mald Marian.” “Florodora” is in its last days and has had a successful season. Its last matinee will be on Saturday, and there will be a farewell performance on Sunday evening next, S Saturday night, November 29, is the date that has been definitely decided upon for the opening of the new Theater | Republic, on Fifth street, near Market. | It is difficult to recognize in the new theater old Metropolitan Temple, so great has been the transformation. The loca- tion is admirably suited to theatrical { needs, and inside. will be found as cozy |and pretty a playhouse as any in the ‘West. The policy of the new theater will be that of a high class stock company at extremely moderate prices. The company will be under the direction of Harrington Reynolds and promises to be one of the strongest stock companies ever organized exclusively for a San Francisco laeater. Some of the people whom Reynolds has brought out from the East are great fa- vorites there and come with all sorts of testimonials. Edmund Breese, the lead- ing man, should make a decided stir among the matinee girls. He is heralded as a matinee idol of New York and Bos- ton and an actor of unusual strength and ability. Last season in the Boston re- vival of “Monte Cristo” he replaced James O'Neill at a moment’s notice, and at the end of the long run he was still rplaying the leading role. He has a fine stage presence and a rich, powerful voice. Helen MacGregor, leading lady of the new company, played In that capacity with Sothern last season. She is consid- ered one of the most versatile actresses in the profession. R ‘There is but a week and a half of grand opera remaining at the Tivoll, and the programme is such as to malintain’ the interest of the season until its close. To- night ‘“Andre Chenier,” to which the more conservative of musicians have awarded the palm over the popular “La Tosca,” will be given for the last time. “1’ Pagliaccl” and “Cavalleria” come to- morrow evening, and Saturday and Sun- day will be devoted to “Carmen.” Next week a comparative novelty in the shape of “Fra Diavolo” will be produced, with the Chevalier Buzzi, who makes his first appearance at this house, in the title role, The chevaller last year made a memora- ble debut under the direction of the now famous “iceman impresario,” and found much favor on the only performance of the ill-fated company.

The portrayal of Lady Isabel | by Miss Wainwright is the feature of the performance. Next week Lester Wallack’s great mili- tary drama, “The Veteran,” will be re- vived and produced in spectacular fash- ion. The full strength of the Grand Op- era-house stock company will be required in the casting of this drama. . The next important star engagement at this house will be that of Nance O'Neill, the talented California actress. She will be seen in the fine repertoire that has come to be closely associated with her name. . . “Coon Hellow" is crowding the Central at every performance. To-morrow night there will be a champlonship cake walk, open to all colored competitors. Bach of the winning couples will be presented with a gold ,watch. On Monday night next Charles E. Blaney’s patriotic melo- drama, “Across’ the Pacific,” will be pre- sented. oy “A Stranger in a‘ Strange Land” will close its remarkably successful run of two weeks on Sunday night at the Al- cazar. The regular matinees take place on Saturday and Sunday, the Thursday matinee having been discontinued in ra. vor of the Sunday afternoon performance at the request of patrons. Next week the very diverting farce comedy, “Brown’s in Town,” will be produced. There will be an extra matinee Thanks- giving day. The Lowell High School boys will own Fischer's Saturday night. The young gentlemen have decided to celebrate on the evening of their football game at the popular house, and 200 seats have been set aside for them. The night will be a gala one, and the comedians will do their utmost to entertain the coming citizens. “Whirl-I-Gig” still goes to the tune of success, and “The Geezer,” that is to fol- low, is in active preparation. . . The Orpheum is doing a banner bus this week with Johnny and Emma l;:;s presenting “Casey, the Fireman”; Mme.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Differences have arisen between the State Depart- ment and the Colombian -Government, which may delay an agreement on the terms of a canal treaty beyond the time in which it had been expected to conclude the treaty. 3 Secretary Hay has furnished the Co- lombian Minister, Concha, with a memo- randum setting forth the position of this Government, which was prepared by the Secretary after he had received a similar memorandum from Concha defining the Colombian position. There are differences between the two which must be reconciled before a treaty can be drawn. It is apparent that Hay has taken a firm position and did not adopt all the terms proposed by the Co- lombian Government. It is assumed that Concha will refer the points of variance to his Government, and thus time will be consumed, as it will take several days to get a reply from Bogota to his in- | quirfes. - To what extent the differences may prove to be obstacles in the way of a consummation of a treaty remains to be seen. QUEER INVESTIGATION OF POINT LOMA SCHOOL San Diego Organization Anticipates the Inquiry of Sargent and White. SAN. DIEGO, Nov. 19.—The first investi- gation of the Raja Yoga school at Point Loma, in the name of a society for the prevention of cruelty to children, was made to-day by an organization which was formed by those who have been ac- counted the friends of the institution and of Katherine Tingley. It was incorpo- rated yesterday, with Hugh J. Baldwin as president, J. H. Marshall as vice pres- ident, D. E. Creed as secretary and Mel- ville Klauber as treasurer. They wasted me ‘time in_getting to work and six of the seven directors, including the presi- dent and secretary, made the trip to Point Loma to-day. On thelr return the visitors declined to tell the result of the investigation until the report was finally made and signed by all. From the fact that the secretary has for several months been acounted a member of the Theosophical society and that the president was one of those who sent telegrams to New York in defense of the school when it was questioned be- fore the Immigration Committee, it may be presumed with a reasonable degree of fairness that the Theosophical Society will not be given the worst of it. Though the representative of the San Francisco society, of which Mr. Sonntag is the president, was refused admission even before he asked for it, on the ground that no investigation was to be permitted until the representdtive of the United States Government had been here, the new local society was admitted two days before Commissioner Sargent is expected.

Mr. Ellery’s Royal Ital- ian Band, organized In January, - 1901, made a tour of 16,000 miles through Amer- ica last season. The newspapers through- out the country lavished extravagant praise on the band, not infrequently com- paring it with Sousa’s, and not to Sousa's advantage. The band is now upon its sec- ond annual tour, which will terminate In New York City in April, when Mr. Ellery will take his men for an extended tour in England, France and Germany. Mr. El- | lery’s lifelong ambition has been to se- cure such an aggregation of artistic musicians, and in securing the services of Cavaliere Emilio Rivela, Italy’s pre- mier band master, he feels that he has at last attained his desire.

Poole was so badly injured as to incapacitate him from work. The ground of the nonsuit was that the con- stitution of the brotherhood, which is a part of the contract, provides benefits only in cases where a leg, hand or both eyes are lost. Otherwise the benevolence of the order must be relied upon. e Licensed to Marry.
