The excellent musical organization, which was formed at Manila by Direc- tor E. G. Fischer to accompany Major arrington’s scouts to the St. Louis Exposition, was heard to great advan- tage in the Pavilion, where every selec- tion was heartily applauded. The ap- plause was well deserved, too, espe- cially that which greeted the render- ing of the overture from Rossini’s ‘William Tell” and the familiar but ever welcome numbers from Verdi's “Il Trovatore.” AUDIENCE APPRECIATIVE.

Major Carrington had reduced his drill that brought round after round of | applause from the benches, the sixty | men moving in with machine-like pre- ¢isfon and presenting a most effective | appearance.

SPECTATORS CHEER. | The physical drill with rifles to music by the band presented a taking exhibi- tion of difficult calisthenic work, in which all four of the companies partici- | pated. Finally the dress parade brought nearly every spectator to his feet in silent admiration of its impres- | sive dignity, and as the well-ordered | ranks marched off the floor they were | followed by loud cheers. The wrestling of' the boys from the | Olympic Club brought out some excel- | lent work from the following pairs: R. | B. Cornell and E. J. Phillips, G. H. wil- | liams and C. B. Reardan, D. E.

The company handles the plece in excellent shape. A Californian without family is wed- ded to a young woman without family and he is possessed of a daughter by a former marriage who is, of course, in a like predicament. He has accumu- lated seventy million dollars, which will buy that caste for which his wife yearns. The daughter is in love with the scion of a famous New York r-.mn; = of Dutch descent. The aristocratic parents of: lhe ‘boy bring about a separation, and in a fit of anger the girl marries a roue with the title of prince. The latter is in love with the millionaire's wife, and thus matters are complicated. The prince attempts to make love to the apitalist’s wife and is caught at it. He is forced to leave the country and dies opportunely. The “right” people are all reunited in the end and the affair has a happy finale. An English earl, a British mar- quis and a French duke are side char- acters that portray titled idio James Durkin as the American mil- lionaire and Adele Block as his wife were the most popular of the players. Luke Cohness handled the part of the prince admirably. Juliet Crosby and Edwin T. Emery in serious characters were also well received. Harry Hilliard, George Osbourne, Frances Starr, Jchn Maher, Lawrence Gattan and Reginald Mason appeared in humorous roles. The others of the cast furnished excellent support for the leaders. . With the revival of Millocker's comic opera, “The Beggar Student,” the week began at the Tivoli- last night, with a cast essentially the same as that in the presentation of a few weeks ago. Russo, Cunningham, Hartman, Webb and Wallace Brownlow sustain the leading male characters and Caro Roma, Bessie Tannehill, Dora de Fil- ippe and Nettie Deglow the leading female roles. The same care and artis- tic taste that have made the Tivoli pcpular have been bestowed upon this production, and the result is an en- Joyable performance. e . James and Bessie Kelley, Irish char- acter artists, were new at the Chutes yesterday and made hits at both, per- formances, as did also Leando and Fee- ley, comedy acrobats, and the Robin- sons, clever colored singers and danc- ers. Agnes Moore, the monologist and singer, varied her specialty; Hawley and Vass offered a lot of new witti- cisms, and Mabel Lamson, the popular contralto, was warmly applauded for her illustrated songs. The animato- scope, showing many new and novel moving pictures, completed an unus- ually interesting programme. The am- ateurs will appear on Thursday night. ;P IR Anna ‘'Held and “Mam’selle Napo- leon” continue to hold the boards at the Columbia this week. S “Kismet"” is still on at Fischer’s. Helen Russell and Ben Diflon in the principal roles make it a play well worth seeing. Miss Langhlin Will Lecture.

Though General Manager Chapman and President Cornelius both pressed the hope that the differences their respective interests ex- a strong undercurrent of feeling that a strike is inevitable. Everything in- dicates that the company Iis deter- mined to make no further advances in its wage schedule and it has so an- nounced on several occasions lately. THE men have shown no inclination. however, to abandon their hope of forcing their employers to meet the demands incorporated’ in their recent | communication to the company. It was stated on good authority yes terday that the railroad company's action in ceasing to break in more “students” on the various lines after a protest had been made by the carmen, was only a temporary move and that | in a few days the management would continue to instruct new men as it has been doing for several months. This move, it is expected, will precipitate matters, notwithstanding the declara- tion lately made that both sides would stand by the existing agreement until its expiration on April 30. It is held | by members of the union that any trouble arising ouf,of the employment | of extra men will be treated as a mat- | ter entirely foreign to the provisions of | the agreement and that if the com- any persists in breaking in new men on the eve of the expiration of this agreement such an act will be accepted only in the light of an indication of the company's determination to have | no further peaceful arrangement with the union. The report received by the managers of the California Street and Union Street Cable companies Friday after- noon to the effect that the employes of those companies were preparing to submit demands for an increase of wages has not yet been confirmed, al- though the men on the two lines free- ly discuss with their friends their con- templated move in that direction in | the near future. SRS e CLASH IS IMMINENT. Livery Stablemen’s Association and Stablemen’s Union Are Nearing a Struggle. There is g great probability of a clash between the Livery Stablemen's Association and the Stablemen’s Union over the latest demand made by the sinion men which they ask be put into operation on the 14th inst. The stablemen have asked for a raise of 25 cents a day on their wages with other minor considerations. The associdtion is disposed to rebel against any further concession or parleying | with the employes, who, it is said, have succeeded in getting everything they have asked for up to the present time. Both bodies held meetings last night, but their deliberations were executive.. - The Stablemen’s Union will submit its conclusions to the executive committee of the same be- | fore taking definite action. In any event nothing positive will be done before the next meeting of the union, which will be held on Monday | night. ~ It is rumored that the stable- | men’'s association is determined to fight the issue to a finish at this time. Should both sides remain ohdurate it is possible that other labor elements may be dragged into the issue, as it is freely circulated that the Citizens’ Alliance is prompting the stablemen's association to declare for a free and open labor market to all that may wish to work. On the other hand the Stablemen's Union will Jook to the Hackmen's Union and other organiza- tions for sympathy should the fight P AREE SN el L St. Andrew’s Annual Outing.
