Alkambra. “The Black Crook” opened at the Al- hambra last night to a crowded house. A dazzling spectacle was presented and all former productions of this old fa- vorite play have been Scenically the production ranks very high, special commendation is deserved by the stage mechanics, electricians and scenic artists, The mechanical and electrical effects and brilliant stage settings come with such start- ling rapidity that it is difficult to de- termine which is the finest. The in- cantation scene wherein Hardy Ka- nute, the black crook, sells his soul to the devil fairly teems with mechanical novelties from a fire-eating dragon to an altar of grinning skulls.

The play has not grown old. every promise of long and prosperous life. Its plot may be thin and wobbly, its sen- timental passages maudlin, but in it that which makes art live—mere human man, with his little tricks and foibles and ador- able foolishness. George Ade has pounced upon a village of the '80's and impaled {upon his pen a dozen types. which he brings to the stage all a-wriggle. There is not on the theater a better drawing of {the “no-account nigger”’ than Sassafras | Livingston. {old and tried political campaigner, with his subtlety hidden in fake rotumdity of humor, is George Ade's own find.

Central. The Central opened last night with a revival of ‘“Monte Cristo,’ mas’ great romantic novel. Thé play proved more than the ordinary Central show, and shows clearly that the man- agement is gradually bringing this play- to a first-class standing in verything but price.

Gadski at the Majestic Theater next week, on { Monday night and Wednesday and Sat- rday afternoons, opens to-day at Sherman, Clay & Co.’s. Judging from the interest manifested, and the pop- ularity that this great artist has al- ways enjoyed in this city, these con- certs will be crowded. Will Greenbaum is managing the appearance of Gadski. Majestic. “Sweet Nell of Old Drury,” with Nel- | lie Ste rt in the title role, com- menced its last week at the Majestic last night. The popularity of the play and the company was amply demon- strated by the size and enthusiasm of the audlefice. It is surely one of the best of the many good shows at the San Francisco theaters this week. Grand Opera-House. The attendance at the Grand Opera- house last night was proof that min- strel shows will go In this city at any old time of the year. While the min- strels are not like those of days gone by (the old timers say), they are being well received. Orpheum. The Orpheum’s seating capacity was | used up long before the curtain went up last night. Lew Sully, “president of the laugh trust,” started some whole- sale hysteria, and the rest of the bill was up to the Orpheum standard. i Tivoll. .

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12—The Senate in executive session to-day made public the majority and minority reports from the Committee on Foreign Relations on the treaty giving to Cuba the title to the Isle of Pines. The majority views sub- port have already been published. The which is signed by Sen- | ators Morgan and W. A. Clark, upholds | the contentlons of Americans who have | invested on the island that they were | warranted tn doing =o by the language of the Piatt amendment and the Cuban con- | stitution, as well as early announcements | | made by Assistat Secretary of War Meiklejohn that the title was vested in the United States by the treaty of Parls. The minority report adds that if the island is turned over to Cuba it will be | unsafe to leave Americans there, for if ! they were maltreated this Government would be compelled to protect them. It | 1s stated that from the hour this Govern- ment again sent soldiers to Cuba the des- | tiny of that republic would be that of Ireland or Egypt and the republic would disappear. Senator Morgan, who drafted the report, contends that the adjustment of title in fact amounts to a sale, which Congress | alone is empowered to make. In that respect the report says: The treaty now under consideration has be- come & proceeding against our own people in a more promounced sense than it can be re- VIG IS NOT GENUINE WITHOUT THE WORD CELESTINS always sold in bottles + like this | minority report, at out assisted several persons to escape | | asleep in our room when I felt the dog | I raised up to | ISLE OF PINES Members of Senate Commit- | stantially as given in the majority re- | ARGONAUT OF 1852 GOES ON _ LAST JOURNEY 3 AGED PIONEER WHO PASSED AWAY SATURDAY AT HER HOME IN THIS CITY. .

Yet they who sail past Gibraitar can- not fall to notice on the eastern slope of the ' fortress enormous silver-colored patches gleaming in the sun. These patches, in some cases thirty or forty feet square, are the proof of Gibraltar’s dis- integration. Of thick, strong cement, they keep huge spurs of the cliff’s side from tumbling into the blue sea. Sea captains, crulsing in the Mediter- ranean, say that Gibraltar has been rot- ting and crumbling for many years, but t of late the disintegration has gone at a faster rate than heretofore. They say that the stone forming this imposing cliff is rotten stone, and that in a little while the phrase, “‘the strength of tar,” will be meaningless.—Chi- \ repldly oocurred and to meet new conditions it is safer, | wiser and more just to submit our present dif- | division to be composed of regulars and the | secon] of National Guardsmen.
