West' Minstrels at Eng. Hsh's Sot cs of the Stage. A symphony of musical numbers, clever Jokes and witticisms and an olio of rare merit Interested a large audience at En glish's last night, when William II. West's minstrel organization played Its annual engagement at that theater. This season Mr. West has surrounded himself with a company that includes several well-known singers and a host of comedians and end men that caused almost Incessant laughter, broken only by the deeper Interest displayed at intervals when a popular ballad was rendered by one of the soloists. The first part has not been changed from other minstrel organizations except In the musical numbers and tho stories told there is the same ensemble cf mlrthmakers and singers. During the first part Willlara II. West, the peer of interlocutors, and Billy Van and Ernest Tenny were introduced, and they lost no time in forcing their fun on the audience. Billy Van is even funnier than ever, if such a thing be possible, and last night his song, 'The Coldest Man on Earth," and his monologue played a merry rhapsody on the risibilities of the audience. The singing was probably the most interesting feature of the first part, however, and Richard J. Jose, the contra-tenor, and John P. Kodgers, the basso, received applause that caused them to respond to encores several times. Manuel Romain, tenor, was also given a hearty encore when he rendered "I Can't Tell Why I Love You., but I Do." Raymond Teal and Charles Whalen gave a new version of how coon songs should be sung. "Tho Holy City," as sung by a quintet at the finale of the first purt, displayed the richness and volume of the principal singers, and they were called upon to respond to soveral encores. There were but five numbers in the olio, but they were all star acta. The De Elmar trio, the eccentric black Clowns, performed many nw and difflcult acrobatic feats, while the Rio Bröthen, three in number, were seen In a very novel act in midair. Teal and Whalen. Billy Van and th Waterbury Brothers and Tenny also had numbers in the olio. Notes of the Statte. Ellen Terry has had prepared for her use, by Mr. Comyns Carr, a version of Goldoni's "La Locar.diera." xxx "Jessie's Jack and Jerry" is the alliterative title of a little farce which Lillian Burkhardt will shortly present In the vaudeville houses. xxx May Went worth, Fattl Rosa. Bettita Girard and Elizabeth Murray are some of the people who will entertain audiences at the Grand all of next weel:. xxx A Run on the Bank," Ward & Vokes's farcical success, will be seen for the first time at popular prices in this city the first three days of next week at the Park Theater. xxx The Ragged Regiment," a play of the war with Spain, written by R. N. Stephens and produced without success at the outset of that conflict, is to be revived in New York in April. xxx Park audiences are having a rare treat the first half of this week in the thape of a really bright and well-acted farce entitled ''Hello BUI," which is produced under the personal supervision of its author, Willis Maxwell Goodbue. xxx Thurlow Bergen and Howell Ifansell, two excellent young actors, who were introduced to Indianapolis theater-goers through the medium or tin; late Grand stock company, are In th cast of Jamea O'Neill's ;rcat revival of 'Monte Crista." which Is coming to English's next week. X M M The Pride of Jenn'.co," which James K. Ilackett and Bertha GallanJ, with the aid of a strong company, will present at English's Ojera Hons.

Since the recent fire the box office has been temporarily maintained In tho room that was previously used as a checkroom. XXX Marie Dressier is declared, by many, to possess a style of funmaklng that is even more infectious than that of the redoubtable May Irwin. The new musical farce, "MI?s Prinnt." In which Miss Dressier is achieving both fame and finances this season, is said to contain in its third act one of the most delicious burlesques offered the public in a number of reasons. Miss Dressier is to appear at Englisr's next Tuesday night. XXX One of Severus Schaff er's spectacularfeats at the Grand this week is the balancing on ' his chin of a real pony cart, in which he rides on to the stage at the opening of his act. Another little divertisement of this clever man la to balance a heavy cannon ball on top of a long pole and then Knock away the pole, allowing' the ball to drop onto the back of his neck, then roll over his shoulder, down his arm to his finger tips. This looks as though It might hurt. XXX The Hibernian benefit closed last night. It was a success in every way.

Eight Nebraska Republican Legisla tors Bolted at Lincoln Last Xlght. LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. 12. The Republic an Legislature caucus to nominate two senators, under the call agreed to last night, adjourned shortly before midnight without making a nomination or substantial progress. The caucus was in session nearly four hours behind closed doors and was marked by some disorder, a number of bit ter speeches and a bolt on the part of eight members, who quit the hall after tne nrst ballot. The men who walked out are opponents of IX B. Thompson, of Lincoln. for senator, and they Justify the ooit on the ground that the caucus agreement. which provided that only Republicans of unquestioned loyalty shall be eligible as candidates, was violated when Mr. Thomp son was placea In nomination. After the walk-out a second ballot was taken, with little change from the first, and adjournment was taken. The members declare they will continue to ballot In caucus under the call until nominations are made, regardless of the bolters. Neither of the ballots to-night differed greatly from those in the Joint session of the Legislature. May Not Heed Mr. Hanns. DOVER, Del., Feb. 12. There are no indications that the letter of Senator Hanna to the Republicans of the Delaware Legislature, directing them to elect two senators, one of whom shall be Mr. Addicks, will have any effect upon the senatorial situation here. While the regular Republicans are ready to elect two senators, one of whom shall not be Mr. Addicks, they are not willing to consider any combination that includes Addicks for one of the two senatorshlps. And Addicks. with a majority of the Republican membership behind him, will not consider any proposition that Involves his elimination. This Is the situation and it makes the deadlock inevitable, with every prospect that It will continue to the end of the session. MANY KUM0BS EIFE.
