XXX Helen Bertram's "Tarantella." rendered In the second ;act of "Foxy Qulller," Is fpoken of as one of the most dramatic musical efforts heard in years.

XXX Howard Kyle's delineation of the title role of Nat Goodwin's old success. "Nathan Hale," is attracting consIJerable favorable attention. The Chicago dramatic critics have compared Mr. Kyle to Mr. Goodwin, and by no means to the former's disparagement. Mr. Kyle is said to resemble the mattete idol. William Faversham closely in physical appearance, but Is asserted to be "happily free from most of Faversham's faults." XXX No actress has worked harder for recognition than has Mildred Holland, who will play an engagement in this city during the present season in her new romantic drama "The Power l'.ohind the Throne."

Ml? Fox is at the head of thl. week's vaudeville bill at the Grand Opera House and will be heard this afternoon for the lirst time In this

city in her new kind of entertainment. xxx The vaudeville association known as "The White Rats of America" will hold a national convention in New Haven, Conn., shortly.

Seats are on sale at Wulichner's. An extra feature will be vocal selections by Miss Lula A. Fisher, the popular soprano. XX The little Duke de Reichstadt, who Is the principal figure of 4,L,Aiglon" Is one of the most Interesting and pathetic figures in history. He was an "eaglet" only because he never reached maturity, because he died at twenty-one with all his hopes disaprointed, with all his ambitions unachieved. J I is tutors, directed by the crafty Metternich, have tried to keep from the lad as much of his father's greatness as possible, but the truth which stirred the young blood in his veins was gathered from books concealed securely In the mattress of his bed. Mme. Sarah Rernhardt's portrayal of this unique character is classed as one of the greatest achievements of her long and lustrous career. XXX The Zoo will enter upon this week with a change of programme. The few old acts that will bo put on will be improved. Another large consignment of animals arrived last night. In order to make room for them at the Zoo a number of the ones that have been on exhibition have been stored in the car barn at Rrightwood and In Roth's livery barn.

March from 7 p. m. to 11 p. m.. shall be Modern Woodmen night. The Zoo will be open at night only and on Saturday afternoon for women and cnildren. XXX A dispatch from Chicago last night to the Journal said: "The Grand Opera House was packed tonight with an enthusiastic audience which applauded the grand revival of 'She Stoops to Conquer,' by Stuart Robson and his specially selected company. Old-time theater goers after the play said it was the finest performance Chicago had seen in years. Mr. Robson appeared in his famous impersonation of Tony Lumpkin. He was in his very best form and kept the spectators convulsed with laughter by his inimitable comedy touches. After every act there were numerous curtain calls, which culminated in a speech from Mr. Robnon. The supporting company Is the strongest that has ever been asociated with the star. At the conclusion of a week's engagement in this city Mr. Robson will go on tour. his manager, I. V. Arthur, having booked a route through the principal cities of the West and South." Mr. llarkett'M Xew Ventnre. CHICAGO. March 10. James K. Hackett, the actor, announced here to-night that he would appear as an independent star next season and that he had disposed of an interest in his venture to II. L.

The Los Entlmnted ut .",(0O lief rigerateil lleef In Dnnifer. A fire in the boiler rooms of the Indian apolis Abattoir Company's plant at 11:30 o'clock last nisht threw out of gear the refrigerating machinery, and the less that may result could not be estimated at that time. There are 2,000 beeves in the refrigerating room,, and the air supply can last not longer than twenty-four hours without the aid of machinery. As soon an the engineers could go into the boiler room they at once began to repair the damage to start the plant. The fire damaged the building to the ex tent of Jl.uoo, as nearly as could be estimated, but the loss on the three larg-2 boilers could not be determined without more careful examination. It is thought the loss will not exceed $3.000, providing me plant is started in time to save the re frigerated beef. It is not known how the fire started. It was tirst discovered by the lireman. who saw a flame in the roof near one of the Hues. The timber being extremely dry, tho fire made rapid headway, and, caught up by the strong wind, soon threatened truj entire plant. The entire roof was burned from the engine room and the masonry work arouna me Doners was water soaked There were four tanks of lard, containing each forty barrels, cooking, and the steam being shut off from it may cause further loss.

REV. W. A. Ql AYI.E'S INTERESTING SERMON IX THE EVENING. Rev. C. C. Hnivllioirs Sermon at Third Christian Other Church Service. The Rev. W. A. Quaylc, pastor of Merid ian-street M. E. Church, preached to a large congregation last night from the text: "And the young men that were spies went In and brought out Rahab and her father, mother and her brethren, and all that she had, and they brought all her kindred and left them without the camp of Israel." Joshua vi, 2C. He said in part: "I am. not hero to glorify Rahab, but to condemn that which is bad in her and praise that which is good. There are two classes of characters which we read In biographies. One class is like the limpid pool, in the bottom of which you can plainly see the pebbles. These are the people that have nothing to hide from the world, nothing to dodge. Their lives are as open as the day. Such a life was that of Charles Dickens. John Wanamaker is another such character. He went into bus iness with God for a partner, and to tell the truth God was about the only one that trusted him. God has been John Wanawaker's silent partner through all of his life and as a consequence his name has become a household synonym for honesty and integrity. His life is an open one, as every body's life should be. Rut there are some people whose lives are in a constant tangle; people we may know for years and yet never understand. There are some people who are marvelously philanthropic to people that are a long ways off, and again some people are great philanthropists on paper, but when this sort of peo ple come In touch with the world they forget their philanthropy. There are tangled lives which nobody can understand; lives that are a mixture of some things very good and some things very bad. There was Alexander Hamilton, a man who did as much for his country as any other American. He gave us a system of finance which has made us the richest nation on earth. He had genius; he had many of the greatest qualities with which man was ever endowed, but ho was not a good man. He was afraid to stand on his own reputation, his life was an inexplicable tangle. The woman Rahab was of the kind with a. tangled character. Itahab was a woman of ill repute, she was a traitress to her country, she was a liar and she lied glibly, and yet she became ancestress to the Son of God. She was faithful to her own family, she kept her word with the spies and she had a faith inGod. Rahab had badness enough, God knows, but she had faith in God, and that proved her salvation. Does any one think that (Jod measures character in a pair of steelyards? No so. God has not the time to waste in such folly. What He wants to know the principle which governs a. person s life. People will not be judged for the good or bad that they have done, but ac cording to their faith in God. It is a. question of the dominating influence of Gods spirit. Character will be dealt with as people deal with God. Man shall bo judged by the faith that is within him and not by his deeds." Aiift lo-Snxou ii u Christian. The Rev. C. C. Rowlison, of the Third Christian Church, yesterday morning preached on "The Anglo-Saxon as a Chris tian." He likened the Anglo-Saxon race to the Jews, who believed they were tho chosen people of God, in that they are en dowed with faculties superior to any other race. He said the persistency with which the Anglo-Saxon seeks to force his ideas of law, government and Christianity upon others, to make tnem believe as he does, is nis predominating cnaracteristic. He llustrated this characteristic bv re ferring to Charlemagne, who surrounded the recalcitrant forces with his army and forced them to submit to baptism at the hands of priests, ihls was a drastic meas ure, he said, but at the time and on ac count of the resistance encountered by peaceoie missionaries, it was necessary. This spirit, he said, has asserted itself along the line of the entire history of the Anglo-Saxon race, but it was ever for the betterment of civilization. Following the precendent set in medieval times he said the Anglo-Saxons In the last century and a half nave been engaged in driving out the French and Spaniards and establishing Anglo-Saxon rule Instead of monarchical and despotic government. This showing Is apparent in the attitude the Anglo-Saxons bear toward Australia. India. Africa, Cuba, Porto Rico, tne rniuppine islands and now China. The Objection Combated. Rev. Lewis Brown, of St. Paul's Church, last night used for his subject and text the fortieth verse of the fourteenth chapter of First Corinthians: "Let all things be done decently and in order." This text was specially applied in discussing the form of worship of the Episcopal Church. He said there are some objections made to the church on the ground that there is too much form about it; that the method of worship is too different from others; that the form does not carry with It tho strength and power or impromptu ceremony. This. he said, is an erroneous Impression. The idea of form, as explained by the ministerwas to bring about a closer and more uniform relationship among members of the church, and to educate them in religious worship. He said where the form book is used the people are better read, better learned and have a better understanding of religion. 'I he lorm dook encircles the globe. he said, which makes it possible for all to worship at the same time and in the same manner. Ilev. T. J. Villen Sermon. The First Baptist Church was again crowded last night when the second illus trated sermon on Bunyan's "pilgrim's Progress" was given by the pastor, Rev. T. J. Vlllers. About twenty illustrated views of the story were presented, carrying the traveler from the wicket gate to the eross. The outlines of the story were given, to gether with comments connecting them with llible passages. A number of sonirs. illustrated by use of the stereopticon, were sung by the congregation. The words of the songs and the pictures seemed to have a stimulating effect and the increase in vol ume of sound over ordinary occasions was particularly noticeable. The series will be continued each Sunday evening for four weeks. STILL FIGHTING. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) goods, coupled with the suggestion that it is likely to pass permanently under Russian control, adds to the interest of these figures. The official figures of the Chinese govern ment scarcely seem to justify some of the estimates which have been made regarding the value of the commerce of this particular section of that country. Its population 7.5o,eo0. is less than 2 per cent, of the total population of China, and its density of popuuaion aoout twenty per square mile, against an average of about three hundred per square mile In what Is ordinarilv known as "China proper." Manchuria being usually classed as a dependency and not a part of the compact, central territory known as the eighteen provinces, or China proper. The single treaty port through which for eign commerce t nters Manchuria Is the port of New-Chwang. Its total imports "from fureign countries and Hong-Kong ' In lx the latest date for which figures are avail able, were valued In the official returns at .27LUS3 Haikwan taels, and Its imports of foreign goods brought from other Chinese ports IO.J.06,413 Haikwan taels. making the total value of foreign goods received during the year 21.M3.IM Haikwan taels. or $13.l7l.3o", the valuo of the Haikwan tael being of ficially given at the date of the isruaiue uf the report in question at 3 cents. American gold, at the average sight exchange on New York. The total imports into all China In the same year amounted to DVl.TlS.fVj Haikwan taels. or $lW.2i.Cw, making the total value or imports or rortlgn goods Into NewChwang, either direct from foreign coun. tries or from Chinese ports, less than 10 per cent, or tne total imports of foreign 00(14 luto China In that year. In cotton

goods and kerosene oil. however, the Amer

ican producers are, according to the report of the customs officer in charge, gaining rapidly In the share which tluy are able to supply of the total consumption. "The en try ot oM.S.j pieces or American drills, valued at 2jr2ZX Haikwan taels," says the report of the customs ofllcer. "shows the firm hold these goods have on the market, they having increased ten-fold in as many years. American sheetings are even more sought after, over 1 .1 " pieces having come in. valued at S.MO.'jH Haikwan taels. The Importation of American cotton flannel quad rupled In comparison with the total for pre ceding years. American kerosene on nas lea pea irorn i..o",oij gallons to -.-L-N-'.OtfJ gallons and Russian kerosene oil from CC.uou gallons to 'Jo,m gallons, though. great as is this growth, the consumption Is small In comparison with the district fed; but there Is a strong competitor in the native vegetable oils." An examination of the detailed Statement of imports into New-Chwang compared with those into other ports shows that of the l.GKbd pieces of American drills received in China from the United States and Hong-Kong, 5S4.b77 pieces, or per cent., finally found their way to New-Chwang, practically all of this having entered China at Shanghai and thence reshlpped to NewChwang. Of the U." i.OTl pieces of American sheetings entering China in 1S:9 l.lOl.SSo pieces, or 27 per cent., finally reached NewChwang, and of the 126.3"23 pieces of Amer ican jeans imported or Zi per cent.. reached New-Chwang. Of the 39,?.'3,CSS gallons of American kerosene oil imported into China 2.282,Ot,0 gallons, or about C per cent., found its way to New-Chwang, either as a direct import or a reimportation from other ports. An accurate determination of the propor tion of American exports to China which finally reach Manchuria is impracticable, since the customs returns of New-Chwang only specify the country of origin in the case of cotton goods and kerosene oil. In each of those Items the value given at NewChwang is apparently considerably in ex cess of that named when the goods leave the United States or reach China, since they in most cases go first to Hong-Kong and Shanghai, and when reshlpped to NewChwang carry the additional charges of the importers, shippers and freight carriers. while a determination of the proportion by quantity of the cotton goods is impractica ble because of the fact that the Chinese official statement is given in "pieces" vary ing in length and our own statement of ex ports is in yards. A comparison of tne figures of the port of New-Chwang with those of the other ports of China, however, seems to Indicate that about So per cent, of the cotton goods and 6 per cent, of the kerosene oil sent from the United States to China and Hong-Kong find their way to Manchuria. The value of cotton goods from the United States to China and Hong-Kong in 1S03 was Jlo.33S.l2), and, assuming that 30 per cent, reaches Manchuria, would give the value of our exports of cotton goods to Manchuria at $3.101,53!). The value of kerosene oil exported from the United States to China and Hong-Kong in 1S09 was $3,038.467. and, assuming that 6 per cent, of this reaches Maichuria, would give $23.i0S as the exports of American oil reaching that territory. The other exports from the United States to China and Hong-Kong, exclusive of cotton goods and kerosene oil, amounted to $.S,7L'f.77. of which it is esti mated that less than $2,0fk).0C0 reached Manchuria, making the total value of our ISM exports to China and Hong-Kong which reached tho markets or Manchuria aoout r.0..0oo, or 22 per cent, of the total of $23.013.013 exported from the United States to China and Hong-Kong in that year. DECLINE IN ZINC Held to He It eHponnible for Fallnre of International Company. NEW YORK. March 10. John Grant Ly man to-night sent out a statement explaining in detail his connection with the International Zinc Company, owning mines at Joplin, Mo., which recently passed into the hands of a receiver. Mr. Lyman, after reviewing tho formation of the firm of Joshua Brown & ; Co., said that the winding up of the affairs of Joshua Brown ft Co., and the closing of their of fice in last December, was directly due to their own heavy Investments in the shares of the International Zinc Company, and losses in connection with the same. He says the reported earnings of the mines wero carefully examined by a firm of chartered accountants and certified as correct. He also states that every dollar which should have gone to the International Zinc Company was paid to it. In conclusion, he cites the fact that when the company was brought out, zinc sold at a price yielding $10 per ton prolit, whereas it now barely yields t2, a decline so serious that none but the most favored companies have been able to survive. PLAGUE MOTS. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) was Inactive. A leading feature of the week was the number of municipal loans announced for early subscription. Dresden's loan of 13.UW.G00 marks at 4 per cent, is to be subscribed on March 11, the subscription price being 101. CO. Among foreign rentes, Turkish. Portuguese and Mexicans were sold for realiza tion, and Ausfrlans and Argentines were in good demand. Among American railroad securities, only the Canadians attracted buyers. There was lively speculation in Trans vaal certificates, owing to the reported negotiations between Lord Kitchener and General Botha. On the London Exchange. LONDON, March 10.Rusiness on the Stock Exchange last week was almost stagnant, pending an announcement of the budget proposals and the receipt of definite news from the seat of war. Such few dealings as were reported indicate a more favorable tone, but the dearness of money prevents any recovery. In investment securities there has been much profit taking, with a view to the settlement. The American market opened weak, with general im portant upward movements, but subsequently became unsettled and closed irre gular. There was a rurther general rise in South African mining shares, on the re ported negotiations between Lord Kit chener and General Uotha. Chance for etr Drititint ltn. LONDON, March 10. A chance was offered to new dramatists at the annual dinner of the Playgoers' Club, in London. Saturday evening, when Mr. G?orge Alexander invited the club to appoint a reading committee whose duty it should be to select from among plays submitted to them ot modem origin the one they regarded as most meritorious, promising to produce it at a matinee at the St. James Theater, under the direction of Mr. Findon, president of the Club. Mr. Beerbohm Tree agreed to arrange the cast and to act with Mr. Alexander in the performance.' ItUMsln'M llnlk.au. Pence Plan. LONDON, March 11. "It is reported that Russia Is seeking the support of the powers in a scheme to prevent sudden out break in the Balkans.' says the Vienna correspondent of the Morning Post. "She proposes that Servia, uuigaria and Greece should greatly reduce their armies on con dition that the powers give a pledge to protect their Independence, it Is asserted that the assent of Great Britain and Aus tria has already been obtained." The Report I 4ExnKKeratetl. LONDON, March 11. There is no foundation for the rumor of the death of M. Eduard Grieg, the Norwegian composer. The reports regarding the condition of his health, however, are conflicting. Advices from Copenhagen, where M. Grieg Is now staying, describe his health as good. On the other hand, advices from Christianla describe, him as ill. Dock fttrlke Looks More Hopefnl. MARSEILLES, March 10. The dockers' strike Is now assuming a more hopeful aspect.
