Preparations for Welcoming the Ilrother of the Gereimt Imierory AVIio Will Arrive .Next Month. WASHINGTON, Jan. II. The Cabinet meeting to-day was devoted largely to consideration of the apiointmfnt of the representatives of this country at the coronation of King Edward VII. At its conclusion the following designation was announced by the secretary of state: Special Amba-ssador-WHlTELAW KEID, of New York. Representative of tho United States Army GENERAL JAMES II. WILSON, of Delaware. Representative of the United States Xavy-CAITAIX CHARLES E. CLARK, commander of the battleship Oregon during the Spanish-American war, and now governor of the Naval Home In Philadelphia. There are to be three secretaries, as follows: J. P. Morgan, jr., son of J. Pierpont Morgan, of New York; Edmund Lincoln Bailies, a barrister, of New York, and William Wetmore, son of Senator Wetmore, of Rhode Island. Mr. Choate. our ambassador to London, who sails to-day for Ids post, will not, strictly speaking, have any otlicial connection with the special embassy. Thl.4 was the fact during the golden jubilee when Ambassador Hay was not even ex-officlo a member of tho special representation of the United State government. As a matter of fact, however, the United States ambassador is a very important figure in the ceremonies and is In almost every instance attendant upon all the functions in which the special representatives participate. Gen. Wilson had conference with Secretary Root at the War Department this afternoon and formally accepted the appointment of military member of the special embassy. After the Cabinet meeting it was announced that Judge Nathaniel Shipman, United States circuit judge for the Second district, comprising Connecticut, Vermont and New York, had resigned on account of failing health, and that William K. Townsend. of New Haven, had been appointed to tho vacancy, to take effect on March 22. Secretary Hitchcock called the attention of the Cabinet to the proposed leasing of the west part of the Standing Rock Indian reservation in the Dakotas and the protest of the Indian Rights Association against such action. He showed that i.l of the male adult Indians .of that agency have authorized the leasing of the land. The proposed area for leasing aggregates 1.22:),700 acres, on which about fifty Indian families reside. It was pointed out that the majority of the Indians favor leasing thir lands; that the Indians are protected fully by a clause in the lease form; that the ranges will not be overstocked and that the timber on the reservations will not be denuded by the lessees securing posts for fences. The leased land will be fenced to prevent trespassing and the lessees will be required to give sufficient bouds. The leasing, it was stated, Is fully authorized by law. PItlXCK II i:HYS VISIT. Prenldent Desire a Cordial Reception for tbe Kniern Ilrother. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. Cable advices received at the German embassy here indicate that Trince Henry, of Germany, will arrive off New York about Feb. 1. While Dr. Von Holleben, the German ambassador, has not yet been advised fully as to the details of Prince Henry's visit to this country, it is the opinion of the embassy officials that the stay of the royal visitor in th United States will not extend over a fortnight. The voyage of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern will b so timed that the vessel will arrive off New York In season to join the steamer which will bring Prince Henry, so that he may board the yacht and then proceed on to bo ioet by the reception fleet of naval vessels and steamers which will escort the Ilohenzollern into New York hajbor. The President I showing a great deal of interest in the arrangements for Prince Henry's reception, and he himself called thö matter up in the Cabinet to-day. It was too early to map out any definite programme for the reception, but to Secretary Hay and to Secretary Long were left the arrangement of details. It Is probable that when tha Ilohenzollern takes off Prince Henry from the liner she will be escorted from the lower bay down to Sandy Hook by Admiral Dowey's old flagship, tiie Olympia, or the San Francisco, which has been the flagship of the European squadron. Roth of these fine ships have been almost completely reconstructed In the Roston and New York navy yards. As it has been suggested that the captaLn of either of the ships would not have sufficient rank to meet the German admiral. Secretary Long has taken under consideration the propriety of appointing Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans as a special representative for this occasion. He is known personally to Prince Henry, who was In command at the great naval demonstration at Kiel, where Admiral Evans represented the United States navy on the cruise of th New Y'ork. Another Mission for Prince Henry. BERLIN. Jan. 14. It has been announced that Prince Henry of Prussia, on his return from the United States, will bo deputed to represent Emperor William nt tho coronation of King Edward. A telegram from the North German Lloyd Steamship Company at Bremen says the date of Prince Henry's sailing has not yet been fixed. The telegram concludes as follows: It is probable the company will t nd a fast liner not in the published sailing schedule to convey Prince Henry to New York." An arrangement has been made between tho German Admiralty and the North German IJoyd Steamship Company by which the Imperial yacht Ilohenzollern, when she arrives at Hoboken. will lo freshly paiiTted in order to remove all traees of her long voyage, and that she may'present her handsomest appearance for the festivities. German p-apers print long cablegrams from New York dwelling o; the interest developed by Pr:nce Henry's projected visit, describing the tentative p. ans for his entertainment and giving the comment of the New York press on the matter. These latter have created the best impression here. Prince Henry will arrive at Berlin next Thursday, where he will remain for tho court festivities. American linn Conl In llemnnd. WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 United States Consul Hossfeld, at Trieste, has written to tho State Department relative to the increasing demand for American gas coal in Austria, especially the high grade product. The consul says the production of artificial gas Is advancing in Austria owing to N tter burners and because the relentless, war which is b it.g wagid against the- smoke nuisance in many cities has hd many smaller establishments to employ gas as their motive power. A statement recently published in a German k s journal to the effort that at a test made in London an American foal has ykldrd l.lVO cubic feet of gas per ton rcsultt d in the receipt of the following message at the United States consulate from a manager of a gas works at Graz. 2.V miles north of Trieste: "The statement 1 astonishing. If it be true it would pay even in Graz to ns American coal." Consul Hos-sftM concludes by saying "that with properly directed efforts a good market can be established hero

(Trieste) for superior grades of American gas coal I have not the least doubt." An It Appear In London. LONDON, Jan. 13. The Post, in an editorial on Prince Henry's visit to the United States, says that Emperor William is almost the absolute rovereign of Europe and that this visit is th- first diplomatic recognition by a continental court of the equality between American Presidents and European sovereigns.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ll.-The second of the evening levees of the season at the White House, ths reception In honor of the judiciary, was given by President and Mrs. Roosevelt to-night.

Lieutenant Teft. of tho Twentieth Kansas, said to-night that he knew exactly who shot tho prisoner and can tell the circumstances under which it happened.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The agitation reported to have sprung up in Denmark in opposition to the transfer of the Danish West Indian islands to the United States has administered, in the opinion of the officials litre, a check to the proposition, which will operate indefinitely. Unfortunately for the project, it came at a time when the cession practically had been arranged for; t he treaty had been drawn, ami the Danish government had approved it informally, when it was obliged to withhold action in the final stasje by force of public sentjnicnt. It is believed, however, that the work already done will not be a total loss. The subject will be allowed to rest undisturbed for a while, to be reopened at an opportune moment.

HALF A MILLION LOSS

GRANITE STRICTURE AND OTHER III I L I) I N G S I) KSTH O I'D. Costly Fire nt .Manchester, N. II. Park Theater and the Second National Dank Daiuuged. MANCHESTER, N. II., Jan. 14. The destruction to-night of the Kennard, a granite structure considered to be the finest business office block in New England north of Boston, proved to be the worst fire here in many years, the total loss bting a half million dollars. Besides the Kennard, situated on Elm street, the Smith block, on the opposite side, was practically ruined and considerable damage was done to the home of the Derryfield Club, In the rear of the Kennard. In the Smith block were two banks and tho Park Theater, occupied tonight by J. Z. Little's dramatic company, presenting "The World." The fire started in the Kennard block about I o'clock on the first floor. At the time the Board of Trade was In session, and immediately a rush for the exits was made. Every one got out safely. A number of tenants were in their offices to-night, and some of them had exciting experiences before they reached the sidewalks in safety. The heat was so intense that the firemen had to fall back and give their attention to the surrounding buildings. Despite all they could do, the flames jumped Water street, and went to the Smith Block, wherein the Tark Theater is situated. The flames attacked the stage first and the firemen, from the theater orchestra and galleries, held it in check there, and saved the block, although water wrought havoc with the Interior. When one of the rear walls of the Kennard fell the roof of the extension of tho Derryfield Club was ignited, but the firemen saved the main building. The Derryfield Club is the best known social organization in New Hampshire. Much other adjoining property was considerably damaged by fire and water. The cause of the fire is believed to have been due to new electrical connections. The chief figures of loss are given as follows: The Kennard, $250,v.'0; tenants, SJüu.OM); Smith Block. $20.fluQ; tenants, $10,000; Derryfield Club, $tn.0O0; other property, $10,000.

DESERT BOOTH'S ARMY. 3Ir. and 31 rs. Ilooth-Clihhoru and Percy Clibborn Join Dorvleites. LONDON, Jan. 14. The Central News learns that, owing to grave doctrinal differences, General Booth's son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Booth-Clibborn, and Percy Clibborn have resigned from the Salvation Army and joined the church of John Alexander Dowie. According to the Dally Mail Mr. and Mrs. Booth-Clibborn had many communications from John Alex Dowie. while the latter was in England. They demanded the right to preach the Dowie doctrines of faith healing while remaining in the Salvation Army. This demand was refused by General Booth, who sent his most trusted lieutenant to Holland to win him back, but in vain. The formal resignations of Mr. and Mrs. Booth-Clibborn reached the London headquarters cf the Salvation Army last Sunday. The leaders of the army say that their secession from the army will not cause a serious split In that body as hardly, any Salvationists are followers of Dowieism. A Virginia Opportunity. Washington Times. "With so much waste land in Virginia it Is a great wonder that, men of means do not utilize more of it iit the establishment of game preserves." said Mr. C. L. Campbell, of the Old Dominion, at the Riggs. "I have studied the matter somewhat, and am satisfied that the raising of wild game in some of the counties contiguous to Washington could be carried on so as to combine pleasure with profit. One could take a tract of 1,500 or 2,000 acres and breed deer, antelope, pheasants, grouse, quail and many other varieties that would find ready markets. Venison .Is worth 50 cents a pound, and there ought to be splendid profits In a well-managed deer preserve in this region, so well adapted to that animal. There is in the big cities of the East a demand for game that is constant, and for the man who will go into the business of supplying it a fortune is in store." Development of 3Iex.Ico.

Employes of the Empire Have Been Selling- Door Check An Incident nt the Grand. For many weeks persons passing Wabash street, either at Pennsylvania or Delaware streets,- have been accosted by boys who would usually first ask: "Going to the Empire?" To those who would stop or give answer the lads would state that they had tickets for sale cheap. Those who had enough faith in the statements of the boys bought door checks for 5, 10 or 15 cents each,, instead of paying 25 cents at the ticket ollice. Last night. Manager Zimmerman called the attention of Patrolmen Morgan and Tope to a young man who, he said, ho had reason to believe was teallng and selling tickets. He was Raymond Fields, of 325 North East street, who had been employed about the house and who had at times sold song books in the place. Mr. Zimmerman's attention was called to the theft of tickets by observing that the same persons witnessed several times a week' the same performance. Some of them he saw at every performance. Y'oung Fields, when questioned, denied his guilt for a long time, but finally admitted that he had been stealing door clucks. His confession implicated several of the employes of the house. He said the head ushed had regular customers to whom he sold door checks every Monday. Fields said this head usher had warned him not to sell tickets to his customers. Fields intimated that some of the emploj'es were in a pool an dthat the proceeds of the check sales were divided equally. Fields said the doorkeeper permitted them to go into he cloakroom, where the checks were kept, and tlTey had no trouble whatever in getting all the clucks wanted. They got ever, more than they wa re able to sell. The officers locked Fields up and charged him with petit larceny and with loitering. While they believe there is an organized t fl'ort on the part of the employes of the theater to defraud the management, it is not thought, from the investigations made last night, it is of such proportions as was indicated by Fields's confession. About the time of the arrest of Fields at the Empire Theater, Auditor Schafer Zelgler, of the Grand Opera House, went from the main lloor to the balcony of the Grand. At the ton of the stairs he was met by a young man who was acting as usher. He asked Zeigler If he wanted a seat and volunteered to find one for him. Zeigler thought the young man was doing nicely for an employe until a remark indicated that the uher expected money for his trouble in getting the seat. The usher, who was employed to find seats for patrons of the house, was trying to make a little extra money by charging patrons for the service for which the theater management paid him. Mr. Zeigler carried the young man along, following him elown to the seat which he had so accommodatingly found, to the point of giving up the silver quarter which the usher wanted. Zeigler then asked him to go to the ofTice with him and there he was discharged without ceremony. A friend of the boy, after being told the story, said: "Well, didn't you know him?" "What's the matter with you?" asked the boy just discharged: "do ycu suppose I'd go up against one of tho managers of the house if I knew him?" Army Reorganization Needed. Salt Lake Tribune. The word from Washington is that no till for the reorganization of the army will be passed at this seslon.

De Onzo Brothers' Company, variety, 2:15 and &:13 p. m. Irving and Terry's Second Evenln. There is no long future for the horrorplay of "The Bells." in which Henry Irving fascinated an audience at English's last night. When that great actor quits it "The Bells" will pess away. It is a contradiction in the drama of continental Europe to-day, and it will be that in the drama of England and America to-morrow. For it is being discovered that there are natural ie-rver-sions on every hand, real psychologic catastrophies of common life that demand attention now and must take their rightful place over fictitious madness. The many persons that shuddered at the terrible, uncanny predicament of Mathias last night and could not answer to themselves afterward what it had profited them, will, in the time to come soon, see on tbe stage equally and more fearful grotesejueries which they will understand to be the miserable lot of fellow-human beings, whose maladies demand a cure. Ibsen, Bjornson, Hervieu to name three playwrights are insisting that tha true horrors that they point out take precedence over bogles, and more and more the world is attending to what they say. It had taken many years for Henry Irving to perfect the spell of "The Bells." and his cleverness is apparent in the circumstances of Mathias as well as in himself. The plav was written by two novelists, collaberateurs, Erckmann-Chatrlan. and translated into English by Leopold Lewis. The great remainder of the work that went to make the finished product was Mr. Irving's. Mathias was no ordinary man. He was intelligent and forceful. He kept an inn in Alsace, and when his business was on the verge of ruin, he murdered a traeier and robbed his body of the gold that was bound to it in a girdle. He destroyed the corpse in a lime kiln. For fifteen years he prospered. He loved his wife and daughter wholesomely and chose a good fellow, a soldier, for his son-in-law. The prospect seemer fair. But on the fifteenth anniversary of the murder the sound of bells came to haunt Mathias. The villagers had dubbed the winter fifteen years ago "the Polish Jew winter," because the man murdered then was a Polish Jew, and his mysterious death had been the most important incident in the town's history. On the night when the sound of the belis came to Mathias two old men of the place were in his inn talking over the old story of the Jew. Mathias heard them and . immediately afterward he heard the bells. When the room was cleared, of all except Mathias he saw again, in a vision, his murder of the traveler on the snowy road that led away from the Inn. After that vision, Mathias's strength broke gradually, but his shrewdness caused him to take a room to himself, ele he might expose his secret by talking in his sleep. His night alone was the night of his daughter's wedding. An unfortunate encounter with a mesmerist at a fair added a potent Fuggestion to Mathias's already pilod-up delusions. He dreamed of a courtroom in which it was demanded of him that he explain why he heard bells when no one else did. He refused. The mesmerist was called Iii and put tot work on the prisoner and drew from him tho story of teh murder. The court condemned him to death. In the morning Mathias did not appear at the usual hour, and raps on his door were not answered. His son-in-law broke down the door and rushed to the bej-cur-tains. Mathias staggered out and fell on a chair. He fumbled at his throat and cried, "Take away the rope'." His legs were seized by a spasm and his voice was cut off. He gurgled and kicked and men lay The stage mechanism by which the vision, at the beginning of the play, and the dream of the courtroom were materialized, was skilfully contrived and manipulated, but, though their value In Impressing tho host-of-the-less-thoughtful can not be measured, it detracts from Mr. Irving' art and is a passing thing. His recital of Mathia's story triumphed in spits of the ghostly hands of the mesmerist visible above his head. Mathia's horribly unique groans, guttural cries, piping shrieks; the Indescribable contortion of his face and the twining of his arms effected the irresistible illusion. As he crouched on the floor the only light in the place was on him. and powerfully Influential waves seemed to bo generated at that spot and to sweep over the crowd, whose eyes were fastened on the spectacle of. the one man. Mr. rlving's acting was a convincing illustration of the uselessness of the mechanical symbolism that he employed and a sign of reformation, the reign of naturalism in stage art that is now Just beginning, and which Mr. Irving had o conspicuously furthered In his presentation of the play of "Waterloo" the evening before. , XXX Preceding "The Bells," Miss Terry was seen in the meaningful farce of "Nance Oldfleld," written by Charles Reade. Miss Terry seemed troubled by some uneasiness, but, that aside, she impersonated the generous and sympathetic actress of the story with her usual vivacity and chaming sympathy. The play has crudities so apparent that it is unnecessary to point them out, but it makes a -valuable point in exhibiting the admirable independence of one woman. "Had she not as much right to fall in love with either the younger or the elder Mr. Oldworthy as either of them to fall in love with her?" asked Nance Oldfleld. Rut she had no time to marry and at the w ish of the father Oldworthy she was willing to spoil the love that the son Oldworthy seemingly had conceived for her. Miss Terry was in this womanly, as usual, but was also a woman that might have done anything she thought her right and have maintained herself against any resultant storm. This' Impressive strength was what the audience applauded when Miss Terry acted Nance Oldlield. In both the plays of the evening the assistants of Mr. Irving and Miss Terry were fit. Mabel Hackney, who had actM as Jessica in "The Merchant of Venice," and as Norah Brewster In "Waterloo," had parts in "The Bells" and "Nance OldfieM." and she was always successful. Laurence Irving was seen as the younger Oldworthy In the Reade comedy. Last night's audience was perhaps larger than the other, and it also induced Mr. Irving to make a curtain speech. He said he hoped to play again in Indianapolis. Both audiences were of the best sort and apparently were grateful for the fine entertainment. MI Illulr In Two Play To-Injr.
