AMUSEMENTS.
Looking For Trouble.
T he amusement patrons all over the
country are pleasantly acquainted with
ful methods which have given his stage
work a place of itself.
It will, therefore, be agreeable news
that Mr. Ott and a company of
recognized artists will visit here Tues-
day, Sept. 13th, at Hoyt’s Theatre and
aii'ord the fun loving citizens an oppor-
tunity to judge for themselves regard-
ing the splendid reports which have
reached here about “Looking for
Trouble,” the farce comedy, built
entirely upon new lines.
“My Friend From India.”
The remarkable success of “My.
Ft iend from India.” is another of those
things which demonstrate the uncer-
tiauity of the theatrical business. Just
before it was produced at the Bijou
Theatre in New York it was the gener-
al opinion that it would be "a failure.
But to the great surprise of everybody
the play made a hit and a most sub-
stantial one at that.
Walter Perkins, whose performance
of “A. Keene Shaver” the theosophi-
supported by Smyth & Rice’s Comedians
are the features at Hoyt’s Theatre on
Monday night Sept. 12.
Incidentaly Du Souchet is at work on
a new comedy for‘Walter Perkins to
be produced in the spring.
“Under The Red Robe.”
“Under the Red Robe,” the thrilling
and fascinating romantic drama by

two seasons at the Empire Theatre,
New York, playing to packed houses
upto the last performance, will be the
attraction at the Park City Theatre,
Bridgeport, next Tuesday evening for
the opening of the regular season under
its new management. The company
which is headed by Mr. William Morris
is one of the largest, strongest and

and novel stage effects are exact repro-
ductions of those seen at the Empire
theatre.
Following the opening attraction, the

Thursday evening Sept. 15, in “The
School for Scandal,” and E. E. Rice’s

' AFRAID OF THE GL'A'ss EYE."
Japanese Coolios Would'Not Serve the
Owner of It.
'A year or two ago an artist from
San Francisco who wore a. glass eye
came to Yokohama. and established
himself in ‘a. little bungalow on the
outskirts of the city.
The weather was extremely warm,
and before the stranger had become
settled he was besieged by a. number
of coolies who wanted to get the job
of fanning him at night. The artist
looked over the applicants and finally
selected an old man who brought ex-
cellent recommendations from his last
employer.
When it was time to retire the artist
took out his glass eye, laid it on a
stand at his bedside and went to bed.
The old man picked up his fan and
the San Francisco man was soon fast
asleep. He slept peacefully for an hour
or .two when he was awakened by a
chorus of buzzing insects about his
head. He looked about him and found
that the man whom he had hired to fan
him had gone.
The next morning when he went in
search of another coolie he_was amazed
to discover that no one would' work
for him. He was lookéd upon as a
wizard and worker: of miracles, with
whom it was unsafe to be alone. The
old man had gone among his friends
and told how the Californian had taken
out his eye at night and laid it on a
stand in order that he might watch his
servant at night and see that he kept
his fan in motion. The old coolie’s story
created such excitement that the San
Francisco man was never able to get
another Japanese to fan him after that.

i Our Exports to lhe United Kingdom I!-
: needing Our Imports.
Washington, Sept. 10.——The fact that
British imports'intn the United States
have fallen off greatly in the past year
while American exports to Great Bri-
ltaln have greatly increased, has been
announced from time to time during
the year, but the full figures, just pre-
sented by-thte treasury bureau of eta.-
tistlcs, bring to the surface some in-
teresting details not heretofore pub-
lished.
These show that while the exports
from the United States to tthe United
if‘Kingdom have increased 12 per cent.,
the imports from the United Kingdom
have fallen off 35 per cent.
If: The exports from the United States
to thte United Kingdom during the
past year were in round numbers five
times as much as the imports from
the United Kingdom, the figures of the
bufeau of statistics being:
Imports from the United Kingdom,
$109,138,355: exports to the United
Kingdom, $540,860,152.
The details of the reduction in our
imports and increase in exports in our
icommerce with the United Kingdom
are shown in some figures reproduced
by the treasury bureau of statistics
from the “Official reports of trade and
navigation of the United Kingdom,
which show the exports of principal at-
ticles from the United Kingdom to the
United States, and her imports of
principal articles from the United
States in the year ending June 30,
1898. compared with those of 1897 and
1896.

10 Much Money.
New York, Sept. 9.—According to a,
special dispatch received in Wall street
Secretary Gage will recommend in his
annual report the-repeal of some of the
sections of the war tariff for the pure
' pose of lessening the revenue.
The cause for this is the money strlno
gency which results from the heavy
‘ drain of money from the people and.
the banks to the treasuryzg‘ ,
In the meantime the secretary is
' making every effort to pay out as much
money as possible to the banks as an
offset to the government's heavy re-
ceipts. pf ;
One of the propositions now~"undet
consideration is the redemption. of $25,-
' 000,000 of 4 1-2 .per cent. bonds, which
were extended at 2 per cent. .
These bonds can be called in by th
secretary without the necessity of
congressional action.
The treasury department has already
relieved the money situation in a mea-
sure by anticipating the October inter-
est on bonds, and by calling in for re-
demption $14,000,000 of the currency
sixes. _
I This will put in circulation about
$20,000,000 which would otherwise have
remained in the treasury.

At thte time of
; his arrival the president was conferring
with Judge Harlan, Senator Allison,
and other callers; ; ‘ "
General Miles and Colonel Michler
[were shown into the cabinet ante<
:room, and there the president joined.
‘ them, excnsinghiniself from the other
, callrs.
The meeting between the president
and commanding general was compar-
atgvely brief, lasting about five min-
utes, as the cabinet meeting was
about to begin. It was not in the na-
ture‘of a. conference, during which
questions relating to the war were dis-
cussed, but was that formal call of
respect usual on the return of a high
official. The conference for more ex<
tended discussion of war affairs doubt-
less will come later, although it, was
said after the call that no exacfii time
had been fixed for a further meeting.
General Miles had nothing to say
before or after the call. He was greet~
ed with a. round of applause as he left
the White House, pushing his way
through the dense crowd awaiting the
review of returning District of Colum-
bia troops.
Before going to the White House
General Miles came to the war depart-
ment, at ten o’clock, and after spend:
ing a. Short time in his room at army
headquarters went to the office of the
secretary -of war. Acting Secretary
Meikeljohn was at the desk of Secre—
tary Alger and was talking with Gov-
ernor Atkinson of Georgia and Adju-
tant General Corbin, when ' General
Miles entered.
The latter was accompanied by a
member of his staff. After shaking
hands Mr. Meikeljohn and General
Miles chatted for some time on general
topics of the campaign in Porto Rico
and the return trip of the commanding
general. Soon afterwards Gen. Miles,
left tthe department and went to the
White House.

NEWS FROM MANILA.
Sword Returned to a Spanish Commando: -
By Captain Dyer.
Manila, Sept. 9.—The trouble caused
by the men who went out on strike in
this. city on account of an attempt to
return to an equitable basis for the
payment of labor, after the American
authorities in the early~ exigencies of
the situation here had agreed to the
extravagant demands of the laborers,
are disappearing.
It has become necessary to employ
soldiers to take the strikers' places in
some cases, While. in others the mat-
ter has been compromised. One
those strikes, as cabled on September
.5, caused the suspension of traffic on
the horse car lines of Manila, but they
resumed operatidnl to-day.
The recruiting asepts of the insur-
gents are causing further trouble. They .
have been impressing the. employes of '
foreign residents, including those of
the British'coneul, and several of the
foreigners have complained that the
native grooms are taking their em-
ployers’ horses and joining the insur-
jI gents.
The American army chaplains have-
instituted Protestant services in pri-
vate buildings. Such services have
never previously been held in ~the his-
tory of the Philippine islands.
The United States consul here, 0. F.
Williams, On behalf of Captain N.
Mayo Dyer, of the United States crui-
ser Baltimore, has returned to Gen-
eral Miranda. the sword, which the
latter surrendered to the American of-
ficer at the capture of Corregidor is-

“Senor Silvela (the leader of a. sec-

as soon as the Chamber adopts ,the
peace bill. a
General Polavleja. has handed a cop .-
of his manifesto to the reporters, but
the censor forbids its publication. He
also forbids its transmission by tele-p;
graph. It is probable that the general
will attempt to read it to-day in the
Cortes, and it is certain that if he
does so attempt the government will
stop him and insist upon a secret ses—
sion. -
The Republican, Cat-list and-Dissi-
dent Conservative deputies, at eir re-
sumed meeting yesterday, decided to
continue their abstention from the
Chamber, to act together as long as
necessary and to issue a manifesto
to the country, which was drafted and
signed at the meeting.
The cabinet council yesterday was
occupied with the attitude of these
parties. The ministry decided to con-
tinue the secret sessions. - .
The council drafted and forwarded
instructions to General Rios, in the
Philippines for the administration of

GRAND ARMY ELECTlON.
All the Officers fur 1898 Chosen at tho
Emcampmont at Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, 0., Sept. 10.—The Grand
Army encampment opened yesterday
1 with a small attendance and proceeded
ito finish the election of officers. The
ifollowing were elected by acclama-
I tion:
Senior Vice Commander-in-Chief—W.
C. Johnson of Cincinnati. '
Junior Vice Commander-in-Chief—u
David Ross of Delaware. ‘
Surgeon General—Dr. Pierce of Ne-
braska. , j‘f'
Chaplain-lu-Chief—Colonel Lucas 'of
Indianapolis.
A. delegation from the National As-
sociation of Army Nurses presented
letters of greeting. The reports of com-
mittees were then made and adopted.
The friends of Colonel James A. Sex- .
ton of Chicago are celebrating his elec-
tion as commander-in-chief. There
was no unusual feeling between the de~
partments of Illinois and New York,
but there was certainly not much'
brotherly love between the departments
of New York and Pennsylvania. Those
two states never voted on the same
side of any ballot. .
The Quarantine Against Key West Raised
Washington, Sept: ill—Advices re-
,ceived by Surgeon General Wyman
yesterday from the state health ofleer
of Florida are that thte quarantine
against Key West has been raised. The
disease prevailing there has been ascer-
telned to be dengue, and not yellow fe-
ver ,as was at first feared.
Other information regarding the yel-
low fever in the South shows the sit-
uation generally to be more encourag-
ing. So far as known here no fatali-
ties have taken place among the cases
brought to Dry Tortugas on a steamer
which arrived there recently.
