London. Oct. 14.—The Japanese
government has issued a denial of the
alarmist rejicrts of the immnience of
war with Russia, in a dispatch from
Tokio, dated yesterday, and sent to
the Japanese minister* abroad. It
says: ,
"The negotiations concerning Man-

Is no reason to anticipate a rupture
between Japan and Russia. The alarm

THINGS THEATRICAL.
Alwayn Interesting. Klchards & Pringle’s
Minstrels Next Wednesday Night.
Miss Eva Mountford’s presentation
of “When Her Soul Speaks’’ at the
Star Theatre last Monday evening
was a most pronounced success from
an artistic standpoint. The play is
not one that appeals to the frivolous,
and it can hardly be said that there
was a comedy vein in it. But the
acting was good, in fact splendid. At
times the leading lady, Miss Mount-
ford, would rise to heights of elo
quence and display undoubted dram
atic ability, The entire company
was good, Mr. Elmer Grandin being
especially strong as “David Danger-
field,” the minister.
In ail the long years that Richards
k Pringle’s Famous Georgia Minstrels
have been before the public, they
have never offered such a strong array
of talent as the one that makes up
this season’s organization.
They bring many new people, acts
and novelties this year, only retain
ing from last season those that
‘‘made good” with the public and
press.
The scenery used in the opening
or “First Part,” as it is commonly
called, is very beautiful and appro
priate, representing as it does the
veranda of the Royal Ponciauna
Hotel, Palm Beach, Fla.; the waiters
in this, the largest hotel in the world,
are giving an entertainment to the
3,000 guests. This is the greatest
minstrel opening ever seen with this
company.
The features introduced this season
are novel, numerous and startling,
and include many innovations on the
field of minstrelsy. The singing por
tion of the show is the strongest put
together—Carlyle Williams, Wra.
Garland, Wm. Goode, Sidney Kirk,
Napoleon Johnson and T. P. Jones
the six highest salaried colored sing
ers in the world.
In comedy the company is espec
ially strong and numbers everybody’s
favorites—S H. Dudley, Clarence
Powell, Emmet Davis, Bunk Camp
bell and Charles Scott. The olio is
made up of J. W. Cooper and his
talking figures; Simpson k Pittman,
musical artists; Campbell Bros.,
coon comedy exponents ; Kraton, the
marvelous Hoop Controller; Dudley
& Kelley, comedy boomers; “Boom-
sky,” In illusions; The No. 3 Toneys,
acrobats; Clarence Powell, in a new
budget of funny sayings, and Dud
ley in bis latest creation, “Jim Jack-
son, at the Policy Shop.”
The big parade takes place about
dood, In which two big bands will
furnish the music.
The gallery will be reserved for the
colored people exclusively. Seats on
•ale at Cherokee Drug Co., today.
Only three plays produced in tbe
last half dozen years have been,
strictly speaking literary productions.
These have been “Tbe Favor of the
Queen” Introducing William Shake
speare as a character, which is to be
at tbe Star Theatre on October 80th
with Miss Percy Haswell as tbe star,
supported by the George Fewoett
Company. “Cyrano de Bergerac” and
“Ulyeeee” now running In New York.
Of tbeee “The Favor of the Queen”
wae so striking In theme and In
literary as well as playable qualities
It wae immediately decided to give It
a big New York production. This
prodnotlon to be seen here Is tbe
same company, scenery and cos
tuming that will be seen when Miss
Haswell goes into New York city fora
run there.
The following criticism of “Romeo
& Juliet” which will,be at tbe Star
Theatre later in tbe season, will be
found timely, and is from the Sher
brooke, Quebec, Canada, Record:
‘ ‘Shakespeare’s great love tragedy,
‘Romeo & Juliet’, was produced at
the Clement theatre last evening by
the Simvelle company. A large au
dience saw the production and the
(•Hpibie impersonation of the immor
tal hero and heroine was accorded
liberal applause. The play has the
advantage over most of the works of
the great bard in that it is easily
understood and followed by all. It
was evident that from the orchestra
to the 'goiR’ all felt well repaid for
their attendance laat evening. Shake
sperian plays are in a class entirely
by themselves. There is nothing in
modern or ancient production that
reaches their level and the theatrical
management which is able to present
several of these productions during
the season deserves the highest com
mendation for its act, and besides,
that will do much to destroy the im
pressions left by some of the inferior
companies which are constantly
forcing their impositions upon the
public.”
LIVER
TROUBLES
“I find Thrtford'* Bl»ok-Dnmrht
a Rood merticino for livar diaoMe.
It cured my i-on after he had ap* nt
SIM with doctors. It ia all the med
icine I take.”—MRB. CAROLINE

If your liver does not act reg
ularly go to your druggist and
' Th "
jealthy secretion
secure a package of Thedford’s
Black-Drauulit and take a dose
tonight. This great family
medicine free* the constipated

Thedford’s Black - Draught
will cleanse the bowels of im
purities and strengthen the kid-

colds, biliousness, chills and
fever ami all manner of sick
ness and contagion. Weakkid-
neys result in Bright’s disease
which claims as many victims
as consumption. A 2T)-cent
package of Thedford’s Black-

in the house.
"I used Thedford’s Blsck-
Drsuvht for liver mud kidney oom-
f tlsinR and found uothinR to excel
t.”-WILLIAM COFFMAN,
Viceroy, Admiral Alexieff Review*
Seven Thousand Soldiers.
'Port Arthur, Tuesday, Oct. 13.—
The review of the viceroy, Admiral
Al-exleff, on Sunday of 76,000 soldiers
participating in the maneuvers, was
the final act of last week’s war game.
This force was massed on the field
fust outside the city. They includ
ed infantry, cavalry and artillery. The
InJa/ntry regiment is partly mounted.
In accordance with the recent regula
tions. Foreigners were given every
opportunity to witness the display, and
the statement of officers regarding
the total force were verified by the
count of the visiting experts. It Jwas
also officially announced that the en
tire force within easy operating dis
tance of Port Arthur numbers 100
000 men. Two months ago It was
10,000 men. Sunday’s spectacle dem
onstrated that the reports regarding
reinforcements arriving in Manchuria
h*a underestimated the real increase.
Th® army assembled Sunday was great
er than the Pekin diplomats believed
Ruasla'e entire force In Manchuria to
be. Officials here are taking pains
to advertise Russia’s strength and
proclaim that the maneuvers are in
tended as an object lesson. Admiral
Alexieff, speaking to an American, of
ficial. said;
“War would be a great calamity.
Here we believe that the best way
to prevent It would be to strengthen
ourselves, as much as possible. There
fore we here left no steps untaken
for that purpose.”
The details of the maneuvers were
kept secret, but the correspondent of
The Associated Press learns that the
landing of forces at Talien Wan bay
were repulsed. It is reported that the
attacking army broke through Port
Arthur’s defenses at the three points.
Two battleships and two cruisers are
on their vay here from Russia. When
they arrive Russia’s naval force on this
station will be stronger than Japan’s,
according to the views of the Rus
sian officer*.
Anticipation of war is at a feverish
heat in the army and navy, but this
Is based entirely on the activity of the
preparations visible everywhere.
The higher officials believe that
Japan has been over-awed by the
demonstration of Russia’s power.
No step* towards the evacuation of
Manchuria have been taken. The of
ficial journal, the editor of which is a
colonel In the viceroy’s staff, says none
will be taken.
The governors of East Siberia an
here consulting with the viceroy for
the purpose of arranging a new divi
sion of territory, beyond the Amur in
to three provinces.
The reports that a Chinese army had
assembled in the rear of Mukden are
not confirmed.

Decision of Importance.
New York. Oct. 14.—The board of
general appraisers has handed down a
decision of much importance to linen
Importers and one which will release
many Importations which have been
held up by the same dispute. The
ruling admits “union” linen goods,
that Is, goods composed in part of
cotton, to classification as manufac
tures of cotton In cases where cotton
is the component material of chiel
value. Heretofore, they have been
classified as linens. In cases where
flax is the component of chief value,
the goods will still be classified as
linen. «
