of the troop's performance* says: "The en

olio business was excellent, nearly every
point made being encored by the audience,
llie local hits were humorous and were well
received. The cottonfleid belles and silver
shower cloggists were equal to anything in
this line ever produced In Salem. The dis
cipline of the company was excellent, the
members playing together well, and, as this
is their fourth appearance this season, their
succeas with the public argues well lor
their enthusiastic reception wherever they
may go during the season.
"My Partner" will be presented at the
Opera House to-morrow evening, by a
strong company. The performance should
be greeted by a crowded house as the play
a masterly piece of dramatic work, aud
the best that Bartley Campbell has written.
It draws theatre goers of all conditions, ap

The Men ot Carondelet Ready to Lynch
tbe Rev. Jacob Schütter.
St. Louis, Dec. 6. —Since Carondelet was
made a city its people were not more in
censed than they were this morning, when
the doings of the Rev. Jacob Schütter were
laid bare before them. Had he been iu the
city, Instead of safe wl'h his stepdaughter
Annie in Chicago, he would have been
given a taste of lynch law, for the girl's
brother Fred, was there as a leader, and
when the truth was made known to him he
vowed vengeauce on the girl's betrayer and
swore to kill him did he ever return to
Garondelet. Hundreds of his friends In
dorsed his sentiments and promised to give
him a helping hand.
Since yesterday's developments It has
been found that the preacher was in the
habit of bringing Annie to St. Louis, and
after these visits she always returned home
loaded down with presents, which, she said,
had been given her by her stepfather. The
latter's wife is still his friend, and claims
that his conduct towards his stepdaughter
was wholly due to spiritualistic influences,
and that when he led her astray he was un
conscious of wrong-doing.
Officers, armed with a warrant for
8chlittcr's arrest,are still looking forthat In

Mayor, who, without taking the trouble to
cast them up, would write a cheek for the
full amount. The Clerk would draw the
money and after paying the various bills
would pocket tbe surplus. Ills operations

falcations will average $100 per month.

KALBOBK'S FULL OOXFESBIOH
Knglaud's Mediation Between France and
China—China
Foreign News.
London, Dec. 6.—William Wolff, the
Socialist, and the Bondnrands were brought
up in the Bow Street Court this merning,
•barged with having an explosive substance
for an unlawful purpose, two alleged in
fernal machines made of tin Cans being
found at Wolff's house.
Kalboru, arrested as an accomplice and
accepted as a witness, deposed that the
prisoners told him that they wished to blow
up the German Embassy and said they were
making plans for a much more terrible ex
plosion than that which occurred on the un
derground railway, and that at leaat £2,000
reward would be offered for the authors.
When Kalborn remarked that the under
taking would be dangerous they replied,
'•But we have the police with us."
Wolff said that himself, the two Bondu
rands, a police officer and a Polish Hebrew
were in the scheme. Wolff and the Bondu
rands were to take the machines and a pot
of petroleum to the embassy in a cab.
Wolff and the policeman would then watch
while the others lighted the fuse, Wolff at
the same time throwing a letter written In
red Ink upon the spot where the explosion
was to take place. Kalborn was to place
some paper aud red ink In the house of a
German. The explosion having occurred
policeman would arrest the German,
ff told Kalborn to Induce the German to
I
Wol
walk near the embassy at the time the ex
plosion was to occur.
"The more people there were killed," said
Wolff to Kalborn, "the better, as the re
ward would be higher." Kalborn admitted
that he was a deserter from the German
army and that Wolff was one of the greatest
scoundrels living. The hearing waa ad
journed.
MUCH TALK AND NO FIGHT,
Paris, Dec. 6. — La Libertt, newspaper,
says that England is taking energetic steps
to bring about a treaty between France and
China. It has authorised information which
leads to the belief that peaceful negotiations
have madc;great progress during the last
few days. It is probable, La Liberté says,
that the event which tho Government ex
pects as likely to exercise a great Influence
upon tbe impending debates in the Chamber
is not so much a feat ol arms in Tonquln as
China's adhesion to the oases of a treaty
which bave been suggested by England.
The Télégraphe says the Marquis Tseng
sent a note yesterday to Minister Ferry ask
ing a suspension of fighting in Tonquln
order to prevent a conflict which might
compromise the pending negotiations be
tween France and China.
La France says that Admiral Peyron has
telegraphed to the prefects of the maritime
departments that since a fresh dispatch of
troops for Tonquln is not expected it will
not be necessary for them to contiuue any
steps begun with ship-owners for the em
ployment of transports. This statement Is
not confirmed.
Admiral Courbet, commanding the w re«eH
In Tonquln, telegraphed from Üa-Nol, N(
vember 27, that the attack on Sontay ha
not yet begun ac<I that he waa still prepai
lng for the campaign.
London, Dec. 6 .— The St. Jame'e Gazrttl
In Its financial article, said this afternooL
that an unconfirmed report on the Stock
Exchange of a declaration of war between
France and China caused excitement and a
general decline iu prices. Nothing is known
at the Foreign Office or at the Chinese Em
bassy here of the reported outbreak.
Hong Kong, Dec. 6.—News from Tlen
Tsin, the port of Pekin, is to the effect that
the Chinese Government refuses to withdraw
modify Its claims to Tonquln and prefers
war to its surrender to France. Large bodies
of troops are continually passing Hong Kong
towards the Tonquln border.
EXCEPTIONS IN O'DONNELL'S TRIAL.
London, Dec. 6 .—Sir Henry James, At
torney-General, has written Lord Chief
Justice Coleridge, taking exceptions to the
conduct of the counsel for the defense la
the O'Donnell case. The Attorney-General
suggests that should counsel in future cases
attempt to interject statement* which are in
tbe nature of evidence, the Justice before
whom the case is being tried shall Inform
counsel that such pleading is inadmissible
and will not be permitted. Should an ap
peal be taken from this ruling, the ques
tion to be decided by the full court. Had
Justice Denman, he says, objected to the
statements made by Mr. Charles Russell in
his opening of the O'Donnell ca*c, the de
lense appealed and the full bench decided
the words admissible, O'Donnell would have
been acquitted. The lord chief Justice, in
reply, aays that in November, 1881, the
judges decided, by a vote of 19 against 2,
that such statements should not be allowed,
which decision had probably escaped Jus
tice Dennam's memory.
Tho Press Association says the woman
who accompanied O'Donnell to the Cape of
Good Hope when Carey was murdered sailed
to day on the steamer Germanic,from Liver
pool for New York,with a well-dressed man.
