Spo.kane, Wash., Nov. 5.--Tle Infor
mnUtion about the cut in wages of stb
ti TI hands is correct. The orders are to
r t uce, from $1.50 to $1.25, but action will
priobably be suspended until December.
Net Ready to Nake It Publle.
Special to The Independent.
St. Paul, Nov. f.-Vice-President
Clough, of the Great Northern, re
fuses either to affirm or deny the re
port of the cut In wages of section hands
and other laborers, though a reporter
lahbored with him for an hour to-night.
"When such a thing as that should be
made public," said he, "we will make
it public." The inference Is that there
is some truth In the report.
SALVN1'S GREAT NIGHT.

Young Tragedlan.
Such an audience has seldom been
gathered in the opera house as that
which went to see Alexander Salvinl
last night. Every seat on the lower
floor had been taken and many were
glad to have accommodations reserved
In the gallery. That part of the build
ing was also packed. The play was
"lDon Caesar do ttazan." and the de
lightful old Spanish romance was cer
tainly never better handled than it was
by the young tragdillan last night.
Fronm the gointg up of the curtain till
the last drop the immense audlence was
delighted and manifested its feeling by
freqiuent rounds of applause. Nalvlnl
is a Ilnitsheid actor. with all the graces
of form and feature necessary to a per
fect rendition of the romantti character
If Don Caesar dte Itazan. The support
ing company were all artists. and the
stage settlngs the most perfect ever
seen in Helena.
