W'.-The , report to tha secretary of Bta.tr, tilvi by' the com mission on international e&ohanrs' Oc tober 1, haa been mad public. It la 'in pamphlet form consisting- of forty pages, Including tha appendix, dealing entirely with tha Chinese monetary system, which oooupiea six pages. lj In Us summary ot results obtained the commissioners say: .' Tha representatives- of all of the powers consulted, accepted In a- general way as de sirable and practlMe . tho 'suggestion rnade by the t'oniiina.-uotier of tbe Uniteu ruates. The character of these approvals warrants the statement that the work ot the commission up to this time has been entirely successful. , In Ureat Britain and Germany there Waa an agreement upon , certain principles, which waa signed mutually by the rep resentatives of the countries engaged In the conference. The views of the delegates ut the Netherlands and of France were ex pressed In reporta discussing at consider able length the points submitted by the Amerloan and Mexican commissions and ex pressing Judgment upoa them. In Kusxia a formal statement of views was prepared by the Russian commissioners, which was ot mutually signed but was transmitted by the Russian cuinmlnslon to th Mexican and American commissions ss a formal expression af the views of tha Russian gov ernment. I'poa tha soundness-of the general prop osition laid down by the Mexican and Amerloan commissions, that the adoption of a gold-axuliange standard in tiie pres ent silver-using- countries would greatly contribute to their economic progress, there waa universal agreement st every Euro pean capital where the subject waa pre sented. There whs agreement upon the principle that euch a system must involve tha continued large use of sliver coins. In order to conform to long-established cus toms end- existing scales of value, but that free coinage of silver should be sus pended and determination of the quantity of the. coins taken under the control of tha state. In order that measures might ba promptly taken to give them a fixed re lation with gold. Upon the subject of tbe Introduction of a uniform gold standard system Into China there waa unanimous agreement that such a system would be dealrable and advan tageous -both to China and to the gold standard countries which have large com- ' merclal dealing with It. .' Opinions of Other' Countries. Tha British resolutions declare that the national currency ot China should consist of sliver- coins , made , full legal .tenner throughout the empire and that !'as soon as practicable steps, should bo taken lor the establishment In China of a fixed rela tion between the silver unit and gold." The Russian resolutions recited aome of the difficulties of beginning upon a gold basis and declared tuat the American plan "would have our approval if it were so amended 4s to mean a national silver cur rency Issued on government account, wlilh should be given as soon as practicable a fixed parity with void."

The French is port also favored the system suggested by the commissions of Mexico and the United States. , Thus, upon 'the part of nVe powers Oer ''many, France, the" Netherlands, Mexico and the .United States there was agree ment -that the best method Was to begin , the issue of tha new currency at a fixed Enid pari ' while upon the part of Great main and Russia, there was a disposition to favor beginning on a sliver basis with 1 the view of first supplying the country wlthi "a-untforrn -cttrreTiey'and Ttien ' giving"' it 1 ..Within, a short Interval a fixed gold value.

The German resolutions recited the fun damental principle emliodled In the original ttotea of China and Mexico addressed to the United States, that It waa not aought to, ef fect a ehange in the .monetary system nf the gold standard countries, and that the establishment of International bimetallism was "neither Intended nor considered prac ticable."

Tha girt paid no attention to the crowd until ' one of tha boys struck her, when she struck . back. Thla waa a signal for an attack on her by the entire crowd, which had grown. Several men rushed to aid the girl and pro tected her until a couple of policemen, by free use of their clubs, acattered the strlk era and their sympathisers. The girl de livered the message and returned to the oAc under police escort.

Vaudeville at tha Crelghton-Orpheuss. Every act a hit. That sentence exactly fits the bill at the Creighton-Orpheum thla week. It presents entertainment for a wide Variety of tastes, each number dif fering In Its easentlal features from tha others, . but all combining harmoniously, making the whole a very well balanced program. Wright Huntington and bla two associates figure as the headllnera, with a well conceived and cleverly acted skit, "A Btaniff," which tells the story of how a bachelor fared In taking care of a friend's fiancee. The comedy la excellent, and was well received last night. The Britons are back again, dancing better than ever, if that were possible, and are Just aa popular, too. Bryant and Savllle mingle aome good Instrumental music with aome good black face ..foolery of the old-fashioned sort. Charles Ernest also hides his natural com plexfon behind burnt cork before coming on to -make all hands laugh at a lot of jokes, stories and songs. Ha waa unable to satisfy the demand laat night, his "Hia watha" song being a pronounced hit. Two ef tbe best acrobatic turns ever offered in tha theater are on the bill. The Rio broth era have been seen here before, having traveled with tha Wast minstrel company In Its palmy daya. They have added sev eral new atunta to their ring work, and are doing aome of the most difficult and wonderful feata Imaginable, and doing them easily and gracefully. Tha Bchenck broth' era are new to Omaha, and to fully appreci ate their act one must see it. Apparently Impossible feata of head and hand balancing are accomplished with such grace and ease that tha beholder almost refuse to believe his eyes. In both these turns not only is Immense muscular strength called for, but the most absolute control of tha nervea. It Is not at all likely that another such an opportunity to see five as finely developed and thoroughly trained young men, working separately, will ever be offered again. Another distinct feature of the program, one that deserves more extended treatment, and Which will appeal most potently to the cultured element of the vaudeville pa trons, la the singing of Princes. Losoros. It doesn't matter so much that she ia adver tised, as an Indian princess; East Indian princesses are almost aa numerous aa Ger man or Russian. But'ah has a most pleas ing soprano voice, haa carefully trained and developed it, and la happy in knowing how to use it. Her selections are classic, are sung with taste and careful expression, and were warmly applauded by the 'large audience present at both performances yes terday. "Across the Pactflc" at the Km. Harry Clay Blaney and Ms company, brasa band, gatling gun and burro, are presenting the well known "thriller" to all the people the theater will hold at each performance at the Krug. Thla play ha been aeen here before; in fact it haa been aeen in nearly every city in the. United States during the last three seaaona, but haa not lost ita power to draw. Willie Live, the ubiquitous and JJmpudent news paper reporter, la still Johnny-on-the-spot, thwarting villainy, saving heroine, aiding the army and making snap-shots ot each and every scene and character for his "play." 'He is in on every play, never fooileS and "always turns up Just at tha ultimata moment. Willi. Is ably assisted by Madge, who contribute much to the undoing of wrong and the righting ot tha persecuted.

The rest of tha company, and they are many and all kept busy, do what la required ot them by the action Of the play In such man ner as prevrnta any .halt or lagging. ' Tha scenery is appropriate, and the several specialties Introduced in the second - and third acta are good. - The piece will run until after Wednesday evening. Baach of Keys" at the Boyd.

It la cer tainly a merry farce, of the distinctly Hoyt kind, and admits of tha Introduction of an unlimited number of specialties. Tha com pany having it in hand haa been selected for Ita capacity In thla direction, and the result waa a pleasing 'performance. The engagement waa for tha two performances only, THREE SMALL. FIRES SUNDAY Iaslgralacavat Blaaea Enough to Keep Fir Departaaeat tha Roa, Tha fir department did not enjoy Ita usual quiet Sabbath, having bean called to respond to three alarms during the morning. It kept them on tha run continually and, although no aerlous dam age waa dona at any of tha fires, tha lad dies experienced the effect of a hard day'a work.1 The large barn In the rear of the lot at IS5t California street -belonging to J. Blake McKl trick waa found burning early and waa tha cause of tha first alarm, which came in by 'phone. Tha mow waa ataoked with hay and this, in addition to the fam ily horse, was all burned, entailing a losa ot about $M0. At 10:07 tha second alarm was sent In from the Pax ton block and upon investl- gatlon it was found that a ateam conneo lion had been severed in the room occu pied by Dr. D. A. Foots, filling the room and halls with steam, which waa fast con denalng and doing damage to tha office furniture on the floor below. A plumber repaired tho connection and aside from the effect of the condensed steam the dam age waa slight. Hardly had the department returned to the respective engine houses until a third call waa turned in, this tlms being from 1110 Cspltol avenue, where a one-story frame building occupied by a family o Austrlans was found aflame, being act on fire by a spark from the chimney. The damage amounted to vsry little and the laddlea were aent home, hoping that they could have tha balance of tbe day to them elvee. THE BOWELS CHEER AND COMFORT SICK OoTrnor Mickey .

Patients and sinter at St. Joseph' hos pital were favored by two visits Sunday one from Governor Mickey and the other from Albln Huster's band, which played a aacred concert of aeven numbers in the corridor on tbe main floor. Tha 100 Inmates of the institution were delighted by botb visits and manifested their pleasure by repeated thanks. Ths presence of the gov ernor and also ot the band, came about through the Instrumentality of Frank Dun lop, assisted by Councilman D. J. O'Brien, who could not be present yesterday be cause of a business trip- to Chicago.' The concert was, with one exception, tha first band muslo ever heard in the hospital. The Idea originated when Mr. Dunlop waa serenaded, while lying 111 in the hospital with appendicitis, by the burlesque "Su ale's" band, his friend. Councilman O'Brien, essaying the psrt of the famous conductor. At that time the patients and nurses were greatly pleased and Mr. Dunlop and Coun cilman O'Brien determined to arrange a aacred concert for the especial benefit ot tha people of the Institution. Ths affair yesterday, resulted, and by a coincident, it waa tho same Sunday that Governor Mickey, at Mr. Dunlop'a suggestion, decided to make, a semi-official inspection of the. hospital. He arrived af ter tha concert was finished. Aadleace la Delighted. ' When Conductor Huster raised hi' baton for the first number his musicians were aur-1 rounded on every aide by the somber gowned slaters and as many patlenta aa could go or be taken to the corridor near the main entrance. Men' and boya. on crutches and In chairs, women who leaned heavily on the arm of nursea and friends, listened and their pale facea aeemed to catch a. glow of health from the muslo. Back of the thirty-eight muslciahs the stairway waa lined with patlenta, too weak to atand. All doors were opened throughout the building and the strains were carried to every room in the three floors. With short intermissions the band played stead ily for an hour, or until 1:80 o'clock. It waa so unlike the usual Concert that both the players and their notes Beamed Inveated with a touch of aomethlng sacred and sol emn. About them were grouped person who listened to every bit of melody with eager ears, and a glance at their brightened eyes was inspiration enough for any mu sician.
