MM. James Brown Potter's New Play.
LONDON , Auztist 13. [ New York Herald
Cable Special lo the BEK. | Additional In
terest was last night given to Mrs. James
Brown Potter's appearance In her new play
by the publication yesterday of a cable extract -
tract from a New York society journal to the
tlfcct that the domestic broach between Mrs.
ind Mr. Potter was final , and that ho was
relegated to the lonely condition ot Mr. Lily
Langtry and Mr. Violet Besaudu. The
rumor also was prevalent In London that
In futuio Airs. Potler would play
under the name of Cora Urquhart
Potler. This evening's audience found
that again she had selected a bad play , In fact
worse than either "Man and Wife" or "Civil
War. " It Is ono In blank verse , written by a
lady under the pseudonym of Uoss Nell , and
who throughout the evening sat In the front
orchestra stall under the escort of James
Davis , editor of the Bat. The audience filled
the boxes , stalls and dross circle , but the pit ,
top tier and gallery wcro prudently thin. Tc
be sure , . fashion U out of town , bu
the American colony was sparsely
represented and the only notable American !
present were Murat llalstead and Senatoi
Hawley , who from modest seats In the bach
dress circle , watched the play and drank in
qulcr draughts of Spanish history. The
drama proved to bo of an old time model of
the days when 1. P. Cook played In London
and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Wallack. Jr. , In New
York , when "Lovo's Sacrltice" and the
"Foundling of the Forest" were the Joys o :
ourgrandfcUhors. It Is called "Loyal Love"
and scorns of no country or period.
It has no uudcr plot and Is not lightened bj
any humor or low comedy. It is filled with
stock phrases of the pump-handle school
such as "Methlnks , " "Oh , say not so , " "Whj
comes ho not ? " "Thou wrong'st thyself , "
etc. How It passed Chamberlain Is a mys
tery. 1 counted the use of the Dolly's name
fifteen times , and there are many such qu cs
tlonablo speeches as Ihis ono : "I swear by th t
clornal wrath of God. " Ilerelsaskctchof the
plot. A king played by an actor who in hg
uronnd face very much reminded mo ol
Blalno , has a son with the vulgar name ol
Pedro , played by Bellow , and which naino li
by Mrs. Potter pronounced "Peed. " To the
latter lady , named Inez , ho la secretly mar
rlod , but his rank is unknown i
her. The king has n minister will
the traditionally villainous naino of Gnu
zales , who hates Bellow and this is admlrabl )
played by Wlllard. lie discovers the levi
secret and blasts their happy bowers by de
coylng her to his castle , where ho vatul ;
makes love to her himself. Meanwhile Bel
low dissembles , but finally tracks Mis. Pol
tor out. While ho Is tracking Wlllard , wh
has her goalcr under his thumb , employs th
latter to iwlson her lover. Tuo latter , louche
by Mrs. Poller's reference to his dead daugt
tcr , administers only asleopingdraught Th
incident Is boldly stolen from N. P. Willli
play of "Tartcsta. " Bellow comes In , find
her dying aud next dead and Qonzalei
triumphant , but the populace , forcing the !
way , announce that the king Is dead an
proclaim Bellow as monarch. The gaoler ,
capital mclodratnlc actor , then with severa
"Ha has" announces his little game , Mr
Potter revives and becoming soon a
happy , while as to Oouzales , it !
oil with his head , BO muc
for Buckingham. Bellow , etc. The play
utterly devoid of dramatic sequence in siti
atlon and of concentration of Interest. It '
fearfully talky , forcy and puerile until thei
comes a few dramatic crackers In the la !
act , and Is full of plagiarism diluted Inf
dullness. In her denunciation of Oonzale
she was unequal. At one time by a bit <
rhodomontadu she raised aho.uty laugh eve ;
in the stalls and boxe ? . She posed sweetl
Eeveial limes In Bollew's arms an
ho made a capital swcelhoa
al Iho business. She drawled feirfully , bt
has improved In her pilch of voice. In stas
ease , and has much of that maronnotto styl
which belongs to tlio Mary Anderson schoo
Her millinery was astonishing. Her Ur
diess was a blush pink , draped crcpo i
chine petticoat of white India silk tulle. Tl
overdress WHS dressed with gold head :
Blcovos lo , ' of mutton , laced to elbows wit
silk braid and tassels pompadore shape
bodice orinmcnt , roses at neck an
corsage. Tito bodleo was whlto Ilk
petticoat and slurred. Her brooch was a
i\ntiiie ( ) ruby heart. She hud an antiqi
bracelet of dead gold and pearls. She wo
a wig of ugly bronze red ncglisleo In frou
and In French cell behind. Her second dre ;
was whlto silk crepe nccllgeo modern , clo :
fitting at Dark , Grecian drapery at iron
shoulder sash at back corresponding wll

was cadet blue silk crepe and Italian si

Paul JarvU andMciuleur Mali
started In their balloon llorla from La Vcl-
letlo at a quarter past 7 this afternoon and
made a very plucky attempt to ccllpso every
thing done In reaching attitudes of Iho air.
The aeronals for weeks have been In Iraln *
Ing for Ihelr perilous lusk. They have every
few days been placed In Iron chambers from
which the air was gradually pumped until by
an exhaustive process the pressure IB brought
down to the lowest that man can bear. Both
Captain Jarvls and Mallet have trained
thctnaelvcs to such a point that they are ablu
to continue breathing when tlio mercury
stands at seven Inches and both feel confi
dent of Doing able to reach an atllludo ot
seventy-seven miles and live to tell
the tale. As early as 3 o'clock this
afternoon about 100 persons arrived
at la Vllletle Ei\s Warms. Among the
crowd I noticed Messieurs Mossenct Dcepont ,
president of the Aeronautic society of Franco ,
and Colonel Leinat , dclciralo from the Aero
nautic society of Washington. At about 6
o'clock the balloon , which was named the
llorta , after Guy do Maupesant's now novel ,
began to swell out Its sides and look some
thing like a balloon. Captain Jarvls , who
, ls an active , wiry , determined looking man
of shiny shallow complexion , black eye
brows and blacK beard , then appeared from
thu tent where ho had been sleeping
during the night , and put Into the basket
of the balloon three aneroid barometers ,
two hygrometers , an electroscope , a
compass , Iwo glass baleens provided with
vacuiii destined lo receive samples of air let
In at different attitudes and two plulo-
graphlc instruments , all of which wcro well
sealed carefully with the seal of the Figaro
newspaper , under the auspices and at the
expense of which the ascension was under
taken. Captain Jaivls then put Into the
basket two little while pigeons and two llttlo
yellow guinea pig. Al half-past 5 M. Marj ,
member of the Instllulo of France , raado a
mlnuto examination of Captain Jarvls'
physical condition and wrote down his pul
sation , which was 95 , respiration S3 dyna-
inometerlc pressure , which was 40 , 33
and 34 in the left hand and 83 , 40
and 35 in the right hand. At C o'clock
the three small balloons , containing 1,200
litres of pure oxygen , were tied to the edge
of the basket , and 400 kilogrammes of sand
ballast were atlached to the ballot. At 7
o'clock M. Mallet , a tall , fine-looking blonde ,
with blue eyes and reddish moustache.
Jumped Into the balloon and all ready to get
under way. Both Jarvls and Mallet wore
whlto duck trousers , navy blue flannel
jackets and caps , and stuffed cotton
in their eari. They looked plucky and
determined. The weather was fine aUd
clear. In reply to my inquiry , Captain
Jarvls said : "This is ray two hundred and
fifteenth ascension. " Then In a ringing
voice he shouted , "Let go , " and at fourteen
minutes past 7 the Horla rose slowly and
gracefully. Everybody waved their hats and
shouted good bye. "Morel , " came the reply
from Jarvls and the balloon took a turn to
wards the northwest , then towards the
northeast , and in twenty-live minutes was
invisible.

PAIHS , August 13. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to the BEE | The dog days
are over. Cool northerly breezes , steady
temperature 34 degrees centigrade with
blight Septomber-llko weather seem to reign
supreme , and Paris , although deserted , Is
still delightful. Not a minister or a do puty ,
nor scarcely a politician , * remains behind.
General Ferron , minister of war , Is , however ,
at Fotalnblcau , working like a Trojan at
his project of adding nine cavalry and eigh
teen Infantry regiments to the lighting
strength of the French army. General
Ferron is a tall , line-looking man , with
grizzled hair and moustache , lie is quite ns
handsome and dashing looking as his fa
mous predecessor. General Ferron is rapidly
winning golden opinions everywhere by the
earnest , unostentatious perseverance wllli
whicli ho goes about his work. Besides being
very popular in the army he has the firm sup-
portof all modern republicans , royalists and
imperialists , and especially the latter , whoso
convictions that General Boulanger is. aftei
all , merely a sort of a French "Buffalo BUI , "
have not weakened by the publication ol
. General Boulanger to Madam Katkolf ana tc
11 half a dozen poisons In Russia and Franco.
It Is largely owing to thu dignified atllludo
of General Ferron that the ministry has foi
the moment the support of the nation and
pleases everybody except the extreme radi
cals of Paris , Lyons and Marseilles , while
abroad it has the good wishes of all the sov
ereigns of Europe from the pope down t <
the prince of Monaco.

In case of need , to do without her corset , i

Troops Ordered to Utonwood.
DENVER. Col . .August 13.-Spoclal | Tele ,
gram to the BEE.J No news has been re
ceived from Meeker to-day , and so far as can
bo learned the situation there with regard an
outbreak Of the renegade Whlto Uivor Utcs
headed by old Colorow , remains the same as
when the scene closed last night. Eirly this
morning , Governor Adams Instructed the
assistant adjutant general to order Captain
Goslln's company to proceed at once from
Aspen to Glenwood Springs , to bo ready for
any emergency that may arise. The order
was sent at oncn and a company composed
of sixty well-armed men left Aspen at 1 : ! 50
this afternoon and leached Glenwood
Springs about 4 o'clock. Adjutant General
West , who loft here last night , has already
left the railroad and is on a stage , proceed
ing toward Glenwood Springs , and on his
arrival at that point ho will lind
the company in readiness. This
small band of state militiamen
however hciolcally they may act , would bo
no match for Colorow's bundled well-armed
bucks , but thu company is on the muster roll
of the state military department and volun-
tecra can bo added from the cowboys and sel
lers , thus forming a company tlmt would
spread moie terror among a band of mummi
ng Indians than all the blue-coats the gov
ernment could run Into the reservation. It
lias been suggested that the stale may get
nto some such trouble as arose during the
astute trouble at Ouray agency , when white
men were arraigned "lor violating United
Stales laws. But the case is parallel , because -
cause the white incn at that time Inflicted
punishment on the red-skins on the leserva-
tlon. In this case Colorow Is not on any res
ervation , but Is on a public cattle ran c. and
cowboys and Indians have an equal
show. There is no longer any
doubt but that the present trouulo
began with Sheriff Kendall's effort to arrest
some of Colorow's Indians for depredations
and on Indictments for horse stealing , lle-
forc these charges had been brought there
had been other reasons for tioublo with Colo-
row. One of these was- the murder of Au
gustine several week * ago , and another Kill
ing last summer ot Colorow's sister , which
he charged to cattlemen. In fact , Colorow
and the cattlemen Imvy never been on good
terms. The cowboys insisted that Colorow's
place was on the Ulntnh reservation and
Colorow insisted that thu cowboys had no
business on the land at all. lint the Indians
have alwaj s had profound respect lor the
lighting qualities of the cowboys and the
story told of achlef who requested the Wash
ington authorities for a canon witn which
to kilt them Is as Instructive as amuslni : .
In conversation with the UF.I : rcpiesuntativo
tins ntternoon Governor Adams said : "I
shall not watt on the national authorities in
any action I may take , So far I have no
dciiulte Information that the Indians really
have committed any depredation , and I pro
pose to act with all < ? ue caution. I know
what the feeling Js onhe part of the cattle
men , and that it will not take much encour
agement to make them cut into the Indians.
I don't wish any hasty action taken. What
I have done so far I nave only done In the
way of taking the precaution which any
prudent man would take under the same cir
cumstances , lime sent the adjutant gen
eral to Glonwood Springs to bo on hand ,
and 1 have moved one company to that town
for an emergency. We will do nothing
hastily nor rashly , but I know what a nuis
ance Colorow has been to the people
ple there , and I am ready to
say that If the fellow has laid
hand on a citl/on of Colorado the stale of
Colorado will take care that ho does not def
f < o any more. I do not ask any aid from
Washington. If the authoiltlcsdon't choose
to give It wo can get volunteers enough from
our state troops to take care of Colorow's
band and of all who choose to join htm from
Uintah aeency. "

Governor of Colorado.
Tbo reservation and settler's section of the
country are badly ) protected from these
Indians. Fort Steele is about tifty miles
north of Meeker on the White Ulver and
some very rough and wild country would
Have to bo traveled by the small band of
soldiers stationed heroin order to reach the
trouble with the chances that all would bo
massacred before the journey was half com
pleted. The troops' at Fort Duchesno arc
jiractlcally powerless to aid Meeker.
They number only a few companies
of Coloiado infantrv and these conrpaules
are poorly equipped as the recent fire at
the fort burned rip 815,000 woith of supplier ,
and if thev wcro well equipped they could
not give Meeker aid In case of a sudden at
tack upon the place , as the present outliieuk
seems to be. They are 150 miles west of
Meeker , with no rail connection and the

est telegraph point is Glenwood Springs ,
sixty miles to the'southeast , and the nearest
point on the north Is Kawlins , ICO miles dis
tant. In this outbreak the only assistance
the settlers ask irom the government Is that
the war department remain Inactive , and
they promlMj. with the assistance of the row-

will all be made "good" Indians and nn

Very Llttlo Improvement Noted In
the Demand for Money.
CHICAGO , August 13. [ Special Telegram to
tlioUKE.J There are no Important nor now
features to present In local financial affairs.
The money market is gradually working
easier , though borrowers so far have not been
able to obtain any material concessions In
Interest rates. Bankers are well supplied
with loanable funds aud the demand for
money exhibits llttlo Improvement from alt
sources. Speculative paper has boon offered
with a llttlo more freedom , and oporatois
have enlarged their trading In grain aud pro
visions to some extent. Applicants , how
ever , mot with no dltllculty In obtaining all
the favors desired. Considerable money Is
being forwarded to ttm grain and cattle dis
tricts to assist in moving property to mar
ket , but this has no perceptible elfect on the
money market. Shippers ot grain are asking
for a few favors , but their demands are only
limited and the paper for short
dates. Lumber dealers are offering very llt
tlo paper for discount , as their yards nro well
supplied and labor troubles uie checking
building opeiatlons In a measure. Whole
sale merchants are moderate borrowers lo
discount bills of coeds received and they
readily receive all favors requested. Some
money was required for carrying grain at
other points , butbaukcrs as a rule arc not In
clined to accept outside paper. Hates of In-
rcrost are reported steady at OJ QO per cent
on call and CUS ( per cent on time loans ,
.hough very llttlo paper Is accepted under 0
percent. Some paper was offered on the
street and rates of interest quotable at D ( < $7
; > or cent. Advices from eastern financial
centers Indicate considerable steadiness In
monetary circles and Interest rates are maln-
: alnedat4@7 per cent. European advices
report a llttlo better Inquiry for loans
and discount rates more faverablo to
bankers. though still mainlined at
reasonable hgures. New York exchange
was In good supply throughout tlio week and
the demand was rather llcht. Sales.wero
made between banks at 50$70 ( cents discount
per S1000. and the market closed quiet at GO
cents. Foreign exchange was extremely
dull below shipping rates and gold was
ordered from Europe. Prices ruled lower ,
and shippers' sixty-day documentary bills on
London changed hands at SM.7iJ.f@t.MJ ) , and
closed at 54.70 , ' . The New York stock mar
ket was less active during the past week and
the feeling was somewhat unsettled and
prices Irregular , and for tlie most propel ties
nave averaged lower. There was rather
more pressure to sell , while the demand from
all sources was lighter than durlug the week
preUous. Outside parties were not Inclined
to do much business , and the bulk of trading
was credited to Wall stroel operators ,
"bhorts" purchased to some extent , wdtch
tended to steady the market at
times , though the rallies were
of , very short duration. Chicago speculators
are doing very lillle In stocks at present.
The earnings of the leading railroads are not
as satisfactory as reports some time ago. Ad
vices from abroid ha\e been rather encour
aging to sellers of some of the loading Ameri
can stocks. The sales on the New York
stoetf exchange for the week aggregated 1-
247,000 shueg. : Consldeiable Intcicbt was
manifested In the leading grain markets dur
ing the week just closed and speculative
liadtng was unusually brbk and attended
with more than usual excitement and iricgu-
larlty In prices. Outside orders , botli to pur
chase and sell , were more liberal than lor
some time past , though trading in some In
stances wasnnlte unsatistactoiy. More than
the usual number of "stop limit orders" was
received , and fluctuations In prices at times
were so wide that thu orders ot cus
tomers could not be compiled
with. The government crop re
port was nrespnted * and tended to
show very little change In the crops of
small grain.Reports rezarding corn and
liay ; however , were decidedly unfavorable ,
taking Into consideration the brilliant pros
pects of two months ago. though the report
indicates that the yield of each will bo about
bO per cent of an average crop. Tl.ls Is a bPt-
ter outlook than anticipated by the ti.ule gen
erally , and the Impression prevails that tome
damasre has been sustained since the begin
ning of August , when the reports wcio com
piled. Kaliis in some sections within the
past two days have Improved the outlook
somewhat , especially for grass and hnv. Kc-
ceiptsof grain have ooen moderately free at
all western markets , though the agciegato
movement Is not as largo as at this tune last
year. The shipping movement has been
quite free , both to eastern and foreign mar
kets , being encouraged to some extent by
the low rates of frelchts prevailing.
Priceo for nearly all the leading cereals
have Improved slightly and talrly well sup
ported to the close , though shippers aio a llt
tlo slow to follow anv advance In pi Ices ,
more particularly those In the expert trade.
Foreign markets have ruled a little easier ,
owing chiefly to the Improved harvest pros
pects in the leading European countries.
Stocks of now grains are Increasing , but not
as rapldlv as at this time last year. Supplies
of provisions are moderately large , though
the distribution is quite liberal. Receipts of
hogs have not been very large at principal
western market" , but the ill rivals of cattle
are unusually liberal and attributed to the
short supply of food owing to the drouth and
extreme hot weather. The packing of hos
in the west shows a further shrinkage com
pared with the returns of last year.

Fnr.MONT , Neb. , August W. [ Special Tele
gram to the UKE.J A very unique and novel
meeting wns held yesterday ntternoon after
the preaching service upon the camp ground.
It was called the "old folks" meeting , and
was devoted to the hearing of testimonies
from those who had been traveling for forty
years , and over , along the King's highway.
The meeting was led by Itev. C. 11. Savldgo
of Springfield. After a few appropriate
opening remarks and the singing of a good
old Methodist hymn , Father Van Anda led
Ina prayer , tlio tenderness of which touched
every heart. Then followed fouiteen earnest ,
ringing testimonies that bore ampleovldence
that the old Methodist lira was still burning.
Father Savldgo was converted at the ago of
sixteen In February , ls > i > . Ills parents were
Presbyterians but ho was converted at a
Methodist ie\lval In the days when Method
ists would now and then Indulge in a shout.
In the davs when Father Van Anda was
converted , "Methodists" wcro everywhere
despised because they were very weak , very
few , very wild and very noisy. 1'or a long
while he kept away from the Methodist re
vivals , but tinally went to a camp meeting ,
aud there on October a ) , ISA to use his own
language , "got low enough in the straw to
give his heait to God , and sot up a shout loud
enough to tell people all around of what ho
had done. " Hiswito was converted in 18JO ,
and for over sixty years they have been on-
Joyinz tojrelhor Iho chrlsllan's hone.
Father I'arcell was converted In 1834 and
his good wife , who still bears htm company ,
in 1832.
Father Gllddcn's parents wcro Baptists ,
but the Methodist tire seemed to get the bet
ter of the Haptist water In his case. Ho was
converted In February , 1844 , and he nas not
forcotlou how lo bhout yet.
Father Priestly gave a most touching tes
timony , referring gratefully lo tlio brightness
of the way that he has now been following
for forty-seven years. He was also con-
crlcd at a Methodist revival January 5 ,
blO.
Brother Sam Gregory came next , and
spoke of his early life in his own character
istic way that often provoked a laugh and as
often caused a tear to start from the eye of
ho listener. His grandfather was converted
.n fho north ot Ireland under the preachtnc
of John Wesley. His father was the small
est ot six brothers , and weighed 2UO pounds.
Ho was converted at the age ot six , and was
i "shouter" all his lite. Brother Gregory
Jilmsolf was converted In 1844 , his wife being
converted the year before , In 1813.
Mother NVIlcox , of Ailincton , has been
serving God or the past forty-eight years ,
and says that the journey is only growing
brighter and easier all tlio while ; the light
from the other world IB already shining
across her pathway , and Us mellow glory has
softened the lines of her face until they ex
press only an abiding sense of peacoand
rest. Her presence aud testimony was a
benediction.
Bister Wlnterstoln was converlcd August
18,184S , making forty-live years of faithful
seivlce for the cause of her Master.
Sister Close was converted forty-four years
ago and Sister Barnard foity-elght years ago.
Tholr testimonies were earnest and spoke of
an abiding faith even In sorrow and trial.
Bio. Sam. Gregory sang many of the old
Methodist hymns that have been all but for
gotten bv the present generation.
The meeting was ono that will long bo re
membered.

Attempted Train Wrecking.
NKIIKASKA Cirv , Nob. , August 13.
clal Telegram to the UKK. | News was ro
colvcd In town this morning of what was
doubtless another daitaidly attempt at train
wrecking last night. The Into 11. ifcM. pas
senger train from Lincoln , while crossing q
trestle bridge near Summit Station , nine mlled
west ot here , dlscovcied the woodwork to b <
entire. The train crossed safely , but upon
investigation the stringers and braces werd
nearly all burned awav. and the structural
was In a very shaky condition. The escape
of the train from a trlchttul wreck was
almost miraculous , and can only bo accounted
tor from the fact tlmt the train was unusually
light and had few passenger ?
on board. The freight train/- ,
which soon followed the passenger , wajJ
flagecd and was delajcd until the bridge waif
slightly repaired and then crossed In Hec-f
ions. As the bridge spins a largo pond , II
Is believed that It was purposely set on lire.
though the object cannot bo understood
unless It was spllo work , which Is probable/
Detectives are looking Into the matter.
