Tho Old Tlmo Circus Ih Here.
Now York, March 21. -This Is
spring, according to tho nlmnnuc, no
body has believed it until tho circus
enmo, nnd thnt happened today when
tho largest ever, Barnum & Bailey's
oponed this nftornoou nt Madison
Squnro Gnrdon. Tho circus toel:
possession of the huge gnrdon today
and after tho animals wcro stored
away In tho bnsemont the nro mi was
glvon over to tho hundreds of per
formers. Thoro nro a groat mnny
now fontureB, but tho old features
dour to tho heart of tho old-tlmo cir
cus goor, aro not forgotten or laid
asldo. This circus will not do much
in tho big thriller, but has a full
program of tho best of fonts, nnd olo
gnuco of tho performers is of a re-
marknblo dogreo In ovory not. Tho
managers bellovo tho public has been
satisfied by tho extraordinary per
formances and that a circus along tho
old lines VUI now nppoal to tho pub
lic tnsto, and has kept this thought
uppermost In mind In preparing tho
program for this season. There Is
nnot an entire absence of big features
but those to bo submitted will not
bo of an unpleasantly grewtome char
acter. Tho&o to bo submitted
will not bo of an unpleasantly grow-
Bomo charcater. Tho "Dip of Death"
will bo given, and another thriller
will bo announced later, but It It
promised that It will bo along new
and -original lines, without a sug
gestion- of repulslvencss that has
marVd thrillers that havo gono be-

Son Francisco, March 21. Pro
pared for almost anything ns a re
sult of tho graft developments the
past threo days, Snn Francisco wns
compolled to gasp with, astonishment
when it had laid before It this morn
ing tho tnbulatcl dishonesty of Its
supervisors, ns revealed by tho In
dtctmonts reported against Ruof and
Theodoro Hnlxoy. It wos given add
ed stock when In tho list of Impeach
ment of Inwmnkors was found tho
namo- of tho prosldont of tho board
of works, Duffoy, who, Blnco ho hnB
loft tho supervisors, has brcomo n
publlo Idol, becuuso of tho grout en
ergy displayed by him In bringing
tho city out of n stnto of chnos.
Lnngxlon's Btntomont thnt inou of the
highest business nnd soclnl standing,
pillars of the church nnd of soctoty
had been caught In tho not and
would bo prosocutod without meroy,
croatcd n sonsntlon almost ns grout
ns tho announcement of tho super
visors confosslou. If all Lnngdon
says Is truo, nnd thoro Is ovory reason
to bollovo It Is, In tho light of whnt
Lnngdon and Houoy hnvo already
done, thon n condition In tho munlcl
pal affairs of San Francisco since
Ruef beenmo tho dnmlnnnt power ox
ccodu tho rottenness und combined
knavery of tho Tweed gnng, the Chi
cago "gray wolvon" and tho gjuig of
looters unonrthed nnd sont to Prison
by Folk.
Reports thnt tho rescuo of Ruof
by his frlonds has more or loss col
or, nevertheless ovory precaution Ib
oxerclsed by tho elisor and,iloputleB.
Ono report hnd It nil well donned
thnt tho plan, was to forcibly release
Ruof from custody. , Thin renchod
tho oars of Blggy, and tho lnttor Im
modintoly Issued an order to his dep
uties to shoot nnd kill tho prisoner
If nn nttompt was mado to aid him In
oscnplng. This Is emphatically de
nied. Long boforo tho hour sot for
roconvonlng tho grand Jury, tho N'n
tlvo Sons' hall, in which tho inquU
Itorlal body moots, was surroundod
by a tromondous crowd. In tho
crowd woro mnny of tho henchmen
of Ruof nnd tho administration, and
they Joined In tho general denuncia
tion of tho Biiporvlsors and tho con
demnation of th proposition to per
mit thorn to contlnuo In olllco. Sen
tlmunt In this rognrd Is crystnllzlng
In tho ranks of tho foo us well an
frlonds. Schmltz's absence from
homo Inst night canned tho circula
tion of more rumors of his (light, but
tho mayor wns bo olosely wutchod
that It would have boon Imposslblo.
Ho roturuod homo soon after mid
night. Where ho had boon nolthur
ho nor thoso who shadowed him
would divulge. Coincidental with
tho mayor's long nbaonco enmo tho
authoritative annoumiomnnt thut
Honey hnd promlsod him Immunity
If ho would tell all ho knows. This
announcement wont so far as to say
tho proposition had already beon laid
boforo tho mayor.
Tho Jury convened promptly at 10
o'clock fqr an all-day sosHlon. It Is
not likely tnat moro Indictments will
bo rotujood until lalo this nftrnoon,
and poss(biy not until tomorrow.
