A GRAND Fatuous Italian Opera Singer Will Appeal* iu the Opera House Tomorrow Nigiit. ' There is to be a grand concert in the Opera. House tomorrow evening. Signer Ouido Ckeotti, the iamous dramatic tenor from the Lombardi Orand Opera Company, who has been touring the coast cities, will be here. The Vancouver World says Signer Ciccotti is the possessor oi an exceptionally line voice of wonderful power and excellent quality. The audience was most enthusiastic in its applause, continued this journal, and indeed so well was signer Ciccotti received Unit he was asked to give another performance. Seldom, indeed, concludes the World critique, is it that Vancouver is favored witli such a distinguished visitor in the musical world. Tomorrow night Signer Ciccotti will be assisted by Charlie Balagno, the young pianist. A splendid programme selected from popular and classical composers will be rendered, and if Signor Ciccotti sings up to his great reputation, local music lovers have a great treat in store for them tomorrow night. The charges for admission ore, adults 50 cents, and children 25 cents. The concert will commence at 8 o'clock sharp. The -programme ir as follows: Grand March (King Quality) piano— C. Balagno.

Perhaps, as I am inclined to think, it will begin by tho voluntary; adoption of more equitable division of profits and advantages between employers and employees, giving the latter an interest in their own earnings; but the gradual acquisition by Government of the resources of land, water, and public franchises such as railroads, etc., which have been given away to private persons and corporations; and by the education of tbe general public to u sense of dm-* to their neighbor which is involved in the Socialist ideal, but which tho Socialist himself manifestly does not now possess.

Otherwise there Is Klondike's creeks, each of whom had various amounts ol gold dust, and it is believed that quite a number of pokes are held ln the safe of the wreck. It Is .to endeavor to recover this gold-filled safe that the treasure seeking parties are being organised at the Alaskan capital. James Currle, lighthouse keeper at Eldridge rock lighthouse, brought news of tho location of the wreck, which remained a myster- from the time of the disaster ln 1897, to Juneau. He said terrific winds which had raged this winter were probably responsible for having drifted the broken hull into a position where it was seen. He stated that since the wreck human bones had been picked up on the beach in the vicinity. The -wreck of the Clara Nevada was one of the worst of the disasters to .hipping during the rush to tbe norchland. The vessel was lost the first day out from Skagway, then a small tented town, which vied with Dyaa aa a gateway to the Yukon before the railway was built over the White Pass. Reports were brought tc, Juneau which were taken to indicate that she had blown up, and Douglas White, a well known newspaper correspondent, who was travelling north on the islander, investigated the circumstances on landing at Juneau, He hurried south and telegraphed the first news of the wreck and loss of life from Nanaimo As an odd coincidence this -was the third wreck lie hail returned to report. White wos sent north by the Hirst newspapers, and travelled by the steamer Mexico, which struck a rock and'was wrecked. He hurried south with details of the occurrence, which was not marked by loss of life, and went north soon afterward ln the steamer Corona, which wns alao -wrecked.' He camo south to telegraph the news and returned on the steamer Island, arriving at Juneau ln time to learn of .the loss of the Clara Nevada. The vessel waa owned by a Portland company organised tn the early da}-, df the Klondike rush and while the concern had olllces at Seattle, and the different points at which the steamer called there waB little of the system that at present characterises the steamboat business. For that reason there was no list of the passengers and no one has ever found out definitely who the passengers were cn the fateful vlyuge. Tholr number haa been placed at from thirty to sixty five. ♦ CRUISER RECEIVES ORDERS BERLIN, March 10.—The German admiralty, upon the request of the foreign office, has ordered the cruiser Bremen whloh Is at present at Curacoa, to go to Port au Prince, Hayti, where .he Is to be at the disposal pi the German Minister lor the protection ol German subjects and other foreigner..
