Mrs. A. NJ. Kirk.
Little Maids of the Palace. ~" Anna u Lape
Kings Pages, Masters Sharpe and Ripley
The hall was very we'll filled on
both evenings. and in consideration
of the large number of performers,
the many details required to be look
ed after, and the short time for drill
and preparation, the representation
was certainly a very successful one
for amateurs. The Queen carried
herself quite royalty as we'll as grace
fully, and His Majesty was as usual
on time to fraction; A. N. Kirk
made a decided shit as Hannah:
Mordecai became his sack cloth and
ashes well; Hagai's solo with the
accompanying chorus was the gem Of
the evening: Zeresh both sang ard
acted her difficult part very nicely.
In short, the Jews and Persians each
and every one individually distin-
guished themselves either by voice
or appearance, or both; and when ST.
lence reigned and the stage was de-
serted gilt stars and tinsel ornaments
strewed the late scene of their trans
tory glory like the leaves Of autumn.
The total receipts of the two eve
nings were Sl35.S5; the expenses
were s63.4o, leaving s.245 net pro-
ceeds. As the net amount above
eighty dollars was to 60 into the treas
ury of the local Musical Society, that
organization is in funds ard will prob
ably purchase piano and proceed on
its melodious way rejoicing. Before
separating, the chorus rendered to
Prof Danf forth vote OF thanks. The
Prof. IS worker, and earns his mon
ey as well as his thanks. He went
from here TO Wilton, where he has a
chorus already organized. Concert
next week-we are not yet informed
as to the evenings.
DisTRIcT CorRT.-The opening Of
the District Court on Monday for

RUSSIAN POLICY TOWARD CENTRAL ASIA.
DISCUSSION IN THE BRITISH HOUSE or COMMONS
STATEMENT OF THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR THE
FOREIGN DEPARTMENT.
LONDON, Wednesday, July IS a. m.
In the House of Commons last night Capt. Baiihe
Cochrane called attention to the progress OF Russia
in Central Asia, which was such as to furnish her
with every facility for attacking India. lie warned
the Government against indifference to the danger
pointed out Russias breaches OF promise
in the past, deprecated Englands entering INTO en-
tangling engagements with Russia, and urged inc
siren gthening of English influence in Aghanestan
for which purpose the visit of the Prince OF Wales 10
India offered a favorable opportunity.
He closed by moving for the production OF papers
relative to the occupation of khiva.
Mr. IIanbury, Member for Tanworth, recorded the
motion.
The Hon. Mfr. Bourke, Under Secretary forthe For
eicn Department, replied that all the papers in re-
gard TO Khiva had been laid before the House.
Other communications on the whole question
of Central Asia lad been exchanged.
He was sure, when they were produced, the House
and the country would approve the course OF the
Government and recognize the spirit oil friendlihess
which characterzes the entire correspondence.
Nobody could deny that Russia had broken her
engagements with regard to Khiya. He would not
discuss this subject for various reasons Both Russia
and Great Britain ought to recognize the interest
they have in maintaining reasonable distance be-
tween their respective frontiers in Asia. The English
Government was fully aware of the danger attend
ing the advance of the frontier of either power The
Government did not think arrangement setting OH
and defining certain territory between them as neutral
ground was feasible. 1t would be sure to lead to m
tua misunderstanding. Therefore the Government
did not intend to enter into any formal agreement
on such a basis. England wished to show
that she was not an aggressive power and
had no desire to extend her Indian frontiers
During the maintenance of the present States tie
Government held itself perfectly free to enter into
any alliances, political or commercial, with
nations on her frontiers which events
might point to necessary. The cultivation oil
friendship with Afgbanstan was no new policy on
the part Of Great Britain.
