ELIZABETH.
Mrs. Rousby comes from the full harvest OF her
English fame to test the favor OF an American
pubic. She certainly has no reason to regret her
reception last evening. The night was cold and
forbidding, and the theatre in which she opened
has not for some tlme at least, been associated
in the minds Of the people with any special
dramatic attraction. But at an early hour every
seat was nlled and the open spaces were crowded
with spectators. 1t was a critical audience. for
everybody In New FORK who may be said to be
anybody in q dramatic sense was present
When Mrs. Rousoy came on the stage, which
she did in one OF the earliest scenes she was
cordially received. But cordiality soon deep ened
into enthusiasm. She was called out at the end Of
every act, and at the end Of the fourth the call
was repeated three times. Flowers In garlands
and pyramids we're heaped upon the stage, and
when the curtain finally fell the universal opinion
was that our fair English guest had won a genuine,
enduring and well-earned triumph.
The play, ",Twixt Axe and Crown" partly
romantic and partly historical, is one OF the best
OF Tom TaJlor's works. The plot is slender,
ragged and lacks unity. There Is little note OF
time ana fitness OF historical incident, and In
many instances liberties are taken with the

rally occasions comment as to what course our
governments will pursue concerning 1t, and al
ready there ID much speculation connected

States and Spain, involving those growing out
OF the vtrginius afIair. The mere fact
that the President and Secretary Fish may, in
common with all other public men and the citi-
zens generally. have recently conversed upon the
subject OF tho change OF government certainly
does not justify the assertion that more
vigorous policy than heretofore will charac-
terize the Executive. or that these gentlemen
are not in accord relative to the
Cuban and kindred questions. Both these gentle
men are known to be OF the same opinion respect

views OF the President In his ofncial communica-

Is no divergence OF views between them. 1t Is
