"coMEDY OF ERRORS"

On Monday evening next Robson and
Crane will appear at the Opera House,
as the two DronioS in Shakespeare
"Comedy OF Errors" Ii will be the first
time that the play has ever been pre-.
sented In this city ,and the company that
presents il are each and every one OF
them well up in their parts. Perhaps
our citizens will remember Crane when
he appeared here with Alice Oates In the
opei ia Grand Duchess. He performed the
part of Gen. Boum at that time, aud did
Il with marked ability. He and Robson
are well adapted to such characters as
the Drom,os. The Baltimore Gazette
says of the company and play:
"The "Comedy of Errors" was played
last night to an overfiowing house, and
Robson and Crane fully sustained the
reputation they had already made in the
characters of the two Dromios. Robson's
personation of the drOil one of Syracuse
was an artistic and irresistible portrait
ure, while Crane, In the roll of his ceun-
terfeit of Epbesus, gave an imitation OF
Robson's voice, gesture and general
make up, the perfection of which was
simply marve lous. The cast Of the play
was strong one throughout. A Cup OF
Tea, with which the performance
opened, is a roaring farce, ard the man.

of the voyage of the Crocodile. In the
curse of his observations, he says: "On
September 21 the equator early il the
morning. On the following night most
courteous circumstance occurred which
would hardly be credited The ship was
stopped by jellyfish, which, shortly after
l O. clock, appeared in myriads as tor as
the eye could reach, and the tn ousands
of luminous bodies floating upon the
water gave the appearance of a scene
from fairyland. Some of the fish got into
the strainers of condensers and blocked
the holes SO that the water could not
enter, and the result was that the vacu-
um went down and then disappeared en-
tirely. The condenters afterwards became
so heated that we had to stop steam alto
gether, take off the stralners and clear
them. Three attemps were made to the
steam and each failed from the same
cause. In thiss way we were delaped no
less than five hours; but at daybreak the
fish sank and the ship was able toproceed

DISCUSSION PROVOKED BY THE ACTION
OF GOVERNOR GARCELON AND CoUN-
GIL.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE news
from Maine is still The absorbing topic
Of conversation among politicians here
The Republican members from Maine
are telling their party friends to-day that
it is a true bill, al d there is no help fol
it. Senator Hamlin is as mad a man as
one would wish to see. He realizes that
the loss of the Legislature in Maine
this year means more to him than it
does to anybody else, for it seriously
threatens his hold upon the United
States Senatorship.
congressman Murch was in pleasant
mood this morning when asked for his
views on the situation.
"Well, l haven't very much to say,''
said he, shut what do you want to
know ?" ..r
"Do you consider that the Governor
and his Council have exceeded their au-
thority In this mattef?"
"Well," he replied, 81 will not under
take to say much about that, as l am no
lawyer !; but l am confident of this, that
the Governor and his Council have con-
strued the Constitution and laws exact
ly as they have been construed by the
Republicans for the last twenty years
and know that the Governor has had
the advice of some of the best Consti-
tntional lawyers in the State all through
this affair.""
"Have you any idea what the Republl-
cans into dor"
"Only what learned of their inten-
tlons from my friends in Maine," replied
Nh Murch. 81 have received letter
from one of our most prominent men,
who, think, has very correct idea OF
what the Republicans intend to do. He
says: IF Blaine can bulldoze the Su-
preme Court into giving certificates to
those Representatives and Senators
from whom certificates will he withhold
en-, then the South Carolina game will
be played. The Republicans will not
meet with us, but will take those men
who have Supreme Court certificates,
put them at the head Of their delega-
tions and demand admittance to their
seats. If it Is refused they will call an.
other Legislature, elect Davis and call
on Hayes. Well, let them. We will
elect Smith and call on Congress, and
the result must be a square back-down
on one side or the other"
