GILBERT AND SULLIVAN'S

"
A Plot About an Egyptian Girl with
an American Associate Taken In.
NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The heavy profits
made by Gilbert and Sullivan through
"Ihe Mikado'' in this country, and the
likewise great sum which piracy of the
opera has deprived them of, have led them
into tremendous anxiety as to their next
work and its protection. Sullivan con-
suited with lawyers, while recently here,
on the question whether, if he were to be-
come naturalized citizen of the United
'ates, he would lose mis- copyrights in
England, in which case his music would

bert might still protect the words there.
and Lacy would not be available here
without the notes. That scheme was
abandoned.
The present idea is to associate an
American author in the mex opera to
sufficient extent to let him copyright the
work. AS the portions written by him, dis
tributed through the words aud music,
need not be disclosed until an action in
court against intringeTs made it essential,
II is thought that the device may rove
effective. The new piece, which by con-
tract is to be ready for production next
October, is to present the story of an
Egyptian girl, who learns that she is
descendant OF an ancient Princess and
undertakes TO live up to her illustrious
ancestry.
the fun is to arise from the mixture of
bY-gone Egyptian and present English
dress, customs and usages; the satire is
to be upon the commercial instincts Of
Englishmen in extending England's in
huences; and the plot is so far developed
that the New York cO-laborer has re-
ceived his assignment of several brief
