Mr.. Irving reopens the Lyceum Theatre to-
night with the 5Osth performance of Faust y
The eagerness to the piece is apparently as
great as if this were the first night. Really it
matters nothing what the piece is. The compe-
tition for places is due to the desire of Mr..
Irvings admirers to greet him and Miss Terry on
their return from America. The Lyceum has
been bcsieged all the week. The audience which
assemblies this evening is an audience of personal
friends no matter where they sit. That is a
popularity of Mr. Irvings relation to the London
public. They admire the actor and they like the
man. This is true of thousands who never spoke
TO him and who know him only across the foot
lights but who wish to offer him tribute both
the actor and the manager who in his time, has
done more than all Others for the English stage.

not the actors, against whom this demonstration
was made but Mrs Kendall was in tears. 1t is a
pty useful truth should be affirmed ut the eX-
pense Of delightful actress. but it was time the
British public should show that there is something
it will not stand. Yet bad as the play is, the
acting is so good that it may hold the stage for

Mr.. CONKLING,S STRUGGLE.
LITTLE CHANGE IN HIS CONDITION.

DR. BARKER DOES NOT ESTIMATE HIS CHANCES
"A GOOD REST AFTER A RELAPSE
Ex-senator Conllings condition was not ma
terially changed yesterday. Dr. Barker, after
his fourth visit for the day, said that his pa
tent was in no immediate danger. After
Friday evenings relapse he had quiet
rest. He slept most of the time, and wheu
awakened to take his food DID not refuse, as he
had done during the evening. When he awol<e
in the morning he showed less restlcssness than
had marked his condition throughout the week.
About $3.50 o'clock DR.. Barker made his first
call. The physician looked anxious. DR.. Sands
arrived about the same time and brought his
Instruments DR.. Sands dressed the wound, and
found renewal of the suppuration. which had
been interrupted for day There was only
small quantity Of pus, however though the re-
turn of the angry condition OF the wound was
certainly not encouraging
DR.. Barker went away about 10 o'clock, and
said: Mr.. Conklings pulse is now 90, temper
ature l01.2. The condition Of the patient is rs
good as we can expect / can give no more csti-
mates on the chances of life, for have stopped
solving mathematical problems"
At noon DR.. Barker again arrived at Mr. Conls-
lng's house. He remained nearly an hour and
upon leaving he said: 81 found Mr.. Conkling
asleep, but when | spoke he seemed to recognize
my voice and looked up. lie had taken sufficient
nourishment, part Of which a quart of

normal; his pulse a. | said TO Mrs. Conklins
that if the same progress would be shown in the
next twenty-four hours that We have had in tho
past six, the patient would have an even chance"
DR.. BarlSers third visit at half-past 5. He
remained in the house about fifteen minutes,
and upon leaving 1t announced that the patient
had slept but very little during the day. Pulse
and temperature, he said, were unchanged.
After his next visit, at o'clock, DIR. Barker
had little to say regarding the actual condition OF
Mr. Conlxling, who, he said doing reasonably
well, there being no marked change since the
carly evening. The Doctor spoke with some
facetiousness Of the many letters received by the
patient giving advice as to the treatment. One
amateur physician advised Mr.. COnkling to pub
an onion his ear while another suggested the
use of hot Irish potato. A third thought that
milk was not good nourishncnt, and assured
those interested in the case that raw oysters
would be by far the best diet.
Numerous kilograms were received during the
day from all parts of the country; There were
also scores of callers. AnCng tie latcr were
