Last night THE Corsair,n Ricc's most en-
tertainng burlesque founded upon Byron's
lines, was presented before large audience
at Bovd's opera house. While the story may
not be familiar to those unaqcuaiuted with
the verses of the poet, the adapter has sue
ceeded in grouping incidents and characters
which result in delghting the average
auditor. The element of burlesque enters
largely into the work. and the characters
which are expected TO sustain this
feature have been admirably designed. In
the present instance these characters are de-
lineated by very capable people, as are all
those in the cast The ladies are beautiful
and appropriately, richly and artistically at
tired.
The mounting of the piece is on a scale Of
richness and beauty not often witnessed
The result is an ensemble worthy of discrim-
mating appreciation.

Those Mexican Concessions.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-John W. Young son
son of Brigham Young, was interviewed here
today regarding the announcement from
Lima, o., last night about the scheme for
colonizing Mormons in Mexico. He said the
negotiations for the proposed concessions
were not concluded, and if they are they will
be for five and not three million acres.
There is neither intention nor possibility, he
said of introducing the practice of polygamy
in Mexico. Furthermore, the terms of the
concession do not contine settlement to Nor
mons, but leave it open to all persons OF good
character. The colonists will be subject to Mex
lean laws. II the negotiations succeed, Young
will, under the concession, build 1900 miles
of railroad in Mexico.
A dispatch from Lima, O., tonight says B.
c. Faurot whose name was connected with
the matter, states that the contract made
with Young is fora railroad south of Deming,
N. M, and has nothing to do with Mormon
colonization,
