was Miss Decima," an operatic comedy,
which was presented for the first time in
English OG Thursday night at the Criterion
Theater. Mile. Nesville, who was imported
from France to play the role OF the heroine,
loses considerably In public favor from the
fact that she speaks English with a marked
accent and that she simply copies the Paris
ian creation of the original role. Chauncey
Olcott, formerly popular member of Duff's
Opera Company. after making very sue
cesSful debut, was warmly encored at the
conclusion. During the play, however, there
was scene which, though very exciting,
was not upon the programme. Mingled with
the applause were Kisses. The applauders
upon hearing the Kisses red0ubled their ef-
forts, and the hissers did the same. Matters
were becoming quite interesting when
Charles Wyndham, the lessee and manager
OF the Criterion Theater, climbed over the
railing, unn0ticed by the audience until he
shouted: Where is the coward? Let me
get at himv The chief offender in the hiss
ing disturbance was eventually elected from
the theater, with much tussling and scuffling,
whereup0n the pit cheered Wyndham.

Press Comments on the Results of the Wis
beck Election.
LONDON, July 25.-The Tory press con-
cedes that the recent Liberal victories have
greatly menaced the Union cause.
The Times. commenting on the result at
the Wisbeck Parliamentary eertion. says {:
This defeat is the worst the Unionists have
sustained. Gladstone has at length obtained
an argument in support of his predictions of
Liberal success at the general election. The
reverse is not due to the popular adoption of
home rule, but rather to the Union Liberals
Withdrawing their support from the Con-
servatives. under the belief that the time
will come when they can again exercise
freedom of choice in politics.
The Chronicle says: The result is due to the
Conservative candidate adopting the protec-
ton cry. The laborers recognize that pro-
lection for farmers will not increase their
wages. They voted for the Gladstonian
candidate, believing that radical measures
had better be intrusted to the Radical Gov
ernment.
The Daily News is jublant. 1t says tn e
result is proof that the country generally Is
waiting 10 reverse the decision OF 1886.

lance.
Boston, July pa special cable from
Brussels says: 1t can now be stated authori
tatively that Belgium has Joined the Triple
Alliance, the Kaiser having been more sue
cessful with King Leopold than Salisbury.
1t is generally admitted here that such
course in case of war may prove the little
kingdoms only salvation, and insure it from
the fate of being crushed between the up
per and neither milestone. Unfortunately,
being on the road from Germany to France,
nothing can prevent her being overrun by
the contending armies in case of struggle
between her powerful neighbors 1t is only
question, therefore, whether the German
armies shall march over her territory as
friends OF foes. Purely as matter of pol
ley King Leopold appears to have decid ed
that In the latter character there is more to
be feared than in the squadrons of France e.
IL Is distinct gain TO Kaiser Wilhelm to
have the boundary line between France and
Belgium definitely kept where 1t is, and not
removed on the outbreak of hostilities
TO the Belg0-Germanic frontier. 1t is this
that renders King Leopold's adhesion to the
Dreibund of special significance.
