ADJUSTMENTS.
Grand-Russell's Comedians.

The collection of artists appearing at the
Grand last night in Paul Potter's "City
Directory" rewritten by Louis Harrison,
constitutes as fine a cast with as little to
do as it would be possible to get together
1.-THE City Directory is without rhyme
reason or plot 1t is mediocre pot pourri of
inconsequential affairs that are saved from
utter failure amusing features by the
native charm of those taking part and not
from anything clever IN the lines. First
comes the Directory Hotel" with series
of laughable commonplace. 1.-The Gaiety
Theater" with all amateur rehearsal and
vaudeville making up the second part
fails even to approach in amusing incidents
what it might with a slsiliful man to rear
range the piece. Everybody in the play goes
by the name of Smith and hence Smiths
villa is the last act, having a few summer
garden scenes.
The women are particular strong in voice,
looks and-and-and moving about the
stage. Mathielde Cottrely is the same
clever comedienne she always has been.
This is apparent from the fugitive sparkle
of her eye, occasional intonation of her
sweet voice and her chic gestures. But she
hasn't anything to do that benefits one of
her talents. Nellie Parker, with her soul
full eyes, strangely string voice and slender
suppleness engages the deep attention of
the audience, but she has to do
than a stereotpyed name in the directory,
serving merely as guide post. "Kute"
Kate TART and Rosy Maym Kelso have lost
none of their histrinoic grace or farce
comedy ability, but they have no chance
to show off in 1.-THE City Directory" The
fact that Amelia Glover dashes off her
high-kicking dance in perfunctory man
ner during the second act is not enough to
redeem the alleged network of the piece.
Side play on the part of William Mack,
the Denver pugilist, and William God. the
black janitor. is about all that prevents
insomnia in the second participating Glow
err Dan Daily and Willis Sweatnam are
bored to death to know how to put in the
time All the little clever business grows
weary from sheer monotony. A bottle of
seller or some fireworks discreetly dis
tributed might serve to enliven the per-
Torrance. However, the main object of a
play is to gather the sheckels and 1t is un-
derstood "The City Directory has been do
ing good job of that The audience was
particularly generous in it's applause which
Is a pretty good indication that 1t was get
ting its moneys worth from the fun-mall-
ers, who will occupy the boards at the

BUFFALO. n. Y, Oct. 26.-EnormouS re-
cepts of grain at this port for the past
ten days have resulted in congestion. The
elevators and the harbor are crowded with
boats unable TO get unloaded. The grain
could not be sent out a fast as IL came
in. partly because there was scarcity OF
canal boats and the railroads allowed their
cars to be scattered when comparatively
few OF them were needed during the sum-

PARIS, Oct 26.-The special delegate Of

says that the insurgent vessels are scarcely
able to move, from the fact that they are

to the dispatch referred to, the vessels COM

PEELED to remain in the lower part of the
bay of Rio de Janeiro In order to avoid the
fire of the forts, which remain loyal to the
government. The forts, it would SEEM
have already inflicted considerable damage
upon the rebel ships, and the latter no long
er dare to expose themselves to the fire of
the forts. Constant practice seems to have
perfected the craftsmanship of the ar
tillerymen garrisoning the government
forts and they are now able so soon
they get one or more of the rebel
ships within range TO drop their shells
either on board the war ships or so close
to them as to compel the latter to seek
safety in the lower portion of the bay.
This fact has given much encouragement
to the Brazilian government and a speedy
termination of the struggle is anticipated.
As IL is, reports are current in Brazil, and
especially in Rio de Janeiro, that Admiral
de Mello, despairing OF making any fur
Their progress about Rio de Janeiro, has
made every preparation to gather his war
ships together and run the gauntlet of the
forts at the entrance of the harbor with the
intention of taking his whole force south
and joining issue with the insurgents in
the southern provinces. Should this be the
garded as a decided triumph for President
PeiXoto.

In the second act the author is equally
as successful in his realistic representa- ton
of a shipwreck, sinking sailors and a

thrilling allegory of the preceding acts. A

THE jolly Old Chums' gave their first
production in Indianapolis to a good-sized
audience, yesterday afternoon, and in the
evening to a crowded house. 1t is a very
amusing farce-comedy. intermingled with
catchy music and plenty of good songs and
dances. OF course like all farce-comedies,
il does not have any pretension to a plot,
but that is balanced by remarkably strong
cast The girls are pretty and clever, the
costumes elegant, and all combined tend
TO make it one OF the strongest vaudeville
