to great quantities of floating ice,
is being gradually resumed. At one
time it was thought that the river
would be entirely closed at London
bridge, and many persons were anX-
ious for it to occur so that they
might take unto themselves the hon.
or of telling how they crossed the
river on the ice.
Now that the weather shows signs
of becoming more seasonable, hunt
! ing and racing are expected to be in
full swing. Interest increases in the
American horses that have been
brought to seek honors on the Brit
ish turf, and their performances
when in training will be eagerly
watched.
| The week just closing has been an
| exciting politically. On the whole,
! the government, instead of having
| been turned out of Office on the ques-
ton Of the Indian duties on cotton,
| is now stronger than it was a week
| ago. To begin with, the victory at
Colchester, where the Liberals in
lItt Wy -ClCCtlOH 0uCCSSQCO Ill WISSl-A e.
ing the seat from the Conservatives
by a very comfortable majority, was
a great fill-up to the waning party
spirits, which had been more or less
cast down by the reverses sustained
in previous by-elections in different
parts Of the country. The exact at
ztitude of the leaders of the opposi- |
l. o,,I h.
James to adjourn the house Of COM
mons in order to call. attention to
the cotton duties in India would be
hard to exactly define at present |
That the motion was an. ill-advised /
attempt to dislodge the government
is very widely conceded tits alleged |
that the motion had the support of |
eX-Prime Minister Salisbury.
Some comment has been aroused by /
the speech against the motion made
by Dadabhai Naoroji, who was once
called ''black man. by Lord Sails
bury. Mr.. Naoroji is a full-blooded |
Indian his father having been a Par
see priest. His mothers name was
Manekbai. His wife is the daughter
of priest He has held several i'm

premiership to the Dowan of Baroda |
In addition, he has held the position of
professor of mathematics and natural
philosophy at Elphinstone college, and
is member of the firm Of Cana & Co.,
of London, Liverpool, Bombay and
Calcutta. 1t will thus be seen that he |
is fully qualified to speak as to the
feeling of the native Indian popula

speech that the adoption of the mo-
ton would be driving the first nail in
the coffin of British rule in India, and
in view of the ever-present far East
ern question his statement is not with
out significance.

is again very prevalent here and on
the continent. Mr.. Balfour, Lord
Dunraven, several judges and a num-
Der of actors are among the victims
in this city.
The statistics show that last week
there was a total of 2,467 deaths from
all causes in London. This is an in
crease Of 700 over the deaths of the
preceding week.
The weather played havoc in the the
atrical profession. Mr.. Irving is ill,
and is out of the bill at the Lyceum
theater. Messrs. Stoker, Wyndham
and Toole and Miss Mary Moore are
also on the sick list
DOyley Carte is mending, but slow
ly. George Edwardes, manager of the
Empire theater, is down with inf1u-
enza.
1.-THE New Boy" at the Vaudeville
theater, celebrated last night its
427th performance.
1.-THE Case of Rebellious Susan" at
the Criterion theater will see its 150th
performance tonight.
Popular interest in Mr.. Pinero's new
play at the Garrick has already begun
to manifest itself, not, however, unac-
companied with discordant notes in
the chorus of anticipations For it is
to deal with the sex question-Das
Ewigg Wei BIeiche-of which people
here have begun to tire, asking for
new themes upon the boards. The
piece has just been read to the COM
pany and has been put in rehearsal,
and. if no unlxind fate prevents, will
be produced Saturday evening, March
2.
MIR. Hare will mount the piece with
his accustomed liberality, and intends,
if possible, to retrieve the failures Of
1894. If Pinero's play is success, it
will be produced by Mr.. Hare and his
company in New York, next October.
His agent, Mr.. Helmsley,. will reach
New York today or tomorrow to ar
range for Mr.. Hare's first American |
tour. The repertoire will include the |
pair of Spectacles," one of the finest |
stage presentations ever seen in Lon |
don.
