THINGS DRAMATIC.

Alexander Salvini has played to Birming- ham audiences several times in the past few years, but never to more appreciative or enthusiastic house than greeted him last night at 0'Brien's.
 The attendance was, perhaps with one or two exceptions, the largest of the season, and the entertainment was all that could be desired. The three and one-half hours passed all tco swif ly, and when the curtain dropped at the end of the last act all were sorry there was not more of it.
 .'The Three Guardsmen'' as produced last night is an improvement over the old play, as seen the last time Sajvini was here, and the scenery is much better. The
 scenic effects last night were splendid.
 s'The Three Guardsmen' is one of Du- mas greatest novels and teens with in- trigues from beginning to end. Louis XII is d mere tool in the hands of Cardinal Rehelieu, who uses him to further his
 own mbition and to reduce those who cross him.
 Anne of Austria, queen of France, loves the Duke of Buckingham, and as token of her love gives him a diamond necklace,
 the wedding gift of her husband, Louis. Richelieu learns this and dispatches an
 agent to obtain two of the stones from the necklace.
 Richelieu prevails on Louis to require the queen to wear the necklace at state ball.
 Richelieu sees victory in the distance, and the queen despaics. Constance, the faith ful maid of the queen ,prevails on D'Artag-
 nan, one of her lodgers, to go to Bucking- ham and get the necklace. D'Artagnan is a musketeer in the service of the king. He
 returns with the jewels just as the queen is being condemned to death by the king and
 she is saved and forgiven. The crafty Richelieu is foiled.
 kThis is MT. Salvini's best play, and in it he is uneXcelled. He is an ideal Ar tagnan, and played the difficult parts as perhaps no other man could. Whether making love to tho pretty Constance, l fighting a duel or in the service of his queen his playing of the part was mag | nlfcent. At the end of each scene he was | repeatedly called before the curtain. | The support was superb, every character l being splendidly acted. Athos, Porthas l and Aramis did not suffer in the hands of William Redmund, Elmer Delamater and l Paul Cozenenve. Ben Johnson was ex- l cellent ss the willy, intriguing Rchelieu. l Miss Maud Dixon is clever little actress
 and as Constance thoroughly delighted the l audience. The other two prominent char acters were Miss Eienor Moretti as Anne of Austria and Miss Augusta DeForrest as l Lady DeWinters. They are both clever actresses.

The fighting began at 10 o'clock in the morning. Both divisions had en- tered the city by noon. Part of the enemy had fled to Yngkae, but the greater part still occupied the houses and streets and obstinately resisted the Japanese troops. The street fighting was desperate, but the Japanese won their way gradually. The Chinese left behind 1880 killed and wounded, 500 prisoners, eighteen guns and banners and provisions.
