Klaw & changers production Of In Gay
New York will be seen for the first time
in Savannah tonight. The piece is essen
TALLY an extravaganza, and as such it Of
fers a series of Kaleidoscope pictures,
in which some of the best offerings of
comedy, opera, farce, spectacle. ballet and
vaudeville pass Ia review and these ele-
ments are deftly fitted to form harmo-
nlous and consistent stage production.
The success Of the piece at the Casino
In New York was emphatic and lasting,
and Messrs. Kiaw & Erlanger send 1t on
tour with the assurance that the produc-
ton will be identical with that given at
it's birthplace. The leading lights in the

music by Gustave Kerker. is tuneful and
possesses the catchy quality. Some Of the
songs introduced are Gay New York.

EUROPE AND THE SULTAN.
No Truth i'm the story That the Pow
ers Have Reached an Agreement


London. Dec. "a representative of
the United Associated Presses visited the
foreign office to-day. for the purpose OF
ascertaining the truth or falsity Of a lis
patch published by a New York news
paper this morning, and cabled here, al
leging that Russia, France and England,
with the assent of Germany, Austria and
Italy. would at once compel the sultan to
adopt radical reforms under the joint SUI,
pervision of the three powers first named,
etc, that the British, French and Russian
squadrons were under orders to assemble
at the entrance to the Dardanelles with
out delay, and in short, that the sultan
was to be reduced to state of vassalage
After reading the dispatch, the foreign
office authorities declared the statement
contained therin to be absolutely inbound
ed. The status quo, they said had not
been changed in the slightest degree. The
powers, the authorities added, were siu
trying to agree upon a plan of exerling
pressure upon the sultan to induce him to
enforce the reforms in Turkey that mad
been promised, but it would be a lon,
time before they would think of moving
troops and ships. Still, they said, they
were glad that stories of the kind shown
them We're published as they might have
the effect to frighten the sultan into ac-
ton in the direction of instituting reforms.
The birmingham Post prints a London
dispatch similar to the one described
above, qualifying 1t by saying lit is
stated" that fleets will shortly be mobi-
lized, in order that they may be ready if
1t should become necessary to enforce re-
forms in the Ottoman empire. These re-
ports do not attract much attention here
as they are regarded as belonging to the
series of solutions of the Turkish situa-
ton which are shown to be false when in
quired into.

CALLS SEAT IN THE SENATE,
\ Vacancy Possible If There Is an
Extra Session.

q
w Extra Session.
Washington, Dec. 9.-Florida men in the
city and members of the House from .har
state say that if there is an extra session
of the Senate, their state will be minus one
senator, unless the governor appoints a
man to sit during the session. Even it
that is done, it is said that curious state
of affairs might result. The term of SEN
ator Call expires MarchA4 of next year.
The legislature does not meet to elect MS
successor until April. This to all inten-
ton, leaves a senator short for part of the
term. The governor, it is said, may ap-
point a man to fill the intervening time.
but then another complication arises.
The man elected in April will legally
have been the senator from March a. anu
will be entitled to the salary that has ac-
crued. Should the governor appoint
man, who is not afterward elected, the ap-
poiutee would have to serve without sal
airy unless the successful man agreed that
he should have it.
