ADJUSTMENTS.

The performance was somewhat de-
layed last evening at the Metropolitan
because of the failure of the electric
lights for an hour. In the meantime
resort was had to lighting the stage
with candles, after the fashion of the
old times, and greatly to the amuse
ment of the large audience. The Ellie
ford company presented Mr.. Barnes
of New York" a melodrama with a
very lively comedy vein. 1t was well
played-quite as well as when it was
given here some years ago by a far
more pretentious company. The Dan
ella of Mr.. Scott we place foremost in
the work of the evening because it
showed the finest appreciation of the
demands of the role That is highest
art which approaches most closely to
nature. In the dramatic field art can
not improve upon nature Every at
tempt to do so is but an exaggeration.
Mr.. Scott was a Danella near to the
ideal of the author Of the very ro-
mantle and sensational play. Granted
that Miss Norton made heroic effort
as Marina that she did a wonderful
thing for a soubrette for she stepped
out Of line of characters in which
she has few equals into a tragic role
calling for the most passionate mani
festations, the abandon of love, the
deadliness of fealty to the vendetta,
and the deadliest hatred, a conflict of
emotions and work that racks the soul
and tears the heart strings. But Miss
Norton to that sort of work is not
fitted. She lacks the physique fancy
demands in the heroine; she lacks the
depth of feeling and the passionate fire
that the Corsican girl was supposed to
have. She has the voice, tits true; she
reads the lines admirably, it is conced-
ed; she has the physical vigor, it is
admitted, but she cannot disguise the
soubrette wholly. There is that brusque.
quick merry motion and action; that
flash of humor in the eye; that celeri-
ty of movement; that manner of
speech that have made her what she
really is, an admirable comedian, in
whose hands q tragic role is out of
place Mr.. Yale's doubling as Antonio
and Anstruther was excellent work, and
Mr. Corrigan's Tomaso revealed him,
for in nothing else has he developed so
much capacity. Mr.. Blunkall's Barnes
was good comedy work, with touches
of the serious that made the humor of
the part stand out in bold relief. The
company throughout was superior sup
port, and SO evenly so that it is un-
necessary to further particularize.
About the whole production there was
tn attention to details: that celerity
of movement; that readiness in action,
and that appreciation of the demands
of the text that makes a performance
a tribute to the intelligence of the play
ers. Tonight the comedy-dram kid
naped."

DISAGREEABLE INCIDENTS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The depart.
ment of state has undertaken an inves-
LEGATION of W. very disagreeable incl
dents that may contain in themselves
the germs of serious trouble in the

Japanese, of two sailors attached to the
United States feet on the Asiatic sta
ton.
The exact conditions under which
the killing occurred are not known
here yet. and the state department is
trying to learn through the United
United States consuls in Japan, pre-
liminary to determining what steps
shall be taken to secure reparation, IL
it shall be found that the killing was,
as is expected. unjustifiable.
The first killing was of a sailor
named Montgomery, formerly attached
To the Yorktown, while she was on the
Asidtic station, and the latter was that
of Frank Epps. n sailor, native of New
York. and an apprentice on the flag
ship Olympia. He was killed at Ma
gasalSi.
The officials here have been advised
of the bare facts only, but following
so closely on the terrible assault at
Kobe. last September, of Il Japanese
mob upon the sailors of the Yorktown,
these killings have aroused them to a
determination to secure protection for
our sailors in japanese ports.
