COMING EVENTS.

The advance sale of seats for the local
engagement of Francis Wilson in 1.-The
Little Corporal" opened Thursday, and
the takings for the first day would indi-
cate that not only the comedians friends
and admirers, but the general public, are
interested in his coming to the Grand on
January 3 AS is probably well known to
most amusement-lovers, Mr.. Wilson is in
dependent of the combination that now
controls the theaters of the country and
has steadily refused all offers to join
hands with the trust, preferring to man
age his own affairs and play such cities
as he sees fit How thoroughly he has
succeeded in maintaining this indepen-
dence is matter of contemporary thea
trical history. With houses closed to him
and opposition of the heaviest kind in the
way of the best attractions being pitted
against him in the larger centers, the
star has "made good" and the financial
success of his present opera places him
out of danger of succumbing to the inilu-
ences around him.

The critics are agreed that the character
provided by librettist Smith fits Mr.. VII
son ike glove. The background given
the piece is of Breton romance, military
rat-a-plan and oriental color, while Mr..
Englander is said TO have provided a
framework in the shape of a delight
fully tuneful score.
Inspired by Balzac's famous novel,
"The Chouans,' for his first act picture,
the librettist has happily hit for his Sc
quel upon Napoleon's disastrous. but
highly picturesque Egyptian campaign.
While the emperor is turning himself into

bey's harem and finally escapes by hiding
in a statue.
1t is claimed that the work has been
elaborately staged and placed in the
hands of an excellent company The
chorus of forty voices is accompanied by
an enlarged orchestra and no detail that
would aid in making a production ad-

Announcement is made of brief sea-
son of grand opera to be given by the
Ellis Opera Company during the week Of
January 2 at the Lafayette Square. The
presenting organization has been achiey-
ing no small degree of success in Phila-
delphia, where a series of performances
has taken place that has covered
period of nearly Two months. Considera-
BILE enthusiasm has been aroused in the
Quaker City, even the newspapers being
unanimous in their praise of the combina-
ton, and there seems to be every reason
for anticipating a most enjoyable round
of opera here The company is headed
by Madame Melba, of whom nothing new
can be said in this country: Zeli de Lus-
san, an American prima donna of note;
Ernest Kraus, one of the greatest of
German tenors; NJ. Bonnard, French
man whose only superior is said to be
Jean De Reszke; and Pandolfini. a Si-
Gillian whose reputation has been greatly
enhanced by his work with this organiza-
ton. The singers will be accompanied by
the New York Symphony Orchestra, un-
doubtedly the greatest body of musicians
ever brought here for operate purposes,
and should give a series of performances
almost unequaled in the musical annals
of the Capital.

The Yuletide offering at the Columbia
Theater will be that popular comedian,
Roland Reed, in his latest and most pro-
nounced success, "The Wrong Mr..
Wright" On its presentation here last
season the comedy was pronounced to be
the best of its class seen in years. The
play tells a highly amusing and enter
tanning story, and its scenes and incl
dents are said to cause almost incessant
laughter. Mr.. Reed has a strong role in
that of Seymour Sites and manages to
plunge himself into some wildly hilarious
complications. All the characters of the
piece are strongly developed, natural and
interesting types Chief among them is
Henrietta Oliver, fin de steele woman
detective portrayed by Isadore Rush.
Mr.. Reed is supposedly surrounded by
strong and capable company.

AN ADVANCE In STOCKS
The Street Persistently Maintains
That War May Be Averted.
Spanish Fours Again Broke Violent
Iy and American Securities Were
FractionaIIy Lower.

New York, April 1.-THE idea under
lying the recovery in the stock market
this morning was one that Wall Street has
entertained persistently throughout all the
varying phases of the diplomatic situa-
ton. namely that war will in some way
be averted Occasionally, as on yester-
day. this idea, which at the most, is
vague and undetermined, is temporarily
swept aside by the overwhelming evil
dence as to its falsity but the moment
the situation becomes specifically placid
it at once reasserts itself.
Wall Street was able today to find re-
lief in The fact that a certain period of
time must elapse before the various Gu
ban resolutions now before Congress will
be merged into one that will meet with
the approval of both houses. 1t over
looks the fact that the passage of al
most any one of the resolutions would
carry such weight as to amount to a
declaration Of war, and that the temper
OF Congress will permit of no solution
of the question not involving the ces-
sion Of Spanish sovereignty over Cuba.
Even the surrender OF Cuba would leave
stin open the question of the destruction

of the Maine and it is plain that public
opinion will no be satisfied with any
evasive action on this matter In short.
1t is more than ordinarily difficult to ac-
count for Wall Streets present mental
attitude in regard to the issue of the gen
eral dominant matter.
