In what is styled a romantic drama and
called Aria Miss Mildred Holland made
her appearance at the Columbia Theatre
last evening. The play, written by Theo-
dore Kremer especially for the star, is
story of Austrian life. based on
Schiller's well-known 'kabale Und
Liebe." The scene is laid in Il small Aus
tTian principality in the latter part OF
the eighteenth century. Aria, a daughter
of a poor musician, is brought in contact
with the son of-the president of the prin-
cipality They are mutually attracted
and plan to marry. but an intriguing
Duchess. who is infatuated with the
presidents son, Baron Roland Won
Hohenlohc plots to disgrace the heroine
and win her betrOthed. She is capabiy
aided by several court personages. To
save her fathers life and her mother from
public torture, Aria is compelled to write
an discriminating letter and to attend
ball at the palace of the Duchess, where
she acts under duress the part of tickle
and heartless woman. The Baron is con-
fronted with her at the reyels. believes
her false. and after asking the hand of
the Duchess, leaves precipitately. Not
content with her victory. the Duchess
seeks to drug and disgrace the musicians
daughter. who, at last turns upon her
prosecutor. denounces her. defes her, and
with her father IS permitted during the
excitement TO leave The palace. After she
mas reached her fathers cottage. the
Baron appears, accuses her of infidelity.
secretly prepares a poison draft, Of
which he drinks a part. and then taunts
her with being a murderess as well as an
adventures. To prove that his suspi-
cions are unfounded and that the glass
of water which she had brought and
which he had secretly poisoned is harm
less Aria drinks the remainder OF the
potion. and. too late, reveals TO him the
infamous plot OF which they have been
the victims. The play ends with the
deaths of both.
There are incongruities in Miss Hollands
vehicle. which may account for her weak
ness in the first and part of the second
act But she fully atones for this by her
superb portrayal in the third and fourth
acts. In fact, the denouement in the
Duchess palace is the redeeming feature
of the drama. Miss Holland and the
leading members of the cast received nu-
merous curtain calls last night after
that thrilling scene. Bertha Creighton.

The German Government is apparently

partnent for that purpose. Just what may
properly be done to prevent the destruc-
ton Of the town. where OutlaBder inter
ests, including German and American, are

likely that some representations may be
made by Germany to both belligerents
looking to an agreement guaranteeing the
town immunity from damage on condition
that il shall not be used by either side as
a war base.
It was this visit Of the German Ambassa-
dor which was Used as corroboraticn of
newspaper story that the Chinese open
door policy OF the European powers ard
the United States was threatened by the
attitude of the Empress Dowager. The
ambassador did not mention Chinese az

In the same connection it was learned
yesterday by reference to the off ial rec
ords of the Navy Department that the Ore
gon and the New Orleans, said to have
been sent to Japan in preparation for a de-
scent on the Chinese coast. were sent II
japanese ports nearly month ago to give
their officers and crews a change OF air

Navy Departments information. The fact
OF their arrival at these ports was given
