New York, July "A dispatch to the

Omclal dispatches, given out by the

these acts OF war are committed by the
eight powers whose official representa-
tlVes have refused to leave the capital
and have jointly warned the Tsung II
Yamen that it will be held responsible
for their safety, and that of all of the
foreigners in China. 1t is nau vet
known whether the allied forces are
moving from Tien Tsin toward Pekin.

opposed by Chinese regulars and swarms
OF Boxers and that their advance will
Increase the dangers of the legations and
enkindle revolt in Middle and Southern
China.
The anomalies of the situation are So
numerous that there is a growing feel
ing among well informed men that there
will be some Diplomatic settlement by
which the occupation of the capital may
be prevented. prominent member OF
parliament has assured me that a settles

strong demonstration of military force
at Tien Tsin and Taku and that the
partition of China will be deferred.
While Russia covets Manchuria she ID

willing to sanction the occupation OF two
or three provinces by Japan in addition

lumbia Theatre. The play repeatedly has
been reported a genuine success. in fact,
certain reviewers have claimed that Mr.
Robson never had worther vehicle. Ac-
cepting this statement as truism. the
hundreds of admirers to whom the actor
owns are prepared to be charmed with his
work in an offering which one enthusiastic
critic has described as the greatest piece
of the sort since the days of Sheridan.
II is said that Mr.. Thomas was asked to
utilize the later part OF Goldsmith's life as
the basis for dramatic presentation more
than a year ago. the star having held that
idea for over ten seasons. In carrying out
his commission. the author requisitioned the
most important historical events in the
career of the famous Irish lad who had the
distinction of giving to the English Ian,

In New York a rainy night is welcomed
as the one thing that will force the tran
sient population of that city ont Of the
shops and into the theatres. Local
managers find benefit or injury in the de-
gree of prevalent storminess. A real

occurrence. but q mere drizzle, while per-
forming the labor of which Gotham's

the remainder OF the amusement-loving
