AMERICAN FORCE SMALL.
Tien Tsin, Sunday, June 10.-It is
learned but for the firmness of the
United states consul and Captain Nc
Gala (of the Newark in charge OF the
American landing party) and the Bri-
tish consul, thtre would have been fur
ther delay in dispatching the interna-
tional guards TO Pekin and the ma
jority of the forces would not have been
British. At meeting of the consuls
and commanders of troops yesterday
evening. when the necessity for the i'm
mediate dispatch of troops was con-
sidered, the representatives OF two Eu-
ropean powers questioned the necessity
and afterwards dlsparaged the idea
that a British force should preponder-
ate. The Anglo Americans, however.
insisted and carried their point. The
Americans generally deplore the small
ness OF the United States force here.
At the same time they are ready TO
defer To whatever may be considered
best at Washington.

a GLORIOUS FAKE.

EDITOR LEADER:-The play last night
was Il most egregious "frost"-the
poorest attempt at acting that has
ever been on this stage. If the actors
had even made an effort to please, their
failure would be pardonable, and we
might have compassion on them for
their lack of talent But when this
void is coupled with an arrant show of
ill-will, it is more than flesh and blood
can endure. The promptings were so
frequent and audible as to distract
what little interest was awakened by
expectation. If there is anything that
produces a nauseating sense of dis
gust against play, it is snickering
and talking among the actors, and last
evening, for full five minutes a dis
gushing scene was rendered more
unendurable by improvised and ex-
lemporaneous passages that had no
bearing on the subject, and laughter
was the order of the evening on the
stage! Nearly everyone left before the
second act was completed. (All honor
to themD
The sooner opera troupes come to a
realization of the fact that they are
not playing to set of imbecle red,
necks and rosin heels, the better it will
be for themselves and the consumers of
eggs. The people of Brookhaven will
have to take the matter in hand, and
treat such dead beats with the Kisses
they so richly deserve
If this company stick out their
weeks engagement they will, without
doubt, play to empty seats, unless the
janitor has a mind to be prosecuted
and attends. p. j. JR.
