NationnI-Annie Russell.

It was probably a practical workman
who first remarked that while bricks were
very generally the same, by proper COM
binations of the small blocks. various
forms of edihces were made. This very
obvious conclusion in actual architecture
holds good in the dramatic armament. as
was last evening demonstrated to the cul-
tured and scholarly audience assembled
to greet Annie Russell in her new play,
"A Royal Family" Capt Robert Mar
shall, the author Of the three-act comedy,
has taken one Of the oldest forms of plot
and. by unique combination OF circum-
stance and incident builded from 1t a
dramatic structure at once commendable,
admirable. and novel. Last evening s
presentation was the first of Captain Mar
shall's in Washington. and in the outset
it is not too much 20 say that from a
purely literary point of view, "A Royal
Family is the best bit of dramatic COM
position seen in the Capital City for many
a year.
"A Royal Family has primarily as its
idea a good-humored satire upon the
practices of royalty This vein of humor
prevails throughout the three acts.
heightened by the wit of the lines and
the color of the underlying and partially
sad counterpart. The story is laid in the
mythical kingdom Of Arcadia, tiny State
on the verge Of war with the neighboring
kingdom of kurland. The State is in poor
preparation for the conflict, which can
only be averted by the marriage of Prin-
cess Angela to Victor, Crown Prince Of
Kurland The Princess, however. being a
very up-to-date young woman with rather
Julietish ideas regarding love and matri-
mony, sets her royal foot down and de-
ciares that she Will not marry a man she
has never seen and cannot love In the
extremity the aid of the Cardinal Casano
is sought by the King and the willy priest
contriYes to smuggle the Prince into the
palace and have him meet the Princess
The result is inevitable, for without
knowing that he really is the Prince the
Princess falls in love with him and re-
mains ignorant of his identity until the
moment of her public betrothaL The
strange and potent counter plot of the
hopeless love of young priest for his
princess throws the. lighter love element
into strong relief, a touch at once power
full and unique.
This simple tale of the heart, frightened
by the brightest of dialogue and incident
is told in the wittiest manner. in sjtua-
tions at once natural and forceful The
study OF the old school Queen, contrasted
with her granddaughter: OF the mimic

childish aristocrats: of the good humored

actress makes it prominent alone. The
reception given Miss Russell last evening
was very hearty, and the applause fol-

the public betrothal showed that the star

omissions are noted which are not easily
accounted for. One is the character of

frequent lapses into his other seIf-the

little doubt but that her engagement at

A SIGNAL VICTORY
IL Claimed Ey Coiomoia Over Ven
eZueian Troops.

Washington. Oct. The following
eablesram was received at the Colon
bian legation in this city last night
"Bogota, Oct l.-Coiombian Minister.
Washington: We have obtained a sig
mel victory over Venezuelan troops
that invaded the Goajira under Vene-
zuelan officers and under the yenezue
Ian flag, without previous declara-
ton Of war. ACADIA MENDEZ,
Minister Foreign Affairs"
Some uncertainty exists in the minds
of the officials of the legation as TO
whether this victory over the fene-
zuelans is identical TO that heretofore
reported by way of Curacao in the
press dispatches or is the result of
another fight. DR.. Silva, the minister.
is inclined TO the former opinion. The
officials feel very much grariiied over
the adyices. Some stress is laid on
the statement that this invasion was
without Il previous declaration of war
on Venezuela's part. This. DIR. Silva
says, shows the irregularity of the
course the latter country has taken.
Dr. Mendez, who signs the dispatch.
is the new minister of foreign affairs
whose appointment followed the Col
ombian cabinet crisis reported from
Bogota Monday. No further advices
have been received on that subject.
and DR. Silva is disposed TO believe
that the resignation of the cabinet was
not general, but was confined TO pos
sibly the ministry of foreign affairs TO
which the minister of finance was APP
pointed, thus leaving a vacancy in the
latter office
