"a Capitol Comedy" at EngIish's.

Paul WIstach's "A Capitol Comedy was
acted twice at Englshs yesterday by Tim
Murphy and his company The play was

struggle for congressional recognition of
his land claim is credibly described. Muir
ray Thorp represents the rich holders of
the land that really belongs to Gay, and in
Thorp they are seen to be arrogantly but
not criminally assuming property rights
Thorp would be intensely wicked, and that
he is not so in "A Capitol Comedy" is to
the authors credit. Where the author has
conceded to custom Is in leaving his study
of the Gay-Thorp combat and presenting
conspicuously affairs not relevantly con-
nected with the theme of the play.
The characters were cast as they had
been at the beginning of the season. Mr..
Murphy's impersonation of Gay pleased his
patrons because of the radiating genialty
of the actor. He is a comedian of a great
deal of natural ability and little acquired
skill. He depends almost entirely on the
peculiarities of his personality at the risk
of monotony. He does not show respect for
the play by keeping within it. But his per-
sonality is what his admirers enjoy and
pay for when they attend his performances.

Ii VIII Tend to Maintain the "Open
Door Policy, as Long AdvO-
Gated at Washington.
COMMENT ON THE AGREEMENT
SURPRISE IN PEKING AND ENTHU-
SLASH IN JAPAN.
Treaty Is Said to Cover ManchuriG
and to BE Both Offensive
and Defensive.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Mr. Takahira,
the Japanese minister to Washington,
called at the State Department and notified
Secretary Hay of the signature of the
treaty between Great Britain and Japan,
made public yesterday in England, binding
the two nations TO join in action to main
tain the integrity of China and Korea. The
assent of the United States is not necessary
TO this agreement, and If it were it proba-
bly, would not be withheld for it is pointed
out that the treaty is precisely in line with
the aims of the State Department, fully
disclosed in the notes published by it from
time to time. 1t is again stated that there
has been no joint action as between the
United States and the two powers named,
yet 1t is a fact that the preamble to the
new treaty might be regarded as almost
paraphrase of the position of the United
States toward the Manchurian question as
enunciated in Secretary Hays note to the
Russian ambassador here.
1t is made very clear here by the official
statements that the purposes of the United
States all relate to commercial and indus
trial phases Of the Manchurian question
With the political phase We have little con-
Germ. The sovereignty of Russia or China
over Manchuria would be to us an imma-
terial issue so long as American ships are
free to sail into Manchurian ports on even
terms with Russian ships, so long as Amer
lean products may be entered in Manchuria
at the same tariff rates Russian and so
long as American railroad and mining
projectors may operate in Manchuria as
freely as those of any other nation. In
other words, the United States is contend
ing for the open door in Manchuria, and
it recognizes in this new treaty valuable
support in its contention. 1t is understood
that the Japanese minister and the British
and Russian ambassadors are favorably
acquainted with this attitude of the United
States

AS VIEWED IN FRANCE.
The Alliance Not Menace to the
Peace of the World.

PARIS, Feb. I2-The view taken in
diplomatic circles here is that the Anglo
Japanese alliance. being purely defensive,
Is no wise a disquiting element in the
Eastern situation. The agreement, it is
claimed here, excludes Manchuria and
Russia therefore is not menaced there.
The alliance is taken to indicate that
Great Britain has abandoned her opportu-
mites and vacillating attitude Of recent
years in the far Feast for fixed policy,
and that the result will certainly make
for the peace of the world. The question
of Korea, provided for in the first article
of the treaty, cannot lead to disturbance
of the peace, because Russia has no ag-
gressive aims in that country. Japan also
is not in an aggressive mood. One of the
first results of the alliance probably will
be new Japanean loan as Japan has need
of money.
The Temps says: 1.-The new alliance
seems to indicate that the British govern
ment intends inaugurating a new policy in
the far East. 1t is an innovation without
precedent for a century. England there
by changes her policy Of free hands for
a policy of tied hands There is perhaps
a direct relation between this and the sort
of diplomatic revolution and change of
situation regarding Wei-Hai-Wei."
The Journal des Debats remarks: I'VE
think England gets the best of the bargain.
She merely assumes theoretical obligations
towards Japan, whereas the latters obliga-
tions towards England take a much more
practical character. 1t does not seem as
if Japan lad much reason TO congratulate
herself upon the treaty, while the other
powers cannot remain Indifferent to an
alliance which will leave England much
less accommodating in the far East"
The Francois says: THE most i'm
portant result will be to give England
greater freedom in the remainder of the
world"

Society at the Opera.

New York Times
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who can wear
red and scarlet with good effect, blazed out
one night at the opera in the William K.
Vanderbilt box in finely pleated frock of
brilliant red chiffon. Filmy, high puffs of
red tulle formed the sleeves. and across the
front of the bodice chains of diamonds with
pendants swinging like fringes, were
placed, and below these, at the extreme
right and left and also in the center, were
dashes of black. Both the bodice and skirt
seemed at little distance to be laid in fine
plaits. Mrs. Aston wore night superb
and bright purple velvet frock trimmed
with white lace applied in wide bands and
vertically, while her diamond tiara. neck
lace. suomacher and chains were all worn.
At "Othello" the other evening Mrs Clar-
ence Mackay had Mrs. George Gould with
her in her box Mrs Gould was i'm a daz-
Zlfng green velvet, and wore all her Won

Her hair. rolled softly back from the face
and forming a high, loose pOmpadour, was

The gown was of mist-like gray point

down it. had small clusters of grapes or
berries outlined on it In gray pearl cabo-
chons, small in size and opalescent in hues

GERMAN PRESS COMMENT.


BERLIN, Feb. 12-The National Zeitung,
referring to the new dual alliance, says:
THE Anglo-Japanese alliance bears a great
resemblance to the triple alliance. If the
United States has Joined Japan and Great
Britain in resisting the signing of the Man
churian treaty it must be inferred that the
United States regards the new treaty
sympathetically. Since the immediate aims
of Japan and Great Britain are essentially
defensive. the treaty acquires unmistak-
able significance in regard to the preserva-
ton of peace in the Orient"
The Vossische Zeitung also infers that
the treaty will tend towards the main
tenance of Oriental tranquility and says it
feels that TO that extent it can be viewed
with satisfaction by Germany. But the
paper adds that Germany's interest in
far Eastern politics is not sufficient TO JUS
tify her offending Russia by participating
i'm such an agreement.
The Neueste Nachrichten sees in the al
lance a far greater practical advantage
for Great Britain than for Japan. "since
Japanese Russian war is the most proba BILE
of all possible conflicts in Eastern Asia 4"
The paper adds: 1T is most unlikely that
France will actively assist Russia in such
a conflict. Therefore, Japan with the agree
ment in her pocket. will have to reckon
alone on the costs of the settlement with
Russia.

New York Evening Post.
A housekeeper who breads, with the be-
ginning of the furnace fires, the shower Of
dust that settles everywhere, has invented
an arrangement by which she keeps much
of it under control. For every register in
the house she has provided a covering Of
cheese cloth. They a-e simple pieces of
the material of sleaZy variety, cut large
enough to cover the register, and neatly
hemmed. They are held in place with pins
and are taken off and shaken out of the
window every morning, their accumulation
of dust amply testifying to their need. At
frequent intervals they are washed. The
one in the parlor is removed during the
hours when callers may be expected. The
result, this housewife claims, amply re-
pays her for the trouble taken. 1t should
be added that much of the dust disseminat-
ed through the house from furnace can
be prevented by care on the part of the
furnace tender All furnaces are supplied
with dust flues. but it is the exceptional
furnace man who makes use of them when
shaking or dumping the fire.
