of a warm reception-that being the techni-
cal term for the applause with which the audi
ence greets the first appearance OF an artist
before any word has been spoken Generally
speaking. IL signifies courteous greeting cor
responding TO lifted hat and pleasant saluta-
ton. But occasions when the actress Is a
special favorite the reception enthusiasts and
long continued. becomes a demonstration which
Is inartistic and destructive OF the Illusion OF
the play. since IL drags the actress out OF her
part, and In her bowling. cnrtseying and smiling
she becomes Miss Jones or Miss Morris returning
human who did not enjoy to the last drop OF her
blood just such a greeting. even though her
artistic sense condemned IT.

New York, Dec. 8. According to news
received here from Russian sources,

finance, M. Pleske, having come hope
lessly to grief, all indications point to
the famous statesman-finan M.
Witte, returning to power, with even
more extensive prerogatives than here
tofore.
There appears from what is told that
there Is such intense rivalry existing
between several Of the highest authori-
ties in Russia that the question Of APP
pointing chancellor, with power SUI
perior to all except the emperor, is once
more in the foreground of political poss

ally comes up as that of the most like

peror is overwhelmed with work and

continual appeals to him are said to
have led to consideration Of appointing
a chancellor who would bear the re-
sponsibility Of arbiter and referee of
the various political diplomatic ana
military factions, and In turn consult
with the emperor on the best and final
course to adopt.
1t is stated that the emperor has been
much impressed by the practical suc-
cess of Count Won Buelow in relieving
the Kaiser from an enormous amount
Of trouble and worry by his action as a
buffer between his majesty and the var
