terminated at Christmas, but that such
an extension will occur may be looked
upon as an assured fact. BelaSco is re-
sourceful, and although most of the
thaters belong to his opponents, it
may turn out that Mrs. Carter will find
holiday opening elsewhere in town
or that Warfield will be removed to an
other playhouse in order that Mrs.

OF totally different type, but equal
ly satisfactory in it's outcome, was the
first representation of George AIDES
Korean comedy set to music by Gus
tav Luders. under the title 1.-The Sho-
Cum" at Wallack's Theater, where a
great audience laughed and applauded
with the utmost heartiness throughout
the evening. 1.-The Shotgun had pre-
Viously been observed in Chicago and
Boston, but the edge of it's humor had
been in nOwise dulled to the apprecia-
ton of the New York public. The
piece deals with the adventures of an
up-to-date American boomer among
the benighted people of the distant
East, whose entire system of govern
ment and life he upsets with speed and
aplomb. The dialogue and character
izations supplied by Mr.. AIDE are en-
tirely worthy of his imagination, and
his lyrics are not alone smooth and
graceful but full of meaning, some
times satirical, sometimes in the line
of gently poking fun, but always con-
tanning an idea-a condition somewhat
rare in these days of loose construction
and looser literary treatment.

The for eign secretary had no definite informa- tion to give to his callers. Ambassadors Choate and Mitternich (German had nothing worth cabling to their govern ments subsequent to the interview.
 When the reception was over for eign office official said to a representa- tive of The Associated Press: "We know less than the newspapers. Our only definite information regarding the Russian reply was derived from the As- sociated Press St. Petersburg dispatches of yesterday. So far as we know this evening the Russian reply has not reached Tokio. There is, however, grave reason to fear that such of the Japanese proposals as have been accepted by Russia are of minor character, and that the main points of the dispute have not reached a settlement"

WILL BE HELD AS PLANNED
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION TO

Order Closing the Coliseum " here isis Proposed Great Gathering wii Meet Expected to be Rsselnded-ssnstor Hanna Declares It Ono of the safest Bundings He Has Ever Seen.

Chicago, Jan. 6.-Although the Coli
 scum, in which the national republican convention is to be held in June, was
 closed by order of Building Inspector
 Williams to-day it is stated that the order will be rescinded within forty eight hours and that no change in con-
 vention plans will be necessary. The
 violation charged against the Coliseum is purely technical, and 1t was no sooner made than the matter was investigated by Graeme Stewart. national commit teeman from Illinois, and Senator Han na, who was in town, Both gentlemen expressed the opinion that there was
 no safe building in the world. State- ments to this effect were made by MT. 1 Hanna and MT. Stewart and their pub l llication authorized, MT. Stewart said:
 s'I feel personal responsibility iii the
 matter and if the Coliseum is not a safe building for the convention, then
 there is no such building in tine coun- 1 try'
 I Senator Hanna said: The conven- | tion will be held in Chicago as planned.
 The Coliseum is one of the finest struct- ures I have ever seen, and also in it's provisions for safeguarding life.'' | It is alleged by the building depart
 ment that the Coliseum violates the ordinance which requires that such buildings shall face on. at least one street and two public alleys or open spaces.
 The Coliseum to the west fronts on | Wabash avenue, while in the rear it 1 opens on a public alley. To the south of the building is what amounts to a private alley and it was here that the 1 building inspectors discovered techni- cal violation of a section of the build | ng ordinance. This alley is seventy feet wide and is covered, being sup
 ported at it's southern extremity by a
 wall. Tn no other way does it differ 1 from the ordinary alley and it runs through from Wabash avenue to the I public alley on the east. The Coliseum proper is provided with twelve wid ex- | it's, the main one twenty-five feet across. Three of these open on to the
 private passage mentioned on the south of the building and any of them is large enough to admit ofthe egress of ten horses abreast.
 Secretary Stewart Spalding, of the
 Coliseum company, has arranged for an interview with Building Commissioner ] Williams for tomorrow.
 When the situation is explained to
 him." said Mr. Spalding, The can do nothing less than rescind his order clos l ing the place. We have done even more
 than the ordinance requires. It asks 1 for an alley ten feet in width and ours
 measures seventy feet. We have pri- vate lot next to that if any more is required"

MOVING qRElN IN FLAMES.
TWO PASSENGER COACHES DE- STROYED AT WATERBURY,
But Mile From station Whom a Lamp Expiodes and Quickly Sets Fire to Two Rear cars-Tbsse Detached and a Panic Among the Passengers Avertsd by Prompt Action of Empioyes.

Waterbury, Jan. GA loss of several thousand dollars was caused the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad this evening when two passenger coaches on the train leaving here on the Naugatuck division at 6:15 were en- tirely consumed by fire at a point about a mile below the Waterbury station. The train consisted of four cars, bag gage car, smoker and two passenger coaches. While speeding on the way to Bridgeport one of the kerosene lamps in the first coach exploded and the rear of that car became one mass of flames. The wind which was blowing toward the north swept the flames into the rear car. AS soon as the explosion oc- cured the air brakes were applied but before the train had stopped both rear coaches were in flames. These cars were detached from the rest of the train and left to burn.
 By the quick action of the employees on the train in preserving order a panic was avoided and all the passengers es- capped without injury There being a double track from this city to the point at which the fire occurred the remain ing part of the train blacked down and came back to the station, arriving there at about $40 p. m. Two extra coaches were immediately attached and, the train proceeded to Bridgeport.
 All traffic is cleared now and the re- mains of the two cars will probably be cleared off tomorrow. Both cars were of the old fashioned type.

 Senatorial Invsitigation. Washington, Jan. 6.A Alleged irragi- Ilarities in the postoffice department cons- stituted the only theme made in the senate to-day. The question came up on B motion first made by MT. Lodge and afterwards by MT. Penrose to refer l the Carnack resolution looking to a senatorial investigation of the postof11ce department to the committee on postof- fees and post roads. The democratic senators resisted the motion and com tended that the country would not be satisfied with an investigation of a de- partment made by the department it. I self. The debate continued for almost two and one half hours and was ex- 1 tremely spirited from start to finish. Mr. l Carmack charged that Postmaster Gen. 1 eral Payne had been lukewarm at the beginning of the department inquisltion and MT. SDooner replied in defense of that official, saying that he had asked for money for an investigation beforH the department began it's work. and when it was undertaken had given ey- l cry assistance.
 Mr. Clay said that the tenor of the Bristow report had convinced him that MT. Bristow considered Former First Assistant Postmaster General Heath more guilty than any one else connected with the postoffice irregularities. Be- fore the debate closed MT. German stated that he had had conference with MT. Penrose chairman of the post- office committee. and was willing to have the resolution referred. Further consideration of the subject was defer- red until Friday.
