RUSSIANS FLAMING
MAD AT ENGLAND
Think She Evacuated Wei Hal Wei to
Furnish Japan a Base.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1.-THE
bitterness against Great Britain is as
Stunning most alarming proportions.
The supposition that Great Britain
evacuated Wei Hal Wei to give Japan a
base whence to attack, has called out
the deepest indignation, which has been
still further inflamed by the publica-
ton in Great Britain of a blue book on
Tibet, containing the offensive language
of Lord Lansdowne. Even in less stir
ring times this would have caused a
public sensation.
LONDON, Feb. lit was said at
the foreign office here this evening that
the assertion of the Novoe Vremya, of
st. Petersburg, that the Japanese fleet,
in its attack on Port Arthur, used Wei
Hai-Wei as q base for it's attack on
Port Arthur, is untrue.

Chase's Theater,

The stellar feature of a good bill at
Chase's Theater is Merians dog panto-
mime. which in many respects is far supe-
rior to anything in animal exhibitions ever
seen here. The stage setting is a miniature
representation of an Alpine village. The
characters in the drama are taken by
troupe of trained dogs, and they enact in
pantomime their respective roles with re-
markable intelligence. Caesar a mind
reading dog, exhibits great sagacity in
spelling.
The program opened with some very
clever sleight-of hand and palming by
Leipzig, who proved himself a master in
black art" Miss Belle Stone appeared in
novelty, both interesting and difficult.
Locked inside a large metallic sphere, she
assembled and descended a spiral staircase,
using only her own muscular force, without
any aid from outside. John w. World and
Mindell Kingston contributed musical
skit which was featured by very effective
rendition of a selection from Faust"
Bailey and Madison were very good in a
knock-about sketch, In which they gave
some eccentrics and clever acrobatics The
-Four English Malcaps contributed a dane
Ing number. embracing many attractive
features in ballet and national dances.

Washington audience once more INDUCED
In one OF the city's most popular diversions,
an ovation. Mr.. Edwin Arden was the CEN
ter of an enthusiasts welcoming, which,
however, did not tail to include Miss Olive
Oliver as an object OF unmistakable esteem.
The play for the initial week Of the Arden
company is Captain Letterblair," pleas
ant concoction with d melodramatic plot
so tempered by comedy and witty dialogue
that the somewhat perfunctory Vaccinations
familiar fashion In which he is foiled are
quite overshadowed by genial character
pictures and incessant repartee.
Captain Letterblair Ii role that is adj
mirably calculated to display the abilities
of good actor. He is a gentleman, though
not much OF scholar, soldier, lover
OF horses, possesses q ready wit and an
Ideal suitor. The touch OF the brogue IN
his speech adds to the charm of its huency.
Mr.. Arden realized all these impressions
handsomely and efficiently. He Is an actor
OF striking and agreeable personality, ana
displays quiet discrimination In his meth
cd OF reading that is highly praiseworthy
and agreeable.
Mr.. William Levers, as Francis Merivale,
the Incorporating villain, made highly
favorable impression. His performance
speedily enrolled in the list of local favor
ties. Mr.. William Herbert was the lovable
old gentleman without whom no modern
production Is complete. Mr.. Edward Dun

Academy,

Sis Hopkins" is here. and her arrival
last night was witnessed by large gather
Ing OF her friends at thee Academy, who,
with many new acauaintances, accorded her
a right royal reception. The annual visit
of Sis, who has, been visiting Washington
for several seasons, Is an event looked for
ward to by the Academy patrons who never
miss an opportunity to turn out in her
honor. Sis is no other person than Miss
Rose Melville. the originator of the role of
the quaint uncultured country girl of pc
culiar speech and queer actions. Her popu-
larity has not waned in the least with the
lapse of time. Miss Melville has the sup
port of a capable company. The story deals
with the life of a rural western family and
the advent into their midst of the repre-
sentative of railroad corporation who
attempts by foul means to gain possession
OF their land. During the second act things
take on the nature of a vaudeville enter
tainment and numerous speciaIties were
given by members of the company.

MIRAGE AT SEA.
Capt. Isaac Jones Has Singular Elk
perience Off Virginia Coast.

perience Of Virginia Coast.
Capt. Isaac Jones of the British steamer
Rowanmore, which arrived at Baltimore
Sunday, reports having seen mirage while
off the Virginia coast a few days ago.
Capt. Jones had just made an observation
which gave him his position as being about
thirty-six miles from Hog Island light,
when suddenly he thought he observed the
light. Capt Jones thought his chrome
meter was wrong, and that the steamer
had overrun her time He continued hia
course, however, and in a short time the
light at Cape Charles showed up. though
1t was supposed to be forty-three miles
away.
This seemed to confirm the idea that the
steamer had overrun her time, but when
Cape Henry light, forty miles away. was
seen Capt. Jones concluded he was the
victim of mirage Soundings were then
made and other steps taken to confirm the
position of the vessel, and 1t was found
that the calculations made by the nav1ga-
tor in the first instance were correct.
The mirage theory was further confirmed
by the fact that the vessel sailed for three
and on-half hours after The light was first
seen before Hog Island was abreast and
two hours longer before the light of Cape
Henry told Capt. Jones 1T was time TO
anchor and take pilot aboard.
Capt Jones accounted for the unusual
phenomena by observing taht the fog which
had prevailed SO thick during the day that
the ships speed was reduced and the look
out doubled was then being blown out
to sea. The atmosphere was clear and the
sea 80 absolutely smooth that it reflected
the lights from the effect of the atmos-
phere above and brought them to view
hours before the time they were due to be
clearly visible. but every characteristic was
plainly reproduced.

A map is filed with the Commissioners

bert, Isle s. Lipscomb and William w.
Hartwell.
The proceedings were taken by the Com

Empire Theater.

The initial performances in this city of
the musical farce-comedy "a Rabbits Foot
were presented at the Empire Theater yes
terday afternoon and evening. The COM
pany contains some good colored enter
tanners, and the program is made up with
a melange of comedy, songs, dances, musi-
cal numbers and vaudeville specialties.
Judging from the large attendance and the
loud applause, 1t can be seen that large
element of the theater-going public relishes
this sort Of performance more than the
thrilling melodrama, and with a continual
ton of attractions in this line the house
should continue to do a large business.
The cast is headed by Happy Arthur Howe,
who won much favor with his funny antics,
and was quite pleasing in his old plantation
break-neck song and dance. The company
carries a large and well-trained chorus.

Lafayette Opera House.

The opening Of the Aborn Comic Opera
Company's warm weather engagement at
the Lafayette Theater last evening was
auspiciously attended. The well-known
lyrics and the popular topical songs met
with spontaneous applause and encore after
encore was demanded. Considerable care
has evidently been exercised in the selec-
ton Of cast and the chorus sang with
spirit and precision.
Miss Blanche Adams was entrusted with
the role Of Greta, the singing girl and I'M
mediately won the favor OF the audience.
Robert Lett, as Prince Pumpernickel; Her
man Htrshberg, as the minister of police,
and Harry Dale, as Stephen, constituted
the trio Of comedians. Eleda Manstone sang
the part of Marie in pleasing contralto
voice and the acting and singing Of Edward
Metcalfe, as the duke. and George Ten
merry, as Count Otto, were acceptable.
