MANSFIELD PRESENTS
"|VAA THE TERRIBLE
Play of Absorbing Interest, in
View of the Russo-Jap-
aneSe War.
GREAT ACTOR AS A CAR

NEW YORK, March 1.-Richard Mans
field made his re-entrance 10 New York at
the New Amsterdam Theater tonight in
notable performance Of Alexis Tolstoi' 3
tragedy, Ivan, the Terrible.
Aside from the fact that it was the first
new York performance OF this portion of
Tolstoi's TriIogy and was in itself one Of
the most important events of the dramatic
season. the peculiar interest that is now at
tached to things Russian attracted note
worthy frst-night attendance.
The play is laid in 1884, the last year of
Ivan's life, when the iron WILL the superb
arrogance. the masterfulness and splendid
physical attributes which earned for him
the title of 1.-The Terrible were beginning
TO break under the menace of open and
secret foes. of plots. the cares of the en-
furious excuses.
The action begins with a scene in the
council chamber, where Ivan, in an access
of gloomy despair, proposes TO abdicate
and enter a monastry, but, yielding TO the
boyars, he reconsiders this decision, and,
calling into play his great craftiness and
duphcity, plots desperately to retain the
throne and crush his powerful enemies.
Through five acts and eight scenes the SOM
Der tragedy that ends in VANS death at the
hands of his household. is carried, giving
opportunity for a series of superb pictures
of the semi-barbaric court of the Russia of
some three centuries ago. In preparing the
production Mr.. Mansfield had the use of the
original costume plates and scene models
of the Imperial Theater OF st. Petersburg
and the careful attention that has been
given to the accuracy of details and the
splendid mounting resulted in production
not only scenicaily beautiful but interesting
from a historical viewpoint.
Until four years ago the public imperson-
alton of the Car as a stage character was
prohibited in Russia. When the ban was
removed by the Cars orders the first play
to be produced in which a Russian ruler
was portrayed was Ivan the Terrible -
which. though written in 1865. had never
been performed.
In Ivan Mr.. Mansfield has a character
which calls into play ali his versatility. The
transitions from the groveling, supersti-
tous, stricken old man TO the superb anger
and towering passion as a monarch will
stand out s of Mr.. ManSfield'S most re-
markable accomplishments. Mr.. Mansfield
was supported by more than adequate cast
Miss Ida Conquest was Czaritza Marie and
the part of Boris Godunoff was in the sage
hands Of Mr.. Arthur Forrest.

CASSINI DEPLORES THE
ILL-FEEuNG IN AMERICA
He Regrets the Press Has Shown
Tendency to Favor the
Japanese.
TALK WITH THE. COUNT

WASHINGTON, March IAN important
conference, lasting more than an hour. oc-
CURED to-day between Secretary Hay and
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador
The growing ill-feeling IN Russia against
Americans and the continued attacks of
certain parts OF the American press against
Russia was the main subject discussed.
Count Cassini also informally inquired
about the report that the Commercial
Gable Company had applied for landing
privileges at Guam for cable from that
island 10 Japan. He was assured by Mr..
Hay that this government at present was
considering no such application. The am
bassador did not give any intimation as 10
what the attitude OF his government would
be in this matter. The Associated Press
dispatches from st. Petersburg. however,
have stated that the Russian government
would view askance the granting OF such
privileges by this government during the
present war. IL is assumed that this gov
eminent has declined for the present form-
ally TO consider such an application.
To a correspondent OF the Associated
Press Count Cassini said the Russian peo-
pie long since had learned to regard the
people OF this country their fast friends,
and that IL had been bitter disappolnt-
ment to them to find American newspapers
attacking the Russian government, the
Russian people and Russian policies. he
said the first feeling Of his people had been
one Of painful surprise. but that this Is
now crystallizing into a deplorable feeling
OF unfriendlineSs.
The tone Of Russian newspapers" said
the ambassador, "a consequence of the
tone of many American newspapers, is be-
ginning TO take very painful direction in
their references 10 the United States, and
in my opinion 1t Is the interest of both
countries that some measures shall be
taken 10 check this before ii is too late
Fortunately the relations of the two gov
ernments continue as always, absolutely
friendly, and for this reason / am hopeful
that the present unfriendliness on the part
Of the press of the two countries will not
can and Russian governments ii is my
firm belief, furnishes the basis for the re-
storation and preservation of the tradi-
tiOnal friendship of their two peoples, and
j hope some means may be found for the
latter to reach a better understanding.
Russia does not expect, now that war
Is on, that this country shall be anything
more than neutral. My country does not
ask that you should be pro-Russian and
pro-American. She expects, and | can but
hope that she will receive fair treatment
at the hands of the American press-as
You say in this cOuntry-a fair showing.
One OF the reasons for the present unfor-
tunate situation is the large number of
absolutely false reports which have been
sent TO Russia from the United States
about matters affecting the far Eastern
situation. These reports have contributed
much in arousing sentiment against the
United States. True they have been cor
rected, but unfortunately correction
never reaches as many people as does the
original report"

BALFOUR SPEAKS OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF WAR
Wishes Great Britain's Navy to Be
Prepared for Any Future
Contingency.
SPEECH IN THE COMMONS

LONDON March lin the course of
a discussion of the naval estimates in the
House of Commons this evening Premier
BaIfour. while admitting the magnitude of
the estimates, said the House should not
only consider the amount, but should watch
the general European and Asiatic situation,
which alone would justify what the coun-
try was asked to expend. The country
should not lose sight of the possibility of
war between Great Britain and two great
maritime powers, which could hardly
end without great losses on the part
of both the enemy and Great Britain. in
which event the other navies would be
intact and in a maritime position which
they did not now hold.
Continuing Mr.. Balfour said he was re-
luctant to mention the possibility of war;
He did not think such dreadful con-
tingency was one which they at present
had any reason to apprehend. But, when
talking of the navy, they must always be
talking of the possibility of war, and he
was forced, when indicating the general
outlines of the reasons which compelled
the government 10 ask for this sacrifice, to
indicate possibilities which did not exist
twenty-five years ago. There was no posi-
BILE COMPARISON between the dependence
Great Britain placed on her navy, which
was defensive, and the dependence placed
by America or any European country on
their navies, which were offensive. Great
Britain's policy had been to see what other
nations were doing in the way of laying
down ships and to Immediately make
reply So long as the Admiralty was care
full not to anticipate or force other coun-
tries on, but simply to follow suit In in
Surfing that other countries did not out
strip Great Britain in the race for naval
superiority Mr.. Balfour believes the coun-
try would support Parliament in the ex-
penditure.
The vote for the effectiveness of the navy
was then agreed 10.

PRESIDENT SUMMONS
ODELL TO WASHINGTON
New York'S Governor May Be
Asked to Become Repub-
lican Chairman.

ALBANY. ". Y, March president
Roosevelt has summoned Governor Odell
20 Washington and the inference placed
upon the summons tonight by those we'll
informed is that the President intends to
ask Governor Oden TO accept the chair
manship of the national committee. Gov
ernor Odell received the summons to-day
and this afternoon did not return to the
executive chamber, SO that no queries could
be put 10 him. II is known, however. that
any proposition made by the President that
may in any way affect control OF the State
committee by the Governor will be refused.
If, however, the Craftsmanship of the ma
tional committee is offered 10 the Governor
free from any conditions so that the con-
troll of the State committee is also in his
hands. IL is believed that Governor Odell
will consent 10 take charge OF the national
campaign. deputing To a subordinate in the
State under his direction the conduct of the
State campaign.
Governor Odell will go to Washington on
Friday OF this week.

LONG LINE PROMISED
FOR WEBER IND FIELDS
Buyers at Seat Sale Engage Boys
to Hold Places in Crowd
of Purchasers.

Seats for Weber and Fields, who are to be
at the Park March in "Whoop-De-Dee,"
are not to be sale until o'clock this
morning, but as early as 1870 o'clock last
night the line of buyers had begun to form.
which steadily increased throughout the
night. By the time the seats will be on sale
this forenoon the line will no doubt reach
for several blocks.
Those in the line last night were not as a
rule purchasers who were buying tickets for
their individual use, but engaged by others
to hold place in the line until the sale be-
gins. Boys were there who said that they
received as high 81 each for holding a
place In the line. The number of tickets TO
each buyer is limited to ten. 1t was init
mated last night that a number of these
tickets would be bought for the purpose of
monopolizing the supply.
From the present indications the demand
for tickets for Weber and Fields's produc-
ton this year will be larger than ever be-
fore in this city and that the seating ca
pacity of the Park may be inadequate for
the demand.

WHITE RIVER RISES, BUT
NO DAMAGE IS FEARED

With the warmer weather and thaws of
the last few days White river has shown a
Slight disposition to repeat the programme
that has spread destruction to bridges and
banks twice this year. At midnight last
night the river registered feet inches
above low-water mark, a rise of about five
inches in twenty-four hours. 1t was then
thought that no great danger threatened
next thaw.
A great deal, or. perhaps. nearly all Of
the ice that has been in the river is reported
to have gone down stream, but the melting
and dislodging process came so gradually
that no harm was done Quantities of the
ice that had lodged on either bank of the
stream were also dislodged. and this ice
had been banked up TO height of from five
to ten feet in places. None of it gorged.
and no further damage was done to the
already dilapidated bridges.

FOUR SEAMEN DROWN
IN CHESAPEAKE Bay

received here of the drowning of four sailors
in Chesapeake bay. off the mouth of the
Potomac river. The men are reported to
have been members of the crew of the
oyster schooner Elwood. which has been
frozen in the ice for the last six weeks. AS
food was running short, the men cut an
opening in the ice and tried to get ashore
in a small boat.
The warm weather and the heavy rains of
the last few days had broken the gorges.
The great foes sweeping down the river
caught the little boat, which was crushed,
down.
