Savoy.

In a dramatic season bereft of sue
cesses. the limited co-star engage
ment of James X. Hackett and Mary
Mannering in Alfred Sutro's great
play, The Walls of Jericho" at the
savoy Theatre stands pre-eminently
alone as being the best drawing card
of the present New York season. No
better evidence of this success is
needed than the reminder that this

may be said of THE Shotgun" that
it is n of the best of the extended

is probable that Henry w. Savage

1.-THE WHITE CAT" A BIG HIT.

Klaw & E~rlanger's great Drury
Lane production, The White Cat, "
now the attraction at the New Am
sterdam theatre, is proving the
greatest success of the long list of
massive entertainments this firm
has presented" The Sleeping Beauty
and the Beast" which created such
a sensation at the Broadway theatre
four years ago, with its wonderfully
beautiful ballet of The Four Sea-
sons" is completely eclipsed by this
spectacle with its three marvellous
ballets, THE Enchanted Orchard"
THE Palace of Hymen" and THE
Christmas of All Nations" Nothing
like these in gorgeousness of scenery
and costumes have ever before been
staged. But scenery and costumes
do not make up an entertainment
and The White Cat" in the merit
of its book and musical features
alone, would prove a big hit. 1t is
really three great entertainments in
one Seats may be secured four
weeks in advance.

which Il is pointed out that unless
Chunchiatsu and the Sungari lines,
scant 100 miles below Harbin, can
be held Il will be difficult TO maintain
a position farther back before Har-
bin, where, with the front OF the army
paralleling the railroad the practical
bility OF a turning movement to COM
plotely sever COMMUNICATIONS and iso-
late the army 6000 miles from home. is
too serious for Russian consideration.
In view Of this possibility, the dis
patch alluded to suggests the advisa-
bility of Immediately providing Vladi-
vostol1 with war munitions and sup
plies for a two-years' siege. The cor
respondent estimates the number Of
reinforccments needed to give General
Linevitch the requisite superiority in
force at 100000. That such a dispatch
should have been permitted to pass
the censor at the front Is significant;
and If General Linevitch has com
municatcd a similar estimate of the
situation direct 10 Emperor Nicholas
Il may account for his majestys In
creased disposition TO listen to peace
counscls and open negotiations before
the Japanese establish themselves on
Russian soil. With Manchuria entirely
abandoned to the Japanese and Vladi-
vostok loft as Russia's solitary scnti-
mel on the Pacific, it is realized that
Russia WIFI be practically at Japan's
mercy in the matter Of peace terms
Military authorities here believe
that unless General Linevitch is sure
Of his ability to hold the lower Sun
gan line, he will risk his whole army
If he fortifies and concentrates there;
rs, n lie should be defeated. his line of
retreat lies to two sidas1of a triangle,
the third side OF which is open TO the
enemy's advance
At the general etan the view that
General Linevitch may be compelled
to abandon Harhin and retire towards
Lake Baikal leaving Vladivostok to
its fate. is regarded as almost unwar-
ranted by anything that Is officially
known there, it being pointed out that
Field Marshal Oyama viii have a long
and labori0us task to bring up an
army of 100000 OF 100000 men,
Meanwhile Russian reinforcements
are arriving az Harbin at the rate of
1900 men per day. Nevertheless it is
significant that there is now a well
marked peace party at the war Office.

ST. Petors0ars, A-arch 24.-The min
listers and supporters Of the court who
advocate the submission of pacific pro-
posals to Japan, so as to ascertain
whether an honorable basis Of peace

the day, and the Associated Press

The possibility that II the Russian

retreat not only to Harbin, but also
further westward along the railroad.
