PLAYS NEW ROLE
Miss I.ottie Williams Scores Hit as
/ Santa Claus.

Miss Lottie Williams, who is at the
Bijou this week as My Tomboy Girl,
plays two roles in her show, and this
week added another for the benefit of
the company. Christmas night Miss
Williams announced that she was go
ing to tackle the role of Santa Claus
after the performance, and invited the
entire company to be present at Crom-
bic g when she did it.
Everybody was there and all unite in
saying that Miss Williams as Santa
Claus is all that can be desired. There
was dinner the like of which occurs
but once in lifetime: There were
made the affair the more brilliant and
sparkling. Santa Claus made a witty
little speech, and as master Of cere-
monies called on everyone to do the
same.
It would be a shame to say when the
curtain went down on the finale and
the heroine and the villain, the hosteler
the maid, the old lady, the young lady
Old Fury and the rest of the company
went home hand in hand. cit was the
best ever,' is the unanimous verdict

The Russian Fighting

Perhaps somebody in Russia may
know what the people are fighting
about at the present time, but if there
IS such person he has not made his
information public. Unless it arises
from suspicion of the reform measures
Of the car it is entirely incomprehensi-
BITE. But there are factors in Russian
/: life which no foreigner is qualified to
discuss There are traditional hatreds
between the Russians and the Poles and
Tartars which make the jealousies be-
tween north and south in America, be-
tween Englishmen and Irishmen in
Great Britain, pale into insignifcance.
From time to time there have arisen
parties in Russia: bent on the Russifca-
tion of the whole people. They have
sometimes been led by the car, some
times have dragged him unwillingly
into the work. Always they have left
behind them a trail of blood and op-
preston which remains, for it must be
remembered that tradition is more
vitality important in a country which
does not read than in one which dis
slpates It's prov1nciallsm with world
wide view of things. The great mass
of the peasantry, and the peasantry
practically means the nation in Russia,
have not the faintest conception Of gov
ernment as science. They have only
their tradition to guide them, and that
tradition tells them that all things are
bound up in the czar as the head of
both church and state. When that bond
has been strained as it has been by the
disastrous failure Of the late war, the
Russian people are adrift. They are
like a ship without a rudder.
/ Il Every Russian community has its an
sarchists and revolutionists, and has had
them for years. They have seized their
opportunity and made the most Of the
breakdown Of autocracy. The army
however, is the key to the situation II

of anarchy by the army does not lead
to the setting up Of the army as the die

There is no longer any question that the Russian war fleet under the com mand of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky has entered the Straits of Korea on the final stage of its long journey from the Baltic sea, whence it sailed on October last, it's substituted destina- tion, VladiVostok, its original objective point, Port Arthur, having meanwhile fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Beyond the fact that the Russians were yesterday in the vicinity of Tsu Islands, all is conjecture.
 Apparently the only avenues of news transmission are held by the Japanese and the authorities of that country are exercising vigorous censorship. The paIucity of information which the cen sor has permitted to pass has form ed a basis for the belief in high quar- ters at St. Petersburg that an engage ment has been fought and thar the Japanese have suffered defeat, the theory being that were facts otherwise. they would have been immediately given to the world. At all events, the course taken by Rojestvensky's fleet, through the narrow waters eastward of Korea, may be accepted as evidence that he is bent on forcing Togo to accept battle, the alternative being bOmbardment of the Japanese ports and the sweeping of the Japanese mer- chant marine from those quarters.
Arizona republican., 1905-05-28

office burned far into the night anl the fact that no further dispatches had arrived from ToliO where alone the real secret of the situation is known, was considered reassuring.
 Admiral Wirenius. chief of the gen eral staff of the navy, said to the As sociated Press: If Rojestvensky mas cleared the Korean Straits. God bless him. He has open water ahead. IT he has succeeded in mystifying the enemy and entered the Japanese sea with his force unimpaired. he hos earned the title of master Of naval strategy,
 At Tsarskoe-Selo where it was real ized that while the fortune of the war and possibly the fate of the dynasty was staked upon the issue. the greatest anxiety prevailed. Emperor Nicholas received the news with satisfaction but without elation as an indication that Rojestvensky had outwitted his adversary and had cleared a difficult entrance to the Japanese sea Through out, the emperor has displayed the greatest confidence in ROjestvensky's ability to turn the trick. but with the arrival of the decisive moment he showed nervousness and repeatedly had officials at court to inquire of the admiralty and foreign office for dis patches. but neither ministry could re-
 ieve the imperial suspense
 Captain Won Essen of Port Arthur fame. one of the most capable of Rus sian naval officers is one of those who believes that ROjestvensky's arrival in the Korean Straits is no an affair of mystificatiOn, but is due to the reIa- tive strength of the fleets He express ed to the Associated Press the utmost confidence that ROjestvensky would reach VladivOstok without fighting a decisive battle, TOgO's fleet being too weak, he believed to meet that of the Russians in open combat
 It is undeniable that many thought full liberals display almost consterna- tion over the success that thus far has attended Rojestvensky's voyage A decisive victory for him. they be- lieve, might strengthen the govern ment as to not only destroy the pros poets of peace, but enable the gov ernment, if it chose to stife the whole program of reforms, and for many years their dreams of parliament and constitution.
