WAY is PREPARED.
Military Dictatorship in Russia Now
Seems Imminent.

St Petersburg. July 24.-The way
has been prepared for a military die
! tatorship by Il proposition now under
consideration at Pcterhof to create an
advisory council to assist the Emperor.
Premier Stolypn. General Treroff and
others were today comforting with His
Majesty upon this subject. On the
surface the scheme is to form such a
council out of the members of the
Council of the Empire and Conscrva-
tivcs and Liberals like Mn. Shipoff and
GuchkOff and also, possibly several
Constitutional Democratic leaders with
the purpose Of rcassuring the pOpula-
ton of the sincerity Of the govern
mcnts future.
NJ Stolypin evidently believes that
the plan is achicvable but there is little
hope that either Guchk0ff or ShipOff
will in any way make themselves re-
sponsblc for the energetic measures
of repression which the Empcror's coup
dc ctat entails and it is certain that
none of the Constitutional Democrats
Will brave the charge of open treason
in giving cooperation to any govern
mnct measures after the step to which
they committed themselves at Viborg.
The plan therefore, which is foredoom-
ed to failure seems to be a deliberate
plot of the court Camarilla to induce
the Emperor to cntrust the direction
of affairs to an advisory council and
while nominally the council would re-
tain authority the Camarilla would
gradually absorb its power and exer-
else virtual dictatorship. as did Count
Boris Melikoff's Committee on Public
Safety during the tcrriism preceding
the assassination Of Alexander III.

LYCEUM "a
"A Courier of Fortune

"A charming romantic comedy as
fresh from the book as flower from
it's stem is GA Courier of Fortune, -
which has been selected for presenta-
tion at the Lyceum this week by Ralph
Stuart and his company. The play is
a Adramatization of Arthur W. March
mont Is successful novel of the same
name, and the author himself, with the
aid of Mr.. Stuart, is responsible for
the theatrical version of his powerful
story.
How all this came about-the dedi-
cation Of the book to Mr.. Stuart, its
adornment with handsome Illustrations
showing the actor author in heroic cos
tunes, and the long months of patient
work necessary to pack the incidents
Of brilliant book into the narrow con-
fines of a play-does not matter. Suf-
fee it to say that Mr.. Stuart and the
author are great friends, and that the
dramatization of so important novel
as GA Courier of Fortune - was newt
able.
A Courier of Fortune is cast in
romantic atmosphere, Astounding in
thrilling incidents of love and heroism,
teeming with plots and counter-plots,
and the play affords Mr. Stuart rare
opportunity.
The story of the play deals with the

Of manner and flashing wit. While:
comedy is the prevailing spirit of the
play, now and then there is some ,seri-
GUS work which Miss Galland, it is ass
serted, makes the most Of. =
The story tells Of the gay and bril-
liant life at Bath in the eighteenth
century, and is filled with the dashing
relocated officers Of King George I'LL,
their daring fiirtations and doings. The
plot hinges upon midnight visit, paid
by Mistress Kitty Bellairs to the lodg-
ings Of her lover, Lord Verney, lieu
tenant in the Fifty-frst regiment, in
the hope of preventing him from fight
ing a duel with the husband Of Lady
Standish, who has become wildly jeal.

who, he believes, sent lock of his hair

Verney convince Sir Jasper Standish
that he is the betrayer of his home and
the challenge follows.
While Mistress Bellairs is in her
lovers rooms, accompanied by Lady
Standish, Sir Jasper and crowd of the
officers break into the house in hilari-

Another Belasco success will be at
the Auditorium for the week beginning
tomorrow evening when the famous
playwright and manager will present
his most recent, star, Bertha Galland,
in the charming comedy, " Sweet Kitty
Bellairs, /" in which Miss Galland, it is
said, has achieved emphatic success.
While Miss Galland is the newest Of
the Belasco stars, it is interesting to
note that her appearance under her new
management will be in a play that orig
inally was written for her, but for
which at the time Of it's first presenta-
tion, her services could not be secured.

Matthias, the unhappy peasant inn
keeper who murders for gold, and con-
signs himself to life of remorse ever

acter is one the late Sir Henry Irving
enacted for many years. Mr.. Shea gives
a thrilling impressive portrayal Of the
conscience-stricken wretch and his de-
scription of the murder in the dream
scene is vivid and startling.
Monday, Thursday and Saturday eve
nings he will enact the weird dual role
in CDR. Jekyll and NJ. Hyde" played
by him more than a thousand times.
Excepting Richard Mansfield, Mr.. Shea
is the only one who appears to have
won any distinction in the strange, fas-
cinating characters. ~. :. .>~..,A
Tuesday evening he will be seen as
"Othello,' in Shakspere S great
tragedy, and his conception Of the jeal-
GUS Moor is said to be most finished
and scholarly effort.
Friday evening, lNapoleon the
Great" historical play written about
the principal events in the life Of the
famous commander, by. Charming Pol
lock, will be the offering. Mr.. Shea is
said to have contributed an excellent
character study of the Corsican. The
piece is deliberately produced.
For one performance only, on Wednes-
day afternoon, Bulwer Lytton s classic,
Cardinal Richelieu' will be the bill.
The character of the high-minded and
eminent priest, affords Mr.. Shea abun-
! dant opportunities. His scene with
Louis XIII. in which he draws upon
him the curse of Rome requires poWe1
and fervor.
Each Of the plays will be presented
with correct scenic equipment carried
by the company.

terest on the part Of local playgoers to

selves if his reputation as a low COM

things that have been said of him in

firm of Weber & Fields, it is yet a
fact that he never has played in the
