New York. December 4.-Kyrle Bel

from London on August Is next for a
i7,000-nile tour of the world in char
tered steamship so Charles F'rohman
announced tonight. A London syndi-
cate and Mr.. Frohman will finance
this ambitious theatrical innovation,
which, 1t is estimated, will take two
and one-half years to complete.
According to the announcement the
vessel will be fitted with theatre,
and both dramas and musical comedy
will be produced, either on board or
whore stops are of sufficient duration
atinland points. 1t is proposed to visit
every port where there is an English
settlement, including some where a
professional company has never APP
jpeared. After leaving London the first
stop will be Gibraltar. Stops will then
be made at all the prominent settle
sments between Gibraltar and Cape
town, their lengths to be determined
by the patronage. In British South Az
,rica it is proposed to leave the ship
for month for inland tours.
After two months in South Africa
the companies will again board ship and
steam up the east coast of Africa and

the coast of Arabia, India, Indo- China,
the Straits settlements. the East Indies,
Australia. Tasmania, the Philippines,
China and Japan, and thence to San
Francisco, via the South Sea Islands.
Unless one has taken a trip through
the East he cannot appreciate the ea-
gerness of the Europeans in those
ports to see good dramatic produc-
tion," explained Mr. Bellew. "They
will come a couple of hundred miles,
PEE as highfas guneas a seat to see
a lit of Shakespeare presented ade-

The vessel will be a fast steamship
of at least 5000 TONS and to assist in
defraying the expenses of the tour she
will carry cargoes and extra passen-
gers between ports, The theatrical
company will be largely American.

late tonight professed to be pleased
with the result of the first days con-

They point out that every Unionist
majority in Birmingham was reduced
and that the Liberals improved their
position in Wolverhampton and other
Midland districts devoted to manufac-
turing interests and under Chamberlain
Influence.
London again proved disappointing
to the Unionists and encoura ging to
the Liberals, who had not expected to
regain Peckham. The london borougIs,
like Birmingham. also show increased
irlaiorities for tic Liberals.
On the, other hand. the Unionists are
able to cite significant victories, while
they improved their position in larger
number of constituencies than the LIB
erals did.

The Conservatives in Ireland will,
wherever possible, concentrate their

The return of II. ST. Maur, the Lib

Liberal gain. Duke having captured the
