Another Huerta Election.

In the Presidential election last year
in Mexico a citizen approached one OF
the polling places at the capital to find
himself confronted by a courteous gen
tleman who asked him what his inten-
lions were. II should like TO vote for
General FELIX DIAz." said the citizen,
anticipating no difficulty IN exercising
his rights as a freeman--even his rights
as n Mexican, since far and wide It had
been proclaimed that there were four
candidates IN the field, and that the
choice of the people would prevail.
Smilingly, but firmly. the polite cleo
tion officer. expressing his deep regret
that he must disappoint the Felicista,
said that he could not vote Mt that
booth because 1t was IIuerta and
Banquet polling place; and the Incl
dent ended without protest.
There was an election for President,
Nice-President and members of Con-
gress on Sunday in the territory which
the dictator controlled, and he and his
army associate, 1t seems. were again
chosen by the few voters who visited
the Huerta and Banquet polling places
while the Congress returns showed no
changes. 1t remains for Congress to
confirm the choice of ''the people" or
under orders declare the Presidential
election invalid and direct General
HUERTA to continue to discharge the
duties OF provisional government,
which was the course followed q year
ago. Several days must elapse before
the "jefes' report officially.
The situation is in General HUERTA's
this time he will decide to regard him
self as legally elected, and after ap-
pointing n cabinet resign the Presidency
to make way for another. 1t is all idle
speculation. Whether General HUERTA
retres or not is matter Of indi ference
TO the Constituencies, whose objec-
tive is the city Of Mexico and whose
terms are unconditional surrender.

eral HUERTA TO cfface himself in favor

probable, but the Constitutionalist

the district Is well populated. there being

The National Dramatist.

Last season was called n Shakespeare
year in the theatre, and 1t Is therefore
not SURPRISING that the coming season
will be more than usually limited in its
supply of plays from that playwright.
At least two ambitious actors who
swelled the number of these plays last
year are to be out of the field. 1t is
interesting In view Of the limited num-
Der of Shakespearian plays 10 be seen
here this year TO recall the number of
performances last season.
There were in all 1870 productions
of plays by SHAKESPEARE In this city.
Hamlet was acted thirty-five times,
which was the largest number of rep
reservations enjoyed by any play. The
presence OF Sir JOHNSTON FORBES ROB-
ERTsoN was undoubtedly responsible
for the unusual number. much Ado
About Nothing had only two less pro-
ductions, owing to the revival made at
the Empire Theatre by JOHN DREW,
who acted the play every night, as he
did not vary 1t with other dramas in
rcpcrtory. "Othello," owing to the re-
vivas of both WILLIAM FAvERsHAM
and FORBES ROBERTSON. was acted
twenty times. Both JULIA MARIowE
and MARGARET ANGIIN acted In 1.-THE
Tanning Of the Shrcw." which thereby
had twelve performances.
Macbeth" was acted five times by
Mr.. SorIIERN and Miss MARLowE, who
have for So long represented SHAKE
sPEARE on the American stage. "The
Merchant Of Venice" was played elgh-
teen times and AS You Like 1t" eight.
Nothing about these statistics Is 50 nj
variance with the usual rule as the
fact that Romeo and Juliet" with tha
Incompatible Miss MARLowE MS ia
heroine was acted but four tines.
This record Is not so discouraging IA
that which will mark the close OF the
coming sen son when the number of rep
reservations OF SHAKESPEARE Is certain
to be much smaller. In Germany last
year there were 100 performances OF
the plays of SHAKESPEARE. Hamburg
had iifty-two. In 100 theatres In Ger
