NO notice OF American
NOTE ON sinking OF Ships
By Associated Press.

London, Feb. IL, 1880 P. M.-The
texts of the American notes to Ger
many and Great Britain concerning the
possible sinking of American ships and
use of the American flag, have not yet
reached the London papers, which con-
sequently are ehary of editorial COM
ment.
The ''Pall Mall Gazette however,
says it will not be difficult to satisfy
the United States that in using the
American flag to defeat the intention
of German warships to torpedo mer-
ehantmen without warning, Great
Britain sis acting not only in the ma
tional interest but in the interest of
humanity and civilization. There would
be no danger of American ships being
sunk if the German craft behave as
every usage of war dictates and board
the ships they stop for an examination
of their papers,
The "PaH Mall Gazette calls at
tention to the fact that while the
American government is making repre-
sentation concerning the use of the
Stars and Stripes, American passengers
are petitiOning the Cunard Line to sail
under the American flag so that they
may enjoy its protection.

Possibly it is because they are aiding
the Belgians by their efforts that the
performers in 1.-The Mikado,' the
opera given last night at the Majestic
Theatre and to be repeated this even

SO successful. The operatic society was
certainly at its best last night in the
flowing robes and with the many col
ored fans that were suggestive of
Japan. 1t was evident from the time
the curtain rose that "the management
had spared no trouble or expense" in
providing gorgeous costumes.

actress she took her part as capably as

Frank Davies was funny as ''Ko-
ko,' and his acting with Mrs. Jacob
Miller as Katisha was clever. Elmer
Bhler as ''The iNikado' was leading
light, and George Hoy as his umbrella
carrier, aroused much merriment. The
chorus did excellent work and deserves
conmendation.
