THE WABASIE WAT, There were but few now developments in the passonger-rate war between the Wabash and tho other Western Ines yesterdny, and there was much fess excitement around tho various ticket offices. ‘The Wabash was not by any nicans as agyressive yesterday as during the first few days of the fight It has eensed to soll unlimited tlekets altogether, bit con tinues to sell Hmited ones at tho sane low rales ny the day before, only that tickets to St Louls were sold ata still lower rte— only St belng charged for tickets fmited to ong day, or $3 for the round trip, Hinlted to three days, Tho Alton and Illinois Central tok this ratonnd sold tlekets at the same LIT, gut cause of the Wabash’s discontinuing to sell uniiniiled tickets is varlously ex- plained. Some say that the managers of the road have begun to realize sthe daiger likely to result from the pincing of 80 many uniini- {ted tickets In the hands of ottsiders, which Will bo kept in autielpation of a restora. tion of the rates, and which will tend to mule t settlement almost Impossible, for inost of the reads vow that under no consid- eration will they submit. to an advance in rates to St. Louis and Kansas City above those at which those uniitaited tickets haya been sold until they are all redeemed or out of the field. ‘The Wabash, belng tha only road thatgold nuifuited tiekets, will findeon- siderable trouble in relstablishing municablo relations with the othar Ines as long us thesu tickets are out, and hence its deciston to quit the foolistiness before things had been car- ried go far thata retreat was no longer pos- sible, Others, nguin, claim that thls fiet had not so much to do with the action as tho fact that it has been discovered that forgers are at worle placing a number of bogus tickets on the market. Should ‘stclt prove to bo the ease, the Wabash imitst, nec essariy suifer great loss and Inconvenlence, as it will not be an easy matter to detect the bogts ones, especially for conductors when they are, offered on trains, 4 These thekuts are very siiuple and casily counterfeited. It is alse probable that the Wabash tool tho netion tt did regarding the sale of unlim- Sted tiekets in anticipation of some action by the Presidents who are holding a conference in Now York regarding this war, Tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy and the Chiengo, Rock Island & Pucitie, beyond sellmg Kansas City tiekets from thls elty for 50 cents, linve as yet taken no action to inevt the shntatlt jon by tho other ronds, but they sny they are about tired of waiting, and If the trouble extends beyond this day they will take steps to pro- teet thelr Interests, and strike out from the shoulder hard and heavy, regardless of the Dinekened eyes that tiny result, therefrom. “gho Alton continues to be as aggressive as ever, and fy the only line that decided upon now strategic movements, It announces that commencing this Morbi tickets fram Kinsas City to St. fayette, Lima, Fostoria, wrong, und Mun civ for $2} miso trom Kanshs City and St. Louly to Detroit for $0; to Toledo for $3.85; to Fort Watne for $3.86, and to Logansport for $3.30,. ‘This netion will strike the Wabash in its most vital points, us it takes in all the principal places on its main ine 1n the East and even extends beyond its ter- minus at Toledo, Fremontis beyond Toledo and Muncle beyond Indianapolis. ‘his ear- ries the war into Africa, und the Kastern roads will no doubt be compelled to redneco their rates to mect those made by the Alton from: Kansas City and St. Louls to Eastern polnts, unless the New York imagnates at their meeting to-day should be able to bring aboutan arrangementby which the desperate fight can be brought tontermination, Evory- sping now depends on the doings of the New York meeting, aud ita proceedings ara watched with Intense Snterest. Should it not succeed in settling the troubles the war will become the most disastrous ever fought, ant tho freight as well na the passenger rates wilt bo smashed to sinithercens, ‘the rise in Wabash and othor stocks Is takon ag an indleation that the. yRosnects for f peaceable settlement of the dificulties be- tween the Wabash and’ the other Western roads aro very favorable. ‘This, however, is not by any menns a fixed fact, for day Gould is likely to havo rumors of a probability of a pencenbie retiloment spread abroad to give stocks n boom, only tu hive thon drop the lower when the announcenent is mate that tho Now York meeting accomplished nothing.

AMUSEMENTS, M’VICKER'S, Richard Shiel’s play of " Evadne,” while the jangunge inay often bo weak and the iinagery overstrained, 1s one of the best ex- amples of dramatic constructive skill, ‘he dramatis personm seein to be guided, frow the {neeption to the grand climax of tho story, by that thentric providetice whose hand Is felt, not seen, In tho great works of the stage. Ineldunt succeeds Ineldent naturally and logically, from the moment that Ludovico gives to Vicentio the proof of Enune's guilty love with the Ww to the moment when Lvadne’s brother, in defense Con- it th of tho King, kills Ludovico, Tho central figure of this play, £vadne, endowed with all the finest — nttel- butes of womanhood, and whoss life fs love itself, was enacted on Monday night by Miss Mary Anderson. {t isa part in which she lias alrendy been seen on this same stage, and one in which this actress hag made cons siderable reputation in the East ns well asin the West, for it is a rdle which she enacts with nich effeet, and which fy sulted to display her finaqualities, Her stately beauty of figure, her classic face, devold of sensu- ality, her dignity of carriage, and her Womunly graces, in the portrayal of thia and Kindsed rOles gives to the character of Evadne thathigh-born air of refinement and breeding which completes the }luslon and compels the sympathy of an nudience in the sorrows of u veritable daughter of n noble ne of ancestors. Then her powerful and musical yolee—n voice with the ring of truo tragic metni—the stops of which sho Is “beglnning . so well toe understand, is equal to the expression of the reat scenes of the play. Well, then, she its the. physique for -the character and tho voice to meet the needs of the sHunttons in which that character is placed. Her con- ception of the character is correct, and her exceution of that conception, while at tines she does not reach the pulnt which should be reached by an artist aceupying tho first Tank, exlibits, considering all things, a rare technleal knowledge,—a knowledge which she could never have acquired inher cont paratively: brief career had she not been rifted with dramatic Intultion of a lilgh or- ler, Missy Anderson’s faults, and thoy ara slight In this character, are faults springing from the Immaturity of the actress’ nt, Uc- easlonally the character ig dropped, and, ap- parently anxiéus to ayold exaggeration fh the display of her emotion, she sometimes utters her pathotic speeches in a hard, metal- Ne, artificial tone. But thers fs so much that We huve to bo grateful for in the assumption, and tho whole performances was giver fn such an eyldontly earnest spirit, that we aro Toath to pick flaws In what scemed to furnish such satisfaction to the audience. When sho is discovered with Olivla in her first speech, she, by her delivery and by uelicate action, benutifully shows the soft and trusting tenrt of Evadac, and when she is unjustly accused by her lover, and that.necusation appears to be substantiated by the discovery of tho locket on her breast, . Miss Anderson's inter- pretation of the situation was judicious and effective, In the garden scene, where she mevts Vicentio coming from Oltvta’s home, shodrow a picture full of womanty purity and tenderness,and In herentreaty when Colonna comes upon tho scene, panting for the blood of her reereant lover, hor pathos was full of feeling.
