Acnavon's Orzra Hovse.—“ The Yeomen of the Guard, or the Merryman and his Maid,” Gilbert and Sullivan's new opera, was sung for the first time in this city at Albaugh’s Monday night, and was repeated at the matinee yester- day and last night before large audiences, who applauded the leading numbers of the score gen- erously, and in other ways showed their pleas- ure with the work and those engaged in its in- terpretation. As already commonly under- | stood, “The Yeomen” is constructed on lines | quite distinct from those adhered to with such marked success in the previous operas of the same authors. Its fun suggests the laugh of a boy whose voice is changing. Now you are pleasantly startled by the full, strong but ge tones of the approaching man; then again recur the shriller, lighter but agreeably miliar notes of the vanishing boy. "The fan | of “Pinafore.” “The Pirates.” “Patience” and the rest had in it much of the odd, fantastic, bizarre quality of precocious childish pranks, Yeomen”™ reveals in its conception and reatment an effort to develop the deeper, fuller | fun of maturity, the true comedy that is deep- | rooted in human nature, Naturally this tran- tion was not to be accomplishel without the striking of false notes and some loss of the and vivacity of movement which dis- | tinguished most of the previous works jof the noted collaborators, But “The !Yeomen” is by no means without decided crit in book and score. Both show the care j and finish that Gilbert and Sullivan never fail to give their work. The orchestration is full | of charming passages, there are a number of | very catching airs and the first act ends with | the w ing chorus. Mr. Aronson’s com- rilled but not quite as strong customed to give us. Miss Ric as Phoebe is ¢ lingly pretty and “fetching. Miss Reed's is done with ¢: nd earnest ness but is somewhat cold. Charles 8. Campbell as Colonel Fairfix provement both in singing and acting since he was last seen here. As Jack Point Mr, James T. Powers does the most artistic work of his career, and if he makes the part only moder- ately laughable the fault rests with the autho Mark Smith's Sergeant and Mr. Cummings’ Wi Jred xd impersonations. Altogether the nee is really enjoyable and one which le person will not feel repaid for devoting an evening to. NationaL Treater.—“The Wife” tells an | American story in a manner so distinctly French that even in its most moving scenes one has an unsettling subconsciousness of something radically incongruous. The locale and the incidents are supposed to be Ameri- ean, but the racters move in foreign t are certainly not Mr. nows decided im- c fashion from impulses t! ; common to us, and in an atmosphere to which our lungs are strangers. And this French treatment is not only on the surface but in the sinews of the p swell. The story is told with much deftness and force, though there is a great deal of unnecessary matter in the first and second acts, and the agony is piled on too liberally in the third. In few words, the story is of an ideal and rather sentimental United States Senator, who asks a young girl to marry him just after she had broken with her lover on learning of the latter’s supposed desertion of another woman. The girl consents, but her old love still holds her heart. He meets her after the marriage with the Senator, they are left alone, she faints in his arms, his discarded fiancee sees them, spreads the news, and the usual trouble follows. Mr. Nelson Wheatcroft makes the ideal Senator Rutherford strong and dignitied. The role of the j an ¢s- sentially French conception developed with melodramatic depth of color, was played with a certain rough, cynical force by Mr. Henry Herman. Frank Carlyle as the lover was a little stagy in the lighter passages, but showed good emotional power in the scene with Rutherford in the third act. Mr. Dickens uyed with exaggerated impudence the over- drawn roli of the college boy. Mrs. Gibbs was effective in the emotional scenes as Helen, and Miss Schell was very pretty and_captivat- ing as Kitty. Mr. Barrows made the part of Major fairly laughable. There is plenty of fun in the piece, and the audience was gener- ous with its langhter and Harris’ Buov Taeartei The rough but er cent discount at | harmless fun of “We, Us & Co.,” keeps the audiences at Harris’ in almost continuous roars of laughter this week.

ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN CASES GROWING OUT OF ARRESTS ON CHRISTMAS DAY. The police spy that there were more drunken people in Washington this Christmas than they have seen for many years, It was a noticeable fact that a large number of these were boys from fifteen to twenty years old. The station- houses were nearly all filled to overfiowing, and in some cells as many as half a dozen pris- oners were confined. The principal, and — the only, cause for the arrests was too much “rum.” In many saloons “free drinks” were served, afid this helped to swell the num- ber of “drunks.” During the forty-eight hours ending at 8 o'clock this morning 243 arrests | were made. Of this number 72 were ‘‘drunks.” They were held until sober, when they were released. Many others were for minor offenses growing out of intoxication. In many instances the samg prisoner was arrested tw The first time he would be charged with intoxica- tir When sober he would be released and given another chance. When arresteda second time another charge would be made against |him, Most of the females arrested were charged with intoxication, This morning there were 86 prisoners taken to the Police Court in the ‘Black Maria.” Among them were many faces familiar in police circles.

Hayti Did Not Hesitate About Giving Up the Ship. A special from Kingston, Jamaica, December 24, to the New York Herald, tells this interest- ing story of the surrender of the steamer Haytien Republic to the United States men-of-war: Hayti’s black ruler, General Legitime, passed from triumph to humiliation in quick sueces- sion last week, On Sunday he was elected president, on Tuesday he was inaugurated, and on Thursday he was forced to surrender the steamer Haytien Republic under peril of bom- bardment by the Galena and Yantic. I have just arrived here from Port au Prince in the Arran, which left there last Friday. The Sun- day previous was the day fixed for the joint session of the sonate and assembly to elect a president. When the joint convention met it was. of course, a foregone conclusion that Gen- eral Legitime would be elected president, and the deputies hastened to do what was expected of them. Forty-four votes were recorded for Legitime; all other candidates, 0. Then the populace ‘gave itself up to hilarity and tafia, ‘a lay was inguguration day and a gen- eral holiday was decreed. The ceremonies consisted of the usual inauguration oath-taking in publie, a pompous high mass at the cathe- drai, anda grand parade of the tatterdermal- lion troops and a banquet at the palace in the afternoon, The whole population, the troops and the officials, were ona prolonged jamboree all that day and the next. Possibly that fact may account for the failure of Minister Preston’s well-planned scheme to save the Haytien government the humiliation of being forced to surrender the steamer Haytien Republic to the United States war ships, Tuesday evening Mr. Peters, the agent for the Atlas line of steamers, notified Presi- ime that. in accordance with a company had made with Minister n New York. he had brought acrew for ien Republic, and was ready to take her north at once. President Legitime promised y the matier before the cabinet, and a cabinet meeting was held next morning, the 19th, Whether the president and his advisers were ally ineapable of grasping Minister Proston’s anor were y temporarily belligerent rom enthusiasm and tafia, it is not possible to ate. ‘The result was, however, that the min- ter of foreign affairs notified Mr, Peters that > government could not understand Minister heme, and therefore would not send w York. ay morning the Yantic and Ga- r fiying the flag of Rear Admiral din ‘the onter harbor. Admiral Luce qui shifted his flag to the Yantic and the latter steamed into the immer harbor, An- choring a short cable leugth from the Haytien Republic, the Yantie ran a hawser from her stern to th l prize, and simultaneously ng Commander Heyer- Lieutenant Meigs, ashore to accompanied the minister to the president's palace and demanded the delivery the Haytien Republic to the United States’ naval commander in the out- er_ harbor. If the steamer were not delivered before sunset the United States ships would take her by force, and if resistance were In order that there should be no delay the Galena sent boats to the vessels in the harbor to get out of nd the foreign consuls were notified possibility of an carly beginning of hostilities. The admiral’s demand also called f twenty-one guns to the United nd the payment of an indemnity to the owners of the Haytien Republic, Legiti: ad his advisers suddenly realized that they had an elephant on their hands, It was evident that they no longer regarded the seizure of a vessel flying the United States flag as such a smart piece of business after all. In hot haste they hurried a small steamer along- side the Haytien Republic, from whose mast- and peak still floated the national colors, which plucky Capt. Compton had insisted on keeping there. The captain was on hand to receive the ship back, and at 5 o’clock she was towed to the outer harbor and brought to anchor near the Galena. Then the Haytien gunboat Dessalines ran the stars and stripes up toher foremast head and fired a salute of twenty-one guns, The Galena returned the salute. The vessel was released under protest, Ithough the Haytians had agreed to abide by the decision of our government. A crew for the Haytien Republic will be se- lected from the crews of the Galena and Yantic, and the will at once be started for New York. since it is desirable to get her out of the yellow fever locality as quickly as possible, It is reported that the indemnity demanded for the Haytien Republic’s owners and the United States government was ©350,000, Admiral Luce will shortly come to Kingston to get coal, one vessel remaining while the other fills her bunkers. and then they will ex- change places, as there is no telling what may happen in Port au Prince. Every one there was surprised at the prompt steps taken by Ad- miral Luce, who acted with great courte: unbending firmness, When lI left on Friday for this port, most of the Haytians were drun or rapidly becoming so, and it would take little to create a riot or even a revolution, Up Acarn Arter TwE: .
