THE OMAHA Dairy BEE SEVENTEENTH YEAR. MRS, POTTER AGAIN FIZZLES. The ' tler Joo Heroine Makesa Very Poor Showing in London. “CIVIL WAR" A FLAT FAILURE, The Trouble Said to Be With the Play and Not With the Acting— A Brilliant Audience Present. Another Potter Fallure. (Copyright 1857 by James Goran Bennett.) LONDON, June 2 [New York -Herald Cable—Special to the Brk.]—Mrs. Brown Potter was again unlucky, not in her action, which showed that she had fmproved in pose, emphasis, naturalness, repose and stage technique, but in choice of the play, called “Civil War.,” Commonplace dialogue, wearying tale telling and absolute absence of action are its characteristics, The audience looked politely bored for nearly three hours, and everyone going out seemed to appreciate the mot of Manager Henry French, temporarily here, pleasantly spoken: “Linfer that lcv- Ing’s surrender of the English rights in this French play is another proof of his shrewd- ness.” The audience was even more dis- tinguished than that which tirst greeted Mrs. Potter. While the tide of talk rose higher and higher scene by scene the auditors had the relief of viewing each other. In the royal box they saw next to the pro- scenlum the young king of Greece, quisically eying his sister prineess ot Wales, who, chatting with the duke of Sparta, peomed as brave as a Spartan herself awaiting incidents. The Prince of ‘Wales seemed awed by certain comment of the society press on the last occasion of Mrs. Potter playing, and refrained from any ap- plause. He appeared trying to prevent his younu relative, the princess of Saxe-Mein- enger, from falling asleep at the dull dia- logue. Wearled of contemplating royalty, the auditors turned their lorgnettes upon the Jubllee Earl of Lonesboro, who occupied the Dbox with George Lewis; or upon the three Rothschilds—the baron, Mr. Leopold and Mr. Alfred—or the gorgeous toilettes of the ladies accompanying them; or upon the large representation of Americans, which included Mr. Blaine, who gallantly ap- plauded whenever he could; Judge Ingra- ham, Mine Host Breslin, Colonel and Miss Cody, Manager (zilmore, Mrs. Ronalds, Mrs. John Sherwood, Mrs. Bradly Martin, ete., ete. Many ladies amused themselves from yawning by investigating the princess of Wales’ tollette—cream satin dress, fichu voint lace, pearl embroidered, and at the throat a cream ribbon, in the center of which was a Maltese cross of pearls and ruby, a diamond bracelet and a white rose in her coiffure and cream suede gloves, with no earrings. Mrs. Potter’s three toilettes |further Interested the lady auditors. First she wore & white nun’s veiling, trimmed with gold embroidery, the sleeves of gold meshed pale lavender sllk, the sash and waist a la sur- pliceher. The second dress was a turquoise cashmere and silk bands ot irredescent blue beads, embroidery on the sleeves, pongee summer cloak, lightly drooping from the shoulders, a cream colored Tuscan straw hat, half gainsboro, with white rich plume at the side. Her third toilette was of widow’s weeds, crape cap bonnet, coquettishly worn, leg ot wmutton sleeves, to a crape dress em- broidered, black silk stockings, but diamonds clasped at the throat and three diamond rings on each hand. But nelther nice occasions, nor millinery, and especially not merely distinguished audi- ences, can make a success of any drama or address. So dull a play has not been on the London stage for years. Herman Merivale seemed to think iv would prove a failure, because only this morning he published a card In which he said: *Iam in a singular position, not Kknowing how my sup- posed work ends. Kor the last five weeks 1 have done all in my power to avoid a public protest, but 1 was not con- sulted about the production at the Galety, though at the eleventn hour I feel obliged to say this much, having no alternative but an Injunction, I sincerely hope 1o be obliged to say no more.” In the opinion of many present only the presence of the prince and princess, and some sympathy for the lady who appears doomed to be mismanaged, prevented ‘‘civil war’ from actually occurring among the auditors, This notwithstanding an ex- cellent company supported Mrs. Potter. Kyrle Bellew, fresh from Wallack’s, as a wounded young soldler, or as a juvenile lover, or as a successful sculptor, and Awmy Rosselle as a tender mother, with many others mentioned in the Sunday dispateh, each give their dialogue In a manner far ve its value. Yet to no ome, not even to Mrs. Potter, was given what, in theatrical parlance, could doubtfully be cealled acting. Under such circumstances it would be unfair and tedious and prove a ‘waste of time and space to enlarge upou the plot or at all criticise the acting. However, it may not be amiss to add that London critics generally condemn the play, while some admit Mrs. DPotter’'s ad- wvanca In acting since the first night in_ “Man and Wite” The Telegraph says: “The curtain had scarcely been up five minutes before every one felt that the actors had lost heart. ‘They were nerveless, spiritless and continually disappointing.” Of Mrs. Pytter it adds: *“She has unques- tlonably improved and may be congratulated on her steady and persistent work. Much has still to be learned, much study gone through, much practice to lead on to perfec- tlon, But the spirit of address Is here and 1t would be ungeuerous not to encourage.” ‘The Chronicle says: “It is to be feared that Mrs, Potter has not been well advised in producing “Civil War,” as the piece is so 11l constructed as to entirely fail to hold the attention of the audience, and she herseit is incapable of expressing the strong emotions of heroines.” FE IN THE COMMONS, England and the Vatican—The Crimes Bill. LONDON. June 27.—In the commons to- night W. H. Smith, first lord of the treasury, replying to Johnston, said that no proposal to establish diplomatic relations Dbetween FEngland and the vaticar. had ever been con- templated, nor had any such proposal been made to or by the government. Swmith an- nounced that the government intended to ced with the crimes bill until it passed report »lnfe. Robertson, liberal, moved that a new clau: be added to the bill providing that the acts could be repealed by order in council, This, sald, would prevent the house of lords eeping the act on the statute book in de- fiance of the wishes of the commons.

PLAUSIBLE PLEAS PUT FORTH. The Claim Made That the Interior Department Has No Jarisdic- tion at Present—Miles’ Ari- zona Indian Campaign, Renlies From Rallroads. WAsHINGTON, June 27.--The secretary of the Interior has recelved answers from all the land grant railroads named in his rule dated May 23,1887, requiring them to show cause why several orders of withdrawal from settlement of lands within their indemnity limits should not be revoked and the lands em- braced therein restored to settlement, The St. Paul & Sioux City railroad company in its answer takes the position that it is beyond the power and jurisdiction of the secretary of the interior, as the law stands, to restore to settlement any lands within the indemnity limits of that company, certainly not until the grant shall have been fully adjusted. It holds that so far as the indemnity lands are concerned the acts of 1857, 1864 and 1865, be- ing in pari materia the last two amendatory of the earlier grant and all operating upon vrecisely the same subject matter, stand and must he construed as one enactuent and into that enactinent in its entirety is incorpora- the provision which congress saw fit to enact in the seventh section of ti act March 8, 1865, viz.: A direction to the secretary of the interior to withdraw from the market the land_embraced by the pro- visions of the act, and hence it follows that the withdrawal of all indemnity landsl ying within twenty miles of the line of their road was legislative withdrawal. 'That when the secretary of the interior issued the necessary executive or administrative order to carr that wittidrawal into effect he exhausted ail the powers of the land department over the subject matter; that as the emhllc lands of the United States are only disposable under the direction of congress, it requires legisl tion by that body before its enactment dedi- cating the lands in question to this particu- lar purpose can be repealed, moditied or set aside; and that congress not having repealed its legislation with respect to the grant, any attempt on the part of an executive officer & way of revocation of the act of his pre sor is in direct opposition to the expressed direction of congre: ‘The Northern Pacific railway sets forth *‘that it has thus far l‘ll'umlvlly asserted its rights to lands within its indemnity lmits to the extent that the action of the “govern- ment and land department will perm that it can go no_further until the covern ment surveyvs the remaining granted and in- demnity lands and no further than these sur- veys' progress and until the completion of the surv tlons in granted limits and the adjudication of the rights of the company thereto, either the company nor your de- partment can definitely determine ‘to what extent it is entitled to land within,indemnity limits.” Anything to Beat Cleveland, WasmiNGgToN, June 27.—|Special Tele- gram to the BEE.]—The disaffection among democrats towards Cleveland is beginning to take definite shape. An Ohlo democrat who has been in Washington for some days, grew merry over a bottle of wine with a friend a day or two ago and disclosed the in- teresting fact that there is in Washington a regular organization for the avowed purpose of defeating Cleveland for a renomination. ‘The Ohio man refused to talk for some time, but when the wine began to work he admit- ted that the presence of himself and other prominent democrats who have been gather- ing in Washington for some time had.that object in view. tle himselt is counted one of the smartest democratic workers in Ohio and the headquarters of the organization are on Pennsylvania avenue over a fancy goods store in charze of an ex-democratic con- gressman from Ohio. Circulars have been vrepared, which will sent all ove the country, arraigning the administration for not “turning the rascals out” and charzing that it is influenced by “mugwump republicans” and not run in_ ac- cordance with_ the aims and purposes of democracy. No preference is expressed for any one man. ‘T'he battle ery is, bady to beat Cleveland,”” but the tone of the circu- lar sounds very mueh like the *“‘faithful” were preparing to center around Governor Hill as being a better exponent of true dem- ocratic id from the spoils standpoint. ‘The organization has been but recentlv per- fected and is known to but few people, It will without doubt prove the entering wedge to a tremendous opposition to Cleveland in- side of the party and its development will be watched with FIN\SIH’Q» ‘There are a great many democratic politicians here now, and many of these are uoulinu:-ll{ dropping in at the headquarters.
