POLLARD'S LILLIPUTIANS.

If nightly packed houses, vociferous applause, and trebly repeated encores speak at all, they speak to the unqualified success achieved, and attraction afforded, by the little actors and actresses composing the Pollard's Lilliputian troupe. Last night was just another example of the rule, for when the curtain rose on the second performance of "The Grisha" there was not an empty seat in the auditorium of the

Theatre Royal, and latecomers had to be, and apparently were, content with standing-toora only. And well-repaid were those who were present, for the charm of this i tyllic piece was well developed by there most clever little peo ple, and from beginning to end the play went with a verve and swing that was remarkable with so juvenile a troupe.

Considerable time was spent at Newchwang in negotiations incident to the seizure between the Japanese and foreign consuls, with the result that, according to reports, brought down by regular steamers plying between Chefeo and Newchwang, much of the live stock has died, being without water and necessary rest. The cattle were at one time ualoaded, but were almost immediately returned to the ship.
