THE AMERICAN RAILWAY CONCESSION CANCELLED.

An opera such as this, which has been pro- duced in every inwn of importance in Great Britain and America, must of a necessity travel to the Far East. It has been here before to- day, but no performance has excelled that of the Hongkong A. D. C. Individual interpre- tations may have done so, but as a whole, Saturday night's rendering is the best.

It is unnecessary to describe the plot. It is too well known. Suffice that the period of the opera is over a century ago. There are two young heroes, two young heroines, an irascible father of the girls. a bailiff's officer, an imate sionable elderly lady, and four subsidiary cha. racters. All these were well interpreted, but at the same time, there was much room for improvement.

The writer does not speak without authority, He bas seen Dorothy many times. He has been a playgoer, witnessing as many as three plays a week in London for many years, and criticis ing them professionally. Therefore, if in this

The Chinese Government has informed the U. S. Minister, Mr. Conger, that it has decided to cancel the concession to the American Com- pany for the Canton-Hankow railway.

Reports from native sources printed in the same issue state that as a result of the united and persistent stand made by the gentry and notables of Canton, assisted by a large number of men hailing from other provinces, a good mony #lunanese amongst them, against the

cause a few frank remarks-lendered in the friendliest manner-may be of use to the company.

Let us commence with Mr. George Lammert as Geoffrey Wilder. Mr. Lammert gave a nest consistent performance throughout. He was dignified, looked the character, acted well, and sang in his usual capable manner. In one of his songs, he was not quite happy, but his entire performance was good. His love scenes with Dorothy were full of tenderness ; in fact.

Although the Waiwupu had known perfectly well the trend of affairs in the South, the Department, following the line of least resistance, pretended to be unaware that more Russian and French chains were being forged for the empire in its southern dominions and ignored the protests made ever and anon by some more patriotic mandarin warning the Waiwupu of the danger menacing the country, Fortunately there are still many patriots in this country and.... these combining started an agitation in Canton, on behalf of the people of Kwangtung, against the selling of the railway to the agents of any other nation. Once the agitation was started by the calling together of a meeting in Canton of every one who had the welfare of their coupiry at hear, enthui siasm caught on like wild fire, more meetings were called, and then at a mass meeting a large and influential Committee was named with instructions to approach the Central Govern ment on the subject and give the Waiwupu to understand that here was the necessary back ing the timid Ministers needed, and that "any divergence from the path which point ed to the ine interest of the Empire wou'd be opposed by the inhabitants of Southern and Central China to the last gasp" Not contented with giving these hints to the Wai wupu, the Committee and their friends took the matter up to the Grand Council, and final ly into the Palace, with the result that the object of the people of South China has been gained, and the members of the American syndicate informed, through their Minister in Peking, that their agreement re the Canton Hankow Rallway has now "censed and deter- mined," and "lapsed through default" Those who have the matter in band intend that the line shall be constructed by Chinese alone, and many million taels have already been subscrib- ed and paid into the banks by wealthy gentry and notables not only of Kwangtung, but other provinces, to that end.

Only once did he disappoint and that was in the second act when he sang Queen of my Hart. is rendering of the song lacked the necessary passion, whilst his actions were over exuberant. It was a pity, because it was the only thing that marred an otherwise excellent perform ance. It is curious, but amateur actors almost invariably suffer from one of two faults, viz., paucity of gesture or exuberance of gesture. It cannot be too forcibly pointed out that the latter evil is the greater, Mrs. Webb, as Lydia, sang prettily, but was a little stiff in her acting Nervousness, however, may have been respon sible for much of this. Mr. W, M. Stewart surprised those who knew him by his good character study of Squire Boniam. He was the irascible old man to the life. It was a clever piece of acting throughout, and, togelber with his fine singing, deserves high praise.
