LONDON , Juno 27. [ New York -llorald
Cable Special to the BEI.J : Mrs. Brown
Totter was again unlucky , not In her action ,
which showed that she had improved in pose ,
emphasis , naturalness , repose and stage
technique , but in choice ot thu play , called
"Civil War. " Commonplace dialogue ,
wearying tale telling and absolute absence ol
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 : "I Infer that lev-
Ing's surrender of the Kngltsh rlithts in till ?
Frcncli play Is another proof of his shrewd
ness. " The audience was even more dis
tinguished than that which tlrst greeted Mrs.
Potter. While the tidtt of talk rose hlghei
and hleher scene by scene the auditors had
the relief of viewing each other.
In the royal box they saw next to the pro
scenium the young king of Greece , qulslcall ]
'eying his sister princess ot Wales ,
who , chatting with the duke of Sparta
Boomtd as brave as a Spartai
herself awaiting Incidents. The Prince o :
Wales seemed awed by certain comment o :
the society press on the last occasion of Mrs ,
Potter playing , and refrained from any ap
planso. Ilo appeared trying to prevent hit
yonnir relative , the princess of Saxc-Moin
cngor , from falling asleep at the dull dla
loguo.
Wearied of contemplating royalty , tin
auditors turned their lorgnettes upon tin
jubUeo Earl of Lonesboro , who occupied tin
box with George Lewis ; or upon the throi
Kothschllds-tho baron , Mr. Leopold am
Mr. Alfred or the gorgeous toilettes of tin
ladles accompanying them ; or upon tin
largo representation of Americans , whlcl
Included Mr. lilalno , who gallantly ap
plauded whenever ho could ; Judge Ingra
ham , Mine Host Breslln , Colonel and Mis :
Cody , Manager ( Illmoro , Mrs. Honnlds , Mrs
John Sherwood , Mrs. Bradly Martin , etc.
etc.
etc.Many
Many ladles amused themselves fron
yawning by Investigating the princess o
Wales' toilette cream satin dress , lichi
point lace , pearl embroidered , and at th
throat a cream ribbon , In the center of whlcl
was a Maltese cross of pearls and ruby , :
diamond bracelet and a white ros o In he
coliluro and cream suede gloves , with n
earrings. Mrs. Potter's three toilettes | f urthe
interested the lady auditors. First she wor
a white nun's veiling , trimmed with goli
embroidery , the sleeves of gold meshed pal
lavender silk , the sash and waist a la sur
pllceher. The second dress was a turqnols
cashmere and silk bauds ot irrodescent bin
beads , embroidery on the sleeves , pongc
summer cloak , lightly drooping from th
shoulders , a cream colored Tuscan straw hal
halt gamsboro , with white rich plume at th
side. Her third toilette was of widow'
weeds , crape cap bonnet , cuquettlshly won
leg ot mutton sleeves , to a crape dress cu
broldoreu , black silk stockings , but diamond
clasped at the throat and three dlaniou
rings on each hand.
But neither nice occasions , nor milliner :
and especially not merely distinguished aud
ences , can make a success of anydiama c
address. So dull a play has not been on tli
London stage for years. Herman Merlval
Boomed to tlilnk it would prove a tailuu
because only this morning ho published
card In whlcli lie said : " 1 am in a singult
position , not knowing how my su |
posed work ends. For the last tiv
weeks 1 have done all In my pow <
to avoid a public protest , but I was not con
suited about the production at the Galet ;
though at the eleventh hour I feel obliged I
say this much , having no alternative but a
Injunction , I sincerely hope to be obliged I
say no more. "
In the opinion of many present only tl
presence of the prince and princess , an
some sympathy for the lady who appeal
doomed to be mismanaged , prevented "civ
war" from actually occurring amen
the auditors. This notwithstanding an o :
cellent couipany supported Mis. Potto
Kyrlo Bellew , fresh from Wallack'g , as
wounded young soldier , or as a jnvenl
lover , or as a successful sculptor , and Am
Bosselle as a tender mother , with man
others mentioned In the Sunday dispatcl
each Rlvu their dialogue In a manner ft
above its value. Yet to no one , in
even to Mrs. Potter , was given wha
in theatrical parlance , could doubtfully L
called acting. Under such circumstances
would be unfair and tedious and prove
waste of time and space to enlarge upon tt
plot or at all criticise the acting.
However , It may not be amiss to add tin
.London critics gcneially condemn thopla
while some admit Mrs. Potter's a
vauco In acting slnco the first nlgj
in "Man nnd Wife. " Thu Teiegrai
bay's ' : "Tho curtain had scarcely bet
up live minutes before nvery one felt that tl
nctors had lost heart. They were norvclcs
spiritless and continually disappointing
Of Mrs. Pytter It adds : "Sho has unqiic
ttonably Improved and may be congratulate
on her steady aud persistent work. Mm
lias still to bo learned , much study got
through , much practice to lead on to pcrfo
tlon. But the spirit of address Is hero at
It would bo ungenerous not to encourage. "
Tlio Chronicle says : "It is to bo fean
that Mrs. Potter has not been well advlsi
In producing "Civil War , " as the pleco Is
ill constructed as to entirely fall to hold tl
attention of the audience , and she herself
Incapable of expressing the strong euiotlo
of heroines. "
IN THU COMMONS.
England and the Vatican The Crltn
mil.
LONDON. June 27. In the commons I
night W. 11. Smith , llrst lord of the troasur
replying to Johnston , said that no propo ;
to establish diplomatic relations betwc
England and the Vatican had ever been co
tcmplated , nor had any such proposal be
nindo to or by tun government. Smith a
nouiiccd that the government intended
pioceed with the crimes bill until it pass
uio report stage.
Kobortson , liberal , moved that a nowclai
be added to the bill providing that the ai
could bo repealed by order In council. Th
ho said , \\ould prexent the house of lot
keeping the act on the statute book in i
fiance of the wishes of the commons.
Balfour , chief secretary for Ireland , <
posed the new clause.
Morley moved that the duration of the i
be limited to three years. It wns the tl
time , he said , that any government had t
shameful courage to propose to ptirpetu ;
cordon.
. Webster , attorney general , opposed Me
ley's motion.
Ulndstoue urged that the special charac
of thn bill was tlio reason for limiting Its
duration. Its enactment as a permanent
measure would acgravato the existence of
the evils , Intensify that alienation and en-
strangemcnt from law wherein lay the
fundamental c\ll of Ireland's social conul-
tion.
tion.Sir Wilfred Lawson , supporting the amen d-
ment , said It was an honor to America to
send money to those fighting for the treo-
dom of Ireland. The amendment was re
jected.
The government has decided to close re
ports of the crimes bill on Tluusdav and ask
the house to proceed with the bill dally until
It passes third reading.

HonlIes Prom Railroad * .
WASHINGTON , Juno 27. The secretary of
ttio Interior has received answers from nil the
land grant railroads named In his rule dated
May 23,1837 , requiring them to show cause why
several orders of withdrawal from settlement
of lands within their Indemnity limits
should not bo revoked and the lands em
braced therein restored to settlement. The
St. 1'aul & 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
Imits of that company , certainly not until
.ho grant shall have been fully adjusted. It
lolds that so far as the Indemnity lands are
concerned the acts of 18.57 , IfcOl and lbC5 , bo
ne In part matnria the last two amendatory
if the earlier grant and all operating upon
ireclsoly the same subject matter , stand and
must he construed as one enactment and into
that enactment In Us entirety Is Incorpora
ted the provision which congress saw lit to
jnact In the seventh section of the act
March 3 , 1865 , viz. : A direction to the
iccretary of the Interior to withdraw from
tie market the land embraced by the pro-
irlslons of the act , and hence It follows that
the withdrawal of all indemnity laiuM ylng
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 carry
hat withdrawal Into effect he exhausted all
he powers of the land department over the
mbject matter ; that as the public lands of
ho United States are only disposable under
.ho direction of congress , it requires leglslix-
ion by that body before its enactment diull-
; atlng the lands In question to this partlcu-
ar purpose can bo repealed , modliicu or sot
abide ; and that congress not having repealed
Us legislation with respect to the grant , any
uttempt on the part of an executive olllcer by
way of revocatiou of the act of his predecessor
ser is in direct opposition to the expressed
.llrectlon of congress.
The Northern Pacific railway sets forth
that It has thus far promptly asseitcd Its
rights to lands within its indemnity limits
'o the extent that the action of the govern-
nent and land department will permit ;
.hat It can go no further uutll the irovern-
nent surveys the remaining granted and In-
lemnitv lands and no further than these .sur
veys' progress and until the completion ol
the surveys of sections In granted limits and
the adjudication ot the rights of the company
thereto. Neither the company nor your department -
partment can definitely determine to whal
extent it is entitled to laud within.Indemnitj

Anything to Hunt Cleveland.
WASHINGTON , June 27. { Special Tele
gram to ttio BKK.I The disaffection among
democrats towards Cleveland I ? beginning U
take definite shape. An Ohio democrat wh <
has been In Washington for some days
grew merry over a bottle of wine with i
friend a day or two ago and disclosed the In
teresting fact that there Is in Washington i
regular organization for the avowed purpose
of defeating Cleveland for a renomlnation ,
The Ohio man refused to talk for some time
but when the wine began to work ho tuimlt
ted that the presence of himself and ottioi
prominent democrats who have been gather
ing in Washington for some time had thai
object in view , ilo himself Is counted out
of the smartest democratic workers In OliU
and the headquarters of the organization ai
on Pennsylvania avenue over a lancy good
store in charee of an ox-democratic con
gressman from Ohio. Circulars have bcei
prepared. which will bo sent al
over the country , arraigning th <
administration for not "turning the rascal :
out" and charging that It Is Influenced tr
"mugwump republicans" and not run in accordance
cordanco with thu alms and purposes o
democracy. No preference Is expressed fo
any one man. The battle cry Is , "Anybod' '
to beat Cleveland , " but the tone of the circii

The organization has been but recentlv per

to a tremendous opposition to Cleveland in

visiting friends elsewhere. Sunday morn
ing , upon the servants entering the dining
room , they discovered that every piece of
silver which usually adorned the sideboard
was gone. Mr. and Mis. Swinburne were
instantly aroused , and upon nn examination
being made they discovered that Mrs. Hum
phreys' rooms had also been rans.ickod and
lier bureau drawers , boxes , chests and jewel
cases opened and robbed. Swinburne eaya
ho cannot tell how much has been taken
until his sister returns , but knows her loss
will bo heavy. Swinburne at once commu
nicated with the police and demanded that
an Immediate Inquiry bo made. His son ,
who Is an adopted child but upon who Swin
burne has lavished all the luxuries , has boon
known to the uollce as a wild young fellow.
He IMS been In all kinds ot trouble , but big

to bring him to the right path. Thu police
know him however better than the father
does. For some time ho has not been IIvine
at home , bolng ostensibly engaged In trans

it. They went to work upon tlio case
promptly , and about 4 o'clock Sunday after
noon airested young Swinburne , Congdeu
and John Allentlioltitter a very well known
young man ot respectable parentage. The
shock to Swinburne Is tmrlhle , anil his wlto
Is pidstrated with grief. Swinburne is a
