THE Mercantile Agency of R. 6.

But' notwithstanding this fact the figures show the volume of business is large outhe whole, and larger than ever before at about half the eading centers outside of New York city.

America's Leading Tragio Aotieu o AohieTet a Qieat Triumph on th» • ' ; London Stage. [London Cablegram to New York Herald.] . The event of the week in the dramatic world was the debut of your fair country­ woman, Miss Mary Anderson, which was made this evening at the Lyceum Theater, whose stage has been made classic by the genius of Henry Irving: Miss Anderson has been sufficiently long in London to have be- oozne personally known to many of ton. leaders of the art world of the metropolis: .37 g .37* .86 & .68 13.76 018.00 . 8 • . 8 * 1.07 JO XI Lie M f 1.07H 0 .80* « -37J4 • 8.78 i? > anything they might desire. He said he was a builder by trade, and was going to settle fat NataL One ofthe persons who wss taken into toe secret was O'DonnelL When told that Power was none other than Carey, he decla' el that if he were but satisfied of the men's identity, 'he would 'd--d soon let daylight into his vile car­ cass,' and the ship aeems to have arrived here before Ms. doubts on this point had been removed. While toe Kin­ fauns Castle wps in the dock, Carey came ashore witi* his two eldest boys, and while in-town fell in with Williams and another man who came out in the ship, known as 'Scott.v.' Among other places they visited was the City Hotel In Wa erkant street, and while there an altercation arose among them on political questions. Carey said the English were a people to? base to live. If he had his way, he said, he would exterminate every one of them. Ireland for the Ir.sh! that's my motto,' he said. 'And what wonld they do with it?' re­ torted Scottv. '1 hey would eat one an­ other up.' 'Do you mean to say that they are cannibals?' roared Carey, and bis hand was on the throat of Seotty, whom he would bave choked but for the intervention of Williams, Saturday morning, when the Argu* appeared, it was known all over town that Carey had been"recognized, and the news soon spread over toe ship. Wiirams was ashore aboutlQ o'clock and p rocured a paper. When he got back to the ship Power aikedhlm ifhe orald let hint see a copy of the Argm. ana watched him while he read it He looked hurr edly through the peper until he came to what he required, read that,and then sat for some minutes with his hand covering his face. He asked permieslon to take the paper to his wife, who was In the cabin, a* there wss something in it which he *1 bed her to see He returned it a few minutes afterward, saying that it was »o dark in the cabin that he could not see to read He sub­ sequently asked for the loan of the paper a second tune, and is cam to have worn a verv terrified a:-pearainoe from the moment ho knew -that hie identity was established. From,what transpiredln Cape Town O'Don- nell seems to bave been satisfied as to bis man, and, in taking leave of Williams, who assured him that there could be no<donbt on the matter, he again vowed -that he would 'let daylight into toe eeoundrel before they got to-|henext port'" SHiP? it must a women be- her se evening was as jieariy perfect is a September night in London can ever be, and there waa no counter-attraction of sufficient potency to keep away toe best class of theater­ goers. The house, which has leng wit­ nessed the highest exhibitions of English dramatic art, waa ctowded, and it seemed as though the whole of artistic and critical London was assembled within Its walls. The debutant's reception in the first hoi was distinctly friendly, and soon became tinged with enthusiasm. Her figure was seen to be commanding from its height, although girlish in its supple and almoet terpentine slendeiness, ana the simple and coloiless drapery in which she had creased the part of Partn*nla lent grace to her pose and car ii age, which were always statu­ esque, without bearing the least impresi of study or self-c«HU)olousnesa The white- robea figure, withsinuoussrmSbaiedtothe shoulder and abundant brown hair hanging freely from the shapely head, with the tremulous mouth and theeurL of the short upper lip involuntarily suggesting pathetic power was a revelation, even V> those of tae audience who bad seen this fair girl in the conventional dress of the drawing-room or the promenade, and the ice of criticism' rapidly me ted in the glow of an involuntary entbuiiam.
