Under the great canopy of canvass where the tine' riug performance oc curs, one’s, first impression would be that the whole population, of Bruns wibk eould be accommodated in the tier.; upon tiers ot seats, stretching about the wide amphitheater. The performance begins with the speetaelc, “Solomon the Queen of Sheba,” a blaze of "inagni fiuenc’r*wh Ich dazzles the eyrs. The costumer worn in this spectacle alone exceed in value the entire property of moat traveling shows. The scene is first without and then within the grand temple of Solos mon, the incident of the two mothers who claim the same child is faithfully enated in pantomime, the great King mounts his gorgeoue throne} and dis penses imperial justice and then aounds the blast of trumpets In the distance, announcing the approach of the mag nificent cavalcade escorting Sheba’s beauteous queen to the oourt of the Wisest of Men. The conrt, its mailed protectors, and ita long flies of resy dancing girls go en masse to meet the queenly visitor, and tho conjoined co horts of SolonK>fi and Sheba present a most impressive and Imposing ‘speo tacle se they make the circuit of the great tent.

'“The Ghitfesie questiou, so far as vi ral ieeues are ooneerned, msy be treat ed as solved. The work of the powers in China is now one of detail. Contro versial elements acd units must be grouped, and administrative functions must ba made secure. Granting the postulate that Chinese integrity mu3t be proserved, there is left of the Qhl nese situation nothing but careful la bor to ascertain tfew' relative righte of all The vital ques tiqa from this time will be the dispo sition of the various treaty rights and concessions. Germany stands for open ports and free access to the Oriental Uzde. If new treaties are negotiated— individually by the powers with China or oolleotively by the congress of min isters now in session at Pekin-other questions of detail and administration may obtrude themselves.
