JOHN M. OLAKKK.
About eight hundred persons were
present at tbe Opera House oh Saturday
evening, it belpg the pccuion of the sec
ond appearance o{. the comedian John Ö.
Clarke- The plays presented were the
"Ueir-»t-Law,and Toodles." jnr. Clarke
of course appeared to the principal roles,
and sustained bis reputation as a come
dian. Whether Mr. Clarke thought that
the audience wee too small far him to do
bis best actlug or not, or whether it was
for some other reasons, certain It is that
he ha* acted better tb*u he did on Natur«
day eveulog.
It may be that the character of Dr.
Fanoloee require* rapid speaking, If so it
should be raised, tn order that an entire
audience could bear what the actor was
saying. Those who were seated in tbe
back part, of the auditorium, could not
bear the word* that tbe doctorjwas speak

to a few other*. Tbe "Toedlea" of Mr.
W. A. Chapman 1* far superior to that of
Mr. Clarke and has provoked more real
mirth here than did that of (he great
comedlau. Tbe support was up to tbe
average, but will not bear a general criti
cism. No doubt there would have been
more persous present if the price of
general admission hadn't have
much—73 cents.

•THE 'WAR.
GERMANT AND ITALY (SUDDENLY
BAR THE .DARDANELLES TO
ENGLAND.
Will Brits n Save the Turk?
Russia's Progress in Roumelia.
London, Jan. 14, 1878.
A crisis in the East is near at band.
The situation has become greatly com
plicated within the past few boars. Italy
and Germany bave suddenly brought
England face to face with a new issue
more startling to her people than any
event since the beginning of tbe war.
The Standard's Constantinople cor
respondent states that, the Frince of
Keus8, the German Minister, and Count
Corti, the Italian Minister, informed the
Porte that if It permits the British fleet
to come to Constantinople Germany and
I aly will also demand permission for
their fleets to pass through the Dardan
elles.
MORE THAW A TRIPLE ALLIANCE.
2he unquestioned dominance of Rus
sia In the field has forced England to
order her fleet from Malta to its old
chorage in Besika Bay with the presumed
intention of entering the Dardanelles at
an early day. Germany [and Italy sud*
deuly declare that they have interests in
the East as well as the Britons. Per
haps Spain, having a tolerable navy,may
have something to say.
At any rate the the action or the Ger
man and Italian governments is unequiv
ocal. Bismarck's policy is made clearer
to tbe world. He is determined that
England shall not perform acts really
warlike unless she arrays herself before
tbe world as Russia's open enemy. She
shall not goto Gallipoli except as au ac
tive ally of the Turk. The importance
of the action of these two powerful na
tions cannot be exaggerated,
den reappearance of Italy as a Mediter
ranean Power indicates that the govern
ment ot King Humbert I, Is disposed to
assert Italy's claims to a Controlling in
fluence in Eastern politics.
THl CAUSE OF GERMANY'S ACTION.
A despatch from Malta announces that
Vice Admiral Hornby has sailed for the
Levant on the Iron-clad, steamer Sultan.
The iron-clads Devastation, Achilles and
Alexandra, and the frigate Raleigh
preparing to follow. The force in
dock yard is working till eight o'clock
every Eight. The troop ship Jumna,
homeward bound from India, with 1,067
men, is detained at Malta. The Eu
phrates, outward bound, with 1,142 men,
Is also detained there.
The Grand Duke Nicholas telegraphed
to St. Petersburg from Gabrova yesterday
as follow«:— 1 "1 have arrived here and
await further intelligence from General
Radetaky. To-morrow (Monday) I cross
the Balkans. Ten thousand prisoner» ar
rived here, and are being despatched to
various destinations.
South of tfie JiaUcana,
"Karzolf, afier clearing the Gyopsa Val
ley of Turks, despatched a column toward
Ka lofer and has occupied Kilssura, where
he nnlted the detachments of hi*» division
coming from nlalltza and Teteven. Gener
al Gourko has occupied Ikbtiman,"
Jeni-Hciffhra Captured.
A Constantinople despatch reports that .
the Russians enteied Jeni-Baghra on
Saturday. Tue place was previously
burned by the retreating Turks
Adrianople Cannot be Defended.
A Vienna correspondent telegraps the
following:—"Advices from Turkey show
that the works of Adrianople are ouly
partially armed and unfitted to resist an
attack. In Constantinople it is believed
possible that Adrianople may be carried
by a coup de main."
THE CAPITAL NO BETTER DEFENDED.
The formications of Constantinople are
nsequently being looked to a* a last
sort, although they seem to be In even a
worse condition. Everything points to the
complete confusion and dismay of the
Turks._
