AUDIENCE APPLAUDS ANTIENGLISH PLAY.
BUT HOSTILE PUBLIC DEMANDS -WITHDRAWAL POLICE INTERVENE. Received Sunday, 7.0-p.m. PARIS,' Sept. 21. Maurice Rostand's new play, Napoleon IV, has aroused strong criticism, owing to his suggestion that the son of Napoleon 111, Avho was killed while serving with the British Army in Zululand in .1879, was really ns'sos'ainated by a British officer forsaking him when the natives attacked. The play also suggests that Queen Victoria was privy-to the plot to put the Prince out of the way. Despite the sympathy of the firstnight., audience with its anti-English tirades, the public is becoming irritated and is [demanding the withdrawal of jthe play, as it is a gratuitous insult, to England. Tfiere was a demonstration against the play last night,-such, as necessitated* police intervention to restore order.
