George H.

Francis Mur I phy must lie or, perhaps one. would! say, loved, so mucn 01 tenaerness ana gentleness is expressed in them. There is a beautiful example of Wyant, gray and sober, which' takes one away from the Jar and glare of town into cool, wide spaces of the country, and a Shurtleff, a wood Interior, thathas much of the Wyant quality and a hint of the "Wyant manner. Douglas Volk's Reverie" is rather solidly painted and gracefully posed young woman, Jast a shade lacking in such softness of line as one finds in the luminous nude by Mr. Davies.

The sharp lighting and forcible contrasts in Julian Cottages" make that picture declamatory, and something of this forcing of effect is seen iv tht De fiaas cattle piece.

"On; Fisher's Island," by Bolton Jones, shows a gratifying move toward greater force and breadth In the always careful and truthful work of that artist. Even William T.

Richards shares something of this modern spirit, for his "Land's End" is not weakly green and dry, as are so many ot his sea, pictures. A natty figure, by Kaemmere'r, typical specimens of the story pictures' of Lesrel, Lerolle, Lalssement, Baixeras, and a few men of that kind, some of the metaHic animals of Verboeckhoven, and a group of really good examples of French impressionism, by Loiseau, Moret and. d'Espagnat, are conspicuous among the foreign pictures. There are some charming, little landscapes and mai lnes by Minor, McCord, Clark, Rebn, Howe, Bla'kelock, Lathrop and Pauli, and a beautifully painted cattle group, with a 'white, and black bull in the foreground, by Carleton Wiggins. Friends of late Mrs.

SENATE REPORTS FAVORABLY. Brooklyn Man Honored by the Kaiser. War College Plans Shaping Eagle Bureau, 608 Fourteenth Street.

Washington. February 6 The labor interests have secured a favorabla report from the Senate committee on judiciary on Senator Hoar's bill to "limit the meaning of the word 'conspiracy' and the use of 'restraining orders and injunctions in certain cases." This measure was before the House at the last session, but' was defeated because of an amendhient that was made to it, and which was not acceptable to the labor If the Hoar bill passes the Senate this year. It will in all probability be amended in the House again. The bill is intended to legalize agreements, combinations and conspiracies between "two or more persons" in connection with the furtherance of trade disputes between employers and employes engaged in interstate commerce. It also prohibits the issuance of restraining order against those who thus coti spire.

The measure has aroused the opposition of those who believe that It Is an exceedingly unwise proposition, and that it gives legal authority and sanction to; con spiracles of organized. labor that could be used to tie up the railroads of the country. A similar bill camp before the House at the last session and was referred to the committee on judiciary. There It was turned over 'to Representative LtttleSeld for consideration. He regarded aa especially dangerous the provision that "such agreement, combination or contract" should not be considered as in restraint of trade or commerce, and it was accordingly struck out.

Another change was made with a view to correcting possible evils that might grow out of the bill as first drawn. After the declaration that restraining orders should not be Issued with relation to "such agreement, combination or contract," this provision was Inserted by Mr. Littlefleld as an amendment: "Provided, that the provisions of this act shall not apply to threats to injure the person or the property, business or occupation of any person, firm, association or corporation to intimidation or coercion, or to any acts causing or intended to cause an illegal interference, by overt acts, with the rights of others." The bill, without this amendment, and as it has now been reported by the Senate Judicirry Committee, would authorize a large number of persons engaged in the "furtherance of a trade dispute" to orally threaLen personal violence and injury to persons, property, business and occupations to intimidate and coerce by oral threats as such an act, when committed by one person, is not punishable as a crime. The bill as thus amended was reported from the House Judiciary Committee, but it was ap parent that it was not satisfactory to labor people. Ther tried to have the' mat ter brought up for a' tfote, so that amend' ments could be made to it, but the session progressed to a point where the only chance of having the measure considered was to have it takon up under a suspension of the rules.

Bills considered fa this way are hot open to amendments. It was arranged that this should be done, but on the day when the bill was brought up certain members got up and stated that they had been informed by the labor representatives that they did not' want the bill passed in its existing shape, and that they demanded the privilege of presenting amendments. This, of course, was impossible, and the whole matter was dropped for that Congress. Representative Littlefleld informed the Eagle correspondent to day that he had not changed his opinion regarding the bill since last year, and that he would not vote for the measure in the shape In which It was reported by the Senate Committee. He believes that It would be a dangerous law to put on Iho statute books, and would give to the laboring people a tremendous power that might be used harmfully.

He explained that the trainers of the bill got their Idea from a somewhat similar English law. But hp that the. bill as copied was only a section of an English law, and that the other portions of it imposed such restrictions on the English working people as to render the part about conspiracies and injunctions utterly harmless. The American people would never consent to the enact 'ment of the other provisions of the English law, ot which the Hoar bill is but a section. The Hoar, bill authorizes combinations between employes in cases of trade disputes that might imperil the whole Interstate commerce of tho country without redress or remedy.

It says in one breath that corporations that undertake to restrict trade commit a crime, and in another breath declares that whenever laboring men see fit to obstruct and paralyze trade It is perfectly lawful and no crime at all. Secretary Root Is rapidly getting his plans into' shape for actual work at the War Col lege, 01 wnicu ne is "War College Plans Shaping Up. such an enthusiastic advocate. He has now appointed a president and a faculty, and all that remains to be done is to get officers to assign to the school for instruction. General Young is to be president, and has already been assigned to the barracks in this city to act In this capacity.

The faculty to consist of eight officers, four of whom have been chosen. They are the respective heads of the main branches of the military service, as follows: General Randolph, chief artillery officer; General J. Franklin Bell, now In charge of the infantry school at Fort Leavenworth, General Gillespie, chief of engineers, and Colonel Mills, superintendent of the military academy. Four line officers are to be selected as the other members of the faculty, and in all probability they will be taken from the department commanders In this country. The greatest obstacle in the way if the War College is the scarcity of officers to form classes.

The whole scheme of instruction has been mapped out, but there is such, a heavy demand for 1 Ulcers for service in the Philippines that so far no considerable nunii her have been available. In fact, the leaves of absence Of certain officers home from the Philippines have been cut short in some instances, so that they might rejoin their regiments in the field. In the last issue of Bryan's paper, the moner, the editor tells of his visit to the East and incidentally throws some flowers at Bryan Consoles H'mself for Past Defeats. himself over the success of his lecturing tour. He thus out lines his.

plans tor the future, and naively comf rts himself for the loss of the presidency. Mr. Bryan has stated through the Commoner and on the platform that he intends to devote hio life to the study and discussion of public questions. The newspaper and the platform furnish the best opportunities for reaching the people. The paper is within the means of all who de3ire i to read it.

and reaches a larger number than I can be reached by lectures. And yet there i are many who attend a meeting, who Would not subscribe for the paper, and a lecture affords a better means than a campaign speech ter the calm consideration of 'the principles of government. Editorial work and lecturing go well together, the former furnishing material thnt can be utilized In a speech, while nn audience supplies an Inspiration that is lacking ln the editorial sanctum. Both writing and speaking furnish such, agreeable occupati that one does not notice the loss of a little thing like the presidency Enrique Muller, a Brooklyn thotugTapher, 1 i Y. M.

Colonel Greene's reports to the members of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company are always Interesting reading and the statement of the company published in another colume is no exception to the rule. His argument that' 'there is one thing that Insurance companies can do better than 'any other thing, and that Is the Insuring, of lives, will meet approval of the conservative men Conservatism has been the backbone of the business and the succcbs of the Connecticut Mutual, and in Incisive fashion Colonel Greene gives reasons that seem unanswerable why his own and 'other companies should attend strictly to business for which they were organized, leaving outside issues alone.

There are some.gures.in the reports and statements that are worth studying, as showing what insurance can do fo'r tho insured when the legitimate purpose of tho company is solely attended to. With sixty five and a quarter millions of assets and seven millions of surplus as a result 'of careful, and with regularly sustained dividends at an Increasing ratio, even In these lean years. Colonel Greene shows himself as one spea'king with authority. What he has to about the staying qualities of the members of the company and the high quality of the risks Insured "as shown1 by the fact that the mortality rate has, not yet reached the aver of expectation, is one of tne strongest of proofs of that conservative' management that has brought about aucn successrui re sults as the annual statement gives to the 70,000 policy holders of the company.

DOUGHERTY EXPLAINS. He Did Not Support Manufacturers' Association Bill Last Year. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The Eagle this evening represents my attitude in relation to Senator McCarren's bill for the appointment ot a water commission as "a surprise," and asserts that, last year, I was "strongly in favor of the present plan." The Eagle has. fallen Into an error, which It will, I believe, be ready to corrett. when the fact is made clear.

I had no part, last year. In the drafting of the Manufacturers' Association bill, nor did I ever give it my support. I never saw the bill of this year until after its introduction into the Legislature and never was ope of its advocates. In a recent conversation. with Mr.

Chadwlck, Its draftsman and Its sponsor, I was told by him that I bad nevtr agreed to sustain it. but had always stood aloof, and such Is the fact; nor do I remember have discussed the measure With any one else, at any time. Mr. Emerson has somewhere said that consls tepcy is the hob goblin of little minds: but eVjtn this charge of so far as my view of the water cohrmisBlon bill is concerned. "Is groundless.

Bay Twenty second street, near Eighty sixth street, wuurnay. at i si. t.aptain uralley was a memoer ot many social ami oraers, fn tuis county, wno win dc represented at the funeral services. 1 1 i I ordinance shall be adopted except upon terms approved Dy said board. At a later session section 73 was amended so as to permit the grant of a tunnel rall road franchise for fifty years with also tbe right to grant renewals not to exceed In the aggregate twenty five years; provided how ever that any grant to construct a tunnel railroad or renewal thereof, Bhall only be made after an agreement has been entered Into by such tunnel corporation to pay to the City of New York at least three per ccntum of the net profits derived from the use of any tunnel it shall construct, after shall have first been retained by the company from such net profits a sum equal to five per centum, upon the sum expended to construct such tunnel.

These provisions do not appear to bp satli factory to parties interested In cow tunnel enterprises and therefore instead of amending the provisions, specially relating to tun nel railroads now included In said section seventy three an additional amendment Is presented which authorizes tbe common council, in Its discretion, to grant a tunnel imiiuu ui un lu un uurduun, liiri 13 a perpetual franchise If the local authorities so decide. The grant is to be "for the construction and operation, under any lands, streets, avenues, waters, rivers, parkways, highways or public places in the city of New York, of such tunnel railroad or railroads with nil necessary sidings, platforms. stations, itii Miiii't iyr hclkh.i to iuv sunace. to to the surface upon private lauds at the terminus, by which wo suppose is meant landa acquired by the company. In hill every such grant shall contain and be subject to conditions requiring payment to the City of New York by the rallrcod.

of reasonT able compensation therein prescribed, which Khali be readjuptahle at inetrvals of not less than twenty five years, and prescribing a rcu EOnablc period within which said railroad shall be completed. As the' anic ndrat nt prescribes what conditions shall bo imposed by tbe common council it may be open to the contention that no other condltlona are authorized to be Inserted In tho grant although the local authorities might consider It their duty to Insert, provisions deemed by them to bo neces sary for the public healtn and safety whether such a view of the case would bo sustained or rejected by the courts, the mat ter of city supervision of the use of any tun nel constructed under this section should bo terlzed the industrial progress ot the United States during the past quarter of a century none has attracted, more 'attention and brought about' more desirable results than the manufacture of cottonseed products. Prior to 18C0. the disposal of "cottonseed the gln'ner and the community 'great concern. The seed was usually hauled to a remote place to rot, or dumped onto some convenient stream of running water.

With the growth of population and in cotton culture, this method of disposal often became a nuisance, ill some localities where the soli required replenishing the thrifty farmers employed the seed as a fertilizer. It was discovered that through tho manipulations of the oil mill all ot the value of the seed as a fertilizer was retained, and at the same time it was, through its byproducts, made 'to contribute marvelously to the general economy of wealth. The result is that from a product that was deemed a nuisance in 1857 there was produced in 1900 a value' of over $42,000,000, and only 51 per cent, of the available raw material was utilized." Secretary Wilson has received a report from David C. Falrchild. a.

special agent of the Department of Trade Awakening in China. Agriculture, who is traveling In Asia, in which he says that China Is rapidly get ting back to a normal condition. The missionaries who erc frightened out of the country by the Boxer troubles are returning to their posts, and the outlook for trade is much improved. Mr. Falrchild: says, that the Chinese government, to pay its war indemnity, has levied a tax of five American cents a year on each rafter ot every house in the country.

Foreigners already pay about 5 per cent, ad valorem on practically everything imported. The viceToy In Canton is already having great difficulty in collecting the taxes, and white people living there say this tax on tbe natives is arousing a great deal of animosity toward the foreigners. "The growth of our agricultural, as well as other exports to China," says Mr. Fairchlld. "will be.

a phenomenal one, and include many clnsses of canned 'and dried goods from bur orchards an preserved meats' and dairy products from our farms and ranches." A. B. A. MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES; George Grossmlth will, make his only ap B.qoklyu this 'evening at the. Academy of Music.
