Portland, Oregon, Paul schuze, OF TINS CITY, who
has large interests In southeastern Alaska, and who
conversant with the character and dealings OF the
Indians, speaking OF the recent Smelling OF an Indian
village by ths United States Revenue Cutter Thomas
Corwn, in interview to-day, said that Captain Mer-
rmans demand for 400 blankets from the Indians for
having threatened the lives Of white and having
seized the coDpany's property entirely keeping
with the Indian custom Had Captain Merriman, after
making the demand not taken steps 10 punish
It's refusal, the lives and property OF white len would
have been in constant jeopardy These Indians respect
force, and when ruled with firm but just hand behave
well. They respect the English navy, because tho
" King George men "-English nen-1aye dealt firmly
with them the British Columbia coast but they do
not know what to make OF the shly-shay,
vacillating policy of the Boston men Amer cans.
The effect of Captain Merrmans action Is that the In

that tue Indians now respect our authority and II

There can be 10 doubt that the pictures by
Boston artists which first shown at the American
Art Gallery yesterday afternoon will meet with
and hospitsbe welcome This reception is due their
nerits The impressions brought from the private view
OF those paintings OF the influence OF out-ofdoor
work, OF general breadth and vigOr Of treatment and
OF greater freedom from the effects OF academic
ventionaty and from patterning after artist whose
potent personality and marked have done much
TO hamper the growth Of individual originality
In Boston studios. From this It naturally
follows that the quality Of the exhibition is high
INDEED, II reaches q standard which few New York
exhibitions have touched II 10 well that the collection
has been so carefully chosen and there 10 probably no
cause for regret that numbers only ninety six pictures
for the result as presented both harmonious and de-
lightfu The oniss Of tho exhibition rests upon the
shoulders Of only four or Ave artists who have eac
contributed considerable proportion Of the paintings
