JAPANESE ART OBJECTS

TO ne EditOr OF The TrtOune.
SIR: Permit me to say few words in refer
,nce to the alleged antique japanese art objects exhib
tied at the Boston Exposition TO which The TRIBUNE has
called the attention of its readers in editorial OF the
2lst inst under the heading OF Spurious Art Work I"
The sOcaled antique japanese art objects exhibited
there by Boston dealer who claims, either Intentionally
through ignorance, antiquity for his collections; and
desire this fact TO be clearly understood, FOR not
of the japanese exhibitors pretended TO have exbb
tied any collection OF antique art objects at that exhbi
ton They too honest to claim antiquity for modern
productions and their chief In taking part in that
exhibition to show what Japan produce to-day.
In the article above mentioned THE TRIBUNE referred
to the deterioration Of japanese art works brought by
the Western demand for japanese cuos. II Is true
that the sudden increase Of the Western demand for jap
anese art objects and consequent commercial spirit in
Japan did at time threaten 20 destroy the artistic
eenenee of former tines but happily for japanese art
The Government and the better classes OF merchants and
art dealers have combined TO check this sad tendency,
ana their Is already realized 10 great extent
heYer companies have been established under the spe
cti protection OF the japanese Government and their

IA ring of observing stations was formed about
the North Pole prior to August l, 1882, in accord
ance with the international scheme advocated by
Lieutenant WeypTecht, the Arctic explorer. The
northernmOst Of these stations, at Discovery Har-
Dor. Lady Franklin Bay, was manned by officers and
men of the United States Signal Service. The
Greedy Colony went north In 1891. a year in ad-
vance, and expected TO cooperate with the other
Arctic stations in general scheme of systematic
scientific observations, occupying one year. The
Proteus, Captain Pike, which carried Lieutonant
Greedy north in 1881. brought back the last news
that has been received from him.-Edl

The stock speculation to-day took Arrest so to speak
The market dull that, except for little ac-
tiyity that was impaired 10 operations in the last
quarter of an hour the fluctuations i'll the general
list hardly exceeded q brokers' commission. One
hundred and seventy thousand eight hundred
and tbirty-three shares made up the total OF the
davis transactions. OF this total Union Pdcihc FUR
nished 1878 shares at figures within the range OF
76lsa 1864, until in the last few minutes, when
the price advanced from 76le tn T7lsa7 -.
Paul furnished 33, 400 shares all within range
of l. per cent, and Oregon and Trans
continental contributed 1s,100 shares at
prices between 3O6s and 1913. Michigan Central
again was scarce for delivery and commanded La
per cont for use; but the dealings in 1t were
small and il closed the same as last evening. Tie
other stocks that sometimes commanded a small
premium were Union Pacific, Central and Hud-
SON. and Central of Ncw-Jersey. all of which loaned
from fat to I-64 per cent premium Tho market
closed dull and featureless, at prices generally
small fractions higher than yesterdays last figures
Government bonds were dull, but the market was

Another feature of this Wholesale forest spoliation Is
that not even are the inhabitants Of the country made
rich by it, The majority of the owners OF great tracts are
