THE NUDE IN ART.
A Question that is Agitating the

AN ARTISTS PECULIAR POSITION

Especial to TIE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.J
NEW YORK, May S,-The question as to the
proprlety of letting mixed classes OF art stu
dents work from nude models is creating con-
siderable disturbance in the Art Students
league in East Twenty third street Just now.
The trouble began some seven or eight weeks
ago when Augustus st. Goudens. the sculptor,
introduced nude male model before his clay
class, three young men and four young women.
For several days the matter remained a secret.
The the younger students of heard

and resolved that Mr.. St. Gaudens must retire

class from the young women in obedience to
the boards expressed wishes. Since doing so

This division of the class Is said to be dis

PACIFIC RAILROADS.
The Question Of the Rate of In
terest Again Comes Up.
FOR REVENUE OR PROTECTION ?
The Debate In the House on the Tariff Bill
The Arguments for Either Side
Clearly Stated.

WASHINGTON, May ESPECIAL telegram to
THE HERALD. 1.-The action of the House com
mittee on the Pacific railroad bill is involved in
considerable doubt. The committee met this
morning expecting to conclude consideration of
the bill. but Chairman Dazell reopened the
question of the rate OF interest to be charged
the Central Pacific. He urged that the rate
be fixed at per cent. the same as the Union
Pacific is to pay instead of 9 per cent as pro-
posed in the bill. He was willing to report the
bill with the lower rate because he did not
believe it could pass the House.
while he thought there was
chance of its passage if the two roads were
put upon an equality. After some discussion
Mr.. Dalzell was authorized to communicate with
the representatives of the Central Pacific to see
If they would accept the rate of per cent. If
they will not, Mr.. Dalzell thinks they will get no
legislation and will have to continue their pres
ent settlement under the Thurman act. A bill
to refund the Union Pacific Indebtedness would
probably stand better chance of passage than
the bill dealing with both roads, but
the committee has already preferred
to report separate bills. The committee
will probably stand on the question of report
ing the Union Pacific bill. AS it now stands it
is about to o. the minority consisting of Chair
iAAuiA D"lIC4l VI L CuuSylNdIld, FLICK, OF Iowa,
Cooper of Indiana; O'Neil, of Massachusetts.
and Reilly, of Pennsylvania. If the rate of in
terest to be paid by the Central Pacific is ad-
vanced to per cent, Messrs Dalzell and
Morey () will probably join the majority in
favor OF the bill. Messrs Cooper and Flick are
opposed TO new legislation of the sort proposed
for either road, while Mr.. O'Neil favors a bill
for the Union Pacific but not for the Central
Pacific. de may make minority report in
favor of such bill. 1t is hardly possible now
that any action will be taken by the House at
the present session, whatevermay be the action

Illinois Coal Miners.

CHICAGO, May ga local papers says this
evening that the strike of the coal miners of
northern Illinois is settled and the executive
committee of the National Miners union will
issue circular to the men tonight ordering
them to go to work Monday. 1t is expected on
that day that all the miners in the state will re-
sumo operations. The joint conference commit
tee was in session all day. The basis of the
agreement is the agreement submitted to the
miners by the operators at the recent Joint con
convention with some amendments to meet
the mems views. 1t is understood that the
term of the continuance of the agreement is
contingent on the success OF the miners secur-
ing the same conditions from southern Illinois
operat ors. Should they fail the present agree
ment is VOID and the strike will follow in which

could knock out BuckholZ, they went out into

planted his fist on Buckholz' jaw in the first
round and knocked out two teeth. They kept
up continual shower of blows on each others
faces and bottles for about five minutes when
they cllnched and fell. They rolled over and

other. When they arose they went at it again.
Horner landed on his enemy'S face and ribs,
finally scoring clean knock down with o blow
on the neck. BucholZ fell on q vicious dog
The animal seized him by the neck until
