PHILADELPHIA LADIES SHOCKED.

Studies Of the Nude BY Americas Ar.
lists Call Out Protest.
PHILADELPHIA, March S.-A formal pro-
test against the continued display of GER
tain studies of the nude at the exhibition
OF the Academy of Fine Arts has been
made by coterie Of well-known Philadel-
phia ladies. Many of the pictures deemed
Objectionable were contributed by we'll
known American artists, whose work
hitherto has not appeared to shock the
sensibili6es of the public. Now the pic
lures which the ladies specify in their bill
OF particulars have attracted more than
their share of attention during the progress
OF very successful exhibition. They are
by no means suggestive, urges promi-
nent art patron, and no prurient taste
would be excited by them, but for some
such letter as was yesterday written.
In the LITTER sent to the committee on
the selections of the exhibition the pro-
testers say among other things: 1--WE de-
sire, in the name of the womanhood Of
Philadelphia. to protest against the
fiagrant indelicacy of many Of the pictures
now on exhibition. It is the general sem
timent that never before in Philadelphia
has modesty been SO ruthlessly assailed.
As Christian women, as modest women,
we feel this to be an offense to our woman
daughters, and the morality of our sons.
We are convinced that the claims Of art
often so loftily insisted on, should never
take precedence of the higher claim of
public propriety and morality"
The protesting ladies make haste to re-
veal the particular pictures that wound
their sense of propriety. Alexander Har-
rison, the Franco Philadelphian artist,
has one large picture, "En Acadie, four
maidens fresh apparently from splash
ing swim in nearby brook, and drying
themselves in the sunlight that struggles
through the boughs overhead. Three
small studies Of outdoor nudes make up
the Objectionable Harrison group.
classical nudes OF Kenyon Cox, Painting
and Poetry" Evening" AN Eclogue," !"
and "A Nymph." They are all Greek
studies that carry one back to the master
pieces of the middle ages, and the
time before Christ ..The Brookside"
and Heath Apple Bouehs" are likewise
considered Objectionable, and the black
list, or nude list, is completed by two
paintings by William L. Dodge. The CEN
tral figure i'll Water Lilies" lies prone
upon her back, her head thrown back and
dabbhng in the water. The s'Girl at the
Bath" is its mate.
Mrs. Rene Guillo, one of the ladies who
signed the petition, said: II have not
seen the pictures, but friend in whom
have great confidence, said that gangs of
young boys and girls congregated around
these pictures and went away laugh
ing:
Henry G. Gibson, on being asked what
action the directors would be likely to
take, said that if they were all of his mind
they would ignore the whole thing.

FOR THE PACIFIC SQUADRON.
Two Vessels From the Atlantic Will Be
Sent Around Cane Horn.

NEW York, March s.-[Special. THE
Herald's Washington City correspondent
says: learn today that several vessels
will shortly be added to the Pacific
squadron. The American feet in the Pa
cific is reduced to three vessels, the
Charleston at San Francisco, and the
Iroquois and Mohican at Honolulu. The
Pensacola is in the Southern Pacific, look
ing after American interests in Chile. She
will be joined by the Baltimore and San
Francisco later in the month. These ves-
sells may be needed there all summer
With affairs at Honolulu in disturbed
state, as reported since the Charleston left
there, her return will become necessary, as
American interests in the midway group,
and at Samoa require constant watching.
1t will be simply impossible to have any
vessels in the North Pacific during the
coming fishing season unless some of the
other squadrons are drawn upon. 1t may
also become necessary to send more vessels
to Chile
This is the situation on the Pacific On
the Atlantic coast We have eleven cruising
vessels in commission, four attached to
North Atlantic squadron, and five to the
squadron of evolution, and the Newark
and Concord near by, ready for sea. There
Is nothing urgent demanding the presence
of all these vessels here, and the depart
ment, therefore. has finally decided to send
several of them where they are most
needed.
At least two of the vessels of the squad
ron of evolution will shortly be detached
and sent around the Horn to join the Pa
citic. One of these will be the Atlantic,
and the other will probably be the Dol
phin, as she is wanted for making survey
for the proposed submarine cable between
San Francisco and the Hawaiian islands.
There is also some talk of sending the
Philadelphia to the Pacific. If this be
done the Newark would be assigned as nag
ship Of the home squadron.
The next naval vessel to be launched
will be the cost defense vessel Monterey,
building by the Union Iron Works Of San
Francisco. She is now practically ready
to leave her ways, and although Messrs.
Scott are anxious to get her in the water.
in order that they can commence laying
the keel of battle-shIp, they will prob
ably postpone the time of launching until
the arrival of the presidential party on the
Pacific coast, on April L

PAssEsGER TRAIN WRECKED.
Fireman Killed aud Many Seriously
Injured at Havana. Ill.

Inquired at Havana HI.
PEoRIA, ILL.,, March S.-The Jacksonville
4 Southeastern fast passenger train which
left here at I 80 this morning met with q
terrible accident at Havana, Ill. The
train consisted of a baggage car, reclining
char car, and two sleepers, and was an
hour and half late, owing to terrible
storm raging at Havana. There is sharp
curve mile and half from the depot,
and the engine struck the curve at the
switch and left the track. AL the cars
followed, piling up in great confusion.
Half-dressed passengers clambered out of
the windows and through the roof of the
demolished cars and hastened bare-footed,
through sleet, over icy roads, for the near
est houses. Passengers who were in the
coach extricated their injured companions.
Under the engine was FIREMAN SADLER, who
was instantly killed.
By his side was ENGINEER BIRKENHEAD, with
one arm and leg cut of.
The others injured are:
~E: HoNMETT, OF Peoria, burned and badly
bruised.
F. CoNovER, Manitou, ILL.,, fatal injuries.
CHARLES MULvANEy. streator, Ill. back and
head bruised; will die.
Miss EMMA RusHros, 81. Louis, seriously
FRANK P. LEWIS, Peoria, seriously jammed in
the breast.
CoNDUcToR KENNEDY, OF Eureka, ILL.,, and
BRAKEMAN HUGHES were severely injured.
The wreck Immediately took fire and
burned with great rapidity. 1t was with
the utmost difficulty that some of the pass
engers were rescued, and one or twowere
severely burned.
A wrecking train was sent out from
Jacksonville at once, but when it reached
the scene the fire had swept all the debris
away with the exception of the iron work
and the engine.
1t is thought the wreck was caused by a
broken rail, or ice on the track. The loss
to the compay. including death and acci-
dent claims, will not fall short of $l00, 600.
People in the sleeper were not injured, but
had to make their way for mile through
the terrible storm to q shelter.

United States Omcials Arrest Yuma In
dians to Break Up . Perniclous Habit.
YUMA, Ariz., March s.--Miguel, chief,
and Pedro, sub-chief, of the Yuma tribe,
with three other Indians, were arrested
here today by United States Marshal Card.
The prisoners were taken to Los Angeles
this evening. The Indians are charged
with numbering Hekow, the medicine man
of the tribe, in October last. Hekow dis
appeared very mysteriously some four
months ago, Immediately after the death
of prominent captain Of the tribe.
According to custom of the Yumas the
medicine man who is unfortunate enough
to have three of his patients die, is sure to
be killed by relatives of the deceased.
Efforts have frequently been made to dis
cover the murderers Of medicine men, but
without success, as no witness to any such
killing can ever be found The arrest Of
Miguel and Pedro was unexpected, but is
thought to be for the purpose of forcing
them to disclose the names Of the real
murderers, who are on the reservation in
California

KENT MILKMEN FIRM.
They Boycott Dealer and FIX Rates
for Six Months.

kENr, March Especial. The Dairy
men association met hero ut 1880 a. m.
to-day, The attendance was large. The
special business before the meeting was
the fixing of the price Of milk to the Seat
tie and Tacoma dealers for the six months
beginning April /.
The secretary read letters TO three men,
bers OF the association from the Puget
Sound Milk Company of Seattle. declining
to take milk any longer at association rate,
alleging that il could get plenty of milk at
3 to cents less per gallon.
After considerable discussion it was de-
clded that no member of the association
should hereafter send milk TO that concern
at any price, and that hereafter any milk
that they may handle must come from
dalrymen outside the organization.
The secretary read an article from the
Slaughter paper, i'll which former en-
pioye OF the railroad, who handled the
milk upon this line for several months,
alleged that the milk dealers Of Seattle,
upon the arrival of the product each morn
ing, added water in the proportion of ten
gallons to fifty gallons of milk, thus in
creasing the milk supply by 20 per cent.
This announcement created quite a sensa-
ton among the members, who allege that
they propose, and have always proposed
to furnish the people of Seattle with pure
article of milk.
1t was suggested that the best way to
cure this evil, and many others connected
with the business, would be to establish a
depot at Seattle from which to distribute
the product. In other words, TO do away
with the middleman in the business and
thus enable tho farmers to make all the
money there is in it, Noaction was taken
in the matter, however.
This disposed of the association turned
its attention to the, price Of milk for the
summer. There was quite diversity Of
opinion regarding the matter. Some de-
sired a fixed rate for the entire six months,
Others favored dividing the period, charg-
ing more after July than previous to that
month. Upon taking vote the majority
voted that the price be uniform, and that
reasonable price would be Is cents per
gallon at the station, or II cents at Seattle
or Tacoma.
This settles the matter so far as the milk
producers are concerned until next
October, unless some action on the part of
the dealers forces an issue.
The secretary was instructed to call the
attention of the authorities Of Seattle to
the charges Of milk adulteration by the
above mentioned railroad employe,
and to ask that the matter be fully investi-
gated. The producers are ready to have
their product rigidly inspected upon its
arrival at Seattle, and desire that the
responsibility for the aduItcration Of the
article. if 1t is adulterated, shall DC placed
where it belongs.
