Unfair to the Artist.

Sir Frederick Leighton thinks that the
custom Of photographing and reproducing
the successful pictures at exhibitions is
most unfair to the artist. By the time the
picture is ready for sale every one is SO ac-
customed to the hackneyed counterfeit of
it that they have no further use for the
original The more popular an artist is
the more is this true. He suggests the fol-
lowing remedies for protecting the artists
interests: In the first place, to vigorously
exclude the facsimile reproduction of his
work from all illustrated catalogues and
return to the pen, pencil or charcoal sketch,
so excellent as mere memorandum Of
his work and in itself so absolutely safe:
in the next place, to meet with q steady
refusal requests to have his works repro
duced by u fl Tile process in an illus
trated perioti2. or any publication what
ever, if, after due consideration, he finds
that he can afford to lend his work for that
purpose, at least to prohibit publication

from Chinese sources. The Japanese main-

them with the customary humanity. The
despatch was sent from Hiroshima to Lleut
Gen. Nozu, the commander of the Japanese
troops in ManchuTia, briefly stating the ac-
ousations and requesting an explanation.
He telegraphed that the stories We're
baseless calumnies. Letters were written
by three reporters from the headquarters
of three divisions in Manohuria in support
OF this denial in every respect. Lieut. Gen.
Nodzu reported from Hal Cbeng April 4,
that Gen. vi sent him message to the
effect that the Chinese commanders know
nothing of the .conclui ing of the anristice,

Give a Speedy Trial to 4 Imprisoned

Berlin. April 1.-The maturing conflict
between Norway and Sweden, has given
rise to strange reports in Berlin. Since
| Tuesday it has been common statement
that should the two Kingdoms resort to
| force Emperor William would take up arms
| rather than permit the threatened inter-
ference of Russia. He is said to have prom
1sed King Oscar as much. Although Off

while not onfirming the prediction of war
describes the situation as very serious.
Since King Oscar returned TO Stockholm
negotiations are resumed in Christiania

and Minister Stang and liberal leader
Steen, with little prospects of success,
as Stang insists upon his resignation
Mitchell admits that he cannot form min
lstery with any hope of governing under
the constitution and Steen threatened 10
impeach the member Of any cabinet trying
to override the majority. Although this
deadlock seems to render peaceable set
tlement impossible, it is still good way
this side of civil war. Russia's attitude
toward the conflict Is in doubt, but as
usual she is suspected of designs upon Nor
way.
sH 18th the alarmist rumors of the Emperor's
promise to King Oscar has come batch of
gossip as to the relations between st. Pet
ersburg and Berlin. The two courts are
supposed to be less friendly now than few
weeks ago. The Tageblatt says the Car

tion as to Prince Lobanoff's appointment
to the ministry of foreign affairs, and al
though the Prince at tho time was ambassa-
dor elect to Germany. the German Emperor
first learned the news from emperor Franz
Joseph. The Tageblatt says that Emperor
William was SO chagrined by this snub that
he at once recalled Gen. Won Werier. whose
business it WAS to learn the change of plans
in st. Petersburg. The statement that the
Gear and Czarina will not come to Berlin
this yearsis regarded as additional proof of
the estrangement. although as theCzarina's
