Country Mt Present.

Country mt Present.
washington, Dec. 7.-Representative
Dingley of Maine reached here from
Canton Saturday. He declined to dis
cuss the cabinet question or anything
relating to his visit to Major Mckinley.
He said the Cuban issue depended upon
the information the president might
convey to congress. AS far as the pub
lie was informed there was nothing
new in the situation. Diplomatic ques-
tions, he said. generally should be iert
10 the administration and not hanaieo
by congress. From what Is pupiicly
known about the situation, Mr.. Ding
lev said he would infer that no radical
action is to be taken at this time by
this country. He added. however. that
there might be important Developments
and conditions of which the public 10

In a graceful introduction, much viii lie

highest sense, be characterized as poetry.
This is inevitable. If the intention OF the
editor had been to preserve verses only OF

produced in the new world since its dis

authors have produced poetry that carries

- OBERTS BROS. last week published
n the Autobiography of Philip Gilbert
Hamerton,' supplemented with a
memoir by his wife. Mr.. Hamerton
had hoped to complete his auto
biography, but death Interrupted the
work when he lad brought il only to the
twenty-fourth year of his life. After
Bome hesitation, occasioned by the diff.
Guilty of writing in foreign language, his
wife, who is a French woman, resumed the
thread of hislife story in a memoir, which
now completes n work OF definite and
affectionate interest to all who knew the
writer III his many admirable books More
has been done by Hamerton to familiariZe
reading people with the principles and
methods of art than by any other writer.
Rus kin, alone, contents pre-eminence in
this field OF literature, but, as one of his
critics points out though Hamerton lacked
Ruskin's genius, he possessed in large
measure that sound judgment which Rus
kin often conspicuously lacks, a thor
ough knowledge of his subjects, and the
rare ability tn write from the standpoint
of his readers.
what he has done for art this autobiog-
raphy does for him. Readers who have
known him indirectly and loved him for his
work rather than for himself, are now
brought Intimately in contact with a nature
which is as simple and beautiful and truth
ful as his writings indicated. Mr. Hamcr-
ton has in his autobiography reflected the
salient quality of all that issued from his
pen, the quality OF being entertaining, and
Mrs. Hamerton has in the memoir caught
the same spirit in a lesser, but quite ad
mirahle fashion, under theinspiration other
beloved subject.
"A life OF Philip Gilbert Hamerton is
necessarily a history of art study, devel-
opment and literature during the second
haf OF this century. He not only fol-
lowed and noted the channels in which
art thought moved, but he directed i5 and

Prof Andrews presents his subject with
q distinct regard for The continuous devel-
opment of the life and thought OF modern

which have made for progress, rather than
described events, in detail, or presented
ali subjects with historical completeness.
A recital of his headings denote how COM
