The phenomenal success DIR. w. Sew

A CLEAN SWEEP.
Artist HitchcocIx's works Oncrcd az
Auction.

Artist Hitchcoct's Works Oncred at
Auction.
ID. Howard Hitchcock, Hawaii's
homeborn artist, is about per
forming a bold stroke on the com
mercial side Of his profession.
This is nothing less than expo
sing his entire collection of works,
catalogued fifty in number, for
sale at public auction. Mr.. Nor
gan will be the Touchdown artist
on the occasion-place, Pacific
Hardware Co.'S art rooms-time,
10 o'clock next Monday.
MIR. Hitchcock, moved by the
impulse of expanded ideas in his
art, will retire from the capital
for a new campaign of study
amidst the unequaled scenery of
his paternal isle-Hswsii. Hence
his determination to unload the
products of his early years under
able tutorship in Honolulu, New
York and Paris, besides those of
his unaided efforts latterly in
his island home.
That Mr.. Hitchcock is thus
comforting his record of the past
upon the possession If the public
does not imply that he has reason
for being dissatisfied Herewith.
Public opinion would not justify
the sacrifice on such a ground.
Much of his earliest work has
character of its own which will
give it distinct value long after
the artist himself has parted for
ever from the leading strings
whereby his conceptions may have
been tentatively trammeled.
1t would take days of study and
pages of space for even a recog.
nized connoisseur to describe,
much more to analyze, the pro
gress of this our Hawaiian artist
! by examples. His works are on
view at the place of sale and all
who take an interest in local arr
should inspect them for them
selves. There are portrayals OF
Hawaiian scenery which, in point
either of typical conception or of
artistic execution, have not been
excelled by visiting artists how.
ever greatly and deservedly vaunt,
ed. Mr.. Hitchcock's volcano
studies, either of Kilauea or Mo
kuaweoweo, may not be artistical-
ly valued even by himself higher
than his quieter landscapes, but
in realistic historical worth they
are impossible Of duplication, ex-
cept in piracy, by any other than
the brush Of their author.

weekly Market review.

Cotton.-The liquidation which was go
ing on in the market a week ago was con-
tinued into the first part of the past week
resulting IN further decline, March fall
ing below 7.5Oc. From this there was some
70 points reaction, which, however was
only partly sustained. On Friday the mar
ket closed at few points loss for the
week. The weakness was due to the full
receipts, especially at the ports; the check
was caused by the evident readiness OF Liv-
erpool TO take cotton at the present price
In fact. Liverpool has given much encour-
agement to the friends of cotton and has
been sustained very much better thar Neuy
York, where the bearish feeling has been
persistent and aggressive. But the general
expression of sentiment there will change
as soon as the heavy operators conclude
they can make more money on the long
side than the other, and this they will as.
suredly do when they have succeeded in
working up sufficiently large short in
tereSt IN the market to make an advance
pay.
Port receipts have been on a scale to
render assured crop of 1886, 900 bales or
more If we could take for granted that the
movement is any indication of the proper
tlon or the crop yet to come forward. But
Whlle ports received about n 900 bales more
than last year, the amount coming in sight
for the week in excess was only about TO-
COO bales. Moreover, last wears small
movement was due to weather influences,
and this years large one to the generally
prevalent anxiety of country holders to
clear up. The coming week is likely to
show big falling off from last year.
in the acreage this spring While it may be
unwise to discount big crop months be-
fore 1t is ever planted, yet we may be rea-
sonably confident that if planters realize
the current expectation, there is scarcely
any hope that prices in the fall will be
anything like present figures, unless provf-
dence should bless a stiff necked and IRA
ttonal people by sending them bad and un-
productive seasons.
Wheat.-The market has lost about a
cent for the week. Some early weakness
was followed by a fair reaction, but it was
not sustained. The demand has been pref
ty good, but the falling off in supplies has
not yet materialiZed to the extent expect
ed. The weather has been very severe
and it is now near the time when sudden
and violent changes of temperature will
create alarm among the shorts, and some
times result in a rise of five or ten cents
in a week. The discouraging feature of the
situation to holders is the circumstance
that the sources from which Minneapolis
and Duluth draw their receipts appear to
be about as inexhaustible as the oil cruise
of the Scriptural widow. Nevertheless,
most conservative houses deem the mar
ket to be in a fairly healthy condition.

sive before 1t had been mailed, and fur
thermore stated that he had approved
them. 1t was Mr.. Olney's opinion that
in view Of Ambassador Patenctre's action
there was no other course for Mr.. Rock
hill TO pursue. Mr. Olney is said to have
intimated to NJ. Patenotre that II he de-
sired to remain persona grata to the adj
ministration there should be no contnu-
ance of the behavior he is alleged to have
observed toward Mrs. RockhiN.
1t is stated that a few days ago NJ
Patenotre wrote to Mr.. Rockhin. who in
the meautime had been promoted again,
this time to be First Assistant Secretary
Of State, requesting an interview at the
Metropolitan Club. Upon the French am
baSsador's suggestion Mr.. Rockhill and
he are said to have adjourned TO pri-
vate apartment, where they discussed the
trouble between them. M. Patenotre Is
said to have made a proposition TO Mr..
Rockhill that, while they recognize each
other officially, they or their families were
in no way to treat each other socially.
Mr.. Rockhill 1t is scid, declined to ac-
cede to this proposition. There the mat
ter rests for the present II may be that
there will be more developments.
There Is a possibility that NJ. Patenotre
may ask his government to recall him or
that his government. learning of the mat
ter NAV decide to transfer him TO another
post The difficulty between the two dip
lomats IS a subject of gossip. M. Pateno-
tire has represented his government In this
country for some years past, having been
transferred from China. He has seen long
service in the diplomatic corps of France
and his abilities wer at once recognized
when he was stationed here. He married
Miss EversOn. daughter of the Phila-
delphia millionaire a couple of years ago,
and both he and Nine. Patenotre have
since been very prominent In social cir
cles in Washington
The trend of public opinion is in favor
of Nj. Rockhilis side of the matter. Mrs.
Rockhill was a Miss Tyson of Baltimore.
and IS regarded as one of Washingtons
beautiful women. She is extremely popu-
lar and while rather frank is noted for
her sweet. generous disposition. Her
friends declare they will give her their
support, and as IN evidence of their IN
tentions in this direction, the gossips have
1t that when the French ambassador call
ed upon ledy acquaintance who also
knew Mrs. Rockhill, she declined to see
him.
Mr.. Rockhill to-day absolutely refused
to discuss the matter in any way. Am
bassador Patenotre was equally reticent.
He stated however, that he did not see
why any publicity should be given to
private matter which concerned only him
self and the Rockhiiis.
