The portrait of Sir John Miais, painted by him

other canvasses signed by the historic artists they
represent naturally shows the noted Enghshman

stands erect, with head held in great dignity, ana
the palette and brushes in his hand point TO MS
preoccupation with his art. Yet there is something
much more characteristic In the group which we
reproduce with this, the picture Of Sir John stand
ing beside his daughter at his country place an
Perthshlre. He artist whom all his coun-
trymen admired for artistic gifts yet they loVed
him for his outdoor tastes. He was devoted hsh-
erman and a good shot He liked sport, II seemed
about as much as he liked art. Perhaps that is an
exaggeration Certainly he spent n great deal OF
time with rod and gun. and while there Is nothing
Objectionable to that the severe critic OF his pict-
ures nevertheless keeps wishing that he had turned
his back oftener mere amusements.
Miais was a remarkable antithesis to the painter
who preceded him in the headship OF the Royal
Academy. Leighton was man Of the world. II

Tax on Spirits.

Washington, May s9-The Senate to-day
passed without amendment two measures
Of legislation that had their origin In the

ture Of the President 10 become laws. The
Rrst was the bill to repeal that section
Of the existing tariff law which provides
for a rebate of the tax paid on alcohol
used in the arts and in medical prepare
tiOns. In the discussion, il was stated that
the Treasury Department had not been
able 10 establish rules and regulations 20
carry out the section; that rebates had
not been paid; and that, consequently,
claims for restitution are being piled up
in the treasury TO the amount Of 100000
a year. The bill, as passed, also provided
for a commission TO consider the whole
question.
The second bill passed by the Senate also
had reference to the tax on spirits, but its
provisions simply were to include pears,
pineapples, oranges, apricots, berries and
prunes in the list Of fruits from which
brandy may be distilled under the exist
ing regulations. The present law embraces
only apples, peaches and grapes.
The conference report on The Indian APP
preparation bill was discussed for over
two hours but no result was reached, and
the matter went over till Monday The
only point of the report debated was the
provision embodied in IL imposing citizen,
ship for the Indians of the five civilized
tribes The question as 10 the education
of Indian children in contract schools was
not at issue. that being a point on which
no agreement was arrived at IN confer
ence.

the Senate without the Presidents APP
proVal on the ground, not that she bene-
nciary Cthe soldiers mother was not de-
serving of the pension, but that the sol
dier was described as private In the
Seventh New Hampshire infantry, where
as he had not served in that regiment at
all. but in the First heavy artillery of New
Hampshire.
The bill and veto message were referred
to the committee on pensions.
The prohibitory bond bill was taken ur
as the unfinished business and its author
(Nir. Butler pop, of North CarOlina) made
an argument in support of it. An agree
ment was made that a final vote shall be
taken upon il before the adjournment on
