ART LOAN EXHIBITION
Fine Modern Paintings Now Dis
played in minneapolis.

One of the best, If not the best coll
lection of pictures ever seen In the
Northwest Is now on exhibition in Min
neapolis at the public library building
Some 200 paintings have been borrow
ed by the Minneapolis Society OF Fine
Arts from the private collections own I'd
in that city, and thrown open TO the
public Mr. French, the director of the
Art Institute OF Chicago, has seen the
exhibit and has stated that in proper
tion there were more superb works OF
art in this exhibition than could be
commanded in Chicago for a similar
occasion. These pictures represent the
best works owned in the city, and while
some of them have been seen before,
me st of them are entirely new to the
public BY selecting only the best from
each collection, an exhibition has been
formed of unus ually uniform excellence.
From the artists standpoint, one of
the most interesting and valuable col
lcctions shown is the group OF five old
masters loaned by DR.. N j. Pinault.
These are portions OF the famous Mai
land gallery, which was sold IN Paris
early In the SOS and contained large
number of large and important WORKS
by masters of the Italian and other
contemporaneous schools Of the Renals-
sance. They include landscape by
Salvador Rosa THE Lady With the
piece of it's time; storm scene, by YER
net; a madonna. by Moya, the inspira-
ton and guide OF Murillo; and THE
Vision of Saint Francis" by Domenico
Zampieri. 1t Is only necessary TO give
the names of the following painters.
each of whom is represented by one or
more pictures, to show the high arts

for the opening days of the house was
mapped out. M. Dingley was inform
ed the two appropriation biiis-pen-
sions and Legislative, executive and
judicial-were practically completed. 1t
was determined therefore to take these
up at the outset When they are out
of the way it is probable that the
bankruptcy legislation will have &
hearing. There h been some TX "a
the bill relative to alcohol used in the
arts would be passed at an early day
but 1t was generally understood after
Mr.. Dingley had conferred with the
house leaders, that no legislation on tn,
subject would be had in the near fu-
ture, and probably none this session.
Representative Bailey, the Demo
cratic leader on the floor of the house
arrived today. He said it was too
early to outline the course of the mi
nOrity in the house. He preferred 20
wait for the presidents message before
expressing his views on leading topics.
On Cuba, however, he said that while
he would not venture to say what the
house would do, in his opinion it ought
to pass resolution granting recGgni-
ton to the Cubans as beiligerents, and
placing them on the same footing as
the Spaniards.
Representative SSyers, ranking Dem
ocratic member of the appropriation
committee, also came in during the
day. He said that Senator Allison and
Representative Cannon were correctly
quoted in saying there would be no
river and harbor bill this session, they
would probably find themselves mis-
taken. Mr.. Sayres says the pressure
for a river and harbor bill will be so
great that such bill will go through
notwithstanding all efforts for re-
trenchment.

PINAR is NOT PACIFIED.
SaEasta's Confidential Agent Salts
fled on That Point.

NEW YORK, Dec 4.-Senor Canalej-
as, the Madrid editor, statesman and
close friend of Senior Sagasta, is salts
fed now that Pinar del Rio province
is not ''pacified," says the Havana cor
respondent in a dispatch to the World.
He went to the United States as the
confidential agent of Spain's premier,
it is understood, In order to ascertain
the real disposition Of the government
at Washington and the true state of
public opinion in America. Then he
came to learn the actual state of az
fairs in Cuba.
Editor Canalejas accompanied Ger
erals Bernal and Hernandez VelaSco
into Pinar del Rio last month on an
armed reconnaissance. official reports
have been received from these generals
of great military activity there. They
attacked, Nov. %, the insurgent posi-
ton in the Rosario hills, lately the
headquartei of Pedro Diaz and Maya
Rodriguez. The Spaniards had two
brigades of infantry of eight battalion5
each, two squadrons of cavalry ten
squadrons of guerrilas and four noun
tain cannon. Maj. Toro was wounded
while standing near Gen. BernaL
The official account says 500 insur-
gents defended the positions; that
tured at the plantations; that the sweet
potatoes were destroyed, and that
many explosive bullets were found
While the troops were burying Maj.
Seisdedos. Senior Canalejas was fired
at. The Spanish columns were under
fire throughout the night of the 18th,
but the official report gives the loss Of
only one major and two guerillas killed
one major, one captain and eighteen
men wounded. Decorations have been
requested for brilliant" action The
loss OF the insurgents is not known.
mo bodies were found on the field
of battle
What Senior Canalejas witnessed may
account for the cabe1 report from Ma
drid that at yesterdays cabinet coun-
ell, at which the queen regent presided,
Premier Sagasta reported that the
military operations in the province Of
Plnar del Rio show it to be an i'm
portant center of the rebellion, not
withstanding that Gen. Weyler de-
clared 1t pacified."
Another official announcement tells
of sharp skirmish" in Eastern Cuba,
where Gen. Pando, the chief Of military
operations on the island, who was false
ly reported killed few days ago, Is
personally conducting a campaign
against Gen. Gomez. The Spanish loss
es are said to have been slight.
A "heavy engagement is reported at
Guiza, near Bayamo, Santiago prov
ince. The insurgents under Lieut.. Gen.
Garcia, are said to have taken the
town. after heroic resistance" by the
Spanish garrison of $50 men. The In
surgents had four cannon. Large Span
ish forces have been sent from Man
zanillo to GuiZa.

WILL BLANco INTERFERE?
SEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE ARE
HUNGRY IN SANTA CLARA
PROVINCE ALONE.
DOES NOT RECOGNIZE RELIGION.
In This Hour of Terrible Need the
Plea Is Addressed to Common
Humanity

NEW YORK, Dec 5.-A dispatch to
the World from Havana says:
TELL the American people that l will
be glad to receive and distribute food,
clothing and medicines that may be
sent by them forIthe relief of the suf-
ferlng thousandsIjn Cuba"
Senior Frutos, bishop of Havana,
gives this message to the charitable
and sympathetic people of the United
States The bishop Of Havana is the
head of the Roman Catholic church of
Cuba. He appeals directly to the peo-
pie Of America 9sHe ldoes not recog-
nize religion in this hour of terrible
need. The common bond Of humanity
makes strong his. faith that his cry will
be heard. ri
The bishop will distribute the relief
to the starving Cubans, and 1t would
be beyond the powers of belief to
think it probable that Spain would in
terfere in his work of charity.
I'VE are utterly unable TO cope with
the restitution of the reconcentradoes, y
continued the bishop, for example, our
clergy in Santa Clara City have 1000
hungry ones. What can they do for so
many? rot
Here In my house we give food to
about 200 applying children brought by
mothers. We have 1880 registered.
We give corn, milk and medical at
tention. We give them all we have.
From every part of my diocese come
reports of hunger fit to wiring your
heart l am glad to know America Is
interested in the fate of the reconcen-
trados. They surely need assistance.
han icrin
said the bishop ut is beyond the dis
tinction of creed
For correctness of detail, nothing
can exceed the parish reports now in
the hands OF the bishop. They cover
the part of Cuba held by Weyler's
men. They are figuratively written In
blood and punctuated with tears. Ar
engagements will be completed as
quickly as the Catholic bishops of the
uited States signify their willingness
to receive contributions. 1t is to them
that the bishop of Havana looks.
Anybody can give, but it needs the
powerful aid of the church to forward
the aid. The churches will be the
depots and the shippers as well.
A dispatch to the World from Lon
don says: Spain's barbarous rule in
Cuba is exciting intense interest IN
England. A profound sensation was
created by the publication in Black
and White this week of page photo
graph showing two Suspected insur-
gents being shot down in cold blood
outside of Havana by four regulars at
the command of a sergeant. The scene
depicted is most pathetic and revolving.
One of the victims is on his knees, his
hands covering his eyes and facing ms
murderers. The other, is standing with
his hands raised and face ayerted,
awaiting his doom, the soldiers taking
aim at their victims.

himself with the prosecution of the Pa
cific railroad cases, and it is not to
be supposed that he will relinquish his
present office until the Kansas Pacific
sale has passed into history. 1t is gen
orally understood that Gov. Griggs, of
New Jersey, has been offered the place
In the cabinet to be vacated by Attor-
ney General McKenna, but it will not
DE possible for him to take the office
before the beginning of next year. The
New Jersey constitution fails to make
provision for g. lieutenant governor,
and the successor to the governor
would be the president Of the state
senate, who Is limited in the assump-
ton of the office to the time when
the legislature is in actual session,
which will not occur until Jan. l.
Should Gov. Griggs relinquish his place
now, there consequently could be no
head to the state government during
the period Of time between now and
Jan. /, and the governor is unwilling TO
leave matters in such a state.
President Mckinley, in his forthcom
ing message to congress, will not dis
cuss in a significant way the recent
SAOONN
bimetallic commission, but will refer
to them in only a casual way. The
chief interest in the financial part of
his message will attach to recon-
mendation that gold shall be paid only
for greenbacks and that green backs
shall be paid for gold. The president
does not believe that congress will re-
tire the notes, and it is his opinion that
where there is q constant surplus of
receipts over expenditures and an ex-
change Of gold and notes.. there is no
longer any menace to the country. He
does not contemplate the retirement of
treasury notes, but only a change of
classifications, for the reason that, If
retired, there would always be talk
of contraction of the currency, and he
does believe that If gold and green
backs are made interchangeable and
kept in a class by themselves no dan
ger need be apprehended from that
source,

Guatemala.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec, 4-The lat
est mail from Guatemala conveys the
Information that President Barrios is
threatened with arother uprising. Ad-
vices have been received at the CAPT al
of the Central American republic, to
the effect that conspirators are at
work in the northern part of the un-
try, close to the Mexican border. and
are being aided by political enemies Of
Rarros in the eastern departments of
the government. Behind the move
ment is said to be Gen. Castillo who
participated in the recent uprising
Hc had gathered his forces in Salvador
ard then crossed the border, an act
which nearly involved the two neigh
boring republics in serious trouble. Cas-
tito was routed and fled to Honduras.
BdrrioS is not greatly disturbed by the
report, for he believes his recent vic
tories will not encourage any serious
uprising, at least for time He is
reported, however, to be in an ugly
mood and is dealing out terrible pun
ishment to a number of prisoners
whom he gathered in the late uprising
and has since kept confined in the gov
eminent penitentiary in the city of
Guatemala Flogging has been re-
vived and the last is being used on
about 200 prisoners, most of whom are
whipped every day. The revival of the
lash in Guatemala was a great sur
prise to the people, for President Bar
rios had always heretofore regarded
such punishment in d most unfavor-
able light.

GREATEST OF ALL IRON POOLS
Only the Basis of Valuation Now Re-
mains to he Fixed.


CLEVELAND, o.. Dec. 4-The pro-
posed immense combination of wire,
wire nail and steel rod interests, over
shadowing anything of the kind ever
before planned, has advanced to the
point where the concerns interested
have decided to go in, and all that re-
mains to be done is to reach an agree
ment on the value of the different mills.
Daily conferences are being held in
New York, and Cleveland manufactur-
ers are in constant communication
with the seat of activity. The Cleve-
land concerns interested are American
Wire works, the II. P. Nail company,
the Consolidated Wire and Steel COM
pany, the Cleveland Rolling Mill COM
pany, and probably the Johnson COM
pany. The PittSburg interests are the
Parkin works, the Beaver Falls works,
the Pittsburg Wire company and the
oliver Snyder company. The last nam
ed carries with 1t the Oliver interests
in the immense Carnegie acquisitions.
Besides POD and wire mills, the new
combination includes steel mills, blast
furnaces and iron mines. Mines are
owned by the Cleveland Rolling Mill
company and by the Oliver-C Carnegie
interests. 1t is the plan that all the
interests involved lose their identity
and go out of business, and that there
be simply the one great company. The
statement is made that John w. Gates
the originator of the scheme, will not
be the general manager as was at first
suggested, but that this office will be
occupied by w. P. Snyder, of Pitts
burg. The further statement is made
by Cleveland iron men who are inter
ested that the control of the big COM
pany will rest in the hands of j. Pier
pont Morgan and his associates, they
having arranged to obtain that control
by purchase.

ELKs co TO NEW ORLEANS.
Question of Next Grand Lodge Meet
Ing FINALLY Settled.

DISPATCHES from the South announc-
ing the abatement OF the yellow fever
epidemic has dispeIled all doubts as
TO the place for the next annual meet
ing of the Benevolent Protective order
Of Elks, and the meeting will come off
according TO schedule May 10, 1898. at
New Orleans. Before the disease be-
came so prevalent it was decided at a
meeting of the grand lodge In Mime
apolis last July that the annual grand
lodge meeting and reunion Of mem
bers should be held in the Louisiana
city, but since the fever has worked its
ravages throughout the South, and es-
pecially in the vicinity of New Orleans,
protests were filed from all parts OF
the country against the original plans.
The conference TO settle the question
took place last week at the Auditorium
hotel, and, after a careful inyestiga
ton, ii was decided to hold the conven-
ton according to the arrangement.
Among those who stood sponsors for
the safety of the Elks from the dread
disease were DR.. John Guiteras, the
government yellow fever expert, and
all the medical authorities and sOcie-
ties of New Orleans and Louisiana, 1t
is expected that in the neighborhood
of 5000 to 10000 Elks will journey to
the Southern city from all parts Of the
country to attend the convention. The
