Reports from Northern West Virginia,

Loss of life is reported at Hamilton,

The next important move was de-
termination to create joint commits
sion from the war departments, so as
to bring them into harmonious action
on all measures. Captain Barker, the
naval aid to Secretary Long, was desig-
mated to represent the navy department
in this common plan of action. The
representative OF the war department
has not yet been named. 1t will not
be necessary for these two officers to
leave Washington. as they can arrange
joint plan of action in conference
with the bureau chiefs OF the two de-
partments here.
Then at the close of the day came an
announcement that the navy depart
ment had succeeded in purchasing
eight steam yachts and four steam tugs,
presumably at or near New York, for
use in the auxiliary navy fleet. The
boats are of about 400 tons each, and
in an emergency would be suitable as
torpedo boats. The yachts purchased
are among the feetest along the At
lantic coast, and are said to be some-
what similar to the Mayhower, recent
ly purchased from the Ogden Goelet
estate. This addition to the navy is
regarded as an exceptionally valuable
one at the present time, as the greatest
need is felt for small craft suitable for
torpedo-boats and dispatch boats.
There was additional satisfaction at
the navy department at the large num-
Der secured in single purchase. The
names and amounts paid for the vari-
Gus yachts and tugs are not disclosed,
as it is said this would prove an en-
barrassment to the government in pro-
noting speculation in other craft for
which negotiations are now pending.
President Says Maine Was Blown Up,
Throughout the day the White House
presented an animated appearance, sem
ators and representatives from both no.
litical parties calling to confer with
the president. Among the callers were
Senators Cullom, Fairbanks, Aldrich.
Jones OF Arkansas and Spooner, and
representative Bailey, the Democratic
leader in the house. The president
said to several of his visitors today, in
discussing the situation, that he would
/ do everything consistent with the hon.
or and dignity OF the country to avert
war, and that he still believed war
could be averted. He also said he be-
lieved the government of Spain was as
anxious for peace rs we were.
The president frankly acknowledged
that he believes the report OF the board
of inquiry will find that the Maine
was blown up from the outside

Tolstops Views OF Art.

hsssrS. T. Y. orowell 4 Co. have published .
braisoworthy English translation OF the book
entitled What Is Art By Count LEO ToLsTof.
This work the author himself considers one II
his most important contributions n oontSmpo-
rary thought. He has been employed upon the
subject for fifteen years. by which he means
that he began TO write upon It fifteen years
ago. thinking that he should be able to accom-
plish II without a break. IL proved. however,
that his views upon the matter were 80 far
from clear that he could not. for a long time,
arrange them in a satisfactory way. When the
book was finally finished. II was published IN
Russia, but was 80 mutilated by the censor
that the author requests all who are interested
in his ideas Of art to Judge Of them only By
tho present English translation. which has
been revised by him. We MAJ say at once that
che purpose Of the work IL to demolish the
theory OF art for art, the theory that the eI-
elusive aim OF art Is TO please and that all art
10 legitimate which is Effective for the purpose
OF producing beauty. The Rist OF the essay will
be found In chapters Ill. ~. and ". the frSt
two Of which contain a summary and criticism
Of the various aesthetic theories and definitions.
while the third sets forth the authors own
definition Of art. Especially interesting. also.
