Madrid, May 2s.-Don Emilio CASTELAR,,
the distinguished republican orator and
statesman. whose death occurred at Mur-
most eloquent orators Of the day. He was
/ born in 1892, and became noted. early in
bis career. In consequence of his extreme
democratic and socialistic opinions which
he expounded In various Liberal journals
For a time he was professor OF history
and philosophy in the. University OF Mad

the revolutionary movement which put

death. but he succeeded in making his es-
| cape. and sought refgue first at Geneva,
! Switzerland. and afterward in France.
When the revolution broke out in Sep
tember, 1863 he returned and was one of
the most energetic leaders Of the republi-
can movement.
After the abdication Of King Amadeo,
CASTELAR, became Minister of Foreign Al

soon after the pronouncement in favor of
Alfonso XII. Subsequently he returned to
Spain and succeeded in obtaining a seat
in the Cortes as deputy for Madrid.
In 1893 he withdrew from the party to
which he had devoted the labors of his
life and defended his action by saying the
government was working in the interest
of his country. while the Liberals were
inviting its destruction.

REMENYI's PAINTINGS SOLD.
Picturesr by Well-known Artist
&c. Briag Small Prices

Bring Small Prices.
Chicago. Ill. May 2s.-The sale of the
art collection of the late Edouard Remenyi,
| the riolinist. was begun at the Fine Arts
Building here yesterday.
Several paintings were sold. but as the
bidding was not brisk the solicitors in
! charge of the sale decided to postpone dis
posing of the balance of the collection until
a more favorable season. The paintings
sold brought only 5000.
Several years before his death Mr. Re-
menyi borrowed $40 900 here and gave as
security a mortgage on his paintings and
art objects. The sale yesterday was under
foreclosure proceedings to satisfy this
claim. The collection contained some fine
examples sf.well-known artists. and it was
anticipated that their sale would not only
satisfy the mortgage. but leave a balance
sufficient to place Mrs. Remenyi in COM
Portable circumstances for the rest of her
life.
These expectations were scarcely realized
by the result OF the sale. The gem of the
collection, for instance. 'LAmour Desap-
pointe.' by Greuze. for which it is said Mr.
Remenyi was once offered $4,000. brought
only s.. 100. from a purchaser whose name
was not made public. Other paintings sold
as follows: Landscape" b. Jules Dupre,
to DIR. l.. p Mckinney. for S6j0: Oriental
Landscape" by Decamps TO Dr. McKin-
ney, for $500. and "Idyllic Conversation"
by Vatican, to Samuel GAM. for $3.50. Mr.
C. L. Hutchinson purchased a gold Japan
ese lacquer box for ss25. and all the Chi
nese and Japanese ornamental work went
at good prices. the Rev. DIR. Gunsaulus be-
ing among the buyers.
The paintings withdrawn include ''Nup-
tials of Neptune and Amphitrite.' by Franz
Francken: Portrait of Woman" by Tex
borch: THE Young Falconer.'' by Grimou;
"Duchesse de Montmorency.'' by Natter;

Japan and America.

Japan has seemed at times to coquette
with England with France, with Germany.
| but il has only been in each case for special
ends. There has been all the time but
one genuine love and preference. and that
is for the nation which, in her early mod
ern childhood. her quick perceptions rec
ognized as her sincere and disinterested
friend 1t was not that America first dis
covered and opened Japan to the world;
it was not that alone of the Western pow
ers she refunded her share Of the illgot
ten Shimonosiki spoiis; it was not even
that, from the first. the Western republic
was seen to have no lax to grind in its
professions of friendship for the rejuve-
mated empire. 1t was for none of these
things that Japan has SO steadfastly cleav-
ed to her first love. These were mere in
cidents in the course of that love. which
has been all the time deep undercurrent
of real sentiment. based upon an instinct
i've recognition of American magnanimity.
Russia. from the beginning. has been the
object of an equally strong instructive
dread, which it is now and always will be
impossible to overcome. England, admir-
ed and respected as the masterful nation
of the world, has never won the Japanese
over. Quick to recognize the unconquer-
able British prejudice against all Asiatics.
no such thing as genuine affection has
of the East and Of the West. France in
turn. has appealed to the aesthetic sensi-
bilities Of the Japanese, but there the
friendship ends, for it rests on nothing
solid or enduring. Germany. with it's i'm
pressive Imperialism and its spirit of in
tense loyalty to the Fatherland, has struck
a responsive chord in the Japanese breast.
which always thrills. at the watchwords
Of empire and loyalty. But apart from
this sentiment. there is nothing in COM
mon between the German and the Japanese
natures. Had there ever been. Germany, to-
gether with France. has forfeited all pcs
sible claims to the nations regard By join
ing hands with Russia to infiict upon Japan
its bitter humiliation. England and Amer
lea alone. among all the powers of the
West. can now count the rising empire Of
the East as a friend: and as between the
two. there is NO shadow of doubt where
the preference lies. Japan, for many rea-
sons. would hesitate long before forming
an alliance with England alone, but should
the latter join hands with America. in
stinct as well as policy would draw this
nation with irresistible force into the
triple compact which, we all now trust, is
to dominate the peace Of the world.

American Idea. of ArbItr.tiou.
(From the New York Tribune.)

tfrOH the New York Tribune
Arbitration is American doctrine It is an
American policy and practice But the essential
feature of it. from the American point of view,
is that it shall be voluntary. Two independent
and sovereign powers. having between them
some matter OF dispute. failing to settle it by
negotiations between themselves, and regarding
it matter which may properly be passed
upon by third party as an umpire, voluntarily
agree to submit it to the arbitration Of such an
umpire, and pledge themselves. upon their honor,
to abide by the decision. That is arbitration in
the American sense. 1t is not compulsory. Each
nation retains its individual sovereignty and its
individual right to determine whether or not the
question be one which it could. in justice to its
own dignity and integrity, submit to the arbit-
rament of third power. Then. having decided
that it may thus he submitted. and having thus
submitted It, the nation is absolutely bound in
honor to abide by the result, and no material
compulsion is needed to execute the mandate of
the tribunal. That is true arbitration whether
between nations or between individuals.
