John Ruskin Dead.

John Ruskin has died in London of in- fuenza, aged S1 years. Mir. Ruskin was born in London in 1919, the son of n Scotchman from Perth. He was gradu- ated from Christchurch, Oxford, in 1S42 with high honors and entered at once up- on the study of art. In 1S43 he pub lished his Modern Painters" and con tinued to add to it till it finally appeared in five splendid volumes, having grown to an elaborate philosophical treatise on landscape painting. Meanwhile he was travelling extensively and studying the art of Europe, especially in Venice, the results of which appear in 'The Stones of Venice" and the Seven Lamps of Ar chitecture." During the next ten years Ruskin's pen was singularly prolific. and he received high honors. During his later years Ruskin lived chiefly upon the sale of his works. In 1867 he was ap- pointed Rede lecturer at Cambridge and received from the university the degree of IL. B. In 1869 he was elected pro- lessor of fine arts in the University of Oxford. Some years ago his mind be- came impaired, and he had been living in retirement

Mr. Bryan Dine. at the Club

New York. Jan. 24.-Mr. Bryan was the guest of honor in the Democratic club at a dinner given by John w. Keller, president of the organization. Notwith- standing Mir. Keller's declaration that the dinner in no way committed the club to the support of Mir. Bryan and his principles. the presence of nearly all the influential Tammany leaders lent an off cial character to the occasion. During the reception after the dinner 193 of the 2,300 members of the club shook hands with Mir. Bryan. He did not speak and left the clubhouse early on the plea of fa- tigue. Mir. Bryan has suppressed the plan formed by the Chicago platform Democracy of the state of New York to send a contesting delegation to the na- tional convention, and there has arisen in consequence a division in that organiza- ton which has already aroused much bit tpr

Big Circus Combine.

Columbus, O., Jan. 24.-Two unsatis- factory clauses in the agreement contract are all that stand in the way of com bination of the large circus interests of the United States. If these contested points are adjusted satisfactorily, the year 1902 will see great circus combine. This statement s,made upon the authori- ty of Peter Sells. Those interested in the proposed combination are the Sells broth CTS of this city, James A. Bailey, now in Europe with the Barnum X Bailey circus, and Cole of New York city. Mir. Bailey recently made a flying trip to this coun- try, when an agreement was drawn up. The objectionable features provide that the winter quarters of the show shall be n Bridgeport, Conn.,, and that the agree nent shall take effect and be in force in 1901. Peter Sells would not, he said, ever consent to leaving Columbus.

MAJOR GENERAL WARREN.

forms the left of the enemy's position facing Trichard's drift and which divides it from the position facing Potgieter's drift. It has considerable command over all the enemy's intrenchments."
 General Warren, it appears, has not been able to make much progress since that day owing to the strength of the Boers' intrenchments, but has succeeded in holding the ground which he had won.
 Evidently his position is perilous, for General Butler, telegraphing at 20 min utes past 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon, stated that an attack upon Spion's kop, the center of the Boer position, would be made that night.
 By this time. if Sir. Redvers' intentions were carried out, the attack has been made. and the British have either struck a decisive blow for the relief of Lady smith or have-as was the case with their previous night attacks-been forced back by the rife blast from the Boer trenches.
 When London will know the result of the night attack will depend largely upon whether the British are successful.
 If victorious, General Butler is not like ly to lose much time in notifying the gov ernment, and the news should reach here some time this morning.
