worthy of his gifts and produce the solid CON
tribution to the history of art which, after his
long years of research and practice, his friends
have right to expect. We want another vol
unle like that which he wrote on Lorenzo Lotto,
only we want it to be a better one.
Mr. Brownelrs French Art" received a wei
come in the columns of The Tribune on its first
appearance, in 1892, the warmth of which we
would in wise abate now that the book re-
appears in far handsomer form and with a
chapter as well with some beautiful il
Illustrations. 1t is the best introduction to its
subject that exists in English. Mr.. Brownell
may have, the saying goes, his likes and dis
likes; but he allows them to interfere
with his main purpose. which is to put his
reader in possession of the facts. And by the
facts We mean not only tangible things but
those elusive qualities in art which, if matter
of opinion, are also matter for philosophical
analysis. and can be, in the hands of the right
man, conclusivey weighed and stated. Thus, in
the new chapter devoted to ROdin, it is obvious
that to him the great sculptor means a degree
of beauty which he does not mean TO all of US,
yet the reader is left free to decide for himself,
and all through the discussion Mr.. BroWnell IS
letting fall remarks which distinct helps
toward a clearer understanding of the theme.

perfect ratification of what he says. Every
detail to Robins sculpture is speaking. If it
knocked to pieces its fragments would
still be interesting" The broken pieces of d
characters statuette by this sculptor lying
before US, show, to the smallest of them,
that Mr.. Brownell is right. Every detail the
contour of leg the modelling of the back, has
IN 1t the breath of Robins genius. These added
pages leave Mr. Brownels volume singularly
and sculpture with the book in his hands could
go far wrong He will profit by the compan-
ionship Of intelligence which illuminates the
darkest corners of the field.
A smaller but surely not for that reason any
less acceptable form has been given to Mr.
Bates book on The English Pre- -RaphaeIites"
in it's new edition. The account of the school. as
We have before this remarked, is drawn up with
thoroughness and discretion. The pre-It phael-
ties are not likely be taken seriously in fut-
ure years as Mr.. Ba takes them. But there VIII
always be students anxious TO know the facts
relating to undeniably conspicuous movement
in the history Of British art, and this book VIII
give it to them. 1t has, too an advantage over
most publications Of the sort. The pre-kaphael-
ties rarely achieved perfection Of color, RosSetti,
Burne- Jones and many OF their colleagues and
followers are infinitely attractive in photo
graphic reproductions than in their original
paintings Mr.. Bates book is richly illustrated,

sources His Harvard professorship gave him
relief from anxiety and leisure for authorship
which were indeed blessings to him; but his edi-
turship Of The Atlantic more than balanced
these blessings the work and worry it involved
When Mr.. Scudder became editor of the maga-
zine in 1896, Lowell contrasted his successors
position with his own. and remarked on the very
much larger number of writer's on whom Scud
der could call for contributions and the higher
average of training in literary work
Your task" he wrote me- will be in one
spect at least easier than mine thirty odd
years ago, for there now twenty people who
can write English where there was one then.
Indeed there are many, and they do II SO
we'll that it looks as if literature profession
or guild Were near its end, and if every man
tand womanl would do his or her own on the
principle Of Every man his washerwoman.'
i thought and said, however, that it was not
general average but distinction which gave a
stamp to the magazine. and that III that re-
spact he certainly had the advantage In one
of his letters to Mr. Richard Grant White, who
feared a Shakespeare article he had furnished
might be the one paper too much, he wrote: Il
don't care whether the public are tired of the
Divine Williams or not-a part Of the magazine,
as long 1 have anything TO do with 1t, shali
be expressly not for the Mob (of well dressed
gentlemen who read with ease).
Mr. Scuader gives much space to Lowelrs ex-
rerieDces as American Minister in Spain and
Great Britain-offices which did not bring him
unalloyed enjoyment though his popularity IN
England, the friends he made there, and the
honors bestowed upon him were greatly to his
mind There is much of interest in the closing
chapter Of the biography, which deals with
those years in which the poet dwelt mostly in
his own country il lettered ease, the object of
great deal Of unaffected reverence and the VIC
tim OF occasional interviewers- The wise and
gentle lady who had become his second wife
had been laid to rest. after a woful period OF
tnyalidisrn In an English grave. and Of those
near to him there were left only his daughter,
Mrs Burnett and her children. They We're ten
der and devoted housemates- In his domestic
relations and in his friendships Lowell was
altogether deiightful-unselfish, affectonate,
playful sympathetic. When in his later days
under stress of painful illness authorship be-
came burden and he compared the working OF
his wits to cold molasses, he was never 100
worn or i'll to write a gay and charming letter
to q friend Tired his muse might De- IL
frightened upon due occasion-as when ne
wrote this bit of rhyme for the seventy-flfth
birthday of kind old neighbor Asa Gray:
Just Fate prolong his life well spent

Have been so gayly innocent
And fragrant his flowers.
The portraits and other Illustrations Of these
volumes are excellent, the photography and the
index all that they should be. If there be some

Business.

NEW YORK, Aug 6.-James ]. Hill,
president of the Great Northern railway,
who has returned from the Northwest,
said today that the wheat, barley, fiax,
hay and most of the crops along the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
roads are looking extremely well, and
promise to be much ahead of last year.
ITO show the growth of our general
traffic. said Mr.. Hill, 81 need only call
attention to what we have accomplished
in spite of the crop failure last year
along the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific. The loss was 100000 bushels
of grain. In transportation and pur-
chasing power this meant loss Of $1,000,
600 to the Great Northern railway, all Of
which loss was made up within $4,000 by
the increase of other traffic and the re-
trenchments of expenses
How will the Burlington show up,
with so great a falling off in the corn
crOp?' Mr. Hill was asked.
That is a question that nobody can
answer definitely at this time" returned
Mr.. Hill. But 1 expect the Burlington
will give a good account of itself-as
good, in fact, as the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific have following the par
tial failure of the spring wheat crop Of
last year. Maybe better"

BUSINESS is GOOD.
Immense Quantities of Produce Han
died Lust Week

Grain traffic of Western and Southwest
ern lines at Chicago last week was the
most satisfactory of any in a long time
This was due to the large movement Of
wheat, 22i6,000 bushels, or more than dOu-
bic that Of the corresponding period last
year. Had the corn receipts been up to the
average, the showing by the roads would
have been much better. Cars to haul
wheat are scarce in the Southwest, but
the movement there is not so heavy as
few weeks ago.
The live stock traffic was lighter, but
1t only decreased 5000 head from the pre-
ViOus week, with deliveries of 800, 900
head, and showed a gain of 10000 over
last year.
The Burlington was in the lead with 26
per cent, according to the market re-
ceipts; the Illinois Central had y per
cent; the Milwaukee and Rock Island
tied on II per cent; the Alton had Z, and
the Great Western Wabash and Santa
Fe secured per cent.
Receipts of all grains at Chicago for
the week were 5,616O00 bushels, a gain Of
l,02S,000 over the previous week; IA, 900
over the same week last year, and $4,000
over the corresponding week in 1898 The
comparison with 1899 was not so favora-
bic, there being a loss for the last week
of l,4lT 900 and of 3,704 600 from 1897 and
a reduction of 7,176,000 from the same
time in 1886.
Roads east of Chicago complain of a
dIdlness OF east-bOund traffic. Shipments
OF flour last week were Il ,541 barrels,
decrease of 1855 as compared with the
previous week, but gain of Il 1867 over
the same week last year.
The shipments of grain were 1,40O,O 600
bushels, Il gain of 10000 bushels for the
week and of $4,000 over last year. There
was a reduction of 1853 tons in the out
ward movement of provisions, and the
aggregate was ., rs tons, a gain of 900
tons over last year. Rates, while not
absolutely maintained on grain, suffered
no decline. but they cannot be said to
have advanced any nearer tariff than
they We're formerly Those on packing
house products had a firmer tendency.
Roads in the West and Northwest are
not going to be caught mapping for cars
this year if they can help it. The North
ern Pacific has had built thousands of
now and Xtra-large freight cars, which
Will be used to carry the big wheat crop
along its line this year. The Great North
ern is also getting new cars, while all
of the roads are taking equal precau-
ton to be outside of the circle Of car
famine victims when the crop begins to
move.

PanhandIe Paxs Divfdends.

The recent payment of dividends on
the common stock of the Panhandle road
at the rate of 2 per cent is regarded as
significant. 1t marks the reaching OF
that point in the roads history where eX-
traordinary expenditures for maintenance
earnings are no longer necessary to an
extent, at least that will eat up all the
surplus earnings. The bonded debt of
the company now amounts TO SAG, 15, COO;
preferred stock to $22, 700, 1888, and common
stock to SIS, 30, 72l, a total capitalization
of $94, 626, 514. On the total operated mile
age, !, 407 miles, capitalization per mile 1lg-
ures as follows: Bonded debt H2, 662,
preferred stock, $2o,7S0; common stock,
$22. sos; total per mile, $S5, 897
Total fixed charges amount to So GIG, 429,
or 1853 per mile. Deduction OF other
income of $241, 10 leaves the net charge
s., 375, 259 or 1892 per mile. Last year
net Of s., 998, $780, and surplus of $2SS2, $50.
This would have provided per cent on
both classes of stock.
Last year, after the per cent preferred
dividend and the extraordinary expenGi~
lures, the amount earned for the com"
mon was equal to over per cent. AT
the rate for the first five months, the net
be about 100000 over fixed charges.
With the same amount allowed as last
year for extraordinary expenditures,
nearly per cent would be shown on the
common.
Maintenance of way shows an excess
margin of about SS500O0, which would pay
almost 3 per cent on both classes OF
handle is putting income into the road at
the rate of 81. so for each 81 it is paying
in dividends This gives preferred stock
very considerable investment value.

TAMPA CITIZENS I<IDNAP MEM
RERS OF RESTSTENCIA UNION.

TAMPA, Fla, Aug. 6.-The strike sit
uation tonight is one of bewiIderment on
the part of the citizens. No word has
been received from or about the Resist
encia leaders, who were deported last
night, and the vigilants are sworn to
secrecy, further than they admit the
men will never return to Tampa. The
exact number of the men deported is
not yet known, but every prominent
leader of the strikers is missing 1t is
said that others are Marked and that
deportation may take place at any mo-
ment
The kidnapping last night had been we'll
planned for days. A great open air meet
ing had been arranged, at which all
the Resistencia leaders had been in
vited, the purpose being to catch them
all in a bunch They were all present
Music had been provided and the streets
were lined with thousands of people,
Shortly before the posse of citizens
reached the place, the news reached the
strike leaders, and they quickly dis
persed The crowd was not daunted, and
commenced man-to-man search
through the streets, and snatched the
men from the crowds. The captured lead
ers were at once driven to the county
Jail, where they remained on the out
side under guards for a few minutes
Then they disappeared and have not
been seen or heard of since Various
rumors as to their disposition have been
circulated in the city today, it being most
generally reported that they were taken
into the gulf in an unknown and mys-
ferrous vessel. All of the deported strike
leaders were Spaniards and Cubans. The
holiness of the whole affair and the
accomplishment of the deportation with
out bloodShed is one of the remarkable
features.

partment that valuable mineral treasures
have recently been discovered in Pales-
tine and that it is safe to say the in.
dustrial awakening of the Holy Land
Is no longer dream. He saws il is true
that the greater part of the once -four
ishing country is barren desert. the
lines of communication are miserable
and traffic is unsafe aside from the one
railroad from Yafa to Jerusalem. Mr.
Harris says that the newly discovered
mineral deposits lie on both sides of the
Jordan and the Dead sea- The salt de-
posits of the Dead sea- also could be de-
veloped into an Industry.
Mr.. Harris considers phosphate tho
most important of all deposits and he
says the immense fields of that mineral
to the east and west of the Jordan need
only better means of traffic and com.
munication in order to insure their de-
velopment This, it would seem is nor
iar distant, as the Turkish government
Is planning continuation of the Yafa-
