ARTIST RAFFAELLI MAKES
AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
May Revolutionize Painting-Oil Colors
Put Up in Solid Sticks-Wonder-
full Effects.

PARIS, July 5.-J. J. Raffaelli. one of
the best known of genre painters
among living French artists, claims to
have made a discovery which, if it is all
he claims, will revolutionize oil paint
ing. AT reception chiefly for French
and foreign painters in his studio last
Wednesday, Raeffelli demonstrated his
discovery.
He pointed out the disadvantage of the
pastel, as the color falls off, loses its
tone and rarely retains its original
beauty and luster. even under glass.
Oils. too. he said. were used at disad-
vantage when the artist was not working
in his own studio. There, when prepar-
ed. the colors began to run on account of
the oil with which they are mixed.
The palette and brushes and access
ories can be cleaned, but when he is
working on landscape In the open or
making portraits In the houses of sit
ters these details break the unity of
thought, and the interruption is gener-
ally perceptible in the finished work.
After many years of experimenting.
Raffaelli has now combined the advan-
tages Of the pastel and its fine, soft,
velvet coloring. with those of the oil, TO
which time adds beauty.

Spooner's Ability.

| In the course of the legislation incl
dent to the control of the Philippines
and the other island dependencies. in
Guiding Cuba, Senator Spooner has been
looked to by the leaders of his party
and by both Presidents Mckinley and
Roosevelt continually for counsel and
guidance Upon him have devolved in
the Senate the responsibilities of lead
ership as the representative of the Ad-
ministration and his party. He has ac-
quilted himself ably and successfully In
every encounter with the opposition.
Even on the last day of the session he
turned the attack of Democratic Sena-
tors, who hoped to make capital out of
the partisan character of the inquiry
into the condition OF the Philippines,
into a complete rout. making a brilliant
speech, which was instantly seized on
by the Congressional campaign commit
tee as one of the best documents avail
able for the approaching campaign.
Senator Spooner has refused every
suggestion from his friends of assistance
in shaping events so that he might over
come the effect of the letter which he
wrote two years ago and restore himself
to the position OF a candidate for re-
election. Until within the last few
weeks 1t has been a settled conviction
with probably majority of Wisconsin

Extensive Negotiations Involved in
Transfer - Considerable Resentment
Felt at Action of Island Government
Should Have Accepted Situation.

Owing to the objection of Cuba il Is
very probable that the United States will
relinquish the control of the warehouses
and wharf at Triscornia, near Havana.
This country is practically maintaining
coaling station at that place Admiral
Bradford having put in a quantity of coal
at the time when the property was under
lease by the military authorities, for
Government purposes.
Cuba Presses Claim.
Minister Squiers at Havana has in
formed the State Department that the
Cuban Government has brought to his at
tention the fact that the United States
continues to occupy the Triscornia prop
erty. notwithstanding the transfer of the
government of the island to Cuba, and it
is desired that steps be taken for the re-
linquishment OF American control over
the property.
This will involve some negotiations be-
tween the TWO countries. owing 10 the fact
that the Triscornia wharf was construct
ed by the Americans and the warehouses
were only leased. The negotiations will
also include the Triscornia railway prop
erty. which connects the wharf with the
main railway line Of Cuba.
Action Resented.
There is feeling Of resentment among
some of the officials over Cuba's action in
presenting this matter at such an early
date. II is not denied that Cuba is en-
titled 10 a recognition Of sovereignty
over the Triscornia property, but as the
warehouses are private property, leased
by the American Government, 1t is
thought that Cuba might have contented
herself with the situation.

said he desired to do.
But the fact that Governor Hoard and
large number of substantial support
ers of Governor Lafolette are demand
ing the convention should indorse him
in the most positive terms. in order TO
make it possible for him to withdraw his
letter. has of late given rise TO the hope
that notwithstanding the convention
should be controlled by Lafollette S
friends. it would also insure the re-
election of Senator Spooner.
The nondescript expectation with re-
gard TO the result of the approaching
convention is best explained by saying
that It is a personal fight between La
toilette and Spooner. with consider
able following on each side implacably
hostile TO each other, and the large ma
jority of the party in the State dis
tressed and embarrassed by the fact of
such quarrel within their organiza-
ticn.
Governor Lafollette has been recog-
nized as a candidate for the Senate
himself, but his present ambition. as
distinctly avowed is recollection to the
governorship. The feeling between La
toilette and Spooner goes back a good
many years, even as far as when La
toilette was member of the House and
Spooner was serving his first term in the
Senate.

Whatever may be the verdict OF the

Boys Alleged to Have

formation.
DID ALL USE ONE BOAT?
Prosecutions Case VIII Be to Prove, It
Is Stated, That Three Set Out in
Small Craft, and That the Prisoner
Alone Returned to Shore.

ST. JAMES, L. l., July 5.-Distriet At
torney Livingston Smith was asked to-
day about a report that new and impor-
tant evidence had been discovered in the
case of Louis A. Disbrow, accused of the
murder of Sarah Lawrence and Clarence
Foster. All that Mr.. Smith would say
was that no new evidence had been dis
covered by him. Whether he meant that
he had knowledge of new evidence he
would not say.
Furnished by Boys.
The alleged new evidence is said to
have been furnished by three boys, Ed
ward Croker, Harry Jacobs, and John
Carter. 1t goes to show, if true, that the
leaky boat belonging to Nelson Squires,
in which Foster and Miss Lawrence were
at first supposed to have embarked on
the night they met their deaths, was not
used by them, and that it may have been
set adrift to give rise to the very sup
position that was first entertained-that
Foster and the girl lost their lives while
trying to cross the bay in the leaky
craft
John Carter, who works for Nelson

Miss Lawrence he had made the leaky
boat fast and had taken out the oarlocks.
tied them to a string. and wound the
string a number Of times around the seat
of the boat so that the oarlocks hung
beneath the seat.
On the Opposite Shore.
The following morning Harry Jacobs
and Edward Croker found the boat on
the opposite shore of the bay, and, it
is said. are to testify that they found
the oarlocks tied just as described by
Carter. There was one oar in the boat.
which was awash. The painter was
trailing behind the boat and did not look
as if it had been broken.
The theory is that the boat was not
occupied by Foster and the girl on the
night of the tragedy, and that it was set
adrift as a ruse to divert suspicion.
If it is shown that the leaky boat was
not used on that night, then, it is ar
vanced another step toward proving that
Foster, Disbrow and the girl boarded
another boat, owned by Frederick
Squires, which is g watertight craft and
capable of holding several persons.
Found on the Beach.
This boat was found drawn up On
the beach the day after the disappear
ance of Foster and Miss Lawrence. 1t
was about 100 yards from where it had
been left the night before. and it seemed
to have been recently used, although the
oarlocks were missing.
1t may be the object of the district
attorney to prove that Disbrow, Foster
and the girl started out in this boat and
that Disbrow came back alone.

WHY MIR. WATTERSON
OPPOSES CLEVELAND
Louisville Editor Says Sar-
castle Things.
In Attacking Ex-President, He Says
He Merely Wanted to "Puncture
a Fraud"

ST. PAUL, July 5.-Henry Wattersoa,
editor of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal,' was here today, en- route to the Pa
cifc Coast. Discussing Grover Cleve-
land. he said:
"One of the many unfortunate fea-
lures of the newspaper publication is its
lack OF continuity. If the various writ
ers who have puzzled their wits to as
certain some ulterior motive for what
they describe. as my attack upon Mr..
Cleveland, would turn back little and
consult both the record and their own
seek for the truth.
Accusations Made.
"I have made certain specific accusa-
tions against Mr.. Cleveland; that he has
been an officeseeker ever since he was
twenty-one years old; that he had posed
as retired statesman and sage during
the three years from 1889 to 1892, while
he was engaged in the most adroit cam
paign to achieve his denomination in the
latter year; that he was supported in
this by all his old officehoiiers. who
thought If he got back they would get
back; that seven members OF his original
Cabinet attended the Chicago conven-
tion of 1892, headed by Whitney. BayArd
and Villas, to work for his nomination;
yet all this while he was posing as
he is posing now, as a retired patriot
and seer who could not be induced to
accept office. These are specific charges
which are either true or false.
Trying for Activity.
81 think that Grover Cleveland is en-
gagged and his friends are engaged In
movement to bring him back into po-
litical leadership With him this means
nothing but office. Whatever it may mean
with them, with him II is the concrete
things of public life; he is pre- emnently
a man who never drops substance to
grasp after the shadow. In my belief he
took up his home in Princeton amid the
conspicuous shade Of great university,
where he could constantly be before the
minds of students, coming from every
quarter of the Union, and where he could
occasionally appear as a philosopher and
statesman with no other purpose than
his future temperance in practical pol
itics.
Organized as a Lever.
''The Tilden Club was organized to
bring him back into political activity, and
as / regard that as in the highest degree
sinister, / have attacked it: the better to
attack it l have fortified my opinions by
recalling Mr.. Cleveland's peculiar record
as an Office seeker and an office holder.
AS an Office seeker he has always posed
as man disdaining Office and rising su-
perior to the average politician. On this
account have described him as practic-
ing indefatigable duplicity.
