INDIGNATION EXPRESSED.
Condition Of Hickory Lane Subject of
Vigorous Comment.

Pleasure and indignation were about
equally mixed at the regular meeting Of
the East End Suburban Citizens Associa-
ton, held last evening at Northeast Tenn
pie After routine matters were disposed
of President Ernest submitted his report,
showing what had been accomplished dur
ing the past few months In it he felicit-
ated the members of his association on the
appropriation by Congress Of the sum Of
5000 for continuing the permanent i'm
provement of Bladensburg road; on the
passage Of the bill allowing forty addition
al privates to the local police force; on the
prospect Of securing sewerage south Of
Benning road; on the freedom Of Maryland
avenue from encroachment by the rail-
roads; on the prospect of securing at the
beginning of next session the opening Of M
street and of 2Sth and r streets and on
account of several small favors granted by
Major Sylvester and by the Commissioners.
After the adoption OF his report Mr.. Leo
pold Luchs created sensation by report
ing that Mr.. Charles Lassausky, q tenant
Of his living on the Hickey lane, had lost
one Of his children for lack OF medical at
tention because a physician had been un-
able to reach his premises ON account Of
the frightful condition Of the lane and
that when the funeral took place the I'M
dertaker in attendance had been compelled
to leave the hearse on Bladensburg road
while the coffin containing the body of the
childSwas borne on the shoulders of men
a distance Of half a mile from the resi-
dence to the hearse, which remained in
waiting.
When it was reported that Congress had
appropriated the sum of $24, 600 for the i'm
provemeRt of Delaware avenue and for
other streets lying within the zone of the
proposed union station viaduct, which land
had been given to the railroad companies,
and yet had turned down bill for the
opening Of r street, which would serve as
an outlet for many families now shut out
for several months in every year on ac-
count Of the indescribable condition of
Hickey lane, great Indignation was ex-
pressed.
On motion Of Mr.. Millard the secretary
was Instructed to protest against the inn
provement Of railroad property at the 'ex-
pense Of local taxpayers as long as people
living within mile and half Of the
CAPITOL building were compelled to under
go the frightful experience of the Las
sausky family.
Willard and Bowdier reported having pre-
sented the get COAL and other resolutions
to the Senate committee. Mr.. Willard re-
ported that he proposed to take the whole
matter of appropriating money for the
benefit of private corporations into the
Merrfment was caused by the reading of
a copy of a letter recently sent to the
commissioners by Mr.. Leopold Luchs, in
which he stated that he could not drink Po-

mineral spring in Hickey lane because OF

from his revolver. 1t is said, in the attempt

the head just behind and above the left

EMPRESS DowAaER DEoE1TFUL.

It a riot of murder exceeding the Boxer

JAPANESE ART.
Prof. Fenollosa Compares It With
European Art.


Prof. Ernest F. Fenollosa endeavored to
show the similarity in the development Of
Asiatic and European art in the third of Ms
series of lectures on the art of the orient
at the Washington club last night. More
and more interest is being manifested in
the lectures of Prof Fenollosa as the series
progresses, and the audience that attends
them is growing greater with each lecture.
The illustrations used by the lecturer are
superior to any seen here for many years.
the artistic quality of the pictures of nature
being especially prominent. 1t was not the
endeavor of the lecturer to show nature Ia st
night His talk dealt more with the art Of
the orientals as compared with the art of
the European. He did not attempt to dis
cuss the quality of. either as compared with
the other, but showed each and allowed the
audience to judge for itself The many
years residence Of Prof. Fenollosa in the
east has made it possible for him to secure
material for such course Of lectures as he
is giving that would be denied other per-
sons who simply visit country for the pur-
pose of obtaining lecture material. In his
residence in Japan Prof. Fenollosa became
thoroughly imbued with Japanese ideas and
customs and he is therefore better able to
talk Of the ideals and emotions of such peo-
pie than those whose information has been
acquired by means of short and hasty
tour of the country.
The lecture last night was remarkable for
several reasons but 1t Is probable that the
feature that most distinguished 1t from
others of similar character was in the
showing of two pictures from separate pro-
jectors side by side on the same canvas.
There were two stereoscopes in the hall, and
in tracing the development of European
and Asiatc art, Prof. Fenollosa had shown
on the canvas specimens of the art of the
different periods of which he spoke. While
there is a marked similarity in the subjects
and the methods of treatment, 1t was the
endeavor of the lecturer to show that ex-
actly the same feeling predominated. AS In
a previous lecture, Prof. Fenollosa dwelt
upon the fact that the orientals of today
have retained for centuries a certain soft
suggestion Of nature which is carried out
in wonderful detail a feature which he
claims has been lost in European art, al
though 1t did at one time exist.
The fourth lecture Of the series will deal
with the universal laws of structure in art
and the way to teach them in modern art
education. This lecture will also be Illus
trated simultaneously with slides from two
lanterns.

BouRKE COCHRAN Ill IN EGYPT
Stricken With Bronchial Pneumonia at
Assouan-Crisis Passed.

Assouan-Crisis Passed.
The New York Herald Of today says: Mr..
w. Bourke Cochran is i'll at Assouan,
Egypt. with bronchial pneumonia. For a
week his condition has been extremely dan
gerous, but a private cablegram received
here yesterday announced that the crisis
had been passed and that the patient is
now improving.
Mr.. Cochran left some time ago for a
tour of Europe. After stay in England
and France he decided to go to the south
and pass a month in Egypt. He visited
Cairo and then determined to go futher up
the Nile. He planned to reach Assouan and
then make desert tour, accompanied only
by his servants and guides.
On reaching Assouan, however, Mr.. Cock
ran became i'll with bronchial affection,
which developed into bronchial pneumonia.
For week he has been lying i'll in As
souan, but excellent medical attention was
procured for him, and it is now believed
that his recovery is assured.
Not until yesterday, when the cablegram
announcing his improvement was received,
did his friends here learn of Mr.. Cockran's
Illness, and, despite the reassuring news
conveyed in the message, considerable I'M
easiness was felt here, as he Is not travel
ing with a party, but Is unaccompanied,
save by his attendants.

The locomotives were imbedded in drifts
fifteen feet deep. The fires Of one locomo-

to that discomfort, but the food supply of
all became short day before the snow
