THE SECRET or WHISTLER's
 MASTERY


 It has often been said that Whistler's $ art was an art of evasion. But the req Ison of the evasion was reverence. He kept himself reverentfy sat a distance. He knew how much he. could not do; nor was he ever onffdent even of the things that he could do; and these things, therefore, he did superlatively we'll having to grope for the means in the recesses of his soul. The particular quality of exquisitiveness and fresh ness that gives to all his work, whether on canvas or on stone ogs.on copper, Il distinction from and above any con- temporary work and makes 1t dearer to cur eyes and heartr, is a quality that came to him because he was an ana teur, and that abided with him because he never ceased to be an amateur. He was master through his lack of mas tery. Tn the art of writing he was a master through his lack of mastery. There is almost exact parallel between the two sides of his genius. Nothing could be more absurd than the general view of him as q masterly professional on the one side and trifling amateur on the other. He was certainly paint.

Make Desperate Bayonet Advances to
 Stay Japanese.
 Iiao Yang, Aug, St.-The second days battle commenced at dawn. The Russians made repeated bayonet ad- yances on the road directly south of Liao Yang, where the Japanese ap-l preached from Sanquaiship and Tao, shelling the positions in the Russian lines until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when the engagement, which was gen. eral throughout the south and seuth-5 west. narrowed to the main line. The Japanese advance on the southwest was, by way of the Fenwangcheng road. lm- mediately in front of Chiaofantun the Japanese stubbornly attempted to oc- cupy d round topped hill, which was. literally shaved by Russian shells, mak- ing repeated attempts the entire day where apparently it was impossible for anything to live. The cannonading con tinued from this point to the vicinity of Wangtoptae until this evening With. out apparent advantage to either side. The Japanese dropped shells within two or three miles of the railroad station in the plain os Wentshu mountain, which is the most important eminence around Liao Yang, but the Japanese abandoned aggression there on account of the resistance they met. There was cannon fire last night and this is ex- pected nightly.

sians were buoyed up in the belief that point had been reached where there would b no more retreating, and the Japanese attacks were met with shouts and hurrahs from the trenches and the rife pits.
 Five times the Japanese hurled themselves against our line, but each time they were repulsed at the point of the bayonet.
 There were about 1000 guns in ac- ton on each side, but we have more guns emplaced than have the Japanese.
 The losses cannot yet be computed but they have been great everywhere especially among the artillerymen. For Instance. in the first artillery brigade every officer was either killed or wound ga, and some of the guns were silenced absolutely owing to the death of all the gun crews.
 The spirits of the men are of the highest at all points

MAN oN WRECKED KITE.

An exhibition of the man-lifting mili- tary kites invented by MT. s. F. Cody led to an exciting incident at the Brad ford Exhibition on Saturday.
 A youth named Baker of Cornwall Road, ManninghaTn, fullback of the Menton Association Football Club, and employed as an engineer at the exhibi- ton, made an ascent in one of the cap- tive kites.
 Three kites without human occupants were flying at the time at height of 2,00O feet. The kite in which Baker was seated was placed on wire, connecting the other kites, and when set free irn- rnediately flew up the wire
 When at an altitude of 1.500 feet q gust of wind wrecked Bakers kite, which was madeof light canvas with a bamboo and hickory frame. Baker was left dangling on the wire.
 Deprived of the suspending power of the fourth and larger kite, and with the weight of the young man depending on them, the three other kites and the whole apparatus began rapidly to fall.
 The men at the winch worked in the wire as fast as possible. but the scout and the kites came down at an alarm ing rate, and at one time Baker turned a somersault.
 Fortunately the young man retained his hold, and ultimately alighted on the roof of q villa close to Clock House Es- tate, occupied by Alderman J. A. God win, considerable distance from the exhibition grounds. He was able to get in through the attic window unharmed. 1-London Daily Chronicle.

EoRAKER AT WHITE HOUSE.
Tells the President of Result of His
 Ohio Trip.

Washington. Jan. 22.--A brief confer ence was held at the White House today between the President and Senator Fora ker.
 The Senator returned yesterday from a sojourn of several days in Ohio. where he conferred personally and by letter with many of his friends regarding the politi- cal situation. It was to inform the Pres ident of the result of his observation that he called on him.
 It seems improbable at this time that Senator Foraker will precipitate a con- test in Ohio over the selection of dele gates to the Chicago Convention. Many close friends of the President believe nothing will be gained by such contest. Efforts are being made now to bring Sen ators Hanna and Foraker together in the selection of Ohio's national delegates.
 It Is said there is no disposition to ate tempt to relegate Senator Foraker to the rear if he desires to go to the Chicago Convention as a delegate-at-large, provid. ed no contest finch might imperil the integrity of the Republican organization in the State is made. That the President will not permit himself to be drawn into any factional trouble. either in Ohio or in any other State. is fully understood by Senator Foraker.

 A resolution was adopted releasing To- calls from obligation to meet the taxa 4ion imposed by local trades unions for support of general business agents which act for the miners.
 Members of the executive committee say the committee will levy on the entire membership an increased per capita strike assessment for the support and prosecu- ton of the strikes in Colorado and West Virginia and the Meyerdale district in Pennsylvania- --
 There is at present a per capita strike assessment of 10 cents a month. This. according to the executive committeeman. probably will be increased to 9 cents a month per capita. On the present pay ing membership this assessment should raise S75,O00 month or 5000 year
 The socialists again made determined effort today to inject socialism into the convention by a resolution for the ap- polntment of times for the discussion 'of commercial questions and setting forth soclalistic doctrines.
 It was decided to send two delegates fo the international mining congress at Paris in May. Patrick Dolan of Pennsyl- vania. said his district was opposed to the recommendation of President Mitchell prohibiting the employment of boys under le in the mines. His address was answer ed by John Fahy of the anthracite dis trict, who denounced the practice of em- ploying boys that a few paltry dollars might be added to the wages of miners. .'
 At the afternoon session the committee on officers reported concurrence in Pres ident Mitchelrs recommendation that the organization endeavor to secure legsla- ton prohibiting the employment of boys in mines under IS years of age.

NO BILL THIS YEAR
RIVER AND HARBoR PRoJEcTS
 MUST WATT.
Much Money Appropriated Still Re- mains Unexpended in the Treasury, and Government
 Engineers Are Scarce.

l Washington. Jan. 22.-The House Com mittee on Rivers and Harbors today de- cfded that there should be no river ana harbor appropriation at the present ses- sion of Congress. although few surveys | may be authorized.
 In explanation of the postponement of bill until next session, Chairman Burton made the following statement: "The main reason for this action was | the very large balance appropriated for river and harbor improvements which is now lying in the treasury unexpended. This balance at the end of last year was somewhat in excess of s3S, 900. In addi- ton to this, 1t Is expected that $500, 900 or thereabouts will be appropriated in this sessions sundry civil bill for the con tinuanee of work on rivers and harbors where Improvements are progressing un- der continuing contracts.
 "A considerable number of complaints have been lodged with members of the committee because of slowness in prose- cutting improvements. In some cases ap- propriations were made several years ago, but nothing yet has been done. In oth- CTS, which were provided for In the Dill of June. 1902. the work Is scarcely com
 menced. The inadequate number of Gov ernment engineers engaged in this branch of the service the delay and difficulty In preparing plans and securing sites for Government works. and the high prices
 which have prevailed for several years past, are all. in different degrees. respon- sible for this delay.
 Tt is expected that the committee will present bill at a very early date in the | next session. certainly not later than
 when Congress reconvenes after the holl- day recess. In the meantime, some legis-
 lation will be recommended by the con-
 mittee for the necessary maintenance of the existing public works, for such gem eral legislation as may be desired, and,
 perhaps, also for the examination and sur vey of new projects.
 The committee decided to continue
 hearings during this session and also to
 meet frequently for the consideration of
 river and harbor legislation and the de- | mands of such localities as are requesting improvements. The necessity for giving
 undivided attention to the framing of | the bill will prevent hearings at the next session."

Japanese Major General sent to the
 Scene.
 Washington. Jan. 22.-The situation in Corea is arousing fresh apprehension of renewed trouble in the Far East. It has been the opinion of the military experts here that in the event of war between Russia and Japan, Corea would be made the battle-ground at least in the begin- ming.
 Mir Allen, the American minister at Seoul, cabled the State Department to- day from Seoul as follows:
 Considerable disturbances throughout Corea. The Japanese have been attack ed in many places"
 It Is learned that in view of the possi- bility of Corea's being unable to afford proper protection to Japanese subjects, the TolIio authorities have dispatched a Japanese military officer of the highest rank. namely. major general, to Seoul, where he will be In a position to direct any military operations that Japanese troops may undertake.
 The Corean government has 3500 men under arms, but they have not been train- ed in a modern school and rather resem- ble constabulary than soldiers. It is an- ticipated here that Japan in Corea will repeat the performance of Russia in Manchuria, and make the disturbances on the Japanese railway the ground for military occupation of the line in great corresponding to the Russian occupation of the Manchurian railway.
