COMPLIMENTARY MUSICALE.
Mrs. Lolita Mills Hough and Mr.. Lloyd
Wrightson in Recital.

Members of the musical fraternity of
Washington to the number of several hun
dred gathered in the ball room of the New
Willard last evening and enjoyed to the
fullest extent the complimentary recital
offered by Mrs. Lolita Mills Hough, pianist,
and Mr. Sidney Lloyd Wrightson, bari
tone. This was Mrs Hough's first appear
ance in Washington after an absence OF
several years in Europe. That her old
friends, who were legion, remembered her
favorably was evidenced by the cordial
welcome which she received. Her work
on the plano proved that during these
years she has improved her art, and after
the recital she was warmly congratulated.
Mr.. Wrightson never was in better voice.
His solos, in which he was accompanied by
Miss Arley Mott on the plano, were well
selected and well sung. The best impress
sion of the evening was made by his rem
dftion of I'm Wearin' AVA" by Arthur
Foote. which was sung without accompana-
ment.
Mrs. Hough's playing reminded one of the
days when she appeared on the concert
stage and her success last evening was not
less pronounced than when she appeared
here with Henri Marteau, the celebrated
French vioiinist. She displayed thorough
mastery of her instrument, particularly
pleasing because of the fact that the audi
ence was composed almost exclusively OF
musicians or music lovers, or both. Among
her selections those which were most
cordially received were the 'Grunfeld Ro-
manga" and the 'sTendre Aven," Leschetiz-
kys '"rarantella,' Edward Scsluett's eight
"Poesies" (Which are dedicated to Mrs.
Hough), the Rubinstein prelude and the
piano part of "Eliland," the Won F1eiitz

SAkHALlN TRAGIC ISLAND.
Most Violent Of Russian Prisoners
Sent There from Sibe-
rian Jails.

Sakhalin, the island which Japan IL
now taking, Or rather, retaking. from
Russia. is the place to which Russia
sends her violent convicts. The con-
vict of Siberia has some liberty to con-
sole him for his detention, but the
convict in Sakhalin none. When a
party of convicts (having been pro-
nounced violent" by the governor of
the Siberian station) is landed at SAX
hahn the procession to the Jail is as
follows: First among the prisoners
come men with letters on their legs
and linked together in pairs, the clank-
ing of their chains making a lugubri-
Gus noise. Next come half a dozen
men, each without letters but secured
by the hands to long iron rod Then
follow female prisoners. and after
them the most affecting part of the
WhOle-the wives and children who
have elected to accompany into exile
their husbands and fathers Behind
them rumble "telegas," or rough wag-
ons, wherein are TRANSPORTED baggage
and those children who are too young
or inf1rm to walk
When on the march the prisoners
are allowed three pounds of bread and
one-half pound of Neat each day, and
they are not forbidden to receive aims.
But when they arrive at their destina-
t1on their lot is pitiful one Their
cells are damp and fungus covered,
their food is less than the allowance
during the journey and their work in
the salt mines is most exhausting.
Many of the prisoners are very ignor-
ant. Few of them can read excepting
the Caucasians, but they are all put to
the same laborious work, and in the
event of their being physically unable
to perform their allotted tasks their
punishments are very cruel. The Eng
lish "cat-o'nine tails" is nothing to
the terrors of the "bodiga" In this
instrument of torture the prisoner is
so fixed that he can neither move nor
cry out, and wire thongs bound at the
end with pointed tin strike his back at
frequent intervals. 49, ,.,~.~iat
Other tortures to which prisoners
are subjected are too dreadful to write
about, and during all these tortures
the prisoner is prevented by gags from
obtaining even the poor relief of a
scream. Surely the horrors Of the
salt mines of Iletskaya are nothing
compared to the abominatfonsqof SAX.

Example of theH.Japanesesz Navy
!. i. VIII Be Emulated by the
=. Heads Of Our Own Sea A.
- l$5ss ss#AA53sS& ~ Forces. - ~ -y.-,

One of the revelations of Japanese
character and Japanese prudence that
the events OF the last year and half
have furnished is the. ability Of that
people to keep their own connsel. AS
a &cOnsequence, says the Detroit Free
Press, they have sprung one. surprise
after another upon the world, and this
has aroused so much wonder and adj
miration that other countries, our own
among them, have undertaken TO en-
ulate their discretion. 1t is now an
nounced that our navy department will
hereafter order officers to keep silence
concerning matters affecting that arm
Of the service. OF, course, we contend
that our navy is the equal, if not the
superior, of any other in the world, but
that Its personnel has rather over
worked the boosted American freedom
of speech cannot be denied In the bat
tie of the Korean strait there was hard
ly question of division of honors; but
had there been it would not have taken
shape among the participants or in
official circles. The ascription of sue
cess to the virtues of the emperor and
the spirits of their ancestors precluded
all controversy.
Then again, we can hardly imagine
a Japanese naval officer dragging in
the sovereign of a neutral country in a
'Hoch der kaiser" me und Colt" in
cident, even as an after-dinner pleas
antry Of club banquet. Without doubt
our tarry heroes talk too much. They
are too free with their boasts and their
criticisms, and the same is true of the
military arm of the service. This anna
BILE weakness can perhaps be qualified
somewhat, but we doubt whether it can
be entirely eliminated. It is. not alto
gether a matter that can be reached
by discipline. 1t is not discipline that
is wholly or in large part responsible
for it among the Japanese. The virtue
of silence where silence works to. their
advantage is an inherited quality. y
MOREOVER, it. has been often noted that
the United States and the east, Japan
especially, represent two opposite types
5!of national expression. Here .individ-
ualism asserts itself; there the indi-
vidual is absorbed in the state There
fore the secrets of the army and navy
are state secrets, and no individual
would any more think of disclosing
them than the arm of a man would move
until the brain willed it: Herewe regard
our knowledge and our ideas ais our own;
to do with as we WILL, We resent any
challenge of that right, and probably the
new regulation will be- stigmatized by
those to whom it applies as ~a;'.gag, or
der" There is more hope that we can
successfully emulate the Japanese hos
pital service than their practice of Off
cial silence. Certainly we have never yet
been able to do what Japan has, done,
which is to mystify and defeat the best
newspaper correspondents in the world:

FREN cHMAN's SLIDING BOAT
Skins "a long the Surface Of the Water
3 III with &Lightness and
2 2sEa& gsas 2aas Speed.

The fact that stone can skim the
water If its flat surface strikes square
~ has recently been put in practice
in the construction Of a sliding boat
by French inventor, M. de Lambert.
The friction which Is present when the
de Lambert boat slides over the water
is very slight, and the power which is
necessary in order to make the boat
glide is not high. When the boat is
at rest it is supported by floats, says
the American Inventor.
The boat constructed by M. de Lam
bert has a total length of 20 feet, with
a width Of ten feet between the in
clined planes upon which it slides.
The boat has parallel floats resembling
certain Asiatic canoes. The two floats
are very narrow and are united by
crosspieces, partly of wood and partly
of aluminium, metal which has been
used to a large extent in the construc-
ton of the boat because of it's slight
weight. -. ..:e.stt }
The motor used is IL horse power,
but the essential parts of the boat are,
fixed sliding planes, adjusted under the
boat at carefully regulated distances
from each other. These planes, which
are made of wood, are immersed to a
depth of several centimeters when the
boat is at rest, and they are inclined
at an angle which has been decided
upon after wide experimentation. The
total weight of the boat is about 1900
pounds, but in order to move this
weight it requires motor of only 10
horsepower, while in the case of. au-
tomobile boats the motors required are
60, 80 and even 100-horse power. :. y
M. Belief says that M. de Lambert's
boat has been timed by official chronom-
eters, and that the results have been
surprising. When the motor is started
the boat commences to move with the
planes still submerged, cutting the wa
ter horizontally. But this lasts only
short time; the planes show an in
Simultaneous tendency to rise, and they
are practically on the water at the end
of few meters. Then the speed quick
~ increases, because of the immense
diminution in resistance, and soon the
boat is sliding on the water. or, more
exactly, on a layer Of air resting be-,
tween the planes and the water at
speed Of II, Is or Is miles an hour.
