BLAINE's PICTURE IN OIL.
Will Replace CrayOn Study in the Speakers
Lobby of House
[FRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU. ]

Washington. March N.-There is exhibition at
the Capitol to-day painting in oil OF the late
James C. Blaine, which is intended to replace the
crsyon likeness of the deceased statesman which
now hangs in the Speakers lobby of the House
The painting Is by Thorpe, and executed on the
order of Andrew Carnegie and other admirers of
the Maine statesman. Many years ago when James
A. Garfield was chairman of the Committee on Ap-
propriations he attempted to have Thorpe paint a
portrait Of Mr.. Blaine but the latter entertained
superstition against having his portrait painted in
oils and vetoed the movement with considerable
vigor. Thorpe had, however made several sketches
and had gathered some data preparatory to begin
ming the work. all of which he preserved When
Mr.. Carnegie in Washington last winter he
the crayOn likeness of Mr.. Blaine among the
many gorgeous paintings of former Speakers Of the
House and inquired why "the man from Maine1
was not similarly depicted. On being told the rea-
son. he hunted up the artist Thorpe and gave hin,
order for the portrait which is soon to be added
20 the large collection Of oil portraits already hung
IN the Speakers lobby. e

IN OUR WATERS.
Russian Vessels Sighted Near the Gulf of
 Ningayen.

Washington, June 3.-The navy de partment to-day received a cablegram from Vice-Admir,al Train, dated Ma. nila, stating that while cruising off the Ningayen gulf he sighted three Rus sian vessels close to shore, the AnOra. Oleg and Jentching. He says he ex. poets to find many wounded on board the vessels. The admiral added that he would send further particulars later.
 This cablegram was received at the navy department shortly after the As sociated Press bulletin was translated by Admiral Converse to Secretary Nor ton at his residence. Early in the day Admiral Train cabled the navy depart ment that he had seen warships sup posed to be Russian off the coast of Luzon. Further reports state that he started with vessels of his fleet for the port of Sual, 12O miles north of Manila, to investigate. It is stated at the state deartment that pthe Russian vessels will be treated exactly as were those which anchored in Chinese ports dur ing the early stage of the war, namely. allowed to remain twenty-four hours if undamaged and seaworthy, other wise they will be obliged to make ab- solute necessary repairs and be de tained until the end of the war. It is expected here that the latter course will be followed.

SEES TROUBLE AHEAD.
Platt Mills Company Fears its Prep.
 erty Will be Injured.

The Platt Mills company is again in trouble over the Naugatuck river, this time with the contractors who are double tracking the railroad near the Bristol Manufacturing company's fac- tory. For over a quarter of mile the contractors have raised the river em- bankment to a height of from twenty five to thirty feet in order to eliminate the grade crossing at the Platt Mills bridge, and also narrowed the river. The Platt company sees danger ahead to their property in case of freshet, a frequent occurrence in the Naugatuck river after winter The high embank- ment on the opposite side of the river and the encroachment on the river It. self would necessarily endanger the Platt property by forcing the current of the river nearer to the east em- bankment and in times Of high water would flood the entire plant which could not fail to result in vast amount of damage. Lewis A. Platt appears to be alarmed over the prospect and this morning consulted counsel with view to bringing proceedings of remedial nature.

A TRIP TO SCOTLAND.
James Callan Made Recipient oi
 Beautiful Masonic Charm.

James Callan of Washington avenue, who, with his wife, left to-day for Scot land for a visit of a few months, en- joys the distinction of having more sons in the Masonic order than any oth- CT man in the country, so far as any body here knows. Mir Callan has five sons in Harmony lodge. and so far as known the nearest anybody comes to this is somebody from out of town who has four boys in the order No wonder the lodge held "Calan Night" prior to Mir Callan's trip to the old country. The Callan boys are all good citizens, well liked in the neighborhood where they live and popular where they are en- plOyed, but even at that none of them has yet reached the spot which their father holds in the hearts of those who know him intimately. He has been foreman at Holmes, Booth & Haydens for thirty years and when 1t was learn- ed that he was to be absent for the summer the hands got together and made him present of beautiful Ma sonic charm. While repairs were be- ing made in the factory Mir Callan had charge of gang of nfen on the street department and those who worked un- der him say he was the best boss they ever had.
