FRENCH ART SHOWN
Work of Modern Masters at
Corcoran Gallery.
CANVASES 49 IN NUMBER
Paintings of Several Of the Great
Impressionists Included.
TO CONTINUE UNTIL MARCH 5
Exhibition Open Mondays From
Noon to O'Clock, Other
Week Days 9 to 4.

The exhibition of paintings by the mas
ters of the modern French school, which
opened today IN the Corcoran Gallery of
Art, is of extraordinary interest. No
country has done more 10 foster art than
France and in modern times none has
exected a stronger influence. Whether or
not one IS IN sympathy with the so-called
"impressionism." all must admit that it
has been a potent factor in the develop
ment of art. Impressionism threw open
the windows of vision and let In the sum
light. 1t delivered art from a chronic
dullness into which it had fallen and
gave 1t sprightliness and renewed life.
Therefore, though some may have EN-.
ployed the liberty 1t gave as license. still
it cannot be put aside with a word, and
the works of those who were foremost
among its opponents must be regarded
with interest and respect.
The collection Of forty-nine canvases,
now on view in the Corcoran Gallery,
comprises some of the best paintings OF
the great fmpressionists. SUCH az Manet,
Monet. Sisley, Renior, Iissarro and their
colleagues. A number of the paintings set
forth are cited as specially notable ex-
amples and illustrated in Mauclairs book
ON 1.-THE French Impressionlsts," which
is considered an authority. Outside of
Paris and New York such an exhibition
could rarely be seen.
And, what Is more. the exhibition Is
made specially valuable by containing
early as we'll as recent works, go that
the development Of each painter. as well
as the school, may DO readily traced. For
this reason, however, some may be In
clired to think that much OF the work
shown is not ;Inpressionistic, essociating
the word with the more extreme style of
the later day painters and forgetting that
impressionism was in reality an evolution
and not revolt.

Works Show Vitality.

And yet the result is less ultra than one
the indifference to craftsmanship display
ed in the later works of some of tins
great impressionists, one cannot but adj
nit that these works, despite this weak
ness, are more vital and real than those
in which better drawing was found.

no more the same.
1t is in this later manner that Childe
Hassam. the leading American exponent
of impressionism, paints. To the painters
of such pictures a better name than Inn

now called 'luminists.' which is infinitely

History of the Movement.

The history Of the movement Is inter
esting. In 1863, Mauclair tells us, the
works of Manet and his friends, which
had caused some stir, were rejected en-
bloc by the salon jury. The emperor de-
manded, however that these innovators
should at leas. have the right to exhibit
together in a special room. which was
called the "Salon des Refuses" or the

The legal contest before the Su-
preme court of the United States over
the question of whether corner Of
the cotton market is a violation of

when Solicitor General Lehman filed

ITALY FREES TURK SLAVES
Proclamation Is Issued suppressing
Slavery In TripoII.

Rome.-The Italian authorities at
Tripoh issued a proclamation sup
pressing slavery. Tripoli was the
only remaining port on the coast of
A%frica where slavery still prevailed,
notwithstanding the efforts of Great
Britain on the one side and France
on the other to prevent the traffic.
General Spingardi, the minister of
war, went to Naples to supervise in
conjunction with Duke of Aosta the
organization of the troops for the ex-
petition
Advices from Tripoli say that the
groups of Turkish soldiers are COM

by the garrison with Mauser rifles
landed by the steamer Derna, are now
gradually returning to Tripoli and Of
fering their submission. Their only
condition is that the Italian comman-
der purchase their rifles for a few
francs. which seems to show that not
only are the Arabs-those at least in
the vicinity OF Trlpoll-not ready 10
fight for Turkey, but also that a con-
dition Of starvation prevails among
the natives. More than 10000 of these,
it is reported, will soon be forced
by hunger to return to the town.
Rome-Official dispatches received
here says:

BEARS FEAR FROST
BAD WEATHER WOULD LOOSEN
THE SELLING SPECTATORS
GRIP ON COTTON.
CROP 90 PER CENT. OPEN
What the Trade Fears Most Is Frost,
Though Rain Would Do More
Damage.

New Orleans. The weather will be
the thing most watched in the cot
ton market. On the close of last
week there were signs that the pro-
tracted spell of favorable weather
that the cotton country has been en-
joying was about to break up. If
the signs prove correct the market
will become unsettled and the grip
of the bears will be loosened to some
extent.
What the trade fears most is frost,
although this fear is more sentimen-
tai than anything else. While frost
at an early date would destroy all
chances of top crop over the more
northern sections of the belt, it must
be remembered that top crop is only
an accident at best lin those sections
and that frost at the average date
generally destroys all hopes of it's ma
turing. Over the larger part of the
belt the crop is so far advanced that
there is little hope for frost to injure.
Crop experts say that 80 per cent. of
the crop is OPEN
More actual harm would probably
result from rains than from cold
weather, for the simple reason that
the fields are white with open cotton,
N honor of strenuous efforts to gather
it. Rain on this open cotton would
greatly injure sthe grade and thereby
cost the farmers of the South mil
lions, but either rain or colder wealth
er will advance prices this week.

BITTER CAPT. GREEN COMPLAINS
OF MISS MACFARLANE'S ACTS

the first on the bridge to greet the
master. She threw her arms about
his neck and seemed to hold a great
affection for him. At the same time
the captain since declared. his fiancee
told him that the wedding could never
take place.
Naturally Captain Greene was
greatly disappointed continued the
colonel. "He refrained from speaking
of the AFFAIR because he disliked the
comment that might ensue. When he
sailed yesterday for the Orient he said
that he no longer cared who knew
the story. He wished that II be kept

clared Mrs. Grimes, I'VE must say
that Captain Greene has not stated

The brother added that the personal
reasons Of Miss Maciarlane did not

might he another suitor In the case.
The mother expressed the belief that
Captain Greene might not have had as
much money as $4,000 and the GER
tainty that he never had 10000 TO be
used as bridal gift. She laughed
when the surmise was preached that
the captains alleged presents to Miss
Macfarlane might have come from the
proceeds of the life insurance of the
captains first wife, but refused to
make any comment.

without the pleasant duty of being
