police the man who was slain had used
profanity in the presence of women

the public eye. At one time. in 1917. he
made a spectacular trip to the Pacific

Presidential candidate. He formerly
was Republican National Committeeman.

Of the dangers Of foreign sojourn for an

that he is not losing anything OF his
grip upon landscape but rather is gain

OF that inestimable and priceless back
ground of native poetry-without which
landscape Is but a hollow sham--is per-
missible to the painter who makes an
exile of himself. Certainly In the long
procession of clever foreigners who come
here to make their fortunes by painting
our landscape few succeed In penetrating
below the surface.
But Mr.. Kuehne Is probably tired
himself of being an exile, since he is

WILSON MAY HEAD

Rumored That Admiral Will
Succeed Rear Admiral Scales
in Course of Early Summer.

Special Despatch to THE Ngw YoaK HmALD.
ANNAPoLIs, May 14.-Events OF Inn
portance have taken place at the Naval
Academy this week, the first being the
resembling OF Secretary Denby's order
for the advanced graduation of the sec
reports that Rear Admiral A. II. Scales.
superintendent of the Naval Academy.
would be relieved OF that duty In course
OF the carly summer and succeeded by
Admiral Henry B. Wilson. who is short
" to relinquish the command OF the
Atlantic fleet
Secretary Denby's action In withdraw
ing his order for the graduation OF the
second class in December instead OF
juno meets with general favor. The
more practical members OF the class be-
lieve that they will be much better
equipped and more able to perform their
duties as junior officers by completing
the course. On the cruise and from the
resumption OF the academic session on
October until June, 1892, the members
OF this class will perform the duties OF
nidshipmen officers and have their first
real experience In command and leader
ship. They would have missed nearly
all of this II graduation had taken place
In December.
Reports that Admiral Wilson would
succeed Rear Admiral Scales as superin-
tendent are arousing interest a new
superintendent Is generally assigned
during the summer. as the academic
year opens about october 1, and 1t is not
well to make the change during that
period. Several months ago when Ad-
miral Scales was dealing with one or the
recurrent outbreaks OF hazing the rumor
of his removal took shape.
Criticlsms OF the academic administra-
tion In connection with the failure OF
number of midshipmen upon reexamina-
ton are based upon misapprehensions.
The system of giving those who failed
In the semi-annual examination a re-
examination after some weeks OF spe-
cial instruction was put into effect FOR
the first time this year. and has worked
well. tho percentage of failures being
smaller than for several years.
The number found deficient In the
seml-annual examinations was 2S6. and
176 of these passed and were continued
with their classes after special instruc-
ton and upon reexamination.
II is stated officially that at least one
extra battleship VIII join the fleet which
VIII carry tho midshtpmen on tneir
summer cruise, and the midshipmen OF
the present second class will go on the
European cruise with those OF the pres
ent third and fourth. All these classes
will be advanced a number after the
graduation OF the present first class, on
juno 8.
After June the Naval Academy re-
sumes its pre-war routine. Tho three
upper classes will be on the summer
cruise. and the new fourth class will be
in its initial stages.

This experiment by the Studio Is so
successful and so interesting that 1t Is
to be hoped IL may become a custom in
the future: particularly II the alphabet
cal hanging system persists at the Inde-
pendent exhibitions.
Tho Schultheis Galleries. on Fulton
street, near the great financial district
of tho city. are giving an exhibition Of
marine paintings by c. r. Patterson.
Mr.. Patterson Is one who knows whereof
he paints, for he has gone down to the
sea in ships and sailed far seas. There
are always special dispensations TO be
made in favor of those who paint the
subject they are thoroughly In love with.
and Mr.. Patterson gets all the benefit Of
this. His pictures OF ships at dock or
breasting heavy seas in tho South Pa
cific are all that old sailors could wish
In the way OF correctness Of sails, OF
block, tackle, &C., and besides that every
picture seems to have sprung itself from
some romantic adventure. There are
plenty In Wall street who have sailed
the seas before settling down to a steady
course of money grabbing, and many OF
these have already discovered Mr.. Pat
u
terson's little exhibition.
In the Dudensing Galleries there are
two little exhibitions OF works by artists
who have not previously shown here.
Mr.. Cecil Bone and Mr.. A. L. Musgrave.
Mr. Bone works in pastel. and has at
his command excellent color and a sense
OF design. In certain studies, such as
tho winter Day." in which village
street is depicted. he achieves COM
mendable style. Mr.. Musgrave. who has
been working at landscape near WASH
ington, D. c., Is generally decorative.
He, too, commands pleasant color.
Carl Schmitt. who studied at the Ma
tional Academy and also at Florence,
italy, is exhibiting In the Babcock Cal
leries. He Is very sure in his method
which leads him at times into a clear,
cold literalness. but his color is good
and his decorations are pleasing. He
has found picturesque old mill some
where and has managed to abstract a
number of agreeable studies from 1t.
