TTJBN THE TIGER OUT. FOUND ANOTHER BODY. speed, when ten shots were fired from a 5 lnch gun in one minute, and eight shots from a 6 Inch gun in a minute. Some attempt was made a few years ago to employ fixed ammunition for rapid fire guns, but it was abandoned as not practicable. The projectiles for a 5 inch gun are so heavy and large that more time is involved in nandling them in fixed form than individually: Then, again, a clip of shells for a gun of this size is too bulky and awkward for practical purposes.

A special report received at 'the Treasury Department to day from Captain W. H. Roberts of revenue cutter Manning, tells A Long sf a remarkably long Cruise or the cruise just completed by that vessel. The Manning. Manning left New York January 8 of this year and was continually on the go until the middle of October, and during the nine months she steamed a distance of 29,403 miles.

This is a record for anjf vessel of this service. The Manning is now at Port Townsend, Washington, where she Is to undergo some cleaning and repairs. A. B. A.

u.AYJsa,iiuwvu FINE ARTS. The New York Water Color Club has openei its eleventh annual show at the Fine Arts Galleries, on West Fifty seventh street. its most enthusiastic members will admit that it is not an exhibition that is.going to startle the town, but those who are not members will admit with, equal readiness that it is a well arranged and pleasant little performance, and deserves to be sympathetically viewed by the public. There are about 400 pictures, mostly little ones, and the main gallery is not used. The west gallery Is, rather oddly, given up to nearly eighty pictures by George H.

Clements, all of about the same size, all of the same price, all rather monotonously similar in treatment and color scheme. Mr. Clements is a resident of Flushing, and has taken several of his themes from Long Island, which is of no disadvantages to him or his art; but his shpw one with a belief that if he had spent as much time over some one ot his pictures as ho must have spent on a the one "Would have been more beautiful and interesting. He has facility, and he is not without clever ness, but much of his work has a hasty and shoppy aspect. A similar objection lies against several other of the pictures, for more than one contribution looks as if it had been sent in simply because the artist had been expected to contribute.

The impression made in a rapid survey of the whole exhibition is that it is the work of youth, and youth is not always expert. In several of the pictures there is a willingness to put color effects, even when they are accidents, before technical soundness, and the drawing is often what it should not be. Some of the young men have gone In for out and out impressionism, and that is a form of art that covers a multitude of defects when It does not uncover them. That there is charm in much, of the color is conceded; that the poster devices in fiat tints are ingenious and even admirable is likewise granted; but the fact is still la evidence that some of the artists need to go back to school. Among the painters who especially deserve praise are F.

Bollard Williams, who piits a fresh and airy quality Into his work; Charles Warren Eaton, who Is a most industrious man, but who is always poetic In his landscape; Konrad Starke, who has a lairge and assertive fashion of painting; Maurice Prendergast, whose groups of people on beaches and in parks rival those of Childe Hassam for glitter and variety, but would be trying things to look at for more than a week; Walter Palmer, whose lake view Is delightful, in spite of the thinness of the painting; A. M. Belville, whose "Autumn" Is a true and pleasant bit; Sophie Mitchell and a round dozen or more of other young women, who paint flowers and bric a brac with looser and better filled brushes than they used to handle; A. T. Van Laer, whose "Plowing" is a decided step In jaS vance, and whose animals suggest those of Walker; Albert Herter's decorative panel, which shows a graceful woman gliding through a "Garden of Dreams," and Harvey Ellis, Louise Stowell, Charles L.

Bull and one or two others, who have imported the French poster fashion into their work, and this fashion in turn is an adaptation from the Japanese. A group of pleasantly painted miniatures attests Increasing skill in this department, and Sarah C. Sears, who has done more Important things, is not discredited by her group of flower paintings. Genjirb Yeto'who is a contributor, does not please iis so vfell with his Americanized subjects and manner as he does in art that observes the trad jtipns of his own land. There is a picture looking over the tinted roofs of Provincetown, by Francis T.

Stockweli, that is artistic and attractive, and a Dutch peasant Is drawn with sympathy by Marcia Oakes Woodbury. The award of a medal to a Dutch picture by Clara T. is not quite accountable, especially as this artist has so often done better, albeit this is an agreeable and carefully painted group. The moonlight and the tinted drawing of a figure by Elmer McRae are commendable, and the vague landscapes of Charles Austin Need ham are interesting. The Lafarge paintings from the Pacific islands are a come down from the standard of that artist, but possibly he did not wish to he too forceful and serious In his young company.

The Art Students' League has received from the department of education and fine arts of France a request for the exhibit of the league shown In the Paris Exposition, that they may place it in the collection methods of art education, which Is con trol of the ministry. This exhibit comprises drawings from cast and life, paintings from life, portrait studies, sKetcnes rrom tne dra ned model for illustration, compositions for illustration, photographs of plaster and clay studies from life and compositions ty the life class. The object of the league, In sending the collection to Paris has been nlnnrl Tt was felt that an effort should be made to show that work done here compared favorably with that of schools abroad. Th group has already gained a gold medal. Ths league classes this year are larger than ever.

At its meeting on Wednesday a number of pencil studies were shown by Kenyon Cox. An exhibition of water colors by Coli Campbell Cooper and Emma Lampert Cooper was made yesterday at the residence ot ex Senator Charles H. Russell on Paciflo street. The sketches, studies and drawings tr Edwin Howland Blashfleld at Prtt Institute will continue on exhibition during the month. They repay study and are of especial value and Interest to students of the arts.

The right to use the house is obtainable only through Park Commissioner Moebus ot tho Bronx. The now Roman Catholic Church of St. Jerome, Alexander avenue and One Hundred and Thirty eighth street, which was dedicated a few days ago by Archbishop Corrigan, Is said to be one of the handsomest churches In the country.

It will mousuro 25 by about 50 feet and will be 35 feet high. Tales of How the Fight Was Won and Lost by Washington Arrivals. NO ANTI AMERICAN ALLIANCE. Tupper's Defeat and the Alaskan Boundary Long Cruise of the Cutter Manning Eagle. Bureau, 608 Fourteenth.

Street. Washington, November 9 Now that the big political battle Is over, stragglers are coming Into Washington with tales low the fight was won and lost. The Republicans are' naturally bright and cheerful, and while settling down to. another four years ot federal control predict the permanent retirement of Bryan and his numerous isms. It is remarkable to what extent the great body of Democrats agree with the Eepublicans in the latter proposition.

Many bitter criticisms are being passed on the Nebraskan by his late political associates, and he is openly charged with being the wrecker of the Democratic party as well as of the political career of many a young Democrat. More than one Democratic candidate who went down to defeat on Tuesday last holds Bryan directly responsible for the disaster, and there is no question that with Bryan out of last Tuesday's flght the results in many a voting district would have told a different story. This is especially true of the conditions in localities where sound" money Democrats were running for office. Men who would have won with comparative ease had they not been handicapped by Bryan and the Chicago platform, were defeated in districts that in ordinary times would give Democratic majorities. The feeling toward Bryan on the part of those Democrats who have had their political careers cut short by the dominance of the Nebraska free silverite, Is naturally very bitter, and It is sate to say that it would be a hard thing for him to secure a vote of confidence from his late allies.

In view these facts one hears much talk here about the prospects of the organization of a new party out of the wreck left by Bryan. The sentiments of Don M. Dickinson, William C. Whitney and other stalwarts of the old stripe are being indorsed very generally by free thinking Democrats in this city. There are those who believe, however, that the Democratic party has suffered the permanent loss of many votes which hav.e been driven over to the Republicans as a result of the long grip that Bryan has had on the machine.

A Virginia Democrat of high standing informed the Eagle: correspondent to day, that he firmly believed that a large number of his associates who this year voted for McKinley would never return to the old party. "Of course I cannot tell," he said, "what will be the effect of four years of education, butjudging from the present feelings of certain Virginia Democrats I should say that they would always support the Republican candidate In the future. It Is a noteworthy fact that I find little enthusiasm among them over the talk of a reorganization of the Democratic party with Bryanism left out. They are more inclined to look at politics from a business point of view and vote as they think their Interests dictate. There was not much, doubt among them on Teusday as to which, candidate offered them the better oportunities, and McKinley got a surprisingly large number of.

Bemocra tic votes' In the cities of Virginia." There are some old time Democrats here who think that the" task of shelving Bryan will not be so easy as many appear to believe now with the bitter taste of Tuesday's defeat still lingering on their palates. They say that the Nebraskan's love for popular recognition, and his clamoring desire to pose as the friend and champion of the oppressed will keep him to the front as long as he Will be tolerated there. These men, there tore, think that it he is to be frozen out of the party, the freezing out process must begin at once. The old time leaders in the party, men. who have almost, dropped from sight in the past four years, are looked to to begin the work of reclaiming the party.

Despite the statements of certain European papers, there are no signs that an anti Amer ican alliance is lonn Uo Signs of Anti American Alliance. ing in the old world for the purpose of cutting short the expansion policy ot tbe United States. It is alleged that Germany and England are foremost in this combination, both of which nations are credited with fearing the growing commercial power of the United States. When a State Department official's attention was called to this matter, he said to day: "I have noticed a number of printed statements to this effect, but so far nave failed to see any tangible evidence of It. If there is any feeling hostility against us on the part of European powers, It has been very skillfully concealed.

We have no reason to complain of the official treatment accorded to ue by the nations of Europe in the recent international negotiations. There is probably ground for the charge that the'foreign manufactures are taking alarm at the way cur trade is extending into fields formerly controlled exclusively by them. But so far as I have been able to observe this fear has not influenced the diplomatic representatives those countries In their dealings with us. I may also state that there has been nothing to Indicate that any European nation is seriously disturbed by our recent territorial If there Is any. uneasiness in the European courts on this score, it has not been allowed to show itself in the official correspondence and negotiations of the past six months." Some little satisfaction was expressed in administration circles at the news from Canada stating that Sir Charles Tupper had TuprJer's Defeat been defeated in the and Canadian elections.

Charles Tupr isAlaskan Boundary, chiefly known here on account of his stubborn opposition to anything like a reasonable adjustment of the Alaskan boundary line, and much oi the bitterness aroused over that question is charged to him. He gave expression to the remark, at one time during the negotiations, that tho United States would have to arbitrate or there would be war. Every time the boundary dispute appeared to be on the eve ot sattlement Sir Charles Interposed with some unreasonable demand that killed all prospects of an adjustment. Ho the main obstacle encountered by tho High Joint Commission In Its efforts to solve this problem and his stubborn Insistence on Oie adoption of his particular views caused the abandonment of the whole discission by that commission. An administration official, in referring to this matter to day, said: "If the Alaskan boundary question comes up Tor discussion again, the chances for an amicable and satisfactory settlement will be good, with Sir Charles out of tho way.

It In likely that tho matter will be allowed to rest as it Is for an indefinite period, unless, something unlooked for should happen to again raise the issue. The modus vlvendl is operating as satisfactorily could be expected nutl is the best thing that we could hav secured short ol the allowance of our. full claims." Wnat is probably a new record for accurate shooting with tho army rapid fire gun was eaiuuiiBURa at a recent trial of a 5 lnch rifle at Sandy Hook. Lieutenant Hoff of the army, was making Accurate Firing New Army Gun. some experimon ts with 5 and inch rapid fire guns, during which it waa decided to see how fast a number of accurate shots could be made.

A target 20 by 30 feet in size was orectcd at a distance of 1,600 yards from the firing lino, only a couple of hundred yards short of a mile. Ten shots wore fired from a 5 Inch gun. Eyery shot struck tho target within a narrow field about the bull's eye. One projectile struck the ground somo distance In advance ot the target, but being a perfect line shot, it ri cochetted directly through tho target. The tlmo required in tho ten shells was just two.

minutes and five seconds, which I believe Is the best recr rd mndo for accurate firing with a gun of this size. Of course much better time oould have been made had there been no attempt at accurate fire, but tho gun was nfter each shot. When It Is considered that loose ammunition was employed in test, tho record is very fine. Some trials' were also made with random 'firing' for BISHOP DERRICK'S WELCOME.
