Tory I expect to see moat of the large Industrial corporation* controlled by the workmen, who have thus secured the ownership of the common stock at a low price and under favorable cir- cumstances, When this era is reached the pre- ferred stock will be in the nature of a loan on irfclch no dividends will be paid unless the busi- ness earns them. In other words, the preferred *tpck will represent capital, and not debt, and th* capital will be at the risk of the business. Common stock, on the other hand, will repre- sent the control of the property and will very properly find itself in the hands of the executive officers and of the workmen, who actually con- duct the business. When times are good the workmen will thus share in the prosperity. When times are bad the capitalist will have to go •p-lthout h!s dividends upon the preferred stock, There will be no conflict between capital and labor when this beneficent system shall have developed into the general ownership which I expect to see as soon as the working classes of this country are sufficiently educated to take advantage of this new and favorable situation. TRADES UNIONS MIGHT CONTROL. I am somewhat surprised that so intelligent a mas as Mr. Mitchell has shown himself to be f.as not already used the funds at his command to secure the control of one of the great coal companies, some of which are organized on the basis cf preferred and common stock above de- scribed. I have no doubt that he will sooner or later adopt this policy, and be and his associates trill then be able to understand what the diffl- cultJes are in conducting large mining operations, and if they be as profitable as he thinks they will be able to secure these profits fcr the mem- bers of the trades unions which he represents with so much ability. — If I am right in these views It is evident that tie nostrums proposed by Mr. Bryan for the regulation of trusts are quack remedies. They are not founded upon knowledge, but spring frcia an entire misconception of the nature of the problem and of the trend of modern progress. The great corporations which have sprung into existence within the last ten years are due to an evolution which ro more can be arrested than the flow of the rides. They are not injurious to the community or tc the working classes. They give mo.-4 steady employment and a greater de- mand for labor. The wages have been raised, and the price of the commodities produced have been lessened. All classes of the community tare been benefited by their growth, except such as have been disabled for a time, only to re- appear in the form of consolidated organizations mere profitable and more advantageous to the cosantmlty. It does not follow from what I have said that these great corporations do not need regulation. They have developed evils, which can readily be corrected by proper legislation, but the or- ganizations themselves cannot be abolished without injury to the growing interests of the American people. The limits of this letter do net admit of going Into any detail as to the legislation required, but, in a general way. i: may be said that the taking out of a charter ought to Involve inspection, supervision and publicity In the same manner and by the Game agencies as we now regulate banks and insur- ance companies. This can be done by the gen- eral Government without depriving the States of the power of supervision of local corpo- rations. I repeat. In conclusion, that the right of as- coclation is the most important possession of the workmen of this country. and Ishall be very much astonished when the matter is properly brought to their notice If Mr. Bryan's views and cdvice shall recei\ - e their support in the coming «-l<=-ctlon. The future is full of promise for the j" reductive interests of the country, but the elec- tion of Bryan on a platform which is at war with thp principles of Democracy would destroy the confidence which now prevails and abso- lutely arrest the progress toward industrial and commercial supremacy now possible and rapidly approaching for the United States in the mar- kets of the world. Very truly yours, ABRAM S. HEWITT. These conflicting statements and conjectures were being made and the mysterious interest of the Chigi Botticelli was being considerably deepened fn r the general public while Count Plunkett's monograph on Sandro Botticelli, pub- lished In London in the present year, was wait- ing, unnoticed, but ready to afford the follow- ing account of the affair: About a year ago the Botticelli "Madonna" in the Chigi Gallery, long celebrated and disputed about, became the o^ntro of a small sensation in the world of art. At that time Prince Chipi. hav- ing let it be known that he was willing to sell the famous "Madonna," which few critics had hesi- tated to ascribe to Sandro Botticelli, received an offer of ,<3".,000 from some foreign collector, whose namp has not been published. Upon this offer other? followed, somewhat after the fashion of an auction, only without its publicity. At last the picture was sold for $63,000 (thY exact amount of the fine imposed two days asro upon the Prince)— to an agent of the Rothschilds, re- port said at the time. In accordance with the Italian law, th» purchaser's card, with a decla- ration of purchase, was banded to the Minister of Public Instruction, but while these prescrip- tive formalities were being observed th- picture itse'.f disappeared. It ha? Fin"- re i the collection of Mr?. J. L. Gardner. This Is. in substance. Count Plunkett's story of the disappearance, in the light of which the sn'utlor of tho problem of the present where- abouts of th« cr.lv P.otti^ei:; known to have been In the Chigi collection should not be far to seek. The picture referred to by Count Plunkett and that owned by Mr. Widener are not the same. The former contains no figure of St. Joseph. The law under which Prinze Chigi has been convicted, and. Jointly with his purchaser, mulcted to the full amount of the pur- chase money. Is that by which the sale of "antiquities" (u?ing the term in a classic sense) Is r- : those parts of Italy which were the Papal SI mber, 1870. This law, known as the Pacca Edict, afur the Cardinal who first devised it. is. a relic of Papal rule, which the Italian Government has been in no hurry to abolish. It provides for the granting of permits to sell outside of the Papal States "antiquities" falling under the description of "precious, " which description has been defined by the Roman Court of Appeals as meaning "of exceptional value." the export duty exacted as a condition antecedent to the granting of the permit being 20 per cent. The Chigri sale was, by all accounts, completed and the picture sent abroad without any such permit, and in this probably lies the gravamen of the offence for which Prince Chigi now has to suffer. The Pacca Edict was. In substance, embodied In an met paesed by the Italian Parliament In 1871. The conviction of Prince Chi# on the charge of unlawfully selling out of Italy a valuable work of art ha? given rise to a degree of mysti- fication which would hardly have been supposed roasible in regard to a picture so famous as the -Madonna" of Botticelli, long reckoned among the chief jelorioe of the Chigi Gallery at Home. The first telegraphic announcement of the conviction carr.e to this country a few days ago without any particulars of the transaction by which the distinguished culprit had incurred the penalties of the law. N ext appeared In "The Philadelphia Record" a brief interview with P. A. B. W.dener. the Rotticelli amateur of Philadelphia, in which he expressed his opinion that the "Madonna" sold by Prince Chigi in contravention of Italian law was not that which he (Mr. Widened had recently purchased in London, which includes, be it noted, a figure of St. Joseph, and which, its possessor is made to sr.y, "|« the only one in the United States." Mr. Wldener Is quoted in the same interview to the effect that Prince Chlgi's customer was probably Agnew. the well known London dealer. A later cable dispatch from Rome, telling that the punishment of the offending Prince had been fixed at a fine of 315,000 lire ($6&G00), Inci- dentally states that the Botticelli "is now In London," while "The New-York Times" of yes- terday, apparently unaware of Mr. Widener"s statement, appends to its publication of the same t?le«rram a corrective footnote to the effect that the purchaser in the case was P. A. B. Wldener. PRINCE CHIGT LOSES BOTH PICTURE AND PURCHASE MONEY. AND -MADONNA" DISAPPEARS. A BOTTICELLI MYSTERY. HE PRESENTED THE NEW RELIGTOT'S HALL. TO COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. It waa learned yesterday that the giver of Earl Hall, which 1« to b« the centre of the religious activity of Columbia University and under the con- trol of the Young- Men's Christian Association, la William Earl Dodge, whose gifts to Christian as- sociation work have been large. Work <^n the new university chapel may begin soon. Taking the east WILLIAM EARL DODGE THE GITER. the collection w&e to be delivered in Rome, and the Metropolitan Museum should get It out of Italy as best might be. "He said I might have all the time I wanted to pay the purchase money," said the General, "but I told him that I wouldn't take his collec- tion on those terms If he would sell it for one million. " As to the equity of the Pacca Edict and almi- lar enactments when they first came into force, th»re seems to be something to be said in their favor, as well as ag-ainst them. Several of the great Roman families, such as the Chlgi, Borphesi. Masslmi. Colonne and one or two others, reckon among their lineage, direct or collateral, many Popes and still more Cardinals, and it has been argued, with some show of rea- son, that many of the art treasures of the great palazzi came there by the exercise of official power ag-ainst the strict rights of the public. Thus, even apart from the wider sen=e in which the works of the great masters are regarded as the heirlooms of Italy, there may weil be some serious doubt as to the right of these heirs of mediaeval despotism to sell their historic collec- tions as they would sell furniture nr bric-a-brac purchased at a last year's sale. Owners of gTeat works of art in Italy can hardly complain if, while they share the distinction of ownership with the great families, they are oblige'] to share their restrictions, for every law must work hardship to a minority. The more Just ground of complaint seems to be that the Italian Govern- ment plays the dog in the manger in prevent- ing owners from selling th^tf- work? of art abroad when It remains I«*p<v9slble to seH those works to the nation.

Sir: I ask the courtesy- of space in your paper that 1 .-.ay deny a statement that has appeared In sesT o* the newspapers to the effect that I shall vote for and support McKlnley and Roosevelt, and to ex;.lain my position in regard to the action of the Social Democratic party in asking me to de- cline .-_• nomination for Attorney-General. Is March 1900. I wrote an open letter to Mr. Bryai:. Btatlng that I could no longer support him on account of his attitude or. various Important QOestto&i, aofl declaring that I favored the Social Democratic party. This party, without my solici- tation, did me the honor to nominate me for At- torrey-GeneraJ last June, and I accepted. Early in the fail I desired to make public my views on the question of expansion, which views did not epre* with rrv party, and to enow the vast supe- riority of the Republican over the Democratic party and the disaster that would Inevitably fol- Icw Mr Bryan's election. Fearing that the expression of these views would not be thought consistent with my candidacy, al- though I kr.ew that they were nrft entirely antago- nistic. I ee-t word to my part] offering to with- draw, fc'jt I was asked by it to remain on the ticket, and I did bo. Ithen gave public expres- p:or.s cf my views from time to time, and did not heslta'.e to applaud freely the Republican party ar.c :o show the errors and weaknes=9»9 of Mr. J-rvar's economics, believing that I was under no restraint and that It was my duty to tell the plain truth. I had not deserted my party, had not de- clared for any other party, and had nothing but good words fof our principles, party and ticket. My articles, however, conveyed the id«?a to some that I hed suiSer.ly changed my views and that I was a Republican, and naturally the State Committee of my partr was requested by these persons to ask si for an explanation. The committee decided to accept my resignation, which it did. I am still morally committed to Eupport the party, and I have in r.o wp.y intimated that I would sur^rt any ether party. I canr.ot conscientiously support m: friend Mr. Bryan, however much I admire him, and my first irf'.ir.stlon was to remain silent and not vote at all. I am placed -. an extremely embarrassing po- Firion My reason urges me to vote for McKJnley, By heart 'for Brvan and political duty for Debs. McKinley certainly has the logical side of all the prest c'Je«t!oi;s Bryan the humane and Illogical arr2 D«^-i= the Idealistic though, perhaps. Impracti- cal. If I thoupht there was any danger of Mr. Brvan b*=insr elected I might feel It my duty to support McKir.ley. hut McKinley's election beln? EFFur^d, I can s<^*» no oth»>r course for me than to rapport the ticket of the Social Democracy. EUGENE V. BP.EWSTER. Brooklyn. Oct. \u25a0 1900. EUGENE V.

How seldom does one see the old principles of klr.4re£9. thoughtfu'.ness, the desire to bear others' burdens and the rest that were inculcated in the «>j:y books and contemporaneous literature, made the working methods of real life! And how beau- tifulit Is when one does see It! There Is probably not a dramatic critic in this whole land who has not been touched beyond ex- pression within the last tew dnys by the considerate attention which an actress has given to the dangers o* the profession. It often" makes a dramatic critic tre-mWe to think of his own Intrepidity In under- taking the perils of his calling. Those which read- ers of the comic papers know, the dangers from enraged managers and actors, are but a small part of them. An expert office boy can deal with half of those, and one or two porters in good training with the rest. But what <\u25a0• \u25a0-\u25a0\u25a0 danger of being suddenly overcome by a new play, which the critics have to «« sometimes even before it is tried on the lr.hatr.tf.nte of places like Scranton and Stamford? And ex-en if th« play has no visible instantaneous effect, may it not Inflict internal injuries which *111 develop into dangers before they are suspected?

But the policies are just as good for critic* he are Injured by other plays than hers; >**. or by cable ears or street excavations or ice *^gor.s. And even if conscience were the only Prompter, it Is a notable fact that no actor before *ver had such a conscience, and there were always Henty who needed it quite as much as this par- ticular actress. It was a noble and beautiful thought of hers. These little policies will be to the wacl* dramatic profession what the Red Cross and west axis of the present Library Building of Columbia. Earl Hall is to stand on the west end of the east and west axis of the Columbia Library, and the chapel on the east end. The architecture of the new buildings will resemble that of the library. The material of Earl Hall will be what is known locally as Columbia College brick, with limestone trimmings. The base will be granite. The ground floor will contain offices, study, women's recep- tion room, special social and dressing room and livingapartments for the person in charge. On the first floor there will be a reception room, a read- ing room, the secretary's office, a committee room, a Bible study room and a small hall at the rear. The second floor will have a reference li- brary, a small hall, a lobby and an auditorium im- mediately beneath the dome. The auditorium will be fifty-two feet square and will be planned to seat about five hundred persons. The association build- ing will cost about JIOO.OOO and the chapel about MMM. The Rev. Dr. Van De Water, chaplain of the university, said yesterday that he was gratified at the prospect of having an association but Ulna", but that it did not lessen the need for the chapel. There was a steadily increasing spiritual work among the students. <"'hajwl services »<-<"<• better attended this fall than ever for*. The export duty on these "antiquities" varies in different parts of Italy, generally following the provisions made in the different political di- visions before the era of unification. The hardship of the Italian law In this respect, it seems, does not by any means end with the exaction of export duties. It does not seem at all certain, according to General dl Cesnola's view of the subject, that the required permis- sion would have been granted to Prince Chlgi, even if be had dutifully approached the Minister of Public Instruction with one-fifth of his sixty odd thousand dollars. "Stat pro ratione voluntas mea" was the quotation which General di Ces- nola thought applicable in discussing the sub- ject. The Italian Government, in his view, holds Itself perfectly at liberty to forbid absolutely the exportation of any work of art which it may prefer should remain in Italy. As showing the strength of his convictions on this point, he re- called his own experience of a few years ago, when Prince Borghese offered to him, as repre- sentative of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the famous Borghese-Torlonia collection for $8,000,000.
