HOSTILITY TO HOME RULE
GETS FIERCER IN ENGLAND

[By f'aN* to The Tribun' I
London. Jan. 20.- The approach <>f the
jay of the opening of Parliament hi
be.in? heralded by an outbreak of tierce
Unionist hostility to Home Rulo. Mass
meetings in opposition to an Irish Par?
liament will he tald early next week in
Liverpool. Chester and twenty other j
cities snd towns in Lancashire and
Cheshire, where Protestant feeling runs
high There will be a full muster of
Unionist speakers, and the ataquith
tVMlltkn with the Redmondltes will ho
Singl*V? out for attack.
Mr. Bonar-Law Is leaving the conduct ?
of this active skirmishing to Austen
Chamberlain. George Wynihar... F. K
Fmith and ?.?her lieutenants, and holds
himself in reson? for a great meeting
to be held in the Albert Hall at the end
of the week. Sir Edward Carson mean?
while has heated up Ulster to a state of
frenzy that la fraught with the menace
of civil war.
Unionists have wisely dtscided to stop
talking about the insurance act and con?
centrate their fighting energies upon the
Irish question. Mr. Balfour alone Is In
retirement abroad, and th? best Unionist
speakers in both houses of Parliament
?re lit the field, the ronflrlence being gen?
erally expressed that the ministry .an
he overthrown t'iis year.
The fortunes of the government are
temporarily held In commission while
ministers are recovering their health In
Blcilv, the Riviera and the Alps under
more genial conditions than '.he present
detestable English weather. The chief
Liberal whip has warned- them that no
more speeches on the suffrage question
must be made after the approaching Al?
bert Hall meetings.
Differences in the Cabinet.
Winston Churchill's decision to speak
In Belfast on the same platform with
John Redmond and Joseph Devlin was
taken, so rumor runs, with the Prime
\ Minister's consent, hut not with the ap
* preval of the Chief Se? retary for Ireland,
and it has been o.-i?lemned by timorous
Liberals as needlessly provocative. If
it becomes necessary to proclam the
meeting or transfer It from Belfast to
Dublin there will be undeniable ad?
vantages In being ahle to denounce
Unionist? for refusing freedom of speech
and instigating lawlessness. Not only
so, bal Clster will have proved in ad?
vance that it will not have Home Rule
on any terms.
Reports received by the chief whip
lrom Liberal agents In the provinces
are in^st disquieting on the Home Rule
and insurance Issues. There Is urgent
need et u restoration of unity and confi?
dence ?rrfeng the coalition groups, yet
the intrigues of the Radicals against Sir
Edwaid ?,/oy continue with increased
bitterness, and an amendment to th"
Address expressing disapproval of his
PersiHii policy is likely to receive strong
support. The cabal has enlisted th. .-? i -
vt.*es in the Radical press of Alfred <;.
(Jardiner and H. W. Masslngham. who,
In demanding that "Sir Kdward Grey
must g<>." are making as much nois<- ,.s
the anti-Balfourlte agitators of a few
months ago.
TI i ? coalition which triumphed over
the House of Lords now needs lb*
?tronar hand of the Prime Minister. It
may break up within a tarn weeks as a
consequence of ftactlon feted** and la?k
of enthusiasm for the ministerial pro?
gramme. Stalwart Radicals assert.
however, that everything will go right
?Ahen the Chancellor of the Exchequer
resumes his Gladstonlan breakfast in
Dqwning Street next week and reports

Peking. Jan. JO.?The abdication of the

Yuan Shih-kai has h?cn actuated by
three motive? loyalty to the Emperor,
desire to prevent his country's disrup?
tion and desire to reunite the country by
fill means.
T?o told the imperial family throughout
the period of doubt that he was willing
to fight for the dynasty provided the
family would furnish the necessarv
funds, but the avaricious princes were
unwilling to risk their hoarded wealth.
The imperial family then freely chose
abdication, thus releasing Yuan from his
duty to fight for the Kmperor.

Religious Pageantry?Post-Im?

London. January *.
0-M of the indirect effects of Professor
Reinhardts production of "The Miracle"
flt Olympia is an increase of religious
toleration. A London vicar of evangeli?
cal tendencies was urged by a pair of
bigots in his congregation to denounce
the spectacle as "Romish" and "idola?
trous." but he wisely preferred to hold
his tnngn* until he had slipped into a
shilling seat and seen what it was like.
He fancied that he was In Rheime C? ?
thedral. was deeply impressed with ?he
beauty of the stage pictures, the atmos?
phere of reverence and the exquisit*
music, beheld in the Madonna the em?
bodiment of all that wae sweetest and
loveliest In womanhood, and ended by
resolving to go a second time and to
recommend the spectacle to hi? Protes?
tant congregation Xot all spectators
are squally broad minded. There are
protests In the press against holding up
Roman ceremonial to travesty and con?
tempt, and equally emphatic remon?
strances against an insidious exhibition
of Marlolatry. but. the Judgment of the
candid vicar, who went to scoff and re?
mained to pray. Is supported by a large
majority of the letter writers The bent
pr?->of of tbe essentially religious and
elevating character of the mystery pla??
?s the reverent hush of the vast multi?
tude when the worshippers and proces?
sions sweep by and the enthroned Ma?
donna, comes to Ilfv? to take the place of
the errant nun and to open the door for
tbe return of the penitent.
Objection has also been raised by
censorious critics to th* expedient of
helping out the emotionalism of the ?he
atre with the emotionalism of religion.
They assert that the author of this stu?
pendous?, miracle play has used sacred
subject?? ;md symbols for the sake of
producing sensuous effects, and therebv
has degraded both art and religion. Ap
parently these critics win attend the
coming production of "?dipus Rex" at
Covent Garden without qualms of con?
science because the subject is drawn
from classic myths and doc? not touch
the religious sensibilities of Christians.
If there was force in the eighteenth cen?
tury argument that Satan ought not to
have all the good tunes, there ought not
to be les? cogency in the plea that the
modern theatre should be allowed to
make reverent use of religion? subjects.
The dramatist in this Instance has re?
vived a thirteenth century legend of the
Snatching Of the Child from the Ma?
donna's arms and of the miracle which
followed the sacrilege. lie has trans?
figured It int.) the story of a recreant
nun. beguile?! cither in dream or in life
by the pleasurable excitement of the
world, with the Madonna coming to life
gS her substitute In the convent and re?
turning to her throne in the cathedral
when the penitent returns with a dead
child in her arms. It is a story that
thrills audiences with a sense of the
nearness of divine nature and sends them
away chsstened. purified and uplifted.
Mr. Roger Fry. an erudite critic and
daring experimenter In new art proc?
esses, has rallied the Post-Impression?
ists by an amazing exhibition of draw?
ings an I paintings in the Alpine Club
gallery. There are over fifty of these
Imitations of Matisse, Van Oogh and
OaugulB, and before any one can either
understand or admire them he must for?
get all that he has ever learned from
systematic study of the old masters.
Something Is saved from the wreckage
of the art of the past, for some of the
new work has decorative quality, and
notwithstanding the severity of the
modern cult of the ugly there are pas
I of beauty in two or three of (he
landscapes Possibly these are excep?
tions, which prove the rule that neither
?le.-oratlon nor beauty is to be considered
In the quest for new heavens and a new
earth, In which external objects shall be
-felt rather than seen. Certainly the ?till
life pi-ces are ugly enough to satisfy
the most fanatical admirer of Post-Im
praasloalsm; the portraits rival in
crudity the Matisse doll with green eyes
Of tho Graf ton chamber of horrors, and
the landscapes, with their coarse patcnes
of blue, green, red and brown and their
fantastl?- application of the laws of per?
spective to vertical linos, are startling.
Indeed, to eye? unaccustomed to the new
methods of expressing "the real horsi
r.ess of the horse" and "the rhythmic
?Igntfteanee" of nature.
Much of this advan.-ed work is unin?
telligible except to converts, who roll
th.-ir ey??s In "fino frenzy" and make
mystic passes with their hands. Mount
t'lympus, the Balkans, Brusa, Constanti?
nople, mosques, and other scene* in tho
Near East are portrayed in a much
bro.ider style than either Professor
Helmets or Mr John has adopted, and
each Is an extremist, with many va?
car?es The volume of a familiar object
is suggested by heavy masses of thick
(taint without gradation or tonality.
South Coast scenes, such as Poole Har?
bor. Bourn?mouth Bay and tho sands of
Ft'idlands are "expressed" without al?
lowance for planes or th? employment
cf any of the artlflc.es and conventions
i f composition. There are portraits
without high lights, and there are land?
scapes and marin"s with green shadows.
su>h ns a child might make with chalk
on a shingle. It is a most bewildering
fxhibltion to spectators of ordinary
training and knowledge.
Rraclng and reassuring after his con?
fused survey of tentative Poi-t-Impros
lloaiam Is an excursion to the Leicester
(?iilleries, where there is a fine collec?
tion of Sir Alfred East's drawings and
paintings. Many of them are rapid
?ketches for large works, and others are
??..lor notes and vivid Impressions of
tUhtty corners in Spain and verdant
gladSS In England. All disclose ?ho
practised hand, the trained observation
and the sympathetic spirit of a versatile
landscape painter, who is always on his
guard against repeating himself. There
are glimpses of Andalusia. Normandy,
Venice, tusse?, Cornwall and the Cots
v.olds, and the style is happily varied
so that the characteristic qualify and
atmosphere of each scene is faithfully
|t> produced. In his larger works for the
Academy Sir Alfred East i-ometlmes
suggests Corot's influence, and again lie
scorns to have gone to the National Crg\.
ht y to Und out hoW Turner solved a
tubtle problem of light; but In these
smaller ?irawlngs and pictures he has
n?. m iini.-rism.--. :ind is remarkably fresh
