PAX-AMEBICAN AWARDS IX FINE ARTS
MADE PUBLIC.
JVBCZAL. MEDAL IS RECOMMENDED FOR
AtTorsrrs st. gaudexs for excep
tional EXCELLENCE IN SCULPTURE.
Buffalo Aug. 6.-The list of awards In fine arts
••Bras made public to-day. The committee that
'•passed on the exhibits was chosen from among the
most, prominent exhibitors, but the members had
[been placed out of the competition before the voting
.of the awards began. The value of the awards
depends to a great extent upon the men who
make them, and the result of th- committee I*,1 *, work
will be better understood when it is known that the
exhibitors include many of the best known artists
in the United States. The tine arts Jurors of
«ward are the following: For painting. J. Carroll
tUeckwlth. N. A., the well known portrait painter.
%vh« was chosen chairman of the jury for the
division of fine arts; Edwin H. Blashfleid. N. A.;
Jtenyon Cox. A. N. A.. G. A. Reid. li. C. A., the
(well known Canadian artist, an.! Samuel Isham.
ML N. A. For sculpture the jurors were Daniel C.
(Trench. N. a., the author, together with Edwin C.
(Potter, of the equestrian statue of George Wash
ington which has been erected in bronze in the
b'iaee :•■!..!. in Paris; Herbert Adams. N. A., and
■A- Phlmlster Proctor. A. N. A. For the group
'comprising drawings, etchings, engravings and il
lustration pictures, whether i.i black and white or
urith color introduced, the jurors anew Henry Wolf,
Che celebrated woi>d engraver; Kenyon Cox and
Hamuel jmi.. The architectural jurors were
{Henry Rutgers Marshall. Professor William R.
Ware, of Columbia University, and Cass Gilbert, of
•Minneapolis and New-York. This jury held its
jjneetings 1:. Buffalo in the week beginning July 22.
and made t.'..ii rep en to it.- superior jury on July
'•ja. The fact that the nlilMflaa of fine arts is a ,
'■ picked exhibition, and that almost all of the works
; therein exhibited wore familiar to the jurors before
their work began, greatly expedited the making of
; awards.
- The fine arts jury as a whole prefaces Its report
to the superior jury with the following statement:
; "The jury of awards for the division of fine arts
,lias to rei»ort that the exhibition of fine arts in
'■ the present exposition la the nu>st complete and
'representative exhibition of American art ever yet
!£Ot together. Almost all the works collected were
solicited for the exhibition by the director of fine
arts, and no unsolicited work was accepted with
out the approval of an expert professional jury, so
•that the mere presence of a work at art In this col
jlection is of Itself a certificate of merit. Under
ithese circumstances it has seemed necessary to
•the Jury to make a very large number of recom
mendations or awards. in order to do even partial
Justice to the work exhibited."
"In view of the extraordinary and altogether ex
ceptional merit of the work in sculpture exhibited
■by Augustus St. Gaudens, the jury unanimously
end earnestly recommends that the award of ■
epeciiii diploma and medal of honor, above and
'.apart from all other awards, be created solely for
his work."
This recommendation of the Jury for fine arts
was adopted by the superior jury, and the special
award was created by the executive committee on
August 2, and this great distinction of a medal of
honor as the grand and chief award in the entire
Pan-American Exposition has been given to Mr.
'Augustus ft. Gaudens. It la in lino with the
euccess of this eminent artist In Paris last year.
.'when for his work, including the equestrian statue
lof General Sherman, which is exhibited for the
'.first time in the United States at the Pan-Ameri
can Exposition, and for other work. Including the
memorial to Colonel Shaw, erected on Boston Com
mon, and th? memorial to Robert Louis Steven
eon, to be placed in Edinburgh, he was made an
officer of the Lesion of Honor without passing
through the preliminary grade of chevalier, and
was awarded a grand prix, or medal of honor. The
_> Jury of awards In fine arts for Group No. 3, lnelud
fl ing the etchings and engravings, made a special
V report concerning American wood engravings, stat
ing that "the general average of merit Is 60 high
that It is difficult to do full Justice to every worthy
exhibitor. As the art seems now to be dying from
want of support. it seems hardly probable that 50
line an exhibition will ever be seen again."
The fine arts Jury in concluding its report re
corded its approval of the artistic laying out of
the grounds of the exposition and the general ef
ject of the buildings, and commended as worthy of
high praise and of such recompense as the superior
jury might tee fit to grant the work of Henry
Ruetln in the electric lighting of the exposition and
that of the director of color. Mr. C. Y. Turner.
; While the list of awards may seem a large one, it
Is In reality comparatively small, considering the
excellence and high quality of the exhibits in the
fine arts exhibition. There are about !.MM exhibits
( In all. and the BBS) arts Jury also examined a large
I, number <■♦ pictures end pieces of sculpture In spe
cial buildings, exhibited by the Central and South
•American countries. Awards were made in these
after careful consideration, and it was a matter of
ejattaCecttea to the fire arts Jury that it found In
• these special exhibits some works worthy of the
■highest commendation.
, The awards are as follows:
Class E77— Paintings in oil, water color, pastel and
other recognized mediums; miniatures: cartoons.

NEW- YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 7. 1901.
ROBBERS MAKE RICH HAUL.
GOLD BULLION WORTH $280,000 STOLEN
FROM THE SELBY SMELTER
AT VALLEJO. CAL.
Vallejo, Cal.. Aug. Gold bullion valued at
$250,000 was stolen last night from the Selby
Smelting Works here. The robbers evidently
had been working on the Job for two or three
months. They had dug a tunnel from outside
the house, beginning with a shaft about three
feet deep. Thence they worked underneath the
vault, and, striking upward, bored holes In the
floor of the strongroom. Part of the holes were
bored two months ago. it is thought, and the
last one was completed in the night. Through
that hole they took the gold bricks and carried
them to a bank near the mouth of the tun
nel, east of the works, where they were evi
dently placed in a boat. In their hurry, the
robbers left two of the bricks on the bank.
In the night one of the workmen reported to
his fellows that he heard a noise in the strong
room, and declared it was a ghost. The others
ridiculed him for his superstition, but no in
vestigation was made.
The entrance to the tunnel was covered with
a frame, over which the employes of the smelter
passed repeatedly every day. but no one seemed
to notice anything out of the way. Sheriff Veale
of Contra Costa County, his deputies, and the
chief of police of Vellejo. as well as the police
of San Francisco and all the bay cities, are at
work on the case, but so far there is not the
slightest clew to the robbers. The work was
done by skilled men. and their elaborate plans
were carried out without a hitch. They got all
the bullion in the vault, leaving behind only
the two bricks dropped on the shore. Only one
day's accumulation of refined gold was kept at
the works. Yesterday's run was unusually heavy.
and the gold was to have been shipped back to
San Francisco to-day.
The tunnel the robbers excavated was about
three feet in diameter, and gave them plenty
of room in which to work. It is supposed that
tho dirt from the tunnel was taken out at night
and dropped into the bay. The shaft was
started close to the wall and was sunk below
tho foundation. Thence it was only a. short dis
tance under the floor of the vault. It is thought
the men who committed the robbery took their
plunder away In a launch and made directly
for San Francisco. There are plenty of places.
however to which they may have gone.
'Pi,,, Selby smelter Is the largest on the Pa
cific Coast. Ores are sent there from all parts
of the western slope for reduction. The works
are near the lay shore, about thirty miles from
San Francisco. The gold is kept in a steel lined
strongroom. million is sent every day from
Selby's San Francisco office to the smelter by a
special boat The boat arrived at the works
as usual to-day with the consignment of bullion,
and tho strongroom was opened, so that It could
be stored. Then it was that the smelter offi
cials discovered their loss.
MYSTERY 7-V BIG JERSEY PROJECT.
TWO MEN GET A RIPARIAN GRANT AT
PLEASANT VALLEY. BUT FAIL TO
PAY FOR IT.
A riparian Brant recently made by the New-Jer-
Fey State Riparian Board to George R. Ross *nd
William BpratTUe of 650 feel Of riverfront prrn)
erty at Pleasant Valley. a short distance south
of the Fort I>ee ferry. Is surrounded by consider
able mystery- Secretary John C. Payne of the
State. Riparian Commission still holds th« grant,
which has not been paid for, and will hand it over
when he reoeivs J.13.«0. It Is pretty generally be
lieved that the application was made on behalf of
capitalists who propose erecting a plant on the
New-Jersey shore to fight th» Sugar Trust, but all
who might know remain silent.
When the Riparian Commission held Its last ses
sion on the |>orrh of the Governor's cottage at Sea
Girt, there appeared before It George It. Hiss and
K. C. Eckerson, his counsel, who rrsnde a verbal
application for the graut. He talked ns If Mr. Rosa
an.i the people he asserted were bark of Mr. Ross
had millions nt their disposal. They Intended, he
said, to erect an enormous plant there to cost hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
"What is the nature of the plant?" asked Gov
ernor Voorhees.
••That lam not prepared to disclose." 1 lied Mr.
i Kckerson. "for business reasons We want our
plant kept secret until we are ready to st.irt work."
The commission agreed upon IV) fi front foot as the
price for the land under water, but decided to allow
a rebate of $20 a foot If the projector! of the
plant should expend PBO.OOI within !-!x months.
The commission was willing to make It a year, but
Mr. Bckerson was perfectly willing to make it k\x
months, and th« commissioners took him at his
word. They would surely expend WOO.OOO on the
new plant within that time, li<- said, anl his manner
of saying It »rive the Impression that that ram wai
really ■ small fraction of what would !><• spent.
As to how the money should be paid the com
missioners said thai the projectors could either pay
in the full amount and gel their deed at once, and
the commission pay back the $20 :i foot when the
terms of the contract were complied with, or they
rould pay the JVi .1 foot now and th« dee I could
be held "by S<-rr<tnry Payne until th« plant was
erected. After a discussion Messrs. Ross and
Kckerson said they would pay the 140 a foot as
Foon as formal application for the grant wan
made, and would deposit a certified check for the
balance with the secretary of the commission, to
be returned with the deed at the expiration of six
months, providing 1900,000 had been expended.
When the formal application for the grant was
made it bore the names of George R. Ross and
William Bprague. Since the deed has been drawn
Mr. Ross Etas been in to see Secretary Payne. He
wanted the price reduced. He did not talk with
Mr. Eckerson'a assurance, but still refused to tell
what kind of a plant it was proposed to erect.

CROPS GOOD IX XORTHWEST.
J. J. HILL SAYS BUSINESS FOR THE RAIL
ROADS PROMISES WELL.
James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern
Railway Company, returned to this city ysatarday
aTter an extended trip In the Northwest. He said
that crops alone the lines of th© Great Northern
and Northern Pacific roads looked well and prom
ised good buslneys for the railroads. As to the
Burlington lino, along which there has been a par
tial failure of the corn crop, Mr. Hill said he hoped
the road would give a good account of Itself in
spite of the damage to the corn crop.
"Perhaps." he said, "many farmers will think
they cannot afford to feed S5 cent corn to stock.
and will decide to sell the corn. As is known, most
of the corn crop goes into live stock, and Is trans
ported as such to the market. Now. if much more
of the corn is sold, and Is transported, the railroads
will derive a proportionately greater benefit from
carrying the corn, although their profits from car
rying live stock will be smaller. The difference In
net returnst to the railroads will not be so large
as many persons Imagine."

TESLA PEADY FOR BUSINESS.
HE HAS BOUGHT THE LAND FOR HIS
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY STATION
AND LET THE CONTRACTS FOR
THE BUILDINGS.
Nikola Tesla's plans for a transatlantic wireless
telegraphic system are now so well In hand that
he has bought a Bite for the station on the Long
Island shore, and has agents looking for a suitable
place for a station on the British coast. The sta
tion In this country will be at Wardenclyffe. on the
Sound, nine miles ea>i of Port Jefferson. Mr. Tesla
has purchased two hundred acres of land in that
vicinity, and closed contracts yesterday for the
necessary buildings.
Five or six buildings will be erected on different
parts of the tract, the largest of which is to be
one hundred feet square and several stories high.
It will contain. Mr. Tesla says, one of the most
complete electrical plants that can be purchased.
Three hundred and fifty horsepower will be de
veloped, and the total coat will be nearly $150.00".
The other buildings will be used for the electrical
experiments with which Mr. Tesla la now engaged.
Including a system of lighting by diffused light!
lie will probably give up his present laboratory, at
No. *> Bast Houston-st., and make hl3 headquar
ters at Wardenclyffe.
Mr. Tesla has been working for several years
with his system of wireless telegraphy, and believes
that he has advanced far enough to warrant a
change from the experimental to the commercial
stage. He fays it will not be long before as will
be transmitting commercial messages between
Wardenclyffe and Europe without the use of wires
or cables.
When seen at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel last
( night Mr. Tesla said:
"I would have been sending messages across lbs
! ocean without the, use of wires by this time if the
I public were not so hard to convince that it pou)<l
i be done. It takes time to assure people of the
truth of new discoveries. It was six or eight ye.T-s
I before people believed In my system of transmit
j ting electric power. Now It Is used everywhere. I
l cannot tell you Just how far I have advanced in the
I perfection of my system of telegraphy, but ! hope
I soon to be able to show most convincing results.*"

RUGS ana DRAPERIES
From the ORIENT
Offered at Decisive Midsummer Reductions
FLOOF; COVERINGS AND DRAPERIES from the Orient have held highest
1 position in artistic homes ever since rugs and hangings have been used. First,
because the craft came out of the far East, from whence the first of such products
came ; then, later, because the Western workers could not attain the skill in weav
ing and dyeing with such art and permanence as the handicraft of the Orientals dis
played.
So, notwithstanding the beauty and excellence of carpets aad rugs now made
in England and America, we still go to the Orient for the truly artistic Rugs and
Draperies. Our own traveler goes direct to the points of supply aad even travels
inland among the workers at the looms, to get choice specimens before other buyers
have an opportunity to see them.
This careful and exhaustive collecting makes this stock of Oriental Rugs choice
and complete. But the prodigal buying makes it necessary at times to hasten the
selling more than is usual among Oriental R.ugs of authenticated derivation and value.
We do not hold them as do the art stores that have such really fine specimens as
these. Here they are closed out like all other merchandise that remains unsold in
Midsummer — for new supplies are on the way to take the places which these must
quickly vacate.
The collection is so broad, and the patterns so choice and true that connoisseurs
as well as home furnishers will appreciate the display. All who purpose investing
will appreciate the opportunity of saving fifteen to a hundred and twenty-five dollars
from prices already lower than were known for equal goods in other stores.
The present offering consists of a hundred and thirty-nine modern Oriental
Rugs in carpet sizes. This includes among the Persian Rugs — Savalan, Guerevan,
Serapi and Fercghan; in Turkish Rugs — Ghoirdes, Herise, Gulistan, Oushak and
Yaprac ; also Candahar Rugs from India.

The Commissioner has caused two policemen to ait
to each of the places complained of. and In every

'nothing drir"?.' " Asked a* to what had been the
result In those eases wnlch the county detectives
had investigated. Mr. PMlbtn merely smiled and

existed for sixty days In any precinct the captain
of that precinct was Ha- to. be Indicted for neglect
