There is also a Rood specimen in "The Connoisseur." of Casa nova, who is that rare phenomenon, a Spanish humorist. But France and Germany are mostly *o the fore. The advanced wing of the former school is represented by a small but typical Pattel by Degas, "The Dancers." In the more familiar style at the school are the six military f'uiltt by De Neovflle and the two by Detallle, all of them disclosing the observation and the ««£j' draughtsmanship which have nu-.de thos artiste famous.

One or two of v h^se subject pictures are rather Kloonsy, notably Gabriel Max's "Raising of Zttrasfs Daughter," and Munkacsy's hauntingly flrarr.atk: and v.ldely celebrated composition, "The ]>st Boon of a Condemned Man."

All these things, however, are subordinate, for all their value, tc the objects of Oriental art ■*ith which the shelves and cases are crowded. Mr. Bishop's treasure* in metal illustrate a wide r *O»e, They begin with scores of the Iron or br©n« sword guard*, which show the Eastern craftsman working out magnificently decorative *b«nes within the narrowest limitations as to *P*ce. and they extend to really monumental <SucUonß. like the "Large Bronze Buddha" Wo. 1,533), and the iantastia "Bronze Incense Burner" (No. 1,834), In which a cloud of vapor issuing from the mouth of a dragon is surmount ed by an eagle bearing on its back, between ltß outstretched wings, the Japanese goddess of music. This incense burner is a model of Ori ental daring and skill in plastic art. One has to look closely to the symbolism of many a Japan ese bronze in this collection in order to f«*»l sympathy with the freedom the old artists gave themselves in matters of fcrm. Our Western ideas of sculpture are miles away from the strange blends of realism and fantasy in which the' Bast delights. But it requires no effort at all to appreciate the consummate craftsmanship spent upon the dragons, crabs, birds, animals, and so on, in which the bronze section abounds, and there are some objects which the veriest layman could not but admire for sheer beauty of texture and color. Take, for example, the an cient Chinese bronze vase (Ko. 2,054). -with ita patina of green and reddish brown. Beauty in metal could scarcely further go, and we may say as much of the magnificently wrought old "Sung" Jar (So. 2089). and of the three or four oviform vases of which No. 1914 is the type. In the presence of many of *he naturalistic bronzes, the portraits of tiny long eared rabbits and tb A like, one thinks of the Oriental artist as pecul iarly a lover of grotesque motives, but there are many metal Jars and vases here which show that he has his graver, finer moods, and can wreak himself with the same delicacy and power upon noble schemes of form and surface. In one room there have been gathered together on this occasion a number of Buddhistic statues and shrines. These, in their wonderful immobil ity and their adherence to certain broad lines of design, suggest an art of convention, and there is much else in the exhibition, as there must be in every exhibition devoted to -the East, which brings up the same idea. But if potters* marks and the signatures of the Eastern painters and other artists are as sealed books In the Wert, save to the trained Orientalist, originality Is still there, giving often to the merest trifle an obviously vital stamp. Scholarship is needed to distinguish between the infinite varieties of style illustrated, for example, among the Jap anese knife handles, of which Mr. Bishop as sembled an imposing array. But even the ob server unlearned in the minutie of the subject can apprehend the essential point about these little masterpieces, or about those wonderful Inros or medicine cases, to the making of which there has gone some of the best effort of the East. Perfection of workmanship counts for much among these objects, but invention counts for more, and that is the great lesson enforced by Mr. Bishops Orientalia. To traverse these hundreds of exhibits in detail would be neither convenient nor profitable. Whole pages of the catalogue are exhausted in the description of the Inros alone- The important thing to note about a masterpiece among the inros. like No. 1,494. one fashioned in the guise of an ink block, is that both in the landscape represented upon its face and In the carving of the wood snail and lotue of the inevitable netsuke we have the decorative instinct of the Orient in a nutshell, an instinct giving to each development of a con ventional object or utensil a character as much its own as that which the greatest of Italian painters ever gave to* one of hit pictures. It does not matter what the shape or si»e of the object may be; it does not matter whether nature, the human figure, birds, beasts or floral arabesques have supplied the leading motive. The artist produces always precisely the right composition, formalized, yet free, and works it out with a touch as strong and authoritative as Jt i? light and subtle. It is the same in ail the manifestations of the artistic genius of the East. If there are boun daries set In the matter of design by the very nature of the task in hand, then the problem is Folved by the perfect manipulation of texture and color, as witness certain of the single color porcelains in this collection, like tho saner-de boeuf vase, No. 957, and Its two companions in the same case, or the beautiful pieces of blue and white and of decorated porcelain which go lo make up a number of other groupß. The pio uvria! artists enjoy a fuller license, as may be seen from the many fine kakemonos, but tha charm of the Bishop collection lies in the fe cundity of decorative skill which ie everywhere visible, as much in gleaming lacquers and in carvings of jade as in elaborate paintings or in patiently wrought bronze. The average of ex cellence throughout the various departments of the collection is high. As we indicated at the outset, Mr. Bishop had a way of coming upon the really characteristic and valuable object. As tlm<» went on he became more and more ab sorbed In his jadee. but in all fields of Oriental art he maintained the same standard. The dis persal of his collection affords to American ama teurs an opportunity which we believe they will be quick to sieze. WHAT IS GOING ON TO-DAY.

A Concert of Tschaikowsky's Music. The most convincing demonstration yet 6cen of I the popularity of Mr. WasiU Safonoff with the patrons of the Philharmonic Society was made at the first of two extra concerts under his direction given in Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon. Thts second will be given at the same plaoe and with lhe same programme this evening, when, Jt is fair to expect, the scenes of enthusiastic approbation which marked yesterday's concert will be repeated and multiplied. Mr. Safonoff conducted the pair of Philharmonic concerts a week ago: he will conduct the pair of concerts next week. It was therefore not the spirit of curiosity alone whtch filled Carne gie Hall yesterday. A programme composed ex clusively of Tschaikowsky's music had something to do with It, of course, and after the experiences of the last two seasons it can safely be added that the inclusion In the list of the symphony in B minor had a great deal to do with it. The lovers of sym phonic music In New-Tork have come to look upon Mr. Safonoff as a Tschaikowsky specialist. Mr. TTeingartner came to us as a specialist in the classics, and made his deepest impression last season with a reading of Beethoven's "Choral" symphony. Mr. Colonno came twice as a repre sentative of the French school, of what may now be termed the pre-Kranckian period, winning his finest triumph in a performance of the "Fantastic" symphony by Berlioz. Mr. llengelberg came as a specialist tn the interpretation of "Em Heldeme ben," by Richard Strauss, and sacrificed the first concert to hts desire to make a stunning effect, literally and metaphorically, with that piece of bombast and claptrap. Dr. Btrauss's Interest cen tered in the interpretation of his own music and we are to hear more of it from the next visitor from Germany. He is the hero of the hour with our German cousins, as Tschaikowsky 1b with our Rus sian. The tendencies illustrated by the two men are diametrically opposed to each other, and if we could but convince ourselves that the frantic en thusiasm which Mr. Safonoff has aroused every time that he has directed a performance* of the so called, and misnamed. "Pathetic" symphony was wholly a tribute to the mu6ic, it might be profitable to attempt to study those tendencies a little more closely than a present disposition prompts us to do. It Is not without significance that so far as yester day's music Is concerned there was no expression in it of Russian radicalism. Tschaikowsky never represented the extreme wing of the Muscovite school. His case is like that of Rubinstein, who ■wrote, in his notebook: "The Jews call me a Chris tian: the Christians call me a Jew. The Russians pay I am a German; th© Germans say I am a Russian. To the classicists I am a futurist; to the futurists a retrogade, and so on. Conclusion: I am neither fish nor flesh— a pitiful individual indeed"' Fifteen years ago the writer of this review seems to have been Inclined to put Tschaikow6ky in a BimUar category. Writing of the first concert of the Carnegie Hall dedicatory festival, he said: "It was the performance of M Tschaikowsky's 'Manfred' symphony four and a half years ago (December 4, 1S86) which led The Tribune to utter the warning cry; Xook out for the Muscovite" In Russia the great heart of the people beats In th» music even of such cultured and finished com posers as M. Tschaikowsky. and it therefore has an elemental power. There is a trace of barbarism Jr. It with Its directness, truthfulness and forceful ness. Scarcely a composition has come from St. Petersburg for years In which we have not been called on to observe that huge yearning for char acteristic expression which will one day break through all the restrictions that now confine it and make its imDress on th« music of the world. M. Tsehalkowßky is an interesting phenomenon In our present activities because in him we are con strained to see the wise mediator between the staid German school and the reckless, untamed seal of the younger men among his colleagues, like Rimsky-Korsakow. who would sacrifice the essence of art for the sake of national feeling. He is also Interesting because, of all the Russian musicians. except Rubinstein, we know his rnusio best." The German school has outlived its etaidness since these wonls were written, if Strause and Reger are Its exemplars : There were two and a half hour* of Tschalkow- Bky's music in yesterday's concert, but scarcely more than four times that number of minutes In which the specific Russian idiom was heard, and then it spoke but fiasidly. It was In the finale of the first number, the. serenade in C for strings, which Dt. Lieopold Damrosch brought forward twenty-one years ago and which has practically lain on the ehelf ever since. Only in the use of a phrase of Russian folk-melody was the voice heard. Melancholy has. Indeed, marked Russian music for Its own; but. th* heart -searching grief, the self accusing regret, the abject despair of the conclu sion of the symphory in B minor Is an individual voice, not a national. Tschaikowsky chose to keep th- shroud of secrecy about the subjective impulses which had prompted the composition of the. work, though protesting always that there was a "pro gramme- back of It. Hts friends and those who knew his unhappy nature nave had no difficulty in supplying a programme wholly persona. It was this that to them made the finale of the symphony when first it was heard sound like a confirmation of the stubborn rumor that he had taken bis own life. The old thoughts were called up again toy * v - co operation in yesterdays concert of Miss Am * Ohe who played the pianoforte concerto in B flat minor. On May 9. 1891. she played the same work ©n the samn platform, under the direction of th« composer. It was a brilliant performance; It was noted as such In the composer's diary, and so It lives In the memory of all who were privileged to hear it. Mr. Tschaikpwsky had come to New- York on the invitation of Mr. Walter Damrosch to take part In the dedicatory exercises of Carnegie Hall. Undoubtedly it was in some degree responsible for the fact that Miss Aus der Ohe received an Invita tion to play the concerto at a concert of the Im perial Music Society in St. Petersburg on October 1«. 1893. It was a pathetically memorable affair. Tschaikowsky conducted, and th« "Symphonte Fa thetique" (with which the concerto was again asso ciated yesterday), which had been completed in the summer of that year, had its first public perform ance. (On the programme, too, were the dances from Mozart's "Idomeneo " , yesterday r programme contained the Serenade, the first movement of which, by Tschaikowsky's own confession, was written a.« nn expression of his admiration for Mozart— an admiration which was akin to idolatry and inspired him throughout his career. ) Although the composer was recalled many times after the symphony, ho seemed dissatisfied with its reception and expressed a wish that it be performed again as soon as possible, in order that it might be better understood. His wish was fulfilled at the very next concert of the society, but when that took place Tschaikowsky was dead and buried. The story Is more pathetic than the symphony, which would better have been called "Tragic." as the composer's brother Modest suggested. Under Mr. SafonofTs leadership ths symphony had a peculiarly thrilling performance yesterday. Whether or not all of Mr. Safonoff's pugilistic gestures and gyrations are necessary to the attainment of such result* might be ?. curious inquiry: but its deter mination would avail nothing. He Inspires his players, and he also Inspires his hearers. He sends out Irresistible Impulses like galvanic shocks. It Is a significant fact, and !t Is a pity that he creates the greatest excitement in the third move ment, a shallow, empty, frivolous piece of music designed merely for effect and attaining Its end by cheap and commonplace means. It is entirely unworthy of the first and last movements of the symphony, though fai-rly well consorted with the movement in 6-4 time. The serenade has beauty and grace to commend It. but the mere prettlnesses of its waltz scarcely comport with the dignity of a Philharmonic concert. Miss Aus der Ohe played the concerto with equal brilliancy and authori tatlvenesß. H K. K. THE BROOKLYN PHILHARMONIC. The audience which attended the third Brooklyn Philharmonic concert at the Baptist Temple last evening went home fully satisfied with both pro pramme and performance. There was the same marked Interest In the playing of the Boston Sym phony Orchestra, under the direction of Wllhelm tiericke, that was shown at the previous concerts. In the rendering of the, numbers the work of the orchestra was supplemented by Alfred Relsenauer at the piano, who played Weber's "Concert-stuck" with orchestral accompaniment. The orchestral numbers ■which preceded this were the Mendelssohn overture. "Calm Sea and Pros perous Voyage," aud Beethoven's Symphony No. 6. "Pastorale." The final numbers were the In troduction to the third act of Humperdinck'n •King's Children " and Liust's symphonic poem N=o. 2. "Tasso: Lament and Triumph." Abun djuxt upplaus* showed the appreciation by the MUSIC. audience of the- work of orchestra, conductor and ■otoiat. The fourth concert will be given in th« same place, on Friday, February 18. W. K. BIXBY HONORED. _____ _____ i Bibliophile Society of Boston Pre sents a Punch Bowl to Him. Boston, Jan. 12.— fourth annual meeting and banquet of the Bibliophile Society was held at the Algonquin Club last night. Among the speakers were John D. Long. Professor Albert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard University; Edward H. Clement, of "The Boston Transcript," and F. B. Sanborn. of -Concord. Mass. One of the special features of the meeting was the presentation of a punch bowl and tray to one of the members, William K. Bixby. of. St. Louis. Mo. The bowl is of sterling silver ana gold, rest ing on a plateau, or standard, of sterling silver. The two pieces weigh nearly nine hundred ounces. The measurement at the base is thirty-one Inches and the height twenty-two inches. It is designed m the Roman Corinthian typo and in its decora tive features follows closely the detail of the Tern-. Pie of Antoninus and Faustina at Rome, generally held to be one of ttie most rtfined examples of that type. Twelve columns support the upper por- . tlons of the bowl. Directly below these, on the ob- ; verse of the body, Is the teal of the Bibliophile So- i ciety, with an open book and an unrolled parchment i on either Bide of the seal. Upon the book are en- j graved the names of several manuscripts which Mr. i Bixby has given the society to print, and the scroll | contains the names of many eminent writers whose : original manuscripts are to be found in Mr. Bixby's ■ collection. Xo din work or stamped work has been j used In the construction of this piece; all is moulded | and hand chased and finished, and the ornamenta tions are in hand wrought pure gold. The follow ing Inscription appears In raised Roman letters on the side of the bowl: Presented by the members of the Bibllophtle So ciety to -W-illiani K. Bixby, Bt. lx>uis. Mo., on the forty-ninth anniversary of his birth. The cost of the bowl, nearly *4.00<\ was raised by popular subscription among the members. The committee having charge of the selection and presentation of this beautiful testimonial consists of Mr. TVhltelaw Reid, chairman; United States Senator PerWns, San Francisco; the Hon. J. Lever ing Jones. Philadelphia; John P. Woodbury and Henry H. Harper, Boston. The following is the presentation addrass, which was prepared by tne chairman of the committee: To William K. Blxby. Esq. Tour fellow members of the Blbliophilo Society wish to leave with you some permanent expression of the regard in which they hold you. and of the obligation they feel for the services you have ren dered them. ... , They admire the taste, learning and liberality which have led you to acquire so many treasures In books and manuscriptp. and they feel honored In having you as an associate. • They appreciate the unselfish generosity with which you have placed these priceless collections at the service of your book loving friends in tni* organization, and for that reason they count them selves your grateful debtors. Tou would never permit an attempt to Glscnargiß such an indebtedness. But they cannot be denied the privilege of recognising It. in the piece or silver and gold plate which they now ask you to accept from them. They have endeavored to make this an object of art, not wholly unworthy or tne home they wl<=h you to give It and we are in structed to bring it to you with the gratitude ana sincere good wishes of your four hundred aiia ninety-nine associates in The Bibliophile Society. During the last few years Mr. Bixby has given the Bibliophile Society a large number of valuable unpublished manuscripts. The issue of these, in limited editions, printed exclusively for the mem bers, has had the effect of making the society's books much sought tor by collectors, libraries and historical societies. The items Include the auto graph Journal of Major Andre, containing many original maps of the Revolutionary period, the original unpublished Proceedings of the Court o' Inquiry that tried Colonel Varick for supposed cor* pliclty in the Arnold treason, a long unpublished manuscript of Marat, an unpublished manuscript of Sir Walter Scott, three volumes of unpublished manuscripts of Henry D. Thoreau, a long- poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. a number of the original Letters of Charles Lamb, a unique Burns item, anrf numerous other manuscripts of great historic a.ia literary worth. Those have all been placed in the hands of the society by Mr. Bixby, to be printed for the members, and it is in recognition of this disinterested generosity that the members have cx preered their gratitude and esteem. In turning over the numerous manuscripts, valued at nearly $loO,<*>"'. to the Bibliophile Society, Mr. Bixby acted solely on his own impulse, and not at the Instigation of any friend or acquaintance. The?« treasures were- voluntarily offered the society, and many of them were sent on to Boston, to the society's treaeurer, before a single officer of the organization was personally known to Mr. Bixby. A number of the most precious items were in loose eheete, and the owner himself assumed the risk of their safe return to him in the same good condition in which they left. Th« chances of loss or destruc tion of one or more, leaves can well be imagined when on* considers that they had to ha copied, compared, and many of them sent out to be photo graphed and reproduced in various ways, and then compared again with the fae-simlles. It was found that one bound manuscript volume, valued at more than $10:000. would have to be taken apart, and Mr. Bixby promptly instructed that this be done, even to the last leaf, if necessary, in order to reproduce !t to the nest advantage. The rarest and most valuable items sent on have never been accom panied by a Blngle restriction or word of caution to tlios© into whose hands they were intrusted. Not even the cost has been mentioned, except In the necessary accompanying correspondence relating to the purchase. Mr. Bixby has always desired that that be. withheld from publication, and with be coming modesty he has repeatedly protested against any recognition of his munificent benefactions. UNION LEAGUE'S LOAN EXHIBITION. Thirty Modern Paintings To Be on View for Three Day* at Club. Following Its annual custom, 'the art committee of the Union League Club, of which Abraham A. Anderson is chairman and Paulding Farnham sec retary, began Ita three-day loan exhibition of mod ern paintings yesterday.

Tlie American Society of International Law. an outgrowth "of thp Lake Mohonk peace conference, was organized last night at the Bar Association headquarters". Elihu Root. Secretary of State, was elected presi dent. Among the twelve vice-presidents chosen are three former Secretaries of State, three Justices of the United States Supreme Court and several diplomats, while the twenty-three members of the executive council are men well known Jn the fields of statesmanship, law and diplomacy. Oscar S. Straus presided at the meeting last night, and in his speech told of Its object and pur posep. He spoke of the meeting at Lake Mohonk last June, and of the plans for organiiin* this so ciety, which numbers about one hundred and twen ty-five members, must ot them prominent men. •The American laws are very broad and liberal," said Mr. Straus, "and the United States has been foremost in arbitration and in neutrality laws. To become a world power w must clothe ourselves with world clothes to fulfil our obligations. We are to lay h«re the foundation for a great Institu tion, not only to be felt In this country, but as an International course. There Is before us a glorious work." The object of the American Society of Interna tional Law. as set forth in the constitution last night, is to foster the study of international law and promote the establishment of international relations on the basis of law anfl Justice. To this end it will co-operate with other societies Jn this and other countries having the same object. An interesting and lively discussion on th* pro posed constitution was Indulged in by some of the member* present before its adoption. Some of those who took part In it were William M. Ivlns. Judge Hiram Steele, Judge Penn*ld, formerly solicitor ot the State Department; General Horatio C. Klngr and Dr. Albert Shaw. Judge Steele was in favor of restricting the so ciety to members of the legal profession and for mer members of the diplomatic service. This view was supported by Mr. Ivlns. Charles Henry But l»r said that the English Society of International Law had among its membership steamship cam panie?. railroad companies and Insurance com panies. Before the laughter that the mention of insurance companies had aroused ceased Mr. Ivlns was again on his feet and protested against the commercialism that the admission of such corpora tions would Introduce Into the society. Particularly was he opposed to insurance companies as v part of the society. "Admit as members lawyers, diplomats, profes sors clergymen and Journalists if you will, but let us restrict the membership so that when this society will appear before an International conference It will have a good standing and prestige." Judge Penfleld believed that the advice of men in the commercial world would be of value to the members, while Charles B- Coudert, jr.. took * practical view of the situation, and said that the lawyers would control the society anyway, even with non-profe3sional men as members. "But what we nee.d besides the brains of the lawyers." he added. "Is money as the sinews of war for peace." The question was finally deferred for future con sideration. Professor James W. Scott, of Columbia, who acted as secretary, announced that letters had been received expressing the regrets of the writers at their inability to be present and their co-operation with the movement.

CLERKS KETUSi: TO STAY DISCHARGED Coroner Ambler, of Queens, Wants to "Clean House," but Cannot. Dr. A. S. Ambler, the new Coroner for Queens, signalized his entry Into the office by a desire to "clean house." but the others concerned would have none of It The Coroner first ordered Martin Mager, chief clerk, and George Kelly, another clerk, to resign, but, like good Democrats, they stood loyal to their party, and refused to go. even when told by letter that they were "suspended," "dismissed" and •discharged." Dr. Ambler had not expected such vigorous oppo sition, but the more be discharged them th* tight er they held on. Dr. Samuel Nutt. who was re elected coroner for three years with Dr. Ambler, told Mager he need not go. and liager did not. Dr. Ambler then tried to get a meeting of the coroners' board, composed of himself and Dr. Nntt. but the older official has yet to respond to the in vitation He is said to have asked the police of the Jamaica precinct to throw KHIy out, but they re fused. Now he is considering th* preferring of charges against Dr. Nutt for refusal to attend • board meeting FOE TWELVE XINUTES' WOKK. Dr. Morris Maintains This Is Not High for Surgical Operation.
