ENGLISH ART TREASURE
«
Collected from the Great Houses
in Town and Country.
V" London, January 6.
' OSie ©I* masters Judiciously selected from pri
ggg* collections are the best company to be
found In England outside the National Gallery.
Tip ■winter show at the Academy Is the finest
tea wen there for a lons time. Ambitious col-
Ustcrs are not allowed to display their credulity
ja aaoeptinff spurious for genuine works, and
th« ©ommlttee In charge of the exhibition have
gajctl the owners of well known pictures for
«ttat they wanted and have not been content
with What they could get. It Is an admirable
tZxrsr of masters ancient and modern, chosen for
th« entertainment as well as the education of
die public and illustrating the wealth and range
of the private collections In town and country.
Italian and Flemish works are brought into ar
tirtlo relations In the entrance gallery. A
Ben ok Oozzoll. with dramatic movement and
varied resources. "Christ on the Road to Cal
vary." commands the visitor', eye at once, and
on the opposite wall, separated by a Crucifixion.
( re a Filippino Lippi and Lady Wantage's Bot
ticelli, one an eager and alert Angel of the An
nunciation carrying a lily, and the other a
waxen faced Madonna enthroned under an arch.
The Mar-uses and early Flemish holy families
and portraits are in touch with the Italian prim
itives, and Albert Durer's "Sal valor M until'
sod a portrait by Hans Holbein are not far re
moved from them. On the remaining long wall
1* the stronger coloring of the Venetians, with
Giovanni Bellini's "Toilet of Venus," from Mr.
Fairfax Murray's collection— there is one like it
in Vienna— an example of his richer and more
glowing flesh tones. If he was ever weary of
painting his sad faced Madonnas; and near by
are an Andrea del Barto from the same gallery
—a Holy Family perfect In composition, color
and refinement of technique* — and what Is cata
logued as a Raphael from Sir J. C Robinson's
collection— "Madonna del Candelabra." Th«
circuit Is completed with religious works by
Palma Veechlo, Sebastian del Plombo and Ber
nardo L/ulnl.
The second gallery Is more homogeneous, be
isg devoted exclusively to Dutch and Flemish
art. Earl Spencer has lent two portraits by
Franz Hals— on© of himself with black hat
ami white ruff, a branch of holly in his hand,
and the other of Admiral de Ruyter— a com
manding figure in black with broad, white collar,
and large lace cuffs. These masterpieces of real
lam and economy of color would kill off other por
traiture by superior vitality }f there were not
ftembrandts and Van Dycks In the room. The
Rembrandts are separated by Cuyps filled with
the glory of eunlight. so that the masses of
fhadowy dark become visible. One is the paint
er t> father, with a black robe and a gold chain;
another is known as "Rembrandt's cook." with
a white handkerchief under a red cap; the third j
is a withered old woman, from Sir George Don
aldson's collection* and the fourth is an unfin
ished portrait of a boy from Althorp House. j
The Van Dycks are equally representative j
works: Saint Matthew holding a halberd and
the Rurgomelster Van der Gutch in black man
tle and white lace collar with a crimson curtain
letting* ln a vista of sky and landscape. The '
Duke of Rutland has lent a small Rubens,
"Hercules and Antssus," and Princess Louise a
pastoral by David Tenter*; and the walls are
well stocked with Dutch landscapes from Eng
lish country houses. Jan Steen's dramas shine
out In their vivacity and homely simplicity. One
Is 'The Oyster Supper." from Mr. Ludwig Neu
mann's collection— canvas pulsating with ac
tion, and the other Is "Grace Before Meat." from
Mr. Charles Morrison's house — complete expo
sition of life In a frugal Dutch cottage. Lord
Huntingfteld's Hsscht is also noticeable— "A
Picture Gallery." with many well known paint- j
ings In miniature and painters such as Rubens.
Van Dyck and 6nyders looking at them.
While Che largest gallery contains a few
works by Ruysdael. Canaletto and Rubens, the
walls are mainly lined with British masters
many of them splendid examples of portraiture.
At the top of the room there are two brilliant
Lawrences— Duchess of Gordon In a white
dress and black cloak lined with red, wearing
Jauntily the bonnet of the Gordon Highlanders,
and "Pinkie," a charming full length of a girl
In white with a pink sash and with pink ribbons
In her hat. The Marchioness of Camden in a
fetching hat. with white feather*, is painted in
Sir Joshua's grand style: and near It ere a viva
cious portrait of Viscount Althorp In boyhood,
from Lord Spencer's collection, and another fine
Reynolds, owned by Mr. Leopold Hlrsch— Miss
Roper, who was better known as Baroness
Dacre. Several Galnsboroughs have already
been passed in line, but Mr. Werthelmer's is a
brilliant one that commands a longer halt. It is
a portrait of the Countess of Radnor In a low
cut blue dress trimmed with lace, a feather fan
In her hand and behind her a lovely landscape
background. In the place of honor on the long
wall is Turner's translation of Mercury and
Herse from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," which Sir
Samuel Montagu has often lent for exhibition;
and then the file of stately ladies and great men
begins again. Miss Llnley, actress and singer,
as Gainsborough saw her In white and gold,
with a tress hanging over her shoulder, makes
her bow; and further along she reappears as
Mrs. Sheridan, as Sir Joshua painted her In a
similar costume with hair drawn higher. Gains
borough's well known portrait of William Pitt
Is lent by Viscount Iveagh. and from Lord de
Haumarez's collection comes a pair of Romneys
—the first and second wives of Nathaniel Lee
Acton, each In a white gown. From Althorp has
been sent a notable Reynolds— Countess Spencer
and her daughter Georgian a. with a promise in
her bright face of the wit and beauty which
were to make her famous as Duchess of Devon
shire. Further on Is a Romney that is seldom
seen— wife In an unbecoming green gown
. and green poke hat. Either he took less Interest
In her costume than was his habit with other
sitters or she disregarded his advice.
There Is a break In the line of English por
traiture when the name of Velasquez is recorded
In the catalogue; but the critical observer, al
ready sceptical about the Raphael and the Bal
llr.i. will scarcely be convinced that It Is a gen
uine work. It Is a portrait of Mariana, second
wife of PhUlp IV, with fantastic headdress of
false hair glltterlnr with Jewels and ornamented
with Me ostrich feathers and ribbons. Velas-
Cuez painted her repeatedly, but this picture,
which was owned by the late H. B. Brabazon.
the brilliant watercolor artist, seems like a copy
rather than an original work. More interesting
than the Queen Is the "Knight of Santiago."
from Sir Frederick Cook's collection; it was
painted by Velasquez's second master and
father-in-law. Francisco Pacheco. who en
couraged him to believe .that he had
genius after he had been discouraged by
rough treatment from Il«»rrera, his first teacher.
Near it Is a Van Dyck. Lady Frances Devereux.
daughter of Queen Elizabeth's favorite, the Earl
•f Essex, and the second wife of. one of the
Dukes of Somerset. This Is lent by Lord Toll*
tsscbe. while the big portrait of Sir Ralph and
Way Arsheton of Whslley. painted by Sir Pete
ply, the husband toying with one of his wife'
JrttttM. Is sent by . Lord Zouche. After th
fUJbens portrait of the Earl of Northumberland
ike English painters fall again into line. SI

Hotrarfl, aft«nr«.rd Ducheig of Rutland. The
line Is dosed with a Turner color scheme In the
making like those at the Talt Gallery. It repre
sents the burning of the Houses of Parliament
as seen from the Surrey side, with a silhouette
of the towers of Westminster Abbey In the yel
low smoke.
In the fourth and fifth galleries the Gains
boroughs and Romneys are mingled with
Beecheys, Knellera. Lawrences. Raeburns. Cop
leys, Zoffanys, Morelands. Oples and Wilsons.
Sir David Wilkle's "Chelsea Pensioners Reading
the Waterloo Dispatch." one of the best stories
in paint of earlier British art. is lent by the
Duke of Wellington. "The Devil's Bridge, St.
Gothard," Is a brilliant Turner, fresh In color,
and there is a portrait of him by Llnnell with
out an Intimation of genius In the low-born face.
Bonington. Leslie, James Charles and Lord
Lelghton close the lists of oils; but in the water
color room a fine display is still In reserve.
There are twenty-five of Sir Donald Currle's
series of Turner's drawings, and twenty portraits
In chalk of Academy painters by George Dance.
TO these are added excellent examples of the art
of masters such as Samuel Prout, Peter De Wint,
David Cox, Blrket Foster. G£r6me and Rosa
Bonheur. The winter show seems to Indicate
the pressure of competition upon the Academy;
and this comes without doubt from the Interna
tional Society. The Aoademlclans are bestirring
themselves to Increase the attractiveness of the
loan exhibitions; and It Is an unmixed gain for
students and lovers of art. I. N. F.

THE FHHHAKMONIO SOCIETY.
Tt was somewhat discouraging to the old patrons
of the Philharmonic Society yesterday afternoon, on
trie ocoanion of the fifth matinee of this year, to find
the brilliancy of the affair reserved for the last
number, which came after two hours had passed.
Brahma's third symphony waa played as the open
ing number; it was reeled off perfunctorily. Then
came an orchestral arrangement of four numbers
of Grieg's "Ijjrrlo Pieces" for pianoforte, op. M—
gracious littl* compositions which Mr. Seldl once
tranacrlbed for use at hla popular concerts at
Brighton Beach and the composer rewrote., but
wWch Mr. Reidl aeems never to have suggested to
the Philharmonic Society, though he wan Its con
ductor. After that Mr. Hugo Heermann played
Poethoven'B violin concerto. "VTe do not know a
vlollrlst ■who can reproduce tho broad, beautiful,
rllft-nifled Stylo which tMs concerto call* for a* per
fectly as Mr. Heermann when he. Is at his
beet. T'nfortunately, he. seemed to be under «. cloud
yesterday during the period which rut the Mfwwat
■train upon him In the first movement, and aston
ished his admlre?rs by playing persistently out cf
fin*.; but I»t*r he rei-over*d himself and gave suoh
an exhibition of the highest virtuosoahlp as to de
l'ght everybody. H»« Is a reading of the oonoerto
at which ro one ought to cavil— lofty, eloquent,
reposeful. *%• brilliant conclusion of the concert
waa made by Glinka's overture to "Russian and
I^udmilla," a dashing but empty pleoe of muslo
which was heard here fifteen years ago and no one
seems to have thought worthy of reproduction
Fince. t'nder Mr. Bafonoflt It was played with suoh
splendid verve that If there had been anything in
It to carry conviction It would have done so. As It
•was. It was but a tardy tour de for**.
"LA SONNAMBTJIA."
Manhattan Opera House.
After 'Salome," "La Sonnambula"! A careful
reading of the libretto of Bellini's opera failed to
disclose to Mr. Hemmersteln anything that could
be seriously objected to on etnlcal grounds, so he
revived the work last right. There sre those, to
be sure, who are ready to argue that the, muelo
la Immoral; on certain people it acts as a cause
of profanity. But. after all, they don't have to go.
There were none of them standing at the r«ar
last night, to spoil the naTrets of the "Brsrms!"
Mr. Tmnara conducted, at short notloe. in plaos of
CampanlnU end probably on that amount tho per
formance lacked a rhythm and ■tireaess It would
otherwise have had> Mr. Tanara had conducted
only one rehearsal. Bond, however— who. of
course, sang Klvlno— "was almost like a second
conductor on tho stage, for. unobtrusively, he
guided the 6ingers and put life Into the action.
Bis own character he very nearly made to seem a
human being, which Is a dramatic achievement in
"I* Sonnambula.' «i<l though for'the first time

managed it wonderfully, and the du»ti with ICUtk

a young yew tree. The guy deceiver is evidently
not the role that nature designed him to play. As
Is usually the case at Mr. HammeTsteln's. the
choruses were finely sung, and the audience was
of goodly proportions.
OPERA AT THE METROPOLITAN.
Mmc Kamen ie still Indisposed, and her part In
"Tosca," which was performed at the Metro
politan Opera House last night, w«» taken nt short
notice by Mme. Cavalier!, who had not previously
6ung or rehearsed the role.. T'nder the circum
stances, she f.eqjlttod herself more than creditably.
MM. Caruso snd Scottl sang their usual parts, to
the apparent delight of a large audience. 11l luck
still broods over the establishment. Mme. Sembrich
Is not able to sing, and the, programme for this
afternoon has been changed to "Romeo et Juliette,"
with Mr. Rousselllere and Miss Farrar In the prin
cipal parts.
DR. NEITZEL'B RECITAL.
Dr. Otto Nattaal, friend of Richard Strauss and
lecturer on his muHic, gave a pianoforte recital ut
Mendeleeohn Hall yesterday afternoon that began
with Bach and ended with nothing more alarming
than Debussy's "Pagodea" and two tuneful pieces
by Dr. Xeltsel himself. The pianist caused a flut
ter of surprise when he came forth to play Bach'H
chromatic fantasle and fugue by delivering himself
of a, little lcoture on the music In hand. Thia
"composition, he said, is "the great marvel of
longevity," and he described It as expressive of
"the eorrowe caused by lack of appreciation and
nineteen children." Then he played It. He next
spoke a little about Beethoven's sonata in B flat
(Op. 106) and played that. Then followed the "Da
vldebundler-Tanse" of Schumann, Chopin's bal
lade In F minor, the "Fenix Pellets" of Liszt, Salnt-
Raena's "Lea Cloches de Las Palmas," the Debussy
• I'agodes" snd a _ barcarole and gavotte-humor
eeque (called the ' Oyster Gavotte), by himself.
Kv.-rythlng wae played with a fine sense of style,
if, perhaps, without much of the quality we call
—for want of a better word— magnetism. And his
own limpid, tuneful and bright compositions won
most hearty applause from the audience.

NEW-YORK DATLY TTUP»rXE. SATURDAY. JANUARY 26. 1007.
FEDERAL CONTROL.
John D. Rockefeller's Son-in-Law
Write* Against It.
The Macmlllan Company yesterday published a
volume of modest size, entitled "Federal Power
Over Carriers jir.d Corporations," by Mr. E. Par
malee Prentice. The fact that Mr. Prentice Is
a son-in-law of John TJ. Rockefeller, and the added
fact that he holds that there Is or should be
practically no federal power over carriers and cor
porations. Impart an Interest to the book that It
would perhaps hardly otherwise possess. There
Beems to be in this association of circumstances,
Indeed, nn almost Inevitable suggestion of cause
and effect. There is. of course, no 1 Intention to In
timate that Mr. Prentice's Intense .convictions on
the subiect of the wrongful exercise of federal
powpr over carriers and corporations In any way
influenced him In the choice of Mr. Rockefeller for
a fathor-ln-law.
On the other hand, it may he a pure coincidence
that the author, who Is also a lawyer, holds a
brief. In his treatise, for the view.* of the Btandard
Oil magnate. Even so, It !« not uninteresting to
follow the lino o f his rtrfrument. revealing, as It
does, the old. bedrock statPS rights interpretation of
the Constitution, to which the great corporate In
terests of the country have reverted In the effort
to protect themselves from federal Interference and
restriction.
Mr. Prenttee opens his book with a chapter on
"T*ocal Self-Government and Personal Liberty." In
which ho takes for his text De Tocquevlllo's words
In his lettor to (abell: 'Those who dread the li
cense of the mob, and those who fear absolute
power, ought ailke to desire the gradual develop
ment of personal liberties. ... A centralised
administration Is fit only to enervate the nations
in which it exists. ... I am also convinced that
democratic nations ere most llk'ly to fall beneath
tho yoke* of a cpntralized administration." Enlarg
ing on this Idea and applying It, Mr. Prentice
writes:
For many years after the adoption of the Con
stitution local Jealousies; ■ not only for state gov
ernments, but al«o for smaller municipal corpora
tions, was such that apprehensions of centralization
seemed baseless.
Very recently all this iee«ma to have changed.
Confidence In local government and Jealousy for
personal rlsrhfs have given way tri a popular move
ment for the extension of federal Jurisdiction. .
Mr. Prentice then |roen back to the days of the
Constitutional Convention, in 1787, in his effort to
determine exactly what the framers of that doc
ument Intended It to mean. He comes to the con
clusion that "the Constitutional Convention did
not Intend to give. Congress power to tax or to pro
hibit commerce among the states, and that the
nature of th* power upon which It Is sought to
found such a Jurisdiction falls to support It."
The next two chapters are taken up with a con
sideration of th» decisions of the Supreme Court
upon th« constitutional questions Involved In cases
bearing on tha subjoot of Interstate commerce. In
the case of Gibbons ngt. Ogden. the author quotes
from the opinion of Chief Jostles Marshall, who
held that the right of Intercourse between Btato
and state was not granted by the Federal Con
stitution, but "derives its source from those laws
whose authority Is acknowledged by civilised man
throughout the world."
"That Is, la other words," ■writer Mr. Prentice,
Interpreting the Chief Justice's interpretation, "the
right to engage In Interstate commerce la part oS
the Inalienable liberty which, according to the
philosophy of that' time, has a higher source than
the Constitution Itself, and whone protection is one
of the chief purposes for which government la In
stituted. Political theories have changed since this
decision," he admits, but adds, "but the Constitu
tion remains, and the rights which It was formed
to protect still have its assurance."
The. author, having intrenched Interstate com
merce behind a higher law than the Constitution,
traces the Insidious attacks made upon It by Con-
GTess, In a chapter entitled, "Extension of Federal
Power Over CMrrter*." He. follows this with a
chapter on "Federal Incorporation."
This chapter he ends with the statement that
"the authority to charter mercantile companies to
engage In commerce among tho states Is a power
which was not granted by the Constitution, which
Congress has never claimed, and which finds no
support In constitutional history."
The Sherman Anti-Trust act was, Mr. Prentlc*
declares, "the adoption by foils.! ass of the policy
of the common law to the full extent of federal
Jurisdiction, and. both the common law on the sub
ject and the extent of the federal power were well
defined and understood." He add*, however:
With th* conception of federal jurisdiction so
long accepted, and with th» meaning of the statute
adopted by all departments of government, admin
istrative officers during th« last few years have, not
been content. This Is the conspicuous feature of
present administration of the Sherman act. The
Constitution Is unaltered. The position of the Su
preme Court has not charged, hut the policy of
government, nevertheless, has been directed to ex
end federal Jurisdiction, to ln»i>.»^« new meanings
upon the utatute, and to make federal courts the
Instrument to establish this new body ot law.
Bumming up hla conclusions, Mr. Prsntlos writes;
The. great forces which guide the development of
society in the relation! of Individuals, classes and
communities to each other and to government are
beyond, control of statute, of Judicial precedent, of
public opinion Itself. We cannot now •stabllsh
laws suitable to the social organisation which shall
follow us, nor foresee the forms coming society
may nssuina. One thing, however, we may expect
that the relations of Individuals and > Ihss*s will
grow closer, that their mutual dependence will In
crease. and that the functions of government will
extend over Individual activities to a greater ex
tent than ever before.
To turn over to a single legislative body tho vast
Intricacies of social ilfe throughout tho country
that it may prepare a system applicable to' all con
ditions—to child labor In the bouth, for example,
and In the tenement* of New York— ls not to hasten
the adoption of better methods, but to place Im
portant governmental powers in the hands of those
Who can exercise them with the greatest difficulty
and with tho least knowledge of local conditions.
It is in effect, so far «* cobcerru many vital Inter
ests, to abandon the effort for good municipal and
i state government and once for all to Intrust local
fortun* and prosperity to external authority.

Are Due to Ideal* of the Age, Con
gressman Bede Tells Jewellers. ,
Congressman J. Adam Beds, of Minnesota, speak-
Ing last night at the annual dinner of the Twenty
four Karat Club, a Jeweller's trade organisation,
held at Delmonlco'f;, said that the millionaire and
the resulting problem of large fortunes had come
from the national movement for Industrial prog
ress ami commercial supremacy, It took captains
of industry to manage affairs. They were a prod
uct of the Ideas and Ideals of the age. If the
people did not want such captains Ideals should
be changed nnd another generation would see an
other class of men. If there is anything wrong In
political life In Washington, or in New York com
mercial life, he said. It Is because there if some
thing wron* in the people. Great men are the
flower of the people among whom they urn reared.
"It Is better not to solve bur problems too quickly,"
he sold. "It Is better to let the principles pink Into
the hearts of the people, after which wo can pass
legislation of some effect."
■ Referring to the presence of Rear Admiral Cogh
lan. Congressman Bede Bald be believed American
naval officers should not have to do the honors for
the nation In foreign countries out of their meagre
salaries, but there should bo some appropriation
which they could use for such purposes at their
discretion.
Congressman E. B. Vreeland expressed his
thanks to the Jewelry trade for the large chest of
silver which lie recently received from them as a
mark of their appreciation of what he did to se
cure the past-age of the (Sold and Silver Stamping
law last year. He added: "We usually find our
selves at the end of our terms of office poorer than
when we entered public life, and our only reward
is the satisfaction of having placed on the statute
looks some law of benefit to mankind."
Speaking of states' rights, he tmld that party
lines did not form cm that Issue, and If it could be
shown that any work could be best done, by th.»
federal government the best men of both parties
were willing that it should be done.
The Rev. F»r. Robert Rogers, of Brooklyn, said
that althmigli wo were simply money crasy In
thtsn^**. be nellOTed there would be a change, and
that in the future men would teach their children
the ideals of Washington and Lincoln, cf McKln
|sy and Roosevelt, rather than those ( f our mill-
Con pressman Charles A. Towne, Senator Thomas
F. Qrady, Rear Admiral Coghlan and General F.
P Grant also spoke. The last named said he had
heard so much about the coming universal peace
that he had begun to . think the profession of a
soldier was at an end. He had. therefore, come to
the Jewellers' dinner to see If he could not learn a
trade. But after hearing the Congressmen speak
be had formed the opinion that men who could
never come to a conclusion and listen to what other
men had to say would bring about wars, and that
the military profession would la- to the end of his
life at least. BssßßHtti

Look at the latest constitution of Ufa] Torls

It id rull of local le^ialation. Take the Vatessl
Statr.i Constitution. One paragraph, "Congress)
shall have the power to regulate the commerce as»
tween the. vartMsl states."
I say the courts h«iv<- the power to act under tha*
paragraph in almost any case. I do not say they
can go into the public schools, although Secretary
R.'ot does cay so. The situation in San Francisco
