Mr. Morgan's art treasures are left to his son, with the suggestion that they be so disposed of as to make them permanently available "for the Instruction and pleasure of tho American people." to his executors, who are his son, John Plcrpont Morgan, Jr., his two sons-in-law. William l'lerson Hamilton nnd II. L. Snt trrlee, nnd his friend, Lewis Cass Led yard, he gives careful directions under many clauses as to alternative courses of proredure. DISPOSAL OP TREASURES. It Is to be noted also that his grandson, Junius Spencer Morgan, Jr., now 21 years old and a student nt Harvard, Is repeat edly nominated to take up Important duties In the event of the death of his father, John Plerpont Morgan, Jr. In this city the question most frequent ly nsked by leading citizens and learned societies has been that as to the disposi tion of Mr. .Morgan's wonderful collection of pl tures and other nrt treasures. Mr. Morgan makes perfectly plain what his own hopes on this point have been, and yet leaves his son, who Is his residuary legatee, entire freedom In the matter, us. Ing the following slgnllcnnt language: "I hnve been greatly Interested for many yfars In gathering my collection of paint ings, miniatures, porcelains and other works of art, and It had been my desire nnd Intention to make some suitable dis position of them or of such portions of them ns I might determine, which would render them permanently mailable for the instruction nnd pleasure of the American people. Lack of the necessary time to devote to It has As yet prevented my car rying this purpose Into effect. "I'nless I shall accomplish It. or make some disposition of these collections In my lifetime, they will pass to my sou, John Plerpont Morgan, Jr., or to his son, Junius Silencer Morgan, Jr., under the foregoing clauses of this will whereby I dispose of my residuary estate. "Should either my said son or my said grandson thus succeed to the ownership of these collections, I hope he will be able, In such manner ns he shnll think best, to make a permanent disposition, or from time to time permanent dispositions, of them or of such portions of them as lie may determine, which will be n substnn tlnl carrying out of the Intentions which I have thus cherished, "It would be agreeable to me to have the 'Morgan Memorial,' which forms a portion of the property of the Wndsworth Athenetim at Hartford, Conn., utilized to effectuate a part of this purpose. "I do not, however, by the expression of these wishes Intend to Impose upon my said son, or my said grandson, any dutv or obligation, legal or moral, nor to quall- i), in nny manner or In any degree, his absolute and unqualified ownership of snld collections, should they pass to him under this will." PUBLIC CIIAHITAItLn REQUESTS. The public charitable bequests nre, as was predicted by many of those conversant with hi-! immense benefactions made in his lifetime, comparatively small, and nre In tho direction of those objects to which Mr. Morgan's be-ncfnctlonj; ore already well known. For Instance. In the case of the greRt Ijlngln hospital In New York, to which, years ago, Mr. Morgan gave more than $1, 2.10,000, he uses the following language: "Without Imposing any duty, trust or obligation upon my residuary legatee, I re quest that he continue, so long ns In his Judgment the same shall he necessary for lis support, the same assistance which I have been In the habit of giving during my lifetime to the Society of the Tylng-ln Hospital of tho city of New Tork. This annual gift hero alluded to U known ns having been $100,000. It l worthy of note thnt the will was executed ns lato ns January 4 laHt, nnd a codicil was attached January 8, the day before Mr. Morgan took lenvo of America on the trip abroad from which he never returned. When ha was on tho witness stand la Washington u few weeks before his death, Mr, Morgan made several expressions in dicating his cpnUdenco In his business partners. This feellug Ih apparently re iterated In articles In tho will, "It has frequently happened that Be. curltles, real estuto and other property be longing to or connected with my business firm of J, P. Morgan & Co., and my former firm of .1, S. Morgan tc Co., have been taken or stood In my name. I therefore direct and empower my said executnrs nnd trustees to nsslgn, convey nnd transfer to said firms respectively, or to their respective nominee or nominees, nny se curities, real estate or property standing In my nnmo which all my partners of said llrnis respectively me surviving shnll unite In declaring In writing to bo tho property of or connected with the business of said firms respectively, nnd I nlao direct my said executors and trustees to nrcept, with out question, as evidence of my Interest In either of said firms, nnd of the busi ness profits nnd assets of the same, such written statements thereof ns mny bo mndo to them from time to (lino by my mi Id surviving pnrlners," GIVES WIDEST LATITCDE, ffo lila ojtcgutora Air, aortaii ijlyca the- widest latitude, directing thnt nn security shall be required of any of them: giving them full power to sell and convey all property, whether real or personal, belong ing to his estate; to sell securities and re Invest the monies held under the trusts of the will, etc. Mr. Morgan's forethought Is again shown In a particular provision, the lack of which often hampers executors In the dis charge of their duties, and which. In tins case, authorizes the Morgan executors within their discretion, to Join In and car ry out auy plan of reorganization In which nny of Mr. Morgan's securities may b" concerned. In making a bequest to Dr. James W. Markoe. Mr. Morgan paid this tribute: "I make this provision for the benellt of Dr. Markoe and his wife in recogni tion of our long friendship and his de. votlon for many years of almost his en tire time and energy to the service of the Lying In hospital, an Institution In which I have been greatly Interested." Mr. Morgan's sentiment for a few of his old and Intimate friends Is shown In the clause which provides thnt there shall be bequeathed "to each member of the Corsair club at the time of my death, as a souvenir of myself and ns a token of my personnl affection for them, a piece of silver of the value of ? 1.000, to be se lected and purchased for the purpose by the executors of my will."

Hefore dor-lug her remarks Mrs. Story Introduced .Mrs. Charles B, Bryan, who withdrew as a contestant to-day before tho third ballot watt begun. Mrs, Bryan had been known as an administration ; ympnthlzer, but she pledged loyalty nnd support to the Incoming administration. She was followed by tho new general oirieors, and all pledged their support to Mrs. Story, The election res-ulted in a partial vic tory for the old administration in that moro than half of the general officers nnd all of tho new vlce-prosidents-gcneral are known ns supporters of Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Story did not place a com pleto ticket of vice-presidents-general In tho field and nono of tho four sho put forward was elected.
