According to the successive reports,
says the Tribune, regarding that elias
tic treaty signed at San SleIano. the
New Turkey that is to come forth from
the smoke of battle will be power of
moderate extent and weak resources. 10
Asia it will retain Erzerum and the tract
of barren, unproductive territory extend
ing thence to the Bosphorus. In this wide
domain IT will have no great fortress, no
important city, no port, except Treblzond
and Snope. which can hope for CONNER
cial prosperity. The Porte will simply
continue to msgovern an idle, shiltless
population, less disposed than ever to sub
nit to the tax-colector's exactions. In
Europe, the Ottoman Government will
hold direct control only over that part of
Roumeia which will remain to it when
the vague terms of the treaty are carried
into effect, and the Porte has ceased to
WELD territory in return for concessions of
more imme diate importance. Turkish
rule may in the end be acknowledged
some leagues northward OF Adrianople,
but it will have lost its arrogance. and
will be tempered by the proximity OF Bull
garia, where Russian influence will long
survive the Muscovite occupation. The
Ottoman Power has in fact virtually ceased
to exist. Ii will henceforth correspond
in political rank with those East Indian
provinces where native ruler governs so
long AS he oheys The conqueror's will.

Senator Wadleigh, of New Hampshire
has written letter in which he takes the
position that the State Legislature to be
chosen in November next is the only one
which can elect his successor. The
change in the constitution Of the State
providing for biennial sessions has caused
doubt on this matter, and il is understood
that the democrats, if they should carry
the Legislature next Tuesday, will pro-
coed to elect a Senator at its meeting in
June. Mr.. Wadleigh "fully believes"
that the republicans will carry both cleo
tions.

)ur Art Inhibition.

Our Art Exhibition.
To enter the exhibition room in Central Block
is like stepping into studio of of the old
Masters the walls filed with the faces. forms and
fancies Of the teeming brains OF Raphael, Mich.
Angelow, Rubens. Durer, Memhng and innu-
merable Others from the earliest Greek art to that
Of the present dsv.
From the center of the room the lovely face
of the holy mother and child look calmly down
giving the very expression of the original Raphael
as it hangs in the Dresdeu gallery.
Looking at us from the right are the haunting
eyes Of Da Niucis', Mona Liza, or La
Joconde as she is often called. She famous
beauty of her time, and we even now feel her
power we are irresistbly brought again and
again before her, until we end by thinking the ar
fist repaid for his four years unsati7ac Glory toll,
in suboidiDation TO the fascination of the crea
ton of his genius.
One can see here the complete set OF Mich.
Angelow's frescoes from the Sstine chapel the
wonder full figure of Adam, the creation of Eve,
and the Sybils and Prophets in all their grandeur,
and this, too, without twisting ones neck out of
shape, as is necessary in looking at the originals
which decorate the ceiling of the chapel where
the Pope, Leo XIII, has just been crowned.
Then among the modern pictures is by
Kuaus the Dusseldorf painter, of the Holy Fam
lily, the sweet jewish faced mother sitting with
the child IN her lap. gazing Into his face with a
look of awe at its wOndious beauty, for only the
child sees the angel visitors VINO comes tumbling
out of the clouds, fairly dancing with joy, to
greet the little Christ child, while the first conner
stands tip toe, with chubby hands elapsed, as
he looks with alteration into the face of his little
Lord. For the original of this picture the En-
press of Prussia paid one hundred and TWENTY
five thousand dollsrs 10 gold.
Meissonniers 1907 is here, representing cav
airy charge before Napoleon; the original was
one Of MIR. Astor's last purchases, bought for
eighty thousand dollars in currency. But we
could pass days here and not see half of the in
teresting things in the superb collection which
will remain for few days longer with our for
