NAVY PENSION DIIIs PASSED.

Washington, Feb. 20 (SpeciaD-The senate today
passed 12i pension bills all OF which had ALREADY been

amendments made: therefore, with those few eXcep-

for his approval. Where slight amendments were
made the differences between the two honScs will be
settled by conference committees. and Is safe to say
that within the next few days every one Of this largo
number of bill, in the interest Of soldiers or
their widows dependents will be before the Presl-

Among these bills is granting a pension 10

THE BRAYTON TVEs COLLECTION.

II Is seldom that private collection OF sucn vareo
interest is submitted to public inspection as toat
OF Brayton Ives, which is now exhibition In the
American Art Galleries, preparatory to its sale AZ
auction on March 3. and Z. The display may,
indeed be said to consist OF not but several, col
lections. There Is, for instance, the collection OK
books which Is famed being OF the finest ana
most valuable in America. There is superb col
lection OF porcelain. There also collections OF
Jade OF japanese swords Of japanese lacquer and OF
Chinese cloisonne enamel, every individual piece In
each one Of these collections being masterpiece.
The collection OF books and manuscr ripts, which
are 1,1OO in number include what may justly
be described as the very cream of the famous sunder
land, Hamilton Palace, Beckford, syston Park and
Woodhu libraries, which have all been dispersed by
public sale during the last half century.
The gem Of Mr.. Ivess collection Is, however, that
remarkable book, the Gutenberg Bible. This work les
already been once on exhibition at the Union League
Club when its beauties described at considerable
length in these columns. Next TO the Gutenberg
Bible the oldest printed volume in the collection is the
" Cathocon Of Balbus" Q460). Among other typo
graphical rartes may he mentioned the fest three and
the only books printed by John Of Spra, the first
printer OF Venice also the first book ever printed IN
Italy; CaxtOn's edition of IIigiens "Polychroncon,'
and many Others OF equal interest Next In importance
are the Americana At the head Of the list stands tho
copy OF Coumbus's letter I'm spanish 10 Luis de san
Angel which is asserted to be the earliest printed re-
port of Columbus's first voyage The copy of Eliots
Indian Bible is regarded by many as next in interest
TO Gutenbeg's great work.
Among the japanese swords in the collection thers
are numerous blades of beauty and great historical
interest. one sword made more than nine centu-
ries ago. and tlec are almost score OF swords dis
PLAYED which were manufactured away back In the
thirteenth century.
Among the porcelans there less than
eighteen examples of the peaclblow variety. NOt
more than hundred specimens Of this peculiar
glaze are known be in existence either in Europe
America or China. The composition Of the glaze
seems to have been known to only few persons pos
sibly enly 10 one or two, about the close Of tho
seventeenth century, and to have PEI shed with then
All modern attempts to reproduce it have failed
Rare too, and Of great beauty the specimens
of Jade. which orly mobiles Of the highest rank arc
permitted TO own in China.
In conclusion it. may be safely asserted that there is
not one bad Indifferent piece in the entire
collection.
