Of slackening. Report said that no less
than 81, 900 subjects had been sent in, and

'.Blow, Blow, Thou Wintry Winds" Orch
ardson's 'Napoleon at Longwood," Pettie's

be selected The two first mentioned take

execution a small study called "Clytic. !"
Alma Tadema has two portraits. that of

An Artistic Production Rejected by Salon
Jury for Its Nudity.
LONDON, April 30-A wave of propriety
is passing over the Paris salon. Despite M.
Bonnat's protest the jury rejected a pic
ture of the nude entitled ''Baig-
neuses," by regular contributor,
M. la Lyre, who has already sold various
pictures. to the State and to provincial
museums The artistic merit of the paint
ing was not questioned by the jury. NJ Ia
Lyre was indignant, and sent the picture to
the opposition salon in the Champs de Mars,
where it was accepted.
On Monday last there opened at No. %
Bond street, London, a noteworthy art ex-
hibition. This consists of series of paint
ings executed by Watanabe Seitei, Japan
ese, who is the first of that nationality to
receive commission to form a Bond street
exhibition. The artist is native Of Toxic
AT an early age he displayed talent for
drawing, and so engrossed did he at times
become over his pencils that be was often
reproached for neglecting his duties.
Finally an elder brother had him pnt in the
studio of Kikuchi Yosai. Here his ability
was soon recognized, and in 1873 he was
enabled to visit France. In that year some
of his studies were exhibited at the Inter-
national Exhibition and met with much
praise. In 1887 he was selected to do the
ceiling panels for the Imperial Palace at
Toxic. He has been the recipient of many
medals in Japan and in other countries.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, April 3O.-As usual, the
opening of the annual exhibition Of the So
cietv of American Artists, to which the
public will be admitted Monday, has proved
much the most interesting event of the
year. And never before has interest meant
so large measure of hearty admiration.
The average of excellence is distinctly
higher than in any past year, although last
year it would have seemed ungrateful in
deed to ask for general improvement. And
yet quite as many pictures as before stand
out as distinctly above the average.
Conspicuous among these is Mr.. Brush's
beautiful genre picture, called ''The Por-
trait" Even those who cannot fully ap-
preciate its admirable execution will delight

LONDON, April So.-[Copyright. 1-Sev.
sral members of the Government who have
been on the stump this week have made
statements which, if taken literally, would
warrant the belief that q general election
will not take place until next year, but an
nouncements as to the course of public
business made by Mr. Balfour in the House
of Commons show pretty conclusively that
Parliament will be dissolved within a
couple of months 1t is known that at the
last Cabinet council general agreement to
dissolve this year was arrived at, and the
actual date will probably be decided upon
at the next meeting of the Ministers.
Meanwhile, Mr. Balfour is pressing for
ward, with as much skill as he possesses, all
necessary business and comparatively non-
contentious bills Tojudge from his methods
of procedure, he has decided to drop the
Irish education bill as well as the Irish
local government bill, together with half a
dozen more or less important measures
mentioned in the Queens speech at the
opening of the session.
Balfour Not Yet Out OF Hope.
Mr.. Balfour will not yet admit that the
Government has abandoned hope of con-
ferring local government on Ireland-in-
deed. he has given notice to move the sec
ond reading of the bill the middle of May,
not, however, in the belief that the bill can
be passed into law, but with the intention
of provoking Liberal obstruction and ap-
pealing to the country thereupon. Attempts
are made almost daily to raise confusing
side issues The foregoing programme, which
The DISPATCH set forth months ago, re-
mains practically unaltered.
Contrary to general expectation, Mr..
Gladstone came to town Wednesday in
time to vote against the woman's suffrage
bill, and thereby to add further fuel to the
burning wrath of the advanced females
Lady Florence Dixie was unable, owing
to alleged ill-health, to attend the meeting
in St James Hall, Tuesday evening, and
in her absence the chair was taken by an
obscure male person.
A Riotous Display Of Different Opinions.
The meeting, instead of being, as the
bills announced, "a great demonstration
in favor of women's suffrage" developed
into riotous display OF hopeless differences
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-05-01

in it, for the subject is as attractive as the
treatment. The artist who sits on the floor
prepared to draw the family group before
him, the mother who, seated on chair,
holds her blonde baby's head against her
shoulder; the sturdy, shy, blonde little boy
who leans against her knee, and the moon
faced servant maid behind her-each is q
portrait OF the utmost individuality and
charm. And this wonderful group of por-
traits has been made into q wonderful little
picture by exquisite arrangement and
drawing, and deep, rich, glowing harmony
of color. Perfect is big word to use, but
I am not bit afraid to say that this is a
perfect piece of work-perfect in excellence
and perfect. too, in tender charm.
A Painter in the Wrong Path.
It cannot fail to be contrasted, and,
think, in somewhat wondering way, with
the picture called "Ossian" by the same
artist It is hard to believe that they were
both painted by one hand and practically at
one time. In the s'Osslan" we see the half
nude, long-bearded old poet touching his
harp for the delight of group of half-nude
barbarians seated in woodland glen.
Given the trying circular shape of the can
vas, it is very well composed, and OF course
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-05-01

Mr.. Brush could not help drawing with ac-
curacy and completeness. But here his
painting, as such, has no charm, his figures
are not convincingly or Interestingly char
acterized, external nature is rendered with
out atmosphere and without beauty of color
or clear expression of textures, and the
picture, as whole, lacks vitality and
beauty, and has manufactured, artificial,
academic air.
1t seems ungracious to speak such words
about Mr.. Brush with so exquisitely COM
plete an example of every pictorial ex-
cellence as the "Portrait" to rebuke them.
But they are spoken to show that, well as
Mr.. Brush has often done before, he has
never done nearly so well as in the ''Por-
trait, +" and to explain why everyone there
fore feels that he has now found his right
path. In future he cannot always keep on
painting his own wife and children; nor is
he likely often to find women and children
of such rare beauty as theirs. But he can
paint real things instead of imagined ones;
warm living things instead of dead and dull
ones He can paint with his heart and soul
instead of with his archaeological fancy; and
it must be that, SO doing, he will continue
to paint his best.
