Many Calls ror Cruisers.

During the past six months the demands
ior cruising vessels have been many and
urgent. There have been resolutions cali
ing Tor vessels to protect American inter
esis In Nicaragua, Guatemala, Costa Rica,
honduras, Argentena and Brazil, while
Inc condition of affairs in Honolulu has
required The constant presence Of one or
more ships. With ali these calls upon our
navy it became necessary, in order to make
up sufficient fleet to patrol the Behring
sea under the modus vivendi agreed upon
with Great Britain, to detail TO that ser
wee one vessel from the fish commission
ana three from the revenue marine.
Construction Somewhat slow.
Progress in the construction OF new ves-
seis has not been as rapid as was antici.
prted. There have been delays in the
completion of unarmored vessels, but for
the most part they have been such as are
constantly occurring even in countries
having the largest experience in naval
ship building. The most serious delays,
however, have been in the work upon ar
mored ships. The trouble has been the
failure of contractors to deliver armor rs
agreed. Difficulties seem now. however,
TO have been all overcome, and armor il
being delivered with satisfactory prompt,

The president recommends that no new
vessels be commenced until some of those
already under way are completed.

The Colombian government has refused to
surrender Edward Fcrroni to the Italian
government. Italy asks for the extradition
of Ferroni upon warrant for his
arrest issued by criminal court on
a charge of forgery in connection
with the late bank frauds. The Colombian
secretary of state bases the refusal to sur
render Ferroni upon the ground that he
had not been convicted of crime, when he
fed from Italy, and that it would be i'm
proper now to deliver him to the Italian
authorities upon charges which have not
been established by evidence. This view is
not sustained by the Italian minister who
is quite indignant at the result of the de-
mand for Fcrroni's surrender, and has asked
his government to cable further instructions
in regard to the matter. NJ. Name, hquida-

MEISSOSIER's ART.
How the Great Painter Worked Out Ills
Immortal Pictures.

ICOpHrt Intel 1879 by james GDr1yn Bennett.l
PARIS, March 5.-INew York Herald
Cable-Special to TIE BEE. THE opening
of the exhibition of the works of Meissonier
occurred today. Only portion were on
view and the exhibition was failure, owing
to the embodiment of the painters widow
with his son, who refused TO participate
and organized an auxiliary outside of the
regular one. In the gallery of Georges Petit
there are l4O0 pictures, designs and
sketches. An mpression-resultng from a
profound admiration for the old masters
certainly existed that we have no more tai
ent in composition. But there never was u
painter who was greater worker or more
conscientious or more respected for his art
and his undoubted talent than Mcissonier
The interest in the exhibition arises from
the fact that il shows the way in which Mcis-
sonier worked The details Of the pictures
how they We're prepared ana shipped are
shown. For example there are more than
twenty studies in the trumpcter who sounds
"Niyel Empereurn in the celebrated paint
ing "lSO7' Meissonier did not PANT a single
button without having studied it from all
sides. His enemies say that Meissonier
failed in the portraits Of the two little girls
Perhaps but it is true that it is the only
picture which does not sound a deep note. 1t
proves that McissOuier, when he desired it,
could see only the cold exterior OF his models,
but when he wished he knew how TO put soul
into them.
After this exhibition believe that Meis-
siOuer is superior to his great German rival
Menzel. They both have a profound respect
for nature and art, but Meissiouer goes fur
ther His paintings Of Napoleon l. will live
longer than the Frederick II. Of Mcneil

belonging to the Luxembourg and "lSl4,"

OF the Magazin de Louvce, up TO the sketch
he was preparing when he died. But l wish
that every true lover of art could have the
pleasure of seeing these sketches and
studies Then he would understand how
Meissonicr will live among the eight or ten
great painters Of the century.

1t is Likely to BE of More Interest Than at

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 5.-The senate
special session tomorrow at noon. Usually
these special sessions are parfunctOry and
formal, the business being confined TO the re
ceptiou Of nominations, beginning with the
cabinet nominations and winding up when
the places within the gift of the chief eXecu-
tive of first grade Importance, such as the
heads Of departments of governmental ser
wee and the foreign ministries are filed, but
because of the peculiar conditions of affairs
so far as the composition of the senate Itself
is concerned, with the doubtful standing of
the senators who hold appointments from the
governors of their state instead of creden-
tialS issued by the legislatures and
further, because of the announced
intention of Senator Stewart of
Nevada to precipitate silver discussion by
the introduction of a resolution of inquiry
directed TO the new secretary of the treas
ury, il may be that this special session will
assume a degree of importance and excite
such popular interest as has never been be-
