THE BRONZE BEAR RETURNED
Statue Stolen From CorcOran Gallery
of Art Fifteen Years Ago.

of Art Fifteen Years Ago.
A bronze statue of bear, stolen fifteen
years ago from the Corcoran Gallery OF
Art, was returned yesterday and is now
on a small table in the main hall Of the
gallery, New York Avenue and Seven
teenth Street northwest. In wooden
box, carefully sealed and express charges
prepaid, the bronze was expressed to
Washington from Boston, Mass, without
clew to identity of the sender. 1t was
received at the gallery in good condition
and was recognized by the mark OF the
gallery as that stolen more than dec
ade ago. The value of the statue Is placed
at 5000. 1t was stolen from the old gal
lery, when it stood at Pennsylvania Ave-
nue. and Seventeenth Street northwest,
while the late William McCloud was Gu
rator. and hope of it's recovery had long
since vanished.
Frederick B. Mcguire, the present Gu
rator of the gallery, was seen at his home
last night He was gratiHed, he said. tina;
it had been returned, as il was one OF the
gifts to the gallery of the late w. w.
Corcoran, and consequently is highly
priced.
LAS l recollect the occurrence" said
Mr. Mcclure. 1.-The statue was wrenched
from table at the old gallery in Deem
Der, 1885. There was an investigation at
the time, but no clew to the bronze could
be obtained nor the identity of the thief
learned. 1t was reported at the time
that a woman had taken the statue from
the gallery beneath her cloak, but all
trace of it was lost after the THEFT"
The police were notified of the return
of the bronze last night.

THE PAPACY RELENTING
Negotiations for Removing the Ban
on the Quirinal.
The Action Conditional on the Pal
see Being No Longer the Home of
an Italian Prfnce-May Be Coded
to the Holy See-MarSherita to De-
vote Herself to Art and Literature

ROME. Dee. 15-There is good reason
for stating that negotiations are proceed
ing between the Vatican and the Italian
royal family for the removal of the ban
OF accommodation placed upon the Quiz
rinai by Pope Plus NJ and renewed by
Leo XIII because the Quirinal was taken
from the holy see. The present Pope, 1t is
understood, is willing to remove the ban
on condition that the Quirinal stall not
be the living place of any Italian prince.
This condition IL easy because as a
matter Of fact. no King or Queen OF Italy
has lived in the Quirinal for long time
bu; in wing or annex. which never
formed part Of the Quirinal, and conse-
Quently was not placed under the ban with
the main building. The latter has prac-
tically been closed except on occasions Of
Official receptions.
Moreover, the young King II is well
known. contemp!ates building an entirely
new palace in the Ludoyici quarter of the
city. The Quirinal will be completely
abandoned. and it will be surprising that
IL Is to be handed back to the holy see.
The widowed Queen Margherita Will, after
all, live in Rome. having decided upon q
life of active bencvolence as more ac-
ceptRble as form of penance and mourn
ing than conventual life. She has bought
the magnificent Piombino palace. with the
adjacent three oavilions and villa. She
hopes to make the palace a veritabIe CEN
tire OF artistic and literary life. and to
make Rome the birthplace of another
renaissance.
II is pretty well known that Queen
Margherita is a woman Of the finest cul-
ture. and Is passionately devoted TO lit
erature, music, and the fine arts. She
has written poetry. has composed good
deal OF music, and has a collection OF
paintings from her own brush. Her pres
ent ambition is TO devote her time and
money to the intellectual culture and the
artistic development of her own country
To this work she has announced that she
will devote half of her fortune. the other
half being Set aside for charity
She is not very rich, but she received
under King Humbert's will about $1,000.
600. and the state makes her a Queen
Dowager's allowance of $500 600 year.
She has already specifically set apart
$l40. 600 year to assist and reward young
workers in literature and science and art
Recently she personally consulted with
a number OF representative Italians. IL

cini. Conceivable, Giordano, and Boito;
with the poets Canducci. D'Annunzio, Pas

enthusiastically approved her design and

STEVENS FOR PRESIDENT.
I;umor That He Has Been Slated to
Succeed INGALLS,. u

There was q rurnor on the street last
night to the effect that a private wire
from New York had announced the fact
that General Manager George w. Stevens
had been slated for the presidency OF
the. Chesapeake and Ohio and would sue
ceed Mr.. ingalls, on his retirement as the
head OF the system.
This rumor, however, could not be vert-
fed Mr. Meade T.. Spcer. chief clerk
to Mr.. Stevens, stated that he knew moth
ing of the rumor or its authenticity.
The recent conference Of Mr. Ingalls,
and Mr. Stevens, however, lends color to
the report, and it seems rather a new
rumor than the revival Of the old one
The following is from the New YORK
Commercial of yesterday:
General Manager Stevens. of the Chess
areake and Ohio, is in the city for a few
days. having come from Washington,
where he was with President ingalls,. The
latest report concerning the presidency OF
this road is that when Mr.. Ingalls, is pre-
pared to retire he will certainly be sue
ceeded by Mr.. Stevens. which is a ritera-
ton OF a statement circulated not long
ago. and before Mr.. ingalls, had per-
sonally admitted that he had decided TO
resign as soon as circumstances would
permit"
Mr.. Stevens is expected to return to the
city to-day.
