Paris April THE Salon of the Societe des
Artistes Francais. usually spoken of as the
Champs Elysees Salon, to distinguish 1t from
that Of the Champ de Mars. which this year is
merged in the international exhibition at the
Worlds Fair was opened yesterday in tenn
porary building in the distant Place Breteui
There are 1879 oil paintings. No artist is per-
United to exhibit more than one canvas. There
are besides profuse exhibits of statuary. water
colors. pastels drawings and miniatures. The
three salient characteristics of this years Salon
are: First the extreme leniency Of the jury
which has been particularly tender toward the
vounger generation of painters TO the detriment
~ more celebrated masters of the craft. The
result is an impression Of respectable but mo-
notonous mediocrity Second. the abundance OF
pictures painted by women. Third. the unusual
number Of foreign artists In the department
Of oil paintings alone there are ninety nine
pafnters who are citizens of the United States,
and Of these twenty-seven are women
IT may cause patriotic satisfaction to record
the fact that in the opinion of the leading
French critics some Of the best work in the
Salon is due TO these American painters. NJ.
Thiebault- Sisson. art critic of the Temps, >
frankly admits that, rule. the young Ameri-
can painters excel the young French painters
because they evince a higher conception. a
deeper concentration Of purpose greater indi-
vtduality and a broader treatment of their sub
sects NJ Charles Ponsonaille art critic of the
arToertt Journal" says that comparison Of
talents shown in this years Salon by the French
and the American painters is Enthusiastically to
the advantage of the latter, the only consola-
ton being that in nine cases out Of ten the
American or foreign painters have been edu-
Gated in the French School Of Fine Arts or in
the studios of French masters.
The picture in the Salon which the critics and
the public on Vanishing Day regarded the
most remarkable production is large canvas

NOT IN CONCERT OF THE POWERS.

MINISTER CoNGER ACTING SOLELY ON HIS
OWN RESPONSIBILITY AT PEKING.
Washington. April 1T is said at the State
Department that nothing has been heard from
Minister Conger within the last few days to in
dictate any substantial change in the situation
in ShanTung. The Minister has not informed
the Department of the reported concerted
ton of the representatives of the foreign Powers
at Picking. 1t is known here that so far the
United States Minister is concerned, nothing
has been done by him to commit the United
States Government to action in the combination
with the Powers. Mr.. Conger's instructions
able him to make strong presentation as he
may deem necessary Of the desire of his Gov
eminent that full protection should be extend
ed to American residents in China 1t
tirely competent for him to frame this demand
in strong language, and even to intimate the
intention of the United States Government to
undertake. through it's agencies. to supply
the needed protection to American citizens
should the Chinese Government fail In its duty
in that matter. In doing this Mr.. Conger might
have acted in precisely the same line as the
representatives of some of the great European
Powers at Picking, but the officials are confident
that he did not become a party to any concert
of action The United States Minister spe-
officially instructed on this point that he must
act his responsibility. and. while his
course might be parallel to that followed by
the other Ministers in Picking he must under no
circumstances join with them in concert.
Just how far the Minister has gone in the
direction indicated is at present unknown here
Naval officers do not believe that he has yet
summoned naval force from Admiral Wat
sons command to guard his Legation at Picking
for in such they assume that the naval
commander addressed would have informed the
Navy Department by cable The Minister ap-
pears to have anticipated the necessity for
something of the kind however. for month
ago he suggested to the State Department the
expediency of having a warship from Admiral
Watsons fleet sent to a point near Picking
