the Corcoran G.Hjery of Art last night to
enjoy a private view of an exhibition of
paintings by the artists Of Washington %
for which invitations had been extended
by the trustees The hail of sculpture and
the galleries. both on the first and second
floor. were filled with promenaders. made
up OF society people, artists, and art lovers
generally. who studied the pictures or
strolled about listening to a succession Of
inspirating selections from the Third Cav
airy Orchestra from Fort Myer.
At about $3.50 o'clock Senator Chauncey
N. Depew appeared at the head of the
grand stairway and on behalf Of Mr.. JEFF
ferson selgman. Of New York, presented
to the gallery the portrait Of Gen. L. s
Grant. by Mr. A. Muller Try. When the
enthusiasm elected by the address and the
unwilling of the painting, which. until
then. had rested against the wall yelled
by the sta rsand Stripes, the crowd that
had surged about the steps dispersed to
make the rounds of the works on view.
The place of honor in the new hemi-cycle
gallery was given to Prince Troubetskoy,
whose collection included a splendidly
realistic portrait of Count Cassini, the
Russian Ambassador, and on the opposite
wall hung Guthriges grand allegOrical pic
ture from the Paris salon. Other artists
represented in the hemi-cycle were Hink-
ley. Uhl Macdonald Weyl Brooke. Powell,
Moser, Holmes. Helmick. Andrews, end

room. but. to their surprise and pleasure,
the galleries upstairs were taxed to &C
commOdate the overflow.

cess OF the exhibition is almost entirely
due. stood in Statuary Hall, near the stair
way. to receive the guests. With her were

New EorI>'S Comptroller scores the
Davis school Inv.

NEW YORK. May 4.-Comptroller Coler
vigorously attacked the Davis School law
today. In a statement the comptroller
says:
The statements made that the increase
under the Davis bill will be only eleven or
twelve hundred thousand dollars are abso-
lutely false. a conservative estimate Of the
real increase is So, 600, 600 and it will prob
ably reach very much more. and this with
out giving new teacher or providing for
the accommodation Of a single new pupil
The taking away from this department
OF the auditing OF the bills Is nothing
short OF political crime The subordinates
Of the Board OF Education can now pay
any price they please for scissors or any
thing else. Money is to be taken from
the city treasury in a lump sum to be re-
deposited and drawn upon by men under
no bond and to suit the accommodation
Of supply agents. who were behind this fea-
ture OF the bill.
Politics follow opportunity for Doodle
and this bill instead Of separating politics
from education viii make the school sys-
TEN the centre OF one continuous struggle
for a share OF the spoils. The future will
more than prove the case Of this depart
meut"
Governor Roosevelt signed the bill yes
terday.

GENERAL OTIS RELIEVED.
Macarthur TO Command the Division
of the PhiIippines.

OF the philippines
The following statement was issued by
the War Department yesterday afternoon:
In accordance with General Otis re-
quest to return to the United States, the
War Department orders of today relieve
General Otis. to take effect tomorrow. May
., the date fixed by General Otis for his
sailing
Maj. Gen. Arthur Macarthur succeeds
General Otis in command Of the Division
Of the Philippines. Brevet Major General
Wheaton succeeds General Macarthur as
commander Of the Department Of Northern
Luzon."
This order followed closely upon a cable
gram from General Otis. received yester-
day. asking for immediate relief from COM
mand of the United States forces in the
Philippines.
It is presumed that General Otis will
sail for san Francisco on the transport
Meade. which was ordered to leave Manila
on May l. but has been held since.
The suddenness OF the order combined
with the fact that it was made upon the
urgent appeal Of General Otis, contributes
to the rumor that Otis does not care TO
meet the Philippine Commission and to
answer possibly embarrassing questions
that the commission might PROFOUND. 1t
is also said that the operations in Luzon
during the past few months have been IN
sa tisfactOry to the Secretary of War, and
this FASTENED compliance with the gen
erals request.

THE NEW DISTRICT BOARD.
Mr.. Mscfnrland's Friends Say He
VIII Accept the Presidency.

VIII Accept the Presidency.
It was stated by friends OF Henry B. F.
mcfarland yesterday that he viii not only
accept the presidency Of the Board Of
District Commissioners at the reorganiza-
ton next week. but that he considers the
position his by right. representing, as he
does the dominant political power. Mr.
Macfarland's friends further stated that
according to all precedent the presidency
of The board belongs to the Commissioner
whose political faith is the same as that
of the National Administration.
In their opinion Mr.. mcfarland has all
along understood that the position Of
president of the board went with the
appointment. II is believed that when
the board is reorganized and Mr.. Ross
and Mr. Macfarland have been duly in
stalled in office, Mr Ross viii nominate
Nj Mcfarland for the presidency and
Mr. Macfarland will accept.
A good deal OF speculation is being in
dulged In with reference to a possible
redivision Of the departments over which
the members Of the new board VIII have
personal supervision. Il is known that
Mr. Mcfarland has preferences along the
line OF charities and the public schools.
There has been no discussion Of the mat
ter between Messrs. Ross and Mcfarland.
and there will be none until the new board
is organized and they are brought face to
face with the question In a practical way.
Neither Mr.. Ross nor Mr.. Macfarland has
given the public any iutlmation Of his
views in this connection, both being Of
the opinion that it would not be proper
for them to discuss such matters prema-
turely.
Mr. Macfarland has indicated that he
will visit the District Building, probably
on Monday. TO pay his respects to the
present Commissioners, and TO arrange
with them for taking UP the duties OF his
Office next Wednesday

Postmaster General Smith brought up
the question as to the jurisdiction OF his

unanimous opinion that the clause of the

island settled this point.
Attorney General Griggs is not yet ready
to announce appointments for either Ha-
