DELHI. Dec 3O.-This was the second
day of the ceremonies Of the coronation
durbar. at which King Edward IN to be
proclaimed Emperor of India. Lord Curzon
the Viceroy Of India, carried out the pro.
gramme for to-day by opening the Indian
Arts Exhibition In the presence Of the Duke
and Duchess Of Connaught and q brilliant
gathering Of nativ, p ''nces
Lord Curzon made a noteworthy speech
on the decadence of Indian native arts
He deplored that native taste was declining
and that many modern models were debased
1t was in the hope Of arresting the progress
Of decay that the exhibition had been or.
ganized. He appealed to native artists
and their patrons to study and initiate the
beautiful specimens Of the past collected at
the exhibition.
They were witnessing in India one aspect
Of a process that was going on throughout
the world. which long ago had exiting uished
the manual industries Of Great Britain
and was rapidly extinguishing those OF
China and Japan. Nothing could stop it,
because it WAS inevitable in an age which
wanted things cheap and did not mind
their being ugly; which cared much for
comfort and Little for beauty: which was
seeking something new or strange.
1t was certain that IL many old Indian
arts and handicrafts were to be revived
and placed in a dourshing condition II
could only he done by the patronage OF the
Indian chiefs, the aristocracy and cultured
persons, but so long as these preferred to
fill their palaces with flaming Brussels car
pet. cheap British furniture, Italian mo-
saics. French oleographs. Austrian lustres
and German brocades there was not much
hope
Lord Curzon said that he did not mean
to specially reproach the East Indians for
their pursuit Of foreign goods-matters
were just as bad in Great Britain; but he
wished to impress upon his hearers that
support Of native art must come from
India. Outside patronage alone could not
support it. He was convinced that in an
artistic sense India was not dead. She
could still imagine and create.
The art collection Is the result OF a pro-
longed and careful research. 1t includes
priceless brocades, enamels gold and silver
plate. carpets woven to order for Moguls
and Emperors. jewelry from the treasure
houses OF Hindoo Rajahs and exquisite
carvings in wood, marble and ivory One

Work by non-union men on the interior re-
pairs Of the City Hall was stopped at o. clock

Cantor, whom the labor delegates threat
ened with their vengeance on Monday II
he didn't do as they wanted him to do.
Inside the City Hall is a forest Of scat

cement and marble and the work Of the de-
partments housed there is greatly ham

dom. but President Cantor's order to the
contractors to cease work was peremp-
tory. His excuse was that Ryan d Meier
ran, the contractors, have not lived up to
the specifications Of the contract.
Mr.. Cantor n the arbitrator selected to
settle the disputes between the contractors
and their striking union workmen. The
walking delegates who saw Mr.. Cantor on
Monday said after the interview that they
were willing TO consent TO arbitration to
get their demands, but that unless those
demands were acceded to there would be
trouble for the contractor and work would
be stopped in the City Hall within twenty.
four hours. Yesterday Mr.. Cantor, the
arbitrator. ordered the work stopped.
To reporters Mr.. Cantor explained that
the stoppage Of the work had nothing to
do with the labor trouble He had ordered
Consulting Architect Aiken to examine the
work and to report to him II the terms q
the contract were being followed. Mr..
Aiken's report had been received yesterday
and 1t showed that much OF the work was OF
an inferior quality and not In accord
with the specifications. So he ordered
the contractors to cease work pending an
investigation.
Mr.. Cantor refused to give out the archi-
tect's report. He said he wished to wait for
| a more detailed one before making public
Mr. Aiken's opinions.
The contractors openly sco6ed at the
sincerity OF Mr.. Cantor's contention that he
is acting only for the best interests Of the
city. Matthew Ryan said last night:
Mr.. Cantor has taken advantage Of q
few technicalities to hamper US In our
work. We have lived up to our contract, as
We will be able to prove. As Q matter Of
