BOUGHT BY MORGAN.
He Purchases the Famous Garland
 Collection of Porcelains.

New York March s.-Fears that the fa- nous Garland collection of Oriental DOT celains valued at $1.0OO,00o which was re- gently sold would be taken to Europe, have been set aside by the announcement that the curios have been purchased by ;. Pierpont Morgan. The price is un- known. It will remain for the present at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as MT, Morgan's loan, instead of that of the James A. Garland estate.
 The report that the Garland collection, for many years notable treasure in the Metropolitan Museum, had been sold by MT. Garlands heirs to a dealer in an- tiques was no surprise to those whose duty it has been to keep track of the va rious collections on loan in the museum.
 The Metropolitan had every reason to believe that MT. Garland would bequeath it to the museum; it was understood that he had made his will to that effect. But when he died it appeared that the first will was no longer valid and the children had inherited the porcelain as part of the assets of the great estate.
 These facts became more generally known when the heirs offered the por- celaine to the museum at certain price and the museum declined to buy for lack of funds.
