HAY GET ART TREASURES.
American Gallery Likely to he EN-.

h nitary Of Vatican, ,i5 IT.

Negotia tions are pending for the
transfer to America Of an important
private European art gallery, which
sis said by those who are we'll in
formed in art: matters to be worth
81, 000, 600. The owner SIS reported to
be one Of the functionaries of the
vatican, who has spenta lifetime col
Letting rare paintings and sculpture,
and it is said the one desire of his
closing years is to dispose of it so it
will remain as a collection in some
museum or gallery and not be scat
tered. = g.. ~'''@@.<-ss
In order that this mil ht be done a
dignitary of the Roman Catholic
church was sent to this country to ne
gotdate for the sale of this collection.
This ecclesiast arrived here recently,
bringing with him 40 photographs Of
the finest specimens in the collection.
Mr.. Rogers recent munifcent be-
quest to the Metropolitan Museum of
Art made it seem likely that <his col
lection would come to New York, but,
owing to the fact that the bequest will
not be available for some time, this
has been found impractical BILE. Unless
some philanthropist comes to the res
cue of New York the collection may 20
to Philadelphia, Boston, Washington
or Chicago.
Dean George F. Comfort, of SYRIA
cuse university, who is conversant with
all the details of negotiations for pur-
chase of the collection, said the other
might that the transaction had not
been closed, but it was one of the most
important ever conducted for the ben
eft of American art.
