the tarif-has SO far estopped
Mr. Morgan from transporting his
art objects tothis country. If hs
waste give his treasures 70 pub
lie institution they could be brought
in free of duty.
It was learned yesterday from
one of Mr.. Mergan's friends that
the ambition OF Mr.. Morgan is to
create a great art institution which
shall be monumental in scope and
which shall contain the very cream
of the available art objects of the
world. The addition which Mr..
Morgan is now making to his
home on Madison avenue and
Thirty-sixth street will contain but
a small part of his art collections.
This much can be said defnite-
ly," said one of Mr.. Morgan's
friends, "and that is Mr.. Morgan
is by nature one of the most phi
lanthropic men in the world. He
has not made his vast collections
with view to keeping them seclud-
ed for the personal enjoyment of
himself and bis frierds, but he
cherishes the ambition of making
his collection ths most beautiful
and valuable in the world.
"Mr. Morgan is today the great.
est art collector in the world. He
has spent more money for art OBJ
jects probably than the dozen other
most lavish collectors in the world
combined. He is a man of rare
taste and expert judgment. AS an
art critic he has few equals, and he
has gathered together hundreds of
marvelously beautiful things.
1T is the desire OF the owner of
these objects that they shall be
made available for the American
people. He is planning to house
all his collections in some one place
and it is very likely that the great
museum of art which he will estab-
lish will be offered as a gift to the
American nat:on, or be made the
foundation of great national art
gallery"
Mr.. Morgan's visits to Europe ev-
cry summer have been devoted
quite as much to,the purchase of art
objects as to the transaction Of his
banking business. In the last sew
en- years he is believed to have pur-
chased fully 81, 600, 900 worth of art
trt asures in Europe.
Berlin, April 3 Because Baron
Won Sternberg, Germany's ambas-
sador to the United States, went to
the Washington depot to say good
bye to his friend, President Roose-
welt, the German newspapers wax
wroth at their representative, and
accuse him of several kinds of be-
trayal of the fatherland.
To the American residents in the
city the situation is rather funny.
Fhe German Newspapers, at least |
the larger and most influential, this
morning attack Baron Won Stern
berg unmercifully. They charge !
him with trailing the dignity of the
empire in the dust of Republican
sm. They declare that he has been
of his duty as the repre-
of the 'greatest power in
Europe" and has deliberately SUBJ
scted the Kaiser and the Kaiser's
ubject's to humiliation.
The tone of the German press on
his really trivial incident is strongly
ondemnatory of the baron. The
rticles, evidently inspired, say that
7on Sternberg, in going to the de-
'ot to say goodbye to Roosevelt,
vas servile. He is represented as
trucking to the president Of q
aob."
the newspapers assume lofty
one of injured dignity and declare
hat the Kaiser has been made RI
iculous by this friendly act Of his
representative at Washington.
Washington, D. c., April al
udge Charles H. Corey, of Port
and, Or, has been recommended
y Senator John H. Mitchell, Sena-
or Charles w. Fulton and Con-
ressman J. N. Williamson as the
uccessor of Ex-Governor P. Lord,
rho is now serving as United States
to the Argentine republic.
