MONTE CARLO, May 6.-The recent

The place was tastefully decorated

The prettiest carriage was occupied

BERLIN, May 6.-American univer-
sity professors and the universities of
oxford and Cambridge in their official
capacity have cabled congratulations
to the faculty of Goettingen university
upon the latter's open letter to DR..
Studt, Prussian minister of public in
struction, protesting against the minis
ter's treatment of universities and
students.
Fifteen German universities and
technical institutions have also identi-
fled themselves with Goettingen's ac-
tion.
The controversy turns upon the
liberty of students to make demonstra-
tions of political character, such as
telegraphing their sympathies to the
German students of the University of
Innsbruck when the riots between them
and the Italians occurred, and also to
the Russian students in their efforts for
DR.. Studt tries to suppress all such
common activity of German students
as body, and in order to carry out his
policy he issued decree on March 16
requiring students of any university to
get the permission of the minister OF
public instruction for organizing a gen.
eral committee to represent their in
terests, and also for the bylaws
adopted by such organization.
The struggle between the ministry
and the students was intensified by the
refusal of the students associations to
recognize Catholic students societies
as entitled to recognition on the general
committee upon the ground that Il
would be introducing confessional con-
troversies into university life.
Upon the same issue DIR. Studt re-
Gently dissolved the students committee
of the Charlottenburg Technical uni
versity. This action has given fresh
impulse to the movement for so-called
academic liberty, and the executive
committee of the League of German
University Students has called an eX-
traordinary meeting at Weimar on May
10 in connection with the centenary
celebration of Schillers death, (which
will take action in support of the Goet-
tingen professors position.
The latters letter evidently already
has had strong effect upon the minis
try Of public instruction. Semi official
press notices indicate that DR.. Studt
proposes to rehear the whole matter,
with a view of adopting a different
standpoint.

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, May 6.--Sargents portrait
group of the family of the duke of
Marlborough completely dominates the
Royal Academy exhibition. 1t was sur
rounded during the first private view
by dense throng, and 1t is expected a
special railing will have to be put up
before 1t when the exhibition Is opened
to the public.
It is a group suggesting rather the
Van Dyke manner of composition, and
will be perfectly in keeping with the
famous family portraits of that period
already at Blenheim. The duke is
shown attired in the dark blue robes of
the Order of the Garter, standing at
the left of the picture, his hand un-
covered, holding naked sword with its
point resting on the ground, while one
foot rests on a higher step, on which
the duchess stands with their eldest boy
between her and the duke. also grasp
ing the handle of the dukes sword. The
boy, exquisitely costumed in a dress of
the Louis XVI period, looks very hand
some, strongly resembling his grand
father, w. K. Vanderbilt.
The duchess, who towers above the
duke Though the painter ingeniously
tries to account for the disparity in
their stature by the device of placing
him on a lower leveD, is dressed in a
black silk flowing robe lined with Sar-
gents favorite pink satin, and her
youngest boy, a beautiful child closely
resembling herself, has gathered up the
folds of her train in his hands in a most
natural way. The duke is taken at
his very best, and the Duchess who is
presented in an extremely pretty but
somewhat plaintive phase. over their
heads depend the flags taken at Blen-
helm by the great duke, while the back
ground is a severely plain architectural
effect.
Sargent is always credited with tell
ing story in his work, and today
every one was looking for something
symbolical in this Marlborough group,
and the story the artist is believed to
have consciously or unconsciously told
in it was readily passed from mouth to
mouth: The mother and her two chill
dren are clinging together in one group
and there is something deeply affection
ate in their relation; the duke on the
other hand, stands apart, while the
duchess casts her glance almost directly
over his head, as though he did not
exist.
Another much discussed Sargent is
his Lady Warwick" to whose naughty
beauty he does full justice and presents
her in an attitude of scornful defiance
of the whole world.

Special Gable to The Herald
LONDON, May 6.--The young duch-
ess of Roxburghe having rented No.
Carlton House terrace from the count
ess Of Dudley for the season, has or
dered many alterations before she con-
siders 1t possible to inhabit. She had
decorators paint some panels In the
drawing room an reupholstered some
furniture, while, thinking the dining
room somber, she moved in several
ormolu ornaments from other rooms
to enliven it.
In addition It was reported to the
countess of Dudley that she had spoken
disparagingly Of her taste. So the
countess wrote a sharp note demand
ing to know If the duchess was maxi
ing unauthorized alterations in house
rented for only three months and sig
nifying that at the conclusion OF the
tenancy everything would have to be
restored or made good precisely as at
the beginning.
The duchess replied in dignified
note that she could not understand the
tone of the countess letter, as any al
terations she had made were needed
improvements. The tiff proceeded no
further, however, as the duke inter-
vened sending civil, half apologetic
note explaining that very little had
been done except some painting and
fresh chintzes. The earl Of Dudley an
swered in a friendly tone and the in
cident was closed.

LUCIANO, May 6.-The season here is

Dining In the restaurant with party
of friends recently 1 saw Mr.. and Mrs
Louis Lombard the latter in a white
point d'esprit" dress and wearing
handsome jewels. Mr.. Lombard's villa,
just out of town, the Chateau de Ire
vano, is renowned as an object of even
more interest to tourists than the cele-
brated Carlotta villa on Lake Como.
Mr.. Lombard, who is known all over
the world for his musical compositions,
has a private orchestra of some thirty
musicians every season, and has an
entire building installed as a theater
with a full complement of accessories,
and magnificent hall which serves as
music room for the orchestra, which
Mr.. Lombard always directs himself.
In the latter hall recently Mr.. and

number of picked artists from the
Scala at Milan. Among those present
were Baron and Baroness Won Oertzen,

Shipping the Machines
Automobiles are beginning to arrive
in large numbers, some coming up
from Genoa, but most of them entering
the country by way of the Mont Cents
or the st. Gothard and passing through
the tunnel on a freight car, owing to
the vast masses of snow blocking the
passes. l learn that the process of
thus shipping the machines is very
practical. One can arrive at Modane,
at the mouth of the Mont Cents tunnel,
over excellent roads and load the auto
mobile on a freight car.
Here it is covered with a tarpaulin,
which is corded to the car and sealed
as protection against thefts of access
sories; one can then have the automo-
bile off again on the other side of the
tunnel at Bardonnese, all within the
space of half a day. The cost of all
this is some twenty francs railroad
fare and perhaps as much again to "A
