LONDON, July ii. Pierpont Nor
gan is not at present, at least, to get
the costliest object Of art ever sold
in Great Britain-the celebrated Cab
bitas Biberon which brought ss1,375 at
a recent sale at Christie's. Charles
Wertheimer obtained the wondrous YES
sci by bid of $4,000 over his COMPETE
tor, noted connoisseur named Dur
veen.
At the time it was believed that
Wertheimer was merely acting as
agent for Millionaire Morgan, with
instructions to secure the object of art,
no matter what price he had to pay.
It was believed that the American
financier intended to present the goblet
to the Metropolitan Museum of Art at
New York of which he is trustee, and
there was considerable sorrow in the
British art world at the prospect that
the splendid example of workmanship
should go beyond the sea.
Now, however, comes Wertheimer
with statement that, he was not rep
resenting Morgan when he called out
the big bid which secured the object,
but that he was acting for himself.
Accordingly the prospect that the
Biberon will be added to the American
museums collection becomes vague,
unless Wertheimer should finally con-
sent to sell it to Morgan, who, it is
we'll known, is anxious to purchase it..
Tn facf il ic halieyad that tho fnan-
cier had an agent at the Hub sale
at Christie's at which it was disposed
of, but that the agent got frightened
when he saw how the price was run
ming up and ceased bidding.

RUSSIAN OFFICERS
CALL ON GOV, WRIGHT

The Japan Times Says: There was
a dramatic scene acted in the Ayun-
tamiento yesterday when Admiral En-
quist accompanied by his chief of staff
and the acting Russian consul called
on Governor General Wright. The Jap
anese Consul General, Mr.. Goro Martha,
had preceded the Russian officers. He
was leaving the office of the Governor
General when in the corridor he met
the admiral and the others.
Though unacquainted with the Rus
slams he knew Mr.. George the Rus
sian acting consul, and to him and the
others he bowed low with true Jap
anese courtesy. His salutation was
courteous in the extreme and was
returned in kind by the others. Be-
low on the ground floor score of Jap
anese carpenters and mechanics who
were engaged on repairs to the Ayun-
tamiento grouped themselves at the
| foot of the stairs to see the Russians
depart
| They had heard of the presence of
| the Russians and were curious to see
| them. They smiled complacently at
the officers who We're attired brilliant

them. "Ruskis," they grinned and
| bowed with delight
The Russian officers We're introduced
by Admiral Train and his chief of staff,
Commander Fletcher. The Governor
| General spoke a few words with the
Russian admiral but as the latter's En-
glish was not fluent, his chief of staff
did the talking for him.
They asked the Governor General
if they would be permitted to stay un-
tul they had repaired their ships. They
said that all three were unseaworthy
and that they wished to put them in
shape to make their nearest Russian
port. Governor General Wright re-
!plied as he construed the law they had
the right to remain here until the nee
essary repairs We're made.
| He asked the admiral if it was their
desire TO intern here and to stay until
after war was over. Admiral Enduist

Amiral Train informed Governor
General Wright that the Russian ships

them We're in such a condition that
they would probably sink in a heavy
sea. He believed that it would be best
to allow them to be sheltered behind
the breakwater, during the making of
repairs.
This was acquiesced in and Com
mander Fletcher called up the harbor
master by telephone and asked him to
assign berths to the warships within
the breakwater. He also said that it
would be appreciated if he would send
some one to guide them in.
