CHANCES FOR PEACE.
Opinions Among Officials in Paris-No
Intervention of Powers.

Governmental quarters here for the first
time entertain distinct hope of peace
This hope is not strong, but 1t is something
more than mere deduction from the result
of the recent naval battle. What it is based
upon is not known outside of those init
mdtely conversaut with Russia's Intentions
but il is significant that hope now prevails
in high quarters that the peace efforts may
not be futile.
1t is said however that everything de
ponds upon "A small circle very closely
identified with Emperor Nicholas, who. it
is recognized, must have the final word. de-
spite any other influences favorable to
peace.
Concerning the reports of the possible in
PREVENTION of the powers. it is said that the
ment, which might embarrass the pacific
tendencies already developing In Russia.
At the same time the view prevails that
moral influences in France. Great Britain
and the United States stand for peace,
while the interests of Germany incline to-
ward a prolOnsation of the war.
Premier ROuvier has publicly asserted
that Russia's defeat at Mukden led Ger
many to embark on her ambitious program
in Morocco and the same sentiment pre-
walls here now, namely. that Russia's defeat
in the straits of Korea further strengthens
the German ambitions. Therefore. 1t is
expected that influences toward peace will
come through France, Great Britain and
the United States II an opportune moment
arrives for separate or concurrent express
sion of such influences.

FINE GIFT TO BUFFALO.
Dedication of the Magnificent Albright
Art Gallery.

The Albright Art Gallery is a gift to the
people of Buffalo by John ]. Albright and
was dedicated last night Work on the
structure was begun in 1900 and the finish
ing touches have just been added The
gallery cost three-quarters OF a million
dollars, and maintenance fund of $1,000
has also been provided by the donor
The stately structure is of pure white
marble, majestic, chaste a Greek temple
set like a gem on the border of the foliage
fringed lake in Delaware Park. 1t is Ionic
of the purest type. building 30 feet long,
measured north to south, and $50 deep,
reckoning east to west. The facade is
composed of five parts, each part so pro-
portiOned TO add interest one 10 the
other and each bearing a certain positive
part in the entire composition. The facade
is dominated by the large central portico
This pOrtico is interesting from an archaeo-
logical viewpoint, being a reproduction Of
the north porch of the Erectheum on the
AcrOpolis at Athens as it stood in the age
of Pericles-Considered the most perfect
pOrtico ever created The columns of this
portico. like all the other columns of the
building. are large monolithic shafts,
fluted and surmOunted by Ionic capitals.
The north and south wings are not SO high
as the central court. They are connected
with the latter by exterior Colonnades. on
the east front of the building at the ex-
tremity of the north and south wings are
Caryatid pOrChes for which Augustus Saint
GauGens. the famous sculptor. is to create
eight caryatids to support the enta blature.
The building is approached by broad
and stately flight of steps leading to the
main entrance Massive bronze doors open
into the sculpture court, basilica with
sixteen columns supporting the roof. and
in this great court has been placed the
famous collection of casts owned by the
academy, the gift of the late Judge James
NJ. Smith, and the superb sarcOphagus, re-
Gently presented by Gen. Edmund Hayes.
Opening off the main court are galleries of
etchings and cngravings and the larger
galleries set aside for the permanent and
loan collections of paintings. The rooms
are finished in keeping with the dignity and
beauty of the exterior.
The picture rooms are admirably lighted
by day, and at night the softened rays of
electric light reflected through the duh
glass OF the ceilings give an effect that is
a triumph Of the modern ingenuity of this
science.
The floors throughout are tesselated in
vari-colorcd marbles.
II was at first planned to include the art
gallery among the buildings of the Pan
American exposition, the site for the gal
lery being in that part of Delaware Park
incloscd in the exposition grounds. The
architects advised against rushing the
worl, 10 completion and no part of the gal
lery was opened to exposition visitors
