part of some picture merchants in Par
is to palm off, especially upon Ameri-
can purchasers, paintings of unknown
artists as the productions of eminent
masters. He gives it as his opinion
that there are few collections in the
United States which have not been
more or less vitiated by these fraudu-
lent practices. His revelations as to
the methods employed in this nefar-
ious traffic are astounding. 1t even
seems that in Paris there a number
of manufactures in which false mas
tiers are produced wholesale for the
market "A Paris authority" illus
trates his article by relating instances
of fabrication:

garden in the country, he set him to
work to copy each picture 25 times

SWEDEN AND NORWAY.
Countries Appear to be on Verge Of
War.

Paris, July l2.-Baron D'Estourn-
Giles de Constant, the French member
of The Hague peace tribunal has writ
ten letter to Premier ROuvier urging
French INTERPRETATION in the conflict
between Norway and Sweden. The let
ter says in part:
THE governments of Europe alb
stained from offering their good Of
fees to Russia and Japan with the
result that the United States has the
honor of beneficent intervention. Pre-
viously the same European govern
ments abstained from recognizing the
existence of The Hague convention,
thus leaving the United States the
honor of initiating such recognition.
Today a grave conflict has broken out
between Sweden and Norway. With
out thrusting ourselves into the con-
fiict, we cannot remain Indifferent to
our duty to ourselves and to all Eu-
rope to prevent the spread OF vio-
lent cOnf1agration. The relations of
France toward Sweden and Norway in
sure sympathetic welcome to words
of Cancellation from you. | therefore
ask in the name of great number
of French and foreign parliamentary
ians, that you give your powerful au-
thority 10 this pacific effort which will
receive an approving echo from the
governments of Europe and America.
