 Senor Limantour, whenever possible, so conducted the conversation as to render it necessary for the President to an- swer only with a ''yes" or no
 After the meeting today, Senor Liman- tour stated that while the President was in great pain, his fever has subsided, and the physicians in consultation on the case do not fear serious conse- quences. It will be some days at least, however before the President can leave his bed.
 A physician not connected with the case but to whom the symptoms were described by a reporter, declined to take issue with official optimism, but de- clared that complications always are to be feared in such cases. especially where the patient is advanced in years. It is stated on authority that President Diaz has no wish nor intention of leaving Mexico following his resignation.
 He Is an old man and new scenes and faces have no attraction. He has no fear of remaining among his country men. While at Chapultepec Castle. which is situated in a public park with in twenty minutes ride of the center of the city, he took daily walks unattend- ed, although a revolution was in full swing. There is no enmity to him per- sonally. His integrity has never been questioned Political differences have arisen, but he feels that the people over whom he has ruled are his friends. Among them he wishes to end his days.
 While the present ministry is not com pletely convinced that tranquility could not be more speedily restored with Diaz in power for few months after the signing of a peace pact, the public at large feels little apprehension on that point It may be stated. however, that the ministry feels less on that score since the object lesson at Pachuca Mon day night and yesterday. Pachuca IS A city of 3SOO0 inhabitants and only six ty miles from here.
 As already reported, mob broke win dows and footed at will for several hours. Meanwhile, however, the better element of the town formed a vigilance committee, which within six hours and without bloodshed, rid the town of the disorderly element and maintained or der until the coming of rebel detach- ment in the morning. The latter ham dled the situation with discretion and tact, combined with frmness, which could not have been exceeded had the federals been in control. Recently, too' the government has delegated to the rebel leaders in the south the task or maintaining order in their respective districts, and has found the insurrectos fully equal to the task The self-con- trol of the insurrectos in Chihuahua, as is we'll known. has. been almost spartan
 Minister Limantour stated that the government has paid its own war ex- penses out of its contingent funds, ana that no new bond issues will be neces- sary. The revolutionary debt Is esti- mated at s.OoO,0O0 pesos 6s,00o. .00o). which 1t Is said the government can pay With out embarrassment.

MASTERPIECES SHOWN AT
 THE NATIONAL GALLERY

Washington. May 17.-Lovers of art in the national capital have rarely, if ever, been given the opportunity to view so many famous pictures in such limited collection as shown in the Slater loan section of the National Gallery of Art in the New National Museum building. This collection has now been installed at the gallery and given the special prominence it deserves in a room on the right of the main entrance to the gall lery.
 Scores of critics and students have been both surprised and delighted at finding such a wonderful display of masterpieces. There are works by Rem brandt Millet, Deacroix, Corot, Dau- bigny. Troyon, Mettling. Diaz, Ruysdael, Rousseau, Hobbema, Wyant, Herkomer and Le Brun. In all, there are fifteen canvases in this superb collection, each and every one masters work.
 Mr. W. A. Slater. who owns this col lection, has graciously consented to per- init 1t to remain in the National Gallery for an indefinite time in order that the people of the city and the stranger within our gates may have an oppor- tunity of inspecting it. Artists and stu dents have fingered long over these pie lures. returning day after day the bet ter to study the masterly technique and superb color.
 MT. Slater, who has been for some years resident of Washington, has spent many years of effort and hundreds of thousands of dollars in gathering to- gether these artistic treasures.
 ''The Rabbi" by Rembrandt unques- tionably stands first. In this painting there Is something less than the usual positiveness of this master. There is transparency in the atmosphere as the bright coppery sunshine apparently breaks through the haze The light Is especially effective on the right side of the face, Illuminating the gray beard. hands and habit. The bronze tones are especially effective and striking.
 If one makes a second choice where all rank so high, 1t might be accorded to the landscape by Hobbema, a typical landscape of the old Dutch school, work characteristic of the work of this mas ter. In the painting there Is an old mill, a mill-race and a water pool in addi- ton to its other features.
 Delacroix's contribution to the collec- tion is entitled Return of Columbus to the Court of Ferdinand Columbus Is

shown accompanied by a group of In-
 dians and other evidences of his suc- cessful voyage. The painting includes large group showing Ferdinand and Isa-
 bella, courtiers, soldiers and ladies of of the times.
 "Fhe Portrait of a Lady," by Madame
 Vigee Le Brun. is a charming work. It is exceedingly well painted and with great attention to detail.
 Troyon's Horses at Watering Trough" Is strongly painted and beau tiful in color. It is a picture that will always command attention.
 Rousseau's Sunset fin a Wood" is beautiful dark picture with woods through which is obtained glimpse of the brilliant sunset.
 Milet has two picture, one, The
 Drinking Place." is a pastel showing woman watering COW, and the other,
 in oil, ''Seamstresses Sewing on a Shroud.' as A landscape by Daubigny, entitled "Springtime,' is a large picture showing a marsh. cattle, women and trees, and one of his wonderful evening skies. This is one of the most modern pictures in the collection, dating 1873. The Corot, which by right takes prec- edence over almost anything in the col lection, Is one of the most celebrated
 paintings of the famous master It has Corots luminous sky, the dull greens and browns of the foliage and the usual figures of dancing fauns and nymphs in
 the foreground.
 Diaz is represented by woodland scene of great beauty and richness of color The effect of the sunlight on the tree trunks half buried in the deep fo- liage, is most striking. It is one of the
 most attractive pictures of this rare col lection.
 Netting has an interesting head of a boy with Titan hair contrasting strongly with the luminous face. It is a gem worthy of it's place among the masters. "The Dunes Near Haarlem," a land- scape by Ruysdael, and another Land scape," by Alexander H. Wyant, com plete the collection.
 The National Museum Is open from to 4:30 every week day.

The reservoir will be cleaned by that time and two gallons of water in a new demi- john with new cork will be shipped to Auburn.

The thirtieth annual session of the Alabama Pharmaceutical association came to a close with a meeting yester. day afternoon at the Chamber of Com merce auditorium, at which the election of officers was made as follows: w. F Thomason, of Guntersville, president Jack Adams, of Birmingham, first vice president; E. C. Andrew, of Montgomery second vice president; F. F. Ravens craft, of Union Springs, treasurer, and ". E. Bingham, of Tuscaloosa, secre- tary.
 The second session of the convention was held yesterday p1orning at 1e o'clock. The matters coming up before this session were more in the way of rou- tine. However, excellent papers were read on interesting subjects by A. C. Cain. of Decatur, and Carl Horton. of Huntsville
 At the meeting yesterday afternoon the following were elected as members of the executive committee: s, A. Will Hams. of Troy: Frank Cartels, of Gads- den, and pr. w P. McDairmid, of Tal- ladega. Considerable time was taken up bv the association at the afternoon ses- sion with the discussion of the alleged violations of the state pharmacy laws.
 According to statement from Dr. W. E. Bingham. of Tuscaloosa, secretary Of the association, and member of the board of pharmacy, a most vigorous ef- fort will be made to prohibit the selling of narcotic drugs -indiscriminately with out the order of doctors. and further that the association is going to see to it that every drug concern in the state which is doing business without a H. censed pharmacist will be brought be- fore the courts and duly punished.
 we are tired of having these matters which are of such grave nature dis missed by the grand juries,' said Dr. Bingham. 'so we have employed inspec- tors and legal counsel in order to put a stop to this serious offense. It is not alone in Birmingham that we find so- called druggists violating the pharmacy laws, tut all over the state, and these will be brought before the courts and prosecuted sooner or later.'
 The delegates to the convention were entertained last nlSHt at d pdhquet at the Hotel Hillman. An elaborate suc- cession of courses was served, and when the guests and banqueters had become partially eated and their attention gain ed. Dr. John L.
