lBy Cable to The Tribune J

London. Feb 25.-Tt is understood,
saws the "Daily Telegraph" to-day, that
the Wiltshire owner OF Gainsborough's
superb "View in The Mall, St. James's
Park" has been induced BY the force
majeure OF the strenuous times to
accept a huge sum for his art treas
ure. and that this dancing glimpse Of
eighteenth century English grace is
destined for America.
At present the real principals in the
transaction, involving a purchase price
much in excess of that paid by the late
]. Pierpont Morgan for the notorious
lost and found Gainsborough Ouch

edge OF it.
In this beautiful mall scene, Gains

irons and appeared at Christie's as far

BOOK

Valuable 1909 Edition of
WaShington's Speeches
Gift of F. DunniCan.

With the dimes that rolled in 20
swell the fund for Marjorie's battle
ship yesterday came book. It was an
ancient tome. in stiff covers OF splint-
cry wood, and the paper upon which the
words were printed was brittle and
speckled with brown. The book was
for the originator of the boys and
girls battleship fund-a gift.
THE Patriots Monitor; or, Speeches
and Addresses of the Late George
Washington" was its title. Inscribed
on the hyleaf were the words:
"To Marjorie Sterrett from a well
wisher, Frank Dunnican."
On Washington's Birthday Mr.. Dun
nican. who is patriotically inclined,
dipped into his bookcase and drew forth
the musty little book. 1t was printed
in 1909 by G. Bunce, of 10 Pearl
Street, for Evert Duyckinck, according
to the title page. Mr.. Dunnican read
some of the immortal words of the
Father Of Our Country, marked pass
age or two in which General Washing
ton, then first President of the United
States, expressed views on prepared
ness which are particularly applicable
to-day, then decided to send it to Mar
jorie. That the little Brooklyn patriot
should have q monitor indited by none
other than George Washington was Mr..
Dunnicans inspiration.

George D. Smith, a dealer in rare
books, East Forty-ffth Street. said
the volume was extremely valuable,
because not many copies were printed
1O7 years ago, and most Of those had
been lost or destr yed.
The addresses delivered before Con-
gress by President Washington, includ-
ing his famous Farewell Address"
were collected and printed in the book.
On December 2, 1898. in addressing the
Third Congress, Washington said:
"There IS a rank due to the United

Senator Stone in concluding his letter to President
Wilson, said:
Il think YOU understand my personal attitude with
respect to this subject. AS much and as deeply as
would hate to radically disagree with you, find 1t diff
cult from my sense duty and responsibility to consent
TO plunge this nation into the vortex of this world war
because of the unreasonable obstinacy of any OF the
movers upon the one hand, on the other hand or
foolhardness amounting to sort Of moral treason
against the Republic. of people recklessly rsklng
their lives on armed belligerent ships cannot escape
the conviction that such would be onstrous as to be
indefensble.
Il want to be with you and to stand by you, and |
mean to do so up the last limit, and want to talk
with you and Secretary Lansing with the utmost frank
ness-to confer with you and have your judgment and
counse-and want be kept advised to the course
of events as to me entitled to be. In the
meantime am striving to prevent anything being done

diplomatic negotiations Up to the last you should be
left free act automatically as you think for the best

my wish is to help, not to hinder you.

Between the right bank of the
Meuse and Ornes the enemy has
shown the same ferocity as on the
preceding day and multiplied his
furious attacks. leaving on the
ground piles of dead without having
succeeded in breaking our front.
"On both wings we have with
drawn our line, one part behind
Samogneux. the other to the south
of Ornes. Our artillery has replied
without respite to the artillery Of the
enemy"

\
Albany. Feb. %. Thaddeus c. Sweet,
Speaker Of the Assembly, does not want
the Thompson committee to continue
its investigation of the S2,00O,oOO slush
fund and various other matters.
In an interview here tonight the
Speaker, who fought hard month ago
70 choke off the investigation before 1t
reached the Interborough Rapid Tran
sit Company's affairs. said that he did
not believe Senator Thompson had
made good.
If Sweet is successful the Thompson
committee will die on March 7, long
before the investigation of the S2,O0O,-
600 slush fund is completed. This will
put the quietus on the Thompson in
quiry.
Senator Thompson came here to-day
and at conference with Elon K.
Brown, president PRO tcI o the Sen
ate. and Senator Sage, chairman Of the
finance committee. outlined what he
had done and planned to do.
Senator Thompson Hopeful.
Senator Thompson was hopeful "a he
left the conference, at which he asked
that an indefinite extension OF time be
given him and also sufficient funds to
carry out his programme. Senator'S
Brown and Sage. he said. favored his
programme.
Senator Thompson's proposition for
an indefinite extension Of time has not
been brought officially TO my atten-
ton" said Speaker Sweet. 81 think II
he is in search of any such license 1t
is matter for careful consideration
in order that the interests of the state
NAV be subserved He has not made
good on the promises Of accomplish
ment he gave when he obtained an ex-
tension OF time on February A.
Just what interests Of the state might
be subserved by giving the Thompson
committee more time and money Speak
er Sweet did not make clear.
But from his attitude there was no
mistaking his intention to choke of
the investigation by holding up the
resolution when it reaches the Assem-
bly,. This he tried to do previously.
Senator Thompson said that he would
introduce his resolution Monday night.
It's passage in the Senate is assured.
But unless Sweet changes his mind be
fore then or the Assembly bolts his
programme the resolution will be killed
in the Assembly.
