CHAUBEIILAIH PLAN ATTACKED BY ROSEBERY Ths cx-Prcmler Ridiculed Colonial Secretary's Programme fcuka of Devonshire Replied Said Whole Cabinet Had Agreed That Time Was Rlp for an Inquiry. July RosEbery, In the wu Cl -uoras tain -afternoon, renewed the debate on the preferential tariff proportions, making a rurther requcse for m-f ormitJoa regarding the Cabinet's plana. In the course of a long speech he ridiculed Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's programme, and aald did not; believe the wfrtrernment Intended to prosecute any Wiry into the matter. The alterations that auch an inquiry was being made were, aaid Lord Rosebery, merely a cloak to screen the irreconcilable differences between the Colonial Secretary and the other members of the Cabinet, and be demanded to know whether the Inquiry would be definite and organised, whether It. would be Individual or collective, and whether the rwsults woutdjbe The Duke of Lord president of the Council, Mid that tt was Impossible iniw to Rive the exact scope of the Inquiry, tkveral heads had been suggested, by Mr.

Chamberlain and Mr. Balfour. The Cor. nu ueirrminea mat we inquiry should be full and satisfactory. Ilia Lordship declined to eater further epon the subject a more explicit and longer notice than Lord Rosebery had seen fit to give in precipitating- to-day' He could aay that the position of the Government at present waa somewhat different from that of Mr.

Chamber-lain; but that they did not conflict. The whole Cabinet -had agreed that the time was ripe for an investigation of the possibilities of a closer fiscal union with the Pnlr.r-U. THE BRITISH TO STOP SUBSIDIZING SHIPS; Ths Announcement Made by Secretary Forster During Discussion of Navy Estimates. LONDON, July the discussion of the navy estimates In the House of nr. jvrnoiu-r orster, jjec rtary of the Admiralty, announced that the Admiralty did not Intend to renew the existing subsidies for merchant ships which may be used in time of war, and that notice would be given 1 next that the contracts would terminate a year from that Many ships of the International Mercantile Marine Company will be affected by uu uccision.

John Lee, American manager of the White EUr Line, when asked how the withdrawal of Government subsidies from, his company would affect it, "It don't amount to much. It la in. line with the 'English' Government's policy of gradually reducing ship subsidies or doing awsy therewith altogether." How large a sum has your company been receiving! "Oh, bftween $00,000 and 140.000." plan which takes effect next Hprlngr No; that sum represents the entire eub- miuy, so jar as snips plying between F.ng-Jaiid and this port Is concerned. The Teutonic. Majestic, and Ocean io are.

the ones affected. None of the other WT-tte Star boats coming to this port are subsidised. "This action. I may say. has hern rather expected, for the Rnsilsh Oovernnot seems to think tt preferable to charter boats if needed In time of war.

The Germans have built some very large vessels that are available for auxiliary warships, and the British Government can duplicate them ww v.iijjb timv woica could be used as a warship, or for other purposes. The Teutonic, Majestic, and Oceania are only auxiliary cruisers." The Cunard boats sailing Into this port which are subsidised are the Lucania, 1'mbria. Etrurtu, and Campania. The sub i-ldy given them is said to be not greater than that allowed for the three White Star liners named. During the Boer war the Cunard Company had experience with the new plan, for St allowed the Aurania to be chartered by the British Oovernment.

The Cunard and White Star Lines are the Onlv linea affected bv th nmnnaltlnn a abolish subsidies. AMERICANS Two Nativea of United Statea In Con flict with British Authorities. LONDON, July 2.

CHINESE AND WORLD'S FAIR. th Raulatlons 'Prescribed by Treasury Department. PEKING, July 2. -The United States Treasury regulations regarding the Chinese visitors to the St. Louis Exposition are bitterly criticised in the native press, and it is believed will demoralise China's efforts to take a creditable part in the exposition.

The moat objectionable points in the eyes of the natives are the five-hundred-dollar bond, the photographic identification, police supervision of the visiting Chinese, and the expulsion from America of the Chinese workmen and assistants when the fair closes. The press points out that the Chinese visiters will be no better than prisoners throughout their-stay. The official newspaper of Chl-Li Province, whose utterances are understood to be directed by Yuan Shi Kl. the Governor of the province, taunts America with hypocritical pretense of friendly Intercourse, end sura the politeness with whlcli what is called the most Just nation on earth treats Its guests Is a warning to Chinese merchants and others throughout the empire to seriously reflect if they are contemplating a visit to SU Louis. Tpe tone of the press has already induced niahy Chinese to forego the idea of exhibiting at the exhibition.

The Pope certainly 4 not what he was two years ago, but only as regards his strength, which has notably diminished owing to his advanced age, and not on account of any specific illness. AU tha doctors who have examined him agree that if nothing unforeseen happens he will live at least another five years. Pope Leo is growing daily more annoyed over th false alarms regarding his health. The other day. when he drove for the first time in the V'atlcan Gardens, he himself, published in the official column of the contrary to custom, ordered the fact to oe Observatore Romano, adding: Tell tn editor to spread the news through the Italian and foreign press, so thast the whole world will thank God that we are well today."

AuOTHEJt 5TH AVENUE GALLERY Modern Dutch, Frentih, and Spanish Pictures at a New Art The new galloAeS of Messrs. FUhel, A flier A Bchwarta at 8T'J Ilflh Avenuit are finished, not, indeed, to the last poin but so far corapleto as to be open for Infection. The entire buUdlnir has been nnade and a notable facade takes the place of the old brownstone front.

The entrance Is en the street level Into a lofty room embracing the former bs seme tt and first ittory. Through a tall, passage with barret vaulting, the sides lined with marble facings and pillars, one sees the second gallery oa a slightly higher level. Tills is hung with a pale green figured paper and Is designed for water-colors and pastels. Beyond, and again slightly higher, is a third room in crimson with stairs at the back leading to the fourth gallery, likewise clad in a rich red wall decoration. These Inner galleries have sky windows which flood the pictures with daylight in the murkiest weather and bring out the most delicate shades of the oil paintings.

The architect is Mr. Edward Neckarsulmer. Under" the Mgb gallery in the rear are the stables and storerooms of the shop, having aa entrance from the side street, so that pictures can be taken in and out with the least interference with the main shop, where, as usual with art dealers, the prints and pictures In black and white are shown, Given the ordinary New York lot, the arrangement of this house is decidedly novel, and the interior, with Us vista of galleries opening One- behind the other and gradually ascending. Is decidedly pleasing. The architect has treated the Interior In a Urge yet sumptuoui way, giving broad spaces tor the eye to rest, on.

lie has somewhat overdone the reds in the two inner galleries, however, which would be more restful and better for the pictures there displayed if a quieter -tone or some neutral tint had been chosen, such as he has supplied in the water color gallery. The pictures are in place for the Summer. Among them a Dutch baby in a wicker cradle by Jacob Israels Is noticeable; also, a little head by Ludwlg Knaus, The Love an ideal face of the blonde Bavarian type, Gabriel Max. probably painted long ago, with a wild rose at the breast-let 'us cajl It ROsIeln auf der Ileide." An Edouard Detaille dated 1ST shows French Infantrymen skirmishing oa a massive stairway that seems to lead to an open Kjuare. Th.jy are firing aa they ascend tho steps, and men in the windows above are joining in the fjght.

This Is a good specimen of Detallle's early work. Late Frtnch work is a graceful "Pandora" by C. A. Lenoir, a young girl clad in one thin robe of white, carrying a golden box. Hern is one of the sensuous women, half Gypsy, half Spaniard, by 1 lie.

Juan and lienner la represented by one of his half-lengths of a young woman with very dead-white complexion, red lips, soulful eyes shadowed by dusky hair, and one 'Spot made by a red flower on her breast. Another lienner Is a sketchy profile of a girl in Alsatian headdress of dark blue, evidently a patriotic head, having reference to the lost provinces. Several pleasing bits of landscape with running water are by Frits Thaulow, the most interesting a moonlight on a canal in a French or Flemish town, with the old 'ow bouses on both sides. A French village street lacks the crinkly water which la the earmark of Thaulow work. A Daublgny is In the same case.

It Is not a river scio, but a French farm Inndscape with haystack and plowman. Boudln is represented by an unpretentious little view of a straggling town distributed on both banks of a creek or stream, across which runs a bridge. In the foreground on sandy soil the rowboats which are drawn up, each giving a se purs is note of color, indicate by their shape the nearness of salt water. There is a small Heated Oriental Bentl-nel by Bargue In one of these galleries which la notable for the ease and natural-Tiess of the pose, but lacks the high. For-tuny-like key of the brusbwork we associate with this short-lived master.

It Is not finished In parts, but has a good deal of merit. Doubtless, had he lived, liargue would have put bis miniature touch to the Oriental face and added value to the picturesque garb. An early example of William Bouguereau dated 1ST 2 shows an Italian girl In white chemise, dark-red overaklrt. greenish-bluo homespun skirt, and dull red and yellow flowers in ber hair, leaning her arm on a tambourine as she sits pensive and alone. It is not so tight In painting as Bouguer-eau's later work.

The pose is natural, sug-gestlQg fatigue, the expression that of an exile suffering from nostalgia. The color scheme -Is uncommonly soft and restful. Altogether this pictsre gives a much better impression of Bouguereau than his later symbolical figures. It realiy baa feeUng and charm, surprising as it may seem to find either charm or real feeling In this bard and self-conscious master's work. There are several pleasing little interiors with sheep and poultry by Charles Jacque.

and some nicely toned little townscapes by Jose Weiss. An old violin player by Jlm-enes-Aranda Is a delightful bit of realistic genre, lie sits before an old green wainscot In a tavern; his big white beaver la thrown to the stone floor, and on his head he wears a tall. soft, conical affair like a nightcap. He wears a dark gray coat, and liver-colored breeches. It is a bit painted with a good deal of pleasure by the Spanish artist.

The OerOme Is not one of the old master's happiest hits. A group of Orientals In colored turbans and robes Issues from a mosque. On the left are veiled women squatting on the ground before baskets heaped with oranges. Two brown dogs are near tbetn. Having no particularly inter-enting story to tell, Gerome's hard brush-work and inability to feel colors with delicacy leave him here In a rather poor plight.

One turns with relief to a little dish of still life by Volion. who may not have had the ablUty to tell much of story In paint, but certainly understood the subtle language of color and bow to express textures in a way to raise them into fine art. Zlem, Clays, Curot. and other painters are seen In these galleries to greater or less advantage as the caso may be. A pleasant half-hour can be spent In picking out the finer examples.

Kelscy. ex-Park Commissioner of Essx County, N. and a member of the Committee on Parka of the Municipal Art Society, bad this to say yesterday regarding the condition of the parks in Greater New York people of Greater New Tork who have not recently looked thronga the parks, especially those in the Manhattan and Brooklyn Boroughs, can have little appreciation of the, present. beauty and attractions of these places of recreation aad their excellent condition at this time. "The sensational reports given out last season regarding the early decay of Central Park were as misleading and erroneous as they were absurd and uncalled for.

How any one making a profession of landscape architecture, and an official of the Park Department at that, could have been ao-crmited with the authorship and authority for those alarming predictions, la to the aversge layman quit unaccountable. The present appearanoe of the parks Is a complete vindication of the- report of the able and competent experts who were later employed by the Park Board to Investigate deep Interment process' tnat bad been recommended for restating the decaying tendency In Central Park. a casual examination should have been sufficient to warrant the experts In completely ignoring, as they did in their report, the nonsensical recommendations mentioned. It is doubtful If the trees, shrub groupings, and lawns were ever more beautiful or -gene rally in better condition than now. Central Park, as are all the other perks or the city, is improving with age.

The specimen plane trees, maples, elms, Undtns. borse chestnuts, beeches, oaks, and other varieties, instead of showing decay, are in the prime of normal and vigorous development, and will continue to grow in attractiveness for msny years to come. The plan adopted for the" restoration ef the overgrown shrubbery plantations and improvement of the lawns appears to have been generally effective. The thinning proems has produced good results, and can no doubt be further employed to excellent advantage. "One of the most noticeable recent Improvements tn Central Park Is the changed condition for tbe bettor in tbe native wood section, known aa the This central portion of the Park was for years, and until quite recently, overgrown with ithi-gy and unsightly undergrowth, without either system or arrangement, unattractive and quite out of keeping with the other portions of the Park.

The massing of large quantities of the native rhododendrons and kalmlaa and tbe Improvement of the lawn sections have produced a tranaformatlon as attractive as It is interesting look upon. "In Brooklyn, park and parkway development Is going en space. Prospect Park, with Its beautiful lawns, plantings, drives, Uke. rose garden, and Vale of Cashmere' remains as always thw oentral feature. The acquisition and improvement of tha adjoining east -side lands, with the wonderful transformation of those lands from a common dumping ground to an attractive modern gark.

now nearlnr com Die Hon l. of the accomplishments of the nasi resr 1 that the oeople will no doubt be iuly thankful for. Perhaps the next most lm- portent Improvement Is the cornpetion of uctiq nriwiy mna its terminal Seaside Park, the park at Coney Island. Here is a marnificertt boulevard directly connecting Prospect Park with tat attractive seaside park, both features of tbe Brooklyn Psrk svstem that will be likely to receive more and nor the approval and appreciation of the public ss time goee on. The new Sunset Park is blng rapidly developed and is in a section w-lwre a perk Is neoded.

commands a grand view from the high ground at the summit, aad will soon add anothur attraction to the parka of the borough. The beeuMfui wstsr views from Bensonhurst and Fort Hamilton Parks and from the Bay Ridge Drive Parkway will always remain attractions in tbe western portion of the city. Th Improvements now being made at the RJSgewood. Park are of a substantial and jk-rmanent character, and thia will eoon rick as one of the finest small parks of the greater city, connected as It le witn. Prospect Park bv the Eastern Parkway.

The views near the Rldgewood Park Ree-eryolr are remarkably fine, and the native trees and wool growth of that park give it already a flnUhed appearance. Of the recent changes for the better In the development of tbe Brooklyn park system perhaps no single improvement Is more noticeable than the work now going on converting Fourth Avenue from noisy unsiicbtly. 'old-time' street Into a seriss of small parks aad a most attractive parkway. Cobblestones and Belgian pavements have given way to greensward, line of trees and shrubbery, and asphalt driveways on each side. The completed portion of this parkway from Sixtieth Street to Fortieth Btreet furnishes a forcible object lesson In the advsrtages accruing from ira- firoved civic con.lltona.

and what enterpris-ng management of a nunlcip.i department may- accomplish for local betterment within a very short time. With the present plans for the eaianrvd and improved parks ana parkways carried ort la Manhattan. Brocfclyis. and the Urona lioroughe the diversified attractions of the New Tork park will have grown with the growth of population SDd resource of the rreater city and will continue as new. ariong the moat beautiful parks In the world."
